Town Board members were left to consider that question put them by Supervisor Gerry Siller at the June 2 Town Board work session in relation to the Water Advisory Committee’s Ground and Surface Water Plan.
Someone needs to own this, said Councilman Mike Bebon, chairman of the Water Advisory Committee (WAC).

Volunteer committee members have given a lot of time and energy to creating the plan, but there’s a need for a professional to move it forward.
Town preps for federal coronavirus relief funds and assistance (Reporter file photo)
The Shelter Island Town Board took a first step Friday toward obtaining funds from the federal Corona Virus Relief Program, moving quickly to set in motion its application.
It’s currently unknown what money might be available to the town for expenses incurred in conjunction with services it’s had to implement to deal with the pandemic. But it’s assumed that when the town learns specifics about what money it might receive, there would be a short period in which to apply. Rather than wait for more details, it’s authorized Supervisor Gerry Siller to apply for and accept any federal grants or assistance.
