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 July 19, 2017 Hello and thank you for inviting me to speak again. I want to thank Marcia Lynch whose reports I draw from liberally. The county released the final report from a six-month-long population study of the county jail. The Center for Governmental Research (CGR) conducted the criminal justice and jail population trend analysis. The Legislature started the process when NYS revealed its intent to revoke the Jail’s long-standing 18-bed variance (since then, temporarily reinstated.) The study report, entitled “An Assessment of the Future of the Tompkins County Jail,” is posted at CGR’s project website at www.cgr.org/TompkinsCrimJust/documents and will be presented tomorrow, Thursday 7/20 at 5 p.m. at the legislative chambers. As the core conclusion from its study, CGR states: “There is no convincing rationale for building a new jail, or for expanding the number of beds in the existing one. Indeed the opposite is true: significant reductions in jail population are highly likely by 2020 and beyond, based both on Tompkins County population projections over the next 25 years and bed days that can be saved as a result of more effective use and expansion of selected ATI [alternatives-to-incarceration] programs and community-based initiatives.” The CGR report, in part, recommends July 19, 2017 3  Not building a new jail or expanding the number of beds in the existing jail facility.  Within a year, beginning to implement inmate-reduction strategies—including expanding substance abuse assessments and access to residential rehab treatment; increasing the impact of Pre-Trial Release; expanding use of electronic monitoring and misdemeanor Drug Court; and supporting creation of non-jail medical detox capacity.  For the longer term, restructuring and refocusing existing re-entry programs to better meet intended goals; examining the pre-sentence investigation process and considering expanded use of Day Reporting and the Service Work Alternative Program as sentencing alternatives; potential expansion of the transitional housing initiative; and implementing Law Enforcement Alternative Diversion (LEAD).  Considering facilities changes to provide expanded inmate services (such as medical/nursing, on-site treatment, counseling, and links to post-jail services), relocating Sheriff’s Office functions to free up space for expanded inmate services; and beginning to plan for potential longer-term facilities solutions to accommodate such needs.  Criminal justice system initiatives such as presumption of non-financial release and encouraging more frequent use of ATIs by judges, orienting judicial officials concerning the array and value of ATIs available.  Inviting community member input regarding the report’s conclusions and recommendations, and actions that should be taken in response.  That the community continue to address systemic issues such as racism, affordable housing, transportation, employment, and poverty which, while beyond the scope of the study, impact directly on the jail population and overall quality of life. In other news the county endorsed the Tompkins County Housing Strategy, a wide- ranging plan to address the County’s housing needs through 2025. The County’s Department of Planning and Sustainability produced the strategy. It provides targets for housing units and their locations, approaches to achieve desired housing outcomes, and monitoring efforts that will be needed to track progress in meeting the county’s housing needs. Among the targets cited: Construction of 580 workforce housing units per year (including 200 new rental units per year and 380 new ownership units per year), for a total of 5,800 new units through 2025, many located in the county’s nodal Development Focus Areas. It also calls for construction of market-rate and subsidized Senior Housing units, and at least one Medicaid Assisted Living program facility; and for construction of supportive housing for those with special needs. You can review the full Tompkins County Housing Strategy document at www.tompkinscountyny.gov/files2/planning/housing_choices/documents/HousingStrateg y_Final_6-29-17.pdf The Legislature adopted a Local Law permitting the Legislature to override the tax levy limit for 2018. The law does not necessarily mean that the Legislature will override the cap, but provides the Legislature flexibility to exceed the cap if it is deemed necessary. I never vote for this. I never understand why we pass this in July when we could just pass it if it’s needed. The Legislature considered, but did not yet approve, a recommended name for the Tompkins Trust building on The Commons which will become the history center. It was recommended that the center be called the “Tompkins Center for History and Culture.” I admit it’s important to have a name, but this seemed really rushed and I thought some public input would be good. Tompkins County Administrator Joe Mareane today announced his plan to retire on February 1, 2018. Mareane has served in the Administrator’s position since October 2008, succeeding Stephen Whicher. July 19, 2017 4 Mareane will leave the County after a 37-year career in public service during which he served as the City of Syracuse’s Budget Director, Assessment Commissioner, and Development Director and later as Onondaga County’s Chief Fiscal Officer. He also held executive positions with the Greater Syracuse Chamber of Commerce and the Pyramid Companies. Thank you for having me. Mike noted that the new name “Tompkins Center for History and Culture” passed on July 18, 2017. Mike thanked Highway Superintendent Cricket Purcell and the road crew for doing a great job after the storms. Mike congratulated the Town Board on the passing of the MOU (Memorandum of Understanding). Supervisor Edward LaVigne stated that when he was given the option to vote for Governor mandated shared services for municipalities he voted no. He reported to save money New York State is currently working on installing LED lights. Supervisor Edward LaVigne noted that the goal is to decrease taxes to keep people in New York State. He stated that the MOU is a good way to share services and will increase the tax base. MOTION TO OPEN PUBLIC HEARING ON THE PROPOSED LOCAL LAW #7 OF 2017 – LOCAL LAW TO REPEAL ORDINANCE NUMBER 4 OF 1966 (ORDINANCE TO REGULATE AND LICENSE THE HAWKING AND PEDDLING OF GOODS, WARES AND MERCHANDISE AND SOLICITING ORDERS THEREFOR IN THE TOWN OF LANSING, NEW YORK) Councilperson Robert Cree moved to OPEN THE PUBLIC HEARING ON THE PROPOSED LOCAL LAW #7 OF 2017 – LOCAL LAW TO REPEAL ORDINANCE NUMBER 4 OF 1966 (ORDINANCE TO REGULATE AND LICENSE THE HAWKING AND PEDDLING OF GOODS, WARES AND MERCHANDISE AND SOLICITING ORDERS THEREFOR IN THE TOWN OF LANSING, NEW YORK) at 6:51 pm. Councilperson Katrina Binkewicz seconded the motion. All in Favor – 5 Opposed – 0 Supervisor Edward LaVigne noted that the need for this is already being met by the Tompkins County Sheriff’s Department. MOTION TO CLOSE PUBLIC HEARING All persons desiring to be heard, having been heard, Councilperson Robert Cree moved to CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING ON THE PROPOSED LOCAL LAW #7 OF 2017 – LOCAL LAW TO REPEAL ORDINANCE NUMBER 4 OF 1966 (ORDINANCE TO REGULATE AND LICENSE THE HAWKING AND PEDDLING OF GOODS, WARES AND MERCHANDISE AND SOLICITING ORDERS THEREFOR IN THE TOWN OF LANSING, NEW YORK) at 6:52 pm. Councilperson Andra Benson seconded the motion. All in Favor – 5 Opposed – 0 TOMPKINS COUNTY DIRECTOR OF ASSESSMENT – JAY FRANKLIN Jay reported the following: The County Finance Office brought the delinquent taxes to his attention about a month ago and New York State has delinquent taxes on Lansing properties dating back to 2004. The County is trying to collect $72,000 in back taxes for unpaid water bills from the two New York State correctional facilities in Lansing. The County can charge back the delinquent taxes to the Town of Lansing’s Consolidated Water District, but they want to July 19, 2017 5 collect it from New York State not the Town. Jay doesn’t think this will be charged back to the Town right away. Town Clerk Debbie Munson stated that there are two separate tax bills for the properties and one of the 2017 tax bills came back to the clerk’s office for an insufficient address. She noted that Bookkeeper Charmagne Rumgay helped out by contacting a few people regarding the tax bill address and New York State sent us a check for that one property and not the other. Town Counsel Guy Krogh noted that this has to do with Public Lands Law Section 19 and that New York State decided to reinterpret a statute that states certain charges cannot go through to a tax exempt entity, such as general operating taxes and general taxes. He stated that they can be charged for capital improvement costs relating to special districts and that New York State must be notified that the Town is doing a special benefit assessment. Town Counsel Guy Krogh stated that two and a half years ago the Comptroller’s Office wrote a letter stating that they don’t have record of receiving the Section 19 Land Law Notice from the Town, so they stopped paying. Shortly after that Guy was told by the County that this had been taken care of and to close the file. It was taken care of because the County paid it and it can be charged back to the Town of Lansing’s Consolidated Water District. Town Counsel Guy Krogh stated that our options are: 1. Contact New York State and get them to pay 2. Sue them 3. Find the old notice from the 1970’s 4. Turn off their water He suggests contacting them as this is the least expensive option. Town Counsel Guy Krogh stated that he will contact New York State and get back to Jay or Melanie at the Finance Office. Town Clerk Debbie Munson stated that the $72,000 includes thousands of dollars in accrued penalties and interest. Jay Franklin and Town Counsel Guy Krogh noted that New York State will not pay penalties and interest. Town Counsel Guy Krogh stated that there are two problems: 1. The past amount due. 2. Will they pay next year? PARKS AND RECREATION REPORT – STEVE COLT The following report was available as a handout. Parks & Recreation Department 7/19/17 Town Board Meeting RECREATION  Many of the summer programs listed in our program booklet have started. The office has been extremely busy with programs that will run through the end of August. Registrations still come in daily. As of today, we have collected $11,517.00 and this is just for summer recreation programming alone… This is a great number for us and again we are not offering any pool programming. In addition, the weather has NOT been good and that directly will affect our bottom line for both Recreation and Parks.  Our Summer Travel teams are doing very well…. when they play. I think on last count, our Babe Ruth team has five games to make up from rainouts. We have a lot of teams and players competing this summer and we are getting through it. I guess you could say we are all in the “same boat” with this summer’s weather.  Currently, we are taking registrations for late summer and fall programs. I anticipate another good turnout for our Youth Soccer Program. Our JR football July 19, 2017 6 team should have a solid player roster. Unfortunately, I think our SR team will be pushing it to field a team this year based on their projected number. This actually was somewhat predictable. The YFL league rule comes with a 15-player minimum, and in football, player positions must also be a part of that formula! We are also taking registrations for our YFL Cheerleading teams. These programs will start to practice by mid-August. Soccer will start in early September. PARKS  Our park crew is working hard to attempt to keep up with the weather and flooding. Several projects are running behind due to wet conditions.  The LCC fireworks event took place with a nice show that seemed to go back and forth between the show in Myers Park and the show at Taughannock Park across the lake on July 1st. The Lion’s Club annual BBQ was July 4th along with a Bicentennial event at the North Cabin. Louise Bement was very pleased with the turnout of people that stopped to see it.  Concerts have started and we are one-for-two, so far. We got the first date in on July 6 and got a great show that night. We were rained out on July 13 and hope to reschedule if possible. This Thursday is “Deans List” featuring our own John Dean.  Katrina has been helping in the Park and the Town Hall campus area with some technical tree pruning and trimming. This has been very helpful for our crew, and keeps our trees healthy and growing correctly. HIGHWAY SUPERINTENDENT REPORT – CHARLIE “CRICKET” PURCELL Cricket reported the following: Roads Road damage from the storms has been taken care of. The majority of damage was in the Ludlowville area and the work that needs to be done there will be added to the existing improvement plan for Ludlowville. Supervisor Edward LaVigne thanked Cricket and the road crew for their hard work. PLANNING CONSULTANT REPORT – MICHAEL LONG Mike reported the following: Site Plan approved for “No Barks About It” a doggie day care and grooming business located in the former Car Quest building. Engels three lot subdivision on Scofield Road has been approved. The Planning Board version of the Comprehensive Plan is complete and ready for Town Board review. ENGINEER’S REPORT – DAVE HERRICK No Report AGRICULTURE COMMITTEE REPORT – CONNIE WILCOX Connie reported the following: It has not been a great year so far for our farmers, weather wise they have had many challenges, but have managed to get work done between the storms. Just hoping for a little less violent weather for the next few months. Last year they were dealing with lack of rain, this year it doesn’t seem to stop, but they take it in stride. I am very proud of our farm community. July 19, 2017 7 On a more positive note: The Tompkins County Soil and Water Conservation District partnered with the New York State Department of Agriculture and Markets to deliver a grants program to support agricultural projects in the county. Southern Tier Agricultural Industry Enhancement Program is eligible for farm landowners to complete projects that increase farm production, advance on farm conservation/environmental goals, and enhance profitability. Projects needed to implement part(s) of a farm business or environmental plan. Farms needed to meet all eligibility requirements and participate in the Agricultural Environmental Management program. The Agricultural Environmental Management (AEM) program is a voluntary, incentive based program to help farmers make wise decisions on their farms that are cost effective, science based and environmentally responsible. Farmers work with their local Soil and Water Conservation Districts to develop comprehensive and progressive farm plans through a tiered process. Tier 1: Inventory the current activities of the farm, future plans and environmental concerns that may be present on the farm. Tier 2: Assessment of and prioritization of environmental concerns and documentation of current good land practices. Tier 3: Development of conservation plans to address the environmental concerns and opportunities present on the farm that are consistent with farm business planning. Tier 4: Implementation of plans with the assistance of outside financial, educational, and technical assistance. Tier 5: Re-evaluation and monitoring of existing practices to keep pace with changing farm goals, economic realities and environmental concerns. The Tompkins County Soil and Water Conservation District leads this program locally for the NYS Ag and Markets. As a watershed based planning effort this program is designed to protect the natural resources of Tompkins County and the State of NY on a farm-by-farm basis. The program is also voluntary, confidential, team oriented and science based making it a very productive program Funding is available to address a variety of projects: · $20,000 - $50,000: 90% state cost share rate (applicants provide 10% match) · $50,001 - $100,000: 75% state cost share rate (applicants provide 25% match) I am happy to announce that Peter Larson of Just a Few Acres Farm has received one of these grants for Construction of a Hay Storage Barn, others are a Honey Store and Honey Tasting Bar on Swamp College Rd in Trumansburg, and Maki Acres in Newfield. This was an intensive process and am very proud that Peter was able to get a grant. We will try to have a meeting in August before Fall Harvest starts. COMPREHENSIVE PLAN UPDATE – CONNIE WILCOX Connie reported the following: Joe Shepard along with Mike Long have been working diligently since getting the revisions from the Planning Board, and it is done. I am hoping that the Town Board will schedule a couple of informational meetings and then the Town Board can pass it. Once again I want to stress, it is not a Local Law, but a guide for the Town to move forward with Land Use Ordinance Updates and Revisions. We welcome written comments if anyone interested is not able to attend the informational sessions. Thank you for your due diligence and input on this. LANSING HOUSING AUTHORITY REPORT – CONNIE WILCOX Connie reported the following: Things are all well at Woodsedge. At this time there are no vacancies. The waiting list consists of 28 people for 1 bedroom apartments and 5 people for 2 bedroom apartments. New exterior doors have been installed. The mobile Food Pantry is working well for the July 19, 2017 8 residents. Again this year Cargill sent several employees to volunteer their time to work on the Resident’s gardens; they repaired the boxes for the raised beds and put in new soil and mulch. Many of the residents enjoy raising fresh vegetables for their use and to share. The last couple of years the number of gardeners’ has decreased, but as long as there is interest the Housing Authority Board will see they are provided with what they need. The Lansing Lions makes a donation for this project as well. Apartments will be updated when residents leave, which is part of the capital needs assessment done by Rural Development. This includes new cabinets, lighting, flooring and carpet. The majority of lights have been replaced with LED lighting which has significantly reduced electrical costs. Supervisor Edward LaVigne noted that Woodsedge is subsidized housing. LANSING FIRE DISTRICT REPORT– CONNIE WILCOX Connie reported the following: The District had planned to Renovate Lansing Station 3 to extend the bay to accommodate the larger trucks, however the bid came in about $100,000 over budget so that is on hold currently, and will be revisited at a later date. Security cameras have been installed at all four stations, both inside and out. There were some incidents that warranted the installation of cameras. The District will soon start working on the 2018 budget and it is anticipated there will be no tax increase and possibly because of their strong fiscal responsibility reserving funds for anticipated needs there may be a tax decrease again this year. PRIVILEGE OF THE FLOOR A resident addressed the Town Board requesting that the agenda and meeting packets be posted on the Town website more than 24 hours before the meeting. The resident requested that they be posted on the website a week before or at least 72 hours in advance of the Town Board Meeting to give the public a chance to review them. A resident addressed the Town Board regarding Hydrilla and their outreach program which is in its sixth year. The resident thanked Town Clerk Debbie Munson, Director of Parks and Recreation Steve Colt, and Councilperson Katrina Binkewicz for letting them display their Hydrilla information kit dispensers at the Town Hall, Myers Park, and Salt Point. The resident also thanked the Highway Superintendent Cricket Purcell and the Town for the improvements to Myers Road and the improved stone wall and widening of the shoulders.

The proposed improvements consist of approximately 5,815 linear feet of 8” ductile iron pipe and 100 linear feet of 6” ductile iron pipe mains, and all related lines, appurtenances, pipes, fillings, hydrants, tubing, taps, stops, retainer glands, assemblies, valves, wrappings, aggregates, topsoil, concrete and all materials and labor necessary for a capital improvement project to construct the CWDX4 water district improvement project and provide for the distribution, metering, and delivery of municipal water to CWDX4, including original furnishings, equipment, parts, machinery, appliances, appurtenances and incidental items and expenses therefor, including all costs and materials for the restoration of lawns, lands, and roadway surfaces and driveways. c. No land will be acquired for the project, but rights to use land and some easements or permits will be needed along the subject roadways for line, valve, and hydrant installations. d. The estimated cost of the proposed improvements is $640,000.00 which is the maximum amount proposed to be expended for labor, materials, and project expenses. e. The estimated cost of one-time hook-up fees is $5,300.00, consisting of: a SCLIWC (Bolton Point) 3/4” AMI Meter ($295.00); a Connection Fee ($250.00); an Inspection and Permit Fee (up to 5 visits) ($255.00); and a 1” Service line extension from curb box to home (cost will vary depending on length of service line and depth to bedrock, if encountered), with estimated average of 150 linear feet @ $30/lf ($4,500.00). f. On behalf of CWDX4 the Town will finance the project cost using rolling Bond Anticipation Notes (BANs) for a period of up to thirty-eight years, and at the anniversary date of each BAN the Town will review the long-term bond market and, if interest rates are favorable, convert the project to a long-term bond, all as set forth in the MPR at Appendix B, being an amortization schedule developed by the Town’s Fiscal Advisor, Municipal Solutions, Inc. BAN and bond interest rates are calculated at 1.7% for the first year’s expense, and such rate is projected to potentially increase to as much as 3.0% over the life of the debt. Principal and interest will be assessed upon each benefited property in CWDX4 based upon Equivalent Dwelling Unit (“EDU”) charges as set forth in the MPR at Appendix C. g. The average property in CWDX4 is a one- or two-family residential dwelling, and the first-year’s cost to an average property in the district consists of a first-year capital cost principal and interest payment of $797.00 plus water consumption costs for the water supply (and operation and maintenance charges from Bolton Point and the Town) at a combined rate $54.50 per quarter ($218.00 annually), all for a combined first year’s total of $1,015.00 3.

and WHEREAS, the updated Restoration and Protection Plan will help provide sustainable, long-term protection and management strategies for area streams, wetlands, creeks, and Cayuga Lake, particularly for the mid-north and mid-south segments of Cayuga Lake that are listed as threatened, and it will further help to identify current priorities and data gaps, and provide recommendations and resource-based assistance with Cayuga Lake management and protection issues, including enhanced funding opportunities for local and regional projects, including through the Southern Tier Regional Planning and Development Board and various revolving fund and water protection programs of NYS, NYSDOS, and the federal government; and WHEREAS, simultaneously with this project the Town had also been examining needed updates to the 2004 Local Waterfront Revitalization Plan, particularly in regards to facility updates and capital improvement projects for Myers Park and Salt Point, including facilities to protect Salmon Creek and to prevent further erosion and sedimentation from land areas in public use, including due to the periodic flooding along the creek and its adjacent shorelines;
