7. Report of Asst. Superintendent of Public Works Frisbee (Exhibit 2014-77)
Mr. Frisbee extended his welcome to new board members, Maryann Friend and Linda Woodard. There were no
questions on his submitted report. He concluded by sharing that the Village has had four (4) water main breaks over the
cold weather season which is fewer than in some past years and fewer than other municipalities. Salt usage was under
the Village’s allotment by forty (40) tons. This is again a favorable comparison to other municipalities who went over
their allotments this winter.
Brian Eden, who represents the Village on the Tompkins County Environmental Management Council, was in
attendance and expressed his hope to be able to attend more Board of Trustee meetings. Over the past year he has been
attending weekly Monday evening meetings of the Solar Tompkins group. Solar Tompkins facilitated around one
hundred and fifty (150) solar installations this past year; their goal is to reach three hundred (300) in the coming year.
He hopes that some of them will be in Cayuga Heights.

b. Tree City USA:
The Village earned the designation of Tree City USA through the hard work and dedication of Village Forester
Andre Bensadoun and the Shade Tree Committee with support from the Public Works Committee, Superintendent
of Public Works Brent Cross and Assistant Superintendent of Public Works Jeff Frisbee.
A plaque celebrating this achievement was hung by Mayor Supron and Mr. Bensadoun.
The Tree City USA designation requires reapplication each year and the Shade Tree Committee has some projects
in mind that will work towards the Village’s requalification. Trustee Woodard asked if it’s possible for a property
owner to partner with the Village by tree cost-sharing in the right-of-way space adjacent to them. A discussion
took place and a recommendation was made to ask the Shade Tree Committee to put together a thoughtful plan to
suggest guidelines.
The Arbor Day celebration this year will focus on a tree planting at the Cayuga Heights Elementary School.
Mr. Bensadoun is attending a full day session covering safety concerns related to the planting of trees.
