procedures. Each speaker would be allowed 2 minutes to speak so that everyone who wanted to speak
would have the opportunity to speak. Deputy Clerk Neff added that guests needed to make sure that they
signed in and that if they wanted what they said entered into the records that it needed to be written out and
given to her as soon as possible.
The first speaker was Mindy Mindlin who expressed several financial issues that concerned her, i.e.

MAYOR’S REPORT
Mayor Gilmore presented the resolution for the shared municipal services incentive grant for the
countywide water and sewer feasibility study. The Board discussed the proposed resolution. The Board’s
major concern is what impact this study will have on Engineer Cross. Engineer Cross stated that he was not
concerned because the Economic Development Collaborative will be using the Village’s Engineers, T.G.
Miller, for water information and Village’s Engineers, Stearns & Wheler for sewer information. Both
engineering firms have all of the Village’s water and sewer information already. Therefore, his work load
will not be significantly impacted for this project.
On a motion by Trustee Bors, seconded by Trustee Donner and with Andolina, Bors, Riesman,
Supron and Donner voting aye and Szekley abstaining the following was passed:
RESOLUTION # 6515
TO ENDORSE THE MEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTANDING
AND PLEDGE TO WORK WITH ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT
COLLABORATIVE FOR COUNTY-WIDE EVALUATION OF
EXISTING WATER AND SEWER INFRASTRUCTURE
WHEREAS, the Tompkins County Economic Development Strategy’s goals include increasing and
diversifying the Count’s housing supply and revitalizing the County’s unique commercial districts and town
centers, and
WHEREAS, the Economic Development Collaborative was organized to formalize, strengthen and
deepen the cooperation among the many local agencies and municipal bodies addressing economic
development issues in the County to make the process more effective through common goals and approach,
and
WHEREAS, the Tompkins County Council of Governments (TCCOG) is a member of the
Economic Development Collaborative, which is currently working to address the goals of the County’s
Economic Development Strategy, and
WHEREAS, the Economic Development Collaborative has suggested the creation of an updated,
County-wide evaluation of existing water and sewer infrastructure and the development of a conceptual plan
of water and sewer infrastructure needed to support planned future growth to meet housing and economic
development goals, and
WHEREAS, the last County-wide evaluation of water and sewer infrastructure was completed in
1994, and
3
WHEREAS, the updated evaluation would facilitate the development of housing within town and
village centers, commercial revitalization of those centers and growth in the tax base, with the most efficient
use of public dollars for infrastructure, and
WHEREAS, the result of this evaluation will be a report that is available for all municipalities to
use in their planning of infrastructure development, but that no actual investment in water or sewer facilities
is included in this project, and
WHEREAS, the county of Tompkins, on behalf of TCCOG, applied for and was awarded a grant
known as Shared Municipal Services Incentive (SMSI) grant from the State of New York, to conduct a
County-wide evaluation of water and sewer infrastructure and develop a conceptual plan, and
WHEREAS, the TCCOG unanimously adopted this resolution on September 25, 2008 and directed
that it be forwarded to municipalities for consideration and approval by local municipal boards, and
WHEREAS, the Tompkins County Legislature adopted resolution no. 186 of 2008 on September
16, 2008, that authorized the acceptance of this grant in the amount of $82,245.24 for the purpose of
conducting a County-wide evaluation of water and sewer infrastructure and to develop a conceptual plan,
now therefore be it
RESOLVED, that the Village of Cayuga Heights , by adoption of this resolution, declares its intent
to support the development of a County-wide evaluation of water sewer infrastructure and the development
of a conceptual plan of water and sewer infrastructure needed to support planned future growth to meet
housing and economic development goals, and
FURTHER RESOLVED, that the Village of Cayuga Heights pledges to work with the Economic
Development Collaborative to ensure cooperation of members’ planning and engineering departments with
this project, providing information and documentation requested by the consultant team, led by TG Miller,
including but not limited to:
Current rated capacity of water and wastewater treatment systems from existing SPDES (State
Pollution Discharge Elimination System) permits and facility plan
Electronic files or paper copies of maps showing current water distribution and/or sanitary sewer
collection systems
Recent studies of water and sewer facilities
Treatment processes, mechanical and other systems related data
Scheduled or anticipated system upgrades or new construction
Historical problems and obstacles including operational difficulties, regulatory compliance, land use
restrictions, public impact and complaints, and funding
Current population served by the utilities including number of service connections
Anticipated population growth rate for the next ten years
Existing or planned funding sources that may be available, and
Statement of need:
4
Increasing housing supply and revitalization of commercial districts are two of the Tompkins County
Economic Development Strategy’s three goals. Both require improvements to water and sewer
infrastructure, especially in the non-urbanized areas of the county. The proposed infrastructure study is,
therefore, an integral step to achieving affordable housing and revitalization goals. In particular, to provide
for housing to be reasonably affordable, housing requires density. Continuing to build individual homes on
1-2 acre lots is not an affordable approach to providing housing. Dependable water and sewer infrastructure
is also critical for revitalization of tow and village centers.
Preliminary scope of work:
A consultant will be hired to:
Update the 1994 County-wide evaluation of water and sewer infrastructure working with local
municipal staff
Prepare a conceptual plan of water and sewerage infrastructure, including potential service areas, to
support future growth.
Prepare preliminary costs to expand infrastructure to accommodate planned growth.
Work will reflect anticipated growth of the municipalities, local plans, and the Tompkins County
Comprehensive Plan.
Mayor Gilmore reported that the Village’s insurance information had been completed for and being
analyzed by the consulting firm. Treasurer Silber reported that he had received some information but that
he was waiting for the entire package to become available and that he should have something to report on by
the noon meeting on August 10th.
Mayor Gilmore reported that the Ithaca School graduating class of 1964 would like to purchase a
plaque and have installed on the stone fence at Sunset Park in memory of one of their classmates, Ellen
Weigandt. The Board discussed to allow this or not. Board members expressed a concern that it would set
a precedent for other people or organizations to want to memorialize a family member and or a resident who
had lived in the Village and had an effect on this area, the nation or the world. The Board did not want to
discriminate against future requests and felt that they as a board should set criteria for memorials for
recognizing community member(s) service. The consensus of the Board was to table this request.
Mayor Gilmore reported that he had agreed to Beth Anderson representing the Village of Cayuga
Heights at the University Neighbor Council and that he will invite her to a future meeting to report on the
council meetings.
TRUSTEES’ REPORTS
Trustee Szekely wished to acknowledge the passing of Robert T. Tyrrell who was our Highway
Superintendent from roughly 1970 to 1995 when he retired. He was born on his family’s farm in Genoa and
married Irene Sharpsteen. He farmed all his life. Prior to joining the Village of Cayuga Heights DPW, he
worked for the Town of Lansing Highway Department. His dedication to the Village of Cayuga Heights
DPW is hereby acknowledged.

Trustee Szekely also reported that Beth Anderson of 315 The Parkway will take her place on the
UNC and that she has also let George Taber, Special Assistant to the Vice President for Government and
Community Relations, and Jenifer Lindblad, Administrative Assistant in that office know.
Trustee Szekely reported that she and Carol Kammen are still searching for a Village Historian, but
have nothing positive to report yet.
Trustee Szekely expressed concern over the replacement of meters being required by Bolton Point.
The process had cost her $300 partly due to Bolton Point and her contractor. Approximately 90 other
Village residents had also received the same request and was there something that the Village could do to
better coordinate the work thus reducing the cost. Engineer Cross explained that it was Bolton Point’s
procedure to wait for the contractors to complete the change over and that the contractor had encountered a
problem with a valve not working properly so rather than waiting for the contractor to finish, Bolton Point
personnel had gone on to do other work and came back as soon as possible once they had been contacted to
complete the change thus causing additional cost to the Szekely family.
Trustee Szekely asked for clarification on the Village Board’s input regarding SCLIWC’s decision
to allow the City of Ithaca to become a part of the consortium. Will the Board have to pass a resolution
supporting or not supporting the City’s membership into the consortium? Mayor Gilmore reported that Paul
Tunison of Bolton Point will make a presentation to the Board when the request is completed by the City.
However, this issue is on hold due to personal reason and will not be ready until a later date.
Trustee Szekely reported that she is working with Rev. Steve Felker on the annual Fire Company’s
appeal letter. This year’s letter will clarify that the Fire Company is a 501-(c)3 not for profit organization
and that the Company supports the tools and teamwork needed for the volunteer fire department. The
emphasis in this year’s letter will be on the nature of the Fire Company and its activities as distinct from,
although overlapping in membership with the Village of Cayuga Heights Fire Department.
Trustee Riesman reported that she was obtaining estimates and sign recommendations from several
sign companies which she will be presenting at the next meeting.
Trustee Riesman reported that post cards had gone out to all residents of the Village regarding the
need for applications to be on the Village’s newly formed Planning Board. Thirteen residents had inquired
and that nine applications had been received. Seven of the nine applicants have been interviewed by
Engineer Cross, Trustees Supron and Szekely and the remaining two interviews were scheduled for the next
two weeks. Barring the receipt of additional applications and the need for more interviews she will be ready
to make a recommendation at the regular August meeting.
Trustee Riesman discussed with the Board the need for a comprehensive plan for the Village and the
willingness of two Cornell professors to use the Village’s comprehensive plan as a learning tool for these
classes. She explained that there would be no cost for the fall class’s help, but that the professor was
working on a class schedule and needed to know if the Village wanted to be included in his class schedule.
She also explained that Cornell would not allow employees or graduate class members to use Cornell
equipment and supplies at any cost to the recipient and that the spring class’s help would require some
reimbursement to Cornell for those services in an amount not to exceed $13,500. She also stated that the
proposed resolution was reviewed by Attorney Marcus and included with the Board’s packets for this
6
meeting. The Board discussed. One member expressed that Cornell should supply pro-bono services to the
Village, thus costing the Village nothing. Trustee Riesman explained that the work would be pro -bono, but
that the use of Cornell equipment and supplies used by the class members would be a cost to the Village.
Another board member asked if there was a timing issue for completion of a comprehensive plan for the
Village. Being that the law was passed in the 60’s and that the Village to date had not complied as of this
date that time was not the issue, but that the Village had direction in the future. Another board member
stated that he could not support the resolution because this Board was delegating the task of developing a
comprehensive plan to the prospective planning board and that it should be that board’s decision to request
the Village financial support for the second phase of the comprehensive plan. Trustee Riesman’s response
was that the Village could lose a year if it waits for the planning board formal formation. Another Trustee
asked if this action would put time restraints on Engineer Cross. This is unknown, since no one in the
Village knows how to go about compiling the information need to complete a comprehensive plan.
On a motion by Trustee Riesman, seconded by Trustee Andolina and Andolina, Bors, Riesman,
Supron and Szekely voting aye and Donner voting nay the following was adopted:
RESOLUTION # 6516
TO ENGAGE THE SERVICES FOR ROLF PENDALL OF CORNELL UNIVERSITY’S
DEPARTMENT OF CITY & REGIONAL PLANNING AND HIS CITY & REGIONAL PLANNING
CLASS TO UNDERTAKE BACKGROUND STUDY TO ASSIST WITH THE DEVELOPMENT OF
THE VILLAGE’S NEW COMPREHENSIVE PLAN
WHEREAS, the Village of Cayuga Heights recognizes that New York State law requires that any
land use or zoning regulation of a village must be in accordance with a written comprehensive plan;
and
WHEREAS, at the present time the Village’s comprehensive plan consists of the assemblage of
land use and zoning materials, including maps and meeting minutes, that currently express the
objectives, principles, policies and standards that the Village has implemented or applied to land use
and zoning decisions; and
WHEREAS, the Village desires to review such assemblage of materials and develop an updated,
more complete and more forward-looking comprehensive plan in a single written document; and
WHEREAS, the Village Board of Trustees desires to delegate the task of developing the new
comprehensive plan to the Village Planning Board, with assistance to be provided through Cornell
University’s Department of City & Regional Planning; and
WHEREAS, the Village Board of Trustees desires to authorize the Village to engage the services,
as described in these resolutions, to assist the Village Planning Board in development and
preparation of the Village’s new comprehensive plan;
NOW, THEREFORE BE IT
RESOLVED, that the Village of Cayuga Heights engage Cornell University and work with Rolf
Pendall, of Cornell University’s Department of City & Regional Planning, and his City & Regional
7
Planning class for the Fall of 2009, to undertake background study to assist with the development of
the Village’s new comprehensive plan.
POLICE
There being no other reports from the Trustees, Mayor Gilmore asked Chief Boyce to present his
information and request at this time.
Chief Boyce reported that the new 126 is now in operations and requested permission to sell the
2002 Dodge Durango.
On a motion by Trustee Donner, seconded by Trustee Szekely and Andolina, Bors, Riesman, Supron
Szekely and Donner voting aye the following resolution was adopted:
RESOLUTION # 6517
A RESOLUTION DECLARING THE VILLAGE’S 2002 DODGE DURANGO AS EXCESS
EQUIPMENT AND AUTHORIZE CHIEF BOYCE TO DISPOSE OF IT TO THE HIGHEST
BIDDER IN A TIME FRAME THAT HE DEEMS APPROPRIATE
RESOLVE, that the Village’s 2002 Dodge Durango is excess equipment, and
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that Chief Boyce is hereby authorized to
dispose of it to the highest bidder in a time frame that he deems appropriate.
Chief Boyce next presented a possible electronic speed sign that could be used at the 5 places within
the Village. The cost for the sign is $3,775 plus the hook up requirements at the 5 possible sites (Pleasant
Grove Rd., Hanshaw Rd., Triphammer Rd. and Cayuga Heights Rd.). He explained that the old speed limit
trailer cost approximately $10,000 and was approximately 10 years old. The old speed limit trailer does not
record date, time, and speed and the new speed sign does record date, time and speeds which would enable
the Police Department to better patrol areas at needed times. The Board thanked him for the presentation.
No action was taken by the Board.
Chief Boyce reported that Police Clerk, Jean Eaton, had given him notice of her intention to retire at
end of November. He is requesting the Board’s authorization to start the process for her replacement.
Mayor Gilmore stated that Chief Boyce had discussed this with him and that he supports Chief Boyce’s
recommendation. The recommendation is as follows:
Advertise, interview and hire a prospective police clerk by September 15, 2009; work full time with
Mrs. Eaton from hiring date to retirement date, but not exceeding 60 days at an hourly rate of $15 and with a
civil service full time typist position title; upon Mrs. Eaton’s retirement to promote to provisional police
clerk subject to successfully passing the civil service exam to be given in April 2010 at an hourly rate of
$18; and on successfully passing the civil service exam promoted to permanent police clerk at an hourly rate
of $20. According to his calculations the additional cost during the training period would be approximately
$4,200, but that there would be a saving to the Village during the provisional period of time.
8
The consensus of the Board was to agree to Chief Boyce’s recommendation with the request for
Mrs. Eaton to write a manual during the training time which should shorten the training time in the future.
Chief Boyce stated that he would ask Mrs. Eaton to do this.
On a motion by Trustee Donner, seconded by Trustee Andolina and with Andolina, Bors, Riesman, Supron.
Szekely and Donner voting aye the following resolution was adopted:
RESOLUTION # 6518
TO AUTHORIZE CHIEF BOYCE TO ADVERTISE THE POSTION OF POLICE CLERK
AND TO INTERVIEW APPLICANTS ACCORDING TO VILLAGE POLICY
RESOLVE, that Chief Boyce is hereby authorized to advertise the position of Police Clerk and
to interview applicants approved by Civil Service according to Village policy.
Due to time restraints, the consensus of the Board was to table the discussion on Village Hall
renovation. Mayor Gilmore added that Engineer Cross, Clerk Manning and Chief Boyce has come up with
the best plan yet and will have it for the Board to review.
Due to the time the next agenda item, Engineer Cross asked for the Board to pass a resolution
approving the Village acceptance of a fixed electrical rate with Integrys of $0.062716 per kwh and authorize
the Mayor to sign the acceptance. He explained that he had received information from Integrys which
showed a slight decrease in total cost if the Village had agreed to a fixed rate. Treasurer Silber stated that
Engineer Cross had forwarded the information to him for review and that is would be a slight cost saving to
the Village going with a fixed rate.
On a motion by Trustee Supron, seconded by Trustee Bors and with Andolina, Bors, Riesman,
Supron. Szekely and Donner voting aye the following resolution was adopted:
RESOLUTION # 6519
APPROVING AND AUTHORIZING THE MAYOR TO SIGN AGREEMENT
WITH INTEGRYS ENERGY SERVICE OF NEW YORK, INC.
FOR A FIXED ELECTRIC RATE OF $0.062716 per kwh
RESOLVE, that the agreement with Integrys Energy Service of New York, Inc. is hereby
Approved at a fixed electric rate of $0.062716 per kwh for a period of one year, and
FURTHER RESOLVE, that the Mayor is hereby authorized to sign the agreement.
Engineer Cross stated that the rest of his items on the agenda could wait until the next meeting of the
board.
DEER REMEDIATION ADVISORY COMMITTEE
Trustee Supron introduced herself and stated that before becoming a Trustee in April of this year she
was the chairperson for DRAC. Although not required by law, the committee meetings had been open and
advertised to the public. The committee was charged with the problem of finding a solution to the Village’s
9
deer over population. The committee was originally chaired by Mayor Gilmore who stepped down from
being chair once the committee was formally established. The Board of Trustees had asked the committee
to reviewing a multiple of written articles and to seek results from other areas with similar deer problems
who had taken steps to cull the deer. One of these areas was Cornell University who has been studying and
trying different ways of culling the deer population on Cornell’s properties. They had also assisted the
Village with the prior deer study that was done in the 90’s. Based on the all information that the committee
researched and received through the community’s input, they are recommending the following plan:
Phase I – Sterilize a core group of does over the next three years (10-15 per year)
Phase II – Cull from the remaining group with a bait and shoot project using specialized individuals
who are properly insured and experienced
Phase III – Determine the number of deer through a continuous study, so that the problem can be
addressed prior to becoming an issue again.
Trustee Supron next introduced Paul Curtis who is the leader of Cornell’s natural resource studies.
It was with his help that the committee had come up with this plan and that he will try to answer the Board’s
questions.
The trustees asked the following questions:
Prior to accepting the DRAC recommendations, does it require compliance with the SEQR
Act? Attorney Gutenberger answered that yes it will require a SEQR action, but that she would need to
review with Attorney Marcus which form and how to proceed before directing the Board. She or Attorney
Marcus will get back to the Trustees.
Mr. Curtis was asked if he had an estimate of cost. He stated that there would be a fix cost of
$1,000 to $1,100 per doe for sterilization. Additional costs for the follow up to the track the does and
number of deer in the Village is a variable amount depending on the frequency, type of equipment and
labor. Mr. Curtis further commented that there will be infiltration of does and bucks from the surrounding
areas, so the tracking becomes a significant tool for managing the deer population. Since the recommended
number of deer per square mile is 15 – 20 deer, the recommended number of deer is 30 – 40 deer in the
Village. In order to manage the number of deer, tracking has proved to Cornell to provide the best
management tool.
Trustees asked if sterilization is 100% effective. Mr. Curtis replied that 95 – 98% is more
realistic for the sterilization process.
Mr. Curtis recommended the following time line for sterilizing and for bait & shooting the deer.
January, February and March of each year will provide the greatest success because the deer are hungry
which make the easiest to catch for the sterilization of at least 10 does over the next three years. The last
two weeks of March is the best time to catch, tag and determine the starting count. The process should take
from 5 – 10 years, but there will be annual costs to properly manage the Village herd. He recommended
annual camera surveys until the Village’s goal is met and then every other year or so to manage the
Village’s deer herd.
Trustee Supron stated that the Village will need to hire a deer manager to manage its program. This
position can be filled by a Cornell grad student for approximately $40,000 per year plus benefits which
would be an annual savings of $2,000 0 $3,000 if a technician was hired to be the Village’s deer manager.
Mr. Curtis explained that the Village will need two permits before it can implement the proposed
plan and the Village can contract with Cornell to obtain the required permits. The cost would be negotiated.
10
He also explained the permit process takes approximately 2 months and cannot be started without the SEQR
determination.
Trustee Supron stated that the committee would like Board action by the end of August which
prevents the Village from losing another year’s time implementing its plan.
The Board thanked Mr. Curtis for coming to answer their questions and for helping the committee
come up with a plan for managing the deer population in the Village.
Mayor Gilmore directed the Finance Committee to compile a budget for the proposed deer plan for
at least the next 3 years.
TREASURER
Treasurer Silber stated that the Village had received 4 invoices after the July 13th meeting of the
Board which needed to be paid prior to the August 10th meeting. First was an additional charge on the
Village’s credit card bill. He get the credit card bill from the web in time for it to be included on the
abstract, but sometimes the credit card company includes charges after the date that I download the bill for
payment. The additional amount due is $216.78. Second is Matco Electric which is one of the contractors
on the phosphorus treatment project. This is their first request for payment and they did not know about the
timing in which they needed to get their request in for payment on the abstract. They have been notified.
The amount of this payment is $70,775. The Staples statement is time sensitive and to prevent a penalty
needs to be paid before the next abstract. The amount due is $395.80. Last is the DPW received it new
pick-up truck that the Board had authorized to be ordered prior to year-end and paid for from the 2010
budget. The amount due on that is $34,432.75.
