LANSING COMMUNITY LIBRARY REPORT – AMI STALLONE
No report this month.
TOMPKINS COUNTY REPRESENTATIVE – MIKE SIGLER
Reviewed the following with the Town Board and the report was available as a handout.
Tompkins County Legislator
Michael Sigler
June 21, 2017
Hello and thank you for having me in again. There’s a lot of news coming out of the
county this month.
Tompkins County will purchase the Tompkins Trust Company building on the Ithaca
Commons to house the History Center, along with other non-profits co-located at a
heritage education center.
It was a unanimous vote. The goal is to have the building ready for History Center in
January 2019. The county gave approval to spend up to $2 million ($400,000 below
market value) on the purchase and another $900,000 on improvement. There will be a
campaign to fund the project privately with a goal of raising $450,000. I want to thank
our team and the Tompkins Trust Company team for making this happen. It took a lot of
patience, but I think it will be well worth it.
In the wake of President Trump’s announcement seeking to withdraw the United States
from the Paris Climate Change Agreement, the Legislature affirmed its support of United
States participation in fighting global climate change, and continued local action.
The vote reaffirmed the County’s commitment to taking action to reduce climate
pollution in line with its goal of reducing greenhouse gas emissions by at least 80% by
2050, and supports principles of the Paris Accords and participation of the U.S. as a party
to that agreement.
We also approved a new Local Law adopting a permitted exemption under New York
State Real Property Tax Law on infrastructure improvements made by a developer. The
law provides a three-year abatement of County tax on the increase in value due to
improvements made to public infrastructure (utilities and road), as long as the developer
retains ownership of the newly subdivided lots. This could have a significant impact for
Lansing as developers put in roads and infrastructure for their developments.
June 21, 2017

The Legislature went on record in support of proposed State legislation, advanced by
Senator Pam Helming and Assemblywoman Barbara Lifton in response to the County’s
initiative, which would revise the criteria for State Urban Development Corporation
transition funding for communities impacted by closure or diminished production of
electric generating facilities, such as the local coal-fired Cayuga Power Plant. I want to
thank Martha Robertson for pushing this issue with both the Senator and
Assemblywoman after I brought it up at meetings over the past six months with the
Senator and Assemblywoman. She asked I write the legislation on this and I got it to her
in time for her to submit the bill and move this for a vote by our county before the state
legislature ends its session. We are hoping this will pass before recess.
Also in power plant news, I support repowering the plant, no secret there. The Cayuga
Operating Company released a poll showing Tompkins residents have broad and firm
support across all demographic groups for the repowering of the coal plant to natural gas
and renewable energy sources.
Residents surveyed were asked for their reaction to the following statement: “The Cayuga
Operating Company is considering a plan to convert its power plant in Lansing from coal
to natural gas without a public subsidy and also build a large solar farm on the property.”
64% of voters are favorable to that idea, 21% are neutral, and just 11% have unfavorable
attitudes, according to the poll.
Jerry Goodenough, VP of Development at the plants says “We envision a site that
combines renewables, energy storage and repowering to natural gas and, ultimately,
becomes an energy park where local manufacturing and other energy-intensive
commercial operations would be located. We think Cayuga will be a model for how coal
plants can become an important part of the energy transition underway in New York and
the United States.”
The Legislature approved two funding proposals from Tompkins Cortland Community
College, approving a one-time discretionary supplemental appropriation of $83,200 from
the County’s Contingent Fund to implement a Service Management Modernization
Program during the coming academic year. The Legislature also supported the College’s
request to appropriate $100,000 of its surplus funds to replace lost tuition-based revenue
for the current academic year.
Also, the state cut $19,000 from Meals on Wheels. The program was able to bridge
$6,000 of that cut and the county voted to make up the other $12,000. With all the talk
about the federal government cutting this program, it’s a reminder that this funding
ultimately comes from the state.
Lastly, this month was declared LGBTQ+ Pride Month in Tompkins County and a gay
pride flag is now flying from the county flag pole.
Mike Sigler also reported the following:
Myers Park Road: The Lansing Highway Department did a great job on the road.
Crosswalk by Lansing Middle School: New York State installed crosswalk signs by the
school. Mike has contacted New York State about putting rumble strips in by the school.
East Shore Drive: Mike contacted New York State requesting that the road be fixed due
to deteriorating road conditions.
North Triphammer Road: The signs that display speed are currently temporary, but will
be replaced with permanent signs run by solar power.
Corner of Asbury and East Shore Drive: The County will back fill the one side they own,
where there is a drainage pipe.
June 21, 2017

Supervisor Edward LaVigne noted that East Shore Drive from Rogues Harbor will be
paved starting in July.
Supervisor Edward LaVigne also passed along a thank you to Mike from Cayuga Solar
for all his help.
Salt Mine: Mike attended a meeting at the Sailing Club in Ithaca and there are people
wanting the salt mine closed and no mining under the lake. Mike talked to several
employees at the salt mine and found out that a lot of the information given out at the
meeting at the Sailing Club was incorrect.

Town Counsel Guy Krogh noted this is a mandatory report on inspection and updates to

A resident expressed his concern that the Myers Road upgrade will change the flow of
water going down the hill.
Highway Superintendent Cricket Purcell noted there will be no extra water flow and with
the improved pipes and gravel it makes the earth more permeable.
Councilperson Katrina Binkewicz added that with the gravel around the pipes this will
allow trees to grow which will also absorb excess water.

RECREATION
The LBP and LSP spring baseball and softball season ended on Saturday
June 10th “Super Saturday”. Unlike most of the season, it did NOT rain
and we got it in with good weather.
Baseball and Softball equipment was turned-in after the June 10th games
and our coaches did a great job getting everything back to us in good
condition. Our volunteer coaches also did a great job coaching over 300
kids that were in the program this spring.
The summer Travel Season has just started for baseball and softball. We
have a lot of teams in action and all doing very well so far. We have three
10U teams, one 12U team, two 14U teams, one 16U team for baseball. We
have a very good 12U softball team and a 14U softball team. We have
nearly 120 youth players participating this summer with these teams.
The summer program recreation forms continue to come in here at a very
steady pace. Several of our programs are sold out. We have very diverse
program offerings this year, and all are getting participants. Several of
our programs start next week. Even though the school Pool is still down
for this summer, most of the other school facilities that we like to use are
available to us.
Late Summer and Fall Program flyers have just been completed and will
go into the schools this week, to ensure that all students get access to these
programs. I typically follow up by using the schools email listing to
promote these programs as well.
PARKS
Our Park crew has done a great job getting the parks ready and looking
good in the midst of what seems to be daily rain.
The swim area ropes were installed yesterday and our Health
Department inspection will be tomorrow. Pending that inspection and a
good water test, we will open the swim area on Monday June 26th
The Lansing Community Council Fireworks show is approaching (July
1). The band for this event is Tailor Made. The Lansing Varsity Football

RESOLUTION ISSUING NEGATIVE DECLARATION UNDER SEQRA
AND ADOPTING LOCAL LAW #6 OF 2017, AMENDING AND RESTATING
SECTION 1210 OF THE LAND USE ORDINANCE TO UPDATE THE SITE
DEVELOPMENT PLAN AND ZONING REGULATIONS FOR PDA #1, THE
VILLAGE CIRCLE-VILLAGE SOLARS PLANNED DEVELOPMENT AREA
The following Resolution was duly presented for consideration by the Town Board:
WHEREAS, proposed local law #6 is a zoning change for PDA Zone #1, codified as §
1210 of the Town’s Land Use Ordinance, as based upon updated project needs, a desire
to increase passive solar radiation, and replace older buildings within the zone, all as
more fully delineated in the application under review by both the Town and Planning
Boards; and
WHEREAS, the Planning Board, Town Board, and Planning Department have been
reviewing this matter since March, 2017, including the formal application submitted on
April 9, 2017, and the Planning Board has, pursuant to planned development area
(“PDA”) regulations set forth in the Town’s Land Use Ordinance, classified the proposed
amendments and reviewed the same in light of the exiting site plans, PDA plat, and
project development statue, and upon June 12, 2017, issued an approval with only two
recommendations: to have the Town Board consider more clearly stating conditions
relative to one of the three additional potential parking lots referenced in amendment #2;
and to consider adjusting conditions relating to the adjusted timing for construction of the
Community Center, and such adjustments have been made and classified as minor and
non-material updates as they effected no regulatory or development plan changes and
only amended existing controls and prior approvals; and
WHEREAS, input was also had from the Highway Department and the Department of
Parks and Recreation relative to the updated development plan and the proposed
consolidated and updated local law, particularly as relates to roadways, pathways, trails,
community facilities, and the timing of build-out plans for the same and the Community
Center, and such input was and remains reflected in the draft local law as previously
delivered in draft to the Town and Planning Boards at the end of May and again upon
June 9, 2017; and
WHEREAS, a County § 239 referral was made and an answer received upon April 28,
2017, whereby the County indicated that there were no anticipated negative inter -
community or county-wide impacts occurring relative to the amended PDA site plans and
plat, and the County was again contacted relative to this local law and advised that the
matter had been reviewed and, as long as no material changes were to be made, the § 239
review reply already received in relation to this matter stood for the local law
implementing the updated PDA development plan as well; and
WHEREAS, SEQRA environmental review of potential environmental impacts was
undertaken on the record and findings duly made and a negative declaration issued as
declared below; and
WHEREAS, a public hearing was duly held upon at the Lansing Town Hall, 29 Auburn
Road, Lansing, New York, being in the Town of Lansing, on the 21st day of June 2017,
at 6:35 pm, and all testimony and evidence presented thereat, if any, was duly considered;
and
WHEREAS, after due deliberation thereupon, the Town Board of the Town of Lansing
has hereby resolved as follows:
1. This declaration is made in accord with Article 8 of the New York State
Environmental Conservation Law and SEQRA regulations promulgated thereunder, and
accordingly, the Town Board of the Town of Lansing, based upon: (i) its thorough review
of the SEAF, and any and all other documents prepared and submitted with respect to this
proposed action and its environmental review; (ii) its thorough review of the potential

relevant areas of environmental concern to determine if the proposed action may have
any moderate or significant adverse impact on the environment, including, but not limited
to, the criteria identified in 6 NYCRR § 617.7(c); and (iii) its completion of the SEAF,
including the findings noted therein (if any, and which findings are incorporated herein as
if set forth at length), and after consideration of the potential environmental impacts,
including those reviewed in accord with 6 NYCRR § 617.7(c), the Town Board finds that
the proposed action of approving the proposed local law will neither individually nor
cumulatively have any moderate or significant negative environmental consequences or
impacts hereby makes a negative determination of environmental significance (“Negative
Declaration”) in accordance with SEQRA for the above referenced proposed action, and
determines that an Environmental Impact Statement is therefore not required.
2. A responsible officer of the Town Board of the Town of Lansing is hereby
authorized and directed to complete and sign the determination of significance,
confirming the foregoing Negative Declaration, which fully completed and signed SEAF
and determination of significance shall be incorporated by reference herein.
3. Local Law Number 6 of 2017 be and hereby is approved and adopted in the form
as presented to this meeting, and in such form “be it so enacted.”

adoption of this Local Law, the Town Clerk shall file a certified copy of this Local Law,
together with the required certifications, if any, as follows: (i) in the Office of the Town
Clerk; and (ii) with the New York State Secretary of State as required by Municipal
Home Rule Law §27 (said filing may be made by delivery to the NYS Department of
State, Division of Corporations, State Records and Uniform Commercial Code, One
Commerce Plaza, 99 Washington Avenue, Albany, New York 12231).
The question of the adoption of such proposed Resolution was duly motioned by
Councilperson Katrina Binkewicz, duly seconded by Councilperson Andra Benson, and

Article and this § 1610, including for the obtaining of building permits (or certificates of
compliance or occupancy) earlier than would otherwise be authorized hereunder, by
applying for such a waiver to the Town Board. If such a waiver is granted, the Town
Board may impose such reasonable conditions upon the waiver as it may deem
appropriate. The Town Board may, but is not required to, approve any such waiver if the
Town Board finds that:
a. The plans for the water or sewer lines and appurtenances have been approved
by all applicable agencies and are or have been built and duly dedicated, together
with necessary access and other easements, and that the SWPPP and stormwater
requirements have been adequately addressed.
b. There would be a substantial hardship to one or more individuals to delay
construction or certificate issuance absent such waiver, and such hardship was not
self-created.
c. There is proof provided to the Town that there is adequate financial support
available to the Developer to complete the work, such proof being in the form of a
dedicated escrow account, performance bond, letter of credit, or other proof
satisfactory and acceptable to the Town as based upon the recommendations of the
Town Engineer and the Attorney for the Town.
d. Such waiver is the minimum variation from the requirements of this Article or
§ 1610 as would remediate or lessen such found hardship.

RESOLUTION APPROVING AND AUTHORIZING THE EXECUTION OF
UPDATED MEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTANDING FOR SEWER CAPACITY
AND TRANSPORTATION STUDIES FOR EXPANDED TREATMENT
CAPACITY IN THE TOWN OF LANSING
Supervisor Edward LaVigne stated the new agreement is based on 33,050 gallons per
day. He noted the Memorandum of Understanding is a shared service for the Town of
Lansing, Village of Lansing, and Village of Cayuga Heights. Supervisor Edward
LaVigne reported this is set up for three parcels (The Rink, English Village, and Cayuga
Farms) and if they are under capacity the sewer service can be expanded to other
properties. He stated the Flowmeters will be upgraded to measure the actual usage of
flow into the pipes, not just the water consumption.
Mike Long reported the 33,050 gals per day is set up for the three parcels – a first phase
in the evaluation of the Village of Cayuga Heights system.
June 21, 2017

Supervisor Edward LaVigne reported the developers will pay for the pipe and
infrastructure.
Mike Long noted the Memorandum of Understanding Agreement is just the first step for
the Town of Lansing, Village of Lansing, and Village of Cayuga Heights. He stated step
two will be the design to figure out how big the pipes should be and the cost.
Supervisor Edward LaVigne reported this is just the Memorandum of Understating; it’s
not a contract. He noted there will be a Public Hearing later. Supervisor Edward
LaVigne stated this is a revised Memorandum of Understanding which is no longer based
on units, it is based on gallons. He noted the Village of Cayuga Heights is now driving
this.
Councilperson Katrina Binkewicz read aloud the Memorandum of Understanding.
RESOLUTION 17-95
RESOLUTION APPROVING AND AUTHORIZING THE EXECUTION
OF UPDATED MEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTANDING FOR SEWER
CAPACITY AND TRANSPORTATION STUDIES FOR EXPANDED
TREATMENT CAPACITY IN THE TOWN OF LANSING
The following Resolution was duly presented for consideration by the Town Board:
WHEREAS, the Town is party to an “Intermunicipal Wastewater Transportation and
Treatment Agreement,” by and between the Town of Lansing (including on behalf of its
sewer districts) and the Villages of Lansing and Cayuga Heights, dated March 8, 2010
(the “Agreement”), and such Agreement governs the terms and conditions of sewer
transportation and treatment services for the Town of Lansing and its sewer districts,
including effluent rules and inspection protocols; and
WHEREAS, while such Agreement was initially designed to cover the Cherry Road
Sewer District and the Warren Road Sewer District Extension, the capacity parameters
have had to be updated periodically given the needs and demands of the Town, especially
as the Warren Road area expands and grows, and a longer-term look at capacity and
transportation issues was deemed needed, all with an eye towards expanding service
capabilities, as duly envisioned in such Agreement at Paragraph 4, and verifying the
infrastructure needs and capacities of existing systems, as well as developing upgrades as
needed to handle continued growth and demand in the Northeast part of the county; and
WHEREAS, the parties have examined the feasibility of expanded district and general
services in the Town of Lansing, including as pertains to particular lots and projects in
the Warren Road and Triphammer Road corridors, and have determined that a base
memorandum was the proper first step to take to help outline the feasibility and
engineering issues that will need to be addressed and undertaken to assure services and
the transportation and treatment capacities of all systems, from Town residents already
connected, to flow capacities in the Village of Lansing, to treatment capacities at the
Village of Cayuga Heights plant; and
WHEREAS, the Memorandum of Understanding (“MOU”) is geared towards feasibility
and costs studies and does not itself authorize or permit the creation of any infrastructure
or new sewer districts or service areas such that it is a Type II Action under SEQRA, and
such MOU was previously authorized by the Town but has since been amended by the
Village of Cayuga Heights and needs to be re-signed; and
WHEREAS, after due consideration and deliberation thereupon, the Town Board of the
Town of Lansing has hereby
RESOLVED, that the Supervisor be and hereby is authorized to execute the amended
MOU by, for, on behalf of, and in the name of the Town of Lansing and its sewer
districts; and it is further
June 21, 2017
23
RESOLVED, that the Supervisor be and hereby is authorized to make, negotiate, and
execute amendments and changes to such MOU, as well as any further amended or
updated MOU, upon such terms as shall be determined to be in the best interests of the
Town relative to beginning the feasibility studies proposed by such MOU.
The question of the adoption of such proposed Resolution was duly motioned by
Councilperson Katrina Binkewicz, duly seconded by Councilperson Doug Dake, and put
to a roll call vote with the following results:
Councilperson Andra Benson – Aye Councilperson Katrina Binkewicz – Aye

BOARD MEMBER REPORTS
Andra Benson
Library: Andra reported the Officer’s for the Board of Trustees Officer have changed.
She stated Emily Franco did a great job as President for the Board of Trustees and Liz
Miller and Ami Stallone are now sharing the responsibilities of this position. Andra
reported that this past Saturday was the kickoff for the summer reading program; we have
more participants in Lansing than any other Town in Tompkins County.
Youth Services: Andra reported that with the school year coming to an end the Youth
Services programs are winding down, but there are some summer programs available in
coordination with the Parks and Recreation Department.
Doug Dake
Water and Sewer Advisory Board: Doug reported that previous discussions of the sewer
districts along with Dave Herrick’s report gives a good indication of what has been going
on.
New Water District: Councilperson Katrina Binkewicz asked Cricket if the highway
department is doing the installation of the Drake Road and Buck Road water districts
extension and how will this impact other highway jobs.
Highway Superintendent Cricket Purcell stated he makes it work and everyone works
harder to complete their jobs.

Katrina Binkewicz
TCCOG: Katrina reported with the summer coming she is able to go back to attending
TCCOG meetings and she would like to allocate another person to be there in the fall.
TOWN COUNSEL REPORT
Guy Krogh
New York State Water Tax Bills: Guy reported New York State is long overdue on
paying the tax bills (mostly Consolidated Water District charges) at the Finger Lakes
Residential Center and New York State Division of Youth. He stated they owe the Town
about $72,000 in past due bills, which the County paid, but might be charged back to the
consolidated water district.
Supervisor Edward LaVigne reported this will be discussed at the next meeting.
BOARD MEMBER REPORTS
Edward LaVigne
Supervisor Edward LaVigne thanked Doug Dake for his tremendous input for the roof
project, the recreation building, and the water and sewer.
MOVE MEETING TO WORK SESSION MEETING
Meeting moved to the Work Session at 8:10 p.m.
WORK SESSION MEETING ITEMS OF DISCUSSION
Myers Road Storm Drain: There was discussion on the need for this project and its
timeline to be moved up given stormwater drainage down the hill, ditch erosion, and the
need to protect the highway, as well as in anticipation of the bridge detour. Thus, the
matter was moved up in priority, the job was added to the § 284 list of highway work
approved, and the Town Board decided to transfer $46,000 from the A to the DB fund to
cover this project. Recoupment of such funds should occur as the timing will allow
inclusion of the project in CHIPS program funding.
Two Electronic Signs to Communicate Speed on Vehicles: The discussion surrounded
the purchase of two programmable, mobile, digital signs that have data collection. These
are general highway and safety tools long needed, they can be moved to different roads as
needed, will be needed for the bridge closure detours, and costing estimates show a cost
of $4,800 each, including from bid lists. The Highway Supervisor was authorized to
proceed to purchase 2 signs, in an amount not to exceed $10,000 and funds will be
appropriated from the A Fund for such purchase.
Recreation Department Storage at Highway Campus: The discussion included the
construction and specifications for a 40 x 60 cold storage pole barn-type building, with
pass through vehicle doors for storage, minor electric service, and a 6” reinforced
concrete floor. The cost is not expected to exceed $50,000 for materials and construction
as it is a cold storage-type building. The size of the building is sufficient to meet storage
needs for at least 10 years, the building can easily be re-purposed, and Dave Herrick is
working on the siting survey for the July meeting.
Repeal Ordinance #4 of 1966 (Ordinance to Regulate and License the Hawking and
Peddling of Goods, Wares and Merchandise and Soliciting Orders): This was previously
reviewed and discussed in 2016. To replace this ordinance requires a lot of details and
many exceptions, which will make it very difficult to administer. Many other Towns do
not have a local law for this; they refer inquires to the Tompkins County Sheriff’s Office.
The decision was made to repeal this ordinance; a local law is needed to repeal the old
ordinance.
June 21, 2017
27
Proposed Capital Reserve Fund for Trails and Real Property Acquisitions: The
discussion was to start the fund with $10,000 and have a goal of $150,000. There will be
additional discussion in July when the draft resolution is updated to meet the past two
work session discussions concerning the parameters for such fund and its updated
purposes.
Myers Park Capital Improvement Plan: Michael Long reviewed the Myers Park Master
Plan Map which included preliminary numbers. The Highway Department could do the
work for less cost to the Town and to meet any matching funds requirements mandated
by grant applications or awards. There is a Water Front Revitalization Grant available for
up to $500,000 with a 25% match for the Town and the Town portion could be labor in
kind or materials. The Town Board agreed to have Michael Long work on applying for a
grant and to generally approve the plan, subject to striking the walking bridge connecting
Myers and Salt Point. Final considerations and discussions will occur next month as
everyone digs deeper into the map and improvement plans.
