Honorable Linda Woodard
Board of Trustees
Village of Cayuga Heights
Monthly Report April 2018
We picked the pace right back up in April after a slow March with 55 runs. We had 35 calls in the Village of
Cayuga Heights, 14 calls in the Town of Ithaca and 3 requests for mutual aid. There were 28 EMS calls and 27
fire runs. On April 4th we had a wind event in the village that resulted in 7 calls in one hour for trees and wires
down. Crews fanned our through the village to block areas with wires down and to clear trees from roadways.
It was a very busy time for the members of the department. It is amazing how localized these events are. Most
of the departments surrounding us were not affected by this storm which happens often, one or two areas are
hit hard and the storm passes others with no damage.
We spent many of our training hours through April focusing on checklist work. We have set the deadline for
first probie sign offs for Memorial Day weekend in May so these members need to focus on checklist work.
Several of our members from the fall recruit class have completed the NYS Basic Exterior Firefighter
Operations (BEFO) class and have now moved on to the Interior Firefighting Operations (IFO) class. We have
three members getting ready to graduate from the Emergency Medical Technician (EMT) class at TC3.
Katherine Lockwood took the NYS Youth Fire Starter Intervention Class at the fire academy. This class focuses
on prevention of arson fires by children. She is working with BOCES to start an outreach program to take into
local schools for fire prevention.
Everything at the station seems to be working well at this time. Chris Shepherd, one of our bunkers, has been
working hard to repair the damage to the lawn after the winter of plowing and salting. The DPW d ropped off
several bucket loads of top soil and Chris has been raking and seeding and watering to bring life back to the
lawn. We are expecting a quote soon from a roofing contractor for the work on the gutters around the station;
he had to wait for all of the ice to melt before he could get a good look at the liner around the roof line.
Richardson Brothers has been in contact about the LED light project and will plan on doing the work in early
June.

EXHIBIT 2019-013
We would like to host Movies at the Station again this summer and will be asking the boards permission to do
so at the May meeting. We have done Movies at the Station for the past two summers and it has been a great
success.
Our plan is to once again to do a movie every other week starting at 7:00 in the truck bay geared toward a
younger kid crowd and then on the opposite week we will do an outside movie that will start later when the
sun sets. We are also planning on having a food truck again.
With summer fast approaching we are getting requests from members who are staying in Ithaca for
June/July/August and would like to bunk at the station. Summer bunking is a great way for us to keep our
members engaged through our short-staffed period. Everyone seemed to have a great night at the Installation
Dinner. The officers were sworn in for the upcoming year and all have stepped easily into there roles. We
are planning to have an officers meeting in early June to get some goals in place for the year.
Sincerely,
George Tamborelle
Fire Chief/Fire Superintendent
The Fire Department will be holding a movie night again this year. Permission is sought from the Board
of Trustees to hold “Movies at the Station” from June 27, 2018 until August 15, 2018, skipping July 4th.
Movie nights start at 1800 hours at the station. The Board is asked to waive the permit fee for this
function.
Resolution #
BE IT RESOLVED THAT: the Village of Cayuga Heights Board of Trustees approves the Cayuga Heights
Fire Department request to hold “Movies at the Station” during the requested date range. The permit fee
is waived for this function.

SECTION 1.0
STATUTORY AUTHORIZATION AND PURPOSE
1.1 FINDINGS
The Board of Trustees of the Village of Cayuga Heights finds that the potential and/or actual damages
from flooding and erosion may be a problem to the residents of the Village of Cayuga Heights and that

SECTION 1.0
STATUTORY AUTHORIZATION AND PURPOSE
1.1 FINDINGS
The Board of Trustees of the Village of Cayuga Heights finds that the potential and/or actual damages
from flooding and erosion may be a problem to the residents of the Village of Cayuga Heights and that
such damages may include: destruction or loss of private and public housing, damage to public facilities,
both publicly and privately owned, and injury to and loss of human life. In order to minimize the threat of
such damages and to achieve the purposes and objectives hereinafter set forth, this local law is adopted.
1.2 STATEMENT OF PURPOSE
It is the purpose of this local law to promote the public health, safety, and general welfare, and to
minimize public and private losses due to flood conditions in specific areas by provisions designed to:
17
EXHIBIT 2019-020
(1) regulate uses which are dangerous to health, safety and property due to water or erosion hazards,
or which result in damaging increases in erosion or in flood heights or velocities;
(2) require that uses vulnerable to floods, including facilities which serve such uses, be protected against
flood damage at the time of initial construction;
(3) control the alteration of natural floodplains, stream channels, and natural protective barriers
which are involved in the accommodation of flood waters;
(4) control filling, grading, dredging and other development which may increase erosion or flood
damages;
(5) regulate the construction of flood barriers which will unnaturally divert flood waters or which
may increase flood hazards to other lands, and;
(6) qualify for and maintain participation in the National Flood Insurance Program.
1.3 OBJECTIVES
The objectives of this local law are:
(l) to protect human life and health;
(2) to minimize expenditure of public money for costly flood control projects;
