COUNTY BRIEFING
Co Rep Tillapaugh was concerned about the County Youth Bureau . There is a tremendous
lack of attendance to the meetings , also people are not being appointed to the
vacancies as they occur . There are about 7 active members out of 21 . The Town of
Dryden does have an active member (Mr David Morrissey ) . The Village of Dryden does
not have an active participant at this time .
Co Rep Tilliapaugh was wondering about a new law requiring a municipality to pass a
✓ eferendum allowing games of chance sponsored by a charitable organization . Assemblyman
McNeil said that the town would have to pass a local referendum to allow a charitable
organization for games of chance .
Co Rep Tillapaugh reported that the county plans to finish the administration building
at the new hospital . It will cost about $ 200 , 000 , which has already been included in the
bond issue . There is a new public relation person working at the hospital which is
financed by the hospital board of trustees .
Clw Graham wanted to know if the management at the hospital is now under the private
non- profit corporation . Co Rep Tillapaugh said that at this time it is not .
Assemblyman McNeil said that since he has been in Albany he hasn ' t had the opportunity
t o get around and become aware of what was going on in the community . He spoke that
possibly next year revenue - sharing is going to sharply decrease . There will also be a
small tax cut this year .
Assemblyman McNeil wanted to know the boards view on Route 13 by-pass , also the boards
feeling on casino gambling . There is a committee to look at the possibility for
gambling in New York State , New York City is very much in favor of gambling .
Supv Cotterill wanted to know the status of improvement on roads to the hospital .
Assemblyman McNeil said that Mayor Conley did have the tie breaking vote so that
NYSDOT could work on a new design at the octopus . This is closer to being done
than the Rt 13 by-pass at this time .
CITIZEN PRIVILEGE OF THE FLOOR
Mr & Mrs Henry James , 2009 Dryden Rd . , complained to the Town ' Board about a violation
for a special permit issued to Carl Stelick to operate a sawmill . . Mr James said he had
talked with Z . O . Stewart about this . Mr Stelick ' s work hours were to be from 8 : 00 AM
to 5PM Mon thru Sat . 2 weeks ago Mr Stelick drew logs in all Sunday afternoon . Last
Sat morning they were unloading logs at 5 : 30 AM . Mr James said that he thought when the
permit was granted all logs were to be put out in back of the structure . They were
every where but behind the structure . Last night they were drawing logs out at 7 : 30PM
Mr James felt he had a legitimate complaint since there were restrictions put on the
special permit .
(
Supv Cotterill wanted to know if this went on regularly . Mr James said sometime5he would
quit =at5PM and sometimes 6 or 7 PM . He felt that unloading logs would be considered as
part of the operation of the sawmill . This is happening to frequently just to let it go
on . At first Mr James felt it would only be 1 or 2 times , but now it just is getting out
of hand . Mr & Mrs James were only complaining about the hours and noise . They were really
not concerned about the logs being out in front of the structure . Mrs James said at the
time they spoke with Mr Stewart the sawmill was being run all hours . Since Z . O . Stewart
has spoken to Mr Stelick the hours have been cut back . Mrs James didn ' t mind 15 or 20 minutes
after 5 PM .
t Supv Cotterill said that Z . O . Stewart should send Mr Stelick a violation letter stating
the restrictions on the special permit and that they should be complied with . If the
I,
IIIITown Board hears that the restrictions are not being complied with than the Town Board
will take action to revoke his permit . Supv Cotterill felt that the permit should not
Ibe revoked without sending Mr Stelick a statement in writting with a copy of the resolution .
' If it is not complied with by the next board meeting than the Town Board will take action
of revoking the special permit .
IIIClw Graham wondered why he should be given 30 days . Supv Cotterill stated that to take
action for revoking the permit the Town Board would have to vote and that would require
a special meeting unless you wait until the next board meeting . Clw Graham felt that
30 days was a long time and by that time summer would be nearly over . Also , felt 30 days
was very lenient , 2 weeks would be plenty of time to comply with the restrictions .
COUNCILMAN PRIVILEGE OF THE FLOOR
Supv Cotterill reported that there was an informal meeting with the Town Planning Board ,
as to what the towns stand would be on the Rt 13 by-pass . The feeling was that the county
would have to make a few alterations before the board would go along with B- 1 .
RESOLUTION #104 ROUTE 13 BY-PASS
Clw Graham offered the following resolution and asked for its adoption .
RESOLVED , that this Town Board go on record to approve the B- 1 avenue for the Route 13
by- pass .

1lthat the exchange on the McLean Road be closer to the entrance of TC3 just north of
. ! Dryden Village , the feasibility of a 4 lane highway if there will only be a 2 lane

RESOLUTION # 93 APPROVE INTERMUNICIPAL AGREEMENT
TO FINANCE ITHACA SEWER SYSTEM
EVALUATION SURVEY ( SSES )
Clw Graham offered the following resolution and asked for its adoption :
RESOLVED , that this Dryden Town Board approve on the basis of a recommendation
from the Sewer System Planning Committee , the Town of Ithaca , the City of Ithaca
and the Town of Dryden agree to participate in the Sewer System. Evaluation Study
estimated to cost $ 1 , 157 , 000 , allocated according to percentages shown in
Appendix A . The participants are already engaged in a federally aided wastewater
facility planning study of the City of Ithaca Sewage Treatment Plant ( Environmental
Protection Agency , Project # C- 36- 1095 ) . As amended , the project is expected to
cover additional engineering and contractual costs consisting of sewer cleaning ,
internal inspection and minor sewer rehabilitation as described in the grant
application amendment .
The City of Ithaca agrees to provide advance funding for the full 75% . share of
the SSES in anticipation of timely reimbursement by EPA . Each municiality
agrees to reimburse the city for the remaining 25 % share as billed with the
anticipation that upon receipt of the 12 2% state share on eligible work at a
later date , the city will then reimburse the other municipalities for this 12 z%
share .
ENGINEERING COSTS
It is agreed that each participant will pay for the portion of such costs based
on the ratio of linear feet of sewer within each municipality to the total linear
feet , including the proportionate share attributed to Cornell University within
each municipality . The estimated cost of this phase is $ 487 , 000 , of which it is
anticipated 75 % would be federally funded , 12 z% state funded , and the balance
( 12 2% ) funded pro rata by the aforementioned municipalities . The participants
agree to negotiate jointly with Cornell University for reimbursement of engineering
costs attributed to the portion of the Cornell system in each municipality .
( Shown in Appendix A) Engineering costs also include
administration and force
account costs in direct support of the engineering effort .
CONTRACT COSTS
Each participant agrees that contract costs ( sewer cleaning , internal inspection
and minor rehabilitation) shall be shared on the basis of actual cost for work
performed within their respective municipal boundaries . Such costs are presently
estimated to total $ 670 , 000 - 75 % Federally funded , the remaining local share to
be paid as actually expended within each municipality . The participants further
agree to negotiate jointly an agreement with Cornell University for their fair
share of these costs .

CITY OF ITHACA
The City of Ithaca , being grantee to EPA Project # C36- 1095 , agrees that it will
inform and consult with Towns of Ithaca and Dryden with respect to the engineering
and contractual services to be performed as a part of the SSES within their
individual boundaries , and will seek the approval of the individual towns for
any actions proposed to be taken with respect to their respective sewers .
TOWNS OF ITHACA AND DRYDEN
Assuming that ` the City of Ithaca ' s planning grant is amended to provide for an
SSES , the Towns of Ithaca and Dryden agree individually to reimburse the City of
Ithaca in a` ' timely manner , for their share of both engineering and contract costs ,
as noted under Engineering and Contract Costs .
f
The parties agree that the method of allocating costs for the SSES in no way affects
the planning and recommendation of at least two alternative methods of eventual
ownership , operation and maintenance of the sewage treatment facility .
Not withstanding the foregoing , it is the understanding that each municipality , '
including Cornell University , shall in all instances pay their proportionate
share of costs after any federal and state reimbursement are deducted .

Reported she had attended Dog License seminar at SUNY Binghamton .
ZONING OFFICER
10 permits for the month of June . ZBOA held 3 hearings .. 1 - family room on a house
which is to close to the property line - granted . 2- lot without adequate road
frontage on Turkey Hill Rd . - granted . 3 - 3 lots on Whitted Rd - reserved decision .
Reported on Mr Robinson - Judge Newhart gave him this week to finish his job of
cleaning up the property or would pay a fine retroactive to sometime in April .
Mr Robinson said that the county owns the property now , unless he can get it back
for unpaid taxes . Supv Cotterill asked Z . O . Stewart to follow up on the matter and
if the county does 'own the property when are they going to clean it up .
Z . O . Stewart will close his office from July 30th to August 4th for vacation .
Clm Webb was wondering if a special permit would be required for an old mill that
had been used for potato and cabbage storage that has not been in operation for
over 1 year . Z . O . Stewart said if it hasn ' t been in use for a year then the special
permit use runs out . Clm Webb said it would be used for repair and pump storage .
It was decided that there should be a new application for a special permit .
CORRESPONDENCE
Supv Cotterill reported that the County is at a point now to decide on whether or not
they want to form a dog control commission . Should there be one dog contract for all
the towns or do the towns each want one individually . The main difference is that it
will be a state law that the towns are going to have to come up with a Dog Control
Officer and have facilities . The advantage of a county commission would be that all
the fees would be universally equal in all the towns in the county . The committee
from the Tomp Co Municipality Association recommended that the county commission have
one group and one contract , and the towns turn the money over to the commission for
this service from the dog monies collected . The county would like some f gd back from
the towns to see if they would like one contract or to go on their own . Supv Cotterill
said that all money collected from dog licenses are to be used strictly for dog
control , neutering , spaying , it cannot be put in the general fund .
• Clw Graham felt that there should be a uniform fee for all dog licenses , one dog
control officer and facilities . Clm Webb and Clm Metzger were also in favor for
a dog control - county commission . Clm Tarr abstained
