Minutes of the meetings of February 9, March 19, April 2nd,and 18, pre- viously furnished the Trustees in mimeograph form, were approved as written without reading. 2. The following bills were aunroved for payment - See Schedules 13, 13S,and 10F. 3.. The Tax Warrant for 1956-57 taxes was duly signed, by the Mayor, attested by 't the Clerk and.delivered to the'Treasurer:who gave'a receipt to the. Clerk for the same (V.L.5ea.111).. 4. The Mayor noted a complaint from resident Frank Freeman of speeding on Triphammer Road, which was referred to the PoliceComi.ssloner. The Trustees confirmed previous action to include in the tax bill mailing, a suitable leaflet giving information relative to fire and police calls, Village Office location and calls, and amplified to include listing of Village Officers and information relative to refuse dollection, building permits, zoning matters and the like. The dormant matter of certain changes in the zoning of the Village was dis- cussed, and it was the desire of the Board that the Mayor check with Prof. Mackesey as to his wishes to continue on the Zoning Committee, and report back to the Board to de- termine the next step. 5. The Village Engineer had reports on a number of matters as follows: a) Sewer Service in Texas lane extension - Present sewers end at Village Line on Texas Lane. About 4 or'5 lots in the Town of Ithaca on Texas Lane extension could be served by the Village Sewer.. Attorney Harry Hamilton has requested such service., Engin er Crandall raised the legal question, and Hamilton replied that V.L. Sec. 260-@ Provided the necessary'authority for the Village. Upon recommendation of the Engineer, the Trustees took action as follows: VOTED to agree to contract for sewer service with those fringe lot owners in Texas Lane extension in the Town of Ithaca, as determined by the Village Engineer, VOTED that as do not know cost now, the charges are to be determined later. VOTED that in any case, the charges are to have all the factors of cost in a lot and i property of similar size and value in the Village, plus a surcharge of twenty -five 'percent (25 %). VOTED that the Clerk request permission from the Town of Ithaca Board for the Village to lay sewer main and manhole in Texas lane easterly from the Village line to the turnaround of said road as defined on the subdivision map of this area prepared by Carl Crandall, together with such easement or tight of way as necessary for location of such sewer line and manhole within the boundaries of the said road.' b) Use of Fire Station for election purposes. Pursuant to a request of the Town of Ithaca, in connection with the proposed rearrangement of voting districts of the Town, theTrustees VOTED to grant election district #5 of the Town of Ithaca permission to use the Village Fire Station Apparatus Room for election purposes, subject to approval of the Fire com- missioners. (This approval granted verbally 5/9 through Trustee and 1.:. Fire Commission - er.Simpson after polling all commissioners). Matter of storage of voting machine to be handled by the Town with the Fire Commissioners. c) Erection of television cable by Cerrache. After some difficulties.in getting Mr. Cerrache to apply for permits under the 1954 action taken by the Trustees _ in granting him permission to erect television cables in the Village, the .Engineer reported he had worked out permits to cover Wyckoff Road, Cayuga Heights Road as far as Hanshaw Road, Devon Road and N. Sunset Drive, in the aggregate. amounting. to 16 road crossings at $10.00.or $160.00 which Mr. Cerrache had paid. He.also,turned over a certificate of insurance covering public liability and property damage and filod same with the Clerk. . ' I . d) Acceptance of Country Club Road.. The long standing situation with regard to this road has been resolved with the following: 1) McElwee has agreed.to replace broken sidewalk on Triphammer Road at driveway with 6" thickness walk and clean out the ditch. 2) McElwee will replant in proper places small spruce dug aut in excavation for sewer connection for the sorority job. 3) Colbert poplar tree plantings not to be replaced and those remaining to*be pulled out because of hazard to sewer line. 4) Condition of road responsibility difficult to resolve between damage by McElwee and poor job by Colbert. Engineer to request Town of Ithaca to scarify, oil and let rest until fall of 1936 before applying black top. Estimated cost about $300. McElwee's share to be ' $150 and he is to send Village check for that amount. 5) The m%nginoer now recommends final action in acceptance of the road, which has been deeded to the Village, therefore IT WAS VOTED RESOLVED that conditions previously set for acceptance have now been met and that Country Club Road, as shown on the Village Map of January 1, 1954, and as deeded by quit claim deed of September 29, 1932 be and hereby is accepted as a Village Street. It was also VOTED that the Engineer be instructed to take the steps outlined above for immediate repair and final surfacing of the road. e) Sanitary matters in general - Citing an example of a resident who asked for help in connection with septic tank trouble, the Engineer pointed out to'the other officers of the Village that the Village Board has no rights under the present laws on. sanitary matters, all authority being vested.in the County Health Department.' f) Water Service to Warren - Hanshaw Road Area. Representing the informally organized Northeast Water District, 11rof. Byron'Saunders, by letter of April 29, 1936, has requested the Village to agree to supply City of Ithaca water through Village mains to that area. lie has agteement from the City of Ithaca to furnish the water. Consul- tation with the County Health Department resulted in their recommendation that water be given priority over sewers. The Engineer reviewed the several problems and factors which needed to be considered in connection with this request, which could be listed as; 1) The recent Fire Underwriter's Report of inadequate water supply and pressure in certain areas of the Village points up the need to study this situation, and in any case the Village could not undertake to supply water outside the Village if it would worsen the Village supply and pressure. 2) The Village now has permission from the City (granted in 1954) to extend water service.to substantially the same area involved in Saunder's request. 3) It would probably be best in the long run to combine Village and Town water supplies and facilities. 4) The legal matters of handling such a combined undertaking by the Village and Town need to be studied. 5) The necessary planning and engineering, a combined Village and Town under- taking, would best be handled here in the Village rather than by an outside firm such as lozier. Upon discussion, the sentiment of the Trustees was that they were inclined to agree to furnish water if it is feasible, but could give no answer until certain questions raised above were resolved. As to engineering, the possibility of using T. G. Miller, Jr. under direction of'Engineer Crandall was tentatively approved by the Trustees, as was the use of Attorney Newman on the legal matters. In order to initiate action, the Trustees VOTED to direct the Clerk to answer Professor Saunder's letter, stating in effect that the Trustees were favorable to consideration of his request,. but that a definite answer would of necessity be held up until questions raised by the engineering and legal problems could'be resolved; VOTED authority to the Village Engineer to engage engineering help necessary to investigate water pressure and related problems raised by the recent report of the Fire Underwriters;. 5 VOTED to request Attorney Newman to investigate the legal matters that would be raised by combined action of the Village and Town on water supply and report his findings to the Board. g) Sewer extension and treatment plant - Plotzker has submitted first bill as noted, has ono rig working, expects to have three shortly, and proposes to lay sewer fast enough,. about 2,000 feet a week, to meet a completion date of December let. T4t"*a There are still several private rights of way agreements to be completed, with property owners who are out of town. Most people are taking quite well the inconvenience caused by excavation in the streets and on private property. (By Attorney Newman) On Liberman condemnation, the four day trial resulted in favorable action by Judge Stagg who issued an order granting the Village immediate occu- pancy of the property on April 16, 1956 with no security required. The unresolved factor is the amount of compensation to Liberman. The Judge has appointed three commissioners for appraisal, Everett H. Rankin, Andrew McElwee and Harry Kerr. For the Village; Newman and Crandall have employed three expert witnesses to appear before the commissioners to testify as to the value and consequential damages, if any, namely J.D. Gallagher, Frank Howe and Kenneth Drake. (By Trustee Simpson) Temporary financing by additional bond anticipation notes appears to be desirable; with sale of bonds at a later date. There is currently' available about $50,000 on present notes, and inorder to provide funds, he recommended borrowing $200,000 split equally between the'First National Bank of Ithaca and the Tompkins County Trust Company.

The Engineer re- ported'on bids received to supply a truck to the Village, pursuant to duly advertised requests for bids according to the Engineer's specifications. Examination of 5 ?.bids- sh6wed Walsh &-Son.Chevrolet to be the qualified low bidder on a *truck.of the required specifications, and the Trustees VOTED to award the purchase contract for one Chevrolet truck to Walsh & Son Chevrolet. i) Building Codes - The Fire Underwriters have submitted information rela- tive to building, fire protection and electrical codes. The Engineer suggested that the adequacy of the new State Building Codes be investigated also in this connection. The Clerk was instructed to write the State Building Code to determine what might be available, as the now State Codes may be adopted simply by resolution of the Board, eliminating time consuming and costly hearings, advertising and printing of individu- ally adopted codes. 6. The- Treasurer's Report for the period ending April 30, 1956, as submitted, showed balances as .follows: General Fund $32,186.57 Capital Fund - Fire Department 382.61($9000 available on $60000note.) Capital Fund - Sewer ;1317.95($6000 " " 15000 " ) 050000 " " 50000 " ) It was VOTED to accept the Treasurer's report. 7. The Clerk reported: Election by Fire Commissioners for year 1956 -57, Mr. Francis J. Quinlan as Chief Engineer and Mr. Burr Ripley as Assistant Engineer. Financial report of Cayuga Heights Fire Company No. 1, Inc., as of March 2, 1956 shaved balance of $555.29 including item of $165.80 set up in the Special Benevo- lent Fund. In addition, the Fire Commissioners submitted their annual report on condi- tion and activities of the fire department for the past year, which the Clerk has filed. The New York Board of Fire Underwriters, Bureau of Electricity has filed thru Towner Electric, with the Clerk, Certificate S 132342, dated 513156, finding on examin- ation that the electrical equipment of the new Fire Station and office building is in compliance with their requirements. The Clerk.was instructed, on bringing it up, to table the Pond & Myer estimate on tree planting and trimming for 1956 -57, until the next meeting. The Clerk reported that the Village Office was moved from 903 Hanshaw, Road to the new building at 194 Ploasant Grove Road on April 3, 1956.• Two steel storage cabinets, one conference table and six folding chairs have been purchased and received. Suitable window draperies and a mimeograph table - dabinet have been ordered. A request from an outside tree spraying concern for Village work was ' referred to the Engineer, who.noted that the Village work had been satisfactorily handled in previouu years by Arborists, Inc. (Wayne Thomas) a local concern. One of the advantages of this arrangement is that they are also available for private tree and shrub spraying for the residents, which has worked out very well. The Trustees suggested that the Engineer proceed as previously on this work. 8. Attorney Newman reported that a new local law would present the Village an opportunity to join *ith the County and Town in a self insurance program of workmen's compensation insurance covering all Village workmen and volunteer firemen. Rates are based on assessed valuation, unrelated to number of employees, nature of the work, or amount ofpayroll. A resolution of the Board would be required, and the deadline date is July 1, 1956. The need for study of present costs•where the Village is insuring the Village workmen under the State Insurance Fund'; and the volunteer fire- men and drivers under a private company policy purchased through The McKinney Agency, as compared to the proposed.self insurance plan, was noted by the Trustees and they VOTED to instruct the Treasurer and Attorney to look into this matter and report back to the Board at the June meeting with their recommendations. 9. In addition to the election and annual reports of the Fire Commissioners, there was an informal report on a motorcycle fire at Hanshaw And Warren Roads, to which Ithaca City Fire Department failed to respond, and which was handled by the Cayuga Heights Company through mutual aid. This brought up some discussion of a possible contract arrangement with the Town to cover the area east of the Village. It was pointed out that adequate coverage of this area which has no hydrants, would require .a 2000 gallon tanker, a piece of equipment not needed for protection within the Village. Trustee Sharp reported that Professor Cares will go ahead with landscaping plans for the Village Fire Station lot. It was suggested that he and Cares confer with the architect and Francis Quinlan regarding domestic and parking uses of the rear yard in planning screened area.and also the access cross road from the Community Corners buildings. 10. The Police Commissioner report for the month of April showed 21 complaints received, 3 arrests and 12 warnings. He also recommended that Devon Road at North Sunset Drive be made a stop street, and Village ordinance change to effect this rec- ommendation. The Clerk noted that several other stop street proposed ordinance changes had never been formalized with the required process of hearings, publication and final adoption. On consideration the Trustees VOTED to accept the monthly report of the Police Commissioner and instructed the Clerk request the Police Commissioner to bring all the accumulated traffic ordinance propos -. als up to date with a recommended reading of the ordinance for presentation to.the Trustees at an early date. The Trustees noted several.spots of congested parking, particularly on Highland Road south of the five corners and on Wyckoff between Highland and Over- look Roads, and requested that the Police Commissioner and Police Officer Fowler look into this matter for possible corrective measures. 11. See report under (5) Sewers - for sewer financing standing committee re- port, and bond anticipation note resolutions adopted for temporary financial needs. 12. Pursuant to Village Iaw Sec. 126 -4 IT WAS VOTED RESOLVED that the Treasurer be authorized to transfer appropriations from unexpended balances within the 1955-56 budget to take care of overdrafts as may occur on specific budget items. 13. Pursuant to V.L. Sec. 81, IT WAS VOTED RESOLVED that the Troast,rer be required to publish an annual financial statement for the fiscal year 195.5 -56.. 14. Date set for the next regular meeting - June 12, 1956. 15. Adjourned at 11:30 P.M. wv"-41 W. S. Randal Clerk I
