Page 2 of 13 T13 I- 12 -(l6 ® A big issue coming up is consideration of whether the County will move to a three year assessment cycle and they will be voting on that this coming Tuesday. He urged people who had any thoughts to shoe to contact him prior to that time, and said the County Administrator kind of came down on the side of three year assessments, but said a case could be made for either side, M 14attery said that when he ran for the legislature one of things he said he wanted to do was take the relationship between the County and the towns, city, and villages up a notch, and asked the board to let him know how they thought that could be accomplished.

J Rush suggested the Board send something to the State Legislature asking that the law be amended to allow Towns the ability to lower the speed limits on Town roads to 45 mph, with a State review for lower requests. He feels that would solve a lot: of issues for people. Atty Perkins said the policy of the State of New York is to move vehicles and he doesn't believe they will give up that jurisdiction. Their policy is to move vehicles as efficiently as possible, and that. is probably why they didn't reduce West Dryden Road. This is something the Association of Towns or some other organizations could work on, such as the Association of Highway Superintendents. J Bush asked the board to pass a resolution for equipment purchases and sales for the coming year. This was previously provided to the board and provisions for the purchases were included in the budget.

Atty Perkins has previously provided the board with a proposed resolution, 14e has modified the easement to tnake it consistent, with easements the Town has granted in the past, such as eliminating the authority to relocate the easement, remove brush or trees by burning or chemical means, He has added language that if for any reason the pole or line needt5 to be relocated, it will be done so at NYSEG's expense at upon the request of the Town, Pale 7 of 13 Tli I -12 -06 RESOLUTION #$9 - AUTHORIZING GRANT OF EASEMEIQT TO NEW YORK STATE ELECTRIC & GAS CORPORATION C1 Stelick offered the Following resolution and asked for its adoption: RESOLVED, (1) That the Supervisor is authorized and directed to excrufe an ra cmw,nt.. to New York $(ate Electric; �s Gay �orpc�r2►tion tin the farm annexed hereto covering property owned by the Town more particularly desrribcd in a dyed da1ed May 1, 2003 and recorded May 1.2, 2003 as Instrument No. 432150 -001 in the Tompkins County Clerk's Office and being the parking area on the west side of Hammond Hill and donated to the Town by Susan Rausch, (2) That it is hereby determined that fair and adequate consideration for the grant of such easement is the agreement on behalf of New York tai.c Elerrtric �s Gas Corporation to install electric service within the easement and to provide electricity and maintenance of the service to property owned by Susan Rausch_ (3) This resolution is adapted subject to a permissive referendum as provided in Article 7 of the Town Low.

Cl Christofferson said he felt that 9%ms a good meeting and would be willing to serve on such a committee. Cl Sumner also said she will serve and ZO Slater will proceed to schedule a meeting for February. C Slater said that because the property 1:hat the Town proposes to build the new town hall on is in the Village and being a non- conforming use, the Town is subject to site plan review (if it chooses) and ZO Slater said it would be in the best interests of the Town and Village to do so- He is starting to prepare the siloe plan for submission to thy; Village. Miller Engineering has previously presented a proposal for doing storm water management for the project and some site work- 7.Q Slater said the board shouid consider that, but 1:ha1: Miller and Egner Associa(cx Nhould also decide how I:hat division of duties will work- C1 Christofferson said the board is not ready to act on that }yet, and ZO Slater eneoxir'aged them to keep moving forvward. ZO Slater will schedule a meeting for thte parties involved. Cl Stelick said the Town has finally closed on the properly purchase, ENVIRONMENTAL PLANNER Dan K wasnowski explained that on agreement between the Town and County is necessary in conncction with the application for th(: purchase of develop men f. rights being submitted by the Stuttle and Sherman f: rms.

The board agrees- With respect to the wind power alternative ever &v ordinance and residential wind power, D Kwa:5nowski said there is nothing in the 'ro%&rt's zoning ordinance th:A addresses wind power -, He suggested the Town form a permissive ordinance for alternative energy and the Town could decide what they nerd right now based on the NYSERDA program as 0 guide for what people are doing. ZO Slater said the town has no provisions for solar nc_cds to have Page 9 or 13 TB 1 -12 -06 consistency in its ordinance. He and 17 Kwasnowski will draft an ordinance for the board to review. D Kwasnowski displayed a map that shows the property recently purchased by the Town and the wetlands on that property. He pointed out where the Town hall will be and where there has been talk of recreation areas, where the wetlands are located and the pond owned by the fire department. He would like to work with the Conservation Board and anyone else who is interested to develop a comprehensive plan for the property. The board agrees that is a good idea. D Kwasnowski explained that they had worked to situate the town hall in such a way as to accommodate the building and parking and minimize the impact on the wetlands. because less than a half acre of wetland will be impacted, the town will need to apply for a Nationwide 39 permit. Because more than a .1.0'h of an acrd will be impacted there will need to be mitigation strategy, which he has prepared. A retaining wall will be built above the gown hall and part of the mitigation strategy is to remove the buckthorn. They will probably able to reclaim. more than a 10th of an acre of wetland when the salt barn is built. A drawing of the building was displayed and explained by Tony Egner of Egner Architects, together with the floor plan. The Town has been iXED certified and has a contract with NYSERDA and the next step is to assemble a design crew and go through a review. Mike Lane asked about room for expansion and said that he didn't think a meeting room for 76 -100 people isn't. big enough and they Town may want to have a separate room for court at some point. T Egner said the site is limited by the adjacent wetlands. He also said the roof would be very expensive to replace. The new building would be about 12,000 square feet and the current building is about 4,000 square feet. M Lane said at early meetings the public was interested in having the theme of the old fair building incorporated in the design and he doesn't see anything like ghat. T Egner said they may try to do something inside the building. D Kwasnowski said is had been suggested a building of that sort might be constructed in the recreation area. B Hollenbeck said they had looked at a plan that incorporated the design of the fair building and it drove the cost of the building up considerably. A second floor was briefly discussed and what was necessary to do to the structure in the initial construction to allow for expansion upward in the future. There is unallocated space in the building to accommodate new positions if necessary in the future, D Kwasnowski said he has prepared the Nationwide 39 Permit application and the Army Corps has reviewed it and indicated it is sufficient. RESOLUTION #41 - AUTHORIZE NATIONWIDE 39 PERMIT Cl Christofferson offered the following resolution and asked for its adoption: RESOLVED, that this Town Board hereby authorizes Dan Kwasnowski to prepare a Nationwide 39 permit application in connection with the construction and siting of the new town hall building and the Supervisor is authorized to sign the same. 2114 Cl Stelick Roll Call Vote Cl Christofferson Yes Cl 'Tier Yes Supv Trumbull Yes Cl Stelick Yes Cl Sumner Yes Page l o of 13 19B 1 -12-06 Cl S telick said a lot of time and effort was put into this, a lot of people were involved and ;� lot of Consu]ting to come up with the plan- It may not be perfcci:, but we are using the laud that we chose and it took a long time to get to this, and while we didn't own the land yet, we kept going forward. The staff met several tirnes to come up with ideas and the board has discussed it for a long time- He agrees that we do need to look at the past, Getting the Conservation Board involved to help come up with a plan for the whole, piece of property is part of the goal. He said it is goal to come up with a plan to protect the wetlands and c;nhance what we cart. Her thinks we'll be proud of it when its done and he appreciiales all of the time and effort put into it.
