Mayor Supron added comments for clarification of some of the topics discussed during PoF. • Apologized for interrupting a speaker. • Thanked the speakers for coming to this meeting. • Getting information out to the public from the Village is difficult now that the Village is without an editor for the Courier. Separate mailings can be very costly. • The Public Hearing for the Comprehensive Plan will not be scheduled until after the public has provided their comments to the Board. • There will be meetings to discuss the Comprehensive Plan scheduled tonight. The Board of Trustees has read it and now the public needs to read it. These meetings will be to gather information and have a question and answer session on the Comprehensive Plan. • The Planning Board has been working on this project for two years, once a month and their meetings are advertised and open to the public. Trustee Szekely added that there was a week-long forum for Villagers two years ago – when the process was getting under way. The inventory section in the Comprehensive Plan has a great deal of information surveying the Village. It was the first such document written in the 100 long-history in Cayuga Heights. That raw data was written by the students. The actual Plan has been written by the members of the Planning Board Chairman Harms and Graham Gillespie. Now that a draft of the document is completed, this is the time for major discussion and public input. She is a liaison to the Planning Board and has helped to edit the document. Trustee Riesman pointed out that by going to the website and signing up for the Village E-Blast, you would be advised by email of monthly calendar reminders and special alerts. VILLAGE OF CAYUGA HEIGHTS BOARD OF TRUSTEES Minutes 836 Hanshaw Rd – Marcham Hall July 9, 2012 – 7PM Page 3 Mayor Supron closed PoF at 7:40 PM Report of Mayor Supron – 60 minutes • Comprehensive Plan – discussion of plan for public input (a copy is available on the website and in the Clerk’s office for review) Discussion continued to look for a date to hold the informal discussions of questions and answers with the residents on the Comprehensive Plan. August 6 th and August 21 st were chosen as tentative dates for the informal discussions from 7PM – 9PM to be held at the CHFD to be advertised as a Special Board Informal meeting to discuss the Comprehensive Plan. Motion: Trustee Szekely Second: Trustee Riesman Resolution # 7117 to hold a special Board informal meeting August 6, 2012 to discuss the Comprehensive Plan at the CHFD, 7-9PM. Discussion – no other comments All approve – no nays or abstains – motion carried Motion: Trustee Andolina Second: Trustee Crooker Resolution # 7118 to hold a special Board informal meeting August 21, 2012 to discuss the Comprehensive Plan at the CHFD, 7-9PM. Discussion – no other comments All approve – no nays or abstains – motion carried Discussion – a question was asked if there was a time frame for holding a public hearing on the Comprehensive Plan. It was discussed that if some people can’t attend either of the informal meetings, it may be best to post-pone the public hearing that had been considered for September. After the public hearing, the Board will review the comments and recommendations from the public and provide any suggested modifications back to the Planning Board for inclusion in a revised draft of the Plan. If there are significant modifications, the process would begin again – the Planning Board would submit the revised Comprehensive Plan to the Board for review; another opportunity for public review will be made available and another public hearing would be scheduled. Another question was raised regarding the format of the informal meeting and it was indicated that the two informal meetings would be like a round table meeting where questions or concerns raised would be discussed and answered. Mr. Harms added that the July 23 rd and August 27 th Planning Board meetings also could be used as an informal question and answer meeting. The Planning Board would receive some kind of directive from the Board of Trustees once the public hearing has taken place and all the comments and suggestions have been reviewed. It was suggested to hold the August 21 st meeting from the CH Fire Station to Kendal. VILLAGE OF CAYUGA HEIGHTS BOARD OF TRUSTEES Minutes 836 Hanshaw Rd – Marcham Hall July 9, 2012 – 7PM Page 4 Motion: Trustee Andolina Second: Trustee Crooker Resolution # 7119 to change the August 21, 2012 meeting location from the CH Fire Station to Kendal from 7PM-9PM depending upon availability. Discussion – no other comments All approve – no nays or abstains – motion carried • George Frantz – extension of contract end date – the contract end date needs to be established in order to make final payment to Mr. Frantz once the Comprehensive Plan as been adopted. Attorney Marcus indicated that a renewal letter/contract from Mr. Frantz noting the new date would then be signed by Mr. Frantz and Mayor Supron. Motion: Trustee Andolina Second: Trustee Crooker Resolution # 7120 to authorize the extension of the contract with Mr. George Frantz to be on or before December 31, 2012. Discussion: no other comments All approve – no nays or abstains – motion carried • Proposed local laws Noise Ordinance – Mayor Supron gave an over-view of the proposed local law and indicated it could be viewed on the website and copies were available at the sign-in table. The option of no permit is being considered here. Chief Steinmetz advised that the hours of 7AM – 9 PM is being considered due to the working resident using this time to work on home projects once they get home from their professional job. He also said the officers would have the option to use discretion during such incidents as pointed out in Section 4. It was discussed the wording of the air-conditioning wording will be taken out of the proposed local law. Trustee Szekely received a letter from a year ago from Ms. Barbara Corell, who was hoping for the addition of a noise ordinance and was complaining about the construction work being done at night. Trustee Szekely will advise her to attend the public hearing. Motion: Trustee Andolina Second: Trustee Crooker Resolution # 7121 to schedule a public hearing on proposed local law “E” Noise Ordinance at the Board of Trustee meeting of August 13, 2012 for 7:05PM, at Marcham Hall. Discussion: no other comments All approve – no nays or abstains – motion carried VILLAGE OF CAYUGA HEIGHTS BOARD OF TRUSTEES Minutes 836 Hanshaw Rd – Marcham Hall July 9, 2012 – 7PM Page 5 Authorize to Request and Provide Mutual Police Aid – Chief Steinmetz gave an over- view of General Municipal Law 209M –the authority for a municipality to request or give mutual aid to another rests with the mayor or deputy mayor. This proposed local law gives the authority to request or provide mutual aid to the chief police with the understanding that the chief will notify the mayor or deputy mayor of the circumstance. This mutual aid is for a protracted event where the officer may be at the event for eight hours, 16 hours or even a week. Normally this doesn’t happen but if there is a need this proposed local law expedites getting the proper help to us or to another person. General Municipal Law 209M also states that reimbursement for aid given or received does not supersede this 209M. Any reimbursement would be less than 209M. Motion: Trustee Szekely Second: Trustee Andolina Resolution # 7122 to schedule a public hearing on proposed local law “D” Authorize to Request and Provide Mutual Police Aid at the Board of Trustee meeting of August 13, 2012 for 7:15PM, at Marcham Hall. Discussion: no other comments All approve – no nays or abstains – motion carried • Appointment of Alison Shull as the Village of Cayuga Heights representative to the Joint Youth Commission. Mayor Supron called for a resolution for this appointment. Motion: Trustee Riesman Second: Trustee Crooker Resolution # 7123 to appointment of Alison Shull as the Village of Cayuga Heights representative to the Joint Youth Commission. Discussion: no other comments All approve – no nays or abstains – motion carried • TW Cable audit – consulting agreement with Computel Consultants – Mayor Supron indicated this consulting firm works with Time Warner Cable to audit their contract and there isn’t a charge by the consulting firm unless they recover found funds and then they would take 40% of the identified funds. Motion: Trustee Andolina Second: Trustee Crooker Resolution # 7124 to authorize Mayor Supron to sign a contract with the Computel Consultants to perform an audit of the Time Warner Cable contract. Discussion: no other comments All approve – no nays or abstains – motion carried VILLAGE OF CAYUGA HEIGHTS BOARD OF TRUSTEES Minutes 836 Hanshaw Rd – Marcham Hall July 9, 2012 – 7PM Page 6 • Sidewalks/walkability – Mayor Supron indicated that several members of the public have already given comments on this item during PoF. Intern Tennant has done a sidewalk inventory, by taking pictures and mapped them out as to which are in need of repair. The Village does not maintain double sidewalks but it does promote walkability. However, there are a few streets in the heart of the Village that do have double sidewalks. One sidewalk on a very quite street is being repaired as it is already on the plan. The White Park Rd sidewalk was repaired as it applies to the walkability nature. Even as it was a decision made by the Board some 25 years previously, Mayor Supron agreed with Mr. Uhlig that it was a lot of money to put into a sidewalk. Mayor Supron and Trustee Crooker have started a sidewalk and walkability committee to get ahead of decisions such as this and be more prepared. Trustee Crooker added that it takes all parties, the DPW, the Public Works Committee and Mr. Cross on the stewardship aspect of the sidewalks in the Village is important. We have already discussed the bigger picture in the strategic plan. There are some of the important issues with regard to the sidewalks 1. maintenance existing sidewalks 2. hot spots that are in disrepair and need either minor or major work 3. and then determine where to place new sidewalks – with prioritizing the budget as a whole. Trustee Riesman provided background about the walkability committee three years ago. We looked at the parental concern of getting children from here to Boynton and the High School. Mr. Fred Cowett and Ms. Abby Cone did a power point that has to do with walkability to the schools – Wyckoff and Kline and it shows her son as the child being avoided by cars swerving out of the way as he walks on the shoulder of the road. As you discuss Boynton or the High School and try to determine any kind of procedure this would involve not only the Village but the Town and City as well. The Town had suggested that the principals of each school be invited to participate. It was suggested to do a study of how many cars are on Wyckoff and Kline. The traffic device may be a resource to use for this. Plus, there are many people interested in this topic. Mayor Supron indicated the first meeting was attended by Trustee Crooker, Intern Tennant and herself but expressed an interest for the public comment and an opportunity to accomplish a lot of work. Sidewalks are an expensive service. Its one thing to repair and preserve sidewalks already established but trying to install new sidewalks will take money. A good way to accomplish this is through grants. The Village is looking into this type of funding, plus it would take the cooperation and coordination of the Town of Ithaca. A question was raised if this includes crosswalks in the walk ability. The current sidewalk inventory doesn’t show them but can be easily added. Intern Tennant did a brief presentation showing the pictures of some of the sidewalks and discussed the lines on the map. This is also on the website. There is a distinction between old Village and new Village. There are 21 miles of road within the Village and 9 miles of sidewalks. Mayor Supron suggested that the public be invited to be involved in the planning process. The question is how to best contact the public. It was suggested that the website and a monthly newsletter be sent with this type of information and look for public involvement with this committee. Trustee Andolina asked one more question about the decision of White Park and the sidewalk. Mayor Supron indicated having several discussions with Attorney Marcus, Trustees and the Public Works Committee. Mayor Supron made the decision on the side of safety and scheduled the repair of White Park Rd. Trustee Szekely indicated there will not be other repairs scheduled VILLAGE OF CAYUGA HEIGHTS BOARD OF TRUSTEES Minutes 836 Hanshaw Rd – Marcham Hall July 9, 2012 – 7PM Page 7 until Intern Tennant’s survey is complete and the PW Committee develops a plan and the Board indicates budgeted monies to accommodate repairs. • Marcham Hall – Design review – Mr. Cross confirmed the plumbing contractor came to the office today and signed the contract to do the work on the addition. He is aware his bill will not be paid until after the August 13 th meeting. Mr. Cross spoke with two contractors – Emery and Yaws. Both have indicated there would be a cost savings if the design of the roof could be modified. Mr. Cross then showed via computer a copy of designed by both contractors. A discussion continued regarding the design modifications. It was decided that Mr. Cross would contact Mr. Zwigard and discuss modifications to the roof design that would save the Village time and money in labor and supplies. Report of the Trustees – 10 minutes • Trustee Andolina reported that the draft emergency preparedness plan was provided to the Board of Trustees. The body of the document is able to be publicized. Officer Lanning was introduced as the lead on the project. Officer Lanning will provide an overview and some of the workings of the plan. It is the goal of the committee that once finalized the Board will adopt this plan as the Village’s Emergency Preparedness Plan. Officer Lanning provided information of the current Village’s plan was based on 1984-86 when the hazmat, which was required by Federal law Sera Title 3, was initially written. Since then there have been many incidents, both internationally and nationally, that have happened, especially 911 – preparedness has become a priority for the Federal government. The Ready.Gov pamphlets on the table address this issue. Once the Village has an adopted plan in place and is kept current and in the event of a disaster any federal funding for reimbursement for damages sustained from the disaster would be easier with proof of the Village’s attempt to mitigate the type of hazard. This plan is also required if the Village wants access to any grants provided by FEMA – Federal Emergency Management Agency and SEMO – State Emergency Management Office. To be eligible for these grants requires specific people be trained and know what to do in the event of an emergency as well as having a formal plan in place. This shows we have taken steps to mitigate and lessen the hazards of the situation. There are particular roles established within the plan, such as the Police, Fire, DPW, the Board of Trustees and Mayor. As a disaster begins, because everyone has been prepared will know their particular job/role and the process to work through the disaster will hopefully be a smooth transition. The document is only a guideline. It’s difficult to plan for every scenario that may happen during an emergency situation. The plan also provides for continuity of services to the residents. Local government will be able to do business, even if this means to move to a different location and provides quicker recovery. We have worked with Tompkins County Emergency Response– Beth Harrington in creating a template to get us started. This document is constantly evolving and isn’t something that is put into place today and forgotten until needed. The body of the document – the part where the public can view remains constant. The functional appendix areas where it dictates what our procedures are and what the process is will be evolving. Every incident will be reviewed to discover what worked and what didn’t and where changes may need to be done. The Board and or the Mayor will need to appoint a Chairperson of the committee. This person would continually review the plan – as a whole committee and then the subcommittees will need to meet. Also who the committee members are to work with the plan, set a time line for training VILLAGE OF CAYUGA HEIGHTS BOARD OF TRUSTEES Minutes 836 Hanshaw Rd – Marcham Hall July 9, 2012 – 7PM Page 8 and then schedule an annual training period. Once this plan is completed there will need to be a resolution passed by the Board. Trustee Szekely asked what role Cornell plays in this plan. Officer Lanning indicated they have not yet been asked to provide input but will be contacted at some point. We will need to discuss resources, a memorandum of understanding and such issues. It was further discussed that at the August meeting the Board will make appointments and discusses a resolution to adopt the plan. The plan can be adopted without the completed/working appendices in place. What you would be adopting would be the outline or backbone of the plan. Trustee Crooker asked how much of the plan will be approved. Trustee Andolina indicated that it would be the entire document included the appendices that are in place right now with the understanding that it is a living document that will evolve. Attorney Marcus indicated you would have to adopt by resolution if it is not considered a local law. He continued to say that if this will be a policy type of document, you will be able to adopt changes on the fly. Amending the plan would not require a public hearing or advance public notification. If the change is something that will be guidance for Village employees or public officials then you will need a resolution. Mayor Supron questioned if there would be a breach in confidentiality of the plan. Attorney Marcus continued to say this would be the same as if you were to discuss a hiring decision that is discussed in executive session because of the confidentiality of the person’s application and qualifications that are not appropriate to discuss in public. The only persons who will have access to the plan will be the Board members. Trustee Crooker indicated the committee should have an arranged procedure to follow when these changes are brought to their attention and that the changes to the plan which happen on an ongoing basis will have to be brought back to the Board for ratification. He continued to ask where this “live” in a written – paper copy and or on the server. Officer Lanning confirmed that the Fire Dept, Police Dept, Mayor and Village Office will have a hard copy. There are some guidelines to be developed by the committee as to the growth of the appendices. Attorney Marcus asked if this plan is going to be adopted by all the municipalities. Officer Lanning responded by saying that they may be similar – but what may work for this Village may not work for say the Town of Caroline. Their dynamics are different that the Village and their emergencies may be different. The framework of the plan will be the same for all municipalities but the differences will be made to fit the particulars of each municipality. Chief Steinmetz pointed out that during any emergency, the Village would have the additional resource and guidance for the Emergency Response individuals at Brown Road such as their radios and communication truck. • Trustee Riesman alerted the Board to a waterfront protection and promotion project that the County has proposed in the past. The Village was the only municipality not to support the project – due to that the County could not submit a grant that would provide funding for the project. The plan will be revisited in 2013 and it is hopeful that the Village will sign in a show of support. There is no financial impact for the Village. The plan is currently being reviewed by Mr. Ed Marks, Ms. Joann Cornish. VILLAGE OF CAYUGA HEIGHTS BOARD OF TRUSTEES Minutes 836 Hanshaw Rd – Marcham Hall July 9, 2012 – 7PM Page 9 Motion: Trustee Riesman Second: Trustee Andolina RESOLUTION NO # 7125 ADOPTION OF THE LOCAL WATERFRONT REVITALIZATION PROGRAM: CAYUGA LAKE WATERFRONT PLAN WHEREAS, the Village of Cayuga Heights worked with the Towns of Ithaca, Lansing, and Ulysses, with the Village of Lansing, and with the City of Ithaca to prepare a Local Waterfront Revitalization Program (LWRP), pursuant to Article 42 of the Executive Law, and WHEREAS, a Draft Local Waterfront Revitalization Program (dated December 2004), entitled “Cayuga Lake Waterfront Plan,” was prepared that examines lands and waters along the entire Cayuga Lake waterfront in Tompkins County, and WHEREAS, the Local Waterfront Revitalization Program: Cayuga Lake Waterfront Plan recommends programs, projects, and policies to • Increase public access to the waterfront through trail development and enhancing waterfront parks; • Control noise from boats and enhance boater safety by strengthening and enforcing boating regulations; • Protect and improve the water quality of Cayuga Lake; and WHEREAS, the Town of Lansing Planning Board was the lead agency for the purposes of conducting the environmental review of the Cayuga Lake Waterfront Plan in accordance with the requirements of Part 617 of the implementing regulations for Article 8 of the Environmental Conservation Law, and WHEREAS, the Town of Lansing Planning Board, on August 22, 2005, adopted a resolution that made a negative declaration of environmental significance in regard to adoption of the Local Waterfront Revitalization Program: Cayuga Lake Waterfront Plan, now therefore be it RESOLVED, That Trustees of the Village of Cayuga Heights hereby adopt the Local Waterfront Revitalization Program: Cayuga Lake Waterfront Plan. Discussion: Mr. Cross indicated there may be monies available through the NYS Thruway system. The Thruway system is in charge of the canals. Trustee Riesman indicates with all the signatures that the monies would be easier to obtain grant monies. Two other Trustees would like to review the entire document prior to voting to adopt. It was decided to table this motion until the August 13 th meeting. Report of Chief Steinmetz – 5 minutes • Submitted report – Trustee Szekely thanked the CHPD for providing officers at Sunset Park during the fireworks. There was a huge crowd in attendance and the traffic pattern developed by the officers and followed by the public made the entire event pleasant for everyone. Trustee Szekely also said there needs to be pruning along the sidewalks. • New Officer - would like to enter into executive session to discuss the employment of a new officer – would like to discuss two specific officers and the details of their qualifications for the position. • Traffic Signs & Village Hall cameras – with looking at the budget there is $3600 for the traffic signs – the cameras would be looked at coming out of the Village Hall budget – as the cameras were for the security issues of the whole building. A new traffic sign would be $3647 with data VILLAGE OF CAYUGA HEIGHTS BOARD OF TRUSTEES Minutes 836 Hanshaw Rd – Marcham Hall July 9, 2012 – 7PM Page 10 or two signs without data collection. There is a possibility to sell the current traffic trailer at a $2000 cost. This would then help cover the new traffic sign. Trustee Andolina gave a brief review of using contingency monies to purchase the cameras and using the police budget to purchase the traffic signs. Either way there is a need to have both items in place for Village security issues. Motion: Trustee Andolina Second: Trustee Riesman Resolution # 7126 to authorize a budget change for an additional $3600 in the police budget to purchase the traffic sign @ $3647. Discussion: no other comment All approve – no nays or abstains – motion carried Chief Steinmetz indicated that the installation of the new cameras for the Village will be easier to run the cable during the building of the addition to Marcham Hall.
