TOMPKINS COUNTY REPRESENTATIVE — MIKE SIGLER The following report was available as a handout. Tompkins County Legislator Michael Sigler March 22, 2017 March 22, 2017 Hello and thanks for having me in again. Tompkins Cortland Community College President Dr. Carl Haynes gave his final report to the Tompkins County Legislature and it was sobering. He said the College is addressing "brutal facts": declining State support for community colleges (with a per -FTE base aid just $22 higher than nine years ago); limited County Sponsor support; and enrollment decline (a nearly 12% decline in total enrollment and 30% decrease in core enrollment over the past five years, with the College experiencing its largest one-year decline this year.) Stressing the vital importance of retaining current students, President Haynes described four strategic priorities for the College, as were established in 2015: Redesigning the transition and first semester experience to increase the success for more students; providing ongoing support for high -need students; identifying key marketing strategies to strengthen the College experience in ways that will resonate with current and prospective students; and strengthening the collection, sharing, and use of meaningful information to guide planning and resource allocation. Among the many achievements noted are significant progress on the College's new Child Care Center, with $1.5 million for construction included in the State budget and an endowment campaign well underway, and involvement by Computer Graphics students in numerous community projects. The Legislature accepted a more than $600,000 shared -services grant. The grant funds will fund further extension of the Office's municipal records digitization and storage program, partnering with Cortland County and the Cortland County Towns of Harford and Virgil. The Legislature discussed, but ultimately did not approve, a member -filed resolution advanced by Legislator Dooley Kiefer, "in recognition of leadership by local governments in shared services initiatives and the loss of State aid over the past three decades." The measure would have expressed concern about the latest proposed government efficiency proposal and again state the view that unfunded mandates are the biggest contributor to local property taxes. While we all agree that it is a problem, I'm hoping to open doors with the Governor and not continue to close them. Last night, we allocated $287,000 for the Pine Tree Road intersection improvements at Ellis Hollow Road and the East Hill Plaza entrance in the Town of Ithaca. Federal reimbursement is expected for 90% of the total project cost, with an anticipated County funding contribution of $28,700. We also allocated $1,750 in Contingent funding to pay part of the cost of a water and sewer infrastructure study in the Town of Dryden, to match an identical contribution by the Town of Dryden. The study will help determine the potential for new housing development in the Town. I mention this because there is money at the county still in a pot for these kinds of studies if the Town of Lansing ever needs it. Last year, we put aside $30,000 to fund these kind of studies for more housing. Again, I want to thank Marcia Lynch, our public information officer, who makes this report possible.

Parks & Recreation Department Town Board Meeting 3/15/17 RECREATION • Spring can't be faraway because our LBP and LSP forms for baseball and softball went into the schools on Friday March 3rd. These registration forms are due in our office by March 24t". We usually average around 300 participants as a total for both programs. • We are really hoping for registration forms to come in sooner than later because so much depends upon the number of players, i.e. coaches needed, equipment prep, shirt and hat order, scheduling etc.. • Our coaches/team selection meetings are set. The LSP softball meeting is April 4 and the LBP baseball meeting is April 5. Practices will start by mid-April pending field conditions. • We have planned for our annual Spring Training Clinics over the schools spring break week. These are 2 -hour clinics conducted by the respective baseball and softball varsity coaches and players. • Rock Climbing Camp has been scheduled at Cornell over the spring break week. This has been a popular camp for many years. The climbing wall at Cornell is a great facility. • Registration forms for the Saturday Morning Spring Soccer program are ready to go. This program is very popular and is for players that are U6 and U8, and was March 22, 2017 run by Adam Heck. We will carry on with Benji Parkes, Eric Stickel and Jason Ouellette. This program will not compete with our traditional spring sport offerings. • Still no pool at the high school, so we have not been able to offer our Saturday Morning Swim Lessons this year. In addition, no Open Swim for adults. The pool will not be available this summer again and hope to have it available by end of August. PARKS • The boat slip lottery took place on Feb. 9, and boat owners have been placed and notified. We do have a waiting list, and have taken several calls from people looking for dock spaces. • 1 reported last month that we built another Kayak rack and it has sold out. So, we built another rack and that one is almost sold out. We actually turn a slight profit (this year) on the new racks including the cost of materials and construction. • The Dry Dock area is only about half filled at this point. It will sell out when the weather warms! • Our "In Park Manager" Ray, will NOT be returning. He was great for us last summer. The job has been posted. This position is important to keep our very busy park running smoothly. • The support posts for the new dock located in the swim area have been driven. This will be a nice addition to our waterfront, and is being built by our Highway crew. Supervisor Edward LaVigne reported the Bi -Centennial meeting was being held tonight in the back office of the Recreation Department. HIGHWAY SUPERINTENDENT REPORT — CHARLIE "CRICKET" PURCELL Cricket reported the following: Snow Storm Stella: The storm was not out of the ordinary for the Highway Department. The cost for the equipment, labor and materials was about $61,000; total for three days. Winds: The high winds a couple weeks ago caused problems with the cover all building. They are waiting to hear from the insurance company. Warren Road Sewer: One pump is broken and the second pump is in very bad shape. They have a rental pump there now which is basically working for both pumps. The pumps need to be larger to take care of the capacity. The cost to the sewer district will be about $19,000 for two new pumps. There is only one supplier in NYS. There is a sewer budget, but this amount of money is beyond the budget. This is an emergency situation and there is only a single source supplier, so the Highway Superintendent can make the decision to purchase the new pumps. Town Counsel Guy Krogh, will check to see if any paperwork is needed for the purchase of new pumps, but Cricket has the "go ahead". A budget mod maybe all that is needed. Dred2ina: All set with the Army Corps (good through 2022) and the DEC (good through 2019). The creek is too high now, so this will take place later - usually between January and March 15tH Dock at Mvers Park: This is near completion. Il March 22, 2017 Town Barn Generator: The generator is up and running. It's run once a week. PLANNING CONSULTANT REPORT — MICHAEL LONG Mike reported the following: Training: Next week some people on the Planning Board and ZBA will be attending training in Saratoga. NYSEG: The Town has received an application for a tower next to the substation. Village Solar: They are looking at an amendment to their overall plan; replacing the old buildings with new structures. Beautification Grant: Thanks to Katrina Binkewicz for her work on getting the $2,000 grant which will be used for plants and trees at Myers Park. Thanks to Debbie Munson for getting the last minute motion in the meeting tonight. Councilperson Katrina Binkewicz asked about a bus stop for Village Solar. Mike reported he was not sure about this. Supervisor Edward LaVigne said he would check on the bus stop. ENGINEER'S REPORT — DAVE HERRICK The following report was available as a handout. Water System Planning and Maintenance a.

Most farmers were receptive to having a new water district on Buck Road, but they don't want it to take farm land away. This will be discussed more next month and Dave Herrick will be there to answer questions. Mike Long and Connie will meet with the sub -committee on March 23, 2017 to discuss the Agriculture Land Ordinance and the maps. The sub -committee has done a great job of reviewing the ordinance. Several committee members attended the Ag Summit on March 8, 2017 in Dryden. There was a lot of discussion concerning solar. The lawyer that did the gas drilling leases spoke and he stated Renovus was the best company for solar. Most land owners are not in favor of taking big chunks of land for solar purposes. The AgStravaganza will be on The Commons this year on April 1, 2017. There was a nice article in the Tompkins Weekly publication last week about Just A Few Acres; Pete Larson's farm. COMPREHENSIVE PLAN UPDATE — CONNIE WILCOX Connie reported the following: The Planning Board keeps reviewing the same items and they need to move forward. They are concerned about the maps. Mike Long is working with the county to finish the maps. The Comprehensive Plan is a guide; not an ordinance or a law. It needs to get done in order to move forward with zoning updates. Supervisor Edward LaVigne stated the Comprehensive Plan drives our land use ordinance, etc. PRIVILEGE OF THE FLOOR - No one addressed the Town Board.
