PRESENTATION — NYSEG PROPERTY, Andy Zepp — Executive Director of the Finger Lakes Land Trust• Mr. Zepp stated that the Finger Lakes Land Trust is a Non Profit Organization that works cooperatively with landowners in local communities to protect lands that are deed significant. In the Town of Lansing, the land secured property includes the Howser farm, land on Salmon Creek and a conservation easement on Ross Road. Mr. Zepp handed out a copy of The Land Steward and reviewed the following on the NYSEG Property with the Town Board: PROPOSED ACQUISITION & MANAGEMENT OF BELL STATION SITE AS A PUBLIC CONSERVATION AREA Submitted to Town of Lansing By The Finger Lakes Land Trust November 2012 Located on the eastern shore of Cayuga Lake in North Lansing, the Bell Station site was once considered as the site for a nuclear power plant. The plant was never built and yet the property is still owned by New York State Electric & Gas. The property has long been recognized as a priority for conservationists due to the fact that it represents the single largest unprotected shoreline property remaining in the Finger Lakes Region. The parcel encompasses approximately 490 acres and includes 3,400 feet of pristine shoreline. The western half of the Bell Station property is forested with mature hardwoods and includes several ravines and waterfalls that punctuate a bluff overlooking the lake. The lakeshore is accessed by an old logging road that links with a foot path that runs the length of the property along the former railroad line that was abandoned north of Milliken Station. The eastern hall of the property extends to Lake Ridge Road and consists largely of open fields that are currently leased for agriculture. For public recreation, the Bell Station site has great potential for a variety of uses including hiking, wildlife watching, fishing, and hunting. In its existing state, the property already features the rare opportunity to walk along an extensive stretch of natural lakeshore — allowing the visitor to observe the occasional Bald Eagle and imagine what the Finger Lakes Region was like before it was settled. 338 Because of its extensive shoreline and forested bluffs along the lake, retention of the Bell Station site in its current condition will also help maintain Cayuga Lake's water quality. Development of similar sites elsewhere in the region have led to erosion and increased sedimentation and nutrient runoff into the lake. In recognition of its outstanding conservation values, as well as its potential for outdoor recreation and education, New York State has recognized the site as a priority project within its Open Space Conservation Plan — a public policy document that is based on input from public conservation agencies as well as volunteer Regional Advisory Committees. The NYS Department of Environmental Conservation has approved acquisition of the land as a public conservation area but has not yet appropriated funding for the acquisition nor negotiated a purchase agreement with NYSEG. The Finger Lakes Land Trust is advancing the acquisition of this land by the NYSDEC and future management of the site as a conservation area that would allow for multiple recreational uses and management of the site for long -term conservation of the site. As with other state lands, a management plan for the site would be developed based on input from the public and key stakeholders once this land was acquired by NYSDEC. �''� F t �ifi:i i T ! jai' 5,tp 115 � �1 5� N ,� ¢z�{v�g� +ISyTd i�• t TX Kyk A� x a � Ft az�t , 1 i LLLL 4, y i � ..J• e" t'. W a U U W a r a m O O W (A u'f i 7 e °u d 7 t W W U �f y v C7 L o th CL O 0 WP 2 Mr. Zepp stated that there is no timeline to endorse the idea. The State will not move forward without the Town Board taking the first step and asked them to consider passing the following resolution: Whereas, the so- called "Bell Station" property owned by New York State Electric & Gas in North Lansing represents the single largest undeveloped parcel of land remaining on Cayuga Lake, including 3,400 feet of undeveloped shoreline and almost 500 acres of fields and forest; and Whereas, this land has been recognized as a priority project within New York State's Open Space Plan and provides outstanding opportunities for outdoor recreation including, but not limited to hiking, kayaking, fishing, hunting, and wildlife watching; and Whereas, acquisition of this land for conservation purposes by the State of New York will also help maintain Cayuga Lake's water quality while also maintaining scenic vistas and the rural character of North Lansing; and Whereas, representatives of the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation (NYSDEC) have indicated the state's interest in acquiring the land in order to establish a publicly - accessible conservation area; and Now Therefore, Be It Resolved, that the Lansing Town Board endorses the acquisition of the Bell Station property by the NYSDEC provided that the State makes arrangements to provide for ongoing payments -in -lieu of taxes to both the Town of Lansing and the Lansing School District. In the event that the property is acquired by the state, the Town Board also expresses its interest in working closely with the NYSDEC as it develops a management plan for the site. Mr. Zepp also plans to contact Senator Michael Nozzolio asking for his support in locating funding to allow the DEC to purchase the land. After a brief question and answer period the Town Board thanked Mr. Zepp for his presentation and informed him they will review and consider the resolution. 2011 AUDIT REPORT — PAT .JORDAN: Mr. Pat Jordan, Independent Auditor of Ciaschi, Dietershagen, Little and Mickelson & Company, LLP, passed out draft copies, (for discussion only) of the fiscal audit financial report dated December 31, 2011 and briefly reviewed it with the Town Board members. Mr. Jordan made recommendations to the Town Board and discussed the options of a yearly audit in regards to credit rating and bond issues. The Town Board thanked Mr. Jordan for an excellent job. Later in the meeting the Town Board passed Resolution 12 -224 TOMPKINS COUNTY REPRESENTATIVE — PAT PRYOR. To: Lansing Town Board From: Pat Pryor, District 6 Representative, TC Legislature Re: Legislature report Date: November 2012 Ms. Pryor reviewed the 2013 County Budget 1. At its November 20`h meeting the County Legislature passed its 2013 budget by a vote of 14 -0 with one member absent. The adopted budget sets the tax levy increase at 3.69 %, exactly the tax cap for Tompkins County based on calculations approved by NY State. Since the increase needed to pay for state mandates is the same, 3.69 %, according to NYSAC, as the levy increase, essentially the entire increase will go to the state to pay for mandated programs. Spending on local programs was kept level, with k, 339 EN some increases and decreases for individual departments, agencies or programs balancing each other to support a maintenance of effort budget. The adopted budget increases the countywide average tax rate by 12 cents (1.87%) to $6.79 per thousand, an increase of $19.95 for the average $160,000 home. County property taxes on that average home stand at $1,087.15. NYSAC includes the following programs in its calculation of the cost of state mandates: Child welfare Indigent defense Medicaid Pensions Pre - Kindergarten and Early Intervention Probation Temporary Assistance Youth detention DSS planning and coordination (mandate administration) Without including revenue of $84,800,828 from other sources, such as Federal and State Aid, the county will raise revenue of $43,778,193 from property taxes, $35,443,776 from sales tax (plus other unallocated sources) and apply $1,242,736 from the fund balance to the local budget share of $80,342,374. Total expenditures for 2013 are budgeted at $165,143,202. The TC tax base as of October 2012 is $6,442,475,862. Fringe Benefits for 2013 are going down 2.09% along with the Salary and Wages by .02 %. These figures reflect the positions that have been cut over the past three years. Councilperson Edward LaVigne asked whether the County can fight back in regards to mandates and not take them. County Legislator Pat Pryor stated you can do anything but the State can force the County to comply. 2. Regarding the value of the Tourism industry in Tompkins County, the following is from a study done in 2009 by Chmura Economics & Analytics (CE &A) and with updated room tax figures by the county's Strategic Tourism Planning Board(STPB): -In 2009 TC attracted approximately 843,000 visitors that generated tourism spending of $156,000,000 (CE &A) . Room tax receipts alone generated the following (STPB): 2010 - $1,7831299 2012- (projected)- $2,036,716 2011 - $1,921,431 2013- (projected) - $2,138,552 Total estimated value of tourism in TC in 2013 is over $200,000,000. Councilperson Ruth Hopkins asked if the Town of Lansing receives a portion of the room tax. County Legislator Pat Pryor stated that the tax goes to the County but this is how the County Funds their Tourism Program. The County is able to provide grants and one recipient this year was the Lansing Harbor Fest. 2013 HEALTH INSURANCE PLAN: Supervisor Kathy Miller stated that this year the Town has been looking at different options for a more predictable and a better quality plan. Sharon Butler Bowman, Bookkeeper /Co- Budget Officer stated the Town Board has been very supportive through this process that started with the Department Head level meeting as a group to consider other health insurance options. She stated there is support from the Teamsters Union at the Highway Department and the Town Hall staff that are eligible for Health Insurance, asking the Town Board to please give serious consideration and put the Town employees in the Consortium Health Insurance group. 0 Councilperson Robert Cree asked when the deadline was. Mrs. Bowman stated yesterday, that the cancellation of the existing insurance and enrollment of the new program would need to occur as soon as possible. Mrs. Bowman provided the Town Board with spread sheets comparing the current HSA Health Insurance with the requested Tompkins County Health Insurance Consortium PPOT /3T10 plan. 341 Mrs. Bowman, on behalf of the employees asked Town Board to honor the request to join the Tompkins County Health Insurance Consortium. Supervisor Kathy Miller stated that it is the Consortium's intention to keep the rate increase below 10 percent. Future information will be received in time for budget meetings. Mrs. Bowman stated that the Town of Lansing will have representation on the Consortium Board. Mrs. Bowman stated she sees this as a long range plan for the Town of Lansing. Councilperson Ruth Hopkins stated that it is significant that the employees feel strongly about this and recognize it is a stronger health insurance package and are willing to contribute. Councilperson Edward LaVigne asked how long the Tompkins County Health Consortium has been in existence. Mrs. Bowman stated that this is the third year in January. Councilperson asked Mrs. Bowman if the employees were supportive and she stated they were. Councilperson Katrina Binkewicz stated that it is important that the Town have more control over health insurance rates. Mrs. Bowman thanked the Town Board for their consideration.
