Report of Treasurer Laskaris: Abstract # 4- Resolution: 9038 BE IT RESOLVED THAT: the Village of Cayuga Heights Board of Trustees approves Abstract #4 for FYE2022 consisting of TA vouchers 22-28 in the amount of $15,569.86 and Consolidated Fund vouchers 223- 300 in the amount of $320,672.14 and the Treasurer is instructed to make payments thereon. 3 Motion: Trustee Salton Second: Trustee Marshall Ayes: Deputy Mayor McMurry; Trustees: Hubbell, Marshall, Rennekamp, and Salton Nays: none Abstentions: none Motion Carried a. Schedule a Public Hearing on 2022 water and sewer rate: Bolton Point has notified the Village of their 2022 water rate. • Treasurer Laskaris states that the Village Finance Committee met to discuss Bolton Point's decision to raise water rates by 3.0% in January 2022. The committee recommendation is to pass that 3% increase on to the consumer without an additional Village surcharge as presented in Exhibit 2022-055. • This will continue to increase our fund balance for any water infrastructure projects. We anticipate that a portion of this fund balance will be used to repay the loan on the current WWTP renovation projects. • Trustee Hubbell asks if annual budgeting is meeting annual expenditures in a given year. Treasurer Laskaris states that, historically, we have always had enough fund balance to meet expenditures. She also states that it has been two years since the Village made the last $100,000 payment of a $1,000,000 bonded water infrastructure project. • Director of Public Works Wiese states that as we prepare for the findings from water the flow study of all Village hydrants, we could potentially have new a water infrastructure project which would cut into fund balance. • The Village Finance Committee is also recommending a 3% increase to the Village sewer rate. • The Board will discuss this rate recommendation at the October Board of Trustees Meeting. Resolution: 9039 BE IT RESOLVED THAT: the Village of Cayuga Heights Board of Trustees hereby schedules a Public Hearing on October 20, 2021, at 7:05 p.m. to seek comments on a Proposed Local Law to increase the Village’s sewer rate by 3%. Motion: Trustee Rennekamp Second: Trustee Hubbell Ayes: Deputy Mayor McMurry; Trustees: Hubbell, Marshall, Rennekamp, and Salton Nays: none Abstentions: none Motion Carried • Village Treasurer Laskaris states that the NYCLASS account is earning twice as much interest as the TCTC saving account. • Village Treasurer Laskaris also states that she will need to present two budget modifications at the October 4 Board of Trustees meeting for the NYSLRS system. 6. Report of Deputy Mayor McMurry: a. Cayuga Heights Road TAP Update: It has been determined that holding a public information meeting on the proposed Cayuga Heights Rd. sidewalk project at this time would be premature since we are not sure if we will be awarded the grant, and this meeting is not required by the NYSDOT as part of the application process. • Clerk Walker asks Deputy Mayor McMurry if the office should still promote the public survey on pedestrian needs for Cayuga Heights Rd. Deputy Mayor McMurry states that, yes, we should still promote the survey. • The Village is still on track to submit the TAP application on September 29, 2021. • Trustee Marshall asks when will the Village know the level of acceptance from property owners affected by this project. Deputy Mayor McMurry states that there are only two properties that would require an easement. Those two easements would likely be obtained during the Rightsizing Culvert project that is currently in the final design phase. • Deputy Mayor McMurry further states that if and when the Cayuga Heights Rd. TAP Grant is awarded, then we will hold a public meeting and accept feedback from residents. • Trustee Salton asks when will the Rightsizing Culvert project begin. B. Cross states that the project is ready for bidding and anticipates the construction phase will begin next spring. As a follow up, Trustee Salton asks why then do we have all the culvert piping at DPW if it is going to sit for another year. B. Cross states that we had hoped to get the bids out earlier this year. • B. Cross states that the new challenge is researching the permanent easements that will be required for the culvert project. The Board will discuss this further under the Village Engineers Report. b. Posting of the Treasurer Position: At the August Board of Trustees Meeting, a resolution was passed to post a part-time Treasurer position. • Deputy Mayor McMurry states that we neglected to establish a salary rate for this position. The Village Human Resources Committee recommends a salary range of $30,000 - $35,000. The position will also require vaccination from COVID-19 before employment. Resolution: 9040 BE IT RESOLVED THAT: the Village of Cayuga Heights Board of Trustees approves and authorizes the posting of a part-time Village Treasurer position for 20 hours per week at a base salary of $30,000 on the Tompkins County personnel website. The position is to be hired as soon as a qualified candidate is identified and- the candidate must complete a successful background investigation and has been fully vaccinated against COVID- 19 two weeks before starting employment. Motion: Trustee Rennekamp Second: Trustee Hubbell 5 Ayes: Deputy Mayor McMurry; Trustees: Hubbell, Marshall, Rennekamp, and Salton Nays: none Abstentions: none Motion Carried • Clerk Walker states that he contacted Tompkins County HR and they see no reason why we could not promote our open position through our website as well as the E-newsblast. c. General Code Update: There are several Village Local Laws that need to be codified into the Village Code. Exhibit 2002-056 • Clerk Walker states that two times a year the Village should submit to General Code any legislation that has been passed to incorporate it into the Village Code. Since the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic, which fell at the beginning of our budget season, it was decided by Mayor Woodard not to fund this expense. • Tonight, we are asking the Board of Trustees to move money from the continency account in the amount of $2,700 to fund account A1460.200. • Deputy Mayor McMurry states that when a new piece of legislation is submitted to E-code it is listed in the “new laws” section and is not codified into the appropriate section of the code. Going forward we will submit any new laws for codifications in May and November. This unbudgeted cost is to make up for the last three years. Going forward the cost will be much less. Resolution: 9041 BE IT RESOLVED THAT: the Village of Cayuga Heights Board of Trustees approves and authorizes moving $2,700 from contingency to the A1460.200 account for codifying into E-code (8) Village Local Laws. Motion: Trustee Salton Second: Trustee Hubbell Ayes: Deputy Mayor McMurry; Trustees: Hubbell, Marshall, Rennekamp, and Salton Nays: none Abstentions: none Motion Carried 7. Report of the Trustees: No report at this time. 8. Report of Police Chief Wright: Submitted Report (Exhibit 2022-057) • Chief Wright states that interviews were held on September 7, 2021 for two new part-time officers, and two qualified candidates have been selected. • Both currently work for the Dryden Police Department, one as a full-time officer and the other as a part- time officer. 6 Resolution: 9042 BE IT RESOLVED THAT: the Village of Cayuga Heights Board of Trustees approves and authorizes Police Chief Wright to offer a part-time Patrol Officer position with the Village of Cayuga Heights Police Department to Raven M. Miller, at the current PBA contracted rate subject to a successful background check. Motion: Trustee Salton Second: Trustee Rennekamp Ayes: Deputy Mayor McMurry; Trustees: Hubbell, Marshall, Rennekamp, and Salton Nays: none Abstentions: none Motion Carried Resolution 9043 BE IT RESOLVED THAT: the Village of Cayuga Heights Board of Trustees approves and authorizes Police Chief Wright to offer a part-time Patrol Officer position with the Village of Cayuga Heights Police Department to Geoffrey K. Trimm, at the current PBA contracted rate subject to a successful background check. Motion: Trustee Marshall Second: Trustee Hubbell Ayes: Deputy Mayor McMurry; Trustees: Hubbell, Marshall, Rennekamp, and Salton Nays: none Abstentions: none Motion Carried • In Closing, Chief Wright states that after several repairs his new patrol vehicle is back in service. 9. Report of Director of DPW Wiese: Submitted Report (Exhibit 2022-058) • Director of Public Works Wiese states that the laborer position has been posted on the County website for two months and has received 12 applications. Director Wiese will have a candidate for Board approval at the October Board of Trustees meeting. • All work associate with the Kline Road bypass has been completed. A metal plate was installed to act like a dam for any flow directed to the City of Ithaca. At this point, everything is working correctly. • Precision Group has completed the camera work on Pleasant Grove Road and will be returning in three weeks to begin lining the sewer pipe on Pleasant Grove Road. • 7 10. Report of Village Engineer Cross: a. WWTP Update: • B. Cross states that the general contractor is not going to do any physical construction in this calendar year. The equipment they will be installing for the digestive covers is very unique and requires significant design time to make sure it works. This delay might be helpful since the IAWWTF plant is not able to take any of our liquid sludge during the time the current digesters are being replaced. b. Cayuga Heights Road TAP Continued Discussion: • B. Cross states that, as a follow-up to the earlier conversation on the Cayuga Height Road TAP application, the Culvert Rightsizing project is ready to have easements prepared before we send it out to bid. • Trustee Salton asks why, given the scarceness of contractors given the current climate during the pandemic ,, we wouldn’t send the project out to bid sooner rather than later. • B. Cross states that there are no more than twelve easements that need to be completed for this project. • Village Attorney, R. Marcus asks B. Cross if the design of the project is advanced enough to describe the areas that are necessary for developing and mapping easement documents. B. Cross states that T.G. Miller has the mapping completed, but not the descriptions. It is a balancing act to see if you get cooperation from the property owner versus having to draft formal easement documents. • Deputy Mayor McMurry asks B. Cross what the advantage is to waiting to negotiate the easements before obtaining bids versus bidding the project now and stating the project is subject to future easements. • B. Cross states that there is a possibility that disclosing that ahead of time would scare off bidders. If there is any delay in getting the easements after the bids are in, then the bidder is only obligated to hold his bid price for a certain number of days. On the positive side, T.G. Miller has formatted the project into seven different projects and bids could be done separately if there was a delay due to obtaining an easement. • Trustee Hubbell would like to know more about the nature of negotiations with the property owners. • Village Attorney, R. Marcus states that this would be an official granted easement that will describe the property owners and property. The hope is that the property owner will participate in the project for the good of the Village. There is no precedent where the Village could or would offer a monetary payment in exchange for use of their property. If the resident will not sign the easement, then it would become an issue of eminent domain. If the Village has to go that route, it could take six to twelve months to complete an easement. • B. Cross states that he will reach out to the property owners and report back to the Board at the October meeting. He will also request that T.G. Miller be ready to advertise the bid for this project right after the October Board Meeting. • Trustee Marshall asks if there is a requirement that the bids mention that rights-of-way from property owners are required. Village Attorney R. Marcus states that he is confident that T.G. Miller would - 8 incorporate that language into the bid documents. c. Fire Inspector Position: • B. Cross states that he has received two applications for the Fire Inspector position that is currently posted on the County website. B. Cross anticipates asking for Board approval to hire at the October Board of Trustee Meeting. d. Kline Rd. By-pass Update: • B. Cross states that the Kline Rd By-pass meter has been working well but might need some calibration adjustments. • In closing B. Cross states that Mayor Woodard was notified by the City of Ithaca’s IAWTF that the Village needs to update our local law on pre-treatment standards. We will be drafting the language in the next few months. There are two companies (Borg Warner and Odyssey) that utilize the WWTP and will need to comply with our updated pre-treatment standard. GHD will be assisting the Village with drafting these standards. 11. Report of Clerk Walker: Submitted Report (Exhibit 2022-059) • Clerk Walker reports that the only action items he has tonight are approving the Village Justice JCAP grant application for a new HP All-in-One copy machine and the Village Justice FYE 2019- 2020 Annual Audit.

We had 30 calls in the Village of Cayuga Heights, 15 calls in the Town of Ithaca and 1 mutual aid call. It was a monotonously routine month for the volunteers of the department. Through September we did some catching up with members who were out of town for the summer. We usually do our required SBCA recerts in the spring but because of Covid and the inability to disinfect the regulators on our breathing apparatus quickly we decided to postpone the recertifications until we felt it safer to do so. Through September we did the recerts in small groups. All members got their own pack for the session and then thoroughly disinfected the regulators and stored them to dry until the next session. We were able to get all members through the process without incident. The latest update from E-One is that they are finally cutting metal panels for the truck. We had a call with the vendor and E-One, and they are reporting all the parts for the truck are on site and they can start building. We do not have the date for the inspection or the delivery yet. In September we had our Fall 2021 Recruit Information Dinner at the station. We had 29 people at the station for the info session. Luckily it was a very nice evening weather wise, and we were able to set up the dinner in the truck bays with the doors open to minimize the risk to our members and those attending. After the information session we had 16 applicants. After the interviews were selected 11 of the applicants for the class. After giving out information on the dates of our classes on the website, at the dinner, during the interviews and finally at the company meeting where they were voted in, we still ended up with one of the recruits who suddenly realized that he had a conflict on one of the training days. We will start the class on October 16th with 10 new members. Our Covid status at the station has not changed. We are still following all recommended guidelines during response and training. Most of our members had received the Moderna vaccination so we are waiting anxiously for the booster to become available. We did have a vacancy in the bunker area. One of our bunkers was asked to step down and vacate his room at the station. This decision was made by fire council because this bunker was not meeting his obligations as set forth in the bunker agreement. The room was filled at the October Fire Council meeting by a member we feel will be able to perform the duties better. It is rare that we, as the fire council, must take this step but we have had incidents like this in the past. There are many duties that the bunkers are responsible for but in no way are they onerous. 12 On September 11th 10 members of the department attended a memorial service in Dryden marking the 20-year anniversary of the 9/11 attacks. Our members wore their Class A uniforms and represented the village and department well. It was discovered by the DPW that part of the ridge cap on the roof of the station had come off at some point. We are working to get a contractor to fix this. We feel that this would be the major contributing factor to the water leaks at the station. Hopefully once this issue is fixed, we will have a better handle on the leaks. Morale is high at the station, and everyone seems excited to get back into the process of training new members. We are starting up small group community CPR classes with our new instructors. We hope to have information on our website soon for this. Our members are eager to reengage with the community. Sincerely, George Tamborelle Fire Chief/Fire Superintendent 13 EXHIBIT 2202-073 VILLAGE OF CAYUGA HEIGHTS TREASURER’S REPORT October 20, 2021 Budget: ERS Retirement and PFRS Retirement Police – Equipment (A3120.200) The original PROPOSED budget included the BWC annual fee of $11,298.

Wright Chief of Police 10/14/2021 To: The Honorable Mayor Woodard Members of the Board of Trustees Village of Cayuga Heights Re: Report of the Police Department for September 2021 In the month of September, the police department received 344 calls for service. In addition to these calls, 91 uniform traffic tickets were issued, and 7 parking violations were cited. A breakdown of the calls for service is as follows: There were no Felony Penal Law Incidents reported. 3 Misdemeanor Penal Law Incidents of Larceny was handled. One complaint was made by an individual who stated a package had been taken from their porch. There are no known suspects; a report was needed for reimbursement purposes. A theft of a bicycle was reported after a student left their unsecured bicycle unattended during an afterschool event. There are no suspects, and no camera footage was able to be obtained. A final theft complaint was made after an individual found their license plates switched while they were parked in a parking lot within the village. A suspect was named, and the stolen plates were found in their possession. A subsequent arrest was made by the recovering agency. Investigation into 4 Traffic Stops led to 5 Misdemeanor charges: 4-Aggravated Unlicensed Operation of a Motor Vehicle 3rd and 1-Suspended Registration. 2 Penal Law Violations for Harassment were Investigated. A report of Harassment came in after a resident had received a threatening voice message on their home phone. There is a suspect, and the investigation is on-going. A second incident of Harassment was made by a parent stating their child had overheard threatening remarks made by another student on the school bus. The officer made contact with school officials and was advised that actions had been taken by the school and parent of the suspect child. No further police department action was needed. 6 Local Law violations were handled. 2 complaints for Dog Control were received; In the first incident, it was reported that a dog had been barking in the evening hours for an extended period of time. The responding officer set out to patrol the reported area, however no barking dog was observed. The second complaint was made by a resident stating that they had repeatedly heard a neighboring dog being aggressive and threatening to people walking through the neighborhood. It is not clear which house the dog is located at, and the complainant has not been able to make a complaint at the time of the reported behavior. No violation has been observed. A report of subjects in a vehicle in Sunset Park in the overnight hours was observed. The on-duty officer advised the subjects of the Park Hours and they left without incident. 3 Noise complaints were reported. In one incident the on-duty officer responded to the said location. Upon arrival the officer was unable to locate 24 any noise or violation of Local Law. In another complaint for Noise, a resident stated a neighbor had been using loud machinery in the evening hours. After investigation of the complaint, the officer did not find the neighbor to be in violation of any noise ordinances, however the individual did agree to discontinue the work until the following day. The final noise complaint was made by a resident stating there was a loud party going on at a fraternity house in the neighborhood. The on-duty officer responded and did observe loud music and a party taking place. A fraternity representative was advised of the village’s local law and warned that this would be the one and only time they would just be given a warning. Any subsequent complaints would lead to a citation being issued. 2 Individuals were taken into custody under the Mental Hygiene 9.41 law after investigations of Check the Welfare and Assist Citizen complaints. 2 Bench Warrant Arrests were executed by officers after a wanted individual was taken into custody by Ithaca Police Department. In the first incident, the subject was released on their own recognizance and during the second incident the suspect was remanded to Tompkins County Jail on bail. 2 Motor Vehicle accidents were reported, neither involving deer. There were no other incidents involving deer reported. In summary 8 persons were arrested and the following 9 charges were filed: 4-Aggravated Unlicensed Operation of a Motor Vehicle 3rd, 1-Suspended Registration, 2- Bench Warrants Executed, and 2-MHY 941 Taken into Custody Mentally Ill. Over the course of the month, Officers took part in the following event: On the 8th and the 21st, Officers conducted Commercial Vehicle Inspections. On the 16th and the 24th, Officers took part in Special Traffic Details, including one that took place with members of another police agency. On the 23rd Sgt. Manning and Police Clerk Carr reviewed an on-line TraCS seminar hosted by the NYSP. The full-time officers worked a total of 33 hours of overtime and the part-time officers worked a total of 213 hours. Sincerely, Chief Jerry Wright 25 EXHIBIT 2202-077 Village of Cayuga Heights Mike Wiese – B.O.T Report October 20th, 2021 COVID-19 – Every individual working for the DPW has been given a mask. The DPW facility is disinfected daily and the trucks are disinfected nightly. Precautions are being taken to maintain the six-foot distancing when possible. Code Enforcement – No training events were attended. Sewer – The Precision Group is scheduled to be on site October 25th or November 1st to start the pleasant grove lining project. Water – There were two water breaks that occurred. The first break was found around 3:30PM by the homeowner of 424 Klinewoods road. We found a break on the bottom half of the pipe and repaired it. The second break was found by a resident walking on East Upland Road around 8:30PM. This break was located at the top of the pipe and was repaired. Personnel- We have conducted interviews to fill the position of a laborer with a CDL. Unfortunately, only 1 applicant applied meeting the CDL requirement and he failed to return a phone call for an interview. We then proceeded to interview candidates for a Laborer position with the intent that the individual would pursue their CDL immediately. We interviewed four candidates and found two to be possible hires. I would like to propose the hiring of two individuals instead of one. The reasoning behind this is we are currently looking at the retirement of three individuals within the next two to three years which would roughly be half of our staff. Bringing two individuals on board now would allow me to prepare and train them so to help bridge the gap of retirement in the near future. To help offset this cost increase we would commit to not hiring a seasonal worker until retirements happen. This would put our current staffing level at 9 individuals 26 however the intent would be to return to a staffing level of 8 individuals once retirements take place. Sump Pump Inspections – 2 inspections were performed since the September board meeting. All were found to be in compliance. EXHIBIT 2202-078 1. Water Modeling project: We have received a scope of services proposal from TG Miller to prepare a water distribution system evaluation report that is based on an updated model for the Sheldon Road tank grid (previously studied in 2006) and for the portion of the village that lays in the Christopher Circle tank grid. The price for this study is to be billed hourly with a not to exceed amount of $20,000. I suspect that it will come in less than that. This price includes costs to update a model that has been provided by the Town of Ithaca Engineering Dept, but that will save time in the long run instead of developing the model from scratch. As required to run the model, Bolton Point will need to provide hydrant flow/pressure tests at 12 locations (as determined by TGM). It has been confirmed that there will be no charge for these hydrant tests. (proposal attached) 2. Tompkins County All-Hazard Mitigation Plan: The Planning Department of TC has prepared a multi-jurisdictional mitigation plan that was been submitted to the NYSDEC for approval to receive grant funding for the individual projects. To be eligible for the grant money, each municipality must adopt the plan by resolution. The draft/sample resolution has been provided. (copy of resolution attached to meeting agenda) 3. Fire Inspector: The Village is need of filling the position of part-time fire inspector (previously held by Joe Lisi). The position was advertised through TC Personnel and only two applications were made. I reached out to both candidates, but we were only able to interview one of them. Chris Hamilton is supremely qualified as a full-time fire firefighter at the IFD and a former fire inspector at the Village of Trumansburg and the City of Ithaca. (terms of offer to be discussed in executive session) 4. WWTP Phase 3: GHD Engineers have provided a scope of service proposal to study the next series of potential projects at the WWTP being called Phase 3. This study will result in an Engineers Report that is needed for the Village to submit a grant application when the next round of funding program(s) comes along. The fee for this study is to be billed hour with a not to exceed amount of $85,000. (contract attached) 5. Borg Warner Industrial Permit: GHD Engineers have been working with the Village on this project for several years, with the most recent efforts to prepare a new Sewer Discharge Permit that is compliant with their new Reverse Osmosis Filtration process and the fact that their operations have recently become designated by the USEPA has a categorical metal finishing industry. Since the original agreement with GHD contemplated more of an overall WWTP “headworks” study, the amount of effort has accumulated over several years such that the current work will exceed the 27 original proposal(s). They are currently looking for an additional $5,000 (to be billed hourly) to be added to the current project. It is important to note that Borg Warner is responsible for the reimbursement of these expenses. (contract attached to meeting agenda) 6. IAWWTP Discharge Limits: GHD Engineers have been helping give technical support to the Village for consideration of how the Industrial Pretreatment regulations of the IAWWTP should be integrated into the Village Sewer Use Ordinance. This process is a result of the original 2003 Intermunicipal Sewer Agreement that required the signing of a “plant to plant” agreement. Due to some shifting of focus (by the Town of Lansing) within the subsequent elections, the industrial discharge limits and plant to plant agreement(s) were never completed. Due to the recent verbal agreement on the new Kline Road re-diversion configuration, the IAWWTP has made it a condition that this work be done as was originally contemplated almost 20 years ago. It is not clear of how much effort will be needed by GHD Engineers to support the Village’s efforts to get through the Industrial Pretreatment and Plant to Plant Agreement(s), so they are proposing to start out with a $5,000 agreement that will be use to cover hourly billings until more is know about the level of effort needed to complete the intermunicipal agreement(s). (proposal attached to meeting agenda) 7. Culvert Right Sizing Project: As discussed at the last Trustee meeting, the final plans for the project have been completed and TG Miller is “standing by” for approval to put the project out for bid. They have submitted a final design report and plans/specs to be dated 10/20/21. The most recent cost estimate is that the additional cost of the inlet improvement on the new inlet/outlet ROW’s will be offset by the savings of not having to jackhammer as much bedrock out to bury the culverts deeper. As a reminder, there are 11 total cross culvert locations, with an estimated combined cost of $765,000. Many of the 11 sites will need negotiation of Easement Agreements to allow the Village to extend the inlets/outlets beyond the traditional 50’ wide ROW. This part of the work is in process and I should have the initial communication/reaction of all of the property owners by the November meeting. My advice is to wait until then to authorize TG Miller to advertise for bids.
