Mayor Marcham
gave his
report and placed it
on file in the Village Office.
In connection with the request for monetary support.of the Tompkins County Area
Development Corporations's fund drive, Tuustees agreed that although it would be appropriate
for the Village to participate, they wished to have more information „and instructed the
Mayor to write Mr. Van Houtte, President of the Corporation.
Mayor Marcham referred to an announcement from the Tompkins County Youth Bureau stating
that Division of Yotith funds are still avails le to Tompkins County for the balance of
1985 and these funds are being offered as mini- grants to stimulate new or expanded programs.
In order to be eligible to request funds, 59% of the total cost of the project must be
provided in matching funds by the municipality. It was suggested that if the Community
Association has a need for the funds and is willing to provide 50% of the cost of the
project, the Village will agree to submit an application in its behalf.
Fire Chief Miller presented his report which is on file in the Village Office.
Jeff Silber, member of the Cayuga Heights Fire Department, spoke briefly about the plan
of the Rescue Squad to hold a simulated emergency drill to take place in early May some-
where within the Fire District. Chief Miller stated he had cleared it with Bill Scott of
the Ithaca Agency and was assured by him that there would be no problem from the stand-
point of insurance coverage so long as those participating are members of fire depart-
, ments which save insurance coverage. Details of traffic control will be worked out with
the Police Chief.
Chief Mc Ewen commented briefly about the new agreement which has been signed between
the Town of Ithaca and the SPCA for dog control services and stated he will study the
contract with the Attorney and will report to the Board if the contract is not in order.

Minutes of Regular Meeting - 3/15/85 Continued
Forester Pimentel reported that he had received a letter from William Herbster of 903
Wyckoff Road in which he stated that six pine trees in Sunset Park (on Village property)
are obstructing his view of the lake and suggests action be taken on one of the following-
1.
cut down all six trees, or 2. remove two trees and take 10' off the tops of the
remaining four at Mr. Herbster's expense. The Board agreed to wait unitl the trees
in the area leaf out before taking action on Mr. Herbster's request.
In connection with a request from Molly Shoemaker for Board permission to hire two
teens for work in the Community Center under the Youth Bureau's Summer Jobs Program,
question arose as to whether the recent Supreme Court ruling that municipalities must
abide by the minimum wage law would apply in this situation. The Board granted per-
mission to the Association for the hiring of two teens with instruction to investigate
the minimum wage question.
