3. Report of Assistant Superintendent of Public Works Frisbie: (Exhibit FYE2015-040)
Asst. Superintendent Frisbie had excused himself from the meeting to retrieve information regarding purchase of a
camera.
4. Privilege of the Floor:
Opinions regarding deer management were presented by Aurora. Her written remarks are attached to these minutes.
- Assistant Superintendent of Public Works Frisbie rejoined the meeting. It has been a hectic season for Public
Works due to needed scheduling of storm damage repairs along with regular annual construction work. Heavy rains
caused culverts throughout the Village to become clogged with fill and debris; significant effort has been required to
clear these waterways. Approximately eighteen (18) culverts remain to be cleared. The DPW facilities area has been
put in order. Preparation for leaf season and snow removal is underway. Work on Klein Road has been delayed due to
necessary coordination with NYSEG to perform gas line relocation. Once utility work is complete the road can be
opened to traffic within 24 hours. Following last month’s meeting, traffic flow in the Klein Road area was assessed by
police and it was determined that the traffic pattern should be maintained through road stabilization.
Village policy regarding driveway culvert repairs was clarified. As schedule allows, labor can be provided to replace
damaged, blocked, or washed-out driveway culvert piping. The property owner is responsible for the cost of pipe and
other supplies as may be needed.
A quote for a camera system with a pan-tilt mechanism to allow for pipe inspection was presented. Any pipe including
sewer pipes of larger than 3” in diameter can be easily examined. Currently, services have been contracted through
Brain Drain or the Town of Ithaca’s camera has been borrowed. The nature of providing 24/7 coverage means that the
ability to perform an appropriate inspection may not be available as needed. There is $22,000 budgeted in the Sewer
Fund Equipment account plus Sewer Contingency. The sewer flusher can be used to pull the 300’ line into position.
Although safety is the primary impetus for this purchase, it will save both contractual expenses and time.
Resolution #7515
BE IT RESOLVED THAT: Village of Cayuga Heights Board of Trustees approves the purchase of a camera system
for the purpose of pipe inspection at NYS OGA pricing from the Sewer Fund account G8120.200 with any unbudgeted
amount to be transferred from Sewer Contingency.
Motion: Trustee Robinson
Second: Trustee Friend

5. Report of Historian Szekely (Exhibit FYE2015-041)
Historian Szekely spoke using her notes distributed with the meeting packet. She expressed concern that current
Village documents may not be as easily researched as those prior to the digital age. Collections of documents which
have been gifted to Cornell contain historically significant references to the Village of Cayuga Heights. Planned events
for the Centennial are estimated to cost approximately $5,500. The sum will be raised from various sources including
the now defunct Community Association, the Historian budget, and grants.
Chandeliers stored in the attic of Marcham Hall originally hung in Dorothy Cornell’s “studio” which is now the Court
and Board Room.
It was agreed that Superintendent of Public Works Cross would present a portion of his report on lighting at this
juncture enabling Historian Szekely to participate. A mock-up example of a lighting fixture which could be built is
hung in the Court Room. This proposed solution constructed by Chris Lowe emulates the look of the structural beam
which rings the room. The estimated cost for construction is $3,300. Pleasant Valley Electric would charge $3,800 to
install the fixtures. Preservationist Carole Schiffman feels strongly that covering the beam should not be an option. It
was agreed that a lighting designer would be consulted for alternate ideas.
6. Report of the Mayor
A response has been received by TCCOG regarding extension of the Shared Services look-back date. The letter was
not encouraging and expressed the opinion that it was in 2012 that municipalities became serious about shared services
as a cost cutting measure. It was in 2012 that Gov. Andrew Cuomo instructed municipalities to focus on shared
services. It is believed that centralized administrative services may result in the greatest savings. Clerk-Treasurer
Mangione will be attending meetings to explore cost savings in the area of information technology, finance, personnel,
and tax collection. Superintendent Cross will be asked to attend a meeting on code enforcement and permit tracking. A
draft of county municipalities’ coordinated response is expected by year-end. The Board will need to pass a resolution
naming Tompkins County as its lead agency before May 2015.
All Village policies require annual review and modification. The first of these to have been updated is the Credit and
Purchasing Card Policy. A few changes have been suggested to the draft which was distributed to Department Heads
and Trustees. In the Internal Controls section a request to add “or their designate” was discussed and agreed upon. It
was pointed out that adding “the purpose of the transaction” in the Receipts section would allow for improved audit of
expenditures.
Resolution #7516
BE IT RESOLVED THAT: The Village of Cayuga Heights Board of Trustees adopts a revised Policy for
Credit/Purchasing Card Use with modifications as discussed and as follows.
Motion: Trustee Robinson
Second: Trustee Hamilton
Discussion: none
Ayes: Trustees Friend, Hamilton, Robinson, Salton, and Woodard
Nays and Abstentions: none
Motion carried
VILLAGE OF CAYUGA HEIGHTS
POLICY & PROCEDURE HANDBOOK
Credit/Purchasing Card Policy
OFFICIAL USE ONLY: The Village of Cayuga Heights (VCH) may provide a credit/purchasing card to an employee for
use in connection with their VCH responsibilities. This card may be used only for official business to acquire goods or
services that are to be paid for by VCH. No personal purchases, reimbursements, or purchases for other entities (e.g.
Cayuga Heights Fire Co.) are permitted.
PURCHASE LIMITS: The cards are limited to $500 per transaction per day and $2,000 per month. Limits must be
observed. Multiple transactions with a single vendor for the purpose of bypassing these limits are not permitted. In special
circumstances the limit may be reset for an approved transaction. Prior authorization from the department head and Clerk &
Treasurer must be obtained in advance in order for the limit to be lifted with the vendor.
SALES TAX: Sales tax should not be paid on VCH purchases. The VCH name on the cards indicates that this is a
purchase paid by the Village, and is exempt in accordance with NYS law.
RECEIPTS: Documentation in the form of charge and/or itemized receipts shall be provided to the Deputy Clerk within
three (3) business days. Receipts should indicate the VCH account to which they are to be charged, the purpose of the
transaction, and be signed by the department head.
POSTING FOR PAYMENT: The Deputy Clerk shall post receipts in the accounting software to the appropriate vendor for
creation of a monthly voucher. Each invoice shall be a line in a voucher, and each line must reconcile to the monthly card
statement. Description shall be in the form of “VENDOR: Items” (e.g. P&C: paper towels). No payments shall be made
prior to the receipt of the monthly statement. Statements with all backup shall be posted in time for the monthly abstract
approval and payment.
INTERNAL CONTROLS: The Clerk & Treasurer, who is responsible for payment review and check issuance, shall not
have a credit/purchasing card. Credit/purchasing cards are to be used by the individual named thereon or their designate,
and neither cards nor card numbers shall be shared for use by others.
COMPLIANCE WITH POLICY: Accepting the credit/purchasing card indicates agreement of the terms herein. Any use
of the credit/purchasing card in violation of this policy may result in revocation or disciplinary action.
POLICY OVERSIGHT: The Clerk & Treasurer is responsible for the credit/purchasing card program and for ensuring that
card use does not violate VCH Purchasing Policy.
___________________________________________________________________
The Tompkins County Legislature recently adopted a policy regulating use of email addresses provided by the county as
opposed to use of private email addresses. The policy states that unless a waiver is acquired by an individual legislator by
virtue of attendance at specific training, that all county business must be conducted on the county provided email address. It
is necessary for a trustee to maintain any village related emails for six years. Therefore even after a trustee leaves office
they are responsible to provide records related to a FOIL request. An idea was set forth for each elected official to carbon
copy (cc) or blind carbon copy (bcc) any email to their Village email address. It was agreed that the Communication
Committee will convene to develop a timely, systematic approach to a policies review with particular attention paid to
purchasing/procurement and information technology policies.
Fire Superintendent Tamborelle joined the meeting. He had just returned from transporting a very ill child to an
emergency room in Syracuse.
Superintendent Tamborelle and Police Chief Steinmetz drafted Proposed Local Law 2014-D to provide for issuance of an
Operating Permit (OP) during certain public assemblies. The City of Ithaca has used this mechanism to control unsafe
behaviors for years. The OP hangs in public view next to the Occupancy Certificate and applies to any structure where fifty
(50) individuals can gather. It is revoked when a hazardous condition is identified with the building; it is not for situations
involving an individual’s unlawful act (e.g. underage intoxication). This law is proposed as an effort to cut down on
malicious call-outs. One fraternity has been responsible for 93 calls in the last 4 years, 31 have been for malicious reasons.
Once the OP is removed from a fraternity house, representatives of the fraternity will be required to meet with Greek Life
at Cornell and Cayuga Heights Public Safety (Fire and/or Police) prior to reissuance. It is envisioned that at program
origination, in conjunction with a successfully passed annual fire inspection, the OP will be issued. There is no fee for
issuance of an OP however it is proposed that a $100 fee would be charged for reissuance. The OP period is for one year.
Attorney Marcus advises that all components in the proposed law which refer to state building code should be removed. It
is not anticipated that a police officer or volunteer firefighter will need to be a certified code enforcement officer in order to
revoke an OP for a structure. Rather it would be revoked for an obvious danger to life-safety. Superintendent Cross
clarified that the OP process is not for regulation of private residence gatherings; it is only for public gathering spaces. The
proposed law will undergo refinement and be re-reviewed by the Board of Trustees prior to scheduling a public hearing.
Reports of Trustees
Trustee Woodard reported on her review of the Treasurer’s monthly reconciliation process. She described a Williamson
Law Book Accounting programming issue that has caused balance problems in the past. A method for insuring that the
monthly Consolidated Disbursement Check Register Report is accurate has been identified. The August bank to accounting
reconciliation was reviewed this month by both Trustee Woodard and Trustee (Deputy Treasurer) Robinson and was found
to be in balance.
Trustee Woodard went on to share information she gathered on the Emergency Plan and a template that Tompkins County
has for area municipalities to use. She will be meeting with county staff to go over the template. Another source for a no
cost template is through Hartwick College. Trustee Salton is looking into acquiring that documentation.
Trustee Salton reports that the Greater Tompkins County Municipal Healthcare Consortium (GTCMHC) has built a 5%
premium increase into its budget for 2015. GTCMHC is applying to NYS for a waiver to the requirement to purchase
aggregate stop loss insurance. The waiver would save $71,000. Individual stop loss cannot be waived however, but by
raising aggregate deductibles savings of up to $250,000 could be realized. The claims-paid percentage has risen by between
8% and 8.5%. Reserves will have to be used if this trend continues. Educating insureds to make wise life-style and care-
provider choices will contribute to controlling the claims-paid percentage.
Trustee Robinson pointed out the inclusion of year-to-date revenue and expenditure reports in the meeting packet. He
recommends that all the trustees review the data at least quarterly. Items concerning Marcham Hall were covered during the
recent Public Works Committee Meeting. Computer equipment was damaged by an electrical power surge. Pleasant Valley
Electric has been responsible for the building’s electrical system for several years. Asbestos in the basement is of concern.
Steps to inspect, test, and likely remove it are ongoing.
Report of Chief Steinmetz (FYE2015-042a,b,c)
There were no questions on the Chief’s submitted report.
When asked about progress on identification of a burglary suspect, Chief Steinmetz shared that the likely perpetrator was
apprehended during a break-in located in the Town of Dryden. The District Attorney does not feel that sufficient evidence
exists to move forward with burglary charges.
Report of Superintendent of Public Works Cross
Eric Munson, the asbestos inspector responded via email with a preliminary remediation plan. The next step is to be a
limited clean-up followed by air quality testing. Estimates for final removal of all asbestos with and without replacement of
the building’s heating plant will be sought.
Estimates to repair Marcham Hall’s slate roof have been requested. Two widely disparate estimates have been received;
once additional assessments are received they will be presented to the Board.
Pleasant Valley performed a shut-down of Marcham Hall’s electric systems. They found a few loose connections. There
was a discussion about the building’s circuitry and challenges of modernizing the existing system.
The Planning Board will address a site plan review for a sorority house kitchen upgrade at 509 Wyckoff at its next meeting.
Report of Clerk & Treasurer Mangione (FYE2015-043)
A request for late tax payment penalty waiver by Jill & Michael Johnson due to a significant postal delay was presented.
Village property owners need to be aware that taxes are due each year during the month of June without penalty. The Board
took no action and a letter will be sent to the Johnson’s to let them know. It is felt that these requests should no longer be
brought before the Board.
BE IT RESOLVED THAT: Abstract #4 for FYE2015 consisting of Trust and Agency vouchers
22 – 30 in the amount of $16,247.65 and Consolidated Fund vouchers 184 – 249 in the amount of $248,352.20 is approved
and the Treasurer is instructed to make payments thereon.

Honorable Kate Supron
Board of Trustees
Village of Cayuga Heights
Monthly Report – September, 2014
September was a steady month with 47 calls. There were 17 calls in the Village of Cayuga Heights, 25
calls in the Town of Ithaca and 5 mutual aid requests. We had 22 EMS runs and 25 fire calls. Late in
the month our crews responded to Graham Road in the Village of Lansing for a reported apartment fire
in the middle of the day. We were able to immediately respond E202 to the scene with a full crew.
We were the first engine on scene and the crew made a rapid entry to the apartment to find it full of
heavy smoke. It was determined that an unattended heat source had caused the carpet and part of a
couch to ignite. The fire was quickly brought under control and we ventilated the smoke from the
apartment.
September was a good month for training. Early in the month we took everybody over to the Crash
Fire Rescue building at the airport for a refresher on airport responses in anticipation of the airport
disaster drill scheduled for October 11th. We went over response procedures and alarm assignments to
the airport. The next two trainings we held were in preparation for the joint FAST training with
departments from three counties. We did training on large area searches and downed firefighter
packaging and movement. We are working closely with departments from Tompkins, Cortland and
Cayuga Counties to improve procedures for rescue of downed firefighters. Many departments are
developing team and procedures. Our department has had a team in place for the last eight years so we
are teaching the other departments the way we operate as well as picking up tips from them. These are
lively and very hands on strenuous trainings. The FAST drill was held the last Tuesday of the month
in Cortland this time. Our senior members spent countless hours in September getting the spring
probies through their checklists. We have accepted 10 new members into the department after our fall
recruit drive and training will start in early November.
Our apparatus is in good working order at this time. We have L231 back in service and it is showing
no further leak problems from the lift jack. I am still in the process of working with the manufacturer
E-One to get some reimbursement from them for the work performed. U243 had a rust problem on the
driver’s side. Dodge finally came through after many phone calls and emails and covered the cost of
the body work. The work is done at this time.
We have had two of the air handling units at the station fail in September. We have been repairing this
unit for several years. The units tend to freeze and crack causing water leaks. We have been working
closely with HSC Associates for some time now and they are having a difficult time procuring repair
parts for these air handlers. At this time I have gotten a quote to replace the air handlers. We will
salvage parts from one unit to repair the other one and then completely replace the second unit. We
will continue to work with HSC and will plan to budget for replacement of units in the next fiscal year.
Several members of the department again traveled to New York City for the Tunnel to the Towers Run
on September 28th. The race was first run in 2003 and the Cayuga Heights Fire Department has
participated every year since.
We are looking forward to a safe and productive fall.
Sincerely,
George Tamborelle
Fire Chief/Fire Superintendent

Department must take place to discuss the reasons for the suspension or revocation.
A $100.00 fee will be required for any reinstatement of an operating permit.
Each event that results in the suspension or revocation of an operating permit will require the
reinstatement process outlined above prior to further use of the area of public assembly.
In any case that an area is used for public assembly without an operating permit validly issued in
accordance with this Local Law, any subsequent application for an operating permit for such area will
be deemed to be a reinstatement of a revoked operating permit, and subject to the fees required to be
paid, in accordance with Section VIII(B) above.

AGREEMENT TO CHANGE WATER RATE SCHEDULE
THIS AGREEMENT to change Water Rate Schedule is made as of the 1st day of January, 2015,

EXHIBIT I
SCLIWC - BOLTON POINT WATER SYSTEM
2015 WATER RATE SCHEDULE
EFFECTIVE JANUARY 1, 2015
RATE STRUCTURE:
The flat rate charge per 1,000 gallons shall be non-fluctuating and equal to four dollars and thirty five
cents ($4.35). This rate is equal to three dollars and five cents ($3.25) per 100 cubic feet. The foregoing
rate will be the rate charged for all regular quarterly bills sent after January 1, 2015. Actual or base
consumption may occur prior to January 1, 2015.
MINIMUM BASE CHARGES:
Notwithstanding the foregoing rate structure, the following minimum base charges shall be applicable to
the meter size indicated below, for regular quarterly bills sent after January 1, 2015. The table below
shows the amount of water consumption that is permitted before the minimum base charge would be
exceeded:
BASE MINIMUM BASE
METER SIZE CONSUMPTION CHARGE
(INCHES) (GALLONS) (DOLLARS)
3/4 10,000 43.50
1 30,000 130.50
1-1/2 45,000 195.75
2 90,000 391.50
3 140,000 609.00
4 200,000 870.00
6 350,000 1,522.50
Multiple Housing and mobile home parks of over two dwelling units, using a master meter, will be
computed as follows: The quarterly master meter reading will be divided by the number of dwelling
units and the water charge will be figured on this number as if the unit was individually metered. The
water charge will then be multiplied by the number of units on the master meter and this will be the
billing rendered. If the calculation of the water consumed per dwelling unit is less than the allowable
consumption for a three-quarter inch meter, then the billing will be calculated by multiplying the number
of units on the master meter times the minimum base charge for a three-quarter inch meter (e.g., if there
were 20 dwelling units on the master meter, and total water consumption shown by the master meter was
100,000 gallons, the Commission billing would be $870.00 (20 units times $43.50) rather than $435.00
(100,000 gallons at $4.35/1000 gallons))
An annual charge for each fire protection main serving a fire suppression system will be billed along
with the first quarterly water bill of the calendar year. The annual charge for this service shall be $20.00
per diameter inch of the pipe supplying the fire suppression system. The pipe supplying the fire
suppression system is the pipe needed to supply the fire suppression system, installed downstream of the
system control valve.
The water application fee shall be $240.00 for each new service for which application is made after
January 1, 2015, plus the cost of a meter, tap, accessory materials and installation costs in a location
approved by the Southern Cayuga Lake Intermunicipal Water Commission.

Re: Report of the Police Department for September, 2014
In the month of September the police department received 316 calls for service. In addition to these calls, 238 uniform traffic
tickets were issued and 10 parking violations were cited. A breakdown of the calls for service is as follows:
1 felony traffic incident occurred. During a traffic stop for speeding the driver was found to be driving while intoxicated and
with a revoked or suspended license. An arrest was made and charges of AUO 1st, DWI: Previous conviction and Unlawful
Possession of Marijuana were filed.
13 misdemeanor incidents were handled including 3 for Criminal Mischief, 2 for Fraud, 2 for Petit Larceny and 6 for vehicle
and traffic including 1 for Drugs. 3 criminal mischief complaints involved residents reporting subjects in a motor vehicle
driving around shooting paintball guns. After investigation of these incidents, 2 subjects were each arrested on charges of
Criminal Possession of a Weapon 4th and Reckless Endangerment 2nd. 2 reports of theft from a motor vehicle were handled.
Residents stated that their unlocked vehicles were entered sometime in the overnight hours. Items said to be missing
included loose change and a Garmin GPS system. Of the 2 fraud complaints 1 consisted of a resident reporting that they had
been a victim of identity theft. 2 store accounts had been opened in their name by an unknown person. There are no suspects
and the investigation is ongoing. 6 traffic stop investigations lead to drug and vehicle and traffic arrests. During the stops,
officers found drivers to be driving while intoxicated, driving a vehicle with a suspended or revoked license, and operating a
vehicle on a suspended registration.
There were 2 penal law violations reported. 2 charges of Unlawful Possession of Marijuana were filed following vehicle and
traffic stops.
8 reports of local law violations were handled including 2 for Unlawful Soliciting, 2 for Dog Control and 4 for Noise. 2
complaints for unleashed dogs were reported. Officers were able to secure the animals and return them to their owners.
Owners were advised of the Village’s local law and warned that they may receive a citation upon further complaint. During
investigation of the 2 Unlawful Soliciting complaints, contact was able to be made with one of the suspects. This subject was
not attempting to vend a product and was not found to be violating the Village’s local law. In the other complaint, the
suspect was not able to be located, however the description of the individual matched that of the first complaint and the
situation was similar in nature. The 4 Noise reports each consisted of complaints of loud music and parties. Upon officer’s
arrival to said locations there did not appear to be any violations of the Village’s Noise Ordinance. Officers did find residents
having a small campfire in the rear of one of the properties. Subjects were advised of the Villages open burn ordinance and
were asked to distinguish the fire, which they did without issue.
There were 4 Motor vehicle accidents investigated, none involving deer.
No other incidents involving deer were reported.
In summary, 10 persons were arrested and the following 16 charges were filed: 1-Felony AUO 1st, 1-Felony DWI-Previous

Over the course of this month police department members took part in the following trainings and events: Officers assisted
with traffic control during the 2nd Annual Cayuga Heights Elementary 5k Fun Run. Officers conducted several traffic details
which satisfied the conditions of the 2013-2014 STEP Grant.
