A OF 1994 A Local Law Providing for the Regulation of Junk Cars in the Town of Enfield. Section 1. Authority. This local law is adopted pursuant to Section 10(1)(ii)(a)(11) and (12) of the Municipal Home Rule Law of the State of New York. Section 2. Legislative Intent. This local law is enacted in recognition of the fact that junk cars abandoned or stored on private property can constitute both a public and private nuisance. They are a source of potential hazard to children and other may find them an attractive nuisance. They are replete with broken glass, sharp torn metal edges and points, gasoline remaining in tanks of a highly explosive and combustible nature and hazardous acid'in batteries, to mention but a few of the more obvious sources of potential physical hazard found on these junk cars. Besides this, these junk cars constitute a blight on the town's landscape; they hurt the welfare of the town as a whole. The intent of this local law is to establish a legal procedure for the removal of these junk cars where they are found in the town. Section 3. Definitions. For the purposes of this local • law, "junk car" shall mean, an unregistered, old, or secondhand motor vehicle, no longer intended or in condition for legal use on the public highways. "Motor vehicle" shall mean all vehicles propelled or drawn by power other than muscular power originally intended for use on public highways, except trailers. Section 4. Regulation. A home owner may have up to three junk cars visible to the public from the public highway. Section 5. Penalty. violators of any of the portions of this local law shall be guilty of an offense punishable by a fine not to exceed Twenty Five Dollars ($25.00), and each week that such violation is carried on or continues shall constitute a separate violation. Section 6. Enforcement. a. The Town Board is hereby authorized to appoint an Officer to enforce any and all provisions of this local law. b. Such Officer is authorized to issue appearance tickets regarding violations of this local law, returnable in the Justice Court of the Town of Enfield. • C. Such Officer is authorized to issue notices of violation prior to the issuance of an appearance ticket, which allows the • property owner to remedy any violation of this local law within 30 days. $aid property owner may appeal said notice of violation by filing a written notice of appeal with the Town Clerk within fifteen (15) days of service of the notice of violation. Such appeal shall thereafter be considered by the Tow Bord or an ticket appeal board designated by the Town Board. No appearance shall be issued unless a notice of violation has been served and any appeal taken therefrom has been finally determined. Section 7. Effective Date. This local law shall become effective immediately upon filing with the Secretary of State, but shall not be enforced until January 1, 1995. to • .� Editors note: 1 want to apologize to the senior citizens for not getting their article in the last issue, ny sincerest apologies4essica Connors Senior Citizens Of Enfield 1994 "Throughout the year the seniors have been very busy below are some of the various activities we have done this past year, The Harvest Festival Quilt, guest speakers, Luncheons at Holiday Inn and Richards, Train ride and tour of Taylor Winery, picnic at Taghannock State Park, boat trip at Old Port Harbour, Scottish dancing performance also our monthly luncheons.

The ECC wanted to let the seniors know how appreciated they are for their vital role in the community and for the support they offer the youth in Enfield. For ten years the seniors have hand crafted a quilt to be raffled off at the Harvest Festival. Over the years the quilt has raised thousands of dollars for the youth. We cannot say thank you enough for all the seniors have done for us. (Ana Kastenhuber has coordinated the vendors for the Harvest Festival for the past few years.) Additionally, a big thanks to Janice (J.J.) Johnson who prepared and provided lasagna. I • ENFIIIA FOLD DISPRIBVI'ION located at 182 Enfield Main Rd.

Winter Curbside Recycling Tips During the winter months, Tompkins County recyclers are reminded to avoid damage to recycling bins from snow plows by carefully setting recycling bins back a reasonable distance from the curb, or off the shoulder of the road. To avoid a missed collection, every effort should also be made to make recycling bins visible, and easily accessible, to the recycling truck driver. In inclement or windy weather, recvclers are advised to place newsprint in a brown paper bag on top of other recyclabies. This preparation practice will both protect paper from getting wet and prevent lightweight recyclables, such as plastic jugs or • newspaper, from blowing away because they are weighed down. Any resident that is currently having problems with curbside pick-up of recyclables is encouraged to immediately call the Tompkins County Solid Waste Management Division at 273-6632 or 273-5700 to rectify the problem. • Auction '94 Donations Business Name Agway Address Elmira Rd Donation Pruning Shears Applegate Tree Farm 348 S.
