COUNTY BRIEFING
Co. Rep. Lane - reported on solid id waste. The Supreme Court
overturned the flow c• ant ro 1 law which means the county can no
longer use flow control as a method � .f collecting revenues. The
county has to � pay for more than just solid waste disposal but for
all � �f the other costs of recycling, closure � �f old landfills and
DR 7 costs. The county lowered the tipping fee to $55.00 a ton.
This will be a short fall to the county in the neighborhood of
one million dollars in 1994. The county is looking at ways to
meet that short fall. He feels there will be an increase in the
annual fee and there will be various levels � �f cuts. There is
public controversy r� �versy over the solid waste and recycling center that
is to be built. He would be glad t� � hear any input from the board
members or, this issue because he has not made up his mind as yet.
He would like to see a review of the figures showing the income
projections. He is also concerned as a Dryden representative as
to what happens if we don't have a solid waste recycling center.
After DR 7 comes DR 1 which was the fall back site. He feels
there are forces at the county level that would like to see a
landfill in Dryden.
Co. Rep. Lane - reported that he has riot forgotten illegal
dumping. He has drafted a resolution to take before the
isgovernmental affairs committee and solid waste committee mittee for
discussion,

Supv Schug - he was surprised to learn that less than 50 percent
of the dogs in the county are licensed. Don licenses has been in
effect for 30 � �r 40 years. If you can't license most dogs why
would you embark on another ors Ject and maybe only get 20 percent

Clint Cotteri l l - the Town of Caroline suoervisor was at their
cat task force meeting. He made the remark that since he has been
supervisor he has had 6 different di,Ig enumerators and none of
them ever finished the Job. Only one third of the dogs are
licensed and he can't hire any_ � one to do the enumeration, so haw

Clint Cotterill - at the task force meeting last week the SPCA
had a proposed posed reso 1 ut i � �n they wanted the committee to recommend
to the county committee to get to the county board before August.
Co. Rep. Totman reported that he was riot opposed t� � the licensing
of cats, but he thought there were no votes on the county board
and no way the present proposal would be passed. The task force
committee was to stop at the present time and start an education
program. They will probably send the town a lot of statistics and
information for the next few months. He did not, think there would
be a proposal this year, but the SPCA will try and dream up what
their next step will be. They will keep this task force together
and decide how t� � educate the town boards that are not opposed to_
it. It was suggested that when dog enumeration was done they have
a questionnaire and ask for information regard i rig cats. The SPCA
wants t• � now do statistics and an educational pr1ogram. There is
no place i n New York that has cat licensing or cat control. Co.
Rep Totrnan reported that Cortland County SPCA had stopped doing
cat control. George Totman did say that everything gets started
in Ithaca and Tompkins County. He was hearing a lot of negative
comments that tax payers were tired of being first in everything.

May 194 Activity Report
Rage Two
As you all. may or may not be aware, I've been attending work
shops designed to aid the various Towns and Villages in
complying with the applicable requirements of the ADA,
Americans with Disabilities Act of 1992. As a result, I'm
currently completing a Self Evaluation and Transformation
Plan for community accessible services provided to the
General Public by Town of Dryden Facilities. Those
facilities would include, the Town Hall, the Dryden Lake Park
and the West Dryden Community Center. All of these
facilities need to be One Hundred Percent accessible to the
physically handicapped by January 1995. There is no penalty
for failing, unless the Town were to be sited by the US
Department of Justice, the enforcement agency of the ADA
Law. That is where this analysis and transformation plan
would be a defense. Example, the Town is proposing to extend
the Town Hall and the West Dryden Community Center is under
historic renovation. It would not necessarily excuse the
Town from 1995 compliance, but it should be a reasonable
defense if we have a plan on file which spells out a building
renovation and expansion project scheduled for say the third
quarter of 1995 which results in total facility ADA
compliance rather spend $10,000 to $100,000 on a partial
renovation now. I'll keep you informed.

Dear Supervisor Schug:
During the month of May Dryden Pol.:i.r,e Officers checked the
lake area at least once during their s111.ft per day. Often our
officers are able to check the area more than once during their
shift.
The melting of the snow has made the park much easier to
patrol. Dryden officers are able to check this area more
thoroughly.
Officers have been in contact wi.t;h many people and have
answered many questions about vary.i.ng topics such as park
regulations, state and local. regulations, etc., as well as just
friendly conversation.
Officers' presence, or anticipated presence, helps deter
illegal activity. Many times in the past we have found that
activities in the park can and do sometimes effect activity within
the Village 'of Dryden; i.e.: drunk driving, rowdy and /or
intoxicated individuals leaving the park and travelling to or
through the village.
If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to call.

PLEASE NOTE
The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers regulates the placement of fill and the construction
of certain structures in waterways and wetlands. Over recent years, the Corps of Engineers'
jurisdiction has expanded beyond those major waterways that were traditionally referred
to as "navigable waters."
Please recognize that a determination that no permit is required from the New York
State Department of Environmental Conservation does not necessarily mean that no per-
mit is required from the Corps of Engineers. Likewise, having obtained a permit from the
New York State Department of Environmental Conservation does not relieve anyone of
the obligation to comply with federal law and regulation implemented by the Corps of
Engineers.
We recommend that all parties considering constructing projects consult directly with
the Corps of Engineers along with other agencies to accurately determine what regulatory
requirements will apply to their project.

RESOLUTION #150
RIGHT
OF WAY
LEHIGH VALLEY
RAILROAD
COMPANY
Clm C. Hatfield offered the following resolution and asked for
its adoptions
BACKGROUND: The Town of Dryden has developed a linear park along
the site of an abandoned Lehigh Valley Railroad right -of -way west
of Cornell (formerly C� �t t er i 1 1) Lane for use as a non-motorized
walkway. In order to complete the extension of the park from the
Village of Dryden to � Will ow Crossing, as shown on the attached
sketch, the Town requires use of a section of the former railroad
right -of -way west of Cornell Lane acquired by State University in
1982. This portion cif the railroad bed, located at the very tip
of the College of Agriculture and Life Sciences Harfi_,rd Teaching
and Research Center, runs through a wetland area that is
returning to brush and has never been useful to the Center for
either agriculture or animal science. The Town would develop and
maintain the railroad bed area as a trail for walking, bicycling
and horseback riding. The College believes it to be in its best
interests t• � allow this alternative public use. The surrounding
wetlarjd would remain in its present state as a wildlife refuge.
Under Public Lands Law 34, the Commissioner of General
Services may transfer ownership of surplus State property to a
municipality, in consideration of cane do l lar, when the property
is to be used for recreational purposes. The Town of Dryden is
required to � make a fi srmal request to the Commissioner of General
• Services for transfer of the property. The State University, with
the approval of the College proposes to effect such transfer.
WHEREAS, the State University Board of Trustees has
determined that certain real property hereinafter described is no
longer necessary or useful t� � the purposes of the State
University and the New York State College of Agriculture and Life
Sciences at Cornell for its Teaching and Research Center at
Dryden and is desired by the Town of Dryden for recreational
purposes; and
WHEREAS, the Town of Dryden intends to request the
Commissioner of General Services to transfer jurisdiction • •f the
property to the Town of Dryden for such recreational purposes;
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that the Chancellor, or
designee, be, and hereby is, authorized and directed to declare
as surplus all that property known as the former Lehigh Valley
Railroad Company right-of-way consisting of approximately 3. 189
acres, described as Parcel 1 in the Lehigh Valley Railroad
Company Indenture dated November 24, 1982, located in the Town of
Dryden, County of Tompkins, pursuant t• � the provisions ins of the
Public Lands Law, Section 30 -a and 34 and the Education �n Law,
Sections 307 and 355, and to � take a 1 1 steps necessary to � execute
and approve in the name of and ors behalf of this Town Board, all
documents, notices, maps and any • .t her instruments necessary or
proper to effect the dispitiisal of Such property, subject to the
approval of the Commissioner of General Services.
