COUNTY BRIEFING
Co. Rep.
Lane -
reported that the
county budget is looking good
because
DSS has
had some savings.
They think they will have a 3.5
million
dollar
surplus in addition
to the other surplus from
insurance etc.
There will be different
ways as to how this will
be used.
They are
considering one
time funding, but are concerned
about what the
State might do with
block grants. They are also
looking
at the
tax rate and maybe
reduce that.
Co. Rep. Lane - with respect to the solid waste fee. The County
went to Senator Seward and Assemblyman Luster to ask for special
legislation to allow the county to put the solid waste fee on the
town and county tax bill as if it were a tax. It would show up as
a separate line item on the bill with no additional work for the
town clerks. This should benefit the town since you would reach
your warrant faster. This would also save the county about 50
thousand dollars in administrative cost, bill printing and
postage. The original legislation was set up for Tompkins County,
but it was so well received in Albany that Senator Seward and
Assemblyman Luster amended the bill to make it State wide because
other areas were interested in doing this as well. They have had
a couple of resolutions from Lansing and Enfield in opposition to
this and I feel it is from a misunderstanding about this still
creating a burden on the town clerks. We have tried to make it
clear this is not the case.
Supv Schug - if it is a fee you don't have to pay the fee if you
oppose it. We would get our warrants as we do now and late
payments. Would that fee apply to next years taxes if it was not
paid.
Co. Rep. Lane - with this legislation the taxpayer would not have
the same option as they have now with not paying the fee. It
would be collected as if it were a tax so the whole amount would
have to be collected.
Supv Schug - questioned Co. Rep. Lane as to why a copy of this
legislation was not sent out to the towns prior to` reading about
it in the newspapers.

• Co. Rep. Lane - could not answer that. I know that Tom Todd is
chairman of that committee and sent a letter out to all of the
clerks to clarify this question and this issue had come up. It
came out of his town as a matter of fact. It probably should have
and if it wasn't as a member of the county board I apologize to
you for that.
Supv Schug - I think that is what happened to Lansing and
Enfield. The first thing is to oppose something like that before
reading the fine print.
Co. Rep. Lane - on the other hand, if we were wrong to do that I
think Lansing could have picked up the phone in the mean time and
asked Tom Todd about this. There probably was miscommunication
both ways.
Co. Rep. Lane - the county is working out a deal with DOT
regarding a couple of bridges in Ulysses and Enfield to be
replaced with federal funds. 1.1 million dollars were budgeted
for these 2 bridges which are box culverts. The county questioned
how this could cost so much. We are making a proposal to them to
let the county design them, work with them and come up with a
design from our consultants. If we can have a savings we will be
able to apply that extra money to some other bridge project. Bill
Mobbs thinks we have a good opportunity to spread that federal
money to more projects.
Supv Schug - suggested to Bill Mobbs that they work a little
closer with the towns on all of the bridges.
Co. Rep. Evans

If something like

Co. Rep. Evans
- reported on
the remote
arraignment of
prisoners.
This is being held
up at the
State level
because of a
court case
brought by the
trial lawyers
in Broome
County. They are
arguing
that under the
Constitution it
requires
that a lawyer

his client in
any court

client has that
right.

in the city
Co. Rep. Lane
- as far as I am
concerned
the county board voted
not to do any
more renovation
of Biggs A
building.
There was some
discussion as
to where the building
would
be built
either on the
campus where
the hospital is,
in the city
or some
where else. I
was opposed to
build the building
on the
campus of
the hospital.
I was open to
other locations
or the city.
I voted
for the city
because I think
it makes some
sense to have
it centrally
located.
My feeling is
we should proceed
since we
have made
the decision.
Co. Rep. Evans - I also voted to have the building in the city.
It is more costly to do that, but I think it will make more
sense. There is an advantage to have it in the City of Ithaca
itself. I think it would have cost less to put it at the Biggs
site. I completely believe that Biggs A building had to be
replaced one way or the other. The studies showed the cost of
operating that building vs a new building are such that you have
less than a 20 year break even flow. This is an important point.
That building was never designed to be a hospital or an office
building. It was designed to be a nursing home which is something
totally different. It was built in the 1930's, stone structure
and has no internal steel. The heating and ventilation system are
i
antiquated.
Clp Roberts - wanted to know the status of the 911 telephone
system.

for the 911 system and is restricted for that use. I believe the

CITIZEN
PRIVILEGE
OF THE FLOOR
Steve Kirsh - the commission is doing well with full membership.
The new contract with Cooperative Extension seems to be going
well and they are very pleased with new ideas and activities.
They are looking at the accounts right now and there seems to be
more youth involved in a greater variety of activities. We as a
body try to make recommendations for the programing that also
• extends to the 2 villages. When we started dispensing funds and
looking at programs it was nice. The first year we had many more
requests than we had dollars to make some decisions. We tabled
some decisions until later in the year when we could get
additional information. The village budgets are at a different
time than the town budget and with the 2 primary programs, the
recreation program in Freeville and in Dryden Police and
Community which used to be Officer Friendly. Funds are designated
and recommended there, but in April we found out when Dryden
Village sat down to look at their Police and Community which they
asked for $1,000.00 less I wondered how they did that because I
knew they were strapped for funds. In April they had found funds
from the Youth Service of about $2,300.00 to make it right to
make a correction. At the same time Freeville put some additional
funds in. So direct funds in the area town taxes along with state
and county matches are used in the town. Any surplus tax dollars
that they don't specify to their own youth programs do get pushed
over to be used townwide and the youth commission looks at those.
In April after looking at this we did put in a recommendation for
funding for an additional half time program which would be
through Cooperative Extension. When the commission recommended
for the $10,636.00 it was my understanding that half of that
would be coming from the town and half would still be a county
match because it changes within the village with their
appropriations. It ends up as you pointed out almost a 3/4 town
tax as to 1/4 county because the county funds have been expended
being that both Freeville and Dryden villages have used more
money within their programs so the match is going to the
villages.

Ithaca, NY 14850
RE: Douglas Foster Property
31 Monkey Run Road
Town of Dryden
Tompkins County, New York
Tax Map Parcel #53 -1 -17
Dear Mr. Guttman:
I am writing in response to your letter of April 10, 1996 regarding
• the valuation of various interests in the easement encumbering the
above referenced property. The easement granted to the Town of Dryden
in 1982 provides for the installation of. water and sewer lines and
encumbers more than 50% of the subject building site. The boundary of
this easement actually bisects the residential improvement on the
property. That portion of the easement that is proposed to be re-
leased by the Town of Dryden is outlined in red on the attached map.
As specified in your letter, I will attempt to address the value of
the interest of the Town of Dryden in this area to be released, the
increased value to the Foster property resulting from the release of
this portion of the easement, and the value.of this easement to a
third party.
Fundamental to the valuation of partial interests is the understanding
of the rights conveyed under the terms of the easement. The language
of the easement specifically conveys the following... "The right to
construct, alter, install, replace, repair and maintain sewer lines
and water lines and necessary laterals thereto across the property
more particularly described in a deed to the party of the first part
from Robert C. Halderman, Trustee of the property of Lehigh Valley
Railroad Company dated April 12, 1982 and recorded in the Tompkins
County Clerk's Office on April 19, 1982 in Liber 588 of Deeds at Page
546, together with the free right of ingress and egress over and
across such property, insofar as such rights of ingress and egress is
necessary�to the proper use of any other right granted herein and
• together ith the right to install such other lines, pipes or
mechanic 1, electrical or electronic transmission vehicles as may be
necessa y, proper and appropriate for town purposes."

The owner of the underlying fee retains the rights to utilize the
property encumbered by this easement as long as it does not interfere
with the rights to install and maintain the water and sewer lines
which is the only purpose and use granted to the town by the permanent
easement. The language of this easement does not expressly prohibit
the construction of or removal of building improvements within the
easement area. In fact, the Town of Dryden granted a variance for the
construction of the residence located on the subject property in 1983
within the easement area. Although subject to legal interpretation,
it seems apparent that structures and other improvements owned by the
owner of the fee could be located within the easement area, assuming
that such structures and improvements did not interfere with the
rights granted to the Town of Dryden for the installation and mainte-
nance of water and sewer lines. With this understanding of the rights
to use and occupy the easement area by both the Town of Dryden and the
fee owner, the value of various interests can be estimated.
Value to the Town of Dryden
The proposed area to be released by the Town of Dryden includes an
irregular shaped parcel of land partially occupied by the existing
• residence. This area is approximately 40 feet northerly of the water
line installed on the subject property. This area was not utilized
for the installation of the water or sewer lines and is not necessary
to gain access to the easement area. It is my understanding that it
has been determined by the town engineer that this portion of the
easement area is not necessary for the continued maintenance of the
water or sewer lines. The fee owner of the property retains the
rights to utilize the .easement area with the exception of the 'stated
purpose of the easement for the Town of Dryden. Considering the fact
that the town only has a limited partial interest in this easement
area and it has-been determined that it is not necessary for that
purpose, it is my opinion that the value of the rights conveyed by the
permanent easement to the Town of Dryden have a nominal value of not
more than $100.

Value of the Released Easement Area to the Fee Owner
The fee owner of the property is not expressly prohibited from making
improvements within the easement area and continues to have rights to
utilize the easement area. It is not clear that the fee owner will
benefit from the release of the easement area with the exception that
it would clarify and eliminate any potential concern that the rights
conveyed by the easement to the Town of Dryden could be legally
interpreted in a manner that would require the removal of the existing
residence from within the easement area. Regardless of the legal
interpretation of the rights conveyed to the town, the fact that the
residence is partially within the easement area raises concerns and
questions over the marketability of the property and the potential for
obtaining financing. The position that the residence would have to be
removed from the easement area is clearly not supported by the lan-
guage of the easement and the fact that the Town of Dryden granted a
variance in 1983 after they had already obtained the easement which
allowed for the construction of the residence within the easement
area. If the residence had to be removed from the easement area, it
would have little, if any value. The cost to move the residence and
establish it on a new foundation if it is possible within the confines
of the existing building site, could be as much as the value of the
residence. The only reasonable interpretation of the circumstances
surrounding this issue is to conclude that the existing residence is
permitted within the easement area and that the release of a portion
of the easement as proposed merely clarifies the ownership and use of
the property. In this respect, the release of the easement area does
not significantly add to the value of the property but eliminates the
potential for future concerns on the marketability of the property.
Value to a Third Party
The easement rights held by the Town of Dryden for that portion of the
property that is proposed to be released has no marketability, use or
value to a potential third party. The Town of Dryden only has the
rights to install and maintain the water and sewer lines within the
permanent easement area. There is no possible utilization of this
area by a third party, therefore it has no value to a third party.

• Steve Kirsh - Based as to what the commission understands was our
total budget for the year and the commission not saying this is
county money, this is state money, this is town money, this is
village money because it gets to complicated for us to deal with.
We would still like the recommendation to stay within the
existing funds. It does mean that it would be a disproportionate
match and that is because the county funds have been expended. If
you look at the money in youth services whether that is a
designated sum or if it is looked at as additional programing.
•
•
Supv Schug - when the youth commission first got started the
villages said fine we don't have the time, we can't handle it we
will give you our money and you can take the youth at risk
program. Yes, if one board approves of doing that the next year
the next board can change their mind and take the money back. It
is up to this board as whether or not to go along with the
project. I would suggest to have the 2 representatives from each
of the villages and tell them this was set up 4 or 5 years ago.
If you don't want to do it let us know and then we will know what
we are working with. If they want their funds there is nothing
we can do about it except they didn't live up to their end•of the
bargain.
Doug Foster - I am asking the board for a portion of an easement.
The question was what is the value of it since the easement goes
through the middle of the house. It was agreed that I would get
an appraisal (copy to board members) and a letter was written to
my attorney which gives his opinion as to what the value is. In
terms of the easement it just lets the town install and maintain
a water and sewer line. The value of the easement to the town is
a nominal value of not more than $100.00. Hopefully this is
enough information for the town board to make a decision on what
the reimbursement should be.
Supv Schug - the board members would have liked to have received
this information earlier so they would have a chance to review
it. The board members did not take any action until they had a
chance to review the information they just received.

have worked with the Red Cross and the high school to establish a

Marcus billing - pay the bill upon the recommendation of the ZBOA
RESOLUTION #131 PAY MARCUS BILLING
Clp T. Hatfield offered the following resolution and asked for
its adoption:
RESOLVED, that this Town Board upon the recommendation of Charles
Hanley, chairman of the ZBOA authorize payment of the Randall
Marcus voucher regarding the Schlecht ZBOA hearing.
2nd Clp Grantham Roll call vote - all voting Yes
Supv Schug - a request was made regarding a tax penalty to be
returned since they never received the bill until it was in the
penalty period.
Atty Perkins - with respect to this and in any similar
application is that nothing was done wrong. When property changes
hands the only way the taxing authority people who prepare the
bills in the county know about that is when a deed is recorded
and a form called the equalization assessment form for real
property transfer report is filed along with deed. March 1st is
the critical date because that is what is called the taxable
status date for towns. The assessors by charter which is a county
function are required to assess property as the taxable status
date which is March 1st. They will send a bill to whoever the
record owner is as of March 1st. Any transfer which occurs after
March 1st will not be reflected for at least a year. This is
State law. The town clerk has not done anything wrong. It is up
to the property owner and has been a law in the State of New York
forever that it is the property owners responsibility to make
sure they receive their tax bill. Clearly when they had a closing
they had an adjustment of taxes and someone should have explained
to them the procedure that on January 1st you should be expecting
a tax bill and if they don't receive the bill either call the
previous owner or the town clerk for a duplicate tax bill. This
happens all the time. It is not the town clerk's responsibility
to monitor the U.S. mail.
Clp Roberts - wanted to know the reason for the March 1st cut off
date. Why can't the addresses be changed throughout the year as
deeds are recorded.
Atty Perkins - it is State law because they have so many parcels
county wide they use that as an arbitrary cut off date because
they have so many other things to do at the assessment
department.
• Clp T. Hatfield - usually the attorney that is at the closing
will advise the client when taxes are due and if they do not
receive them call the town clerk.

TB5 -14 -96 Page 7
• Atty Perkins - when the deed is returned by the county clerk
there is a notice attached with this information. On the other
side of the coin the party might not have paid the bill on time
and paid the penalty they have had the use of those funds all
that time.
Clp Roberts - it just
seems there
should be a way
to be a little
more user friendly
in this age of
customer service
of keeping the
records more up to
date. We are
in a computerized
age, it is not
like everything is
kept by hand.
The information is there

Atty Perkins - you should write to your elected representatives
in Albany. I tell all my clients to
call
either
the previous
owner or the town clerk for another
bill
and we
give them a
notice to that affect together with
the
notice
they receive on
their

who want it.

Atty Perkins - received the application for the fireworks display

•SPCA - dog contract agreement for dog enumeration.
Clp Roberts - wondered why there was no deadline for completing
the enumeration.
Pam Stonebreaker - when the agreement was written up they did not
have any idea since they just started last year. Now they have a
working computer program so they are assuming they will be able
to complete it in a timely manner, but they didn't want to be
locked in to a specific date. They would like a reasonable amount
of time. They are hiring a team of people to come in and complete
the actual accounting during a 2 week period. The rest would be
the follow up work. They could put a deadline on there, but they
would like a reasonable time.
Clp Roberts - wanted to know if they could put a 3 month time
limit on the enumeration.
Pam Stonebreaker - saw no problem with that.
Supv Schug - if the board is in favor of the agreement for dog
enumeration with the SPCA we will need a resolution with the
changes effective July 1st 1996 and work will be completed
October 1, 19964

Supv Schug - had received several complaints regarding stray dogs
which are forwarded to the SPCA.

Re: Waiving of Penalty Charges on Town & County Traxes
Dear Mr. & Mrs. Klaben:
At our town board meeting on May 14th we reviewed your request and the situation of
payment of penalties for late payment of taxes.
It is our understanding you were notified that Tompkins County generates all tax bills for
the parcels and the closing date for changes is March. As you purchased your property in
October 1995 the tax bill going out in January 1996 was mailed to the owner of record as of
March 1995 which was Joseph M and Abby H Eller. It was the responsibility of your attorney
to notify you to look for a town and county tax bill in January.
We receive several requests each year concerning not having received a tax bill and are
asked to grant relief. If we were to grant you relief this would set an extremely disruptive
precedent; therefore your request for a refund is denied.
Sincerely,
Ja es F. Schug

Hwy Supt Gilbert — type 4 crushed stone - Lewbro bid by the yard
"10 $4.95 a yard for a total of $2.91 a ton. RMS Gravel was $4.00 a
ton, which is the same bid RMS Gravel has with the county. I
would recommend the board to go with Lewbro unless you are
talking mileage. There was some discussion regarding the mileage
and time involved.
Kim Whetzel - I was not a bidder on this particular product, but
in the specification the town said that the minimum quantity of
material must be available for pick up by a certain date. The pit
must be equipped with a scale and loader on site. The proposal
that you are considering doesn't affect me, but it will affect
the competitiveness of your bids if you don't hold the bidders to
the specifications, ie making an investment of $70,000.00 to have
the scale. If the material is sold by the yard, a yard is not
always a yard. A ton is always a ton. Someone may buy 12 yards of
material and there can be a significant difference in the volume.
I would ask if the Town of Dryden is going to enjoy the
competitiveness of bidding these products which I welcome and in
the years coming will save the town a lot of money. If you issue
a specification you must stick to that specification. If you were
considering to buy the material by the yard, then it should have
been put in the specs that it could be a possibility. The
distance is a consideration and must be taken into account, but
there are products that we in the Town of Dryden buy 50 plus
miles away. Those products are available in other locations as
well. I don't think we are looking at the mileage as critically
as when we want to buy from those suppliers as we do from those
other vendors. I would ask the Town of Dryden if you issue a
specification then at least adhere to that specification. I think
if you stick strictly to the distance then that limits you to one
supplier and if you look historically at the last 2 bid openings
that I have participated in for the Town of Dryden, the fact that
you have opened this up to other people has driven the price down
significantly. In the next case you will be considering at 80
cents a ton. The difference in the price on the next item that
