5. Report of Mayor Woodard:
•Mayor Woodard states that she received a letter from a Village Resident who could not attend and wanted it
entered into the official minutes.
Dear Village Board Members,
I am writing because I am unable to attend the Board meeting tonight. I live on Randolph Road and take the
bus to my staff job at Cornell University. I was very annoyed when the Winthrop bus stop was removed, and
was informed by a neighbor that he would raise the topic at tonight's meeting. Since I am not able to be
there to support him, I wanted to voice my firm support for his request to have the bud stop returned. I
understand that there is concern about the number and location of crosswalks, but I would urge you to have
a widely discussed conversation about this, rather than submitting to the priorities of the Kendal
community. The Winthrop stop is the only one that meets the needs of the large community that lives East
of Triphammer. Please consider our needs and restart service to Winthrop Dr.
6
Sincerely,
Jennifer Cisse
116 Randolph Rd
607-882-5626
•Mayor Woodard states that we have had requests for this change for many years. When we took a closer look at
the three bus stops on N. Triphammer Rd. It became clear that we only needed two. The Village Public Works
Committee then purchased crosswalk signage, which will alert traffic that someone wants to cross.
•Trustee Robinson states that there was a question of pedestrian safety where people were not using the crosswalks
to get to a bus stop on the other side of the road.
•Superintendent of Public Works Cross states that the location that residents seem to be upset about is at the
bottom of Winthrop Dr., where there was never a crosswalk across the road. There was a TCAT stop across the
road from Winthrop Drive as an additional location to stop. TCAT agreed that it wasn’t a good idea to have a bus
stop without a crosswalk
•Superintendent of Public Works Cross states that the bottom line is we are not going to add another crosswalk
when we have two other stops within walking distance.
a. Upland Heights Update:
•Superintendent of Public Works Cross states that Village resident Robert Boute's concerns about this project are
unnecessary. The project is not near his property, and there is no potential for water to impact his property.
•Superintendent of Public Works Cross states that the Board fully intends to address stormwater management for
all aspects of this project and work with neighboring residents to ensure there is a solution to any water concerns.
•Graham Feltham of Whitham Design presents the document plans for the Board to review and approve, thus accepting the
Village Planned Development Zone Application for Upland Heights. Plans Discussion on Zoom
•Graham Feltham of Whitham Design presents a clear picture of the area that is proposed to be developed.
7
•Clerk Walker states that the next step is for the Board to decide whether or not to accept the PDZ application and
move forward with the discussion.
•Superintendent of Public Works Cross states that we will need to designate who will be the lead agency for
SEQR. We will then need to move to site plan review by the Village Planning Board at some point.
•Village Attorney O. Shah states that yes, at some time this needs to be determined.
•Village Planning Board Chair F. Cowett states that a PDZ is a zoning change and, therefore, SEQR would have to
come from the Village Board of Trustees.
•Trustee Salton states that he thought the Trustees were the lead agency for a PDZ, and then once the Board
8
approves the application, works through all the specifics of the project, then it would move on to site plan review
by the Village Planning Board.
•Mayor Woodard states that we will need to evaluate this project to decide whether or not we think this is a benefit
to the Village and the community.
•Village Attorney O. Shah reads the PDZ section of the Village Code, confirming the next steps.
•Trustee Salton states that several procedural things will be paid attention to as we work through this project.
•Clerk Walker states that he can pull the previous PDZ notes from former Village Attorney R. Marcus for references.
•Superintendent of Public Works Cross states that the Village Board of Trustees has to evaluate the “weight test”
of ten questions required under the rules establishing a PDZ.
•Mayor Woodard states that we will bring this back to the Board at the October meeting.
•Trustee Salton states that he really wants to make sure this Board figures out a way to eliminate the water
situation.
•Superintendent of Public Works Cross states that we would love to fix this, but the issue is on private property,
where there is an undersized pipe that is causing the backup. He will reach out to this owner and see what options
are available.
b. Love Living at Home, Marcham Hall Request:
•Mayor Woodard states that the Love Living at Home Cayuga Heights Group has requested use of Marcham Hall
on October 11, 2025, at 1:00 p.m. to host a dis to pass open house. The total number of attendees is twenty-nine.
Resolution: 9885
BE IT RESOLVED THAT: the Village of Cayuga Heights Board of Trustees authorizes and approves the use of
Marcham Hall on October 11, 2025, at 1:00 p.m. for a meet and greet open house for Love Living at Home Cayuga

c. Updated Village Job Descriptions and Village Handbook:
9
•Trustee Biloski states that the Village HR Committee has been working on updating language for the Village
Employee Handbook and several of the department's job descriptions. The main focus has been on updating the
number of hours the position requires as well as the required responsibilities.
•Trustee Biloski states that the Village Superintendent of Public Works job description was our main focus since
B. Cross will be retiring at the end of the year.
•Superintendent of Public Works Cross states that he has been appointed each year for responsibilities that fall
under his original job descriptions. He states that this is unnecessary, but did not want to cause any confusion.
•Clerk Walker states that we should start with the changes to the Village Employee Handbook and then move
through the exhibits in order.

f. Regular Board Meeting Time Change:
•Mayor Woodard states that the Village Administrative Committee discussed moving the Board Meeting time to
6:00 p.m. since most department heads were attending via Zoom, and if the meeting went long, then it would not
be a ten-hour or longer workday for the Village staff.
13

the time from seven for the Village Board of Trustees meeting.

6. Report of the Trustees:
a. Greater Tompkins County Municipal Health Insurance Consortium:
•Trustee Salton states that there will be an eighteen (18%) percent increase in premiums for 2026. Reserves are
very low, and a five-year plan to fix this shortage, but this still might not protect us enough.
•Trustee Salton states that last year we had one hundred sixteen high-cost claimants, which took two thousand five
hundred premium payments to fund.

water.

c. Village Finance Committee:
•Trustee Rennekamp states that we talked about the upcoming water rate changes.
•Trustee Rennekamp states that we are also working on improving our processes to monitor how the budget is
going during the year, versus waiting until the end. Every quarter, we are going to compare YTD on budgeted
amounts, and if there is anything out of the norm, we will ask the different committees to talk with their
department heads to get an update on why.
•Trustee Rennekamp states that we will be providing updates on a few revenue accounts, like sales tax.
d. Village ITCTC Committee:

•Trustee Robinson states that B. Cross now has a map of the properties for the Cayuga Heights Road Sidewalk
Project, so he may begin the easement process.
•Trustee Robinson states that the Renwick Brook Culvert Pipe project is still in flux. We are now looking at lining

•Assistant Superintendent of Public Works Cowder states that the solar panels are connected and sending power
back to the grid.
•Clerk Walker states that he expects to see something from NYSERDA on the projected savings.
•Trustee Robinson states that the last major thing to install is a new control panel, but other than that, we are ready
to have an open house.
h. Cayuga Lanke Watershed Intermunicipal Organization Committee:
•Trustee Hubbell states that there were two interesting presentations, one on the surface soil on the smaller finger
lake. The other one was on the back flows between the two lakes (Cayuga and Seneca) from the Erie Canal.
•Trustee Hubbell states that there is data that shows a direct correlation in the levels of salinity in the Cayuga and
Seneca Lakes since they both have salt mines.
7. Report of Superintendent of Public Works Cross:
•Superintendent of Public Works Cross states that he just spent the last two days engaging with supporting the
International Codes Council, which authors N.Y.S. Codes, through a mentorship for the Town of Ithaca, M.

8. Report of Police Chief Wright: Submitted Report (Exhibit 2026-067)

it cost the Village only $4,600 a year.
•Chief Wright states that the only other topic to discuss tonight would be fulfilling the vacant full-time patrol
officer position.

hourly rate for the resolution.
a. FLOCK Cameras:
•Trustee Salton states that he is not against the program or saying that the Village is doing anything wrong. He
believed the benefit outweighs the potential for misuse.
•Trustee Salton states that he is concerned about information from those cameras getting into the hands of an
agency that is working on immigration issues.
•Chief Wright states that there is always a potential situation where, as technology continues to push forward,
sharing information is used.
•Chief Wright states that our four cameras are owned by us and only our officers can access them. There is only a
30-day retention on data that is collected. There is no way anyone can get into our system.
•Chief Wright states that we get requests for information all the time. We can either accept or deny that request.
When accepted, the only thing an agency can get is notification that a particular car or plate has a “hit” on our
cameras.
•Chief Wright states that none of the cameras in Tompkins County are “live”; they are all still shots.
•Chief Wright states that this tool has proved itself time and time again to be vital in the timing for prioritizing
public safety.

concentrate on the Northeast section of the Village.

line breaks because they are now showing up more dry, and also because of the drying of the ground, which moves
the pipes as well.

resulted in a revenue of just over nine thousand dollars.
10. Report of Clerk Walker:
•Clerk Walker states that he has no action items for the Board tonight.

year as well as last year. The difference is around twelve thousand dollars.

pass a resolution to relevy them onto the Town and County tax bills. We are then made whole sometime in the
spring of 2026.
•Clerk Walker states that Deputy Clerk Perkins is waiting on the department heads' article for the Village Annual
Newsletter. We hope to have that out in the mail by Thanksgiving.
