Councilperson Wilcox, after watching the broadcast of the televised meeting, stated that it appears the County Legislators definitely want to increase the tax cap. Everybody is allowed to raise the cap to whatever they want by a supermajority. This was not the governor's intention when he put this 2% cap in place. Ms. Pryor stated that the County is still considering two scenarios, one that raises the County levy by 2% and another by 5.4 %. The State is still putting out regulations as to how the County could interpret the tax cap. At this point the maximum that will be allowed is a four to five percent tax levy increase. Supervisor Pinney stated the county residents are being taxed out of their homes. When the County Assessment Department raises assessments, they do not take into account that all taxes are increased for property owners whose assessments go up. This includes school taxes, town taxes and maybe village taxes. A combination of theses taxes continually go higher than the inflation costs go up. As you look at the numbers you presented tonight, the County is already committed to raising taxes above what the caps are. Supervisor Pinney stated that the caps should be the highest goal and the taxes should actually be lower than the cap. Ms. Pryor reviewed the costs of mandates, mandated responsibilities, discretionary and other fixed costs. Ms. Pryor stated that the tax cap simply shifts the tax burden from the state to the counties. Councilperson Wilcox stated that whenever these groups don't get funding from the County, they then come to the Town Board and ask for funding. When funding isn't available from the Town and the groups are turned down, then the Town Board is the bad guy. She encourages Ms. Pryor and the County Legislator to take a good look at the budget this year. Supervisor Pinney stated that the County does have a way to reduce spending on mandates by looking for efficiencies. Ms. Pryor stated that the Legislature is considering sharing staff between departments and using cross training and job cuts. They have reduced the county workforce by 7% over the last two years and expect a major reduction this year. The county sold their license to provide home health services and reduced the workforce by 14 people. The income from the sale will be put against the tax levy. Supervisor Pinney noted that the Legislature barely turned down a $100,000 project on Ellis Hollow Road to change the color of the shoulders. He hopes the Legislator continues to turn down projects like this when the infrastructure is falling apart. 0 Ms. Pryor stated that the Legislator will have a lot of pressure to vote in favor of going over the tax cap. She stated she is not going to vote to pay for things that they are not required to pay for. If she is convinced that the Legislature has done everything they can, and are not able to pay for the mandates that they are required to pay for, then she would have to consider going over the tax cap. Fred Schwarz — 823 Auburn Road: Mr. Schwarz stated that he is concerned with the fracking issue. In the Ithaca Journal he read that other municipalities are dealing with the issue, but he has not seen anything in regard to the Town of Lansing. He understands a committee will be formed in September to study this issue. He is willing to help the committee as he has a background in chemistry. He is familiar with fracking issues and special permits in New York State. Supervisor Pinney stated that Councilperson Miller is on the committee and will contact him with meeting dates. He appreciates Mr. Schwarz volunteering to help the committee. Dave Heck —16 Ladoga Park: Mr. Heck commended Jack French and the Highway Department for the mowing job they have done this summer. When other agencies have not mowed, our Highway Department has mowed twice. The gateway to the park before the July 3rd fireworks and before Harbor Fest was very noticeable and mowed way beyond the shoulders. He also noted the work that was done on Salmon Creek Road and the ditch work on Brown Hill Road. Dan Veaner — Lansing Star: Mr. Veaner sent word from Karen Veaner, Lansing Community Council, that over 3,000 people attended the Lansing Harbor Fest on Saturday. Presentation of the Town Center Incentive Zone P. Heather Filiberto, from the Tompkins County Area Development and Andy Sciarabba, Chairman of the Lansing Economic Development Committee gave an update of the Town Center Incentive Zone. The Town Center Committee has developed a plan and vision for a new Town Center. The Economic Development Committee worked with Ms. Filiberto to provide a policy that would provide incentives to promote development within the zone. The proposal promotes industrial, retail, commercial and multi- family rental housing development. The kinds of incentives that could be provided through the IDA include a property tax abatement which would be a 10 year abatement starting at 100% of the increase in property taxes as a result of development, it is just on the improvements. Incentives would also include a sales tax abatement on construction materials, furniture, fixtures and equipment. The New York State portion of the mortgage recording tax would also be abated. The process starts when a developer submits a pre - application to the Town. The Town Board decides whether or not the project meets the Town's planning goals. The Town Board then passes the application to the IDA with their endorsement. At that stage the developer submits a full application to the IDA, which then holds a public hearing, and then votes on whether or not to extend the incentives. It will take about 60 days for a developer to get a ruling from the IDA. The Economic Development Committee set goals for the projects that will make application more likely to be accepted. Some examples are the creation of quality rental . housing that meets the needs of the community, or the type of projects that increase the assessed value and generate property taxes for the Town. 5 179 180 Andy Sciarabba stated that it allows us to present projects to the Town Board that need incentives. It is not automatic that you will say yes or no. Once the Town is satisfied that this is a deserving project, then they make a recommendation to the IDA. This will provide services to the community that the Town doesn't currently have. Supervisor Pinney thanked both Ms. Filiberto and Mr. Sciarabba stating that this is a great plan and a huge benefit to the Town of Lansing for years to come. Supervisor Pinney discussed the possibility of rezoning and removing the MS4, Stormwater, out of this area to help this incentive zone. Counsel, Guy Krogh recommended doing an EIS, a shovel ready certification to help the developers. Dan Veaner asked Ms. Filiberto if the IDA has endorsed the plan? Ms. Filiberto stated that the Town Board drafted an endorsement and sent it to the IDA. The IDA is very positive about it and has asked her to take it back to the Town for public comment and that is what she is doing tonight. The IDA will take the information Ms. Filiberto brings back to them and give the plan final approval. Dan Veaner asked Supervisor Pinney where the Town is in the process of purchasing the land for the Town Center? Supervisor Pinney stated that State required a second appraisal, which was completed about two months ago. Three weeks ago he spoke with the State Official who is handling the sale and was told that he would get to it when he could. The money was budgeted this year to pay for it. The formality to have the second appraisal is done and everything looks good at this point. Ms. Filiberto stated that this is a policy that you will be able to use very widely to promote development and lower the cost of development in the concentrated area.

All costs of installation will be paid for by the Developer pursuant to the Town's Stormwater Local Law, NYSDEC GP- 0010 -001, and the Developer's SWPPP.
