SPECIAL MEETING
August 3 , 1981
Present : Supv Cotterill , Clm Tarr , Clm Webb and Atty Perkins .
Minutes of the special meeting held on August 3 , at 5 : 00 PM
Atty Perkins reported on Werninckville and George Junior Republic . The cost figures
for the total maximum amount proposed to be expended on both of these districts are
improper . The annual cost per user doesn ' t change , but the figure that was in the
resolution ; copies of which went to Vrooman Engineers were to low . They only take
into consideration part of the cost of either constructing the improvement or the
sewer extensions . We have new orders for the board members to adopt if it so wishes
ordering another public hearing . The dollars and cents are not going to change .
Atty Perkins said that at the end of the legal notice we should publish , that this
is to correct a technical error in the prior resolutions . The cost per user per
year does not effect it because those figures were correct . The only way ,that we
can correct this resolution is to do it all over again , which has been confirmed by
our bond council in New York . Vrooman is of the opinion that it is a typographical
error . Atty Perkins said that it was not a typographical error . It cannot be
corrected by erasingiit and putting it in right , because a bond council will not
certify it This is important that it is not going to effect anything what anybody
is going to pay . This should be stressed if anyone asks . It is just technical
corrections to cover the maximum amount proposed to be expended . All of the annual
debt service figures are correct based upon the new corrected amounts . The procedure
is that we adopt an order setting a public hearing . If we adopt the order today we
• could schedule a public hearing on Monday Aug 17th and it can be scheduled for any -
time of the day that you want . If you want to schedule it for 5 : 00 PM you can keep
it open for a few minutes , close the hearing , adopt the resolution and you can start
the 30 days for the permissive referendum . The critical point as it was explained
to Atty Perkins for grant applications is to get everything filed within this . federal
fiscal year which ends Sept 30th . Atty Perkins said tha"t .. Morrell Vrooman Engineers
had the copy of this for 50 days before they had called him .

TOWN BOARD MEETING

Minutes of the Town Board meeting held on the 11th of August
..
Supv Cotterill called the meeting to order at 7 : 30 PM
Members and guests participated in the Pledge of Allegiance

Supv Cotterill appointed Clm Jordan to audit Highway bills
CITIZEN PRIVILEGE OF THE FLOOR
Charles Erxleben from Kirk Rd in Etna presented the Town Board with a petition , O
and would appreciate the board looking into this ' matter and do something for them .
Mr Erxleben said that he was talking about the length of Kirk Rd . There are between
2 and 3 hundred people living on a road in less than a mile . The road is all broken
up because of Cornelius ' trucks using the road as a short cut . He has lived on this
road every since it was a dirt road . It has never been blacktoped . It has been greased
and stoned . We also , have a one- lane bridge there , the town calls it a bridge but we
call it a crossing which is disintegrating . Just about the time that it goes will be
when a school bus is crossing it . You can ' t run 18 or 10 wheelers loaded with tons
of gravel over that road . You can ' t get on the road now from Rt 366 without having
to go on the shoulder to get up on the road . We would like the board to look into it
to see if there is something that can be done about it . We have 1000 kids on the
road and the trucks are traveling it night and day . The town does come up and patch
the holes which does not do any good , it is just a terrible road . The patching doesn ' t
last because there is not a permanent base on the road and the big 18 wheelers use it
every day .
Supv Cotterill said that he will give this information to the Hwy Supt .
Mr Vrooman wanted to give the Town Board a major word of encouragement . There were
some words that were passed around which came out of Albany to the effect that you
didn ' t get the paper work done in time and this is not true . Mr Vrooman said that
they have had good cooperation from everybody , which you all know because you
have worked on this together with the Village Boards of Dryden and Freeville .
Everybody is very cooperative . Also , they have had excellent cooperation from DEC ,
Cliff VanGiler in Albany which they have been closest to . They just came from
Syracuse today after meeting with Bob Torba , who is an environmentalist , and Steve
Lackey , the engineer and co- ordinator with them . They have been working hard with
you all . One thing that came to be somewhat of an upset , is the change of the plant
location in Freeville , which came in last Wednesday and has caused a lot of confusion .
The picture now , after a conversation this afternoon from Steve and Bob in Syracuse is
that there may be a delay , but there are funds coming your way that will be available .
We are talking about 75 per cent funds including those for the laterals of the sewer
which are quite important to you for your street sewers in the Village of Dryden and
in the Village of Freeville . Mr Vrooman went through the amendment to the Facilities
Plan , which is because of the change of the plant site in Freeville . One thing that
is hard to realize that the state with all of their rules and regulations and their
ideas for a study of an area have created this tremendous complicated factor which
really isn ' t logical . All of a sudden now we are taking care of the Village of Dryden
as the Village of Dryden ; the Town as a seperate entity and there being tie- ins to the
two villages and the Village of Freeville as the Village of Freeville . In the process
as you know this has .- led from one study to another study to another study . This
represents the amendment which is the basic engineering document of the 3 grant
applications which have to be submitted as far as the engineering is concerned .
On Aug 5th Supv Cotterille met along with Mike Lane , Carol Burgess , Mr Frank Speno
from George Junior Republic along with Steve Lackey the engineer , Bob Torba the
environmentalist from Syracuse in Region 7 , there were 2 from our office Lee Mitchel
and Rick Shearer , 2 archeologist , John Anderson from the Tomp Co Health Dept . ,
and Harris Dayton owner of the area for the treatment plant sites . The original
one and the new one that was preferred by him and was agreed upon by all concerned .
Mr Vrooman handed copies of the plan to the board members and covered the highlights .
The following changes were made with a mutual agreement from all of the parties . The
Village of Freeville , which deals basically with the village because the town hasn ' t
changed but only bring you up to date because you are all a part of it . The previous
recommended treatment plant site is now unacceptable to the property owner . The site
suggested is acceptable to the property owner and is fully acceptable to all concerned
( all of the people is has just mentioned ) . We have on the third page in the report
a comparison of the relative merits of the 2 sites . The basic differential - the
item current land use - the original site was past active agriculture second growth
wet land , and the new site is abandoned field with some brush growing up . The
comparison value of the land estimated $ 300 to $ 600 an acre of the original and the
new site $ 1000 to $ 2000 an acre . The other items which show the new site to be of an
77.
advantage access , distance to the nearest home , prevailing winds no change , soil
is better for the point of view that they are less desireable from the agricultural
point of view . The poorer the soil the better for the treatment plant , development
potential flow of the new site . Environmental effects no change , effects on wet lands
none , effect on flood plains none ; effect on wildlife minimum . The question came up
that we are now in a new ag district and people start to get concerned about that .
Since he didn ' t know anything about it he was advised to call Frank Liguori , County
Planner . Mr Vrooman said that he asked Mr Liguori if this new site in the ag district
would create a problem? Mr Liguori said that it would not because you have a
cooperative property owner and if he has taken no tax advantage of . beingpin the ag
district he is perfectly free to do whatever he pleases with the land . There is no
hold on it . If he had taken some tax advantage which appears to be unlikely according
to Carol Burgess , then he would have to pay back a proportionate share . Mr Liguori
said that because of the tax abatement law tie him and he is free to do as he pleases .
The location was selected in the field by ourselves and by environmentalist Bob Torba .
As far as the environmental point of view and the engineering point of view it was
• satisfactory to all . A word of comment is the reclassification of the stream . Here is
some news as of this afternoon and reading from this report is if the Village of Dryden
is unsuccessful in its application to obtain reclassification of Virgil Creek from
CT which is intermittent to C ( this would down grade it to the point where you don ' t
have to treat it , a requirement that you would have to if it continues as it is now )
than the treated affluent from Dryden Waste Water Facilities would also utilize the
Freeville Treatment Plant outfall discharge to Fall Creek connecting just down stream
with the Freeville Waste Water Treatment Plant chlorine content tank . George Junior
Republic affluent will be conveyed to Fall Creek via the Dryden outfall to the Freeville
Waste Water Treatment Plant outfall . This will furnish the dissolution which it
would be unneccessary for Dryden to put in a very expens Ne high degree of treatment
if they go into the present point of discharge . Mr Vrooman said that the best
understanding he has of George Junior Republic is that their affluent is going offf
into some sort of a marsh .
Supv Cotterill said that now it is going through 2 culverts and into a swamp and then
seeping into the creek .
Mr Vrooman said that at the point of discharge it is unacceptable , but thanks to the
swamp it is some type of lagoon treatment at the point of coming into the stream .
Supv Cotterill wanted to know if they have been ruled that they are eligible for aid ?
Mr Vrooman said that they were eligible to the extent that they have an intercepter
and the connections into the line would be eligible . As far as the sewer within
their streets there seems to be some kind of a complicating factor . It is his
impression that they would go into the pipeline if the pipeline has to be required
for Dryden . A further comment on that which has come as sort of a shock this
afternoon according to Steve Lackey is that the state has cut back in its encon budget
to the extent that it has eliminated the wet water quality section that was headed by
Jerry Bresner , which now he has no staff or money . Mr Vrooman said he finds this hard
to comprehend . The comment is because of that they can ' t consider the reevaluation
o f the classification which doesn ' t make sense just because they donut have money in
the budget . He would think that one way or the other they would have to consider it
if they had to put somebody on it special . The indication was , there was no staff
there is no stream quality section anymore , therefore you and the Village of Dryden
will have to put in the pipeline , which this doesn ' t make sense . You cannot put
anything through wet lands . Environmental effects of the relocated Freeville Treatment
Plant , a new western site proposed as overall lesser environmental impacts in
construction on the original or eastern site . There is a page and a half story that
t ells you why in detail item by item in the report I have given you . The ag lands ,
production , woodlands , soil , wildlife and the remotness of human habitation .
Clm Webb wanted to know if Mr Liguori said there wouldn ' t be aL Y problem with the ag
• district ?
Mr Vrooman said that if the property owner hasn ' t taken any advantage of the tax
✓ eduction there would be no problem . It would be as if the ag district didn ' t exist .
Clm Webb said _ . that if you take $ 100 an acre land and give a person $ 1500 an acre for
it or $ 1000 he all of a sudden has 10 times better land than when it was in an ag
district . The problem would be his because the assessors can come back and tell him
that it is $ 100 an acre land and you are selling it at $ 1000 an acre . That is an
advantage isn ' t it ; if you are selling $ 100 an acre land for $ 1000 an acre ?
Mr Vrooman said that it sounded good .
Clm Webb thought that maybe he wouldn ' t have a problem and he can get away with it ,
but felt that they could come in on him if they wanted to .
Mr Vrooman said that the next several pages of the report there is the Freeville
gravity sewer to the Freeville treatment plant , intercepters sewer cost estimate is
broken down in 3 pages . One question that was raised which seems to be of concern
o f Steve Lackey , is that you can ' t put in 18 inch sewer pipe for any $ 33 per foot ,
so we returned by stating a little over less than a year ago in the Village of
Dannemora we took bids on over 5 , 000 feet of 18 inch sewer pipe , 6 ,to 8 foot cut
(21) \
. .
and their low bid was $ 23 , 6 to 8 foot excavation , 18 inch sewer page in the ground .
Our estimate that they were questioning ; $ 13 for the excavation and $ 20 for the pipe
for a total of $ 33 . Our proof of bidding was $ 23 . 00 and we are way to the good . The
actual length by virtue of this change approximately 18 , 500 feet , there is about 300
feet in the ground already , so we are that much to the good . The footage turned out
to be almost the same at either plant site , and the number of manholes , thanks to the
planning and acquiring the abandoned railroad property means that we will go straight ,
because of that we go from 42 manholes to 35 manholes . We saved 12 manholes and they
are being bid at around $ 900 each . So money wise as far as that line is concerned you
are in . As far as bidding is concerned and our estimates are concerned ; We were at a
Village Board in HighFalls , Orange County and received bids on part of a major project .
We have a grant there that totals about $ 7 million . There were bids on contract on
all sewers , 11 bids and they ranged from low bid of $ 912 , 000 to a high bid of $ 1 , 700 , 000 .
That $ 912 , 000 compares with our estimate of $ 1 , 300 , 000 which is almost $ 400 , 000
under our estimate . The other point to finish would be the cost estimates which
he just mentioned and this is the Freeville gravity sewer to the Freeville treatment
plant intercepters sewer cost estimate . There are two others that he doesn ' t have
with him . This does not effect the Village of Dryden because by sharing costs with O
the Village of Freeville on a few hundred feet and the line being basically the
same it . With the relocation of the Freeville treatment plant , the Dryden half will
also have to be relocated to minimize impacts on the active agricultural land . The
line uses the former railroad bed , and Virgil Creek valley is easily crossed ,
utilizing the existing railroad fills either side of the existing railroad bridge
plus a suspended crossing at the bridge itself . This was of concern which was easily
solved as far as the environmentalist was concerned . The relocated line has minimum
environmental impact as no wet lands or flood plains or other sensitive areas are
disturbed . For the Village of Dryden they have revised construction cost estimates in
the report . As the estimated costs are the same as previously estimated for the Dryden
outfall no change occurs ; in annual costs projections or overall : project costs .
This also has less impacts on local homes , businesses , or farms so it is an improvement
to the project plan is the end of the amendment of the facilities report . This will
have to be in Albany tomorrow morning and there are 2 copies in Syracuse now . They
✓ eviewed it this afternoon and they wanted the wet lands put on a special tax map
and this is their ultimate request . There is one factor that is important and that
is the archeological report . He had a telephone conservation with the archeologist
to the effect that she has basically completed .everything , except some minor additional
work that she is going to pick up in Etna and Yellow Barn Rd sub- division . She has
covered Etna within the streets and tomorrow we will have flagged out some of the
r- o -w in Etna and Yellow Barn Rd area which she has to look at . Apparently she
isn ' t finding very much and the price will be about $ 5 , 000 . She said she will have
her basic report to DEC by the end of this week . She is coming back from some
work she is doing in Elbridge on Wednesday night and she hopes to wrap up the rest
o f it on Thursday and Friday make sure the bulk of everything is to DEC on Fri .
before the 15th on Sat . The other part of the picture is that you have this
amendment to the facilities report and you have a requirement to put it on file
( file of the commission ) which he has the copies . It is on file for 30 days and
then you have a hearing which is advertised , and this is a routine thing . It doesn ' t
matter whether people come and have a problem or don ' t have a problem . You go through
the hearing and make your finding and there should be no problem because the
amendment is advantageous all around . A resolution is then adopted and there is a
30 day period , but that 30 days this week or next week still, swings you through
September which is in the federal fiscal year . The comment this afternoon was to
the effect that there seemed to be projects that are dropping out to the point that
they couldn ' t make it . We have the material , with you passing your resolutions to
submit the grant applications . They anticipate ' that they will have the funds available
for December . As to the availability of funds we found that people sitting in Albany
can ' t arbitrarily , verbally. -- set a date and say after that date you are through , you
have had it and this is an opinion , but he thinks its an act . You and the Village
o f Dryden and the Village of Freeville and ourselves have never received any written 411
notice to the effect that you have had to have certain things in by a certain date
o r else you lose your grant opportunity . Mr Vrooman wanted to know if he was
correct in that the town has never received a written notice ?
Supv Cotterill said that we have never received any written notice but it was made
quite clear last Tuesday that the deadline had gone by and the material wasn ' t
there . No one has given him any assurance other than your statement that anything
has changed . Mr VanGiler called the Mayor and told him it was all over .
Mr Vrooman said he knew and then everyone loses heart .
Supv Cotterill said = thht it : would.:Tb &' the =_last aoid if we don ' t get DEC approval ,
because you can ' t very well get grants if DEC hasn ' t approved the feasibilty study
that has to be approved even before you can talk about grants and he has no information
in his hands that they are even close to getting a feasibility study approved . You
make it sound good , but when they talk to us they don ' t make it sound so good .
Supv Cottetill said that he wasn ' t disputing his word , but he has heard nothing from
anyone , that anything has been changed in the last week .
2i
Mr Vrooman said that he was going in there fighting and going in with a very positive
point of view because they have done this before . We had the Town of Highland Falls ,
south of West Point and they had a grant request for a little over 4 million dollars
and they had complication after complication to the point where they finally contacted
the assemblyman and the assemblyman contacted the senator and they got busy and pretty
soon it got smoothed over . He went to their meeting last week Mon and the Town Board
passed the resolution to sign the grant application and they are on the road . Our
engineer took it the next morning and said you know we have been talking about giving
you the Step # 2 , which is planning only , but now as the picture is money wise , so
many projects have been dropping out to the point that we can assure you with
reasonable assurance they will get Step # 2 and # 3 which means planning and construction
which is the works of all that they can give you . Mr Vrooman read from a newspaper
that was printed in the Highlands " in view of an August 15th deadline for filing
application - deadline" - Mr Vrooman said this is made up by individuals saying well
411 we like to push them along so that we will have more time to review them . It is a
personal thing it is not a legal thing set up by DEC .
Supv Cotterill said that at the meeting last week Torbas said that it would take
him more than a week to do his job and he only had a week to go . If you are just
getting him this material today , the week is already gone by . Supv Cotterill wanted
to know if something has changed since then?
Mr Vrooman said that he thought that something has advanced by an individual who is
in the department , who was told what to say because they wanted to push them along on
a schedule since they didn ' t want to get loaded in a certain period .
Supv Cotterill said that he would like to hear something from Mr VanGilder and
Mr Torbas in writting that says they are considering .
Mr Vrooman said that they were with Mr Torbas today . Rick Shearer said that funds
were available this fall and to plug away because there are other jobs dropping out .
Suvp Cotterill said that he has no objection but it is a little discouraging that
we have gotten in this condition .
•
Mr Vrooman said that the whole thing is frustrating and it is to them . As far as
this project has moved they have been 10 years of studies . They have spent over
$ 400 , 000 . 00 , most of it federal money that was forced upon them to combine with the
Village of Highland Falls , don ' t combine with the Village of . Highland Falls , .
environmental assessment study , environmental impact study called a piggy-back .
When we started , the town went and bought the plant site about 10 years ago and now
they have gone all the way around through $ 400 , 000 . 09 not of their selection , and
they are back to the same plant site and the same basic area to be served .
Supv Cotterill said that he wasn ' t interested in a study they would like to see
some of that money spent to do some good . ' He wanted to know what we had to do
or what had to be done because he had assumed that ' we have done everything we have
had to do ?
Mr Vrooman said that one thing is that you have received the change of plant site
in Freeville which is the amendment that you have to adopt a resolution for .
Atty Perkins wanted to know if this resoltuion would tie the town into going to
construction ? Mr Vrooman said no , that it is an application for a grant and if
you get the grant then you have to accept or reject the grant . In other words , it
is asking for a grant offer , it is not asking for a commitment to proceed .
Atty Perkins said that it states the applicant agrees that it will fund its portion
of cost of said water quality improvement project , it doesn ' t say anything about
accepting or rejecting a grant . Apparently if you get the grant you have to go ahead .
• Mr Vrooman said that the way it was explained to them was that you are going to get
the grant offer and you have so many days in which to accept the grant offer . He
thought it was 45 days to accept or reject it .
Atty Perkins wanted to know if this resolution would tie the town into any engineering
agreement contained in these documents which were delivered to his office last Fri ?
Mr Vrooman asked if he met the resolution itself , because he would have to read it
to know it ? He said he didn ' t know . . .
Rick Shearer said that it was a seperate engineering agreement .
Atty Perkins said that if we the town agrees to go along with Step # 2 and Step # 3 ,
in other words werare applying for a grant of Step # 2 construction plans and Step # 3
construction . Does that tie us into any particular engineering agreement ?
Mr Vrooman said yes : if you accept the grant .
Atty Perkins wanted to know which engineering agreement is what ?
is
Mr Vrooman said that it/contained ih the resolution . Atty Perkins said then it does
tie us to you . Mr Vrooman said yes . He read from the newspaper " the town could
accept the grant offer when it is made or it could reject all bids for construction
if they exceeded the grant amount " . This is in answer to your question does the
resolution tie you into going ahead with construction , would be no it does not .
Atty Perkins said that if we decided to go to construction we are tied into this
engineering agreement .
Mr Vrooman said yes , which is prepared according to what is now a new set of
requirements of the federal and the limitation actually is a basic copy that was
approved from the Village of Dannemora . They have what they call a 5700- 41 form
which is attached to your agreement and sets forth the costs in detail .
Supv Cotterill said if these are seperate grants for each district they should not
be one grant .
Rick Shearer said that has been changed , one grant for all 3 districts .
Supv Cotterill said that he didn ' t see how we could tie them together , because
there is always the possibility that one district will proceed and one will not .
Our work has to be to a strict district and our bookkeeping and auditing has to
be for one district . There is no way that we can get involved, with a lateral
thing . It very definitely has to have everything seperate .
Mr Vrooman said that somebody in DEC- had an idea to combine them .
Supv Cotterill said that they might be able to do that in the village but the town
couldn ' t do it .
Mr Vrooman agreed but that was , the way they were presented . In other words they want
assurance that if they make you a grant offer you , are going to give them the assurance
that you intend to finance your part of it .
Atty Perkins said that the question is where it says Step # 3 construction plans and
specifications and Step # 3 construction form , the Cortland Rd . , Werninckville and
George Junior Republic Sewer Districts , plural and that seems to tie all 3 districts
is this resolution .
Mr Vrooman said you can do them in 3 seperate resolutions .
•
Atty Perkins said that he thought that it was what they were talking about earlier .
Mr Vrooman said we were , but the way this is worded all 3 are together , so you can
do them in 3 seperate resolutions .
Atty Perkins asked if these 3 resolutions presume formation of 3 seperate sewer
districts which have not been accomplished ? Mr Vrooman said yes the way he
understands it .
Atty Perkins wanted to know if it was going to cause any problems the fact that
the sewer districts are still in the formation stage ?
Mr Vrooman said he didn ' t know . His thinking is to get the application in because
they have to have some examination time in Albany . By the time they come to that
type of question to be asked he thought that you could provide them with that answer .
You are proceeding as he understands it satisfactorily on Cortland Rd as there are
no complications there .
Atty Perkins said that the other question which still hasn ' t been resolved in his mind
satisfactorily is , if we establish the Cortland Rd Sewer District , we do so on the
presumption that the Village of Dryden will accept the affluent if we can get it
that far , transport it , treat it and so forth at a reasonable _ rate which they have
been unwilling to enter into any kind of negotiation . It seems to him , that assume
the Village of Dryden has to pump its affluent to Freeville , that -is our property .
He felt that now is the time to have some kind of understanding with the village ,
about how a decision is going to be reached upon charges for the people in the district
before we agree to anything . We owe it to the people in the district who are
going to be paying the bills to protect them as much as possible .
Mr Vrooman read a letter from the Village of Dryden in reference . to Cortland Rd
Sewer District . " Please be advised that the Village of Dryden will accept and
treat sanitary waste from the Cortland Rd Sewer District in accordance with the
Dryden- Freeville Joint Waste Water Facilities report dated May 1 , 1981 .
A service agreement between the town and village will be executed to the
satisfaction of both in the near future . "
Atty Perkins said that it isn ' t worth the paper it was written on . Mr Vrooman said
he agreed but , it was sent in with the application . Atty Perkins said he didn ' t care
about the application , but he did care about what the people in the district are
going to pay and what this town board on behalf of the district has to negotiate .
That says nothing as far as he is concerned it is an agreement to agree . Mr Vrooman
agreed . Atty Perkins said he would be surprised if the village signs it . We are
not concerned about the grant , lets assume that we get the grant and pass these
resolutions . What about the agreement that is mentioned in there , when does it get
agreed on by all of the people ?
Mr Vrooman said that .you have to agree before you commit yourself to anything in
that district . Atty Perkins said that the time is now .
Mr Vrooman said to pull the page out and send the application in without that page .
Atty Perkins said that doesn ' t solve the problem .
Mr Vrooman said it doesn ' t solve the problem , the problem has to be solved hopefully
with you the town and they the village .
Atty Perkins said that we have made overtures to the Village of Dryden and offered
them two alternatives and they rejected both of them and came back without an
alternative of their own . It is his concern on behalf of the people in this district .
The town board is going to have to negotiate with the village and now is the time
to breach some kind of basic framework agreement with the village . Something has got
to/ made clear to them that they don ' t own the land between Dryden and Freeville and
that we- are willing to enter into discussion about their prospective use of that
and the way charges willlbe determined in the Cortland Rd Sewer District . He knows
• how unbearable the pressure is going to be for the town to agree to that if you let
it go until the last minute and that is not the time to negotiate .
Supv Cotterill said we sent the village a letter stating that the town would like
some indication from them as to how we are going to agree on the charge and gave
them an alternative . If we couldn ' t agree there would be a type of possibility
that there be a third party to agree and they rejected any part of deven discussing
it . They: said that it would not be acceptable to a third party negotiation .
Mr Vrooman said nobody can fool around with this to long or there will not be anything
to agree to , and he knows it is to their advantage .
Supv Cotterill said as late as even the last 2 weeks they have made an indication
that they have a resolution on their books that they will not let anyone outside
the village even come in .
Mr Vrooman said that he would be available if they can be of any help in getting the
village and town together and answer any questions or making any suggestions based
upon their experience with setting rates elsewhere , for what it is worth . The
applications should be inat is week , the commitment to the feasibility study is in
the archeological report / s could be in by the end of this week .
Supv Cotterill wanted to know if a resolution was made to accept this amendment who
does it go to ?
Mr Vrooman said that you are operating with your commission and he would think that
you would put them together with what Hike Lane would send in with the other 2 ,
and Freeville meets Thrusday . You could send a copy to Mike Lane and a certified
copy of the resolution to us and will photo copy it and make sure that it gets to
DEC at its office in Region 7 in the central office .
COUNCILMAN PRIVILEGE OF THE FLOOR
Clm Webb proposed that the Town Board postphone making a decision on Orion Rd since
Clm Metzger was absent .
ATTORNEY
Atty Perkins said that one of the things that have to be done tonight is to have a
resolution to have a special meeting after the hearings on Mon Aug 17th . What the
special meeting is for is to act after we have had the - 2 public hearings on .
Werninckville and George Jr Republic sewer districts . Those were necessitated by
the fact that we did not have a high enough figure in the resolution calling for a
public hearing and the notice that was published for the public hearing did not
have enough .:money . This was discovered by the engineers the last week in July some
50 days after we had sent them a copy of the resolution . It was confirmed with our
bond council in New York with respect to those 2 districts , that if we were ever
going to go to bonding we would have to start all over again or else be bound by the
o riginal amount that was published in the newspaper . Consequently we are starting
all over again with those 2 districts . The map) plan and report have already been filed
and all we have to do is hold a public hearing . The projected user charge , the annual
charge which was disclosed by the engineers do not change . There was some question
about the break down of costs for the . system . The amount that should have been in
the resolution was a total of 2 other sums . The reason they are on the agenda tonight
is that by resolution you should set a special meeting at 5 : 45 PM on Aug 17th in
o rder to adopt an order establishing the districts . The other sewer district that
you see . On the agenda has to do with Cortland Rd Sewer District and the board should
pass a resolution authorizing the supervisor to send the application to audit and
control establishing the district . Upon receipt of their approval you would place
it on the agenda for the next board meeting to enter a final order into the records
e stablishing the district . The contemplated time for that would be sometime in Sept .
at our regular meeting . Those are the 2 things on the agenda . The other half is what
they are asking you to do is adopt a resolution to apply for funding for the Step # 2
construction plans for Cortland Rd and Step # 3 construction for the Cortland Rd
Sewer District . Presumably , according to the engineers , the grant application being
approved you will get an offer for the grant which you will have to accept or reject ,
as he understands it from the engineers . If you accept the grant you will bind
yourself to the engineering agreement which is in the packet of documents who is
Morrell Vrooman Engineers , and the total for Step # 2 is $ 23 , 850 . 00 and the total
for Step # 3 is $ 222 , 200 . 00 . The $ 23 , 850 . 00 is additional engineering costs . The
$ 222 , 200 : 00 is projected construction costs of the Cortland Rd Sewer Dist . Presumably ,
872% of that will be federally funded that would leave you 12%% funding for the
district . In the . resolution you agree that you. will fund your portion of the
improvement . They are asking you to adopt this resolution . tonight to . approve - the
engineering agreement , to give assurance . that you will not discriminate against
anybody , that . you will comply with the Civil Rights Act of 1964 , and that you will
file the appropriate reports . Atty Perkins felt that the Town Board should examine
the documents including the grant application and the engineering agreement before
they are adopted . He thought that it was incredible that you were asked without a
chance to review them to adopt those kinds of resolutions , because we have been
placed in some time restraints . The Town Board should take time and review these
, documents even if we adopt them . on the 17th and that would be appropriate . He
couldn ' t give the board his assurance that he understands ` everythingthat is in .
there from these engineers . As. you saw there was some confusion : on their part
and they prepared the documents tying all 3 districts together . This is not his 411)
• understanding at all . . -
Supv Cotterill said this is common because they brought the joint sewer people a
feasibility study at 8 o ' clock at night and it was supposed to. be in Albany at
9 o ' clock the next morning . and they wanted it adopted in 5 minutes . This was
- something that was to have been done last November . The first night that they
agreed to come , when we gave - them a . months notice , to have it there to look at it
they came without it , they said it wasn ' t done so we had a special meeting a week
later and not one person from the town , village or George Junior Republic has seen
anything . They saw it at 8 o ' clock at night when it was supposed to be in Albany
the next morning , . a book real thick and they said to adopt it because it has to be
filed . This is' the same feasibility study that I was asking the engineers tonight
what DEC ' s reaction is , because as late as last week DEC has said that they have
not, had a feasibility study filed that they can accept . - This archeologist study
has been pending for 8 months and they are now trying to decide where to do something
in Yellow Barn Rd and Etna that hasn ' t changed in . 7 months . Tonight he ' is talking
about getting it done by the end of the week and they haven ' t done anything in 7 months .
Supv Cotterill wanted to . know what has . to go . to audit and control and if anything
is gained , by delaying it ?
Atty Perkins said that audit =.and control was of the opinion that the thing would
come to pass sometime. in December and encouraged us to plug ahead and form the
districts . All thee board needs to do is authorize the supervisor to sign the
appropriate application to audit . and control and the town clerk and supervisor
would forward the necessary documents for approval by them .. If the . documents are
received back here or if word is received back approving it from audit and control
the matter can be placed on the agenda for the Sept meeting .
RESOLUTION # 99 APPROVAL FOR SUPERVISOR TO SIGN• • THE
APPROPRIATE APPLICATION TO AUDIT AND
CONTROL
Clm Jordan offered the following resolution . and asked for its adoption :

_ . _a_p.r.inciple of a corporation Or otherwise responsible for the premises at 1725 Dryden
Rd . , tax parcel _ l46- 1- 14 . 31 . Mr Clement was noticed by the building inspector to
correct certain alleged violations of the mulitple residence law' and was noticed
for his failure to comply within 30 days is a misdemeanor , punishable by ' a fine not
to exceed $ 500 . 00 or 'by imprisonment for a period of 1 year or by both . To his
knowledge he has not contacted the ' Zoning Officer or corrected the problems .
Zoning Officer Stewart said that he may have corrected them , but he has not contacted .
him .
Atty Perkins said that he had a proposed resolution that the Zoning Enforcement Officer
and Town Attorney are authorized to prosecute Edward Clement in the Town of Dryden
Justice Court for the violation of the New York mulitple residence law .
Clm Tarr wanted to know what happens if he has corrected them ? Is he in any way
required to notify us of the correction ?
Atty Perkins said that presumably , that to his knowledge he has not allowed the
Zoning Officer into the apartment in question to inspect it at anytime .
Zoning Officer Stewart said that he had been in only one apartment that a tennant had
let him in . He has never been in any of the other apartments . The only reason he
went there was because a tennant had . requested him to go there .
Atty Perkins wanted to know . if the Zoning Officer knew if the door was now of solid Core ?
Z . O . Stewart said that he did not know .
Atty • Perkins wanted to know if the stairs were 3 feet 8 inches or more in width ?
Z . O . Stewart said thathand rails had to be installed because the stairs are over
3 feet 8 inches in width . \
Atty Perkins said that there are certain things which are easily checked before the
process is handed out . •
•
Clm Tarr felt that these should be checked out before a resolution is made .
Atty Perkins said that he -was notified in May , to remove the violations .
Clm Tarr said that for - all we know he has . Atty Perkins said that we don ' t know that
he hasn ' t . •
Supv 'totterill said that ' he should notify the inspector and allow him to check it .
Clm• Tarr wanted to know where is says that ,. It just says to correct them it doesn ' t
say correct them and tell me . He wanted to know is Z . O . Stewart had been back there
to check and if he would let ' him in .
Z . O . Stewart said that he hasn ' t been back since the letter was written . He made a
couple of appointments to start with and he would never meet him . There are 3 apartments
that . he has never been in .
Supv ' Cotterill wanted to know if something happened ' if there was a fire or a disaster ,
does the 'town have liability ?
Atty Perkins said that we do not . Clm Tarr agreed with what Mahtlin i. was saying , but
felt that Sib should go out there and make a check . If there is one of the problems
' that hasn ' t been fixed then okay that would be it .
•
al
Atty Perkins said that you could made a motion in the resolution that in the event
that an inspection has been made by the zoning enforcementi:officer reveals that some
o f the conditions are in violation you can then bring appropriate criminal proceedings .
Supv . Cotterill said that in refusal to let him inspect it is as much as saying that
it hasn ' t been corrected .
Clm Tarr wanted to know what authority Sib had to go in ? Atty Perkins said under the
multiple residence law .
RESOLUTION # 102 VIOLATION OF THE NEW YORK MULITPLE
RESIDENT LAW - Edward Clement
Clm Webb offered the following resolution and asked for its adoption :
RESOLVED , that the town proceed and have the Zoning Enforcement Officer check the
premises at 1725 Dryden Rd within the next several days and if he finds that it is
still in violation that the Zoning Officer and Town Attorney are authorized to
prosecute Edward Clement in the Town of Dryden Justice Court for violation of the
• New York mulitple residence law .
2nd Clm Jordan Roll call vote - all voting YES
Atty Perkins reported on HAMM. Investors , purchaser of the former Elstram Developers
Inc . property in care of Frank Robinson . They also , have been notified of a violation .
Their.. response was that they have the property on the market for sale . , The foundation
presently existing could very well be of an economic value to the future buyer . The
corporation has not been satisfied with the present brokers effort in selling the
property . When the listing expires a new broker will be secured and may show a little
more effort . This letter was dated Jan . 1981 . The violation that they have been
charged with is that construction has not been completed within a year from that date
o f application for a building permit . They have done nothing except tell us that the
property is for sale . Atty Perkins said that there are several -ways that you can
proceed . One would be to grant a criminal proceeding against the corporation . Second
would be to bring a civil proceeding by nature of an injunction to compel the removal
o f the foundation for violation of the zoning ordinance .
RESOLUTION # 103 VIOLATION OF TOWN OF DRYDEN ZONING
ORDINANCE - HAMY INVESTORS INC .
Clm Jordan offered the following resolution and asked for its adoption :
RESOLVED , that the Zoning Officer bring a Criminal Proceeding against HAMY Investors
Inc . in the Town of Dryden Justice Court for their violation of the Town of Dryden
Zoning Ordinance and that the Zoning Officer and the Town Attorney are authorized to
prosecute the same .
2nd Clm Tarr Carried
Atty Perkins reported on the LVRR option . The town should empower Atty Perkins to
purchase any of the real property and in the event any expense or finances that enhold
from monies appropriated from the surplus fund . This can be done without a permissive
✓ eferendum . There being no need for a permissive referendum all is needed is a
✓ esolution . The town can convey property to sell it or whatever by resolution subject
to a permissive referendum . We are talking about 118 acres of abandoned LVRR property
in Dryden that was established at $ 250 . 00 per acre . We have (meaning myself and other
individuals ) contract purchasers for over half of that which is east of Ithaca to
Freeville . We have in large part , agreements from adjacent property owners from the
Village of Dryden to the Village of Freeville , and in large part adjacent property
owners from the Village of Freeville north to the Town of Groton line to purchase the
property . The net figure to the Town of Dryden is $ 7585 . 00 . This is subject to being-
✓ educed by 2 factors , which the town has already made a down payment to obtain the
option . We -have computed the acreage to be about 100 acres , and they have computed it
to be about 118 acres . Atty Perkins said that it seems to him that the acreage is going
to be split somewhere in the middle . In addition to the balance of $ 4635 . 00 the
purchase price ; the town will have its proportionate share of the attorneys fees and
•
other expenses which have gone into negotiating the deal with the railroad and recording
expenses etc . including prorating of any taxes if that is necessary . The town will
not be responsible for any back taxes . The only prorating will be current taxes .
The intent of the town and town purpose is to obtain a right- of -way on the property to
place water , sewer , utility or whatever lines necessary . You are going to end up
owning , as it is set up right now , at least the property from the Village of Dryden
south to the center line of West Lake Rd . The concept as it is _ set up is not for the
t own to O any of the other properties . There would be 3 different parcels , Dryden to
Freeville ; north of Freeville to the Groton Town Line ; and East Ithaca to Freeville .
To acquire an interest in that being an easement for r- o -w to place your water , sewer ,
o r utility lines . The way to do it would be for the town to sign its rights of the
option to purchase the property to Atty Perkins as an individual . The consideration
being that if he obtains title to the property he will turn around and grant the town
these easements so that it will not be sold to any purchaser without being sold subject
to those easements . In other words , the right of the town on behalf of itself for any
sewer district or whatever to install and maintain the property for these mains . That
grant will be exclusive to the town . It will not be a general grant to anybody to use
the property , but the grant will be exclusive to the Town of Dryden . The Village of
ag
Dryden cannot say if you grant an easement anybody can use the property including us .
The town would end up owning the 3 areas he just identified and would not have to
have a permissive referendum to get rid of them because you never owned them . All
you are buying is south of the Village of Dryden . As he understands it no decision
has been made right now with what to do with that property , but for the time being
the town will at least hold the property . Atty Perkins said that they have been
successful in purchasing the property from the center line of Fall Creek Rd northeasterly
to the Cortland County line at $ 100 an acre . They have ben unsuccessful in purchasing
the property in the Town of Groton at $ 400 an acre and unsuccessful in the Village of
Dryden for purchasing the property at $ 475 an acre although we had commitments from the
railroad at one time for those prices . The railroad has subsequently backed out , so
the price for $ 200 an acre seems a good price .
Supv Cotterill wanted to know if there was any cost to the town as far as getting
the easements or transfering the property ?
Atty Perkins said that the town would be buying some of the property .
Supv Cotterill said that we really don ' t have anything invested , but we will end up
II/
with the r-o -w .
Atty Perkins said that is correct , in the consideration of signing the option to him
is that he agrees to grant you those easements . * He is there as a title holder for the
purpose of holding title and then conveying it out to the individuals . Before it
is conveyed it is subject to the right of the town to use the property . What the
town has ' to agree to do is to buy the property between the south line from the Village
o f Dryden and said center line of West Lake Rd and to pay its proportionate share of
cost . He would like the resolution to indicate with respect to any property between
the Village of Dryden and the Village of Freeville and the Village of Freeville to
- the Town of Groton Town Line , and any property which can not be contracted for prior
to the expiration."of• ,the.'option that the town will buy that at the figure of $ 250 . 00
an acre . The reason being for that is you have most of the property owners lined up .
Between the Village of Dryden and the Village of Freeville George Junior Republic is
r.. , ,
:a large owner , and they are ready to purchase the property . Now ' that this is in the
final stages and about to become a reality , all of the rest of , the people that so far
have been uncominited will fall in line . In order for everything to go you will have
to have all of the property owners . What he would like the town to do since there will
probably be a sewer line there is to agree to purchase any land that he cannot contract
out . There is nothing that says that you can ' t sell it later and you would have to
sell it subject to a permissive referendum . The only apparent expense there would be
is the cost of publishing a notice that you had adopted a resolution to sell it
subject to a permissive referendum . Presumably we can get all this done with the
few remaining property owners .
Clm Tarr wanted to know what liabilities the town has in the short time that. we own
this property ?
Atty Perkins said that you are not going to own any property for a short time , except
some , but you would have the same liability as any land owner has . Presumably any
✓ isk that anyone is exposed to. ,you will be covered by general liability insurance
with , which you should notify your carrier .
Clm Tarr wanted to know about culverts and fencing ?
Atty Perkins said all your responsibility for that is to be relieved of everyone .
In other words the town would be in the same position anyone else would be in to the
extent that there, is a natural water course or an established water course the town
is under responsibility as anyone else , you can ' t change that . As far as the fencing
goes he couldn ' t answer that but you aren ' t going to maintain them any more than the
railroad has .
Clm Tarr said that as he understands it , a lot of people have been after the railroad
and now they are waiting for some new property owner and that is what he is afraid of .
He wanted to know if there was anyway for us to protect ourselves from this ?
Atty Perkins said that the situation where that may be way back in a deed , that might
have been a requirement for the railroad to build a fence , but the reason for that
was to keep the cows off the track . Atty Perkins said the next step is for him
t o contact all of the purchasers that he has signed up and tell them that pursuant
to the terms of the contract he intends to close the railroad on or about October 15th
and please see that the following sums are delivered to his office prior to that time .
RESOLUTION # 104 PURCHASE LVRR ABANDONED PROPERTY
Clm Tarr offered the following resolution and asked for its adoption :
RESOLVED , that this Town Board assign the Town of Dryden ' s rights and option to
Attorney Mahlon :Perkins for the consideration it being that he will grant to the
Town of Dryden easement rights for water , sewer or utility lines or for whatever
utility purposes the town will require , such easement to be exclusive to the Town
of Dryden .

ZONING OFFICER
17 building permits were issued for the month of July . 7 one- family dwellings ; 2 mobile
homes ; 2 additions to homes ; 1 garage ; 3 storage buildings ; 2 swimming pools and
1 concrete batch plant which was granted by ZBOA last month .
ZBOA held 3 hearings : 1 Freeman area variance for Old Mill Apts because he wanted
5 more apartments . 2- Alexander Kraft wanted a modular home at the Corner of Baker Hill
Rd and ,Rt 366 , which fapily. dwelhings are not allowed in that area . 3- Eric Nielsen wanted
to build a house on Midline Rd . He only had 100 foot road frontage but had about 30
acres in back of the 100 foot strip . ZBOA granted all 3 variances .
HIGHWAY SUPERINTENDENT
Supv Cotterill said that he has a petition from the people on Kirk Rd . complaining
about Cornelius ' trucks breaking up the road and requesting that the road be posted
against trucks .
Hwy Supt Humphrey thought that the board had to make a resolution before a road can
be posted .
Clm Tarr said that they were very concerned about their bridge and wanted to know if it
• was in bad shape ?
Hwy Supt Humphrey said that the bridge itself isn ' t bad it is just a one- lane bridge .
- He would eventually like to take the bridge out and put a big pipe in tQ replace it .
Supv Cotterill wanted to know if it was advisable to post it against truck traffic and
what happens if buses use it ?
Hwy Supt Humphrey said you could post it like the one in Malloryville • to exclude
buses and emergency vehicles . There is a bad intersection at the corner of Rt 13 and
Kirk Rd anyway .
Clm Webb said he has no objection to the trucks , but it is that our roads aren ' t built
for their weight .
Clm Tarr thought that there might be alternatives . Their biggest complaint was the
road itself and the condition to the approach on to the bridge . He wanted to know
if Hwy Supt Humphrey was going to be working on the road ?
Hwy Supt Humphrey said he had planned on it next .week , but there isn ' t much you can do
with the approach .
1'®
Supv Cotterill felt that the Hwy Supt should have the authority to use his best
judgement whether it is advisable or not to post the road . He didn ' t feel that
the board would have to make a resolution to post the road to keep heavy trucks
off . He wasn ' t sure about the town law .
Clm Tarr said he thought you would have to have a resolution according to town law .
Atty Perkins wasn ' t sure and wanted to know what the town did before .
Hwy Supt Humphrey thought that there was a resolution when Malloryville was posted .
He said if you post one road you are going to be flooded with requests to post certain
roads .
Decision was tabled .
CORRESPONDENCE
Supv Cotterill reported that the town had hired a dog warden and he -only lasted
one day after the state man told him all the rules and regulations . Right now
the SPCA has gone back to answering calls in the town . The SPCA has tentatively
agreed to start with the 1982 dog licenses which start the 1st of Nov that the
town would be able to keep $ 1 . 50 per license in the town with no designation to
what it would be used for . It would be tip to the town . They are going to have
a stipulation in the contract that the town has to do an enumeration at least
every 2 years .
Ambulance report .
Supt/ Cotterill said that he has written to all of the fire companies for information
and has only received information back from Brooktondale and Etna .
Supv Cotterill reported on . the City of Ithaca , Town of Ithaca and Town of Dryden
sewer district . Supv Desch told him that it is at a point where they were going to
form the sewer commission and there will be 3 town representatives . We will have
two choices . One is that we can be a joint owner like we are with Bolton Point . We
would be a joint member with one person on the commission along with 2 other town
` representatives . Ours would have to be an elected official , the Town of Ithaca would
also have an elected official . The third person would be appointed jointly and could
be from either area and would not necessarily have to be an elected official . The
Town of Ithaca has said that if we don ' t want to spend the time on this commission
we could contract through them and they would be the owner and would sign a contact
with us . We could be a contractor and they would guarantee us the same rate that
they choose with no extra charge . The only advantage being is that we wouldn ' t
have to spend a lot of time . Supv Cotterill said that he has talked with Jon and
he felt that we should be an owner . He wanted the boards opinion and would like
Jon to be our representative .
Clm Webb wanted to know when this was going to take place ?
Supv Cotterill said that it is in the formation stage right now because they are
applying for federal money .
Clm Webb said that it will no longer be the City of Ithaca Sewer Dist .
Supv Cotterill said that was correct , it will be a joint deal . As it was explained
to him the City of Ithaca will have 4 people on this commission and the towns 3 .
The Town will have veto charge for certain types of things in the fact that there
must always be 4 votes to carry . One must be a town vote and one must be a city
vote . This will not give them full control .
Supv Cotterill reported that Empire Livestock has notified us that they have accepted
our offer - for the land . Their attorney and our attorney will finalize the agreement .

PUBLIC HEARING # 1
August 17 , 1981 proposed Werninckville Sewer District
Minutes of the public hearing # 1 held on August 17th .
Present - Supv Cotterill , Clm Jordan , Clm Webb , Clm Metzger and Atty Perkins
Supv Cotterill read the notice that was published in the newspaper concerning the
proposed Werninckville Sewer District .
QUESTIONS AND/OR COMMENTS
Atty Perkins said for the record and the Town Clerks minutes the reason for the second
public hearing was that this board did adopt an order calling a public hearing for the
proposed Werninckville Sewer District . The appropriate . notice was published and a
hearing was held at which time it was disclosed what the annual yearly user costs
would be . The order calling the meeting and the resolution establishing the district
incorrectly stated the maximum proposed amount to be expended . The maximum proposed
amount to be expended was a combination of two factors . 1 - the districts share of
the Freeville Sewage Treatment Plant and 2 - the cost of the collectors sewers in the
110
district . In the resolution the only amount that was set forth was the cost of the
collectors sewers and it should have been the sum of those two figures . The actual
user costs as set forth in the public notice and as disclosed at the public hearing
as set forth in the report of the engineer are correct . There wouldn ' t be any different
cost to anyone . This is just a technical correction in order to create the district
with the proper bonding authority . This is the only reason for this public hearing .
This meeting was set up at a special August meeting of the Town Board which was held
August 3rd . Notice was published the 7th and posted the 7th on the Town signboard and
the 10 days are up today . The public law requires at least 2 days notice for the
supervisor to call a special meeting and this did not happen because until 4 o ' clock
August 3rd we didn ' t know whether we could get 3 board members to attend . What the
bonding attorneys have asked us to do is to obtain a waiver from all of the Town Board
members waiving any notice that they would otherwise have been entitled to attend that
meeting . There were 2 board members out of town . Atty Perkins said that he would
prepare the waiver and get it to the board members to sign . The procedure today will
be to adopt a resolution subject to a permissive referendum establishing the districts .
Our minutes should reflect clearly when we get to the special meeting that we having
adopted the resolutions` - authorizing the supervisor to sign the grant applications
even though the districts are not formally formed Assumimg, that the 30 days go by and
no one files% the supervisor be authorized to send the appropriate application to
audit and control . We have been informed by the engineer that we should go ahead
and apply for the grant applications in anticipatiion of the districts being formed .
Atty Perkins said this is also the same advice he received from DEC in Albany . One
other thing that you should be aware of and this would pertain to all 3 sewer districts .
The procedure as he understands it is that if and when the application is accepted as
complete and a , decision is made an offer of grant is made to the town for the district .
At that time the town board will have to make a decision as to whether to accept or
reject the offer . Assuming you accept the offer of a grant , it is contemplated the
grant will be for Step # 2 and Step # 3 grant that would be the construction working
drawings and the actual construction . It is contemplated that then the engineering
agreement would be through Morrell Vrooman Engineers . Atty Perkins felt that you
would have to make that determination at this time as to whether or not you want to
continue with them . There is no reason that you cannot make your grant applications
without signing the engineering agreement at this time . The grant application to procede
to Step # 2 and Step # 3 , the working drawings , the requirement for bidders and the letting
out of bids , letting of contracts for actual construction . There is no reason that you
can ' t go ahead and reserve your rights to whatever engineer you want . If that is so
he thought it should be clear in the form of a resolution tohight what position you
desire to take . If you desire to go ahead with Morrell Vrooman all well and good and
authorize the supervisor to sign engineering agreements with whatever additions or
deletions you want . If uou don ' t want to make a decision at this time indicate that .
Clm Metzger wanted to know what happens if we sign the application using Vrooman
and in the interim between the application whether it is granted or not , we decide
not to use Vrooman do we have to start all over again ?
Atty Perkins said no ,„, as he understands it the joint wastewater study and Vroomans
offer with respect - to the 3 districts , he agreed to perform certain engineering
services and functions with respect to Step # 1 grant application . We have received
Step # 1 grant , this is the application which it was to be the by-product or the
product of Step # 1 . With respect, to the districts we are only in for an amount of .
$ 500 . 00 for the 3 districts . Vrooman offered to do the Cortland Rd District for $ 500 . 00
and we adopted a resolution authorizing him to proceed in a cost not to exceed $ 500 . 00 .
As he understands it we owed Vrooman $ 500 . 00 for Cortland Rd and as a gift Werninckville
and George Junior Republic which was his decision to include those two in with Cortland
Rd . He thought that part of his problem was that time was so late at that time and
they didn ' t want to wait another 30 days to go - by for approval of more money .
Clm Jordan wanted to know what happens if the Village of Dryden and the Village
of Freeville adopt Morrell Vrooman and the town goes with someone else 'and wanted
to know what happened when Vrooman met with the Village of Dryden ?
Atty Perkins said he had a copy of the resolution from the Village and believed that
they made their application for Step # 2 and Step # 3 intentionally not making their
determination with respect to the engineering agreement .
Atty Perkins said that he has been compensated for the work that he was to perform
up to this point from two sources . 1 - is the $ 500 . 00 appropriated for by this town
board with respect to the Cortland Rd Sewer Dist . and 2 - the towns share , contribution
and other monies in the Joint Wastewater Facilities Study Commission . From a
technical point of view your financial obligation to him is satisfied upon payment
from the funds of those two sources . Atty Perkins said he would encourage the board
members to look over the engineering agreements because they are open-ended .
1111 All 3 sewer districts are seperate entities and all 3 sewer districts contemplate
seperate engineering agreements , seperate grant applications and so forth . The
resolutions that Morrell Vrooman Engineers furnished the board members with the
other night do not contemplate that , although he told us that was the intent . The
documents he actually presented to us combined Werninckville , George Junior Republic
and Cortland Rd Sewer district . Since the application is being made for 3 grants
and for 3 districts we have to have 3 seperate resolutions . If you are so inclined
to adopt these resolutions we cannot adopt them as the form that they are in tonight .
Closed public hearing 5 : 30 PM
PUBLIC HEARING # 2 •
August 17 , 1981 - Proposed Sewer Diet . George Jr . Republic
Minutes of public hearing # 2 held on August 17th at 5 : 30 PM
Supv Cotterill read the notice that was published in the newspaper concerning
the proposed George Junior Republic Sewer Dist .
QUESTIONS AND/OR COMMENTS
Atty Perkins reported that there was some question as to whether George Junior
Republic as a sewer district would be eligible as a recipient for any grants because
it is a union free school district . He said that would be the Republic ' s problem
since we are only an agent and not a principle here . It will be up to them to work
it out and we will do whatever is required of us .
Atty Perkins reported on the Cortland Rd Sewer Distr. that if has been pointed out to
Vrooman , and has been pointed out to the village that assuming we establish the
district we don ' t have any commitment from the village to accept the sewage . The
implication from the joint study report and from their letter saying that they look
favorable upon the creation of the district . We had written to the village requesting
some kind of a formula for determining user charges and they have not wanted to
discuss either how that formula would be set up let alone what they would be . It
still seems that we are in the same situation because we don ' t have any commitment
from them . We offered them a couple of alternatives about how that rate would be
determined if the town and village couldn ' t agree and they rejected both alternatives
and we still do not have an agreement that they will even accept the sewage .
Supv Cotterill said that Clm Jordan and himself have been appointed to meet with
two village members . He had talked with Mike Lane to have the village choose two
people so they can discuss this and come up with some type of negotiation plan and
each group take it back to their board . Mike said that they would be meeting in the
next week and they would pick two members .
John Chapman wanted to know if George Junior and Werninckville project could not
• afford to pay for the tax would the township have to pay for the taxes due ?
The Town Board didn ' t understand his question so he read from the public notice
" that the Town Board of such town shall determine by the specific any essential
benefits thereof in the manner provided by law if not paid for by such source all
- taxable real property in the Town of Dryden shall be subject to the levy . Mr Chapman
wanted to know what valorem meant:? He thought that if they couldn ' t afford to pay
for it the rest of the town would have to pay for it .
Supv Cotterill said that only the people living in the district will pay for the sewer .
Atty Perkins said that what it says is the Town Board will determine those properties
within the district which are benefited by the establishment of the district and the
construction therein , and they would be responsible in the first instance for the
payment of the principle and interest . If the district is not formed than the cost
of all proceedings up to the formation of the district are a general town charge .
After the formation of the district the properties within the district are benefited .
In the event that the district is formed , the first step is to have a map , plan and
report ; the second is for the town board to adopt an order calling a public hearing .
You then have the public hearing and adopt a resolution subject to a permissive
referendum to establish the district . Assuming the 30 days go by someone files
a petition , they vote down the proposition in that case the only expenses for the
formation of the district up to that point will only be a general town charge since
there is no district . In the event that there is no permissive referendum or if
there is a permissive referendum and the question is answered affirmatively than the
cost of the entire formation process is charged against the district .
John Chapman said that he misinterpreted what he had read in ' the paper then .
Closed public hearing 5 : 40PM
SPECIAL MEETING
August 17 , 1981
Minutes of the special meeting on August 17th at 5 : 45 PM
Atty Perkins said that your resolution has two parts . One is that you make the
findings as set forth in these forms and secondly that we establish the district
making the findings that the notice of the public hearing was published and posted
as required by law . All of the property and property owners benefited are included
within the limits of the proposed district . The establishment of the proposed district
is within the public interest . These are the findings that should be made and also
that the district be established as set forth in this resolution .
Atty Perkins said with respect to each grant application there has to be a seperate
resolution . If you want to simply refer to the grant application for . the Cortland
Rd Sewer District together with the supporting documents authorizing the supervisor
to sign the application , the assurance , and all the documents required therein
except for the engineering agreement . , than that is what your resolution should so
state . In other words you are going to make your grant application , but you are not
going to sign the engineering agreement . The supervisor and town ' clerk be authorized
and directed to sign the grant applications in all of the appropriate places , make
all of the assurances necessary except for the signing of the engineering agreement .
Atty Perkins said that when you get the offer for the grant you have 30 days to make
a decision . When you get the offer for the grant there is going to be tremendous
pressure on the board to make a decision and will be pressure to go along with Vrooman
if you haven ' t made other arrangements . There will be pressure to go ahead and accept
the grant even if you don ' t have an agreement with the Village of Dryden .

Deputy Supv Metzger took over the special meeting and a decision was made on Orion Drive .
Deputy Metzger said that after a discussion with the Town Attorney , the owner must
comply with 3 different areas . 1 - is that the road must meet town specifications , and
there is a letter from the Highway Superintendent dated August 14th stating that it
does meet town specifications . 2- do other people plan to live on the road , and there
already are people living on it and there is another house proposed . 3 - he must comply
to no lots smaller than 10 acres , which if this stipulation is metnthe owner will not have
to apply for a sub- division . These are the 3 areas and the owner said that he is not
going to have any lot smaller than 10 acres so he sees no reason why we don ' t make this
stipulation in our resolution and make it a condition of the acceptance .
George Clay wanted to know with that stipulation is that going to make the existing
lot of 4 acres a nonconforming use and that create a problem with development or
improvement in the future ?
Atty Perkins wanted to know which existing lot ?
George Clay said that there is one lot that a man has bought 4 acres . IP
Atty Perkins said that it is on an existing road .
George Clay said he was not arguing or challenging but was wondering if that would
create a problem for that one particular person ?
Atty Perkins said no because he has always had sufficient road frontage on Virgil Rd .
George Clay said that his driveway comes out onto Orion Drive and was not sure if that
was then classified on that road . What you are saying is a restriction of 10 acres
which he would not have and make it a nonconforming use .
Atty Perkins wanted to know what couldn ' t he do with it ?
George Clay said that he may want to put a garage or barn on it .
Atty Perkins said that owner is not sub- dividing , that is where the restriction is .
Clm Webb couldn ' t see any legal grounds for the town board to turn it down . If the town
tells a person to build a road and it is built to the specifications in the general
ordinance than it should be accepted as a town road . It wouldn ' t make any difference
who built the road . He felt the ordinance should be changed to the fact that you
can ' t build a road , if he does everything the town asks for and then tell him he
can ' t have a road . This should not have anything to do with Clint) it is the way
our ordinance is set up . He could not see any grounds where he could not vote
against having the road , because he has done everything the town has asked him to do .
Clm Jordan wanted to know what would happen if it was voted down and the town taken to
court ?
Atty Perkins said that he would have to show that your decision was arbitrary or
capricious or views of discretion were not founded on substantial evidence . If he
brought a suit against you , those would be the grounds that he could overturn the
decision of the board .
RESOLUTION # 115 . ACCEPT ORION DRIVE AS A TOWN ROAD
Clm Jordan offered the following resolution and asked for its adoption :
RESOLVED , that this Town Board accept Orion??Drive as a town road since it has met
highway and state specifications and the lot size be 10 acres or more .
