Honorable Linda Woodard

Village of Cayuga Heights
Monthly Report May 2018
There were 43 calls for the Cayuga Heights Fire Department in May. We had 23 calls in the Village of
Cayuga Heights, 16 calls in the Town of Ithaca and 4 requests for mutual aid. There were 24 EMS calls
and 19 fire runs. On Mother’s Day we were requested to Sperry Lane in Lansing for a structure fire.
Lansing officers arrived on scene to find a home under construction with heavy fire. We responded and
as we crossed the bridge over Rt. 13 we could see the flames in the distance. Working closely with
Lansing and many other mutual aid companies we assisted with suppression of the fire. Ou3 L231 was
utilized for much of the suppression work as the building started to collapse in on itself. Late in the month
we had a rain storm roll through the district that caused several flooded basements and hazardous
conditions with water across roadways.
In May all of the members of the department taking the BEFO class graduated and most of them continued
on to the Interior Firefighting Operations Class. The EMTs also finished their class at TC3 and took their
state certification test. We did our annual SCBA recertification in two sections in the middle of the month
and all members are current with the county recertification policy. Lt. Brendan Bloodnick and Lt. Devon
Savoy have been working hard with training and ran several firefighter fitness scenarios through the
month. These evolutions require members in full gear and packs with tools to move through a series of
stations including a stair climb with a hose roll, moving through obstacles with gear and pack and handling
hand and power tools. These are strenuous evolutions and our members seem to really enjoy working this
hard.
6
We have found a significant leak in the roof over the training room. This is a flat roof covered in several
sheets of rubber roofing material. We have had leak issues for years with this area and after the last major
rain we had several ceiling tiles get wet and fall out. We got up on the roof and discovered that the seams
have separated in several areas and the sub roof is soft in a couple areas. We had a contractor come to
look at the situation and have decided that we will remove the existing rubber roofing, replace whatever
rot we find under the rubber and then repair the roof. Rath er then have it flat, which gathers the water,
we are going to have them put a light pitch to the roof to allow water runoff and then cover it with a solid
piece of rubber so there are no seams to split. We are also going to have the flashing replaced in several
spots where the gutters are leaking to fix the problem of water cascading down the outside of the station
during heavy rain.
We have a good movie line up for the summer and have a commitment from Dos Amigos, the food
truck we have been using for the past two years. There will be a nice mix of movies geared to small
kids as well as some fun stuff for an older crowd. We held our Graduates Dinner this year for our
members who are graduating from college and high school. It was well attended by the membership and
families. We have found this to be a nice option for families coming to Ithaca for graduation weekend
and are arriving different times. The station is a nice place to meet up and have a meal before moving
on.
We are now at our summer staffing levels but this year we seem to be doing well. There are many
members who are staying in Ithaca to work and take classes which is great for us. A couple people
spoke to the bunkers and arrangements were made to “loan out” rooms. This works out very well for all
involved as it leaves us staffed at the station. We are looking forward to a safe summer.
Sincerely,
George Tamborelle
Fire Chief/Fire Superintendent

CONCERNING THE REGISTRATION AND USE OF BICYCLES
Be it enacted by the Board of Trustees of the Village of Cayuga Heights as follows:
SECTION I PURPOSE AND INTENT
It is the intent of this Local Law to eliminate the requirements concerning registration of bicycles of Article XIII,
“Registration and Use of Bicycles,” of the Articles (the “Articles”) of the Village of Cayuga Heights (the
“Village”), as said Article XIII had been amended by Local Law 3 of 1990 (as so amended, “Article XIII”). It is
also the intent of this Local Law to establish rules allowing bicycles, and other wheeled equipment, to be used on

of Trustees has determined that the requirements of
Article XIII related to the registration of bicycles have not been enforced and are not necessary. The Village’s
Board of Trustees further has determined that, to promote the use of bicycles and other wheeled equipment in a
safe manner by persons with disabilities and by children age twelve (12) and younger, persons with disabilities
and children age twelve (12) and younger should be permitted to operate bicycles and other wheeled equipment
on the Village’s sidewalks. The purpose of this Local Law is to delete in their entirety the requirements of Article
XIII, and establish by this Local Law that persons with disabilities and children age twelve (12) and younger shall
be permitted to operate bicycles and other wheeled equipment on the Village’s sidewalks.
SECTION II AUTHORITY
This Local Law is enacted pursuant to the grant of powers to local governments provided in Section 10 of the
Municipal Home Rule Law to adopt and amend local laws not inconsistent with the provision of the New York
State Constitution and not inconsistent with any general law relating to its property, affairs, government or other
subjects provided for in said Section 10 of the Municipal home Rule Law, and pursuant to the grant of powers to
local governments provided in Section 180 of the General Municipal Law to regulate the use of bicycles on the
public highways, streets, avenues, walks, parks and public places.
EXHIBIT 2019-028
SECTION III TITLE OF THIS LOCAL LAW
This Local Law shall be known as the Bicycle Use Law.
SECTION IV AMENDMENT ARTICLE XIII OF THE ARTICLES OF THE

herein as “bicycles and other wheeled equipment”). For the purposes of this Local Law, “bicycles and
other wheeled equipment” shall not include baby strollers or carriages or other conveyances for children
not able to walk. For the purposes of this Local Law, “persons with disabilities” shall mean individuals
who require the use of a bicycle or other wheeled equipment as a means of transportation or mobility.
1. Persons with disabilities and children age twelve (12) and younger shall be permitted to ride, drive or
operate bicycles and other wheeled equipment on the Village’s sidewalks.
2. Other than as specified in subsection (1) above, no person shall ride, drive or operate a bicycle or other
wheeled equipment on any sidewalk in the Village.
C. In any case that a person is riding, driving or operating a bicycle or other wheeled equipment on a Village
sidewalk, such person shall yield the right of way to any pedestrian using the sidewalk.
D. In the event of a violation of the requirements of this Local Law by a child age thirteen (13) through fifteen
(15), the summons for such violation shall be issued to the parent or guardian of such child. In the event
of a violation of the requirements of this Local Law by any person age sixteen (16) or older, the summons
for such violation shall be issued to such person.
SECTION V SUPERSEDING EFFECT
All Local Laws, Articles, resolutions, rules, regulations and other enactments of the Village of Cayu ga Heights in
conflict with the provisions of this Local Law are hereby superseded to the extent necessary to give this Local Law
full force and effect. Without limiting the foregoing, to any extent that the terms of the Zoning Law of the Village
of Cayuga Heights are deemed to be in conflict with the requirements of this Local Law, the terms of this Local
Law shall govern and control.
SECTION VI PARTIAL INVALIDITY.
In the event that any portion of this Local Law is declared invalid by a court of competent jurisdiction, the
validity of the remaining portions shall not be affected by such declaration of invalidity.
SECTION VII EFFECTIVE DATE
This Local Law shall be effective immediately upon filing in the office of the New York State Secretary of State,
except that it shall be effective from the date of its service as against a person served with a copy thereof, certified
by the Village Clerk, and showing the date of its passage and entry in the Minutes of the Village Board of
Trustees.

applications, examining the plans and specifications and issuing permits for any proposed construction or
development.
3.2 Permit Requirements
No person shall erect, construct, enlarge, alter, repair, improve, move, or demolish any building or structure
without first obtaining a separate permit for each building or structure from the Local Administrator.
No man-made change to improved or unimproved real estate, including but not limited to buildings or other
structures, mining, dredging, filling, grading, paving, excavation or drilling operations, shall be comme nced until
a separate permit has been obtained from the Local Administrator for each change.
No manufactured home shall be placed on improved or unimproved real estate without first obtaining a separate
permit for each mobile home from the Local Administrator.
3.3 Application
To obtain a permit, the applicant shall first file a permit application on a form furnished for that purpose. The form
must be completed and submitted to the Local Administrator before the issuance of a permit will be considered.
3.4 Permitting Procedures
(1) As part of the issuance of any permit, the Local Administrator shall require any measures which
are necessary to meet the minimum requirements of this document.
(2) The Local Administrator shall review any proposed development to assure that all necessary
permits have been received from those governmental agencies from which approval is required by
Federal or State law, including Section 404 of the Federal Water Pollution Control Act
Amendments of 1972, 33 U.S.C. 1334.
(3) The Local Administrator shall review all permit applications to determine whether proposed
building sites will be reasonably safe from flooding. If a proposed building site is in a flood prone
13
area, all new construction and substantial improvements (including the placement of prefabricated
buildings and mobile homes) shall be referred to the Planning Board for Site Plan Review pursuant
to Article 17 of the Zoning Law. The Local Administrator shall further require that all such new
construction: (i) be designed (or modified) and adequately anchored to prevent flotation, collapse,
or lateral movement of the structure, (ii) be constructed with materials and utility equipment
resistant to flood damage and (iii) be constructed by methods and practices that minimize flood
damage;
(4) The Planning Board shall review subdivision proposals pursuant to Article 18 of the Zoning Law,
and other proposed new development pursuant to Article 17 of the Zoning Law, to determine
whether such proposals will be reasonably safe from flooding. If a subdivision proposal or other
proposed new development is in a flood prone area, any such proposals shall be reviewed to assure
that (i) all such proposals are consistent with the need to minimize flood damage within the flood
prone area, (ii) all public utilities and facilities, such as sewer, gas, electrical, and water systems
are located and constructed to minimize or eliminate flood damage, and (iii) adequate drainage is
provided to reduce exposure to flood hazards;
(5) The Local Administrator shall require within flood prone areas new and replacement water supply
systems to be designed to minimize or eliminate infiltration of flood waters into the systems; and
(6) The Local Administrator shall require within flood prone areas (i) new and r eplacement sanitary
sewage systems to be designed to minimize or eliminate infiltration of flood waters into the systems
and discharges from the systems into flood waters and (ii) onsite waste disposal systems to be
located to avoid impairment to them or contamination from them during flooding.
SECTION 4.0
4.1 Review Procedure
(l) In areas where flooding may be a concern, property owners shall apply to the Village’s Planning
Board for review in accordance with the procedures set forth in Articles 17 (for Site Plan Review)
and 18 (for Subdivision Approval) of the Zoning Law. As part of this review, the Planning Board
shall hear and decide requests for modifications of the requirements of this local law.
(2) In passing upon such applications, the Planning Board shall consider all technical evaluations, all
relevant factors, standards specified in other sections of this local law and:
(i) the danger that materials may be swept onto other lands to the injury of others;
(ii) the danger to life and property due to flooding or erosion damage;
(iii) the susceptibility of the proposed facility and its contents to flood damage and the effect
of such damage on the individual owner;
(iv) the importance of the services provided by the proposed facility to the community;
(v) the necessity to the facility of a waterfront location, where applicable;
(vi) the availability of alternative locations for the proposed use which are not subject to
flooding or erosion damage;
(vii) the compatibility of the proposed use with existing and anticipated development;
(viii) the relationship of the proposed use to the comprehensive plan and floodplain
management program of that area;
(ix) the safety of access to the property in times of flood for ordinary and emergency vehicles;
14
(x) the costs to local governments and the dangers associated with conducting search and
rescue operations during periods of flooding;
(xi) the expected heights, velocity, duration, rate of rise and sediment transport of the flood
waters and the effects of wave action, if applicable, expected at the site; and
(xii) the costs of providing governmental services during and after flood conditions, including
search and rescue operations, maintenance and repair of public utilities and facilities such as
sewer, gas, electrical, and water systems and streets and bridges.
(3) Upon consideration of the factors of Section 4.l(2) and the purposes of this local law, the
Planning Board may attach such conditions to the granting of Site Plan or Subdivision Approval
as it deems necessary to further the purposes of this local law.
(4) The Local Administrator shall maintain the records of all Site Plan and Subdivision review
applications, including technical information and report any modifications to the Federal
Emergency Management Agency upon request.
4.2 Appeals and Conditions for Variances
(1) Appeals
The Village’s Zoning Board of Appeals shall hear and decide appeals and requests for variances
from the requirements of this local law in accordance with the procedures set forth in Article 20
of the Zoning Law. The Zoning Board of Appeals shall hear and decide appeals when it is
alleged there is an error in any requirement, decision, or determination made by the Local
Administrator in the enforcement or administration of this local law.
(2) Variances to this Local Law shall be based upon a hardship that runs with the land and shall not be
issued for economic or other personal hardships.
(3) (i) Variances shall be issued upon (a) a showing of good and sufficient cause, (b) a determination
that failure to grant the variance would result in significant hardship, and (c) a determination that
the variance will not result in increased flood risks, create nuisances, cause fraud or victimization
of the public or conflict with existing local laws and ordinances.
(ii) Variances to this Local Law shall be consistent with requirements for variances to other Local
and State law, code or regulation.
(4) Those aggrieved by a decision of the Planning Board or the Zoning Board of Appeals may appeal
such decision to the Supreme Court pursuant to Article 78 of the Civil Practice Law and Rules.

VILLAGE OF CAYUGA HEIGHTS
DRAFT
PROPOSED LOCAL LAW D OF THE YEAR 2018
A LOCAL LAW TO AMEND
THE VILLAGE OF CAYUGA HEIGHTS ZONING LAW
SECTIONS 17.4.E.1, 19.4.E.1 AND 20.3.C.1
IN REGARD TO THE REQUIREMENTS FOR
MAILING OF NOTICES OF PUBLIC HEARINGS FOR, RESPECTIVELY,
SITE PLAN REVIEW, SPECIAL USE PERMITS AND
ZONING BOARD OF APPEALS APPLICATIONS
Be it enacted by the Board of Trustees of the Village of Cayuga Heights as follows:
SECTION I PURPOSE AND INTENT
It is the intent of this Local Law to revise the requirements for the mailing of notices of certain public
hearings, as set forth in the Zoning Law (the “Zoning Law”) of the Village of Cayuga Heights (the
“Village”). The Village’s new Zoning Law, adopted as of February 6, 2018, added a requirement that
notices of public hearings for site plan review, special use permits and Zoning Board of Appeals
applications must be mailed by certified mail, return receipt requested, with the return receipts provided
to the relevant Board in advance of the hearing. The Village’s Board of Trustees has determined that
these requirements result in an unnecessary burden on the Village, both in terms of cost of such mailings
and the time required to complete such mailings. The purpose of this Local Law is to eliminate these
requirements by deleting the last sentence of each of Zoning Law Sections 17.4.E.1, 19.4.E.1 and
20.3.C.1.
SECTION II AUTHORITY
This Local Law is enacted pursuant to the grant of powers to local governments provided in Section 10
of the Municipal Home Rule Law to adopt and amend local laws not inconsistent with the provision of
the New York State Constitution and not inconsistent with any general law relating to its property,
affairs, government or other subjects provided for in said Section 10 of the Municipal home Rule Law.
SECTION III AMENDMENT OF ZONING LAW SECTIONS 17.4.E.1, 19.4.E.1 AND 20.3.C.1
18
The last sentence of each of Zoning Law Sections 17.4.E.1, 19.4.E.1 and 20.3.C.1, “Notices shall be
mailed certified mail, return receipt requested, and all return receipts shall be provided to the [Planning
Board, in the case of Sections 17.4.E.1, 19.4.E.1, Zoning Board of Appeals, in the case of section 20.3.C.1]
prior to the public hearing,” is hereby deleted in its entirety.
SECTION IV SUPERSEDING EFFECT
All Local Laws, Articles, resolutions, rules, regulations and other enactments of the Village of Cayuga
Heights in conflict with the provisions of this Local Law are hereby superseded to the extent necessary to
give this Local Law full force and effect. Without limiting the foregoing, to any extent that the terms of
the Zoning Law of the Village of Cayuga Heights are deemed to be in conflict with the requirements of
this Local Law, the terms of this Local Law shall govern and control.
SECTION V PARTIAL INVALIDITY.
In the event that any portion of this Local Law is declared invalid by a court of competent jurisdiction,
the validity of the remaining portions shall not be affected by such declaration of invalidity.
SECTION VI EFFECTIVE DATE.
This Local Law shall be effective immediately upon filing in the office of the New York State Secretary
of State, except that it shall be effective from the date of its service as against a person served with a copy
thereof, certified by the Village Clerk, and showing the date of its passage and entry in the Minutes of the

In the month of May, the police department received 357 calls for service. In addition to these calls 73 uniform

there were no Felony incidents handled.
7 Penal Law Misdemeanor complaints were handled; 1 for Criminal Mischief, 3 for Larceny, and 3 for Fraud. The
criminal mischief complaint involved a Village of Cayuga Heights stop sign being vandalized with spray paint. The
DPW was notified, the sign was replaced and there are no suspects. One of the Larceny complaints was of a
delivered package being stolen from the common area of an apartment building. An investigation was conducted
however no suspect has been identified. Another theft complaint was of a stolen sign bearing “Welcome to the
Village of Cayuga Heights”. The sign was replaced by the Village DPW. The remaining larceny complaint came
from a resident stating that property was taken from her residence. After investigation it was determined that
the property had been confiscated by the resident’s care providers. No larceny had occurred. In all 3 Fraud
complaints residents reported receiving scam phone calls. No property or money changed hands and the calls
were for informational purposes only.
6 Misdemeanor Vehicle and Traffic stops were conducted where the driver was found to be Unlicensed and/or
having a suspended vehicle registration. Charges of AUO3rd and/or Driving MV with Registration Suspended were
filed on all 6 stops.
1 Alcoholic Beverage Control Violation was handled. After investigation of a parking complaint, the officer on

charged with ABC 065C.
10 Local Law Violations were handled, 1 for Care of Property, 2 for Dog Control and 6 for Noise and 1 for Open

Village to be overgrown. The homeowners were contacted and made arrangements to have the grass mowed
promptly. The Dog Control complaints came in as barking dogs. Officers responded to the reported area and the
animal owners were notified of the Village’s dog ordinance. 1 Noise complaint was of a loud vehicle that was
27
running for long periods of time in the early morning hours. Officers have not been able to make verbal contact
with the suspect vehicle owner. A second Noise complaint was made by a resident stating that a neighbor was
having construction done on their home and was loud during the early morning hours. Contact was made with
the resident having the construction done and it was determined that they were not in violation of any local laws.
The remaining 4 Noise complaints were for loud parties/social gatherings at Fraternities in the Village. The
Fraternity presidents were contacted and advised that if any further complaints were made then a citation would
be issued.
2 Mental Hygiene incidents were received. After investigation of 2 mental health complaints, 1 subject was taken
into custody under MHY 9.41, while another was taken into custody for both MHY 9.41 and MHY 22.09. Both

After lengthy negotiations with Verizon on behalf of 70 municipal clients, we've finally reached a settlement
which secures payment for past underpaid local GRT. In the case of the Village of Cayuga Heights, the
settlement amount is $2,000 which covers amounts due (with penalty and interest) back to three years prior
to when we first requested data from Verizon in September 2017.
