VILLAGE OF CAYUGA HEIGHTS
CLERK & TREASURER’S REPORT
NOVEMBER 21, 2016
1. Communication:
The next print newsletter is being developed for early December. Articles or ideas for articles should be submitted
to Deputy Clerk Podufalski. Suggestions for eNewsBlast items should be submitted to Information Aide Johnson.
Several positive comments have been received regarding the biweekly eNewsBlasts.
2. Computer System Administration:
Installation of the new anti-virus was easily completed for the Clerk’s office, the DPW, and the Engineer. Issues
were encountered when interacting with the Police Department’s Spillman software. Bitdefender was chosen due
to its ability to identify ransomware in addition to all other standard malware and virus detection. Ransomware has
been labeled as a primary threat to small municipalities by the OSC. HPM is working closely with the PD,
Tompkins County IT, and Spillman to correct these issues. Bitdefender is shown to have been configured to work
with Spillman in the past.
3. Reporting and Audit:
Justice Court onsite audit work was completed November 8, 2016. All remaining village financial audit questions
have been addressed.
4. Policies:
NYS recommends that each municipality review, modify as necessary, and reapprove its Policies on an annual
basis. For those areas where policies have not been written and enacted, it is advised that they be written and
adopted as soon as possible. A draft Fund Balance Policy is under review by the Finance Committee.
5. Budget: no modifications required
6. Debt:
The principal payment on a fire station bond was paid via wire transfer on November 14th in the amount of
$70,000. An interest payment of $9,000 was paid via ACH. An equivalent payment of principal and interest will be
remitted on December 14, 2016. Following these payments each bond balance will be $230,000 with total debt on
the firestation of $460,000.
7. Revenues & Expenditures:
October 2016 Bank to Book Reconciliation was conducted by Trustee & Deputy Treasurer Biloski.
Revenue and Expenditure Reports are available for YTD through the first five months of the Fiscal Year Ending
