4. Privilege of the Floor (PoF):
Mark Mecenas wondered if the Board would provide feedback on a bulleted list that he emailed to the Mayor. It was
determined that not all members of the current board received the list forwarded to the Trustee distribution. A Zoning
Task Force has been formed and their initial meeting will be held on April 28th. Mr. Mecenas would appreciate having a
structure upon which to develop a conceptual design. Mayor Supron expressed her impression that in the aforementioned
email the height of his envisioned building is a significant departure from his initial conceptual plan. Superintendent of
Public Works Cross recommended that an option may be to treat Mr. Mecenas’ proposal as a unique request under the
Village’s Planned Unit Development guidelines. That would remove the onus for a zoning change which would apply to
all structures in the Commercial District. Mr. Mecenas and Supt. Cross will meet and discuss that possibility. The topic
may again be raised at the May 12th BOT Meeting.
It was decided that the permitting question regarding JJ’s Café change of ownership would be addressed. Supt. Cross
presented background on the issue at hand. Attorney Marcus and Supt. Cross determined that current applicable code
falls under a section regarding permitting food service or gas station businesses which predates formation of the Planning
Board. In these cases it falls to the BOT and not the Zoning Board or Planning Board to make a determination.
Trustee Friend joined the meeting at this point.
The question of an expiration date on this kind of permit was discussed. Although Supt. Cross has been aware that
permit renewal should be undergone; he has not, due to time constraints, enforced this.
Resolution #7480
BE IT RESOLVED THAT: A Public Hearing will be held at the May 12, 2014 Village of Cayuga Heights Board of
Trustees Meeting for the purpose of permitting a continued food service business housed at the current JJ’s Café site.
Motion: Trustee Crooker
Second: Trustee Woodard
Ayes: Crooker, Friend, Hamilton, Robinson, Salton, and Woodard
Nays: none
Abstentions: none
Motion carried
Chief Steinmetz extended his thanks to the current owners of JJ’s for their service to the community and for their support
of the Cayuga Heights Police Department.
5. FYE2015 Budget (Exhibit FYE2015-02)
Various topics related to the Tentative Budget were discussed. An exchange on the decision to raise the percentage of
healthcare premium contribution to be made by non-bargaining unit employees took place. The BOT decided that
keeping the tax levy within the tax cap, yet raising the tax rate sufficiently to keep fund balance steady was the best
course of action.
Resolution #7481
BE IT RESOLVED THAT: The Tax Levy for Fiscal Year June 1, 2014 – May 31, 2015 for the Village of Cayuga
Heights will be set at $6.34 per $1,000 of property assessed value. The change is an increase of 1.9% in the Tax Levy
Rate.
Motion: Trustee Hamilton
Second: Trustee Salton
Ayes: Crooker, Friend, Hamilton, Robinson, Salton, and Woodard

Supt. Cross asked if the Sewer Rate had been established at the Organizational Meeting on April 7, 2014. It had not.
Following a brief discussion and explanation the following was proposed:
Resolution #7482
BE IT RESOLVED THAT: The Sewer rate for FYE2015 will remain unchanged for the Village of Cayuga Heights.

2014 Board of Trustees Meeting.
7. Report of the Trustees:
No reports to be presented.
8. Report of Superintendent of Public Works Cross: (Exhibit FYE2015-03)
a. Phosphorus level testing results were very good last month; one of our best.
b. Soluble Reactive Phosphorus testing results were excellent as well. It measures how much phosphorus is usable by
organisms in the lake. This testing is not required by the DEC or the Cayuga Lake Modeling Project. It was
proposed that an article in Village Voices to share this good news would be appropriate.
c. A project to improve drainage on Winthrop Drive has been submitted for grant funding from the Tompkins County
Stream Corridor Restoration and Improvement Fund.
d. Supt. Cross attended training that qualifies the Village to apply for funding under Safe Routes to School Grants.
Although it is too late to apply for this year, work will be performed by a summer intern that will allow the Village
to be more prepared for the next round of funding.
10. Report of Clerk & Treasurer Mangione (Exhibit FYE2015-04)
Resolution #7483
BE IT RESOLVED THAT: The Village of Cayuga Heights/ Location code 40151 hereby establishes the following as
reflected in Exhibit FYE2015-04 standard work days for elected and appointed officials and will report the following
days worked to the New York State and Local Employees’ Retirement System based on the time keeping system records

Village of Cayuga Heights
Monthly Report – May, 2014
We had 46 total calls for the month of April. There were 21 calls in the Village of Cayuga Heights, 20
calls in the Town of Ithaca and 5 mutual aid requests. We had 29 EMS runs and 27 fire calls. Our
EMTs had a busy month in April. We responded to three separate calls through the month for patients
in cardiac arrest. In all three cases we performed CPR and advanced life support procedures and
working with Bangs Ambulance and regained pulses prior to the patients arriving at the hospital. It was
an amazing month for our EMS providers.
April was a great month for training. Early in the month we did our annual SCBA recertification. All
firefighters in the department must recertify annually with our self-contained breathing apparatus.
Exterior firefighters are required to demonstrate their proficiency in donning the SBA. Interior
firefighters must demonstrate that they can don the SCBA, perform full and partial escapes to get
through confined areas, do a search in a dark room and then use the bail-out system to exit a second
floor and rappel to the ground. All department firefighters must do this recertification to maintain
membership. Late in the month we did a joint training with the FAST teams from the Dryden and
Cortlandville Fire Departments. We did this training with these departments because we work closely
with Dryden on scenes and Cortlandville is the primary mutual aid department from the north side of the
Town of Dryden. This was a fantastic training and we are planning to do this again this summer. Bangs
Ambulance came to the station in April for a training on ambulance operations. We try to do this
training annually with Bangs. There was also a training on penetrating trauma offered through Cayuga
Medical Center with Dr. Anthony Hsu. Several of our EMTs attended the training.
With the approval of the Village budget we have started to schedule the projects that were budgeted for.
In June we will have the driveway sealed and striped, the air conditioning unit replaced the in the radio
room and the carpet replaced in the office area. We will order all of the budgeted equipment for
delivery through the summer.
We have two bunkers who have lived at the station for two years who are leaving in May. When we
posted the rooms to the department we immediately had several members who applied for the bunking
positions. Fire Council looked through the candidates and chose two firefighters to fill the rooms. We
also had several members who have requested to bunk over the summer while taking fire and EMS
classes in the area. We will be fully staffed at the station through the summer. We are very pleased
with the staffing at the department at this time.
Sincerely,
George Tamborelle
