Cross, Fire Supt. Tamborelle, Police Chief Boyce, Ass’t. Supt. Frisbie, Attorney Tyler, Treasurer Silber, Judge Glenn Galbreath Absent: Trustees Kaplan and Staley Others: Anita Watkins, Don Campbell, Mindy Mindlin Mayor Lynn opened the Public Hearing at 7:00 PM to hear comments on proposed Local Law #1 of 2008 entitled “Local Law to Prohibit Illicit Discharges, Activities and Connections to Separate Storm Sewer System.” Supt. Cross gave an introduction on the aspects of the law. In December of 2007 a storm water law was passed by the Village to regulate pre and post construction activities. This proposed law is targeted towards the operation of facilities. Supt. Cross asked the audience if there were any comments or questions. Anita Watkins asked if this law came out of a particular incident or is it mandated by the State. Supt. Cross answered that it is a State mandate. Trustee Mount asked how the Village provides protection as to such public hazards. Is the Village obligated to do so? Supt. Cross said that the Village is obligated by passing the storm water law that was passed in December 2007. The Village also is a member of the Storm water Coalition, and part of that groups charge is to satisfy advertisement needs on this issue. There being no other questions, the Public Hearing was closed at 7:07 P.M. There was no resolution prepared for the Board to pass at this meeting. A short form SEQR may be needed. The Village Clerk’s office has copies of this proposed law and will receive written comments on it until March 31. Mayor Lynn then opened the regular meeting of the Board. He said that a revised draft agenda was distributed on pink paper and asked for approval of the draft agenda. Motion by Trustee Bisogni Seconded by Trustee Antil Motion to pass Agenda as revised. Trustees Antil, Bisogni, Collyer and Mount voted YES. Mayor Lynn asked for a motion to approve the minutes of February 19. Motion by Trustee Bisogni Seconded by Trustee Antil Trustee Antil commented that in the minutes that were just approved, Attorney Tyler said, when addressing David Donner’s concerns about why the Courier didn’t list the candidates running for election or make any comments on the election, that he (Tyler) advised Trustee Mount not to make any mention other than the fact that the election was contested. Trustee Mount asked why Atty. Tyler said that he couldn’t remember what he told Trustee Mount 2 when asked by the Ithaca Journal. Atty. Tyler said that the Ithaca Journal had asked him about a conversation with Trustee Mount earlier (in January). Mr. Donner’s interchange with Atty. Tyler during the February 19, 2008 Trustee meeting was what the minutes were reporting. Trustee Antil felt that Atty. Tyler owed Trustee Mount an apology. Mayor Lynn said that he also felt that The Courier should say nothing that referred to a contested election and that The Courier should stand mute. Treasurer Silber requested that under “Report of the Treasurer”, it was noted that his report was distributed and is on file. Mayor Lynn, Trustees Antil, Bisogni, and Mount voted YES to Resolution 6321 approving the minutes of February 19, 2008 with corrections noted. Trustee Collyer ABSTAINS. Mayor Lynn asked for Board approval of the minutes of the Board’s Budget Workshop of March 8, 2008. Motion by Trustee Antil Seconded by Trustee Collyer Motion to pass Resolution 6322 approving the minutes of March 8, 2008 Budget Workshop. Trustees Antil, Bisogni, Collyer and Mount voted YES. ************************************************************************* The Department Annual Reports distributed to the Board were presented. Judge Galbreath presented the Court Annual Report. Outlining some points in the report, the Judge said that a grant was received to provide the recorder device which is now in use. Another grant request was submitted last August to have the floor in the Village hall raised so that it meets the Court room floor, making the Courtroom handicap accessible. A decision will not be made on this until May. The Office of Court Administration gave the Court a fax/scanner/printer. The Trustees asked various questions about money amounts/types of fines that were listed in the report. Treasurer Silber reported that the Village kept $36,560 from the State, which was just under half of what was collected in fines. Fire Supt. Tamborelle presented the Fire Department’s Annual Report. It was a busy year full of training and running calls. Cayuga Heights Fire Dept. responded to 122 mutual aid calls, of which 90 were to the City of Ithaca. Police Chief Boyce presented the Police Department’s Annual Report. There has been a lot of time spent on preparation for cases, which has gone up significantly. More detail is needed in case preparation, which leads to less patrol time. ************************************************************************* Report of the Police Chief - Chief Boyce presented his monthly report which is on file. The County had burglaries which spilled into Cayuga Heights. Some of the individuals involved in the County burglaries have been tied to the Village burglaries. There is a new electronic ticket program now in use in the Village and throughout the County…TRACS. This system with its ease of use is accounting for many more tickets being issued by the 3 officers. Mayor Lynn asked if the TRACS reporting can show the speed being fined at in the monthly report given to the Board. Chief Boyce will investigate. ************************************************************************* Report of the Fire Supt. – Supt. Tamborelle presented his report which is on file. The month of February started busy with a chimney fire, a car into a house (due to mechanical problems with the car), and the never-ending ice storms. The new County radio system is moving forward with radios nearing distribution to the individual departments. The Fire Department elections are set for April 6, and the Board will be asked to approve the slate at the organizational meeting on April 7. Because of the timing of the elections, the slate will not be included in the Board packets, but will be distributed at the April 7 meeting. The Fire Department banquet is scheduled for April 26 at the Country Club on Pleasant Grove Road. *********************************************************************** Report of the Ass’t. Supt. of Public Works – Report was distributed and is on file. The chipper is being used for clean-up from the ice storms. Residents were asking for special brush pickups, so the chipper is going out whenever time permits. The DPW now has internet access with Village email thanks to Treasurer Silber who installed the software. Each employee has his own email login information onto the internet. *********************************************************************** Report of the Mayor - Mayor Lynn commented on the letter from James N. Tedisco, New York State Assembly Minority Leader that was included in the Board packets regarding a proposed real property tax cap for New York State. He asked that the Board look at the letter, and it would be discussed at another time. The Mayor reported that Z.B.A. Chairman Robin Cisne resigned effective immediately due to moving outside of the Village. She has done a superb job in her years as Chairman and will be sorely missed. The Mayor will find another member to Chair the committee. The Mayor just received the cd’s for Planning Board and Z.B.A. training entitled “Land Use Training Program” distributed by New York State Municipal Insurance Reciprocal (NYMIR). All Trustees and Z.B.A. members will receive a copy, which will go towards their 4 hours of mandatory training per year. Mayor Lynn asked Treasurer Silber to give an overview on the Bond Resolution for Phosphorous Treatment Improvements at the Wastewater Treatment Plant that needs to be passed by a super majority of the Board of Trustees. The Village will receive a grant of approximately $1 million from the State for this project. The estimated project cost is $260 million. Some sewer fund balance will be used, but the Village will still need to borrow the $1 million. A legal resolution has been prepared by bond counsel. A bond resolution is usually subject to permissive referendum; however, in the law there are certain cases where it is not subject to referendum. The Village is currently operating under a consent order which makes the resolution not subject to the referendum. The Village is mandated by the State to improve our Phosphorous treatment plant. The bond resolution needs to pass by a super majority of the Board (2/3 of full voting strength). A Type II SEQR determination has been done. (Resolution 6318 passed in February determined this to be a Type II action.) 4 Motion by Trustee Antil Seconded by Trustee Bisogni Motion to pass Resolution 6353 authorizing the issuance of $1,000,000 Bonds of the Village of Cayuga Heights, Tompkins County, New York, to pay the cost of Phosphorous Treatment Improvements at the Cayuga Heights Waste Water Treatment Plant in and for said Village.

A RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING THE ISSUANCE OF $1,000,000 BONDS OF THE VILLAGE OF CAYUGA HEIGHTS, TOMPKINS COUNTY, NEW YORK, TO PAY THE COST OF PHOSPHOROUS TREATMENT IMPROVEMENTS AT THE CAYUGA HEIGHTS WASTE WATER TREATMENT PLANT IN AND FOR SAID VILLAGE. Specific object or purpose: Phosphorous treatment improvements at Cayuga Heights Waste Water Treatment Plant Period of probable usefulness: 40 Years 7 Maximum estimated cost: 2,650,210 Amount of obligations to be issued: $1,000,000 bonds; $1,650,210 grants-in-aid and other available funds At this point, Supt. Cross presented his report, beginning with the resolution accepting trucked in drill water at the Wastewater Treatment Plant from Yaws Environmental. This was previously discussed at the February 19 board meeting. A copy of a draft agreement between Yaws Environmental and the Village was distributed. There were two blank spaces in #2 of the agreement. Supt. Cross inserted 4.5 cents for the amount the Village will pay per gallon of water delivered to the Village’s wastewater treatment plant. The number of gallons that Yaws agrees not to exceed within any 24 hour period was discussed. Supt. Cross thought that Yaws should decide the number on a daily basis, but Atty. Tyler said that Supt. Cross should come up with a number protect the Village and insert into the agreement. A question was raised as to where the analytical data referred to in paragraph 5 is kept. Supt. Cross said that he has the test data and will keep testing the water. Motion by Trustee Bisogni Seconded by Trustee Antil Motion to pass Resolution 6324 approving the agreement to accept into its wastewater treatment plant the water being delivered pursuant to the said contract between D.C Rauscher, Inc., and Yaws with the “limitation gallon number” provided by the Engineer and approved by the Mayor. Trustees Antil, Bisogni, Collyer and Mount voted YES. Phosphorous Treatment Improvements at the Wastewater Treatment Plant – The following has been done in reference to this project---- NYSDEC will give the Village $1.02 million in grant money; The Village has submitted the application; The Village has submitted the engineering report by Stearns and Wheler; Stearns and Wheler has prepared the plans and specs; The Village has entered into a contract with the DEC which delineates under what terms they will give us the money; The final step is the Village’s commitment to the DEC for them to give the Village the $1.2 million. A copy of the municipal resolution was distributed. The only change was the addition of the words “as follows” in the “therefore” clause. Motion by Trustee Collyer Seconded by Trustee Mount Motion to pass Resolution 6325 authorizing the items listed below pursuant to the Bond Acts enacted in 1965, 1972 and 1996 and the Environmental Protection Fund, as well as federal grant awards available for such projects. WHEREAS, The Village of Cayuga Heights, herein called the "Municipality", after thorough consideration of the various aspects of the problem and study of available 8 data, has hereby determined that certain work, as described in its application and attachments, herein called the "Project", is desirable, is in the public interest, and is required in order to implement the Project; and WHEREAS, the Environmental Conservation Law (“ECL”) authorizes State assistance to municipalities for water quality improvement projects by means of a contract and the Municipality deems it to be in the public interest and benefit under this law to enter into a contract therewith; NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES, AS FOLLOWS: 1. That the MAYOR, or such person’s successor in office, is the representative authorized to act in behalf of the Municipality's governing body in all matters related to State assistance under ECL Articles 17, 51 and 56 and/or any applicable federal grant provisions. The representative is also authorized to make application, execute the State Assistance Contract, submit Project documentation, and otherwise act for the Municipality's governing body in all matters related to the Project and to State assistance; 2. That the Municipality agrees that it will fund its portion of the cost of the Project and that funds will be available to initiate the Project's field work within twelve (12) months of written approval of its application by the Department of Environmental Conservation; 3. That one (1) certified copy of this Resolution be prepared and sent to the Albany office of the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation 4. That this Resolution take effect immediately. Trustees Antil, Bisogni, Collyer and Mount voted YES. Trustee Antil left the meeting at this time (8:50 PM). Supt. Cross presented to the Board a “sole source” provider resolution for the use of the cloth disc filter system for the wastewater treatment plant and explained the background for this resolution. Before Stearns & Wheler designed the new phosphorus removal project, they studied several technologies. A cloth disk filter system by Aqua Aerobics was determined to be the best technology for our application. A small scale pilot study was done to verify the performance, which was successful. Therefore, Stearns & Wheler designed the new phosphorus filtration project around the Aqua Aerobics system. Now that 2 years have passed since the original discussions with Aqua Aerobics, the price that they will be quoting to the bidders has gone up to about $600,000. In an effort to reduce the cost (to the bidders), Aqua Aerobics is willing to commit to a lower their price by about $50,000 if they are specified as a “sole source” provider in the contract documents. Since NYS Law requires that governments allow bidders to offer “or equal” systems, the Village needs to pass a resolution that explains why we will not accept bids with filter systems by other vendors. The basis for the “sole source” contract is that the entire structure of the project is designed around the physical features of the Aqua 9 Aerobics system and the use of any other system would require that the whole project to be re-designed. This would increase the project cost substantially. Treasurer Silber asked why the cost went up 20% in a year. Supt. Cross explained that system is mostly made of steel and steel prices have increase substantially over the past year. Supt. Cross reported that Stearns and Wheler engineers ha developed a suggestion that might further reduce the cost of the project. The following resolution was distributed for the trustees to consideration. Motion by Trustee Bisogni Seconded by Trustee Collyer Motion to pass Resolution 6326 authorizing Stearns and Wheler to specify Aqua Aerobics, Inc. as the sole provider of the cloth disc filter system WHEREAS, the Village of Cayuga Heights is required by State regulatory agencies to construct an effluent filtration system to remove additional phosphorous at its wastewater treatment plant; and WHEREAS, the cloth disc filter system manufactured by Aqua Aerobics, Inc. has been tested and accepted as a technology; and WHEREAS, other systems considered were not physically compatible with the design of the wastewater treatment plant improvements; and WHEREAS, for reasons of efficiency and economy it is the Village’s best interest to sole source and negotiate a cost for supply of this system with Aqua Aerobics, Inc.; therefore, BE IT RESOLVED, that the Village of Cayuga Heights authorizes Stearns & Wheler, LLC to specify Aqua Aerobics, Inc. as the sole provider of the cloth disc filter system and to assist the Village with negotiations for the cost of the equipment. Such negotiated price shall be stipulated in the Contract Documents for the phosphorous removal upgrade project for the wastewater treatment plant. Mayor Lynn, Trustees Bisogni, and Collyer Voted YES Trustee Mount ABSTAINS The resolution failed to pass with 3 trustees voting YES and one voting ABSTENTION. The last resolution on the Phosphorous Treatment project was to accept the drawings from Stearns and Wheler. A resolution was distributed for the trustee’s approval. Motion by Trustee Bisogni Seconded by Trustee Collyer 10 Motion to pass Resolution 6326 accepting the construction drawings for the Phosphorous Treatment Project at the WWTP and authorize Stearns & Wheler Engineers to publicly advertise and seek bids. Mayor Lynn, Trustees Bisogni, Collyer, and Mount voted YES. Further discussion to clarify the purpose of the failed resolution on the cloth disc filter system resulted in a revote. Motion by Trustee Bisogni Seconded by Trustee Collyer Motion to pass Resolution 6326 authorizing Stearns and Wheler to specify Aqua Aerobics, Inc. as the sole provider of the cloth disc filter system. Mayor Lynn, Trustees Bisogni, Collyer, and Mount voted YES. ********************* Supt. Cross commented that as Building Commissioner and Code Officer, he needs 24 hours of training/year. He belongs to the Southern Municipal Building Officials organization, which is working hard to get the legislature to reintroduce funding for code enforcement for Villages. Money that was previously given out to communities to help with code enforcement is no longer given to communities. Last year a bill came before the State legislature to change that. The issue will come up again soon, and the Trustees will be asked to send a letter of support to Albany. Supt. Cross will email the form letter in support of the bill when it is sent to him. Supt. Cross received a proposed application from Chemung Bank for the construction of their new building on the Ciaschi property on the corner of Hanshaw Road and Pleasant Grove Road. Supt. Cross deemed the application to be an incomplete submittal. Some work needs to be done on the plans, and will be resubmitted. The Board will need to hear the application as soon as Supt. Cross deems the application complete. Atty. Tyler said that the Organizational Meeting (April 7 meeting) is not the time for the Planning Board to do this. There will probably be a second meeting in April, when this application could be heard by the Board. ************************************************************************* Report of the Clerk – Clerk Manning asked the Board to hear one request before Treasurer Silber presented the tentative budget. Shari Hubbert, President of the Community Nursery School of Cayuga Heights, Inc. requested their own mailbox so they could receive their mail separately from the First Congregational Church, where they are located. They are asking for an address of 309A Highland Road. Motion by Trustee Bisogni Seconded by Trustee Collyer Motion to approve addition of address 309A Highland Road for Community Nursery School located at the First Congregational Church, 309 Highland Road, Ithaca, NY. Mayor Lynn, Trustees Bisogni, Collyer, and Mount voted YES. 11 The Clerk will notify the appropriate parties of this change. ************************************************************************* Report of the Treasurer – Treasurer Silber presented his report, which is on file. The tentative budget, which has been filed with the Clerk, includes the following: There is no tax increase, no water increase and no sewer increase. Bargaining unit employees will have their pay rates increase according to their contracts. The Police Contract expires this year, so no increases will take place until a new contract is in place. A 3.5% increase has been suggested for non-bargaining unit employees, with an additional ½% to be allocated and be added to the base at the discretion of the Mayor. Treasurer Silber asked the Board to schedule a public hearing on the budget to April 7. Motion by Trustee Bisogni Seconded by Trustee Collyer Motion to pass Resolution 6327 to schedule a public hearing on the 2009 Budget for 7:00 P.M. on April 7, 2008. Mayor Lynn, Trustees Bisogni, Collyer, and Mount voted YES. Treasurer Silber asked department heads to watch their funds for the next few months of the current budget year. Trustee asked about contingency. The Treasurer said that at the end of February, contingency was at approximately $134,000. Now it is around $100,000. The Treasurer next presented the Transfers for Board approval. Motion by Trustee Bisogni Seconded by Trustee Collyer Motion to pass Resolution 6328 approving the transfers dated 3/17/08 as listed on the attached report. Mayor Lynn, Trustees Bisogni, Collyer, and Mount voted YES. The Abstract of Vouchers was then presented for payment. Motion by Trustee Bisogni Seconded by Trustee Collyer Motion to pass Resolution 6329 approving the Abstract of Audited Vouchers dated 3/17/08 in the amount of $74,997.67, and instruct the Treasurer to make payments thereon. Mayor Lynn, Trustees Bisogni, Collyer, and Mount voted YES. ************************************************************************* 12 Report of the Attorney - Mayor Lynn asked Attorney Tyler to check when the Village adopted Roberts Rules of Order, and what State laws say about conducting meetings. Clerk Manning said that she will check to see when the Village adopted the resolution stating that meetings will follow Roberts Rules of Order. The mayor asked whether action can be taken on a “motion” without a “second.” Attorney Tyler asked the Board to be prepared to vote at the April meeting on a resolution passing the local law to prohibit illicit discharges, activities and connections to separate storm sewer system as discussed in the public hearing held before this meeting. Supt. Cross wanted to make sure all the Trustees knew that the complete set of plans from Stearns and Wheler pertaining to the Phosphorous Treatment Plant were available for anyone to view. The DEC signed the plans on January 22, 2008, and the plans were received by Supt. Cross in February, as discussed in the February Board meeting. Mayor Lynn then asked for an Executive Session. Motion by Trustee Mount Motion to enter Executive Session at 9:26 P.M. pertinent to employment history of a particular person pertaining to appointment. Mayor Lynn, Trustees Bisogni, Collyer, and Mount voted YES. Motion by Trustee Bisogni Motion to close Executive Session at 9:40 P.M. Mayor Lynn, Trustees Bisogni, Collyer, and Mount voted YES. Motion by Trustee Bisogni Move to adjourn the meeting at 9:40 PM. Mayor Lynn, Trustees Bisogni, Collyer, and Mount voted YES.
