They've all ' been prepared, thanks to our Town Clerk, who's basically got a handle on most of these same resolutions, that we've conducted in previous years with a few minor .variations for this year.

No: Councilman Townsend, Councilman Lizewski This resolution was duly ADOPTED. --COUNCILMAN-TOWNSEND: A point of explanation, Tom. It's my opinion, that both papers should carry the legals of the town. I know that prior to our election it. Was just the Mattituck Traveler, and I took that position then. I think if two papers are published in the town, and have two separate readerships, as in this instance they probably do, I believe they should . both get the .benefit of the legals, and the people should have the benefit of; having legals published in both. It's always been that way, as long as I've been involved in local government, and I think it's a tradition I'd like .to see maintained. That's why I voted against the single designation. SUPERVISOR WICKHAM: Joe, this is the vote on the newspaper issue. Do you want to make a comment? COUNCILMAN LIZEWSKI: I feel that if it's to. go through it should be clear -that, somewhere in writing, that this Board would support the fact that it. would" be done on .an alternating basis, if it did get done that way. Since were not going to put it in writing, I really don't like it just to left up in the air. If it's going to go,to two newspapers next year, that's probably the way it would belong, but I think that unless it's completely 322 TANUARY 3, 1995 COUNCILMAN LIZEWSKI: I feel that if it's to go through it should be clear.. that, somewhere in writing, that this Board ,would support the fact that it would be done on an alternating basis, if it did get done that way. Since we're not going to put it in writing, I really don't like it just to -- ----left--up-in-the--air-.-. If it's going to go to two newspapers next year, that's probably the-way it would belong, but I think that unless it's completely clear that the intent is to make sure that it goes on alternating years, I don't want to support it. SUPERVISOR WICKHAM: I think this is a matter where the Board has two - rather conflicting objectives. On the one hand, there's a clear understanding of the Board to deal equally with the papers. On the other hand, there's also a wish to save $7,000., or $8,000. by designating just one of them, and as you recall, the budget calls for just $7,500. for 1995, and today we wrestled with that question, and have nominated one paper. Two years ago we nominated the other one, the other local papers. 9.- Moved by Councilman Townsend, seconded by Councilwoman Oliva, it was RESOLVED that pursuant to Section 64(1-a) of the Town Law, a petty cash fund is hereby established in the following amounts for the following individuals: Supervisor Thomas Wickham $100.00 Town Clerk Judith T.

This resolution was duly ADOPTED. SUPERVISOR WICKHAM: That completes our agenda for this afternoon. I have. just a couple of comments I'd like to make to the Board, and I'd like to profess them. by saying, that this is the time of year when there are a lot of these State of the Town, and that kind of message. They sound to me rather pontifical in nature, and I'm not sure that we're in for that today. I don't think there's really a need for it. I do think there's a place for me to outline to the Board the direction that I'd like to see us take in the coming year, and I think it's particularly appropriate, since you can see from our Organizational meeting, we're really following pretty much in the same track, that we did in 1994. The appointments are largely the same. The committees are largely the same. The structure is largely the same. What have we learned in 1994, and where are we going in 1995, are some points that I'd like to leave briefly with the Board this afternoon, and I. think the Organizational Meeting is an appropriate time to think about where we've come from, and where we're going. So, in the _ nature _of_1eaving the Board with my notions of where we'd like to go, I'd 332 JANUARY 3, 1995 ......._.Li.ke.-..to__of_f_er__._these-..comments, as a message to the Board. I'd like to begin by reviewing briefly 1994., We began by taking up a number of matters left over frdm the previous year. We concluded that there were no longer benefits to the three year fight over solid waste, and we agreed to a package of practical, detailed measures that deal responsibly with the Town's solid waste. We were ready when Creenport residents decided that we should look after their police protection, and we have done it, so far, at no additional .cost to the Town. These are just a few of things that we've done. We looked after the Town's future. We took up ten of the recommendations of the Stewardship Task Force, and we enacted five of them, including new sign, lighting, fast food, winery and B&B ordinances. We started planning for an improved transportation system, and a TDR program. Most importantly, we moved ahead with open space and farmland initiatives, strongly endorsed by the voters, for additional authority to acquire properties on a voluntary basis. We adopted a budget with a tax increase higher than we wanted, but in the process we instituted new budgetary controls that give this Board the ability to contain spending during the year. From those improvements in our accounting capacity we gained the confidence that tax increases can be capped, as reflected in our recent policy resolution to that effect. These are just some highlights in a busy year. We accomplished actually considerably more that this. I should draw your attention to three features of 1994, that made much of this possible. First is openness in government. We completed an altogether new --proposed--"ethics---code, and we formed new committees, committees on transportation, local taxes, and TDRs to help us address these issues because out time is limited, and there is a wealth of expertise available in the Town. This is professional government and it's cost-effective government. It brings new perspectives to help solve Town problems. The second feature is the stronger management of various offices of Town government. Everyone knows that some offices are highly efficient. I believe that all of us on the Board will be judged by how well managed all of Town government is. We do not have the luxury of a Town Manager or a business manager. Some of the towns, Southampton for example, has a business manager as part of the Town' structure. We don't have that luxury. It is our first responsibility to see that every office of Town government is productive, it's efficient, it's courteous, in a work, that's it's tightly managed. _ The third feature of our government is it's connectedness with other municipalities. We ignore the needs of Creenport Village at our peril. We find ways to unlock open space funds from Suffolk County, if we work hard at it. We take up landfill issues, and possible electric utility issues, jointly with other East End towns not because it's fashionable, but because these issues are far more likely to prosper to benefit the town, if they are taken up jointly, and doing it jointly is cost-effective.. So let me ,turn now to where 1 . think our priorities are for 1995, and I have listed here just three key items. First, we must recognize - that- safeguarding the future of the town is of paramount importance. I do not intend the town to slip into suburban sprawl. Difficult decision lie ahead, difficult in part because we cannot be absolutely certain of the outcomes of the future, but the Board must recognize that there is a high cost in not acting now to preserve the quality of Southold Town. Primarily this means preserving a vigorous agriculture, farms, vineyards, nurseries, and related enterprises, not just for the benefit of of those few families, but because this preservation is so important to the Town's future. We, as a Board, will deal with a number of measures to plan the future of the town in ways that preserve open space, and farmland, while promoting business and residential development in appropriate areas. Much of this will require legislative change, but that will not be enough. We'll continue to press the Board. to enforce our ordinances in a fair and equitable manner. Second, we must continue to search for ways to close our landfills that do not break the ,bank.. The agreement we entered into with the New York State DEC established a framework and a, timetable for closure, a process that could easily cost ten million dollars, a sum equal to total annual taxes. It is absolutely essential that we continue to explore less costly ways to close landfills, while maintaining the cleanliness of groundwater, and I have no doubt that there are. ways to do that, that can be done, maintaining that cleanliness in the environmental protection, and yet come in for substantially less cost than in what all of those reg'Lilations currently call for.-- Thirdly-,--we-will review and budget Town business in 1995 against the mandate we accepted last week, and that mandate is to stop the growth in taxes, in real terms. We can do this mainly by managing Town offices more tightly. It will take more time. The progress will be hard to measure, but JANUARY 3, 1995 333 .we made a beginning, and we made a commitment. More remains to be done. We. now know. where the improvements need to be made from this last year. Knowing that,` it's time to act on them decisively. I hope the Board can do all of this, and more, in the spirit of bipartisanship and consensus that characterized our deliberations in 1994, but I should point out that the search for consensus will not deflect my commitment to these objectives. I hope that we can continue to enjoy dealing with each other and with important 'issues. I hope we can continue to attract people with little previous involvement with Town government to contribute their talents towards solving these . problems. That's briefly where I'm coming, and I hope that it will be a continuing enjoyment. As I ' look back on my last few year, enjoyment, you have to have some fun, and some enjoyment in the business, - and I hope we can continue to do that. That's briefly what I have to say. If there are any comments, I'd be happy to have that. If now, we're ready to adjourn. Moved by Supervisor Wickham, seconded by Councilwoman Oliva, it was RESOLVED that' the Town Board meeting be and hereby is adjourned at 5:15 P.M. Judith T. Terry Southold Town Clerk
