Seminar/Dinner Meeting being sponsored by Dayton T. Brown, Inc., NAASCO
Group on January 4, 1999 from 5:30' P.M. to 7:30 P.M. The topic of discussion
will be "The Pitfalls of Environmental Laws and Zoning Laws". Supervisor
Cochran asked any interested Town Board members to let her know if they wish
to attend.
9:10 A.M.- The Town Board reviewed V1. For Discussion Items: V1.1. Selection
of Yellow Garbage Vendor. Councilman Alice Hussie explained that the one
vendor that came in with the lowest bid is the one that they have been having
problems with all year. Central poly was not acceptable. She recommends
accepting the bid of Resourceful Bag and Tag Company, the second lowest
bidder. (See Resolution No. 34). VI 2. Justice Court Promotion of Theresa
Zimnoski to Senior Clerk Typist. Supervisor Cochran said that she spoke with
Justice price and he wants it to be done. The Board discussed the overall policy
on promotions. Supervisor Cochran recommended that it be sent to the - -
personnel committee. Councilman Moore stated that he thinks there should be
some sort of employee review. Both department heads have recommended the
promotions of the last two individuals: Valerie Meyer, Senior Account Clerk,
Disposal Area; and Theresa Zimnoski, Senior Clerk Typist, Justice Court.
Supervisor Cochran recommends that in the future, it should be given to the
personnel committee to develop a system. However, she stated that she feels
that the Board should move on these two 'at this time and then set-up a new
system for the future. (See Resolution No. 8) The job opening for the position
of Senior Clerk Typist in the Justice Court must be posted and the Civil Service
list must be received before the Board can act on it. VI. 3. North Fork Animal
Welfare League Contract. The Board was all in agreement to give them an
additional $5,000.00 for 1999 and to begin contract negotiations early in 1999
for 2000. (See Resolution No. 35, first resolution of meeting) VI. 4. Request of
John Raynor to attend 911 Critical Issues Forum was held for discussion in
Executive Session - personnel. (See Resolution No. 47) VI. 5. Request from
Receiver of `Taxes Marilyn Quintana for budget items which she states were cut
in her 1999 �udget. This will be held for a budget modification in 1999. V1.6
Reappointments to Zoning Board of Appeals and Planning Board. Councilman
Alice Hussie stated that she doesn't see the need for the appointment of a
Fishers Island resident to these boards. The Board this matter at length. (See
Resolution No. 36 reappointing George Horning to Zoning Board of Appeals; and
Resolution No. 37 reappointing Bennett Orlowski, Jr. to the Planning Board.)
The Board also agreed to placing resolutions on the January 4, 1999
Organizational Meeting agenda for the reappointment of Gerard Goehringer, Jr.
as Chairman of the 'Zoning Board of Appeals, and Bennett Orlowski, Jr. as �.-
Chairman of the Planning Board. VI. 7 Suffolk County Real Property Tax
Service Agency License Agreement. (See Resolution No. 38.) V1.8 Authorization
for additional Dvirka & Bartilucci Services was held for discussion when James.
Bunchuck, Solid Waste Coordinator is present. Items V1.9. Exemptions for
building permits, administrative ' procedures; and VI. 13. Recommended
guidelines for work to be done, Board of Assessors were discussed together.
Councilman Murphy advised that the Assessors have asked that they be notified
of what is going on as far as "Notification of Work Being Done", something that
says "This is what the rules are and, you must stay so many feet off your
property line, etc.". A set of guidelines is what they are looking for. This
idea was presented at the Code Committee, it was brought to the Board and they
said that they didn't think that it was necessary. Building Department Head
DECEMBER 22, 1998
Edward Forrester stated that things that have been falling through the crackV 5
have come to light at the transfer of property , when they do the title search
work. Councilman Moore concurred that the necessity of a Certificate of
Occupancy is discovered at the time of closing. Anything which materially
affects the structure of a house, an addition or a deck would need a C.O.,
fences, . window replacement, or a tool shed, 10'x 10' would not. Councilman
Moore stated that all the Town Board did, in effect, was adopt the New York
State Building Code. Supervisor Cochran stated that they are trying to lighten
the process. Assessor Robert Scott stated that the Assessors must have a
vehicle to assess or reassess upon. He is of the opinion that there should be
some sort of dollar ;limit set, perhaps up to $10,00.00. Supervisor Cochran
appointed a committee to see what track they can work in without adding to the
layer: Edward Forrester, Building Department Head, an Assessor representative,
Councilman Moore, and Councilman Murphy to head this committee. Mr.
Forrester also spoke of the fence definition in the code. Councilman Moore said
that the Code Committee will go back and fix this definition in the Town Code.
Mr. Forrester reported that he was thirty (30) working days behind in the
issuance of permits, but expects to be up-to-date by mid to end of January.
VI. 10. Possible charge for Center for Family Activities Committee 2. (See
Resolution No. 39) V1. 11. Elizabeth Field Airport, Fishers Island,
investigation of complaint - per Justice Evans. Justice Evans advised that she
spoke to Phil Knauff, they have had someone cut the trees and bushes. Also,
the strobe lights weren't going off automatically, so they turned them off. They
should go off after twenty (20) minutes. This also has been taken care of and
they will be turning them on again. VI. 12. East-West Fire Protection
District. Greenport Village granted the Town a thirty (30) day extension.
Councilmen John Romanelli and Brian Murphy will conduct negotiations.
However, they will make no firm decisions unless it comes back to the Town
Board for action. Supervisor Cochran advised the Board that there are going 'to
be many Federal Grants available in the future and she would like the Town
Board to develop a "Wish List" of all areas where they feel we need monies.
10:52 A.M. - The Town Board reviewed Resolution Nos. 1 through 44 to be
voted upon at the regular meeting at 4:30 P.M
11:15 P.M. - Appointment with Peconic Land Trust. Margot Booth and Tim
Caufield appeared before the Board with regard to the "Downs Farm Preserve
Management Plan".Mr. Caufield recapped that the last time they met with regard
to this was in July, so he spoke a little about their accomplishments since
then. The one bid item that was completed was the replacement of the roof on
the main building. Mr. Caufield complimented Jim Grathwohl and Jack McGreevey
on their volunteer work at the preserve. He reported that 4 volunteers worked
2 days in the spring and 2 in the fall. To date, over 500 volunteer working
hours have been put in. At approximately $15.00 per hour, this represents a
savings of over $7,000.00. Mr. Caufield presented the Board with copies of
their 1998 List of Activities and Tasks completed, and their management plan
outline and discussed their budget needs for 1999. The Peconic Land Trust is
asking for $121,000.00 in funding to complete phase I and make it accessible to
the public. Although Supervisor Cochran and the Town Board supports their
concept, neither she., nor the majority of the Board was ready to vote on the
funding. It was suggested that the $121,000.00 be accomplished through
bonding. No firm decision was reached at this time.

V. RESOLUTIONS
SUPERVISOR COCHRAN: As you know, we have resolutions, many of
which are generated during the day, our Work Session. Last night when
you looked at the agenda you said to yourself, golly, it doesn't look too
bad. It is going to be a fast day, and thank goodness, because it is only a
couple of days before the holiday, and maybe we can leave and get home
early, but as our work went through the Town Board today we generated
quite a few additions. It is kind of cleanup time at the end of the year. We
would like to close the year with everything in good order. You may or may
not know, but the Town Board has a policy in relation to addressing the
Town Board. If there is anyone that would like to speak to the Town Board
in relation to any of the resolutions that we will be acting upon we ask
you, please, for you to share that information with us now. You also will
have a period of time at the completion of the meeting to share with the
Board any of the Town business that you would like to make the Town
Board aware of. So, at this time, I would like to ask the Town Board's
permission, I would like to go out of order. Many of you are here in
relation to Resolution #35, 1 believe, so I would like to move that up to be
the first resolution we act on. First I will ask if anyone would like to
speak on resolution 35, which is a one year contract at a $126,000, is what
the Board will be acting on. I don't know if you want to address the
Board prior to the moving of the resolution.
ANNA COSIMANO: My name is Anna Cosimano. I am a resident of
Southold, and also President of the North Fork Animal Welfare League. As
spokesperson for the League I would thank all the people of Southold, who
are here today at this busy time of the year, and those who were going to
be here to support us until we told them not to come, it wasn't necessary.
Our first priority are the animals at Southold Shelter that are in our care.
Recently there has been some tension between the Town and the League, as
you all may know. I am very happy to say the Town Board has agreed to
the proposal we submitted to them last month. I sincerely hope that in the
future, we as a town, can come together to resolve any and all problems
that may arise. I thank all the Town Board for their approval on this
matter, and wish a Happy and Healthy Holiday to all. Thank you
everybody. Merry Christmas.
SUPERVISOR COCHRAN: Thank you, Anna. I think I can relay to you
that the entire Board does support the Animal League. We know that it is a
new group, that you are not necessarily familiar with the process as we go
through the budget, and so on, and so forth. We know how hard you have
been working together to improve things up there, and you have our
support on that. Now, that we know, although this is a one year contract,
don't wait until the month before the contract. I would like to see the
negotiations start .earlier, and maybe we can work towards a three year
contract. That gives us time to put a figure in the budget, come August,
September, while we are working on the Budget. Thank you every one for
coming in.
35.-Moved by Councilman Romanelli, seconded by the Entire Town Board, it was

Romanelli, Councilman Moore, Justice Evans, Councilwoman Hussie,

JIM BITSES: Madam Chairman, may I speak on behalf one of the animals.
Talking about Jack Dempsey, we found Jack Dempsey, he is a hi-bred,
otherwise known as a mutt, near death's door. Took him down to one of the
veterinarians. He bound his wounds, feed him intravenously. Eventually in
examining him carefully he discovered a bullet in his stomach. Somebody
.DECEMBER 22, 1998 3 `I`'r'
shot him. The reason we call him Jack Dempsey was he was on the
canvas, and he is bouncing back. We now have a very fine animal, which
we think can not be adopted probably because who wants a dog that has
been gunshot, even' though he is in perfect health. We offer him to the
town of Southold as very fine animal. Thank you.
SUPERVISOR COCHRAN: Thank you for sharing that with us.

SUPERVISOR COCHRAN: That ends our resolutions and our hearings, and
at this time if there is anyone that would like to address the Town Board
on any Town business we would be very happy to have your input. Mr.
Lizewski?
JOSEPH LIZEWSKI: I would like to wish the' whole Town Board a great
holiday season. I would like to thank you especially from the area of
passing the law that• should be coming into effect soon about allowing people
to have storage buildings, and fences, without going through the
encumbered procedure of building permits. I think that is a law that was
long overdue. I think you are going to find that the people in the town are
going to really enjoy being able to do. It is a very small thing to some of
you, but a very big thing to a lot of people who live in this town to have
their freedom. You 'are going to find that few people use it. You are going
to find there are a: very few problems with it. Those problems that come
about placing fences will still be there. They would have been there if you
had done it with a permit, and I am glad to see you are getting back to
some simplicity of the State law is where that comes from. Most of New York
follows the State Code. What happens is, in all towns as you go through
Building Inspectors, and as you go through different boards everybody
adds something to the State Code, because you can make it more
restrictive, or less restrictive until you get to the point where I think
different people can even interpret, or know what the intent of the Code
has been changed from, or what it has been changed to. I think it is
important sometimes to go back to the very basics, and rebuild from a Code
that can be backed up by the judicial system in New York State. . I want to
thank you for passing 'it from the business community. As I said, have a
good holiday. Thank you very much.
SUPERVISOR COCHRAN: You have a Happy Holiday, also. Is there anyone
else that would like to address the Town Board? (No response.) If not I
will call on the Town Board members for either reports or let's have
comments tonight. I think everyone is kind of anxious to.
COUNCILMAN ROMANELLI: I would just like to wish everyone a Merry
Christmas, and a Happy Holiday.
COUNCILWOMAN HUSSIE: It is not a comment. It is something that I want
to bring to everyone's attention, but it could wait for two weeks, because
it is a festive season, not a time to start with a problem, and then a
problem comes up. I would like to wish everyone a Happy Holiday, and the
Board, too.
COUNCILMAN MOORE: Likewise, I have tons to report, but I will save it
for the first of the year. Happy Holiday everyone, and a safe holiday.
COUNCILMAN MURPHY: I would just like to wish everyone a Happy
Holiday season.
JUSTICE EVANS: I feel like you should be saying, Merry Christmas to
Mom, and to Dad, and Merry Christmas to everybody, and safe New Year.
SUPERVISOR COCHRAN: Betty, we never give you the opportunity.
TOWN CLERK NEVILLE: A very Merry Christmas, and a Happy, Healthy
New Year to everyone.
SUPERVISOR COCHRAN: How about you down there, Greg? Our Town
Attorney?
TOWN ATTORNEY YAKABOSKI : A Happy Holiday, and a safe and happy
New Year.
DECEMBER 22, 1998
SUPERVISOR COCHRAN: I would like to add to that. To each everyone,
Happy Hanukkah, Merry Christmas. I am especially excited because my one
daughter comes home tonight from California, my other one comes Thursday
afternoon from Florida, and it has been a long time since we have had the
whole family together for the holidays, so this is it for Ma. Happy Holidays
everyone, a Health, Prosperous and Cood New Year for the Town of
Southold. Thank you for joining us.
