2. Report of Fire Superintendent Tamborelle (Exhibit FYE2015-069)
2014 was a busy year, response calls were up over the previous year. A turbine fire at Milliken Station took 3 – 4 hours of
firefighter time. A possible plane incident at the airport required a response as well. The annual Installation Dinner will be
held April 11, 2015 at the usual venue; invitations will be forthcoming.
3. Report of Asst. Superintendent of Public Works Frisbie (Exhibit FYE2015-070)
Leaf season was completed in December. All possible outside projects have been completed. Long awaited plaster work in
Marcham Hall was done by DPW staff; it is hoped that roof repairs which took place a few weeks ago will prevent future
plaster damage.
4. Privilege of the Floor
Brian Eden, the Village’s appointed member of the Tompkins County Environmental Management Council (EMC), is a board
member of Solar Tompkins. This past year more than 400 families entered into contracts for solar installations. Next year
Solar Tompkins is kicking off a two-year program unlike the current one. It will focus on energy retrofits which include air
sealing and added insulation combined with air and ground-source heat pumps. It is anticipated that there will be fewer
installations due to less consumer understanding of this type of heating. The program will be rolled out by mid-summer.
Promoting various on -site energy sources leads to lower municipal infrastructure costs as demand is met by alternate
renewable resources.
Mr. Eden is one of five members of the County Ethics Advisory Board. The Village has produced in five pages what they
wrote in eleven pages. An audit by the state approximately three years ago, advised some changes to the County’s Code. The
changes were made and adopted in July 2013. He believes that the Village’s proposed Code of Ethics meets all the criteria set
forth by the state; it avoids some complexities.
He concluded by encouraging the Board of Trustees to sign on to the group of municipalities opposing expansion of the
Crestwood LPG gas storage facility. The EMC and Tompkins County each passed resolutions to support the group of
municipalities opposing the expansion. It is believed by these groups that tourism and agribusiness are negatively affected by
the Crestwood facility.
Superintendent of Public Works Cross added that five or six solar systems were permitted in the Village. One of the systems
was ground mounted; it was treated as other structures would be vis à vis setbacks.
Dooley Kiefer, the Village’s elected Tompkins County Legislator commended the Village for signing on to the Freedom from
Domestic Violence resolution passed by the County Legislature. Regarding the Code of Ethics, Ms. Kiefer believes the
Disclosure Statement should not be confidential. She suggested a revision to Section 3 that would provide an exception for
elected officials whose purpose is to represent the interests of their constituents.
Mark Mecenas asked for an update on the likely date for a draft document from the Zoning Review Committee. Both Mayor
Supron and Superintendent of Public Works Cross estimate that two month’s additional work (roughly four meetings) will be
necessary to prepare the draft to present to the Board. Attorney Marcus will review the document as well as assist the Board
through the SEQR process. Mr. Mecenas voiced his opinion that the process was not serving those stakeholders with an
interest in developing the Community Corners area.
5. Report of the Mayor
a. Lighting Proposal presented by Village Historian, Beatrice Szekely:
Along with Village Preservationists, Historian Szekely has been partnering with several groups in the area. Historic Ithaca
on the house tour happening on June 15th; the County’s geographic information system technicians assisting with the
interactive mapping for the walking tour on hand-held devices; and Municipal Historians of Tompkins County to mention
a few. A $750.00 grant was received from the Tompkins County Office of Tourism to partially fund the Speakers Series.
Restoration of the lighting fixtures is an affirmation of the Village’s heritage. By happy coincidence the Village’s
Centennial coincides with Cornell University’s Sesquicentennial this year. Cayuga Heights is considered to be the
quintessential college residential community. Dorothy Cornell, granddaughter of Ezra, built the house which was
renamed Marcham Hall after a long-time village mayor. “Miss Dorothy”, as Historian Szekely likes to refer to her had
these lighting fixtures in her studio which currently functions as the court and board room. It’s possible that the rewired
fixtures will cast enough light to solve the long-time problematic lighting situation. Helen Binkerd Young, wife of George
Young, Jr. first Dean of Architecture at Cornell, may have been the architect. As a woman, she could not sign her plans.
The Board discussed the expenditure at length. During the discussion the following positions were exchanged. Marcham
Hall is no longer a residence and as the seat of government the building should not be turned into a museum. A lighting
solution is necessary for the court room; lighting experts have indicated that these old fixtures could provide sufficient
illumination. Recent modifications to Marcham Hall have been done with respect to the architectural integrity of the
structure. It is important to be careful with public funds; it is also reasonable to use public funds to enhance public
buildings.
Resolution # 7550
BE IT RESOLVED THAT: The Village of Cayuga Heights Board of Trustees authorizes an expenditure not to exceed
$2,000 for cleaning, polishing, rewiring and reassembling two light fixtures, as well as hanging them in their original locations
suspended from the ceiling of the courtroom in Marcham Hall, the Village of Cayuga Heights municipal building at 836
Hanshaw Road, in time for the June 2015 Cayuga Heights Centennial Celebration as detailed in Exhibit 2015-071.
Motion: Trustee Friend

b. Declaration of Appreciation:
Resolution # 7551
WHEREAS, the Village of Cayuga Heights is celebrating its centennial year; and
WHEREAS, the Village Historian and Village Preservationists have arranged a Centennial Speaker Series as part of
celebrations commemorating the centennial year; and
WHEREAS, a Tompkins County Community Celebrations grant has been awarded to the Village to support this event; and
WHEREAS, a postcard has been prepared announcing the event to the residents of Cayuga Heights; and
WHEREAS, Terry Marcus has applied her skills as a graphic artist to this effort.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED THAT: The Board of Trustees of the Village of Cayuga Heights expresses their
appreciation to Terry Marcus for the application of her fine skills to the betterment of the Centennial Celebration.

c. Declaration of Freedom from Domestic Violence as a Human Right:
Resolution # 7552
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED THAT: The Board of the Trustees of the Village of Cayuga Heights hereby
formally states its abhorrence of domestic violence and its support for Resolution #2014-214 adopted by the Tompkins County
Legislature “Declaring Freedom from Domestic Violence as a Human Right.” We join with other governmental and non-
governmental organizations in Tompkins County, New York State, and the United States of America to prevent all forms of
domestic violence, to assure that it is recognized when it occurs, to respond to it quickly and decisively, and to treat both
victims and perpetrators so that wounds are healed, families are made whole, and violence ends.
Motion: Mayor Salton
Second: Trustee Friend
Discussion: none
Ayes: Trustees Friend, Hamilton, Robinson, Salton, and Woodard
Nays: none
Abstentions: none
Motion carried
The Report of the Mayor’s agenda items are to be addresses in a different order than on the published agenda.
d. Code of Ethics Policy:
The Village’s Code of Ethics has undergone review by the Board of Trustees, Department Heads, Attorney Johnston and
Mayor Supron. It was confirmed that under the Code it is acceptable for any municipal officer, official or employee to use
the exercise room located in the Village owned fire station. The opinion of County Legislator Dooley Kiefer put forth
during Privilege of the Floor, that the Disclosure Statement should not be confidential was discussed. Although some of
the information on the form is publicly available, additional asset holdings are not. Attorney Marcus and Attorney
Johnston hold the position that simply by virtue of being a public official should not require one to make this type of
public disclosure. If these documents were to be the subject of a FOIL request, it can be asserted that release of this
information is an unwarranted invasion of privacy. To keep the annual disclosure from becoming unduly burdensome,
multiple lines for signature if none of the information has changed will be added to the Disclosure Statement. Another
point raised by Legislator Kiefer is the question of representation of a constituent’s interest. The resultant conversation
concluded that clarification to Section 3 is warranted and was made.
Resolution # 7553
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED THAT: The Board of the Trustees of the Village of Cayuga Heights adopts the
Code of Ethics Policy as written in Exhibit 2015-075 with such changes as agreed during the meeting held on January 12,
2015.
Village of Cayuga Heights
Code of Ethics

standards and discharge faithfully the duties of their office regardless of personal consideration. It is the purpose of this code,

B. “Interest” means a pecuniary or material benefit accruing to a municipal officer or employee unless the context otherwise
requires.
C. “Conflict of Interest” means no official, officer or employee of the Village shall have any interest, financial or otherwise,

that is in conflict with, might reasonably tend to conflict with, might be perceived to present a conflict of interest with the
proper discharge of his duties for the Village.
Section 3 – Representation of Private Interests
No official, officer or employee of the Village shall represent private interests before any department, board, office or agency
of the Village nor represent private interests in any action or proceeding against the interests of the Village or in any litigation
to which the Village is a party, if such representation results in a benefit to the official, officer or employee.
Section 4 – Disclosure of Interest
A. Any official, officer or employee of the Village, whether paid or unpaid, who has a direct or indirect financial or other
private interest in any matter being considered by the Village of Cayuga Heights’ Board of Trustees, or by any other
official or agency, officer or employee of the Village, and who participates in discussions before or gives opinions to the
Board, agency or individuals, shall publicly disclose on the official record the nature and extent of such interest.
B. Any official, officer or employees of the Village, whether paid or unpaid, who has knowledge of any matter being
considered by any board, agency, officer or employee of the Village in which he/she has any direct or indirect financial or
other private interest, shall be required to disclose, in writing his/her interest to such board, agency, officer or employee
and the nature and extent thereof.

disclosure, shall be promptly provided to the Village Clerk who shall maintain and file the disclosure as a public record.
Section 5 – Interests in Conflict with Official Duties
A. Any official, officer or employee of the Village shall abstain from making personal investments in enterprises which
he/she has reason to believe may be directly affected in decisions to be made by him/her or which will otherwise create
conflict between his/her public duty and his/her private interest. Further he/she shall refrain from discussion of any
questions in which he/she or a member of his/her immediate family has an interest.
B. An elected official shall not vote on any proposal or action where that official has expressed an interest in property which
will be affected by the adoption of the proposal or action, unless the official provides proof to the Village Clerk that
he/she has notified the owner or agent of property of the termination of that interest.
C. Public officials and employees, whether full time or part time, must avoid any action, which will result in or create the
appearance of using public office for private gain, and/or the giving of preferential treatment to any person.
D. Public officials, whether full time or part time, must avoid any action which will adversely affect the confidence of the
public in the integrity of its municipal government or the public officials involved.

of conduct:
A. Gifts – He/she shall not directly or indirectly solicit any gift, or accept or receive any gift, whether in the form of money,
services, loan, travel, entertainment, hospitality, thing or promise, or any other form, under circumstances in which it

was intended as a reward for any official action on his/her part. This restriction does not apply to gifts valued at $25 or
less in any one calendar year or the informal voluntary practice of Village residents providing Village employees with a

official duties or use such information to further his/her personal interest.

case that a majority of the members of the Board of Trustees vote in favor of doing so, with full disclosure of the
relationships, in advance of engaging in the transaction.
The Village Purchasing Policy be revised to read “All transactions shall be in accordance with the Village’s Code of Ethics as
may be amended from time to time.”
Section 7 - Distribution

6. Executive Session
Resolution # 7554
BE IT RESOLVED THAT: An Executive Session of the Village of Cayuga Heights Board of Trustees is deemed
appropriate by virtue of §105 of the NYS Open Meeting Law subsection (f) the medical, financial, credit or employment
history of a particular person or corporation, or matters leading to the appointment, employment, promotion, demotion,
discipline, suspension, dismissal or removal of a particular person or corporation.

to Open Session.
Motion: Trustee Hamilton
Second: Trustee Robinson
Discussion: none
Ayes: Trustees Friend, Hamilton, Robinson, Salton, and Woodard
Nays and Abstentions: none
Motion carried
The Report of the Mayor is resumed at 9:05 p.m.
e. GTCMHIC Municipal Cooperative Agreement Renewal (Exhibit 2015-074):
On the fifth anniversary of the effective date and on each subsequent fifth anniversary the Municipal Cooperative
Agreement (MCA) of the Greater Tompkins County Municipal Health Insurance Consortium provides for renewal.
Trustee Salton who represents the Village on the GTCMHIC Board of Directors and Finance Committee will review the
MCA and advise the Village Board of Trustees at the regular meeting on February 9, 2015.
f. Schuyler County LPG Storage Facility (Exhibit 2015-075):
The Board discussed whether or not to join thirteen local municipalities that have stated their opposition to gas storage
near Seneca Lake by passing resolutions. Joining the coalition that is seeking party status at the DEC Issues Conference in
February 2015 gives the municipalities a voice. Whether or not this situation qualifies as a home rule issue was
deliberated. The Board believes that there are multiple reasons that groups oppose the expansion of the current storage
facility. The general conclusion was not to pursue the question because not enough information is available and the issue
is not germane to the Village of Cayuga Heights.
7. Report of the Trustees
The trustees had nothing additional at this point in the meeting.
8. Report of Police Chief Steinmetz (Exhibit FYE2015-077a,b,c)
A felony indictment has been filed in Tompkins County Court and the defendant has entered a not guilty plea in the murder
which took place at Thanksgiving in the Village. Multiple agencies coordinated evidence collection; CHPD has now taken the
lead in the case. Chief Steinmetz updated the Board on a recent incident in the county that did not involve the Village in
response to a question by a trustee. A man had barricaded himself in his house, shot his long gun at a police officer and
subsequently was found to have committed suicide.
Part-time officer Hillary Forney has completed field training and is on the road on her own. She is technically on probation
until May 2015, a year after hire.
Distribution of updated police policies and procedures is going well. A few of the part-time officers have not received the data
storage device containing the Handbook simply due to coordination challenges.
Security concerns surrounding protections necessitated by the Village’s Violence in the Workplace program and vandalism at
the DPW facility prompted quote requests for a camera system. A quality audio/visual system needs a higher bandwidth than
is currently available through the dial-up connect from the DPW barn to Marcham Hall and the police department. One option
is for a system that will work with the current internet connectivity and be upgradeable. Optimally, the camera feeds would be
viewable from Marcham/Police Department.
9. Report of Superintendent of Public Works Cross
NYS DEC Audit of the Village’s Stormwater Management Plan: The NYS DEC audit resulted in a list of concerns; some
concerns are addressed by revisions in the Village’s Stormwater Management Plan (SMP). Local Law #2 of 2007 for
Stormwater Management, Erosion, and Sediment Control and Local Law #1 of 2008 Elimination of Illicit Discharge and
Detection contain six (6) topic areas for which provisions are required. The SMP describes how the municipality functions to
satisfy these laws. No public notice or hearing is necessary to make changes to the SMP. The Stormwater Coalition of
Tompkins County Plan, dated December 8, 2014 was drawn from to formulate changes to the Village’s SMP. Superintendent
Cross acknowledges for the public record that the modified SMP is available to the public and will be posted to the Village
website. The SMP requires annual review. A cover letter will be prepared. The audit response is required by the end of
January 2015.
New Building Code Laws Effective as of January 1, 2015:
NYS has passed the Truss Law that includes single-family home construction or renovation using any engineered wood
product that has the potential to fail during a fire event. The code enforcement officer must inform the fire superintendent via
certified mail in those instances when these products are used. The property owner and contractor must indicate their
knowledge of the product’s use during the building permit process. A sticker indicating that a structure contains an
engineered wood truss must be affixed to the building’s exterior; it is suggested that the sticker could be provided with the
building permit and the cost of obtaining the sticker added to the permit fee.
E-waste must no longer be discarded as part of regular landfill waste. A public awareness campaign to educate residents that
all e-waste needs to be held and placed curbside on bulky trash collection days will take place. The DPW will then segregate
and deliver it appropriately.
Notification was received that modification of the Village’s SPEDES permit has been approved.
Installation of more permanent pipe insulation in the server room has been completed. An unintended but welcome side-effect
of unwrapped basement heating pipes has been dryness throughout the building’s lower level.
An issue related to a trellis and roof overhang on Kline Road was discussed and will be addressed by Superintendent Cross.
10. Report of Clerk & Treasurer Mangione (Exhibits FYE2015-078a,b)
Resolution # 7556
BE IT RESOLVED THAT: Abstract #8 for FYE2015 consisting of Trust and Agency vouchers 58 - 70 in the amount of
$16,524.01 and Consolidated Fund vouchers 517 - 585 in the amount of $148,932.47 is approved and the Treasurer is
instructed to make payments thereon.

Honorable Kate Supron

Village of Cayuga Heights
Monthly Report January 2015
In the first month of the New Year we ran 46 calls. There were 20 calls in the Village of Cayuga Heights, 23
calls in the Town of Ithaca and 3 mutual aid requests. We had 21 EMS runs and 25 fire calls. On January
11th, a brutally cold night, we were requested to AES Cayuga in Lansing for a turbine fire. We responded a
full crew to the power generating plant to work with the Lansing Fire Department on fire suppression. We
arrived to find that one of the turbines on a 3 story tall generating units was on fire. Because of the nature of
the fire there was no water used on this fire. The attack on the fire was made with ABC fire extinguishers.
The facility had industrial extinguishers that hold 40 pounds of dry chem that we used first then the rest of
the time we used regular sized fire extinguishers. Lansing requested that we bring all of our extinguishers
from our station and then contacted several other agencies to respond to the scene with all of their
extinguishers. Working with Lansing we were able to bring the fire under control in about an hour. The
Lansing Fire Chief contacted Fulton Enterprises and they came in and refilled our extinguishers that day and
covered the cost of the refills. This was a first time at this kind of fire for many of our members.
We continued training our new members and working through checklists for most of January. Most of the
new members are very close to completing their checklists and are enrolled in the NYS Firefighter 1 class in
the spring. At the end of the month, after all students were back in town, we had our annual OSHA refresher
training. We have 54 members of the fire department at this time. On our annual training day we had 47
members at the station for the entire day of OSHA and CPR refresher. We had three members taking other
classes that day, three members out of town and one probationary member not show up. Getting 47 people to
voluntarily give up an entire Saturday to sit in a classroom going over OSHA refresher shows an amazing
amount of dedication. Anybody not at the station for the training is immediately restricted by the department
until the training is made up by sitting in front of a computer and going through the entire training and then
taking a written test. The three members who were in a class on Saturday completed the training on Sunday
morning.
We had two bunker rooms come available in January. Lieutenant David Sorensen and Leah Stoner, both
members of the department, got married in December. David was a bunker for several years and he and
Leah are renting here in the village and are still active members. Lieutenant Rob Shepherd was hired as a
paid firefighter by the Ithaca Fire Department and decided with the time he will have to spend while training
with IFD he would not be able to dedicate the time to the CHFD so he moved out of the station. He took a
short leave of absence but is looking to move back to the department after his probationary period with the
city. We hope that he does well with IFD and hope even more that his plans to move back into the district
pan out as he is an amazing firefighter and we don’t want to lose him permanently. The rooms were filled by
Firefighter/EMT Irwin Tendler and Firefighter Devon Savoy. Both are very dedicated members and we are
looking forward to having them as bunkers for several years to come.
In 2013 the NYS Health Department Council of EMS Physicians sent a letter to all Advanced Life Support
agencies mandating that, to maintain ALS status, our agency would have to carry EMS level narcotics. We
have been carrying front line lifesaving medications for years but have not had to carry narcotics. This
required us to develop a detailed SOP for the carrying of controlled substances and to purchase a medication
vault to secure the narcotics in the rescue truck. The medication vault itself was over $1,000.00. After
spending countless hours developing the policy and getting all the required signatures from the mayor,
president at CMC, the agency medical director and the pharmacist at CMC we were all set to send the
paperwork to the health department. I called the regional representative from the health department to let
him know the paperwork was on the way and he informed me that the council had determined that they did
not have the authority to mandate the carrying of narcotics without it being made a health department
regulation and that this process was being shelved for 3 to 10 years while they worked through the regulatory
process. We have decided to file the SOP that we developed and if the state eventually mandates that we
carry narcotics we will be ready to immediately apply for the license and stock the medication.
We hope that 2015 will prove as exciting and fulfilling as 2014 was. The members of this department will
continue to strive to provide top quality fire and EMS protection to our district.
Sincerely,
George Tamborelle

Re: Report of the Police Department for January, 2015
In the month of January the police department received 333 calls for service. In addition to these calls, 90 uniform
traffic tickets were issued and 8 parking violations were cited. A breakdown of the calls for service is as follows:
1 felony burglary complaint was received. The complainants reported that when they returned from an extended trip
they found their front door open and a lap top computer missing. Upon officer arrival, the residents had located their
lap top in another location which they had placed it for safe keeping. It was determined that the front door may have
blown open due to strong winds.
4 Vehicle and Traffic stops led to the following misdemeanor charges: 3 charges of Driving While Intoxicated, 1
charge of Aggravated DWI, 2 charges of operating a MV with .08 of 1% alcohol in the blood, 2 charge of Aggravated
Unlicensed Operation of a Vehicle 3rd and 1-Aggravated Unlicensed Operation of a Motor Vehicle 2nd and 1- Operating
While Registration Suspended or Revoked.
1 Local Law violation of Dog Control was received. A resident reported that a dog in the neighborhood behaved
aggressively during her daily walk. The dog ran toward the resident who was walking her own dog. The resident was
concerned that the dog may not stay on its property in the future. The officer made contact with the suspect dog owner
and advised them of the Village’s Dog Control Local Law. A copy of the written Law was also issued.
There were 5 Motor vehicle accidents investigated including a fatal involving a pedestrian and a TCAT bus. Several
adjoining agencies assisted at the scene and the investigation is ongoing.
There were no motor vehicle accidents or other incidents involving deer reported.
In summary, 7 persons were arrested and the following 10 charges were filed: 3- DWI, 1-Aggravated DWI, 2-
Operating a Motor Vehicle with .08 of 1% Alcohol, 2-Aggravated Unlicensed Operation of a Motor Vehicle 3 rd, 1-

REPORT OF THE SUPERINTENDENT OF PUBLIC WORKS
1. Dr. Them came to Village Hall to provide all Village employees a chance to get professional guidance on the
risks of asbestos exposure. After reviewing the sample/test results in the Microbac report, his assessment
was that there was likely a very low/minimal exposure. There was a discussion about whether chest exams
would be helpful to either the employees or the village. Since there didn’t seem to be a strong feeling from
the employees that they would want to have the chest exams, it seems to be an option for the Village.
Discussion of this topic at the Public Works Committee was leaning towards not making it mandatory.
2. As requested by Trustee Salton, I spoke to HSC Associates about getting a price on insulating the heating
pipes in the entire basement and/or crawl space. Marvin’s suggestion was that was not necessary, especially
if we want/need to add heat to the space for moisture control. I asked him to give me an estimate (not a
formal quote) to install insulation throughout the basement/crawl space. He estimated a range of $7,000-
$10,000. Obviously, we could do this work at a later time if it was determined to be the best solution. In the
meantime, we have blocked off the 2 vents from the crawl space to the exterior. As per building code, the
vents were required when the space was not heated, but now that it is “conditioned” space, the vents are
not required/needed.
3. We have had a few water main breaks and several failed water valves to replace in the last few weeks. I think
the surrounding towns have had similar situations. We are going to work with Bolton Point to identify “hot
spots” to work on improving next summer.
4. We are in need of replacing one of the DPW dump trucks. The current budget has approximately $75,000
remaining is various equipment accounts. We are trying to spec out a cab/chassis that can be ordered
(through a piggy-back bid) that will meet the remaining available budget. Then when the truck is delivered
after 6/1/15, the new dump box and plow can be ordered (through another piggy-back bid) from next year’s
equipment budget. Jeff will have final numbers to present at the meeting with the anticipation of getting
approval for a purchase order.
5. The transmission on the sidewalk plow has been slipping in high gear for awhile, but the guys have been able
to run it is low gear. Unfortunately, it quit working this week. The DPW crew was able to pull it out and send
it to a transmission repair shop. This has been done as an emergency purchase (may need Trustee
designation), but should save the Village $10’s of thousand dollars. The replacement value of the entire
machine is over $100,000.
6. The new construction at Kendal has started, so Jeff and I have set-up an inspection schedule in coordination
with the contractor and the testing agency that was hired by the owner. Jeff and I will alternate visits, but the
intention is to make 3 inspections per week plus coordination with the daily inspections to be done by the
testing agency.
7. Based on the revised Stormwater Management Plan that was presented at the last Trustee meeting, I have
prepared a line-by-line response to the NYSDEC to address all of the questions raised in the 2014 MS4 Audit.
The written response was submitted prior to the 1/31/15 deadline. I have received acknowledgement of the
submittal, but no official review yet.
8. The user license for the AUTOCAD software is being converted from an upgrade basis to a subscription basis.
In the past, we used to buy an upgrade for about $1,500 every 3 years. Now they are making everyone
purchase an annual subscription at a one time offer of about $2,500 (with annual renewal cost of about the
same). Otherwise, if the license lapses, they will charge a new subscription fee of about $3,300. The last
version we had to “upgrade” was from 2007 to 2011, but I am still working in the 2007 platform because it
works best with the current computer operating system. After discussion with the PWC, we decided that I
would just continue to use the current version/platform as long as it keeps working.
9. I received a quote of $4,500 from Williamson Law Book for a software program to track building permits. The
City and Town of Ithaca, and the Town of Dryden, recently purchased systems from different vendors for a
reported amount of $30,000-$50,000. There seems to be some logic to waiting for Tompkins County to see if
they can organize a unified system to work with all of the towns.
10. The DPW guys were looking for some follow-up answers to address questions about various past practice
activities. We discussed the results of the recent Trustee meeting and the information was passed on to the
employees.
11. I will get quotes for a “commercial” surge protector to be installed on the electric service at Village Hall, for
review at the next PWC meeting in March.
Subsequent to the PWC meeting, I have received the following inquiries:
12. There is a Village owned sewer ROW across various private properties between Iroquois Road and Parkway
Place. Apparently there was a sewage blockage in one of the manholes on this property where a tree had
been allowed to grow overtop of the cover, preventing the access to the blockage. One of the property
owners paid to have the tree removed so that their plumber to clear the blockage. The property owner has
since requested assistance with the cost of the work. Randy has provided counsel that the Village would be
responsible for the cost of maintaining the sewer pipe/system, but not necessarily the tree removal. He may
have more details by the time of the meeting.
13. The property at 20 Overlook used to be a 3 family dwelling, but in 1993 it was converted to a 1 family
dwelling at the request of the owners. Because there was no plumbing permit associated with the change in
occupancy, Bolton Point was not aware of the change. Therefore, they have continued bill this property for 3
minimum monthly charges. The owner has requested a rebate. The Mayor has consulted with Bolton Point
about how to address this issue.
