REPORTS - SUPERVISOR PELL 1 . The first report is the monthly report from Judge Rich. 2 . .The monthly report from Cable TV. 3 . Fresh Water Committee -report from Councilman Murdock. COUNCILMAN MURDOCK: This committee, it ' s not really a committee, it ' s an adjunct of what the Trustees have been investigating in terms of making a fresh water inventory and they, I believe, are preparing to make a recommendation to the Town Board about hiring a consulting firm or having a meeting with them in terms of hiring them to make an inventory of all fresh water ponds and possibly . tidal wetlands in the Tonw of Southold. We haven 't gone into funding, it ' s not going to be a cheap proposition and hopefully if we get into it we can find help from the state funds and federal funds . That. is a forthcoming project . 4. Wage and .policy, Councilman Drum. COUNCILMAN DRUM: We discussed earlier in the executive session primarily dealing with administruative matters as I had stated previously in my report . 5 . Inland Waterways Committee, Councilman Drum. COUNCILMAN DRUM: The county has notified us that they are will proceed with the dredging of Deep Hole Creek, Little Creek and Halls Creek and we do have some resolutions and assurances that are necessary by the Town Board before they will take action on these. It is our feeling that-the committee ' s feeling-that we have,.:many creeks and inlets that need dredging. I 'm talking about bays and .,� . MAY 20, 1980 primarily the entrances. They haven 't closed, they 're not in as bad condition as those that I had mentioned, however , some remain to be critical and it is the committee ' - feeling that they are a hazard to local boating and public and actually restirct the natural flow of water in and out which is very natural , the flushing action is essential . I feel that the real solution is that we, the eastern towns in Peconic Bay, have a dredge assigned permanently which would provide this annual maintenance to all of the townships along Peconic Bay. That is my recommendation. 6. Beach and Parks Committee, Councilman NIckles. COUNCILMAN NICKLES : I haven '•t really any report , Mr . Supervisor. Our next meeting is going to be at 9 : 30 on Friday. We are going to take up several matters, one of which is reviewing with the people of the Kenney ' s Beach area a possible ordinance relative to beach vehicles. 7 . This is a meeting I was supposed to go to and sent my Deputy to , an Energy meeting. Deputy Johnson. DEPUTY SUPERVISOR JOHNSON: This conference was called by Congress- man Downey and the county executive to set up an energy study, an energy use study in Suffolk county. The:.-inspiration for this came from a study that was done in Portland, Oregon in 1974 when the first gasoline crisis hit us and Oregon realized they had a serious problem and at the same time they had a drought in that area and since most of their energy is hydro-electric it was a kind of double problem. So they set up a committee of the citizens, all walks of life , to study the uses and construction of buildings and all kinds of things that would have anything to do with their energy use. They did a complete audit of the city and they came up with a plan that was eventually adopted and the one thing that has gotten national attention is the fact that they came up with a mandatory insulation program which is the only one i.n the country. as far as they knew of . The Suffolk County one - conference - divided the groups of people there into seven subcommittees and one committee which will coordinate what all the others do. I will be serving on the committee studying renewable resources and alternate energy sources . We will be meeting once a month for the next year and there will be during the course of the year public herirings and seminars which the members of the various committees will conduct . 8 . Report for myself, the East End Supervisor 's Meeting. The East End Supervisors met this past month in Southold Town . We discussed the town ' s requesting part of the sales tax back from the county. Many of the towns have done this already. We discussed the present negotiations which come up with each town each year, the CSEA and the PBA and the different attitudes that the different towns would like to see taken. An emergency evacuation plan was discussed. But Southold Town is the only one that comes anywhere within a ten mile circle of any nuclear plant . We have Fishers Island as part of Southold Town and we are working on a plan. Councilman Drum is sitting on top of this, working on this plan, with Doyen .from Fishers Island, Serge Doyen from Fishers Island, and they are staying on top of this and as I said, out of the five towns we are the . only town who is really within the ten mile range and we are working on that . 9. Dog Warden ' s report which will be onfile in the Town Clerk ' s Office . 10 . I 'm back to another panel that I was supposed to be on and again I sent my Deputy to represent me, Mrs. Johnson. DEPUTY SUPERVISOR JOHNSON: This was the second year the county executive called a cost cutting conference. It was attended mostly by county officials and town officials, it seems . We had rather short advance notice and there weren ' t many of the public there. The group had one common meeting and then broke into six or, five panels . I was on one of the panels dealing with energy and the environment . We mostly discussed things that are going on in our own towns, our own areas that are energy saving. It was a very interesting discussion. Councilman Murdock was there, perhaps he has something to add. COUNCILMAN MURDO.CK: It was interesting. The Town of Rive.rhead MAY 20, 1980 1.1 ' has been a little bit at the lead. We come to find out they have ' a little advanced help in that Grumman Engineering has been providing little service helping them check their buildings and do surveys . They have gone into a solar heating system for their hot water, they have gone into tinted windows in terms of summer radiation and retaining the winter heat . The most interesting part is in terms of their town vehicles . They are going to sell off at public auction all of their converted police cruisers which have a much heavier motor---a police package which brings the mileage down to about eight miles a gallon and they are going to go out and buy, used cars from wither Avis or Hertz and they are going to go into the smaller economy cars for the town employees, such as the building inspector and health department . They are really off and running in terms of conserving energy and at the same time conserve money. That did make the conference very interesting to me. Something I ' ll talk to the gentlemen about as we go along. The meetings were too short , I felt . That may sound funny for someone to say that but when something is interesting you' d be surprised how fast two hours goes by and the meetings were too short . I would more favor all day sessions if they are going to be only once a year because I think one of the first things we have to start doing at all levels of government is cutting cost if possible . MR. W.S . GARDINER: Is it in order now, Mr . Supervisor, to ask a question on one of your committee reports or would you rather I wait? SUPERVISOR PELL: I 'd rather save it to the end. I have a hearing at 3 :40 scheduled by law and I 'd like to go into that . I am going to ask for a recess now as long as it will be required to hold the public hearings that are advertised for this time . On motion of Supervisor..Pell, Seconded by Councilman Drum, it was RESOLVED that a recess be called at this time, 3 :40 P.M. for the purpose of holding public hearings at 3 :40 P.M. in the matter of an amendment of the current Town budget relative to the use of Federal Revenue Sharing Funds; and at 3 :45 P.M. in the matter of a Local Law tOoProvide for the Removal or Repair of Unsafe Buildings and Collapsed Structures. Meeting to reconvene following the public hearings. Vote of the Town Board: Ayes : Councilman Sullivan, Councilman Murdock, Councilman Nickles, Councilman Drum, Justice Doyen, Supervisor Pell .

As John said they will be o n file in the Town Clerk' s Office, also the applications . COMMUNICATIONS SUPERVISOR PELL: 1.

SUPERVISOR PELL: That ends that the agenda that we have up here and I will ask my Councilmen if they have anything they wish to bring up. Councilman Murdock? (nothing) Councilman Drum? (nothing.) Councilman Nickles ? COUNCILMAN NICKLES : I don ' t know whether I should bring this up now or later. We were discussing something about HUD and applica- tions and a letter that we received from HUD with a questionnaire relative to Southold Commons . SUPERVISOR PELLL Yes . We have thirty days . Henry Raynor --- We received a letter from HUD on a proposed project in Southold Town. It came to my office on Monday. I gave it to the Planning Board. They met last night . I just got the Planning Board's letter back to me this afternoon when we talked in here, at quarter to three Mert came in and, Mert Brush, and put it on my desk. I have not read it yet . We have thirty days and I do plan to put it on the next agenda. COUNCILMAN NICKLES : I would request that if Mr . Pappas is still around when we break that we discuss this with him. SUPERVISOR PELL: Okay. Councilman Sullivan? (nothing) Councilman Doyen? (nothing) The floor is yours . Mr . Gardiner? MR. W.S . GARDINER: I just had a question on the Long Island Cablevision monthly report . I ' d like to know where they stand on their two year expansion program. SUPERVISOR PELL: Alright . I don 't have that . This is a complaint this report we get each monthly is on complaints, but I can request from them an update on the two year expansion and have it ready for you at the next Board meeting. COUNCILMAN MURDOCK: At the last meeting we just had a report . TOWN CLERK TERRY: They had completed Captain Kidd's and now they are in the 'Hog Neck area. MR. GARDINER: Are they on schedule? COUNCILMAN MURDOCK: They say so. COUNCILMAN DRUM: I think they are. SUPERVISOR PELL: I ' ll look the report up. MR. GARDINER: The folks are asking me on Nassau Point and I 'd like to have something definitive, something concrete . SUPERVISOR PELL: Let mei._.look in my communication file and I ' ll get ahold of you in the next day or two . MAY 20, 1980 125 . MR. GARDINER: Fine, I 'd appreciate that . We are having a meeting on Saturday. SUPERVISOR PELL: ' Mr . Gardiner, I ' ll get back to you on an update of the Long Island Cablevision progress. COUNCILMAN DRUM: They say they 've completed construction, Cablevision now, on the Captain Kidd Estates, Little Neck area, Deep Hole Lane and presently starting construction in the Hog Neck area. Now, this doesn ' t say whether they are on schedule or not but I 'm pretty sure they are :. SUPERVISOR PELL: I ' ll get back to you, Mr . Gardiner, in a couple of days, before Saturday anyway. MR. CHARLES HICKEY: On the last agenda, two weeks ago, you had an article on dental and optical plan . Do you have something on that? SUPERVISOR PELL: Yes, we have . That was discussed today in the working session of the Board. Tentatively the Board is thinking along these lines . That the figure is $26 . 00 per month for every participant . $24 . 00 to $26 . 00 per month. The Town elected officials, as we all are, some of them feel that they would like to be part of this . The Wage and Policy Committee is investigating the cost . They gave me numbers today of who they feel should be entitled to it . The percentage that should be paid and I have to go to the books now and figure out how many of it it is . Their recommendation was that it does not take effect until next year ' s budget . We didn't put any money in the budget for this item at this time . In two weeks after I do a little arithmetic and find out who is full time and who wants it, who does not , like myself, I , as full time, do not want it because I have it under another plan . These are things I 'have to look into to get a figure . MR. HICKEY: Can you also find out about what is the length of time they want this, is it just for their time they are elected for or is it for the whole family, is it for the children and the cost . SUPERVISOR PELL: Good point . Yes, we will get back to you on that . MR. HICKEY: And when they leave and are not elected again then it falls apart . COUNCILMAN DRUM: That would be rather difficult. to determine their feelings now, how they feel if they are not elected . Perhaps they plan on being elected forever . I 'm saying that ' s a determination that could not be made . Now, as to whether they are going to include their families, and if they had families, of course, this is a determination that will be made before a final decision is made . MR. HICKEY: I 'm thinking in terms of orthodontist work for children and so forth which could cost the taxpayers quite a few extra dollars . COUNCILMAN NICKLES : I think we should point .out that the. Town Board members, the Councilmen, would not be participating in this unless they were paying full freight themselves which would be $26. 00 or $24. 00 times the twelve month period. In other words, I , as a Councilman, if I should want to participate in this dental program I would have to pay directly into the program what the Town would be paying for a full time elected offi.ci.al Which actually is what was recommended in the case of Bill (Supervisor Pell) is he is a full time elected official, the Town would pay half and he would pay half . In the case of the Councilmen, which is a part time position, although as someone remarked this morning we work full time, we would on be - we would bear that cost individually . This is what really is the ongoing study is about and why it hasn 't been brought to the agenda to be voted on because they still have a few more things to iron out as Bill described. MR. HICKEY: I do hope that before this is even throughIt.he Board that the taxpayer knows all about it and what it is going to cost them. SUPERVISOR PELL: It will be discussed right here in this room. before it goes into effect . Anybody else? 12 ; MAY 20, 1980 MARGARET POULT: I 'd like to ask Mr . Drum. I 'm a resident of Mattituck. Another resident Mr. Williams told me he spoke- .to you and you told him about a week ago right- here in Town Hall, that the State was going to replace the bridge on Peconic Bay Boulevard with a four land bridge because, quote, they-re going to put a national or something down there. Now, my questions axe, one, is your statement that the bridge is going to be four lanes correct , and two, by national park, you don ' t mean Robins Island do you? COUNCILMAN DRUM: I did not make this statement . I believe we are talking about Mr. Hadley Williams . I think. it was Mr . Hadley Williams who I feel I know fairly well and I did not make this public statement at any one particular '.time. Mr . Hadley Williams and I were discussing and he said, "I don 't care it . we had no bridge . ' I said, "Unfortunately, in Southold Town we have no "control over the brideee . " And I had jokeingly --- we made several statements jokeingly I have never made any official statement whatsoever . I do not know -- it was news to me, I read it in the paper, when the article appeared that they were going to replace two of the bridges . This was not a Southold Town Board action whatsoever . I don ' t know of any plans and when the bridges will come about . I do know there are several people who have spoken to me in opposition to the bridges. SUPERVISOR PELL: Let me bring you up to date a little bit if I can. I had written to the County Department of Public Works requesting that the Town be given a set of rough blueprints before they go into final stage so we could examine them and make sure the bridges are going to be what we think it should be. I had a reply come back and told me there was from anywheres from three to five years away. They are being done by federal funds and that we would be given the set of plans when they were prepared. I wrote a letter back to the gnetleman and said the point I 'm trying to make is before the plans are in final draft stage we would like to have a little bit of input . to what we think would go with our township there . We don' t want something that we don ' t feel would go with the New Suffolk-Mattituck road. We want to have a little bit of input . That letter went out a couple of weeks ago and I haven 't got -- I haven ' t received a repl yet . So I have written twice to the County Department of Public Works on this and had on reply. that 's where we stand on the bridges. I have had, I 'm going to say, probably ten, twelve telephone calls, at least , from people down that way in the .New Suffolk-Mattituck area on these things. Southold up here, the Jockey Creek bridge, was another one they mentioned. I was down to the coffee shop and wondered what ' s going on. I said, fellows, I don ' t know yet , give me a chance. That ' s where we stand on the bridges. I hope I have assured you we are on top of it . Anybody else wish to be heard? MR. FRANK BEAR: I just want to ask a question about the proposed study for an airport . A little over a year ago there was an airport committee which was looking into the question of the possibility of a town airport and at that time I think the committee agreed that before anything was done there should be a study and I see that that at least is now the apparent direction in which you seem to be going. The question I do have in that connection, however, one, at the time we were studying this a year or so ago we were told that Tri State Planning Commission reports on the possible need for an airport in this Town, would have to come first before we went further with the federal agency or whatever is done by the town, so, my question is, whether or not the action which apparently is being taken is being taken with the assumption or that there actually will be a study or is this just another step in what appears to be to me a move in the direction of an airport sooner or later anyway. I just would like to get clarified who ' s responsible for this, Dave Spohn here or are other people going to be involved or who ' s going to make the recommendation? COUNCILMAN DRUM: Mr . Bear, as far as Tri State, the Federal Avaiation Administration has advised and stated that the townships governmental agencies that they can apply directly to the FAA. Why the Tri State has been bypassed as not necessary any longer I do not know, however, it is at my personal feeling that I as a Town Board member am going nowhere and as I men tioned earlier this morning our aviation committee, airport committee, of which you were a member of , this was our recommendation that we have a study and it is my feeling that this is where we 're going and this MAY 20, 1980 1 2 7- is out intention that we have a study to determine the necessary, the need. That ' s -- I feel very strongly. And this was part of your recommendation, you and I , one of the things we recommended, that we have a study before we go any further. MR. BEAR: ' I agree with that and as I said a while ago I 'm glad that that ' s the direction you seem to be going. There is one question that does come to my mind, though, and this is experienced not just with airports but with every study, these studies seem to go inthe direction of getting what the study group, organization, corporation or whatever it is, expects of the people that are hiring them to give. I ' d like to just raise the question of how we know which one of these groups is going to be the most objective? Objectivity is the thing that I am concerned about here . COUNCILMAN DRUM: We are going to interview them. SUPERVISOR PELL: Good point . Anybody else wish to be heard? COUNCILMAN NICKLES : Because of the problem we had in our work session today, as you heard, I wasn ' t able to bring this up but I am concerned about a federal bill that ' s in the hopper down in Washington at the United States Congress. It is HR5200 and this pertains to HUD. What concerns me about it is that this is enabling legislation that they can be the policeman, judge and jury. What they are going to do is remove people and or towns and municipalities from going into court . This legislation, part of it , is enabling the HUD outfit to have their own administrative tribunal The only word I can think of that can properly express it . In the event that they discern, this legislation will provide funding for them to come into the various municipalities in the United States and determine whether or not our zoning is exclusionary and/or discriminatory the town would be deprived of going to a court of law to defent them- selves . They would have a hearing by one of these administrative tribunals . In other words, kind of like going to the motor vehicle, they make the laws and they review your license all in that same department . Kind of-.doesn 't give you -- a one sided type of situation. I personally -do not think it ' s proper . I don-'t oppose the basic legislation that ' s involved but I do oppose that aspect of it where in the event in the Town of Southold somebody should come in here and say that our zoning is exclusionary I think we ought to have our day in court and not before some administrative hearing run by HUD. Consequently I would offer a resolution to oppose that portion of HR5200 which I believe is Section 811 and send forthwith notice to our congressmen and senators. SUPERVISOR PELL: I haven ' t seen it . We ' re going to meet on the 6th. COUNCILMAN NICKLES : Well, I feel the- 6th is too late. This is something --- SUPERVISOR PELL: When did you get ahold of this? COUNCILMAN NICKLES : I just got ahold it it yesterday. I know this bill is live and can be acted on any minute. In other words, to put it off until the 6th. If you want to recess so we can go into the work session to discuss this further I would be happy to do that . Or if you want to discuss it now, we ' ll discuss it now. SUPERVISOR PELL: Do you h-ve the bill in its entirety? COUNCILMAN NICKLES : I don ' t. have the bill . MR. DOMINICK ZITO: I would like to pose a question to Councilman Nickles . You are introducing a resolution which we 're not really aware of. It hasn 't been presented formally. So how do you expect us to vote on the resolution without really knowing what the facts are? COUNCILMAN NICKLES : It ' s something I just learned about yesterday and I feel it is important and I feel that , as I said, I 'm not opposed to the basic premise of HR5200 but I am opposed to the fact that they 're eliminating our day in court ; that any violations will be handled through administrative situations within HUD itself . ' MAY 20, 1980 MR. ZITO: This appears to me to be speculation. COUNCILMAN NICKLES : It ; s not speculation, sir . MR. ZITO: I ' d like to see a more formal presentation before you even introduce the idea. COUNCILMAN NICKLES : If the Town Board wishes to recess I can gather the necessary papers and present to the Town Board. It would be the Town Board, I think, that would make the decision on this representing you. SUPERVISOR PELL: I will recommend, John, to recess this meeting today and give the Town Board a chance. This is the first I heard of it out here and I know I would have to abstain from voting. COUNCILMAN NICKLES : Well , I wanted to bring it up earlier, Bill, but we were twenty-five minutes late getting into this meeting. MR. RICHARD WINTERS : On that House Bill, I certainly don 't profess to be an expert on it and I 'm not really here on that matter, but to pick up a little bit on what Councilman Nickles said. I am a member of the Society of Real Estate Appraisers which is an inter- national organization and we recnetly received a flyer from them addressing HR5200 and, they were adamently opposed to it because of its restrictive nature and the tribunal effect that you mentioned, John. I can agree with the Town Board' s position and sometimes we are impatient with our legislators but I wish I could say that I 'm an expert on it, I 'm not , have only indefinite information but if that will help. There is one highly though of recognized inter- national organization that is interested in free enterprise and property development that has come out in opposition to HR5200. SUPERVISOR PELL: Thank you. If the Town Board wishes to act upon it so be it but I will recommend that we recess for time to gather more information on this and then act on it . Anybody else have anything to bring up? I am going to lay this aside' and,,:when we adjourn today--we are going to recess . It might be until tomorrow until we can get more information on this, give us a chance to call Washington and have them read the bill to us over the phone . We can take it down so we know what we are voting on . So I probably will ask for a recess until the time length it takes--- TOWN ATTORNEY TASKER: We have to recess until a time certain.
