The Town Hoard of the Town of Dryden, based upon (i) its thorough review of the Short EAF, Part 1, and any and all other documents prepared and submitted with respect to this proposed action and its environmental review, (ii) its thorough review of the potential relevant areas of environmental concern to determine if the proposed action may have a significant adverse impact on the environment, including the criteria identified in 6 NYCRR §617.7(c), and (iii) its completion of the Short EAF, Part II, including the findings noted thereon (which findings are incorporated herein as if set forth at length), hereby makes a negative determination of environmental significance ( "Negative Declaration") in accordance with SEQR for the above referenced proposed action, and determines that neither a full Environmental Assessment Form, nor an Environmental Impact Statement will be required, and 2. The Responsible Officer of the Town Board of the Town of Dryden is hereby authorized and directed to complete and sign as required the determination of significance, confirming the foregoing Negative Declaration, which fully completed and signed Short EAF and determination of significance shall be incorporated by reference in this Resolution. 2nd Supv Trumbull Roll Call Vote Cl Makar Yes Cl Christofferson Yes Supv Trumbull Yes Cl Sumner Yes RESOLUTION #138 - APPROVE SITE PLAN FOR J & C LEASING Cl Sumner offered the following resolution and asked for its adoption: I* Pa�c 3 of 17 T13 8 -9 -O7 RESOLVED, that this Town Board hereby approves the site plan for J & C Leasing to construct a 1470 square foot addition to an existing structure at 478 Lover Creek Road, subject to the following conditions: 1) Existing conditions of approval of February 10, 2005, except #2; and 2) Standard conditions of approval (7- 1.2 -00), except #7. 21W Cl Makar Roll Call Vote C1 Makar Yes Cl Christofferson Yes Supv Trumbull Yes Cl Sumner Yes Fall Creek Watershed Presentation - George Patte, Chao• of the Fall Creek Watershed Committee, and Dave Weinstein gave a PowerPoint presentation (attached) regarding the monitoring work that t:he committee has been doing. The Committee is made up of a group of concerned citizens organized to promote understanding of how to maintain and improve the ecological health, economic vitality and overall beauty of the watershed through education, data collection, citizen action and partnerships. Since 2002 they have been collecting water samples at 6 locations on Fall Creek, 6 on Virgil Creek, and at the sewer outfall for the Village of Dryden 4 or times a year. The samples are tested by the Community Science Institute. They look for trends in bacteria, nutrients, sediment, salt and minerals. The database they are accumulating will help to establish historical trends and determine whether the stream quality is heading in the right direction. They take samples at each location at both high flow and low flow times. In general, under base flow, Virgil Creek stays at the DEC standards. There are some problems under high flow conditions when there is about three times the amount of coliform. D Weinstein said this means that: when we have a lot of water coming across the surface of the ground it picks up things as it goes through farm fields, etc. The same thing happens with Fall Creek. An acute problem has been detected on Davis Road (Town of Groton). Flow conditions on one day at this location were particularly high. Having this information means that problems can be nipped in the bud before they become serious. In this case the Town of Dryden might want to work with the Town of Groton to try and reduce the Problem so there is no problem downstream. Charts for e -coli and phosphorous were also shown. The Watershed Committee; provides dependable data that is necessary to make informed decisions involving water resources. The Town is able to inexpensively track the health of the creek. Sampling at these selected locations makes it possible to investigate sources of pollution. The monitoring is useful to municipalities, such as the Town of Dryden, that are required to monitor stormwater under the Phase 11 Stormwater regulations. 'There is a significant cost savings when volunteers perform the sample collection and the certified analyses are discounted substantially. New York State agencies are accepting data from citizen monitors and the data is necessary to support decision - making. The Town of Dryden benefits from having two creeks sampled (Fall Creek & Six Mile Creak) sampled at 13 sites each for 5 times a year, costing a total of $44,720. The Town currently contributes $5,000 toward this and D Weinstein suggested the Town might want to consider increasing its financial Support for this project to help put it on a solid foundation for the long term. Dan Kwasnowski said that they were informed by the EPA at the Stormwater Conference and Trade Show in BUIT410 that if you don't collect this data and submit it to the EPA they are going to start fining Phase 11 municipalities. Page 4 of 17 TB 8 -9 -07 Abigail Smith, Executive Director of the Tompkins County SPCA, talked with the Board about the Town's contract with the SPCA for services. She said the expense the SPCA incurs to deliver animal control services to the municipalities is more than double what they receive in revenue. 'Their operating budget has been running at a deficit for years. The SPCA currently has two animal control officers for the county and A Smith said they simply cannot cover the entire county and provide the kind of services they Would like to. She said it is important that they provide adequate service and that the agency maintains its mission and continues to stay open. They have come tip with a solution that unfortunately means an increase in fees for all of the towns involved. A Smith said her goal is to find a way to deliver more efficient, more cost effective services for the entire county. Right now it is done on a town -by -gown basis with each town negotiating its own contract. No two contracts are alike and there is no standard for what each unit of service costs. She would like to do one contract at the county level (she has talked with the Council of Governments). Looking at the data from the past few years they could determine the cost: per units of service provided, then pro -rat:c the cost of the contract to each town based on usage. This would mean a fixed contract price with each town paying according to how they utilize the services. The SPCA would track each unit that takes place and each year fees can be adjusted accordingly. A Smith said the Towns have the ability to affect what they pay by doing some prevention work. The more that citizens are informed about what the laws are and how to follow them, the fewer tickets the SPCA would have to write. The Towns could also keep expenses down by involving the courts in a way that would deter repeat offenders. It is state law that anv fees collected by court fines, tickets paid, etc. go into a fund that must be used for animal control. Higher fines might result in less offenders and more revenue. The Town ® currently pays the SPCA $18,118,00, about 8% of the total revenue the SPCA receives currently, At this point they are trying to make the Towns aware that there is an issue and that it: will cost more to provide services next year for everyone. A Smith said she would like to see the Towns work together at the Council of Governments level and have a uniform, standardized contract so that they can serve all residents of the county equally. When their 2008 budget is established they would like to charge the Towns according to their usage. Cl Sumner said this is a little late because the Town has already begun its budget process and there is a lot of work to be done in establishing their fee structure. A Smith said Jeff Lydon of the SPCA informed the Towns last: year that there would be an increase. CI Sumner suggested some interim compromise and added they don't want to discourage people from using the service. The Town of Dryden is currently pays the third largest contract amount and A Smith said the Town's usage is also high. B Hollenbeck said she believes the Towns have shown a willingness to work with the SPCA in the past. The Dog Control Officers used to write the tickets for unlicensed dogs (for owners that had not renewed their dog licenses) and al. one point when there was an issue about money that was one of the things that several of the Towns took over_ Currently in the Town of Dryden, she writes the tickets for unlicensed dogs and the dog control officers serve the tickets. She added that it is refreshing to hear someone from the SPCA administration finally say that two dog control officers is not enough to cover the County. After further discussion, the board asked 13 Hollenbeck to work with A Smith on this matter. A Smith is working with Ikon Barber of Tompkins County Council of Governments on ® a draft contract to be provided to everyone; the third week in August, and reviewed as group at the September meeting. Page 5 of 17 Tl3 8 -9 -07 is CITIZENS PRIVILEGE Gretchen Solomon said she and her husband, Joseph Solomon, believe the real problem with the corner of Lower Creek Road (where they live) is speed, They would like the Town to hold off on installation of stop signs. The problem is really a speeding issue in the neighborhood. C1 Sumner asked her to contact the Sheriff and if she has any difficulty, CI Sumner will talk to him herself. Cl Sumner suggested the Etna community Association should work a little harder with Fernando de'Aragon of the Transportation Council about traffic calming. G Solomon suggested a public hearing be held before any stop signs were installed. HIGHWAY DEPARTMENT /DPW Jack Bush said the flow meter manholes and electronic monitoring equipment have been installed. There is a problem with the manhole at Route 13 and he is working with Hunt Engineers to fix that problem. The manhole is not traffic rated because they didn't realize it would be so close to the road. Hunt: has agreed to pay for a concrete cover that will go over that manhole. There is no additional cost to the Town. Cl Makar asked how the monitoring would take place and J Bush said he understood the Village was going to purchase; a. laptop and one of the DPW employees would be doing the readings. A Sciarabba said he would ask Hunt Engineers to attend a board meeting to explain the monitoring process. The access drive to the new town hall is almost complete. J Bush said he is a little concerned now that the curbing and landscaping is finished at the parking lot and suggested the fire chief take a look at: it to ensure fire equipment can travel the lot. CI Christofferson said he had talked about that with the architect. The fiber optic cable has been installed between the old town hall and new town hall. The parking lot at the Finger Lakes Land 'Trust property on Ellis Hollow Creek Road is pretty well complete. Work has been started on the Dryden- Freevi Ile Trail. Trees have been removed at the intersection with Springhouse Road to improve the line of site. The road was striped this year with two double yellow lines and eventually there will be a painted crosswalk for pedestrians and a sign installed. He will probably be asking the board for ra, resolution to lower the speed limit on the road next month (presently posted at 40 mph) for the safety of people using the trail. 'They are waiting for a_ design from Barton th Loguidice for the bridge, and then will have to obtain a permit from DEC and order the necessary materials. Landscaping around the highway barn has not yet been started. J Bush said he is hoping to at least get the front part done with some curbing installed and trees planted. The paving for the season is nearly complete. They need to do Beam Hill Road on the Irish Settlement end and repair an area at the end of Herman (toad that was damaged by the heavy trucks that go in and out of RMS Gravel. There is some surface treating to be done. Cl Sumner asked how much of the work listed on the §284 agreement had been completed and J Bush replied about 96 %. Ci Christofferson said he had talked with the workers that installed the fiber and they said it: was a pleasure to work with the DPW personnel. Cl Christofferson thanked J Bush for working with the board and trying to accommodate the projects they've asked for. Pape 6 of 17 T13 8 -9 -07 10 J Bush has previously provided the board with information and a request to sell a 1996 Loffness 84" front mounted snowblower. This piece of equipment was used only a few seasons, is too small to do roads with, and has not: been used for about 8 years. The l,ansing surplus auction is coming up September 8 and would be a good place to sell it.. RESOLUTION #139 - SELL SNOWBLOWER Cl Christofferson offered the following resolution and asked for its adoption: RESOLVED, that this Town Board hereby authorizes the Highway Superintendent to sell at a surplus auction one 1996 Loffness 84" front mounted snowblower. 2nd Supv Trumbull Roll Call Vote COUNTY BRIEFING Cl Makar Yes Cl Christofferson Yes Supv Trumbull Yes Cl Sumner Yes Mike Hattery reported that the public safety communications project is staying on target, both in terms of the infrastructure and subscriber equipment and the allocation and use of the subscriber equipment. On Tuesday night the legislature decided to move forward with a new site for the Health Department building. It will be located on Brown Road where Cornell Development used to be. This decision was made because of the cost savings and longevity compared to other possible locations. ENGINEERING Andy Sciarabba said he is waiting for comments from Atty Perkins on the new road construction specifications. No action was taken on the proposed resolution to install stop signs at the 90- degree turn on Lower Creek Road in Etna. CI Maker commented that installing the stop signs might prevent people from using that road as a "short cut route". He added the residents should have an opportunity for public comment. ZO Slater will come up with a list of residents in the area to send a mailing to for the September meeting. Last Fall Bolton Point had asked the Town to participate in funding an upgrade to the telemetry system for the NYSF;G tanks. The Town agreed to fund $4,160 to fund the building to house the equipment for the new system. It has now been installed, is up and running and the old phone service has been disconnected. The updated aerial survey was forwarded t:o D Kwasnowski electronically on August first. There was no cost to the Town. RECREATION DEPARTMENT Jennifer Dube provided the board with a proposed resolution for changes in payroll. ® She would like to hire Peter Veintimilla (who was a candidate for the Recreation Coordinator position) as a part tame assistant at $11.00. He has assisted with the lacrosse program. Funds are available in the 2007 budget:. Page 7 of 17 TB 8 -9 -07 0 C ] Christofferson asked if the new Recreation Cooidin 3 1: r should Ue inv involved in this decision and J Dube said that Cl Stelick has spoken to her about this. RESOLUTION #140 - CHANGE IN RECREATION ASSISTANTS / PAYROLL Cl Christofferson offered the following resolution and asked for its adoption: WHEREAS, the Town of Dryden Recreation Department: has multiple programs that need constant supervision, and WHEREAS, the Recreation Department has four part -time seasonal positions available and funds to cover such expense, and WHEREAS, two employees will be taken off the payroll effective August: 16, 2007 (Amanda Christofferson who is returning to school and Becky Colbert who is returning to her full time job), and WHEREAS, Peter Veintimilla has previously applied for the Recreation Coordinator position and would like to familiarize himself with the programs offered and is willing to work part: tame, Now, therefore, be it RESOLVED, that Peter Veintimilla is hereby hired at a rate of $11.00 per hour based on his experience and degrees, and it is further isRESOLVED, that the following two current Recreation Assistants be reappointed at a rate of $10.00 per hour based on their contributions since their hire and the time spent working in the department: Arnanda O'Dell (has been employed for a year) Chloe Scutt (has taken over multiple programs in the absence of a full time coordinator) Said appointments are effective Monday, August 13, 2007, and will be re- evaluated and appointments will be reviewed by January 2008. 2 ,,d Supv Stelick Roll Call Vote Cl Makar Yes Cl Christofferson Yes Supv Trumbull Yes Cl Sumner Yes J Dube said when registrations from the Dryden Football Camp were collected they were mistakenly deposited to General Recreation Nees (A-2001), and they should be transferred to Fundraising Revenues (A -2006) so that they can be used by the football program. RESOLUTION #141 - TRANSFER RECREATION FUNDS Cl Christofferson offered the following resolution and asked for its adoption: WHEREAS, the Town of Dryden Football Program has a fundraising account with the Town of Dryden, and Page 8 of 17 T13 8m9mO7 0 WHEREAS, the Dryden Youth Football Program in partnership with Dryden Varsity Football ran a youth camp July 24, 2007 through July 26, 2007, and WHEREAS, multiple youth coaches assisted with the organization and implementation of the camp, Now, therefore, be it RESOLVED, that the fee revenues generated from camp registration are transferred from General Recreation Fees (A -2001) where they were originally recorded, to Fundraising Revenues (A- 2006), therefore allowing the football program access to those funds raised. 2nd Supv Trumbull Roll Call Vote Cl Makar Yes Cl Christofferson Yes Supv Trumbull Yes Cl Sumner Yes J Dube reported that the skate park has been open every day for the last three weeks for five hours a day. Over 50 different kids have signed in to skate. She held a meeting with the staff at the skate park to see how things were going. She asked them to create a slogan for the Recreation Department that is now on their staff T- shirts. Because of their experiences meeting other kids at the park they decided on `Building Communities One Act at a Time". She is working on a report to present to the Town and Village Boards and Dryden Youth Commission on the skate park. Attendance at the Music in Park Concert Series is at about 900 (both sites) and there is are two more shows at each location. J Dube thanked the board for the opportunity to work for the town and said she appreciates everything the board has done for her. She is still planning to help the new recreation coordinator and will volunteer her time. ATTORNEY Atty Perkins said he is almost done reviewing the highway specs. J Bush has commented on them and Atty Perkins will provide both their comments to A Sciarabba. Atty Perkins is part way through his review of the stormwater law and said he anticipates the board will have to make some (,hangers and there will be some policy decisions the board will have to make. Specifically those have to deal with what will be regulated and what is not, beyond what the State requires, and the penalties. He will provide the board with a memo when his review is complete. Attv Perkins has reviewed both the State contract and the Country contract for the purchase of development rights for the Stuttle farm. He doesn't have any problem with the State contract and has provided a proposed resolution authorizing the Supervisor to sign that contract. The County has taken a five -page memorandum of understrinding and turned it into a two page contract. Atty Perkins has consulted with D Kwasnowsld and rewritten that and provided a proposed resolution. ZONING OFFICER ® ZO Slater said he has also been reviewing the proposed stormwater law. He has spoken with DEC )forest Management about it. He has real concerns about: the enforceability of the Pace 9 of 17 TB 8 -9 -07 proposed law because of the difficulty of reaching out, particularly in the foresting area. There is no good link or permitting process for forest operations. DEC agrees that they are the largest foresting group of people in the Town because they have so much State land. They subcontract for their work. He has also asked A Sciarabba for his input. ZO Slater said he is concerned about the average person's ability to understand the law. He is not prepared to make a recommendation at this time. With respect to the Tuttle house, no bids were received by the August 2 deadline. Historic Ithaca would like to find someone to buy it. There was a little interest from one party, but no bid was received. He said it appears the Town may be faced with either demolishing it or refurbishing it and putting it on the market. There has been some discussion of moving it over on t :he lot. The foundation stone could then be used to restore the barn and the driveway to the back area could be located in that space. ZO Slater said he didn't think the 'Gown had to rush to a decision because it: isn't costing anything to have the house sit: there. All the utilities have been shut off. Cl Christofferson said he thought we should find a way to get rid of the house and the barn; that it is not attractive near the new Town Hall. Someone may want the barn board. J bush suggested it could be advertised on the Internet. He added he was in favor of removing the barn. If the Town demolishes the house there will be the additional expense of asbestos abatement. An asbestos survey is necessary first and the estimated cost is about $500. This will be discussed further after the move to the new building. ZO Slater said he has contracted with Hicks Moving and Storage and that is scheduled for September 4. is Supv Trumbull said the Murray Center in Cortland offers cleaning services and he is looking into that for the new building. Cl Sumner said that is worth looking into but may require some Supervision, ENVIRONMENTAL PLANNER D Kwasnowski said that Farm City Day will be held at LewLin Farm on Saturday, August 11. This is the farm that the Town has been awarded a grant for to purchase a conscrvation easement to extinguish the ability to develop the property except for farm purposes. The State contract has been received and reviewed by Atty Perkins. A short environmental assessment form has been prepared and was reviewed by the board. RESOLUTION # 142 - NEG SEQR DEC TO SIGN CONTRACT FOR PURCHASE OF DEVELOPMENT RIGHTS - LEW -LIN FARM Cl Sumner offered the following resolution and asked for its adoption: WHEREAS, A. The proposed action involves consideration of the purchase of conservation easement from the Lew -Lin Farm using State funds. S.

This project also includes the Prince Farm on Route 13. He said those soils are some of the best in the Town. That land also provides a link to Cornell property. The Sherman Farm is next to the Stuttle Farm, and D Kwasnowski said Ag & Markets is excited about it. With respect to the Stormwatcr Law, D Kwasnowski said there had been some questions about it varying from the State model. He said there were several things that couldn't be changed. Some policy decisions were made in the Special Committee and the most significant one dealt: with going %vith less than an acre. He said it: already exists and the DEC Page. 12 of 17 T13 Sm9 -07 can do that now at its discretion. The Special Coin mittee decided thaf. more could be done at the local level to make sure we are doing the best Tve can to protect water quality. With respect to enforcement, we do the best we can now with zoning and code enforcement, and well do the best we can with stormw iter, if the public kris ws we are ou11 there trying, we'll get better results. D Kwasnowski said he thinks it is doahir, and that it will work out.

Citizen monitors have helped identify potential water quality issues for water managers and public officials before they became major public relations problems. 3 Benefits to Municipality - Water Quality Monitoring (cont) Monitoring Is useful for municipalities required to monitor siormwater under the Phase II Stormwator regulations. Significant cost savings are realized when volunteers perform Die sample collection • Certified analyses arc discounted substanticOy Regular monitoring provides reliable ostirnales of Total Maximum Daily Loads Citizen Participation (cont.) New York State agencies are accepting data from citizen monitors. CSI -led volunteer monitoring facilitates effective and efficient development of these monitoring programs. Cost to town (cont), Dryden gets the 2 creeks sampled at 13 sites each for 5 times a year, costing a total of $44,720, of which it would pay about 114 ($12,041) and the other irwolved communities would pay the other 314, calculated on a prorated basis considering both relative population and assessed value. Citizen Participation Citizens become educated about and involved in water resource management. Public participation requirements can be partially mot through volunteer monitoring and CSI - sponsored public Information events and resources. Cost to town The cost of sanhple ana", web -site data maintenance, and volunteer organizing Is $344 per stream monitoring site per sampling event, or $1,720 per year for each stream monitoring site (assuming 5 sampling events per year) and $22,360 per year for all 13 sites. Dryden currently contributes 35000 per year for this and the sampling of Six Mile Creek. The cost of about $26 pot data item compares favorably with Cornell University's Lake Source Cooling monitoring costs of approximately $67 per data item. Cost to town (cont) The program Can achieve this significant cost savings because volunteers perform the sample collection, focal soil and water conservation agencies contribute time and resources, and certified analyses conducted by the CSI laboratory are discounted substantially. Dryden might want to consider Increasing support to CS I to help put it on a solid foundation for the long term. Municipal support helps leverage funds from other sources• inctuding other munippalities in the watershed, local businesses, and the general public. 2 Summary • Management —grade water quality data. • Data to inform municipal officials and the public when decision - making involves water quality and water resource issues. • Citizen watershed stewards and a mechanism for meeting public participation requirements under Phase II Stormwater regulations. 5 1.0/26/2007 13:24:54 ..
