PUBLIC HEARING
COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT BLOCK GRANT
Supv Sumner opened the public hearing at: 7:02 p.m. Ann Hotchkin of Thoma
Development said they haven't yet had a significant response to the surveys, but will continue
to look for more applicants. Two applications are being submitted on behalf of the Town, one
through the HOME program and one through the Community Development Block Grant
Program (CDBG). It is the CDBG program that requires two public hearings. $400,000 will be
asked for in one single - purpose application. Eighteen percent of that will cover the expense of
program delivery and grant program administration. That leaves $328,000 for rehabilitation
grants. The typical average grant is $20,000 to $21,000, so they expect that 13 to 15 houses
will benefit from the program. There were 50 phone calls in response to the ads that were
placed in the paper, but only 24 pre - applications have been returned to date. Thoma will
follow up with those who have not yet responded. Town staff has also provided names of
property owners that may benefit from this program. Thoma will move forward with the
application process for the CDBG program. The application for the HOME program is due
March 21, 2008. The hearing was left open at 7:12 p.m.
The applicant for the special permit hearing was not present and the board moved
forward with the agenda.
CITIZENS PRIVILEGE
Don Scutt, speaking on behalf of the Kiwanis Club of Dryden, Town's Recreation
Department could use its list serve to announce sign -ups and provide forms for the Kiwanis
Baseball Program. Supv Sumner said she didn't have a problem with that, provided it was
alright with the Recreation Coordinator. She will talk with the Rec Coordinator and ask her to
call Don Scutt.
1 Dan Schmohe, of the Dryden Recreation Commission, said there seems to be quite a
bit of concern as to how the Dryden Recreation Commission, the Department, the Town Board
and all the other entities involved in recreation coordinate and work and interact with one

• another. He would like to see an organisational chart developed. 'There is some concern that
the Youth Commission may be providing the same types of programs as the Recreation
Commission. The Recreation Commission wants to know what: their role is in the development
of the Master Plan and what other organizations may be brought into that discussion. D
Schmohe will contact Supv Sumner and set up an appointment to discuss his concerns.
Mike Lane said the resignation of Elliott Spitzer is cause for reflection. In his lifetime
he has seen 11 US Presidents and only 7 New York State Governors. Elliott Spitzer was elected
by an incredible margin because of what he had done and what he said, and he crashed and
burned this week. However, what: he said in his inaugural speech still needs to be done. New
York remains a state with a highly dysfunctional government. The problems reflect not only on
state government, but on local government. He said there is hope because the people want a
change, and we should think about that and take action.
Tompkins Country Sheriff
Supv Sumner said that Cheryl Nelson spoke in November and December about the
possibility of contracting with the Sheriffs Dept: for additional law enforcement coverage in the
Town. She introduced Sheriff Peter Meskill, with whom she has discussed the matter. She
said that her understanding from talking with residents is that the main concern is speed
enforcement.
P Meskill said he doesn't recommend that we actually get right into contracting until we
figure out specifically what the problems are and try to find other solutions for them. Without
that groundwork a contract will not be beneficial. He said they don't have a large staff and try
to do the best with what they have and try to iron the out the "hot spots', whether it is criminal
activity or traffic infractions, when they know about them. A short term solution is to make
the Sheriff aware of what the problem is with specifics, such as one particular vehicle at a
certain time of day, or if there is speeding traffic at certain times of day. They can then try to
schedule a patrol for that area. He said he has not received many complaints from the Town of
Dryden recently.
It was noted the recent request to lower the speed limit on Tall Creek Road has been
denied. Sheriff Meskill said these requests should be accompanied by a petition and /or letters
from residents. Supv Sumner's office will collect information about specific areas. Sheriff
Meskill will provide a template for the information.
Cl Makar asked if there are other towns that contract with the Sheriff for extra
enforcement and Sheriff Meskill said not currently for traffic control. They did contract for a
short period of time with the Town of Ithaca for a few specific areas. He said they can do what
the Town wants within reason, but before any contract is negotiated they need to determine if
there really is a problem and devise a plan. He would be willing to look at a short term
experiment, but something ongoing would need to be a fairly lengthy contract for him to
maintain a fairly stable workforce. Residents can also contact the State Police when they have
a concern or complaint.
Jack Bush cautioned the board that when traffic studies were conducted after
complaints of excessive speed, the results showed that in fact most vehicles gravelled within the
posted speed limits. The expense to catch a few speeders may not be justifiable. A contract
won't cure the problem. Supv Sumner said they are nowhere near contracting with the Sheriffs
Department, but simply gathering more information because the question was raised. Sheriff
Meskill said you need to look at all the possible solutions to a problem.
• J Bush thanked the Sheriff for his department's prompt attention and assistance when
he had an incident with the snow plow he was driving on Saturday on Mount Pleasant Road.

At 8:00 p.m Supv Sumner closed the public hearing on the CDBG application and
opened the public hearing for the Hannolly Properties Special Permit.
PUBLIC HEARING
SPECIAL USE PERMIT APPLICATION OF HANNOLLY PROPERTIES, LLC
CONSTRUCTION COMPANY AND RELATED PROPERTY MANAGEMENT BUSINESS AT
465 NORTH ROAD
Town Clerk B Hollenbeck read the legal notice published in The Rhaca Journal. The
board has received a copy of the application and information from the Zoning office. David
McMasters of Hannolly Properties said he owns a small excavation and concrete company with
6 to 10 employees. They do concrete foundations and site work, and want to use the property
for equipment and material storage. Neighbor Bertha McGory thanked Mr McMasters for
cleaning up the property.
Supv Sumner said there are no negative comments from either the Town Engineers or
Tompkins County Planning. The Board reviewed the Short Form EAF.

The Board reviewed the criteria for special permit approval ( §1303.2 a through g) and
noted that he has deemed the application complete (a) and that no stormwater management
permit is necessary (g). There was a question whether the driveway/ parking area was being
expanded or only repaired and applicant said he is adding material, but not increasing the size.
In reviewing the criteria, the board found no negative effects.
17 Kwasnowsld said he had discussed the parking lot with ZO Slater, and that it is fine
from a stormwater perspective. He advised the applicant that since he is in the excavation
business, if he is going to store topsoil or anything else in large quantities to let the Zoning
Office know, because the stormwater review right now covers the permit, but not any later
operations.
RESOLUTION 063 - APPROVE SPECIAL PERMIT APPLICATION OF MCMASTER D /B /A
HANNOLLY PROPERTIES, LLC
Supv Sumner offered the following resolution and asked for its adoption:
RESOLVED, that this Town Board hereby approves the application of David and
Jennifer McMasters d /b /a Hannolly Properties, LLC to operate of a construction and related
use business at 465 North Road in the Town of Dryden, subject to Standard Conditions of
Approval (1- 2008).

The Board has received the Clerk's monthly report and B Hollenbeck noted that the
amount received by the Town for dog licenses includes $550 in enumeration fees. The dog
enumeration continues and the additional fees will offset the expense of the enumeration. She
noted that about 60% of the dogs found to be unlicensed are licensed without further action by
the Clerk's Office.
B Hollenbeck shared with the board some changes with respect to passports and the
option for passcards. Passport fees have been increased to $75.00 (from $67.00), while the
execution paid to the town was decreased to $25.00 (from $30.00).
B Hollenbeck talked with the Board about her and her deputy clerk both attending the
NYS Town Clerks Conference in April. Because she is a District Director for the Association,
she is expected to attend, but would also like her deputy to attend this year. This would mean
closing the Town Clerks Office from April 28 through April 30, 2008. She explained this is a
good opportunity to meet with others in the same position and with the people in the State
departments that her office does business with. She said she doesn't believe it will have a huge
impact on our citizens if we advertise in advance. Mike Lane and Atty Perkins said they
believed the office should be open. Supv Sumner said she felt it was a pretty good investment,
that for three days of closing we would end up with better Town Clerk service, but we should
try not to let it happen again. She further explained the board does not need to approve this as
it is the Clerk's decision, but B Hollenbeck asked the board for a resolution.
• RESOLUTION #66 - TOWN CLERK ATTENDANCE AT CONFERENCE
RESOLVED, that this Town Board hereby approves attendance by the Town Clerk and
her Deputy at the 2008 NYS Town Clerks Conference, and further approves closing the Town
Clerk's Office April 28 through April 30, 2008,

HIGHWAY /DPW DEPARTMENT
Jack Bush said that someone from the school is coming tomorrow with a buffer and will
instruct his employee on how to buff the floors in the Town Hall.
He added that he was involved in an accident on Mt Pleasant Road with one of the snow
plow trucks. The truck was seriously damaged, but he was unhurt. The insurance adjuster
has looked at the truck and will make a decision whether to total it or have it repaired. The
truck lost traction and he slid backward and flipped the truck.
The board briefly discussed the difficulty in keeping a supply of road salt for the Town
this year.
RECREATION DEPARTMENT
Supv Sumner said Melissa Bianconi is unable to attend tonight, but has submitted her
Page 5 of 10
TB 3 -12 -08
report. She will be unable to attend the next few Board meetings because she is participating
in planning for Dryden Dairy Day and they meet the same time as Town Board.
COUNTY BRIEFING
M Robertson said Tompkins County has three shelters for homeless. From 1997 to
2006 there has been a steady increase in the number of "bed nights", with the count for 2006
being more than 16,000. The count for 2007 went down to 11,000. They believe this reflects a
decreased need and not just a decreased use. This reflects some concerted efforts by the
agencies involved. The housing task force is looking at this information and analyzing it. Cl
Makar asked if there was a way to determine whether any of these people come from Dryden.
M Robertson said she knows there is a lot of inadequate housing in Dryden and a high number
of children that get free lunch from the school lunch program. The Youth Services tracks child
poverty and she will gather some information on poverty in Dryden to bring back next month.
The County has been working with a gift from Cornell University. Ten million dollars
will be used for transportation projects and ten million dollars will be used for housing
projects. Tompkins County would like to use the majority of the money to be used for
increasing the supply of affordable housing in targeted areas. Targeted areas would be areas
identified in comprehensive plans and areas where there is infrastructure and fairly close to
Cornell so that people will use the transportation network. They hope to be able to announce a
couple of significant initiatives later this year.
M Robertson said applications have slowed down for the County IDA and they have
nothing in the works right now for new construction. A lot of businesses are expanding into
previously updated spaces. The IDA is interested in working with the Town regarding a density
policy to encourage development in specific areas.
ZONING OFFICE
ZO Slater said he had put out a request for proposals for restoration of the Tuttle barn.
He thought it was an exempt project under the procurement policy, but legal counsel advises
him that it is in fact a public works project, so he will have to revisit that. The two proposals
he did receive were for a large amount of money and he would like the people working on this
project to meet again with some guidance from legal counsel on how to proceed. No
recommendations will be made until after that meeting takes place.
The heat in the town hall seems to be finally working correctly, though there is a leak
that needs to be repaired.
K Ezell said he has received one quote for a sound system for the meeting room. It
includes several microphones, amplifiers, mixers, a ed recorder, cable and hardware and
installation, calibration and training. For $200 they can add a transcriber package. The price
can be reduced by $1800 if a different style microphone is used. He expects another quote
from someone who will also quote assisted listening devices. The quote for the overhead
projector is $1,759. Cl Makar said the Technology Committee will review the quotes when they
are finally received. Supv Sumner asked if this was something that could be acquired in
phases and was told it could. She noted the priority is for microphones.
Supv Sumner announced that the Recreation Department will hold an Egg Hunt on
March 22 at 11:00 a.m. at Montgomery Park for residents ages 8 and under.
ENVIRONMENTAL PLANNER
Dan Kwasnowski presented the board with a check in the amount of $21,000 from
Page 6 of 10
TB 3 -12 -08
• NYSERDA for the 'Gown's efforts in construction of the new town hall.
The Planning Board is hosting a public meeting tomorrow night, March 13, at 7:00 p.m.
at the Town Hall. Behan Plaruiing Associates will be presenting design guidelines for
residential and commercial properties. The guidelines help developers and people develop their
property in a way that reduces curb cuts and utilizes t:he property in a beneficial way. This is
part of the implementation of the Comprehensive Plan and they are looking for public input.
Last year the board approved a contract with the Finger Lakes Land Trust for the
Campbell property and D Kwasnowski heard today that the Campbells have accepted the
language approved by the Town, so that project will be moving forward. D Kwasnowski will be
working on a strategic management plan for the property.
The board has previously received for review a proposal D Kwasnowski prepared for the
William George Agency concerning development of the Dryden - FreeviIle trail. The other
property involved is RPM Ecosystems and they are anxious to move ahead. D Kwasnowski said
he would like to send the proposal to the William George Agency and then set up a meeting
with them, himself and Supv Sumner to discuss it. Use of their property will be by long -term
lease. He said a lot of the issues can be addressed fairly easily. There is one area where they
have a lot of activity (horse and vehicle traffic) that he has dubbed "Times Square" and that will
be the most difficult area. They are proposing a bridge over that area. The traffic analysis on
George Road indicates a tunnel under the road would be safest for trail users there. The board
asked him to set up a meeting with the William George Agency.
D Kwasnowski provided the board with a synopsis of what they had previously
discussed about big box retail that summarizes the issues and gives a quick scope of what the
is regulatory approaches might be. His recommendation is to refer this to the Planning Board
and have them treat it as if were part of the Comprehensive Plan. He said this is something
that he would like some help with; that the Town needs some expertise in this area. He
suggested that the Town do a request for qualifications to get some help with this. Supv
Sumner would like the Planning Board to review D Kwasnowski's letter and give the Town
Board a recommendation next month as to how they would like to proceed.
ENGINEERING
D Putnam said TG Miller has received the TC3 drawings and reviewed them and sent
them back. They are waiting for better weather to determine what needs to be done with
respect to the retention pond at the Town Hall.

No report.
Supv Sumner said last month there was a request from Mr Garvan on Lower Creek
Road to connect to water service in the Monkey Run District. The Town's policy has been to
make exceptions for out of district users if they connect to water and sewer, if they enter into a
buy -back agreement, and if they construct the improvements to town specifications. Supv
Sumner said she did have a question as to why he was interested in the water connection and
he said his water quality is horrible and that is the only reason he is asking for this. He
proposes to build a connection that does not conform to town specifications and there will be
• no buy -back agreement as it is solely for his convenience. The cost to him would be $3,461.04
plus the annual benefit assessment and the connection charges to Bolton Point. Garvan is
agreeable to this and the board needs to discuss the criteria for making the exception.
Page 7of10
,rB 3 -12 -08
Atty Perkins said the Town has never had a request for something that: was really
nothing more than a service. Others have installed lines that met Town specifications with the
idea that someday it might become part of the Town's infrastructure and utilized to serve other
areas. That's why the Town has in the past asked that they connect to both water and sewer.
Garvan proposes to be a customer of water only via a copper service line.
The board is concerned with setting a precedent and after some discussion the board
tabled the matter to next month.
The deadline for a decision on the Tuttle house was discussed. The cost of demolition
is estimated between $16,000 and $26,000. The cost: to rehab the house is estimated at
around $150,000. Supv Sumner noted there is wide board chestnut in the house that may be
of value. K Ezell suggested contacting Historic Ithaca to see if they know of a use for the
chestnut. ZO Slater noted that the stone foundation from the house could be used in
restoration of the board. Supv Sumner would like to wait until next month to make a decision
while exploring other options. The board agreed to make a decision at the April meeting.
Supv Sumner announced that the April Town Board meeting will be held at the Etna
}moire Department and the June meeting will be held at the Varna Community Association. The
August and October locations are yet to be determined.
The Southern Cayuga Lake Intermunicipal Water Commission needs a resolution
regarding their union contract. The Board had received a proposed resolution from the
Commission, but Atty Perkins said that the Commission has no authority to execute the
document and it should be executed by the Town of Ithaca as the employer and prepared a
resolution accordingly. The board passed the resolution prepared by Atty Perkins.
RESOLUTION #66 - _Approval of Contract with the International Union of Operating
Engineers for Southern Cayuga Lake Intermunicipal Water Commission Employees
Cl Maker offered the following resolution and asked for its adoption:
WHEREAS, the majority of the Southern Cayuga Lake Intermunicipal Water
Commission's (Commission) non - managerial employees in the Production and Distribution
Departments voted affirmatively on January 31, 2001 to be represented by the International
Union of Operating Engineers for the purposes of collective bargaining; and
WHEREAS, the Commission, in good faith, entered into contract negotiations with the
union for a successor contract to the original contract that expires on December 31, 2007; and
WHEREAS, on November
1, 2007,
the Commission's negotiating team reached tentative
agreement on a contract with the
union's
negotiating team;
and
WHEREAS, on November 13, 2007, the employees in the union bargaining unit ratified
the tentative contract; and
WHEREAS, the Commission has reviewed and approved the tentative contract; and
WHEREAS, the Town of Dryden Board has reviewed the tentative contract and
determined it to be acceptable;
• NOW, TI•IEREFORE, BE IT

RESOLVED, the Town Board of the 'Town of Dryden does hereby approve the tentative
contract; and, be it further
RESOLVED, the Town Board authorizes the Town of Ithaca Town Board or the Towvn of
Ithaca Supervisor, as agent for the Commission, to sign said contract with the deletion of any
reference to the Commission being a municipal corporation.

Supv Sumner continues to work on the Annual Report. She said she still needs reports
from the Fire Departments and presented the most recent draft. She is working with ZO Slater
on getting estimates for printing and mailing.
ZO Slater said there has been a hold up on doing anything with a sign for the building
because of a town emblem. He and Josh Bogdan have been working on it and have a few
ideas. They have tried to come up with something that doesn't leave anyone out or offend
anyone. They are working with something that shows the outline of the Town of Dryden
corning out of Tompkins County and the words Town of Dryden - Gateway to the Finger
Lakes". The board will review the design and approve it at the next meeting.
COMMITTEE REPORTS
Emergency Services Committee - Cl Makar reported they met on Monday. They are
planning on having meetings with members of the boards of directors of the fire departments
three times this year to bring them together for discussion of several topics.
Personnel Committee - Cl Leifer reported that he and Cl Stelick have finished going
through the working copy of the proposed personnel manual. They will be inserting
amendments and hope to have a draft copy for the board in April for review. They hope to be
able to vote on this in May.
Recreation /Youth /Community Centers Committee - Cl Leifer said he was unable to
attend the last DRC meeting and doesn't: know if Cl Stelick was able to attend. They will be
holding the Rec Committee meetings at the same time they hold the Personnel Committee
meetings. The big issue as far as DRC, Community Centers and Youth Commission seems to
be communication between the groups and that is something they will be working on. The
biggest issue will be the rewrite of the Rec Commission local law.
FYnance Committee - Cl Makar reported they met today at 5:00 p.m. One of the tasks
of the committee is to review the Abstract and sign it, so at 7:00 p.m. tonight, three different
members of the Town Board have gone through the entire abstract: and signed all the
documents. They will continue to do it this way, instead of having it on the desk at the board
meeting and trying to look at it then.
RESOLUTION #67 - APPROVE ABSTRACT #3
Cl Makar offered the following resolution and asked for its adoption:
RESOLVED, ghat this Town Board hereby approves Abstract #3, as audited, vouchers
# 170 through #255, totaling $231,925.10.

Supv Sumner thanked the board for getting right to work. She added that the
Committee reviewed the finance report in the annual report that shows the Town had almost a
million dollars more in revenue than was budgeted for, and 1.2 million less in expenditures.
That surplus is almost as much as was budgeted from the fund balance the prior year. So the
fund balance is not being spent down as much as one might assume, and that is a good thing.
HUD Loans & Grants Committee - Cl Makar said they will be meeting and have
nothing new to report other than the hearing held this evening in connection with the CDBG
applications. We probably won't hear whether we have been awarded until September or
October and the funding won't be received to start: rehab projects until January or Pebruary.
Technology Committee - Cl Makar said they have seen a proof of the new website.
Comments have been made by the Committee and hopefully by the next Town Board meeting
they will have something to review. So far it looks pretty good.
Supv
Sumner said a special
advisory committer-, will be
formed for the Recreation
Master Plan
and encouraged people
to let her know if they are
interested.
Cl Makar said he met with the Conservation Board last night and in January to discuss
how Dryden can be more energy independent. The Conservation Board will be able to review
projects and offer advice rather than doing all the work. The idea is to have a new committee
similar to what the Town of Caroline has, which is a group called Energy Independent Caroline.
They will have a group of people to figure out what the problems are and what the solutions
can be and prioritize those. They will consider using different types of fuel, solar and wind
energy, purchasing wind energy to offset our coal usage, energy efficient landscaping, light
bulbs, etc. Cl Makar will bring a proposal for that committee in the next month or so.
The idea of living snow fences to prevent snow from across the roads where that is a
problem was briefly discussed. Such issues as private property, maintenance, etc., would need
to be resolved.
There being no further business, on motion made, seconded and unanimously carried,
the meeting was adjourned at 10:14 p.m.
