PUBLIC HEARING
SPECIAL USE PERMIT APPLICATION OF AT&T MOBILITY
TO CONSTRUCT A 140' TELECOMMUNICATION TOWER
AT 14 FARVIEW DRIVE
Tompkins Cortland Community College was previously granted permission to have a
temporary AT &T tower, referred to as a cell on wheels (COW) in order to gain better reception
for certain applications the college uses to communicate with its students. This application is
to construct a permanent structure about 1.00 yards from the COW, near the water tank on
campus.
Dan Tier, 159 Livermore Road, asked what the height of the temporary tower was and
was told it was 109'. He asked whether the applicant had considered co- locating on any of the
nearby towers. Doug Migl.iocci of AT&T displayed the rf propagation maps and explained why
they were not utilized. He explained the difference; between the basic on -air coverage and what
is necessary to penetrate the TC3 building. TC3 uses a Rave Guardian program and
contractually, AT &T must provide in- building coverage. Use of existing towers would not give
them the in- building coverage they arc obligated to provide.
1) Tier asked whether they had checked into using a repeater system. The rf engineer
said he didn't believe they had looked at that option. it would involve installing antennas in
multiple rooms, floors and buildings and is quite a complicated system. With the tower, it is
one location that will provide coverage to many areas and provides better coverage. This tower
will also service the Village of Dryden.
D Tier asked if this tower would interfere with service on the emergency services tower.
He understands that: the new tower will be 140' and that is taller than the COW. The response
was that the Town requires the tower to built to accommodate additional carriers. With the
height of the trees and where they need to broadcast, they feel 1.40' is reasonable and meets
the co- location requirement. Other carriers probably wouldn't want to co- locate if it was lower
because the terrain.

17 Tier asked if they had considered co- locating an the nearby Croon tower and was told
they could nol: obtain the: inquired coverage fivra that tower,
A representative of AT&T said they are not in the business of building towers and will
co- locate whenever possible on an existing tower. For coverage purposes, they need a tower in
the location applied for,
The proposed tower will host six 8' panel- stylt-- antennas, There will be no lights on the
tower, unless the board require -s it. It is well below the height that the FCC would require
lights.
Dan 'leer, Doug Hoyt, and ,John Buckholt2,, all of Livermore Road, reviewed Che_ site plan
and photos with the applicant_
D Tier asked if the
tower would affect digital tv
reccption and was w1d it would not.

D Hoyt asked why }ther the tower would interfere with his dish tv antenna which ppinI:&
right over the trees, and {eras told it would riot. He asked whether there would be any increased
cancer risk and was told a person gets mare microwave exposure frorrk a cell phone than from
the tower. AT&T must meet the federal standards. Supv Sumner said she has some health
studies in her orficc, and invited Mr Hoyt to review diem.
J RuckhoItz said he is concerned ahou t the aestbetics of the area and the impact of this
tower on property values. Ativ perceived health risk would also have an effect on property
values. He appreciates that thiLN tower helps TC;3, but it doesn't: do anything for him.
At 7:30 p.m. because the board was minus one board member and to give residents an
opportunity to look at the application materials at length, the hearing was continued to the
July- S board meeting.

B Hollenbeck had previously sent a memo to board members requesting that there no
® longer be a fee associated with obtaining duplicate tax receipts, Because of changes in
technology, the clerks arc now able to fax or email a duplicate receipt from their desktops
without expense to the town (no paper, no telephone charges),
RESOLUTION #100 - REPEAL FEE SCHEDULE FOR DUPLICATE TAR RECEIPTS
Cl Leifer offered the following resolution and asked for its adoption:
WHEREAS, in 1.998
the Town
Board adopted a fee schedule
for
duplicate tax receipts to
recover the costs associated with
mailing, faxing, and
duplicating a
tax
receipt; and
WHEREAS, advances in technology, elimination of telephone charges because of
bundled services, and the burden of tracking who has or has not paid the duplication fee is
more costly that the revenue generated by the fee; and
WHEREAS, the
Town of Dryden finds
that fees
should not be charged for a service if
there is no perceived or
measureable cost to
the Town
for providing the service;
Now, therefore, be it
RESOLVED, that: this Town Board abolish the fee schedule for providing duplicate tax
receipts and permit the Town Clerk to provide the senrice for no charge.

Dryden Youth Commission
Cl Solomon Yes
Supv Sumner Yes
Cl Makar Yes
Cl Leifer Yes
Tom Fuchs, one of the Town's representatives on the Dryden Youth Commission, gave a
recap of the 2008 Annual Report of the Commission (attached). Last year the commission,
through its progra.rns, reached over 255 individual youth, If you consider the duplicated count
(students who participate in multiple programs) the number becomes about: 836. Last year
students designed an employment guide to help teenagers find a job in the Dryden area. The
OURS Program sponsored the Community Build project in which they built and installed
benches, picnic tables, mailboxes and swing sets in Hanshaw Village Mobile Home Park.
Through a special grants program a group of students accepted applications and awarded
grant funds for community projects.
The Youth Commission placed youth in jobs at: the Brooktondale Summer Camp and
with the Villages of Dryden and Freeville. Other programs funded through the Commission
included Animal Connections and Animal Helpers, Food Glorious Food, Primitive Pursuits,
HOPE, and Photography. The Village of Dryden Police Department provided a Jr. Police
Academy and visited classrooms in the elementary schools with presentations on resisting
drugs and alcohol, personal safety, bullying, and more.
The last Needs Assessment for the Commission was done in 2006 and they have just:
finished gathering information for the 2009 Needs Assessment.
T Fuchs noted
that: decreased funding this
year and anticipated future decreases
will
cause fewer programs
to be funded and eliminate
new programs from being started. He
said

the Commission appreciates the Support of the Town, and encourages the Town to allocate
funds in addition to the matching contribution it already makes.
Supv Sumner said she believes the work of the Dryden Youth Commission is stellar.
She has visited the OURS Program several times and the summer camps occasionally. She
appreciates that it runs so effectively and she thanked them for their service.
DISCUSSION
VERIZON CELL TOWER APPLICATION
1536 HANSHAW ROAD
Supv Sumner said the board has just received a draft findings statement prepared by
Atty Perkins. It was noted the board has 62 days from the time the public hearing was closed
to take action. If no action is taken, the application is deemed approved. After discussion, the
board scheduled a special meeting on this matter for June 24, 2009, at 6:00 p.m.

No report.
RECREATION DEPARTMENT
Melissa Bianconi said the Christopher Ackley Skateboard Park was inspected last
Friday and deemed safe by Parkitechts and is officially open for the season. It will be staffed
from 3:30 p.m. until dusk and equipment that is not too heavy to be put away will be taken
care of nightly.
OThe Department will employ three youths through Tompkins Country Work Force this
summer. M Bianconi said she hopes to bring them, and the entire summer staff, to next
month's board meeting. In addition to the Work Force kids, she has one worker funded
through Cooperative Extension and the Town summer seasonal staff.
The 2009 Summer Program Guide was distributed for board members to review. More
programs are offered in the summer than in the spring. The brochure also includes programs
offered by other organizations and groups this summer. New programs offered by the Rec Dept
include a summer drop -in program at Montgomery Park and adult outdoor education classes.
Dryden Old Horne Days will be held July 31 and August 1. People from all areas of the
community are involved in planning this event. Everyone involved agrees that fireworks are
essc ritial to the event:. They are a little concerned about funding for the event, as it is currently
solely funded by the cch brations grant and some funding from the Dryden Rec Dept. The
Dryden Recreation Commission asked M Bianconi to request that the Town fund fireworks for
the event. A proposal for a 22 minute fireworks display with a cost of $2,500 was discussed.
The proposal is from the sarne company that did the recent fireworks display for TC3.
Cl
Leifer noted that
currently the Rec Department
is ahead of its revenue projections for
the year,
and this would be
reinvesting recreation money
into recreation.
RESOLUTION # 101 - AUTHORIZE FUNDS FOR FIREWORKS FOR OLD HOME DAYS
Cl Leifer offered the following resolution and asked for its adoption:
RESOLVED, that this Town Board supports the proposal for fireworks for Old Home
Days and hereby authorizes the expenditure of $2,500.00 for the same.

Supv Sumner thanked Melissa Bianconi for the time she has put into planning the Old
Horne Days celebration.
M Bianconi presented a portion of the Recreation Master Plan they are working on,
entitled "Delivery System and Program Providers" for the board to review.
The program brochure will be delivered to all children in thew three elementary schools in
Dryden School District, and piles of brochures will be left at the entrances to the high school
and middle school. It: is also available as a pdf on the Recreation Department websit:c and is
distributed via their email distribution list (about 750 addresses). brochures are left at other
key locations in an effort to reach children in other school districts. Individual programs are
also advertised in places such as The Shopper. M Robertson asked that brochures be left at
the Caroline school and offered to assist with that.
COUNTY BRIEFING
M Robertson echoed T Fuchs concerns for funding for youth services. "There have been
state cuts in youth services funding and she said she is doubtful that the County will be able
to replace what was cut or keep up their own level of funding for youth programming. if there
is any way that the Town can provide more than what the state will ask for a match that would
O be good. Supv Sumner said as far as she knows the Youth Commission is only losing about
$1,000 and they are covering that by leaving one youth job vacant. They are trying to stay on
top of it.
M Robertson said the County Legislature has set a target of minus 6.25 %. This does
not mean across the board cuts. The goal for the levy is a 3% increase. In order to achieve
that, county departments will have to cut 6.25% of what they had this year, This is a planning
tool, and not necessarily every department will be cut by 6.25%. She reported a month ago
that a maintenance of effort budget would result in a 15% increase in the levy. Department
heads have been asked to reduce their budgets by 6.25% initially, though the legislature
realizes this means different things for different departments, and there will be no across the
board cuts. They are counting on certain revenue increases, but. it: still means cutting 2.4
million dollars from their budget.
Congressman Arcuri has requested that two local items be included in the next
transportation bill_ Those are 2, 1. million dollars for the reconstruction of Ellis Hollow Road
and 2.25 million for reconstruction of Peniville Road from Route 38 to Salt Road.
Tompkins County Planning Committee: looked at proposals from the Planning
Department for three flood hazard mitigation projects. One of the projects chosen was for an
agricultural buffer on Fall Creek near the intersection of Fall Creek and Herman Roads (Cornell
University harms). This is an $8,000 project that will protect the farm as well as the stream.
M Robertson said she understands that Ed Marx has spoken with Supv Surnner about
trying to work together on the Red Mill Road Bridge project. Supv Sumner said the County
would look more favorably at the project if the Town were to come up with some funding. She
wants to look at how much the Town can contribute, and noted that if the project is done
without federal funding, it can be a less expensive project. She will work on that this month,

and has asked Beck Farms to update the information they have on the cost of using alternative
routes in terms of fuel use.
ZONING OFFICER
K Ezell reported he attended a NYSBOC meeting last week with Department: of State
officials. One topic, of discussion was the financial woes the Department is experiencing. In
past years the state has paid membership fees for code officers and purchased their code
books. Membership is $100 for the Town, and $400 per set of code books. They may be able
to pay for these items with federal stimulus money. The federal stimulus money is contingent.
on New York State's adoption of the 2009 Energy Conservation Code.
The International Codes Conference will be held in Baltimore from October 31 to
November 3. K Ezell is planning to go and be part of the annual business meeting, He would
like to go earlier to be part of the hearings on the residential code. There is money in the
budget to cover this.
The fee for operating permits issued by the Zoning Office. The fee, under Local Law No.
I of 2007, is $200.00. The Zoning Department suggests that the fee be changed to $25.00 and
a proposed resolution was presented. Atty Perkins noted that in order to accomplish the fee
change, the board would need to hold a public hearing on the proposed resolution, and adopt it
after the public hearing. This fee is not associated with fire safety or life safety inspections.
Operating permits are required for:
(1) manufacturing, storing
or handling hazardous materials in
quantities
exceeding those listed in Tables 2703.1.1(1),
® publication entitled "Fire Code of New York
270:3.1.1(2), 2703.1.1(3)

(2) hazardous processes and
activities, including but

byproduct, fruit and crop

(3) use of pyrotechnic devices in assembly occupancies;
(4) buildings containing one or more areas of public, assembly with an occupant
load of 100 persons or more; and
(5) buildings whose use or occupancy classification may pose a substantial
potential hazard to public safety, as determined by resolution adopted by the Town Board of
the Town.
To date there has been no application for an operating permit. ZO Ezell said he believed
a $25.00 fee is a minimal fee.
When the public: hearing was originally held

TB 6 -10 -09
section on fire safety and property maintenance inspections and that section also allows the
town to set a fee. He suggested that if these are done at the same time, set one fee. If they
aren't done at the same time, the Town could charge a separate fee for the operating permit.
That: way you help offset the cost of doing the inspection. Currently all fire safety inspections
are done free of charge as a service. Supv Sumner suggested that fire safely, inspections
continue to be free and a $25.00 be charged for operating permits, which rarely come up. If in
the future there seem to be a lot of them and they consume a great: deal of time, the amount
charged can be revisited. There was discussion of excluding not- for - profit organizations,
%O Ezell said he would email copies of the operating permit application and the fire
safety checklist that is currently used.
After further discussion, the proposed resolution was introduced by Cl Makar, seconded
by Cl Leifer and the public hearing was scheduled.
AMENDING THE FEE STRUCTURE FOR OPERATING PERMITS AS ESTABLISHED
BY RESOLUTION NO. 65 (2007)
Councilperson Makar offered the following resolution and asked for its adoption:
WHEREAS, by Local Law No. 1 of the year 2007 (a local law providing for the
administration. and enforcement of New York State Uniform Fire Prevention and Building code
and other Town of Dryden local laws and ordinances), the Town of Dryden, in enforcement of
the Uniform Code, requires operating permits for certain activities or categories of buildings as
set forth in Section 10(a) of such local law, and
WHEREAS, Section 1.6 of such local law authorizes the Town Board by resolution to
oestablish a fee schedule for - among other permits - operating permits, and
WHEREAS, by Resolution No. 65 (2007) the Town Board established a fee schedule
which included a fee of $200 for operating permits required by such local law, and
WHEREAS, the Town Board is now desirous to amend such fee schedule as it pertaims
to the fee for operating permits, now, therefore,
BE IT RESOLVED AS FOLLOWS:
1. The fee for operating permits shall be $25.00.
2. The fee schedule shall be amended to reflect such reduction.
3. This resolution shall take effect following a public hearing on at least ten (10)
days prior notice as provided by Section 16 of such local law,
A public: hearing must be held before the resolution can be adopted_
RESOLUTION # 102 - SCHEDULE PUBLIC HEARING ON FEE FOR OPERATING PERMITS
Cl Makar offered the following resolution and asked for its adoption:

With respect to the weatherization grants, ZO Slater reported four completed projects
and one in progress.
ZO Slater said the Village of Dryden had asked him to find out whether the board had
given further thought to a Cortland Road Water District. The Village reports the water line on
North Street has broken several times since the boards met jointly in May. Supv Sumner
appointed a committee of herself, Cl Solomon, ZO Slater and Cl Makar to work with the Village
on this matter. She explained that the old cast iron line needs to be replaced and the Village is
unable to replace it outside the village limits. Customers on the line are out of district users,
and the Town is not allowed to fix it because a new water district: has not been formed. Supv
Sumner asked ZO Slater to let the Village officials know that the committee will be meeting
among themselves and expect to meet with the Village by the end of the month.
The HOME housing, rehab prograrn is moving forward, and the oversight committee will
be meeting on Tuesday to review applications.
ZO Slater displayed an example of what. the Tuttle barn will look like after it is
renovated and explained the project. The newer parts of the building will be removed and lofts
will be installed at either end. There will be two large doors and two smaller doors. He and
Supv Sumner have met: with Richard Lobdell, who was the low bidder on the project. The
board was presented with iA)bdell's proposal and a proposed contract. The Highway
Superintendent has reviewed the project and has agreed to help in hauling away any masonry
rubble that can used as fill material and will haul in the stone for the site. He has also agreed
to wire the building in the next fiscal year as a DPW project. ZO Slater said the Recreation
Department will utilize the building for recreational events and storage of some of their
equipment, and said this may be key to the development of the recreational area behind it.
The cost of the project is $50,000. There is $30,000 budgeted this year, there is about
$1.0,000 savings in liability insuranc;c;, and it is proposed to take the other $10,000 from
contingency.
It is estimated
the
project will take about
a month to complete and will be ready to be
used for events in the
fall.
The Zoning Office will
supervise the project.

UNFINISHED BUSINESS
® Supv Sumner provided board members with information on health insurance rates as
proposed for the health insurance consortium and information on the dental, vision, legal,
disability, and life insurance currently provided by the Town through Teamsters that is not
offered by the consortium at this point. As it presently stands, the Town would not recognize a
savings by going with the consortium, though the premiums in the future could be
substantially different. Municipalities represented by Teamsters are meeting Monday to talk
about adding riders to cover the additional benefits.
The consortium is hoping that municipalities will confirm membership at their duly
meetings. The timeline includes ratifying membership by September, though you still have an
opportunity to withdraw up to October 3. According to New York State law, they need 2,000
contracts for the consortium, and the City and the County together have about 1,800. They
need at least 200 town and village employees to be included.
Supv Sumner asked the board to consider creating a credit card policy and obtaining a
credit card for the Town. She said there are times when the Town could save money ordering
items on line if we could use a credit card. Sometimes employees use their own card and get
reimbursed. She asked the board to look over the list of items she believes need to be
discussed prior to authorizing it, and be prepared to act next month.
The board recessed from 9:50 to 9:57 p.m.
NEW BUSINESS
Supv Sumner said the Town was very fortunate to find someone as skilled and
O experienced as Andrew Pierce when he was hired, and he has been doing a great. deal more
than we anticipated. He was recently offered another job, and she proposes that his salary be
increased from its current $27,000 to $31,000, effective with the first• paycheck in July. This
would require a budget modification of $2,000 (six months of the increase), within the
Recreation Department Budget. Supv Sumner said he has been doing an extraordinary job and
is much more qualified than what they had anticipated for that position. Cl Makar asked if his
job description would be modified and Supv Sumner said she anticipated it would change, but
that would not be part of this resolution.

Supv Sumner said she had received a new contract for Code Enforcement with the
Village of Dryden. It is exactly the same as last year's contract except for a three percent
increase in the amount they pay us for code enforcement (from $20,160.00 to $20,764.00).
She asked the board for authorization to sign the contract. Cl Makar noted that staff received
a larger salary increase than is reflected in the contract. The matter was put on the July
agenda and Supv Sumner will gather information from the Zoning Department with respect to
the amount of time devoted to code enforcement duties for the village.
COMMITTEE REPORTS
Emergency Services Committee - Supv Sumner reported they met: in Mclean and
talked with them about how their )sire District is working for them and how it differs from what
the 'Town does with other departments. The departments are still interested in having a fuel
tank with either straight diesel or no more than S% biodiesel. Neptune and Freevi.11e are now
getting fuel from the Village. The others get gas at various gas stations. The departments are
still discussing where to locate the tank. Supv Sumner said she has spoken with the Highway
Superintendent, and it looks like well be looking at it as a next year budget issue.
Personnel Committee - Cl Leifer said the committee recommends adopting the format
used by the Town of Ithaca for performance appraisals, and would like to begin appraisals in
August. He asked the board to adopt the form and add it to the personnel manual. It: was
agreed that appraisals be done by the end of August this year, and by August 1 in future years.
This will be effective only for town hall staff until the committee has spoken with the Highway
Superintendent.

The personnel committee recommends that non- union, non - elected employees keep a
formal time sheet of their daily activities for a period of time. The reason for collecting the
information is to compare current.job descriptions with tasks actually performed. Job
descriptions may need to be revised to reflect the work that is actually done in certain
positions. They recommend logs be kept from the middle of June through the end of July.
Supv Sumner will present this to department heads at the next staff meeting.
The personnel committee is presently discussing holiday /vacation /sick days and health
insurance for certain part -time employees.
Finance Committee - Supv Sumner reviewed a report showing a summary of revenues

HUD Loans & Grants Committee - The oversight committee will be meeting with
Better Housing on Tuesday, June 16, 2009 at 9:00 a.m.
Cl Leifer reported he had received a letter from Division of Housing and Community
Renewal and his requests for stimulus money for weatherization projects and community
centers seem to be on track for formal applications. Because we already have functioning
programs with review processes, he feels we have a good chance.
Technology Committee - Cl Makar reported at their May meeting they discussed the
Time Warner coverage.
Chuck Bartosch updated the committee on the town -wide wireless project. The State
has the signed contracts and is waiting for the Attorney General to approve them. The
committee has urged C Bartosch to be ready to apply for permits as soon as the funds are
available. Supv Sumner said the board needs to work on waiving the building permit fees for
the project_ Mike Lane suggested they contract Senator Seward or Barbara Lifton to see if they
can help move the matter along.

Dryden Youth Commission
ISPresentation to the Town of Dryden Board
June 10, 2009
Hi Everyone. I am Tom Fuchs, one
Dryden Youth Commission. Thank
of the 2008 Annual Report for the E
answer any questions you may have
2 Let's start with numbers:
of three Town
you for giving
1YC. Since I F
and apologize
o f Dryden Representatives on the
me the time to provide a Quick recap
�m relatively new, I'll do my best to
in advance for any mistakes.
In 2008, programs sponsored by the DYC have reached over 255 individual youth
members ages 6 -18, BUT, if you factor in the duplicated count, those students who
participated in multiple programs, then this number jumps to approximately 836 students.
3 We offered numerous programs last year which included the following
A Dryden Youth Services offered by Cornell Cooperative Extension
frill time and 1 half time program manager offering activities year -round to
Dryden Youth. One great project, among many, was the development of a teen
employment guide designed by teenagers to help teenagers in the Dryden area
find a job.
B The O.U.R.S. Program (standing for Opportunities, Understanding, Respect ,
Success), offering year -round programming to low- income youth in mobile home
parks in Dryden. The programs were run by 50 Cornell student volunteers and
coordinated by Julie Newman, a half time CCE staff person. Last night at our
DYC meeting, three youth came and described projects with which they were
involved.
1 I-lanshaw Village Community Build Day, organizing, building, &
installing benches, picnic tables, mailboxes and swing sets in a green
space in the Hanshaw Village Park.
2 Through a special grants program, accepting applications for the dispersal
of funds to help the community. Students decided to award money to
programs that rebuilt a run down steeple for the Baptist Church, provide
training for suicide prevention counselors as well as provide wheelchair
access for the Dryden Conununity Cafd'
C Brooktondale Summer Camp - 11 Dryden Youth participated in this half -day,
summer recreation program as students and/or counselors & helpers.
D Village of Dryden Police & Community Program & Junior Police Academy -
Officers presented in the Dryden & Freeville elementary Schools numerous
programs on resisting drugs & alcohol, personal safety, bullying and more.
® E Village of Dryden and the Village of FrcevilleYouth .lobs program
DYC funded summer youth employment for 5 local teens, ages 14 -20
0 0
through the Village of Dryden Youth Jobs.
In Dryden, the jobs included clerical duties, work in the Dept. Of Works,
and work in the Dryden Summer Recreation program.
In Freeville, the jobs at the Freeville Summer camp included 7 teen
counselors (aged 16 -20) and 4 CIT's
(aged 14 -15).
4 Needs Assessment
Last needs assessment was done in 2006 and we have _just finished gathering information
for this year's Needs Assessment,
The DYC interviewed numerous community members of distinction and asked their
opinion of what they felt were the needs of area youth.
Community members included:
I
Chief Margaret Ryan, Dryden Police
Kate Benas, school counselor from the Dryden Schools
Linda Schoffel, from CCE (Connell Cooperative Extension)
Sandy Sherwood, Superintendent of Dryden Schools
Melissa Bianconi, Town of Dryden Recreation Director & Andrew Pierce
Mary Ann Sumner, Town of Dryden Supervisor
Some Recent findings...
1 2006 Findings continue to apply.
2 Chief Ryan also made us aware of an increase in levels of violence & mental
health issues; Especially troubling is the fact that they see these problems
happening at younger and younger ages. These trends are statewide & national as
well, and although Chief Ryan describes Dryden as a "typical" community, the
DYC discussed the prospect of increased early intervention programs and how
those programs may have the greatest positive impact on things such as
graduation rates and decreased crime.
3 Transportation continues to be a problem in our large area, (I 10 square miles
town!) So that limits some student participation
4 family inclusion would be ideal (think O.U.R.S.) and the need for increased
parental inclusion for programs that target younger elementary age children.
5 Peer mentoring programs and programs such as O.U.R.S. pairing college students
with young children are helpful.
6 Increased play spaces, especially .within easier reach of students (ie. Mobile home
parks)
is 7 f=unding:
Decreased funding this year and anticipated decreased funding in the upcoming
• years will cause fewer programs to be funded and also eliminate newer programs
from getting started and off the ground, especially programs that target younger
age groups.
It is estimated that the DYC will have close to $6000.00 less to spend in 2010
than it did in 2009.
The DYC knows that times are hard and economic problems hit families in need
even harder. And certainly the DYC appreciates every dollar it can use within the
community and we would certainly encourage the Town of Dryden to allocate any
money it has available above and beyond the matching contribution it already
makes. I certainly encourage you all to dig deep.
"Thank you for your time.
You all have a copy of the 2008 report,
and I'll do my best to answer any questions you may have.
Respectfully submitted,
Thomas Fuchs
Dryden Youth Commission
Town of Dryden Representative
Town of Dryden Personnel Committee report
The personnel committee met at 8:30am on May 28, 2009.
Steve Steliek
Jason Leifer
The topics discussed were:
Performance Appraisats
Health Insurance for part -time employees
Job ',Description updates, Time Sheets for June and July 2009
.Holiday /vacation /sick time for part -time employees
The Committee recommends that the Board adopt the performance review format
used by the Town of Ithaca for its performance reviews. Performance reviews would
occur each August.
Health insurance for part time employees was looked upon favorably and concerns
over cost were discussed. Health insurance was looked upon as useful for retaining
employees as well as recruiting, but the initial recommendation is to offer health
insurance to part time employees on a case -by -case basis, favoring those employees
with a fixed schedule. The minimum hours of work required (per week or per year)
to qualify was not discussed.
The committee recommends that the Supervisor require employees to keep a time
sheet for the months of June and July 2009. The purpose is to determine what each
employee's workday entails so that Job Descriptions can be updated if necessary.
As a general policy, holiday /vacation /sick day for part time employees was not
recommended at this time. However, the nature of a specific part -time employee's
employment conditions and schedule might make holiday pay appropriate.
A July meeting has yet to be scheduled.
