5. Historian’s Annual Report (Exhibit 2017-099)
The Historian’s Annual Report is prepared corresponding with the calendar year, as requested by Tompkins County
Historian, Carol Kammen. Village Historian, Beatrice Szekely offers the mayor and trustees the following remarks about
who their antecedents were on the first village board formed 100 years ago and what they were doing in the late winter of
1917. In accordance with New York State village law the board of trustees at that time consisted of a president and two
trustees who were empowered to make the municipality’s laws. An interim board, having been elected immediately after
incorporation of the village in June 1915, served until March of 1916 when a new board was elected to serve for one year.
The same three men served on both the interim and first full-year village boards, all were Cornell faculty members.
President and law professor C. Tracey Stagg served a total of four one-year terms until 1920; the trustees were professor of
entomology Glenn Herrick and dairy scientist William Stocking who succeeded Professor Stagg as president, also serving
four terms. There were two other elected officials, a treasurer who was Cornell math professor John Tanner, and tax
collector, Walter Bells, the golf pro at the Ithaca Country Club then located on Highland Road. Cayuga Heights developer
Jared Newman was appointed by the board as street commissioner, and entomology professor Oskar Johannsen was the first
appointed village clerk. All these men were unpaid volunteers with the exception of Collector Bells who received 1 cent for
every dollar collected up to a maximum of $1 per tax parcel.
On March 1, 1917 President Stagg and Trustee Stocking met, likely in the former’s Boardman Hall office at the Cornell law
school, to go over a report from Treasurer Tanner on expenses from the village’s first fiscal year that had just ended on
February 28. The March 1916 to February 1917 treasurer’s report had receipts of $941.41 turned over to Clerk Johannsen to
fund the first village budget. Of this $890 had been raised by Collector Bells from the first round of Cayuga Heights
property taxation and the balance from county mortgage taxes and cash on hand. The property tax was levied by the village
board at a rate of 3 mills, or $3.00 per $1,000 of assessed valuation, on some 70 land parcels, roughly half built on to date,
with a total assessed valuation of just under $280,000.
How was the budget spent? Twelve initial streetlights were installed by the Ithaca Gas & Electric Company at a cost of just
over $100, and $200 was spent by Mr. Newman to take care of walkways and the dirt roadways including $8 for a street
sign. Within “general expenses” a payment of $250 plus $5 interest was made to Treasurer Tanner who had loaned the
village that amount to cover expenses before the first taxes were collected. The village corporate seal in use today was
purchased for $3.50; costs related to the filing for the 1915 incorporation were recorded as having totaled $8. An
unexpended balance of $330 was held over.

EXHIBIT 2017-106 page 2 of 8
Cayuga Heights was in startup mode a century ago with a population of only 119 when the election of the interim village
board following incorporation took place. Using an online-based inflation rate calculation, $940 in 1917 was worth roughly
$19,000 in today’s dollars. Very small when compared with the budget that our current mayor, trustees and village
department heads are building for the upcoming fiscal year starting June 1, to be partially funded by taxes paid this summer.
Historian Szekely presents a report prepared by Patricia Longoria, Deputy Historian concerning the ongoing Map Archive
Project.

Historian Szekely notes that it is imperative to identify all other Village documents require safeguarding. Many have already
been moved to the Laserfiche document storage system and are used from there on a regular basis. However, some of these
printed documents have historical importance to the Village and will need environmentally controlled storage to survive.
The Historic Preservation Committee proposes to acquire, through donation when possible, books written by authors residing in
Cayuga Heights. Carole Schiffman will lead the effort to assemble a modest collection to be housed in the display case in the
Marcham Hall court room. The case will be fitted with a lock since the books are for display only; they are not intended as a
lending library.

6. Report of the Mayor
a. Security Cameras: Public Works Yard, Clerk’s Office, and Fire Station Lot
Mayor Woodard introduces the question of whether cameras should be installed at the DPW and Fire Station. Chief
Steinmetz interjects that he plans to request a larger DVR which could handle the addition of cameras in these
locations. The Clerk’s office has a simple camera to video system which allows the Clerk and Deputy Clerk to see who
enters the building and proceeds to the second floor. There are also two panic alarm buttons which connect to
Tompkins County 911 Dispatch. Neither of these systems are located at the reception desk. DPW management
questions whether there is a need for cameras at the barn facility. Ideas for less costly deterrents are mentioned. Until
pricing estimates are available the project cannot be evaluated.
b. Backup Generator: Marcham Hall
Mayor Woodard expresses her support for a backup generator for Marcham Hall. There have been attempts in the past
to provide it with backup power, however that solution relied on action by the police to set up the generator. This is
problematic because during a power outage event, such as an ice storm, they are occupied with other responsibilities.
Superintendent Cross will contact generator sales companies and determine if they provide design services as part of
their proposed solution. Updates to the building’s wiring may be required to implement a backup power solution.
c. Zoning Review
The Zoning Review Committee (ZRC) is almost done with the proposed rewrite of the Village’s zoning code. It will be
moved to the Planning Board for review within a time frame to be determined. Once the Planning Board is finished and
it is presented to the Board of Trustees, one or more public hearings will be scheduled.
7. Report of the Trustees
a. Street Lighting
Trustee Salton notes that there are several nonfunctioning street lights throughout the village. The street lights are
owned by NYSEG. When there is a reported outage, the information is forwarded to the police department. An officer
will confirm the outage and get a pole number during an overnight shift. The problem is then reported to NYSEG. It
can take several weeks or even months before a repair or bulb replacement occurs.
8. Report of Police Chief Steinmetz - Submitted reports (Exhibits 2017-100 a, b, c)
There are no questions on the Chief’s submitted reports, however the first sentence of the report should reference January,
not December. Chief Steinmetz explains that the 139 hours of full-time officers’ overtime is partially due to five days of
bereavement leave.
Regarding the injured deer report, it is not known if the deer was tagged. The standard process of informing Paul Curtis at
Cornell about the deer is always followed, enabling the deer population study to be updated.
Officer Brandon Manheim has been awarded the Medal of Valor at the Tompkins County Sheriff’s Annual Banquet. The
recognition is for his actions during the events following the murder of a UPS driver at the Ithaca Walmart. Officer
Manheim identified the vehicle on Route 13. He then participated in the subsequent chase and apprehension of the suspect.
The suspect shot a firearm at him, fortunately he was not injured. Officer Manheim will again be recognized as Small
Agency Officer of the Year for Tompkins County DWI enforcement. The Cayuga Heights Police Department will again
receive Small Agency of the Year for the third year in a row. On May 20th, Officer Manheim and a deputy who was also
active in the Walmart murder event will be recognized by the Badge of Honor Association. The Chief has been actively
working on an awards policy to recognize longevity, life-saving, and valorous actions.
Attorney Marcus arrives at this time.
9. Report of the Assistant Superintendent of Public Works Wiese (Exhibit 2017-101)
Sandwich style signs have been created and are being used to announce right-of-way brush trimming. Public response has
been positive; residents are contacting the DPW for additional information. A significant amount of brush has been cleared
so that the sidewalk plow will be unimpeded.
A web-based work order tracking system is discussed. ASPW Wiese has developed an Excel spreadsheet to track work
orders, however a system which prompts email messages to appropriate personal and can sort and produce reports is
preferred.
10. Report of the Superintendent of Public Works Cross (Exhibit 2017-102)
Installation of the new belt-press at the Waste Water Treatment Plant (WWTP) is progressing. The belt-press has been
delivered and is in place. It should be up and running within the month. There has been no response regarding the Village’s
report to the DEC.
9
EXHIBIT 2017-106 page 7 of 8
GHD Engineering has proposed a WWTP inspection and plant-wide analysis. In some instances, $25,000 planning grants
are available from NYS. The Village average income exceeds the limit to be considered for one of these grants. Since the
WWTP treats waste from other communities, it may be possible to factor the average incomes from those communities to
the extent that a grant may be obtained. It is recognized by all parties that the influent building needs attention. An
engineering analysis of the entire facility with recommendations for steps to update and expand it would be advisable.
The GHD proposal is tabled until additional information on the possibility of receiving a planning grant is researched.
A draft permit required by NYS DEC between the Village of Cayuga Heights, Village of Lansing, and Macom has been
prepared by Attorney Marcus. It will be presented to Macom soon and due to its length and complexity some modifications
are anticipated. The target is to have the permit ready by the March 20, 2017 Board of Trustees Meeting.
Superintendent Cross has been seeking quotes on other WWTP projects. A relighting project and a full alarm system project
are among them. The cost range for relighting is in the mid-$30,000s. The first quote for an alarm system was over $40,000.
There may be NYSEG rebates available for the replacing old lighting fixtures with more efficient ones.
A letter from the of Ithaca WWTP has been written to the NYS DEC identifying itself as a stakeholder in regulation of Total
Maximum Daily Load (TMDL). Cornell University created a computer model of Cayuga Lake and provided it to the DEC.
Draft TMDL regulation is expected from the DEC by the end of March. As a member of the Water Resources Council and
the Tompkins County Soil and Water Conservation District, the Village is aware of the DEC’s target date. It is also known
that the DEC does not intend to involve stakeholders in drafting the regulation; a comment period will occur. The new and
different manner of measuring phosphorus in the lake will affect the Village’s testing protocols, its permit, and will be
highly sensitive to fluctuations in flow due to wet weather conditions.
The Police Department restroom remodel is underway.
Tompkins County Assessment organized a meeting for code enforcement officers with Tom Knipe from the Tompkins
County Tourism. ASPW Wiese and Supt. Cross attended. Room taxes are being collected from Airbnb, which in turn
collects the taxes from its member properties. Establishment of the tax took place without input from code enforcement
which causes problems in municipalities where short term rentals are regulated or prohibited.
Inclusion in the Agenda packet, of a new monthly report from Yaw’s Environmental on WWTP operations is noted.
11. Report of the Clerk & Treasurer Mangione (Exhibits 2017-103a, b)
The number of eNewsBlast subscribers is now at over 400. Jeffrey Walker, the new Deputy Clerk has started. The
Tompkins County Workers Center has approved the Village’s Living Wage Certification as a Living Wage Employer.
Budget work is on schedule.

Village of Cayuga Heights
Monthly Report March 2017
February was steady with 41 runs for the month. We had 17 calls in the Village of Cayuga Heights, 17 calls in the Town
of Ithaca and 7 requests for mutual aid. There were 15 EMS calls and 26 fire runs. The excitement for the month was a
call on Cayuga Heights Road for a 2 year-old who had locked herself in the bathroom. The house was old with locks that
only operated from the inside of the door. We were able to pop some trim off the door frame and then spread the door
and frame enough to clear the latch. Luckily it was humorous for the family and the little girl was not traumatized from
the event.
February was a great month for training. With the brief warm spell, we were able to get out and pump some water with
those going through driver training. We finished up and put two new drivers on the road. The probationary members
finished their checklist work with several checklist parties and many hours of one-on-one time with senior members. We
started the fall with 14 probationary members and 7 of them completed the required work. Several of these new members
are enrolled in the BEFO class being held now and several others are signed up for the summer sessions being held at the
fire academy and the Cortland County Boot Camp Program. Lt Berger took the department over to the mall in February
to do the search training that had been scheduled in December and cancelled due to the weather. The mall training facility
is nice because the theater complex has several different useable locations. There are thousands of square feet of open
area that we can use to do large or small area searches. We are always grateful for this space in which to train. EMS
trainings for the month consisted of patient lifting and safe moving as well as an update on the new BLS drug protocols.
HSC Associates finished the heating project at the station this month. All the thermostats have now been replaces and all
of malfunctioning relays have been removed from the system. We have discovered that the air handler that heats the gym
has a bad sensor board in it that causes it to intermittently run on hot keeping the gym at an uncomfortable 98 degrees.
This temperature is great for a quick weight loss workout but we did find members of the department complaining. We
replaced the old exterior lights above the truck bays that were no longer working with new LED units. These new units
are much brighter and more energy efficient. We are looking at the possibility of replacing the florescent interior lights
with LEDs and Brent recommended the same contractor as the waste water treatment plant. The contractor came to the
station and we spent and afternoon going through the entire station and determining numbers of lights and usage. We will
hopefully have a good idea before budget time as to whether this project will be cost effective with the potential for
NYSEG rebates.
The annual installation dinner will be at the Country Club of Ithaca on April 22nd at 5:30 in the evening. We have a full
slate of officers for the upcoming fire department elections with no contested positions. The chief officers are not
changing but we will have three new lieutenants for the upcoming year.

George Tamborelle

Public Works Committee Meeting Follow-up
Superintendent of Public Works Brent Cross
1. The terms of the contract with Macom and the Village of Lansing have been reviewed by both. Macom
has given their acceptance of the contract and I think that Village of Lansing will be discussing it at
their Trustee meeting soon too. This is a highly detailed agreement that was a combination of input
from GHD, Randy, Dave Dubow (V/Lansing) and myself. The general concept is that VCH is
obligated by EPA to regulate the industrial discharge, but since it comes from a source in the VL, they
are agreeing to give VCH authority to regulate/enforce Macom directly. Once the contract is signed by
all 3 parties, I will issue an operating permit from the WWTP. (see attached contract)
2. We currently have a contract with GHD to prepare a headworks analysis that studies the nature of the
flow into the WWTP and then determines what could/should be done to increase the treatment
capacity of the plant. As part of the recent NYSDEC inspection report, several items that are located in
the influent building (sometimes known as the headworks building) were identified as being old and
due for replacement/upgrade. GHD has since provided a quote to amend their services to include a
study of the physical aspects of the headworks building and make recommendations about how to
replace/upgrade this part of the WWTP. The fee for the proposed amendment #1 is $4,500. Shortly
after we received the initial amendment #1 proposal, we received a revised amendment #1 proposal to
expand the scope of work to include a physical review of the entire WWTP for $27,000. Since the
NYSDEC grant program is not currently available for this study, I recommend that we move forward
with the $4,500 project to show our commitment to the NYSDEC about maintaining the WWTP in
good working condition. GHD said that there would be an associated reduction in the cost of the full
plant review if we decide to do so later. (see attached amendment proposal)

VILLAGE OF CAYUGA HEIGHTS
CLERK & TREASURER’S REPORT
March 21, 2017
1. Administration:
Training Deputy Clerk Walker is ongoing. He has been able to assume several tasks; he is handling walk-in trash
tag sales, answering general FAQs, sorting mail, processing water and sewer payments, processing invoices, and
preparing deposits. Training on payroll and several components of the accounting program have been
introduced.
Several requests for information on the Teamsters dental program, GTCMHIC coverage, and enrollment changes
were processed.
2. Records Management:
Deputy Clerk Walker and Information Aide Johnson are in the process of adding metadata to files in Laserfiche.
The shared drive on the village owned server stores fewer files. The effort to migrate files from the server to
Laserfiche is ongoing.
3. Communication:
eNewsBlasts are sent every other Friday. Feedback continues to be positive. Information Aide Johnson will be
responsible for collecting articles and formatting the print newsletter. The goal is to produce the next newsletter
by the last week of April or early May.
4. Computer System Administration:
On March 7, there was a domain problem which affected the website and email to and from cayuga-
heights.ny.us addresses. Internal email was unaffected. HPM techs and Tim Kessler from Insero were able to
identify the problem with our web host. The website and external email was disrupted for approximately 12
hours.
5. Reporting and Audit:
The OSC released the Village’s fiscal stress scores on March 6.
The table below provides the financial and environmental scores and designations for the most recent and two
previous years. A score of no designation means that the municipality is not deemed to be experiencing fiscal
stress.
