Community Involvement
ommunity attendance at the Town Board
meetings has been good Just a reminder,
the Enfield Town Board meetings are held
on the 2id Wednesdav of each month starting at 7_00
p.m. in the Communitv Building. Please join us!
Meetings of the Town Board
t the April 14" meeting a complaint and
petition were signed by 16 residents on
Shudaben Road and delivered to the Board
along with verbal requests to have property in the area
improved Another group of residents voiced their
concerns about noise problems near VanDom and
Gray Roads. Much discussion ensued regarding the
sharp increase in assessments imposed upon Enfield
residents this year. An Assessment Advisory Board
met May 19' to hear grievances. A total of 18
residents brought their grievances before the Advisory
Board.
At the May 12" meeting a comment was
presented about the establishment of the Planning
Board. Supervisor Fisher said he hoped to get the
Planning Board to meet the following week. The
Route 79 Bridge project has been pushed back to
2006 construction season due to budget crisis.
Replacing approximately 417 square feet of grates
and decking on the Hines Road bridge was agreed
upon, costing approximately $4,700. Concern was
also raised regarding the formation of a
Town/Highway Facility Committee to continue the
idea of building a new facility and what that would
entail.
At the June 9' meeting Property Maintenance
was again brought to the Board's attention,
implementation of new voting machines in 2006, Town
accounting software and the Recreation Partnership
budget cut backs were big topics.
Personnel Committee Report
On April 1, 2004 the Town completed and
submitted the necessary paperwork to the
Tompkins County Personnel Office to bring
the Town into compliance with the Civil Service Laws
of the State of New York. The County of Tompkins
Civil Service Administration became effective in 1966
and any municipality administering and overseeing
Town tax money must comply with these requirements.
Thus this requirement has been long overdue.
Over two years ago, the Enfield Town Board began
the process of developing a Town of Enfield Employee
Handbook in cooperation with AMTEK Management
Services Corp. located in Syracuse. This 80-page
Handbook has now been finalized and subsequently
adopted at the June Town Board meeting. Categories
covered include employee classifications, the civil
service system, operational, absence, compensation,
compliance, employee benefits and safety policies as
well as communication and dispute resolution
procedures. You name it, it is addressed!

Below are pictures of the new 2004 Mack
Dump Truck and the four full-time employees in the
department. These men have a total of 64 years with
the Town, Ron McFall has 28 years, Dave Miller has
17 years, Jim Dew has 15 years and Ray Poole has 4
years. During the winter months, the department
employs 3 part-timers and during the summer months,
employs 2 part -timers -
The Highway Department operates on a
budget of approximately $120,000 with some
reimbursement from CHIPS. Because of the Spring
rain fall, the crew is doing a lot of fixing -up of pot
holes, digging ditches, putting in driveway pipes,
mowing the roadsides and sweeping. Part of this
year's work schedule is improvements to Buck Hill
Road South and Shudaben Roads.
Jim Dew's son, Jayme will be graduating from
Trumansburg School this year and will be going into
the Armed Services. Jayme has not missed a day of
school since 5m grade. Both parents are very proud of
him.

Code Enforcement Department
News
The Code Enforcement Officers want Enfield
residents to be aware of the NYS Code about
swimming pools. Any pool from a small 18"
deep, 4' deep, above ground or in ground pool that can
hold up to 24" of water, that has metal walls or inflatable
walls and is 24" high, requires a secure fence 48" high
on or around it. If a ladder or gate is in the fence, it must
be able to be positioned to prevent access when not in
use. Enfield Code Enforcement Officers are required to
enforce the code concerning pools. NYSEG also has
regulations about where to locate pools - not below
electrical wires. We sometimes do not realize how
dangerous a pool can be until we have a tragedy. For
further information, contact either Ron Clark at 277-
0571 or Ed Hetherington at 275-3651 or e-mail them at
enfieldcodedent(&htva.net.

Recreation Partnership
he Recreation Partnership has entered its tenth
year with ten municipalities participating
(City of Ithaca, Village of Lansing, Towns of
Caroline, Danby, Dryden, Enfield, Groton, Ithaca,
Newfield, Ulysses and students who attend Trumansburg
Schools). The Ithaca Youth Bureau Recreation Division
is the program provider. The Tompkins County Youth
Bureau gives planning and financial coordination and the
contributions of the County and participating
municipalities help keep programs affordable and
accessible. Participating municipalities' youth can attend
various programs and activities at a substantially lesser
fee then residents of non-member municipalities. There
are a variety of activities available: Day Camps, Jr.
Olympics, Mairistreaniing, Sports Camp, Swimming,
Iroquois Program, Golf, Sailing, Tennis, Cheerleading
and Fall Sports activities. Most activities start in July
and all registrations are on a first -come first -served paid
basis. Contact the Ithaca Youth Bureau @ 273-8364 or
@ www.citvofithaca or¢ to obtain more information
The Recreation Partnership needs your help because of
cut backs in funding due to the very difficult budget
times that have fallen upon our towns, villages, city and
county. The Town of Enfield presently contributes
$6,500 to participate and possibly may have to
contribute another $1,300 to participate next year.
Enfield youth take advantage of this program. However.
it is the goal of the Partnership to maintain as many
programs as possible and to keep programs affordable.
Contact your municipal and county .;,r.�—Le. ::ves and
let them know what the program means to you and your
family. Volunteers are also needed.
