Regular Town Board Meeting
January 4 , 1993
Mr . Hogan said we can also pass along our comments ; have been
offering input ; bottom line is that the State will do what they
wish to do . Mr . Reitz said it will be a major impact ; school
buses , emergency vehicles . Have discussed the speed limit ;
perhaps it will be reduced to 30mph .
Bill Holtkamp said he is hoping to develop the Cayuga Inn
property
and has talked to the Health Dept . about4 water and septic .
Proposes to put in three building units ; one duplex and two
singles , in stages . Use for tourists during the summer and
students in the winter . Have talked to Alex Rachuu about the
n umber of bedrooms .
Mr . Reitz asked if Mr . Holtkamg was thinking about a modified
PUD ; you already have one on the books . Mr . Hultkamp said the , .
o ne on the books is about four years old . Mrs . Georgia said she
believed Mr . Rachun said to amend the PUD . Mr . Hogan said that
Mr . Uoltkamp should get all his information together and submit
it to the Town Board and it will be passed on .
Youth - data Rogers Distributed agenda of presentation ( see
attached ) . Seth Jenkins said that they would like to check and
make sure that everyone is operating with the same ideas ; with
what we think you want from us . Ms Jenkins reviewed the
Authority , Purpose and Responsibilities as stated in the
Operating Guidelines ( attached ) . We would like to discuss
Membership with you further .
Mr . Rogers said that now we have a membership of seven members .
Have two advisory positions . We are suggesting that we add two
✓ oting positions . . . one would be a youth representative ( appointed
by the school and approved by us and the Town Board ) would also
like a voting member to be from the Village / County Board rep . or
the Town / County Board rep . ; would alternate the terms ," so that
o ne would vote one year and the other would be advisory and' then
the next year switch it around . Would like Than approval on
adding these two reps and giving voting status alternately .
Mr . Reitz said he did bring this forward at a previous Town Board
meeting . One of the Board members asked if both the '
Village / County rep and Town / County rep couldn ' t vote . Original
seven members was under State law ; that has now been altered or
modified .
Brief discussion ensued . Mr . Rogers said that having more voting
members would mean having a larger quorum .
Mr . Reitz moved that the Town Board of the Town of Ulysses accept
the Joint Youth Commission ' s membership increase for one youth
member and one municipal representative alternating proposal for
increased membership to the Joint Youth Commission .
Mrs . Stover seconded the motion so that discussion could take
place ; .
Discussion took place regarding the quorum . Mr . Hogan suggested
leaving it up to the Commission . Mr . Reitz saidfit needs to be
decided upon because it means a change in the by - laws and the by -
laws are constituted by the municipality only , Mr . Weatherby
suggested " up to ten members " . Mr . Reitz said that each of the
members has to be identified. Mr . Reitz withdrew his motion .
Mr . Reitz moved that the Town of Ulysses approve a by - law
e xchange to allow for up to ten ( 10 ) voting members on the Joint
Youth Commission membership to remain as defined in the present
by - laws , amended to also increase one youth member , two municipal
✓ epresentatives as voting members . Seconded by Mr . Weatherby .

The Joint Youth Commission of Trumansburg and Ulysses took on the
task of assessing the quality and quantity of youth programs in the
area . They also wanted to determine what could or should the
Trumansburg / Ulysses area do in terms of planning , funding , and
supporting programs and activities for its youth . Commission
members felt it was as important to hear from local youth as it was
from parents / teachers / community leaders and all concerned citizens
about priorities and needs .
The Commission used several ways to gather information . First they
surveyed high school and middle school youth . 384 out of 455
middle school . youth ( 84 % ) responded to the survey . 284 out of 396
high school youth ( 71 % ) responded to the survey . The Commission
also surveyed parents of elementary school youth ; 65 parents
responded .
In addition to the surveys the Commission held a community forum
to address the current and future directions of local youth
planning . This report contains an analysis of the information
collected . If you have questions about any of this information
please contact any Commission member . ( Commission members names and
phone numbers are listed on the back of this report . )
The information collected revealed a desire for services in the
following areas : ( This list is in no particular order )
♦ Local facilities such as pool /movie theater / community
center .
♦ Increased programs that relate to youth employment and job
readiness skills . .
♦ Increased recreational opportunities for youth in the
evenings , particularly on the weekends and during the summers .
♦ Better public transportation services .
♦ Better services for working parent families such as
increased after school programs and full day summer programs .
♦ The need to assure that Town of Ulysses youth who attend the
Ithaca Schools have fair access to youth programs .
♦ A community resource directory .
♦ Programs for families .
♦ Youth service programs that deal with issues of sexuality ,
• family skills , how to be popular , and the police and court system .
