PRIVILEGE OF THE FLOOR:
Dave Heck:
Town and County Tax Due Date•
He asked the Board to give Senior Citizen's more time to pay their Town and County
taxes without penalty. (section 925 (b) of the NYS Real Property Law) He stated that the Town of
Groton did this and he handed out a copy of the notice they put in the paper. They gave Groton
residents an extra five days if they were:
1. 65 or older
2. Must already have a Town and County Senior Exemption or an enhanced STAR
exemption.
3. This would only apply to their residence which had to be in the Town or Village of
Groton.
4. It applies to full payment only
Mr. Pinney informed Mr. Heck that he would look into this matter.
Point Uni
Mr. Pinney asked Mr. Tunison from Bolton Point to give an overview of the proposed
Union Agreement.
Mr. Tunison stated the following:
Of the commiss
major thing is the increase
that the Union proposed a
was suggested the raise be
2014.
ions 90
in the
12 cent
1.50%
employees, 11 were unionized in 2001. He stated that the
vages. He said a mediator finally had to be called in. He stated
increase per year for a 3 year contract. During the mediation it
for 2011, 1.75% for 2012 and 2% each year for 2013 and
He stated that it was not out of line according to what the projected cost of living increase would
be.
1
W
The negotiating team thought the agreement was very reasonable as the employees were good
workers and they were very supportive of them as they deserved this increase.
He stated that nothing was increased as far as benefits. The commission still pays 100 % of the
health insurance cost for its employees.
,Call in pay for a production employee was increased. This increase would cost approximately
$3,200.00 per year.
The longevity was increased by $ 20.00 per employee.
He asked the Board to consider all of the time and effort the commission's negotiating team has
put into the proposed agreement. He said it was very fair to the employees and to the
commission.
Mrs. Wilcox stated that she is the chairperson of the personnel committee at Bolton Point. She
stated that she knows there is a great deal of controversy over this amongst the people at the
Town of Lansing but felt there was a lot of time and effort put into the mediation of this contract
and it should be passed. She stated that she supports the contract and she will vote yes on it.
Mr. Pinney stated that is was a very tough situation for everybody. He stated that one of the
problems with government is all you see is the costs of everything going up, up and up. He
stated that the water rate went up 17% this year and it could go up again next year. He stated that
the pension costs are very expensive. He stated that from 2010 to 2011, Bolton Point's pension
increase was 69 %. He felt these fixed costs could keep going up for years to follow.
He stated that since he has been Supervisor, the Town Employees wages were increased in 2009
by 2 %, in 2010 by 2.5 % and in 2011 there was no increase. The average of the last 3 years of
Bolton Point employees has been almost 4% per year. He felt nothing could be done about these
costs if they were approved for four years.
Mr. Christopher stated that he did not see any real difficulty with most of the contract but that he
was adamantly opposed to the wage increases. He stated that he probably would not of disputed
any of this if we had given our employees something this year. The Town has held their tax
increase to bare minimum in the past few years based on the economy. He stated that the
increases are tied in no matter what the economy is in the next three years. He also felt the "on
call" matter was very confusing and felt that if you were "on call ", you wait until you have to
take a call and then you get paid for it. He did not feel this was necessary.
Mrs. Wilcox asked Mr. Tunison what the highest hourly rate was for any Bolton Point employee.
He stated that for 2011 the highest rate for hourly is $ 19.71 and that the lowest is $ 18.39.
Mrs. Miller stated that she does not agree with the commission paying 100% of the Health
Insurance. Mrs. Drake stated that she has performed surveys and did not feel they were that far
off from other water plants.
Mrs. Miller stated that this is a very generous contract. She would like to see the Health
Insurance addressed. She felt everyone should pay part of their health insurance. She stated that
everybody works hard and everybody wants to make a decent wage and have things comparable
She did not feel this was fair to everyone.
Mr. Danny Pace stated that was here to address the increase in the base quarterly rate for water.
It has gone up 24% since 2009. He stated that in the private sector, if he were to get the health
insurance policy public employees are getting, it would cost him and his wife $ 18,500.00 each.
Mr. Pace stated that when you negotiate a contract three and four years out, it puts the Town in a
real bind as you loose all flexibility. There should only be annual contracts which can be re-
evaluated each year. He felt health care should be a contributory program for an employee only,
not their dependents.
2
Mr. Tunison stated that the contract was very generous but employees are not making a lot of
money. The current and proposed contracts have clauses that state if the commission wishes to
require the employees to pay into the health insurance, all the commission has to do is inform the
union of the change and it could be changed. He stated that the reason the pension costs are
going up has nothing to do with the employees. It is going up because of what happen with the
economy and the stock market.
He asked the Board's support for the contract and stated that if it is not approved, he need
positive feed back to go back to the commission's negotiating team as far as exactly what the
Board wants to have renegotiated.
Mrs. Miller stated that we are blaming the wrong people and that everyone should go to Albany
in March to let our representatives know how we feel.
Mrs. Wilcox stated that the Commission is comprised of five different municipalities and the
contract will have to be approved by all of them to pass.
Mr. Nyberg stated that he doesn't mind paying his water bill. He stated that there is sorriething
wrong with our system when it comes to health insurance. It is not that we can't afford to pay
Bolton Point employees insurance; it is that we can't afford to pay everybody else's. In China,
India or Brazil, it cost about $100.00 a night if you have to stay in a hospital. In the United
States, it cost about $2,500.00 and that is where the problem is.
After much discussion, the following resolution was offered:

Trailways Committee:
The following report was handed out to the Board Members beforehand and Mr. Colt
went over it with all present.
February 16, 2011
Lansing Recreational Pathways Committee Report to the Town Board
Thank you Town Board members for your support of trail development efforts.
LRPC is pleased to report that the trail opening on January 22, 2011 was a huge success. Trail use has
been greater than we anticipated for a winter opening and the trail has become a popular community
recreational destination. The success can be measured by the many cars that are parked in the lot on a
daily basis and particularly on weekends. The neighbors living adjacent to the trail have reported
positive feelings about the trail use. We also hear from users that they really like having a trail close to
home.
This first phase of the trail has been for winter use. It has had a good snow cover for cross skiing and
snow shoeing. The parking area has been plowed by the town and has been adequate for winter use.
Thanks to the tremendous support from town officials (particularly Scott Pinney, Sharon Bowman, Steve
Colt and Jack French) and from community volunteers who have dedicated more than 500 hours of work
and donated many materials for developing the town trail, LRPC's recent accomplishments have
included:
® Marking 2.4 miles of trail pathways with blue blazed stakes
O Installing laminated signs for trailhead, parking and private property lines
® Developing trail brochure and maps
® Contacting trail neighbors, snowmobile users and local businesses
• Publicizing the new trail in local newspapers and on local radio programs
® Establishing a donation process and acknowledgement letter for trail support
As spring approaches we are in the midst of making plans to improve both the parking lot surface and
the trail surface. The area LRPC plans to work on is identified on the map as approximately 2.4 rniles. We
will focus on completing this length before adding the extension that will eventually cover the full
perimeter of the town land. The work will include clearing the area at the former railroad to allow for
walking on that surface.
In order to accomplish the completion of the trail surface:
(1) We have had discussions with Mr.Ray Sill to outline a shared use plan to accommodate his
farming operations, preserve safety for community trail users and assure the integrity of the
trail surface will remain intact. See summary of the February 26th discussion submitted to town
supervisor Scott Pinney.
(2) We have had discussions with Recreation Director Steve Colt regarding groups of people who
are interested in having an organized walk on the Town Trail. We will be referring those groups
to the recreation department for guidelines.
• Since this is a new town recreation space we have asked Steve Colt to begin including
LRPC activities in his monthly report at TB meetings.
(3) We met with Highway Superintendent Jack French earlier this week and will continue to consult
with him on the completion of the parking area surface and improvement and preservation of
the trail surface. We will need to know what type of equipment and materials the town can
provide. As always, we expect to supplement the town's help with volunteer workers and
donations.
® We suggest the town consider using the rental income from the farm lease towards
purchase of materials for the wet/ low areas on the trail which may be damaged by farm
equipment crossings or other activities.
(4) The following areas have been raised as issues that need further discussion and resolution by
the town officials.
® The area referred to as the "dump" may need to be signed or cordoned off. It may or may
not be considered a hazard by the town. LRPC believes that this is a town decision.
• The chemical's used by Mr. Sill in his farming practices may also need to be posted. These
may be a concern for animals and children. LRPC believes this is a town decision.
® We understand that the town land has been used by ATV's in the past. For safety and trail
preservation purposes, we have posted a sign that states no motorized vehicles are allowed
on the walking paths. Does the town want to take more action than that?
Respectfully Submitted,
Maureen Cowen, Chair LRPC
