Mr. Boggs moved to open the hearing at 7:06pm. This was seconded by Ms. Bouchard and passed
unanimously.
Ms. Olson asked whether anyone online or in person wished to address the board. No one
responded.
Ms. Liddle asked the town to reconsider adding the water well testing $17,000 back into the budget.
(See comments attached).

Mr. Bouchard moved to close the hearing at 7:20pm. This was seconded by Mr. Goldman and passed
unanimously.
OLD BUSINESS:
2025 BUDGET
Mr. Goldman gave an update on the meeting with MRB Group on why a GEIS was not part of their
original scope/bid for the Comp Plan consultant. His takeaway from that meeting was that MRB
didn’t believe that a GEIS was needed.
Ms. Weatherby clarified differences in impact statements. She noted that it was DEC’s
recommendation (as well as the Attorney for the Town) that a GEIS be done with a comp plan. She
suggests it also because it will help determine whether the goals of the plan will have a positive or
negative environmental impact and show that the town did its due diligence.
The board discussed and decided to not put the expenditure in the budget but rather take it out of
fund balance if needed.
The board further discussed sales tax and EMS, and neighboring municipalities who also need to
override the tax cap this year.

Moved: Ms. Olson Seconded: Mr. Goldman
Mr. Boggs shared a statement regarding his concerns (see attached).
Ms. Olson responded that the town will not pay for any part of the parking lot that is not
theirs.
Olson aye
Boggs nay
Bouchard aye
Goldman aye
Weatherby aye
Vote: 4-1
Date Adopted: 10/22/24
Ms. Olson thanked Ms. Taetzsch for her work.
PARKING LOT UPDATE:
Ms. Olson said that she met with project engineers and building neighbors who were told that they
could negotiate with the same engineer at their own cost or just pave their areas on their own. The
Town will move forward with its own paving regardless of what neighboring properties decide. A
Special Meeting may need to be scheduled in order to approve the design to put it out to bid.
BRINE STORAGE UPDATE:
Ms. Olson updated the board on a prior meeting where CLEAN (Cayuga Lake Environmental Action
Now) suggested that the town could impose its zoning laws on Cargill’s brine storage facilities. Cargill
has been in contract with NYS since the 1920s. Based on legal counsel, the town does not have
jurisdiction to apply its zoning laws to governments above it (NYS) but is concerned about brine
seepage. The Town Board could submit a letter to DEC.
NEW BUSINESS
TAX EXEMPTIONS:
Tompkins County has increased thresholds for tax exemptions for seniors and veterans. The town can
parallel the same exemptions amounts if desired. This would need to be passed in the spring to be
active for 2026 budget.

APPENDIX:
COMMENTS FROM MS. MARINO:
Thank you. My name is Roxanne Marino, I am a former Town Board member and Town Supervisor,
and currently the chair of our Conservation and Sustainability Advisory Council and a member of the
Comp Plan Update Steering Committee (CPSC).
I appreciate the work that has gone into this budget, and the detail the Board has presented to the
public, and thank the Town Board and staff. I want to speak to a concern with one large
appropriation item added very recently and without what I feel is adequate vetting of the need and
cost-benefit in what the Board has characterized a tight budget year.
$37,000 was added to the B fund in the budget at the last Town Board meeting, to include a generic
Environmental Impact Statement as part of the Comprehensive Plan update. Generic EIS’s can be
prepared for comprehensive and other resource management plans, but are not necessary.
While this might be reasonable as an approach from a best-case planning perspective for the town, if
we had the resources, it is not clear that for our town, with limited area for extensive future
development, that the benefits on the 10-year horizon they are being justified for are worth the costs
in this budget year with its many pressing demands.
I have concerns about the process used to bring this forward both to the CPSC and the Town Board
for consideration, and the resulting lack of time to gather information on the specific advantages and
adequately hear and address potential concerns.
During the RFQ process for seeking consultants, and then evaluating the responses (we got 2), a GEIS
was not raised as an important component of the scope of work. In fact, the consultant selected
specified a different SEQR process often used by municipalities. They quoted an additional cost (now
$37,000) for a generic EIS. The other consultant included a GEIS in their scope of work, for within
$2,000 of the budget proposed by the selected consultant (without the GEIS). The importance of a
GEIS as a component of the scope of work for the CP update was never raised during the evaluation
of the two bids.
There was too little transparency in the process of introducing this added work item and cost to both
the CPSC and the Town Board. The quote for the services for a GEIS and resolution to support it was
added to the CPSC meeting on 10/2 by email, 40 minutes before the meeting was to start (at 5:30, on
a workday). It was dated 9/24, but the committee did not receive it for more than a week, severely
limiting our ability to be prepared for the discussion.
At the Town Board meeting the evening of 9/24, the Tentative 2025 budget was on the agenda and
was presented by the budget officer. Concerns were raised regarding the level of total expenditures
necessary and the related projected tax increase. Both the draft budget and the Comp Plan were
agenda items and yet this potential change in scope to the CP and $37,000 budget addition was not
put forward for consideration to the Board or to pass on to the CPSC.
8
One major justification the CPSC and then the Board heard for the potential large savings into the
future with a GEIS is the likelihood of several necessary culvert upgrades throughout the town over
the next 10 or more years. However, we can’t really know what a particular culvert project is going to
be with regard to sizing, etc, since we don’t have a climate vulnerability assessment and plan
projecting the range of environmental conditions into the future. As such, supplemental EIS’s will
very likely be needed for each individual culvert project.
I suggest that the Board consider that we can do a climate vulnerability assessment, and a climate
adaptation plan with the assistance of the Climate Smart Communities program locally along. We can
also apply for funds in the CSC program specifically for developing those analyses and plans, which
can include capital projects such as culverts to reduce the risks of flooding and increase safe routing
of water from sensitive areas and infrastructures. We could include as part of that plan a GEIS, with
far more specificity on the potential location and needed characteristics of culverts in the future.
I urge the Board to rethink inclusion of $37,000 in this budget for an item with little certainty of the
scale savings into the future, and use funds for actions more likely to benefit taxpayers now.
COMMENTS FROM MS. LIDDLE:
Two points -
1. Thanks to the town board for supporting a coummunity education and outreach program on water
wells. This is an important step toward improving well water quality. I would like the town to
reconsider adding 17K for Well Water testing to the 2025 budget. Thanks to a NYS DOH 2024
program the town has been able to test 50 water wells in the TOU. The DOH agreed to test 25 wells in
the town and based on the results of those tests determined it would be advantageous to test an
additional 25. This was completed in September. The WSPP Committee just received preliminary test
summary validating the issues found in the first set of tests and confirmed additional testing would
be beneficial.
For example - They found coliform in 62% of the 50 wells. The State average is around 40%. Of those
62%, 36% were positive for E.coli. They usually don’t us see that much E. coli either.
In summary, out of the 50 wells, 92% had at least one exceedance, 36 wells had at least 2
exceedances, that is over half of them.
I believe these issues are serious enough for the town to prepare to support more widespread testing
focused on the areas of concern identified by the DOH testing. We may be able to find additional
funding to cover this but we don't know that now. What would we do if we were not able to find
outside funding.
2. My second point - is that I question the allocation of budget dollars for Environmental Impact
Studies on Comprehensive Plan projects that may or may not get funded or be necessary in the next
10 years. I am a big believer in long term planning but not long term funding, This is a very tight
budget - I believe it makes sense that all the costs associated with a project be deferred to when the
9
project is ready to be implemented - when budgets are different, when we have a more concrete
project plan. If you do this - Then you can deploy 2025 funds on short term problems you know you
have - like water quality/safety.
COMMENTS FROM MR. BOGGS:
I have reservations about the proposed 2025 budget and the budget preparation process
that prevent my voting in favor of its adoption.
The budget incorporates a series of compromises about what to fund and what not to fund. We
cannot have it all. The board needs to ask some hard questions and make difficult decisions about
what to include in the budget based on thorough analysis, open discussion and sound evidence, not
on last minute submissions and changes in a project proposal that leave inadequate time for the
proper conduct of our fiduciary responsibilities.
The 2025 budget is structurally unsound. It relies on near historic tax increase of 5% and makes
excessive use of fund balances and questionable shifting the expenses between funds. We're using a
disproportionate share of fund balance to balance the budget. How will we stop or even slow the
process for the next budget period in 2026? We do not have a plan for that.
Budget officer seems to share some of these misgivings. In several areas of the budget she queries
there verify comfort with level of appropriation or consider sustainability.
Consider the following: we have had large increases in highway department salaries that alone take
up all available tax cap space.
Trumansburg Village continues its multi-year shift of the financial burden of the ambulance service to
the town to balance its own budget.
Insurance costs have risen 14%. Information technology costs are spiral spiraling upward, with no
signs of slowing down. All these increases are occurring without the board taking a hard look at cost
containment without adequate discussion and negotiations over alternatives. These costs will
continue to rise unless you start asking hard questions and making difficult choices.
Proposals for assistance, prep and preparing the comprehensive plan:
We've received 2 proposals for preparation of the comprehensive plan. The 2 proposals were never
presented for full discussion and vetting to the Town Board. Rather the Comprehensive Plan Steering
Committee reviewed and passed the recommendation to the Town Board. Proposal by the MRB
Group was accepted. The rejected proposal, CRRC, at a $110,005 had included a generic
environmental impact statement in its scope. Original MRB Group proposal did not.
For the October 8th meeting the Budget Committee added $37,000 above the existing $109,750
contract to the budget to pay MRB for a GEIS as part of its comprehensive plan support.
$37,000 was added to the budget after budget submission deadline passed.
In addition, violating procedural rules of the late submission, with obscure supporting statements did
not and has not allowed adequate time for discussion and proper vetting.
10
Proposal was prepared to the presented to the comprehensive Plan Steering Committee half an hour
before the committee's meeting. Ambiguous statements were presented to support the additional
funding, and less than half the CPSC members voted in favor of the funding.
Town legal aka, the attorney, saying, okay, does not constitute a valid argument in support of that
funding.
Statements that claim anticipated savings of future projects by avoiding the need for individual
project GEIS are highly suspect. In my tenure on the board there has been no large projects requiring
an EIS for which a GEIS would have been adequate substitute. In the spirit of open government, an
EIS should be completed for any project large enough to require one.
MRB stated that “Our environmental team will execute the preferred method of environmental
review necessary to advance comprehensive plan adoption.” They also stated that it should be noted
that comprehensive plans containing recommendations that would trigger a positive declaration and
hence an environmental impact statement are highly unusual.”
The well testing proposal and parking lot paving proposal:
The proposal for well testing it's formally submitted for inclusion in the 2025 under the COVID relief
program funding proposal was submitted before the budget submission deadline, and subjected to
extensive vetting.
Yet the well testing proposal and other proposals submitted for funding under the COVID Relief
program were cut at the 11th hour in favor of an $80,000 proposal for project management of a
construction project for the parking lot, most of which we do not even own.
This switch was presented to the board after detailed selection, matrix and voting exercises that
selected the items we collectively chose as an urgent matter, and passed with limited discussion and
minimal review. They promised to add it well testing to the 2025 budget has now been rescinded.
Much of the budget development process is undertaken by the Budget Committee without proper
public scrutiny. As I had argued before, the Budget Committee's deliberations do not follow sound
open government principles.
Committee has a shadowy presence. The committee is not listed under official Town Board
committees on the Town Web page and its discussions are cloaked in secrecy.
Committee minutes, if published, are not accessible to the public.
Budget discussions by the Board have also been deficient. In place of constructive dialogue,
questions during budget board budget discussions have been met with resistance and evasion while
favored initiatives have been treated as untouchable, vitally necessary.
If there were any cost containment discussions they did not take place in open sessions.
For the reasons stated, I must vote nay in the 2025 budget as proposed.
