Supervisor Martocchia:
22. Report from the Chief of Police indicating that there
have been less dog incidents for 1976 and two months of this year.
Mrs. Gladys Csajko -asked why the police cars ran so expensively? .
She gets a figure of $5,106.00 each with the trade-in.---Supervisor
Martocchia explained that the police cars are not. standard passenger
cars, they have automatic trunk openers, oversize engines, larger
generators, larger alternators, different types of tires, they call
it police package.---Councilman Homan stated the cars. are made . to
different specifications, and all the equipment on one car can be
taken off and put on another car.---The unmarked car has air
conditioning.
Mr. James Thompson from the. Southold Senior Citizens stated. that .
the office of the County Executive has made mini buses available .
to theten towns in the county. He understands that nine towns
have accepted the minibuses but Southold refused it. Is. that true?---
Supervisor Martocchia stated it is correct. The offer did come to
Southold like the other towns. If you take a bus you must maintain
it yourself and insure it. He, met with Beatrice Zegzula of CAST who
has one of the mini buses, and they will take anyone shopping or to
medical appointments, but, sh , isn't using.her bus full time; . there-
fore he felt it wrong to take a second bus when the first .one is =not
being utilized..fully; he could always ask for. the bus if there were
a need.---Mr. - Thompson and some of the other members of the senior
citizens present were not aware of the bus.---A representative of
FISH stated they are averaging, 20 to, 30 calls a month. for trans-
portation, why couldn't they have use of a mini bus?---Supervisor
Martocchia stated that they could use the CAST mini bus oh.,the bus
that the nutrition center has for their use. Apparently it_ is not
being publicized enough. (Considerable discussion relative to need
for a mini bus for senior citizens and the hours it should run. )
Supervisor Martocchia asked those present if they felt he should
apply for the bus to the County?---The answer was "yes".---He said
he would give it more study.
Mrs . Gladys Csajko, President of the Council of Allied Associations
of the North Fork Taxpayers Association, Inc. , presented a 12 page

undersigned 'has been authorized to submit the enclosed report to

Pound for the year 1976, based on official Town records and records
of the North Fork Animal Welfare League, Inc.---The Council will
look forward to your comments and reactions in the near future.---
Sincerely, Gladys Csajko, President. "
Mr. Martin Carty, Senior Citizens, Mattituck, asked how much time,
who will use and maintain and support the Senior Citizen-Youth Center
at Peconic?---Supervisor Martocchia stated that there has been an
advisory committee appointed, consisting of senior citizens from
each group, junior high students from each of the schools, citizens
involved in youth in the community to help the town board on matters
