Report of Mayor Woodard: a. Granicus Renewal: Since August of 2022 the Village has contracted with Granicus to scrub short-term internet rental platforms to provide more information on who is conducting short-term rentals in the Village. •Mayor Woodard states that she was hopeful that this platform would find most or all of those residents who are skirting our local law and operating a short-term rental without a permit. •Clerk Walker states that Granicus has been able to find two properties that did not have a permit. Those residents were contacted and are now compliant with our local law. •Clerk Walker states that he has reached out to Granicus asking for a reduction in cost since the program has not been successful in finding any non-permitted short-term rentals. •Trustee Marshall states that one of the things Granicus stated in the past is that their evidence to show the number of rentals will hold up legally. If we cannot find them listed how will we be able to prove their in violation? •Mayor Woodard states that we will table this for now and see what Granicus responds with about our renewal. b. Cayuga Heights Road Sidewalk Project Update: A Village taskforce had completed interviewing three engineering firms; Fisher & Associates, Hunt EAS, and Erdman/Anthony •Mayor Woodard states that the presentations were great and now we have to decide which firm we would like to do this project. There is some more background work to be done before we bring this to the Board next Month. •Trustee Biloski states that Erdman/Anthony has a lot of sidewalk experience in Ithaca. Hunt EAS has a great working relationship with T.G. Miller. •Mayor Woodard states that one aspect that we have learned from the Kline Road sidewalk project is that we need a good working relationship with the NYSDOT and both Hunt EAS and Erdman/Anthony have weekly meetings with NYSDOT on all their sidewalk projects 7. Report of the Trustees: a. Sunset Park Update: •Trustee Marshall states that the grant submission is due by the end of July. The next step is for the group to get out 6 letters of solicitation to area local governments to submit letters of endorsement for the Sunset Park Project. •Mayor Woodard inquires about the status of what we are going to do with the slope at Sunset Park. •Trustee Marshall states that two ideas still need to be broken down by cost. One is to remove the invasive plants from the slope. Two would be to replant the top 20 feet with native plants that would overcome the invasives but not protrude above the view line. b. Cayuga Lake Watershed Intermunicipal Organization Update: •Trustee Hubbell states that CWOI will begin a new search for a staff member that has moved onto a bigger role. -Trustee Salton arrives at 7:40 p.m. C. Greater Tompkins County Municipal Health Insurance Consortium Update: •Trustee Salton states that the Executive Committee Meeting of the health consortium has approved a Medicare Advantage Plan administered by the Aetna Group. 8. Report of Superintendent of Public Works Cross: •B. Cross states that Susan Brock from the City of Ithaca is still working on the language for the IAWWTF pre-treatment industrial standards proposed by local law. •B. Cross states that related to the industrial discharges to the WWTP the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has expanded guidance for municipalities to test the Total Toxic Organics (TTO). Our current local law, states that we allow for zero (0) TTOs. With modern technology, we can test toxins or organics down to point zero. (.01). •B. Cross states that the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has a new initiative called the streamlining rule. This will help reduce the red tape when it comes to industrial operations that need to comply with the control agencies (the municipalities) and the EPA regulations. •Trustee Salton states that it will be nice to have both the IAWWTF and our plant working together. •Mayor Woodard states that we are all paid up to the City of Ithaca for the Kline Rd. By-pass except for any sewage that we have sent this year. WWTP Phase II Project: •B. Cross states that the WWTP digesters have been cleaned out of all the old sludge and are ready for their upgrades. After accounting for all the costs, we are ahead by almost $300,000. This keeps the project within the bonding limits of 12.4 million dollars. •B. Cross states that the next step is for Environmental Facilities Corporation (EFC) to determine what our long- term loan amount and payment will be. 7 •In closing Mayor Woodard states that over the weekend we had a large water main break on N. Triphammer Rd. The DPW crew was on the scene Saturday, June 15 from 2:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. It seems that the soil on N. Triphammer is corrosive enough to rust piping. At about the same time they received a call from a Village resident about a sewage spill on Parkway Place. The sewage made it onto the road and traveled down Kline Rd. Mayor Woodard states that it turns out grease had collected in the manhole and that created the blockage. NYSDEC was notified and Lime was recommended to use to disinfect the affected area. 9. Report of Police Chief Wright: Submitted Report (Exhibit 2024-053) •Police Chief Wright states that the new patrol vehicle is getting upfitted and should arrive here in several weeks. •Police Chief Wright states that the department completed several grant-related traffic details. •Police Chief Wright states that patrol activity produced 187 traffic tickets. 10. Report of Director of DPW Wiese: Submitted Report (Exhibit 2024-54) •Director Wiese states that the I Trackers are still having trouble reading data correctly. As a result, the company is providing a cellular connection so that we can monitor them remotely. If that fails, then we can request a full refund and return the product. •Director Wiese states that the NYSEG gas line on Iroquois Place will be moved which will allow us to replace the culvert with the properly sized one. •Trustee Salton asks Director Wiese if he has been in touch with the property owner on N. Triphammer Rd. that is consistently working on the yard and drainage. •Director Wiese states that he touches base with him periodically, we are not sure what the end plan is. 11. Report of Clerk Walker: Submitted Report (Exhibit 2024-055) •Clerk Walker states that the 2023 Village Property Taxes collection is going well, and we expect the majority of the escrow payments to come in this Friday. Once we have that money Laura will move it to NYCLASS. •Mayor Woodard states that the Village has made $46,000 in interest since January. 12. Report of Attorney Kawecki: No report at this time. 13.

Adjournment: Mayor Woodard adjourns the meeting at 9:01 p.m. 9 EXHIBIT 2024-058 July 20, 2023 Honorable Linda Woodard Board of Trustees Village of Cayuga Heights Monthly Report May 2023 We are still cranking out the calls and ended June with 48! We had 22 calls in the Village of Cayuga Heights, 19 calls in the Town of Ithaca and 7 mutual aid requests for a total of 58 runs. There were 25 EMS calls and 23 fire responses. In the middle of the month, we were requested to a home on Roat Street for smoke showing from the home. Arriving units found a heavy smoke condition and determined the fire to be in the kitchen. A rapid attack was made on the fire, and it was quickly extinguished with all fire contained to the kitchen area itself. The homeowners were not home at the time of the fire. We did run a fair amount of mutual aid to Lansing in June. Many of the mutual aid was requested when Lansing was already on another call and needed assistance to cover the second run. In June we split the training between fire and EMS. We did a training on chimney fire operations in the early part of the month. We do not get many chimney fires in our district, but we did have a couple over the winter. Chimney fires are usually easily contained with a rapid response. Controlling the fire quickly before the heat in the chimney causes the structure surrounding the chimney to ignite is key. These fires are hazardous as it requires us to get to the top of the chimney to clear the blockage from the top down. We went down to the training tower to do vertical ventilation practice. Vertical ventilation is used to allow heat and smoke to be released from a hole cut in the roof if the fire has not already self-vented. This operation is also very hazardous as it requires members to be on the roof of the structure with a running chainsaw while there is fire below in the structure. We did a couple of EMS trainings in June. One was on management of the stroke patient. Strokes are an extremely time sensitive call as “time is brain”. Rapid assessment and interventions along with rapid transport are key the recovery of the patient. Late in the month we covered trauma calls and splinting. The contract has been signed for the new E202 and it has been sent into E-One. We will do a prebuild conference in November to finalize all the details for this new piece of apparatus. We will take delivery in late 2025 if all goes as planned. We did hear from Ford and the F150 pickup that was ordered last August is now in the build phase and we are looking at a possible delivery in mid-August. The roofing contractor has had a delay in starting the project and he is anticipating a mid- July start for the project. We have started out Movies at the Station on Thursday evenings. We have had some great crowds, and everyone seems to really enjoy the nights out. We were unsure how the crowd size would be a few weeks ago when the air quality was poor from the wildfires, but it was very well attended. Many parents thanked us profusely for giving them an opportunity to get kids out of the house to be with their friends. This has really turned into an amazing community event.! Our summer staffing is good. We have many members who stayed in town for the summer and are taking classes or working locally. Our fall recruit class members have been taking the summer to take fire training and work on interior checklists. A crew of them are staying in the large overnight room. It is a great environment at the station right now and we are pleased to have all the comradery. We are looking ahead to the fall and are starting to get requests to join the department and will ramp up our active recruiting in late August. We hope to get a group as motivated as the last class. 10 We hope everyone is have a safe and enjoyable summer. Sincerely, George Tamborelle Fire Chief/Fire Superintendent 11 EXHIBIT 2024-059 VILLAGE OF CAYUGA HEIGHTS TREASURER’S REPORT Revenues and Expenses: May and June month end bank-to-book reconciliations are complete and have been signed off by Deputy Treasurer Rennekamp.

A letter will also be sent to all residents that fall on the unknown material list so they can be aware of the upcoming work. 23 July 19, 2022 NYS Department of Environmental Conservation 625 Broadway Albany, New York 12233-0001 RE: Support Letter for Vacuum Truck in MS4 Areas WQIP application To Whom It May Concern: As a regulated MS4 entity and The Village of Cayuga Heights playing a major role in the 2018 Harmful Algal Bloom Action Plan-Cayuga Lake and the 2021 draft Total Maximum Daily Load for Phosphorus in Cayuga Lake (dTMDL), we are providing this letter of support for funding Town of Lansing’s WQIP request for a vacuum truck, which the Village of Cayuga Heights will share with the Town of Lansing, who will own, operate, and maintain the vacuum truck. The vacuum truck would greatly assist the Village of Cayuga Heights in meeting the MS4 permit requirements for Municipal Good Housekeeping, facilitating the cleaning of leaf litter, debris, sediment and associated nutrients from catch basins throughout the Town. Nutrient and sediment reductions can be achieved from removing solids directly from catch basins or from within storm drainpipes. Thank you for your consideration! Sincerely, Linda Woodard Mayor cc: Mikey Moseley, Town of Lansing Highway Superintendent 24 Clerks Report: EXHIBIT 2024-066 Property Taxes: Granicus Update: No response 25 Website Trac Granicus Update:
