Monthly Report March 2016
Still maintaining a hectic pace at the station with another 50 call month. There were 31 calls in the Village of
Cayuga Heights, 19 calls in the Town of Ithaca and 2 mutual aid requests. We had 33 EMS responses and 17 fire
calls. The month was routine with a large number of EMS calls. We were requested to Muriel Street on the 19th of
the month for a tree that had fallen onto a house with a gas leak. On our arrival we found that a large pine tree in the
yard had fallen onto the roof of the home causing some damage. The force of the tree hitting the house knocked the
regulator off the gas meter causing the natural gas to flow freely from the pipe coming out of the ground. The gas
was quickly shut off and the house was checked for damage. We did respond to Landon Road in Brooktondale to
assist on a large field fire. Several years ago we received a grant from the NYSDEC to purchase equipment for brush
firefighting and although we do not get many of these calls in our district we are able to assist other departments in
the area with manpower and equipment.
We held all three Spring Recruit Classes over two weekends in March. We did this over two weekends and one
weeknight to fit the classes in before Cornell’s spring break. It was a tiring couple of weekends but the nine recruits
did very well. All of the recruits finished the recruit classes and the required AHA CPR certification class. We are
moving on to checklist work again. It seems like a never ending cycle. Early in the month we did an EMS training
to get our BLS providers familiar with the ALS equipment on the rescue truck so they are able to better assist during
calls requiring ALS interventions. We did a couple of drafting trainings at the inlet by the training tower. There are
times when we will be in areas outside our district that may require us to draft water from standing sources or use
portable ponds to supply water for fire attack. Our district in the only one in the county that is 100% hydranted so
our apparatus operators do not get to perform this skill often. It was a great month for training. It seemed that every
time we scheduled training the weather was perfect.
We noticed a leak in one of the hydraulic lift cylinders on the ladder truck. We had the same problem with the
cylinder on the opposite side two years ago and worked with E-One, the truck builder, and Texas Hydraulics, the
manufacturer of the cylinder, and got the problem fixed with no cost to the department. In speaking with both
companies regarding this current problem we decided that Texas Hydraulics would do the repair at no cost if we
covered the cost of shipping. This was a good option for us as the part is far out of warranty. We have had
conversations with KME about the delivery time for the new engine and they are still planning on an early June
delivery. KME could face penalties if the truck is not delivered by June 9th and we are keeping a close eye on their
progress.
The DPW is working on the front pad project at this time. As the month closes we are planning on another couple
weeks before the project is complete. We are running the heavy trucks out of the back of the station during the
project and things seem to be working well. We truly appreciate the amount work the DPW is putting on this
project.
We are looking forward to the spring. Our Annual Installation Dinner is April 16th at the Country Club of Ithaca and
all trustees are invited. The morning after the banquet several of us are traveling to Indianapolis for the Fire
Department Instructors Conference. This is the largest training conference in the country and offers a full week of
hands on and classroom training. This is the first year that we have attended this conference.
Sincerely,
George Tamborelle
Fire Chief/Fire Superintendent

Re: Report of the Police Department for March, 2016
In the month of February the police department received 402 calls for service. In addition to these calls 79 uniform
traffic tickets were issued and 3 parking violation was cited. A breakdown of the calls for service is as follows:
One Felony Burglary complaint was reported. A resident reported that his unsecured home was entered during the
daytime hours of 1200 and 1500 and that several items were determined to be missing, including a Game Console
and jewelry. There is a possible suspect in this case and it is still under investigation.
8 penal law misdemeanor larceny offenses were handled. 7 of the Larceny complaints consisted of Theft from a
Motor Vehicle. In these incidents residents reported that their unsecured vehicles had been entered unlawfully
during the overnight hours. Residents stated that several items were missing, primarily loose change, sunglasses, and
flashlights. There is a suspect in these cases and the investigations continue. In the remaining complaint, a resident
at Kendal reported that her computer laptop, including its accessories, was taken from a common area within the
facility. There are no suspects in this case and Kendal Administration is also investigating.
9 vehicle and traffic stops led to 12 misdemeanor charges including: Aggravated DWI, Driving While Intoxicated-
1st, Operating a Vehicle with .08 percent of alcohol in the blood, Aggravated Unlicensed Operation of a MV 2nd,
Aggravated Unlicensed Operation of a MV 3rd, and Suspended Registration.
8 Penal Law Violations were reported, 2 for Harassment and 6 for Trespass. The first reported harassment involved a
subject stating that a client/patient had sent harassing emails and been threatening while under her care. The case is
still under investigation. In the second incident the complainant ended a relationship with the suspect. The suspect
continued to contact the complainant against the CO’s wishes. The officer contacted the suspect to advise him that
no further contact should be made with the complainant. No further contact has been reported no charges have been
requested by the complainant as of this date. 5 of the Trespass complaints consisted of residents stating that their
unsecured motor vehicles had been entered overnight. No items were reported missing and there is a suspect in these
incidents. The investigations continue. In the last report of trespass the complainant stated that she thought someone
had walked onto her property during the overnight hours. The CO reported that footprints had made a path up to the
doors of her home and of 2 secured vehicles that were in the driveway. CO states that it does not appear that entry
was gained into the home or vehicles however $150.00 is missing from an envelope that was on the counter in her
kitchen. It is not known if the missing cash is associated with the trespass. This is believed to be related to the other
vehicle trespasses and larcenies from vehicles.
5 Local Law violations were received, 4 for Noise and 1 for Soliciting. 3 of the 4 noise complaints came in as loud
parties. In the 3rd complaint a citation was issued for the Village’s Noise Ordinance. In the final Noise complaint,
tenants in an apartment complex were reporting loud music coming from a neighboring apartment. This has been on
ongoing problem between the involved parties and the landlord is in the process of settling the situation. The
soliciting report involved a resident stating that 2 unknown subjects had come to her door to solicit religious
materials. The resident asked the subjects to leave her property; she also did not observe any documentation of
authorization to be in the village. Officers attempted to locate the subjects but they were gone upon officers arrival.
1 Warrant arrest was made. The Tompkins County Sheriff’s Department executed a traffic stop in which they made
contact with an individual who had an active warrant out of Cayuga Heights Court. The deputy turned the subject
over to CHPD officers where the subject was arraigned and remanded to TCJ on bail.
There were 2 Motor vehicle accidents investigated, none of which involved deer.
EXHIBIT 2017-008a page 2 of 2
There were no other deer incidents reported.
In summary, 13 persons were arrested and the following 16 charges were filed: 1-Aggravated DWI, 1-Driving While
Intoxicated-1st, 1-Operating a Vehicle with .08 percent of alcohol in the blood, 1-Aggravated Unlicensed Operation
of a MV 2nd, 4-Aggravated Unlicensed Operation of a MV 3rd, and 4-Suspended Registration.

17th and 18th Chief James Steinmetz attended Leadership and Operational Planning Training offered by the New
York Tactical Office Association. The week of March 14th through the 18th police clerk Jackie Carr attended Public

Sincerely,
