C. Cox – read the Comprehensive Plan and commends the efforts of the Planning Board and the emphasis
on the importance of the quality of life and the importance of empty space. However, spoke against the
re-zoning of the empty space.
J. Liebherr – expressed thanks to the Board for making the decision to replace the sidewalk on White Park
Rd in keeping with the walkability in the Village. Also thanked Jeff Frisbie and Jeff Ellis for their
participation doing the road and sidewalk work.
A. Hajek – agreed with the comments of Mr. Liebherr.

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.

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 6th and August 21st 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.

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 23rd and August 27th 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 21st meeting from the CH Fire Station to Kendal.

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

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

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

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

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 13th 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.

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
