e. Mayor Supron updated the Board on other items.
i. Bolton Point
For many years there have been complaints about the 10,000 gallon minimum use water rate charge. The
Bolton Point Public Affairs & Policy Committee, which the Mayor chairs, has developed a proposal to
implement a $8.00 per quarter base fee with a per gallon charge for usage. The “minimum bill factor” has
been in effect because more than 50% of the users in the system typically use less than the 10,000 gallon
minimum. This purely use-based methodology will be analyzed by a consultant to see if the proposal is
workable. An RFP has been written to identify a consultant. This revision to billing will require the
Village to rework its sewer billing structure. Although this methodology encourages conservation, it may
not have the effect of lowering bills. Users at the 8,000 – 10,000 gallon usage level might see their billing
increase. Most costs at Bolton Point are fixed; every year the rate is recalculated.
The Village has a treatment dissimilar to other municipalities within Bolton Point regarding ownership of
the water line from street to house. A curb box is generally set in toward a house from the main
approximately four to five feet; other municipalities own to the curb box. Therefore property owners have
responsibility for something over which they have no control. There was recently a situation where it was
not possible to determine if the leak was the responsibility of the property owner or the Village. Isolation
of the leak’s location is made more easily when a crew can dig to the curb box and shut the water off. The
appropriate Village ordinance will be identified for possible modification.
ii. The Zoning Task Force
At the last Board meeting, formation of a Zoning Task Force was approved. During the interceding month
the Mayor has approached various individuals to discuss involvement on this committee. Fred Cowett,
possibly Graham Gillespie, Kirk Siegel, Superintendent of Public Works Brent Cross and the Mayor are
likely members. There is no prohibition against Zoning Board members serving on the committee.
Members of the public will be invited to participate. How many members the committee should have, how
many members of the public should that include, how those individuals should be selected, should those
individuals represent both the residential and business communities, and should a mailing be sent to each
household announcing formation of the committee were among related topics discussed.
iii. Election signs have been placed around the Village; it was possible to have twelve (12) signed printed for
the budget of $300 approved at the Board of Trustee Meeting on February 10, 2014.
iv. Mayor Supron plans to attend the NY Federation of Planning conference in Saratoga Springs.
7. Report of the Trustees:
Trustee Salton, as the Village’s representative on the Greater Tompkins County Municipal Health Insurance
Consortium Board and on the Finance Committee of that group, summarized key current information on the state
of the Consortium. It has a $36 million b udget with $5.5 million in reserve. By 2018 due to the Affordable Care
Act (ACA) the Village will be subject to the so called “Cadillac” tax. Plan design in the next years will be
critical. At least $0.85 of every dollar collected in premium must be use d on claims related matter; currently
$0.93 is being used. There are so many variables to be considered in plan design. Although the consortium is
self-insured with no employees, it is still tied to an insurance company which sets prices to healthcare pro viders.
All those present were encouraged to remind fellow Village residents to vote on March 18 th at Kendal.
8. Report of Chief Steinmetz: (Exhibit FYE2014-69a,b,c)
Submitted report (website – contained in Meeting Packet March 10, 2013)
a. The old police vehicle sold at internet auction for $11,275.
b. Reconfiguration of the police department space is nearing completion. Currently waiting for flooring tile to
arrive. A decision was made to purchase a sufficient amount of tile to cover all the floor area in the
department.
c. The Police Annual Report has been completed and distributed. It is also available on the Village website.
d. An applicant’s resume was distributed prior to the meeting. Chief asked for authorization to make an offer of
employment to Hillari Forney. The Public Safety Committee had reviewed this applicant’s qualifications.
Resolution #7429
BE IT RESOLVED THAT: Officer Hillari M. Forney is to be offered the position of part -time officer for the
Village of Cayuga Heights and that her hourly rate will be set per the current Police Benevolent Association
contract. The appointment is contingent upon an acceptable background investigation.
Motion: Trustee Riesman
Second: Trustee Salton
Ayes: Crooker, Hamilton, Karns, Riesman, Robinson, and Salton
Nays: none
Abstentions: none
Motion carried
e. Chief Steinmetz extended his heartfelt thanks to Trustee Karns and Trustee Riesman for all their help to him
in his first years as Chief. They will be missed.
9. Report of Superintendent of Public Works Cross:
a. Update on Phosphorus level approval. No report yet; it is likely that the Village will not get a decision until
the DEC determines if this TMDL process is going to happen.
b. The Kendal Project will probably be constructed in two phases. He tries to avoid temporary certifications of
occupancy; this situation may merit a variance from that policy. There will likely be demolition of some
carports over the summer with construction of the new facility during 2015.
c. The Village was audited by the NYS DEC for review of its Stormwater Management Programs. The Village
is required to maintain these programs based on the 1998 EPA Stormwater Phase II law which in 2003
delegated a portion of the programs to the DEC which in turn filtered down to municipalities like the Village.
In 2007 we passed our own local laws. This audit was a new process for the Village and for neighboring
villages. A report is to be forthcoming.
d. The Village’s Stormwater Management Plan is how we deal with our own laws and how the Department of
Public Works executes “good housekeeping” tasks. The Village needs to acknowledge that there is a Plan.
The Mayor is in receipt of the Stormwater Management Plan. Part of the process is to gener ate an annual
report measuring how well the Village adheres to its own stormwater plan. One of the goals is to keep spring
runoff which contains salt and grit, to a minimum. A component of the plan is training and public outreach;
each year the Village contributes $1,500 to a local coalition in Tompkins County which performs this
through the Floating Classroom. The coalition performs this function better than a single municipality could
on its own. An example of public participation is the site-specific stormwater management assessment
during a Planning Board Site Plan Review Public Hearing.
e. NYSEG/EnerPath, subsidized through NYSERDA presented an opportunity that seemed promising. The
Village is subject to the prevailing wage law which increased the payb ack to sixty (60) months.
10. Report of Clerk & Treasurer Mangione (Exhibit FYE2014-63a,b)
Submitted report(s) (website – contained in Meeting Packet March 10, 2013)
Resolution #7430
BE IT RESOLVED THAT: Abstract #10 for FYE2014 consisting of Trust and Agency Vouchers 103 – 112 in
the amount of $16,599.19 and General Fund vouchers 688 - 758 in the amount of $138,481.06 is approved and
instruction is given to the Treasurer for payment thereon.
Motion: Trustee Karns
Second: Trustee Riesman
Discussion: In response to a query by Trustee Karns, it was explained that one of the security cameras used in the
Clerk’s office required replacement.
Ayes: Crooker, Hamilton, Karns, Riesman, Robinson, and Salton
Nays or abstentions: none
Motion carried
11. Report of Attorney:
No report
Mayor Supron recalled that she had been asked if the CHPD respond to rabid animal calls. It was explained that
just because a primarily nocturnal animal is seen during the day, it does not mean that the animal is rabid. The
CHPD does respond and makes a determination.
TimeWarner Cable is not releasing PEG Access funds in the amount of $61,000 that has been withheld from
Village of Cayuga Heights cable bills. Public Access has been unable to replace non -functional equipment for
the last two (2) years. Mayor Supron will coordinate with the Town of Ithaca and City of Ithaca to urge
TimeWarner to turn over these monies. TimeWarner has not segregated these funds and seems to be
stonewalling the Access Committee.
Chief Steinmetz updated the Board on Policies and Procedures releases in the Police Department

Village of Cayuga Heights
Monthly Report – February, 2014
We had 48 total calls for the month of March. There were 20 calls in the Village of Cayuga
Heights, 18 calls in the Town of Ithaca and 10 mutual aid requests. We had 30 EMS runs and 18
fire calls. Early in the month we responded to sever al serious mutual aid fires. We were
requested to assist at a trailer fire in Freeville, an industrial fire at a concrete plant in Varna and a
business that was on fire in Danby. In all instances the firefighters from Cayuga Heights
performed very well and were instrumental in the extinguishment of these fires. We again
responded to 106 Cayuga Heights Road, the Sigma Chi Fraternity, in March for an incident with
multiple code violations. We stayed on scene until the members of the fraternity took down the
decorations covering smoke detectors and sprinkler heads and made the building safe for
occupancy again. We are again working with Brent and Joe to work through the code issues as
well as the Office for Fraternity and Sorority Affairs at Cornell to try to correct the continual
problems. I have been contacted by the president of the fraternity to do a fire safety public
education session with them at the house. We are putting a program together and will try to sit
down with them in the near future.
We had an intense month of training in March. We did our three recruit training sessions over the
course of two weekends. We usually try to spread the training over three weekends but with the
class and break schedule at Cornell we opted to condense it to two. With the small group it
worked well and everybody is now working on checklists. We trained on low visibility searches
at the mall training facility on a cold Wednesday evening. We used the mall facility to search in
blackout conditions in a large area. The EMS training for the month was on airway management
and respiratory medications. All of our basic EMTs are able to administer nebulized albuterol.
Due to the recent increase in heroin use the NYS Department of Health has brought the
medication Narcan down to the basic EMT level for nasal administration. We are developing
training for this and will bring all of our providers up to speed on the procedure.
Our annual installation banquet was a success again this year. It was very well attended and a
good time was had by all. All of the officers are now sworn in and performing duties. We will
have an officers meeting some time in April and develop a set of goals for the upcoming year. We
did this last year and it really kept us focused on what we felt we needed to accomplish through
the year.
Most of our major tasks for the spring are done. We are looking forward to the weather warming
up and getting the grounds at the station cleaned up. It will be good to open windows and doors
and freshen the station up a bit. We are expecting one bunker room to come open in May when a
current bunker graduates and leaves Ithaca. We have a couple of people who have expressed
interest at this time.
Sincerely,
George Tamborelle

Re: Report of the Police Department for February, 2014
In the month of February the police department received 294 calls for service. In addition to these calls, 121 uniform traffic tickets
were issued and 11 parking violations were cited. A breakdown of the calls for service is as follows:
1 felony complaint of burglary was reported. Residents stated that an unauthorized person entered their unlocked home while they
were away. Articles reported missing included computer related items and jewelry. There are no suspects at this time and the
investigation is ongoing.
6 misdemeanor complaints were handled including 1 criminal mischief, 1 theft, and 4 vehicle and traffic incidents. The criminal
mischief complaint involved a local fraternity reporting damage being done by an unknown subject to a stained glass window on an
interior door of the house. There are no suspects and the complainant did not wish to seek charges. The theft complaint was r eported
by a resident who stated that his gym bag, containing several clothing items, and a Swiss Army knife were taken from his unlocked
vehicle overnight while it was parked in his driveway. 2 days later the complainant followed up with this department stating that he had
recovered all of his missing property, with the exception of the knife, from a nearby outside location. Of the 4 vehicle and traffic
incidents, one began after the officer on patrol witnessed an erratic driver drive through a red light. After conducting a v ehicle stop the
driver was found to be driving under the influence of alcohol and drugs. An arrest was made and a total of 3 misdemeanor charges
were filed including DWI 1st, DWAI Drug and an Associated Combined Drug/Alcohol charge. The 3 remaining V&T incidents all
stemmed from traffic stops. After investigation the drivers were found to be driving on suspended licenses. 2 were charged with
Aggravated Unlicensed Operation of a Motor Vehicle 3rd, while the last, based on prior driving history, substantiated the upgraded
charge of Aggravated Unlicensed Operation of a Motor Vehicle 2nd.
3 reports for penal law violations were handled. One incident was dispatched as a fire alarm coming from a local fraternity house.
Upon investigation a tenant of the house was found to be in possession of alco hol and marijuana. An arrest was made and charges of
Unlawful Possession of Alcohol by a Person Under the Age of 21 and Unlawful Possession of Marijuana ensued. The remaining two
violations were for reports of trespass. In one instance a resident reported that her daughter’s ex-boyfriend had entered her home
unauthorized. The Officer’s investigation showed no evidence that anyone had been in the home and the homeowner also disclos ed
that the suspect had a key to the home. The homeowner was advised that if she no longer wanted the suspect to access the house she
should have the locks changed. In the second trespass complaint it was reported that a vacant home in the village was being occupied
by an unknown subject. After the property’s caretaker followed up with associated contacts the complaint was unfounded.
2 reports for the local law violation of In the Park After Hours were handled. Both involved subjects being in Sunset Park during the
overnight hours of 10 p.m. and 6 a.m. 2 individuals were issued appearance tickets.
There were 5 Motor vehicle accidents investigated, including 1 reported as involving a deer.
1 other deer incident was handled. A resident reported an injured deer on her property. Upon arrival the officer observed the deer to
have a minor leg injury however the deer immediately fled the area.
In summary, 8 persons were arrested and the following 11 charges were filed. 1-Unlawful Possession of Alcohol by a person < age of
21, 1-Unlawful Possession of Marijuana, 1-DWI 1st Offense, 1- DWAI Drugs, 1-Combined Influence Drugs/Alcohol, 1-Aggravated
Unlicensed Operation of a MV 2nd, and 2-Aggravated Unlicensed Operation of a MV 3rd, 2-LL In the Park After Hours and 1-Mental
Hygiene Law.
Over the course of this month police department members took part in the following trainings and events: Officer Brandon Manheim
attended the 2 week Instructor Development Class from the 3rd through the 14th. On the 25th and 26th, Officers James Landon and
Chad Lansing attended Property/Evidence Room Management training in Syracuse.
The full time officers worked a total of 20 hours of overtime and the part time officers worked a total of 135 hours.

Various Grant Opportunities
During the last month, I was notified by both Tompkins County and the NYSDOT of various
project based grant programs that have been recently announced. I have investigated both
programs and have the following information:
The Tompkins County program is called the Stream Corridor Restoration & Flood Hazard
Mitigation Program. There is a limited amount of money available and it is directed towards rural
stream bank projects, but includes any project that is included in the County's Hazard Mitigation
Plan (HMP). The Village's Winthrop Drive Drainage Project (WDDP) is included in the HMP.
Therefore, I have prepared a WDDP project summary (see attached) that I sent into the County
for consideration. They pointed out that the HMP is in the process of being approved by FEMA
in accordance with the Disaster Mitigation Act of 2013. Therefore, they need the Village to pass
a resolution of support (see attached), that will make the County and Village eligible for FEMA
funds. There is a Pre-Disaster program that helps fund projects like WDDP to prevent future
flooding.
Through the 2012 federal transportation bill: Moving Ahead for Progress in the 2151 Century
(MAP-21), the NYSDOT will have funds available as part of the Transportation Alternatives
Program (TAP). The TAP program offers grants funds to various non-vehicle transportation
projects such as sidewalks and Safe Routes To School (SRTS). On 3/26/14, NYSDOT
conducted a TAP training seminar that was mandatory for anyone who may apply/administer a
TAP project in the future. Unfortunately, the time frame to make an application is very short and
there are very strict rules about what information and data are to be submitted with an
application. Therefore, it does not seem likely that we will be able to put any applications
together before the 5/7/14 pre-application deadline. It is my understanding that this program is
only offered every 3-5 years, so planning for a future project would be in our best interest to be
ready for the round of funding.
Example of projects that we may want to invest in preliminary planning could include a SRTS
project down Wyckoff or Kline Roads, and any expansion(s) of our sidewalk system. The SRTS
project will require close collaboration with the Town of Ithaca and maybe the City of Ithaca. I
have initiated that topic with the planners at both the town and city. Although Ithink they will be
helpful and cooperative, it seems they are very pre-occupied by the projects they are already
preparing for this round of funding.
Another project that I initially thought about for TAP funding is the "squid" curbing project.
Unfortunately, I am not sure that we could meet the "non-vehicle" requirement, plus they have a
minimum project size of $240,000. This project will not be close to that amount.

ENGINEER'S REPORT

Tompkins County Planning Department
Brent Cross, PE Village Engineer
Winthrop Drive Drainage Project
BACKGROUND: A portion of an un-named tributary (NYSDEC Stream #68) runs parallel with
the section of Winthrop Drive between N. Triphammer Road and the intersections of Burleigh/
Simsbury Drives in the Village of Cayuga Heights. During high intensity storm events, the flow in
this section of the stream exceeds the capacity of the embankments and causes flooding to the
general neighborhood. There are more than a dozen properties that are impacted.
PROPERTIES INVOLVED: Although the stream corridor runs parallel with Winthrop Drive, it
runs across 4 private properties outside of the Village's 50' ROW. The following properties are
involved:
4-3-21:
4-3-20:
4-3-12:
4-3-11.1 :
lppolitto, 2215 N. Triphammer Road
Demarest, 105 Winthrop Drive
Piery, 1 Winthrop Place
Russell, 205 Winthrop Drive
CONCERN: Since the stream corridor runs across multiple properties, it is difficult to coordinate an
embankment project due to each property owner's abilities such as technical, financial and construction
administration. At this time, the Village DPW's ability to assist in mitigation of this problem is limited by the
fact that the DPW budget is funded by public taxes and can't be spent on private property.
SOLUTION: Based on several discussions with the property owners, they are willing to issue the Village
a 10'-15' wide public easement along Winthrop Drive so that the DPW can assume the maintenance
responsibility of the stream channel/embankments.
IMPLEMENTATION: The Village has already done field surveying and preliminary design work to identify
the scope of the project. Other than simply working to improve the flow area within the channel, and
installing erosion protection on the embankments, the single biggest aspect of the project is to
replace/relocate the culvert that conveys the stream under Winthrop Place. This is a large diameter pipe
and needs to be extended an additional 100' to protect one house that is particularly low relative to the
stream bed elevation.
ESTIMATED COST: Although a specific list of materials has not been generated, a preliminary estimate
is $50,000 based only on the value of the materials such as culvert pipe, gravel backfill, topsoil/seedi ng,
asphalt patching, etc.. Most/all of the labor and equipment for this project would be handled by the
Village DPW and would be consider as "in-kind" services. The value of the labor is approximately
$25,000.
