SOUTHOLD TOWN BOARD
JANUARY 19, 1999
WORK SESSION
Present: Supervisor Jean W. Cochran, Councilwoman Alice J . Hussie, Justice
Louisa P. Evans, Councilman William D. Moore, Councilman John M. Romanelli,
Councilman Brian G. Murphy, Town Clerk Elizabeth A. Neville, Town Attorney
Gregory F. Yakaboski. .
9:00 A.M. IV. FOR DISCUSSION ITEMS: IV. 1. - Millstone Nuclear Power Plant
The Board discussed the possible resolution supporting the immediate shutdown.
Supervisor Cochran said that they have broken their promise and our trust in
not notifying the Town of the January 4th accident in which 800 gallons of
radioactive water leaked into Long Island Sound. She learned of the accidental
spill through Fish Unlimited. (See Resolution No. 34) IV. 2. - Town Historian
Fee for Historical Research Town Historian Antonia' Booth appeared before the
Board to answer questions about the sample letter which she submitted for their
approval. Councilwoman Hussie asked Ms. Booth what she expects this form
letter to accomplish. Ms. Booth -explained that she receives a lot of requests
for research, approximately 350 annually, approximately 60 of which are for
genealogical research: She has a procedure which she follows which takes
approximately one and one half hours to search the Town Records, the
genealogical files and _the Salmon Records. She proposes to charge $25.00 for
this first initial search and then advise them if there is further research that
she could do, there will be a charge of $20.00 per hour. The State Auditor
suggested to her that residents of the Town not be charged a fee, just
non-residents. Supervisor Cochran questioned the percentage of non-resident to
local resident requests. Mrs. Booth will research these figures and bring them
back to the Board. Mrs. Booth also advised that she gives further suggestions
to people as to where to write to obtain further information. The Board was
divided and tied in their opinions as to whether to charge only non-residents or
both local residents and non-residents alike for historical research. Supervisor
Cochran, Justice Evans, and Councilman Moore said no charge to residents.
Justice Evans added that if a search takes over 1 1/2 hours for a resident, then
they should be charged for the additional time. Councilwoman Hussie,
Councilman Romanelli, and Councilman Murphy though all should be charged
alike. The Town Attorney was instructed to prepare the necessary local law and
the matter will be discussed at a future meeting. IV. 3. Designation of Official
Town Newspaper. This matter was held over from the January 4, 1999
Organization Meeting. The Suffolk Life Newspaper had asked to be considered.
The matter was researched and it was found that a newspaper must be a second
class paper within the Town. The Suffolk Life was a third class paper. They
do have a Suffolk County edition of the Suffolk Life, but it is only distributed
on the west end of the county and it was not recommended -to designate them.
(See Resolution No. 29) IV. 4 Building Department request for permission for
building inspectors to attend annual in-service training. There were two
requests: the first for Building Inspectors Gary Fish and John Boufis to attend
the Finger Lakes Building Officials Conference in Rochester and the second for
Michael Verity to attend a training for school inspections at the Fire Service
Academy at Yaphank. The Board questioned as to whether this required annual
training wasn't available at a closer location. Building Department Head Edward
Forrester advised that there were other closer training conferences, but none
where all of the required training could be accomplished during one conference.
(See Resolution Nos. 30 and 31.) IV. 5 - Request from Venetia McKeighan to
ask for a suggested donation from persons utilizing their transportation program
which is used mostly to transport. residents to doctors and hospitals. Mr.
McKeighan stated that the Nutrition Program, the Home Delivered Meals Program
and the Day Care Program all use this suggested donation for the method of
payment. The following amounts for suggested donations were given: $3.00 for a
roundtrip within Southold Town; $5.00 for a roundtrip to Riverhead; and $10.00
JANUARY 19, 1999
for a roundtrip to Stony Brook. The Board unanimously agreed to try this out.
IV 6.Marratooka Lake Park Improvements 1999 costs. Supervisor Cochran
explained that the Town owns the parcel on the back on New Suffolk Avenue and
now the woods to the right, the Mattituck School owns the front on the right
side and the Mattituck Park District owns to the left. The Supervisor expressed
her desire for the Town, the School, and the Park District to work together to
open up the vista. Right nowyou can't see the lake because the phragmites
have grown up so high. The last survey was done . in 1972 and a lot of the
boundary markers are missing. Nothing can be done until such time as the
boundaries are determined by a surveyor. On the south end the split rail fence
should be replaced and two picnic tables added; on the north end a plaque is to
be installed on a rock and plantings added to beautify the area. Two (2)
options were presented to the Board. To completely re-survey the property and
make a new map the cost would be $7,125.00. To update the survey and place
13 monuments, the cost would be $2,900.00. The Board decided on the staking
alternative method at a cost of $2,900.00. (See Resolution No. 33 authorizing a
budget modification in order to accomplish these improvements). IV. 7. Request
from Rotary Clubs for permission to erect sign at Laurel Park. The Board
endorsed the idea of one sign for all the service groups with the stipulation
that all groups were included, the Rotary and Kwianis Clubs, and the Chambers
of Commerce. Councilman Moore advised that he spoke with Eric Crook of the
Mattituck Chamber of Commerce and he doesn't think that the groups are
working together on this. Mr. Moore will contact Ms. Doty and relay the
Board's concerns to her about all of the groups working together. Supervisor
Cochran told him to be sure to let Mt. Doty know that if they need any
assistance dealing with the New York State Dept. of Transportation, the Town
will help out. Supervisor Cochran added that she would like to see the sign
next to the Community Pride Sign on the south side of the road.
The Board concluded the IV. For Discussion Items at 10:05 A.M.
Justice Evans questioned the length of the meeting scheduled for the next day at
9:00 A.M. on the 2% Community Preservation Fund. All of the Board members
were not aware of the meeting. It was determined that a meeting notice had not
been sent out. Supervisor Cochran stated that she was not yet ready for this
meeting. There was a meeting of the east end officials scheduled last week that
had to be cancelled due to inclement weather. Supervisor Cochran said that she
would rather attend the officials meeting before holding our own. This meeting
for January 20 on the Community Preservation Fund was cancelled at this time to
be rescheduled at a later date.
10:05 A.M. - The Board reviewed Resolution numbers 1 through 25 to be voted
upon at the regular 4:30 P.M. meeting.

of the Connecticut coast. This conference on March 19, 1999 sponsored by ou

V. RESOLUTIONS.
SUPERVISOR COCHRAN: As you know the Town Board has a policy in
relation to the resolutions. If you would like to have your input at this
time on any of the resolution that are printed, we will take your comments
now. There is a time later on at the end of the meeting; where you may
address the Board on any Town business. This is . just in relation to the
resolutions.
FRANK CARLIN: Frank Carlin. Number 4, that sand purchase?
COUNCILWOMAN HUSSIE: That bid is for the Highway for ice and snow
control.
FRANK CARLIN: We don't have no sand down there all the time? We have
to go out, and buy it?
COUNCILWOMAN HUSSIE: Every year we do this.
COUNCILMAN MURPHY: You meant at the landfill, Frank? No, we can't
anymore.
FRANK CARLIN: I remember years ago we had the sand, and we had to
sell it.
COUNCILMAN MURPHY: We are not allowed to mine that anymore.
FRANK CARLIN: Okay, that settles that one.
SUPERVISOR COCHRAN: Frank, even now we had the opportunity two
years ago to get the sand, that they were taking off the beach down here
in South Harbor, on that beach, but different, qualities, the size of the
grains. Some can be used on roads, some can't, so when we run out of a
particular kind that is used for the icing, that is when we have to buy it.
I think it has something to do with the granular. Some they call soft sand.
Some they call hard sand, and not being a Highway Superintendent.
FRANK CARLIN: I was just saying was we used to have a lot of sand. You
could take the sand out for your own use, and I wonder why, but now I
know. You explained why. You can't do it no more.
SUPERVISOR COCHRAN: Okay. Any others?
FRANK CARLIN: Number 20, 1 see a bond all the time. Is that another
bond you are going to be issuing for this here street sweeper?
SUPERVISOR COCHRAN: That is equipment for the Highway Department.
That is Mr. Jacobs. He has needed a sweeper for a few years. It was in
last year's Capital Budget, and we kind of held it off, but it is to the
point of where you have to bite the bullet, and buy the sweeper.
FRANK CARLIN: You are going to use a bond to do it?
SUPERVISOR COCHRAN: Yes.
FRANK CARLIN: There is another one here for $170,000, are you going to
use another bond for that one?
COUNCILWOMAN HUSSIE: That is for a dump truck up at the Landfill, and
also, for the office trailer. That is also a bond, that we had proposed
last year.
FRANK CARLIN: You don't have that money in your budget, that we have
to use bonds, right?
SUPERVISOR COCHRAN: No, we don't have this in the Budget. It is in
the Capital Budget, but most of your items in the Capital Budget are bond
items.
`.„ JANUARY 19, 1999 \65,
FRANK CARLIN: One more thing, while I am here, 18, 1 think I mentioned
it once before, and you gave me an answer, number 18, why do you need a
resolution to put up a simple stop sign for? Couldn't you just put it in
there?
COUNCILMAN MOORE: You have to set it up as a Local Law. You put it
on the books. That' way when someone violates it, the Vehicle and Traffic
Law says, you have a Local Law. You sit there, and you pull out the Town
Code, and see a whole list of where our stop signs, and yield signs are,
and speed limit signs, that when someone breaks a law, that is the law that
justifies putting the sign in, in the first place.
SUPERVISOR COCHRAN: Frank, when it is a State Road, they have to
take care of it. When it is County Road they take care of it. If it is a
Town road, so that we can enforce the stop sign it has to be put into the
Code. So, you will see any of those traffic things go through the Board.
Is there anyone else who would like to address the Town Board on any of
the resolutions? (No response.) If not, number one?

necessary machine. We have, I think, four of them now. We just need a
few more.

25.- Vote of the Town Board: Ayes: Councilman Murphy, Councilman

This resolution was duly ADOPTED.
SUPERVISOR COCHRAN: That finishes our resolutions. At this time if
there is anyone that4 would like to address the Town Board. on any Town
business, we would be very happy to take your comments.
FRANK CARLIN: Frank Carlin from Laurel, ladies and gentlemen of the
Board. Tonight I am going to be talking about taxes. Thirty dollars an
increase in your taxes, twenty dollars, twenty-five dollars, forty dollars,
well, when you look at it like that as a single tax it doesn't mean as much,
but when you add all the numbers together, as an increase in taxes. Are
you listening to me? I want to ask two members here to try and explain
what I mean. I am going to use the Mattituck-Cutchogue School District,
because that is where I live. Assessed value $5,000. You know, that next
year's taxes on that expense of $15,000,000 is going to be $125.00 more in
our taxes. Write that down there. (tape change) Be another $50.00.
Write that down there, another $50.00. Next year's budget comes along.
Alright, the Board comes along with a pool, that is another $30.00, so write
that down. We are up to a $225. in our tax increase. That does not
include what the Town Board increases will be, I mean the Town taxes will
be. I am not including the what increase maybe the State tax will be. That
is only three numbers here. So, you can see when you say, only $30-00,
when you add the other number together it all adds up, and that is out of
$5,000.00 assessed value. Now, you go to $6,000 assessed value you are up
to about $254.00, so I don't need to pay another $30.00 added on to my
taxes for something I ain't going to use for no pool. I will tell you
that right now, because there won't be enough taxes in the future to start
with, and school taxes are never' going to be reduced. Remember that. I
predict the way we are going here the way I showed you these numbers
here in another fourl five, or another two, three years down the road our
STAR Program isn't going to be worth that. We will be back to square one.
We don't need all these extra little $30.00 and $40.00 added to what we
already have to pay.
COUNCILWOMAN HUSSIE: Can I reply again, Mr. Carlin, just to that
one point? I wish you wouldn't get so upset. This little $30.00, 1 am not
saying 'it is a little $30.00. It would be about $30.00 if the whole project
were to go through, but in any event, every voter has to make that
decision. There is going to be a vote on that. That is what the referendum
is about now.
FRANK CARLIN: I am telling you now I ain't waiting for the vote. I
setting my case up now, so people would understand what is going on.
Don't you understand me?
COUNCILWOMAN HUSSIE: I understand that.
FRANK CARLIN: You are making your case. I am making mine.
COUNCILWOMAN HUSSIE: You make it sound like it is fait accompli. It is
not.
JANUARY 19, 1999
FRANK CARLIN: I didn't say it was complete. I said, in the future, didn't
I say that, or adding the $30.00, didn't I say that? Now I want to show
you something else being that you brought that subject up. You said in
the newspaper it will be $30.00, and after 20 years it goes down to $25.00.
That is a ludicrous statement. Do you know what $25.00 is going mean in 25
years down the line? The cost of leaving. .
SUPERVISOR COCHRAN: Frank, I am going to call you out of order in a
minute. Let's not get personal, okay?
FRANK CARLIN: I am not. This is a fact. I am saying what is in the
newspaper.
COUNCILWOMAN HUSSIE: My facts were correct. I would never have
assumed to make such a statement if I didn't have the table from bond
counsel on that amount of money for X number of years. The actual
payment does reduce as you go along. That is the way this particular bond
is proposed.
FRANK CARLIN: You have to wait 25 years? Anyway that is what we are
looking for when we see these little increases come along like this. I am
not saying only you. It could be other things. I am saying it to you.
COUNCILWOMAN HUSSIE: You keep looking at me though.
FRANK CARLIN: Now, one more thing. What ever happened to the
problem that I had on the overweight scale last June at the Landfill being
overweight on small quantities of weight. I am going to address the Board,
not you, Alice Hussie, the Board. Whatever become of that? It has been
seven months.
COUNCILMAN ROMANELLI : At a Board meeting we determined that we
weren't going to get a smaller scale. We were going to deal with the scale
that we had.
FRANK CARLIN: You mean there is still people being overcharged like I
was, a dollar? Every time they go over there, you are still going to let
that _condition exist? You are not going to try to correct it at all? You
are just going to let the thing just go away instead of say like I told you
maybe, as an idea, go up and first fifty pounds, no charge, to be fair
about it. You still lare going to let this continue, and let people go over
that scale, keep going over the scale, and overcharge 18 pounds, 20
pounds, at low quantities of weight. You are not going to correct that
problem? Is that what you are telling me, John?
COUNCILMAN ROMANELLI: Pretty much.
FRANK CARLIN: That's a Board for you. You can't solve a problem like
that. I am disappointed in this Board.
SUPERVISOR COCHRAN: Frank, the scale that we presently use certainly
can't weight such finite amount. We did talk, I believe as we discussed it
in relation to buying a smaller scale. This really isn't feasible.
FRANK CARLIN: I know that, Madam Supervisor. I am not saying that.
You got to do something, what are you doing to correct this problem?
People keep going over that scale and are being charged, $1 .00, $1 .25,
everyone going over with the weight that I had, and not doing anything
about it. That is ludicrous. It is a simple problem. It is not a big
problem.
COUNCILWOMAN HUSSIE: What we did was check out the cost of such a
scale. As I recall, I don't have the numbers in front of me, it was about
$5,000, plus it would need an attendant, which is another $25,000 to
$30,000 plus whatever it is. We are adding up to about $40,000, and the
point is, though, that this is not going to make you feel better, but we
have to make a decision for the best deal for the most people, and I don't
think that the Board felt that the. expenditure of $40,000 a year financially
justifiable.
iANUARY 19, 1999
FRANK CARLIN: I agree with you 1000. It is a lot of money for just a
simple little scale. I mean you don't need a big scale. I can find a scale
in the catalog for $250.00 that accurately weighs, if you really want it.
But, anyway, that is not solving the problem, though, so you can't use a
scale, so what other route are you going to take to correct this problem?
This is what I am saying, correct the problem. How?
SUPERVISOR COCHRAN: I don't have an answer for you. I don't know
about anybody else, but I don't know how we can possible solve it, Frank.
FRANK CARLIN: I still having gotten my dollar back from the town.
SUPERVISOR COCHRAN: I offered to give it to you that last meeting. I
did offer you the dollar, and was not trying to be facetious, Frank. You
know that. I just thought it was in good fun, because it is a problem that
is not easy to solve. We have to evaluate which way to go, and we felt we
would not do it with this.
COUNCILMAN ROMANELLI : If we let everyone in with the first fifty
pounds free, it would end up probably costing more. It would be another
one of those $10.00 items.
FRANK CARLIN: There is some way to do this. You just can't just let the
people keep going over that scale, and being charged a dollar more, and I
only had eighteen pounds, and I was charged over twenty pounds. I only
had eighteen pounds. Why does it go up to fifty pounds? I only had
twenty pounds, and ' I was overcharged eighteen pounds. I am disappointed
in this Board. I will be honest with you.
SUPERVISOR COCHRAN: Frank, you are the only one that has come in with
this complaint, and 'I would like to, if there are others, would they please
come forward, and share with the Board.
FRANK CARLIN: 1 : am the only one who seems to want to speak around
this Town Board. I don't see too many people ever coming up here. Maybe
I am out of place, or maybe I feel that I should say what I want to say. I
am sorry if I do that, but I say it the way it is.
SUPERVISOR COCHRAN: Thank you. I would like to know if there is
anyone in town that feels that they have the same problem. I would like to
know the extent of the problem.
FRANK CARLIN: Maybe I am the only one of 20,000 people who would come
up here, and say things like this. Who knows? Let me ask you one more
question, one more question. You go in a gas station. You order five
gallons of gas. He wants to charge you for ten gallons of gas. You didn't
get five gallons, would you pay for it? That is the same way with me.
SUPERVISOR COCHRAN: It is rhetorical. Are you finished with your
comments? Thank you, Frank. Anyone else like to address the Town
Board? (No comments) If not, I will ask for Board reports. John? Alice?
COUNCILWOMAN HUSSIE: I have a couple of things to say, yes. Two of
them are nice, and one of them isn't so nice. I was very happy to be in
attendance at the Eagle Scout ceremony for Brian Witzke on the 10th of
January. It was very moving. Of course, parades and weddings make me
tear up anyway, and when those little kids were lighting the candles I
really felt great, but I congratulate Brian once more. I also went to the
Martin Luther King celebration, which was sponsored by the Anti-Bias Task
Force. That was Sunday. That was very moving also. I have some
information for those of you who wonder why we are doing the office trailer
up at the landfill. The office trailer was originally part of the transfer
station, the recycling areas renovation and update, but when PERMA came
and said, thou shalt not breathe this air anymore, so we had to do
something about it: We decided to advance the construction, or the
acquisition of an office area. So this office trailer is just in
anticipation of doing some of the other work up there at the recycling
center. I don't want to take up too much time. On Friday, the 15th, I
went to a hearing that was for town officials, and village, from the Long
Island Power Authority, and they were going to be talking about choice. In
JANUARY 19, 1999
other words, you have choices, and you will be able to choose your own
electric company, and electric supplier soon. It is supposed to go into
affect in August of '99. Don't hold your breath. There are only 400
Megawatts available, and when you divide 400 megawatts among all the
people, and all the industries, and all the LIPA customer base, you know
you are not going to get much of anything. But, it was particularly
addressed at town officials, and village officials, so that we would let you
know what was what. But, one of the things that was very interesting is
that it only works for metered customers, and some town officials who
questioned the Highway Department, you know the street lights, and that
sort of thing, those things are not on meters; so they would not be able to
take advantage of this choice operation, and just for those of you who are
curious about what it means to the Town of Southold, the highway lights
are. our biggest electrical expense, and it is a little less than half of our
total $190,000 bill. So, it would have been a big difference had we been
able to take advantage of that, but are pretty far down, as I said to the
Board this morning, we are way down on the food chain. We are not ever
going to get it. Thank you.
SUPERVISOR COCHRAN: Bill?
COUNCILMAN MOORE: I will be real quick. I, too, attended the Eagle
Court of Honor for Brian. It was a great opportunity. Brian knew how
important his day was because everyone remarked they were missing a Jets
playoff game, not yesterday's, but the one before. Unfortunately I
couldn't attend Sunday's Martin Luther King's celebration. I was celebrating
my daughter's birthday. That is always a very moving ceremony, and a
program done through the Anti-Bias Task Force.
COUNCILWOMAN HUSSIE: They were worrying about game, too.
COUNCILMAN MOORE: I wasn't watching the game. I was playing with my
children. In any event, I want to thank our Assessors. We had a very
spirited discussion the other day with regard to the Building permit law
that we passed here to try and simplify life, and the Assessors made it
very clear that in simplifying life for our residents we may have
complicated their lives. While we went around, and around, we had a very
frank discussion. They are going to come back with some more information
for us as far as addressing some of their concerns with regard to making
sure that their property rolls are kept up to snuff. So, I applaud the
Assessors for their spirit, and I hope they applaud me for mine. I will pass
on that Code Committee. I was going to give some stuff to Greg for the
greenhouses. We have a whole agenda list to keep us busy here through
the winter months on different things beyond greenhouse. There is life
beyond greenhouses.
SUPERVISOR COCHRAN: Thank you, William. Brian?
COUNCILMAN MURPHY: The past two weeks we have closed on two
development rights pieces, the Rienhardt piece on Alvah's Lane, and
the Ruland piece on Mill Road and Main Road, Mattituck. The Ruland piece
probably being one of the nicest pieces in town. As we come through town
into just passing the village it kind of starts the farm area, and probably
one of the prettiest vistas in town. So, this has been one of our major
accomplishments in the past few months, and we have three, or four more
pieces that should be coming close to closing in the next month or so.
That is all I have.
SUPERVISOR COCHRAN: Louisa? I would compliment the Land
Preservation Committee. As Brian just shared with you, we did close on
the Ruland piece, which is 64 acres, and it is one of the loveliest farms -in
Southold Town. We have many, but this is one of the loveliest. It is our
bicentennial farm, and it is the corner of Mill Lane, in Mattituck, and runs
up Mill Lane. It is really a lovely piece, and then just a day later we
closed on the Rienhardt piece. How many acres was that, Brian? Brian is
the liaison from the Board to the committee, and the committee deserves a
lot of credit because they do all the foot work and all the ins and outs,
and working with the people, the landowners, and so forth, so on behalf of
the entire Town Board we certainly salute your committee for bringing these
things to a close. I had the pleasure of attending Phoenix Fire Hose
Company in the Greenport for the celebration of two of their members, Mr.
.j.
JANUARY 19, 1999
Hanff, who has served for 52 years, and Sparky Coyle, and we all
know him as Sparky, who has served for 71 years, so we congratulate
both of. the gentlemen for the years of service they have given to the fire
department in Creenport as volunteers. It is a lot of years of volunteerism
between the two 'of them. We have been meeting. We have another meeting
that was cancelled due to the storm, but it is being held in Riverhead.
Our Town Attorney, and our Comptroller, myself, attend with the other
five East End towns; and the County officials, and our attorney, and our
financial people were working through the process as a result of the 2%
Land Preservation Law, which will be in effect very shortly. Our last
meeting we had John Cochrane, Treasurer of Suffolk County there, plus
other people in the area of finance, and we were working out how the
funds are going to come down through the County. So, we will be attending
another meeting soon. I also had the honor of attending the Martin Luther
King service on Sunday, and had the opportunity to present a message on
behalf of the Town Board. It is a very moving. .it is nice. You have all
kinds of people, all races, religions, all joining together, and as I said,
what you see and what you hear you tuck in your heart and take home with
you. Also, I attended the Ten Town Supervisor's meeting. We had a very
interesting program in relation to the Chambers. Dennis Sneadon is head
of 'the Chamber Association. They have forty-two Chambers that have
joined to date. This is a new group. The Chambers have not had an
association before, so they are encouraging all chambers to join. They feel
that some of what is important to the business community, the small
business committee, certainly can be done with strength rather than
individual towns, so I look forward to seeing good things happening there.
Also, the other speaker was from the Suffolk County Economic Development
Office. That is about all I have to share with you at this time. No other
business to come before the Town Board, I will ask for a motion to adjourn?
Moved by Councilman Moore, seconded by Councilwoman Hussie, it was
RESOLVED that this Town Board meeting be and hereby is adjourned at
5:37 P.M.
Vote of the Town Board: Ayes: Councilman Murphy, Councilman
Romanelli, Councilman Moore, Justice Evans, Councilwoman Hussie,
Supervisor Cochran.
This resolution was duly ADOPTED.
