REPORTS OF TOWN OFFICIALS TOWN SUPERVISOR Pleasant Grove Speed Limit Through the cooperative el7fort of Cornell , the County and Assemblyman MacNeil , we have achieved the lowering of the speed limit on Pleasant Grove Road from 40 MPH to 30 MPH from Cayuga Heights south to Forest Home . This has taken over two years but perseverance has paid off and the children who live at Hasbrouck and Pleasant Grove apartments will be in a better situation with regard to crossing the street to go to nursery school , etc . This action is one of the steps to be taken to improve the traffic situation in Forest Home . The second step is the consideration of the ban on truck traffic through the hamlet - an item on the agenda tonight . We are in the process of setting up meetings with the police and public safety officials in Cayuga Heights and Cornell to assist us in enforcing these controls . Zoning and Building Code Enforcement We have stated , that one of our primary objectives is the development of follow through mechanisms to ensure that violations of our various codes are pursued through appropriate channels until corrected . X39 Town Board Minutes - 2 - February 11 , 1980 Through the efforts of Mr . Cartee and our Town Attorney , we have systems approach to the wide variety of possible situations . We have already seen considerable progress in cleaning up many of the occupancy violations in addition to correction of the chronic junk problems in several areas , as reported earlier . Town Newsletter 19 Census questionnaire will soon be mailed to residents through - out the Town . It is extremely critical to the Town that we have an accurate count for both apportionment of U . S . Representatives ® and revenue purposes . The County Planning Board will serve as the Census Complete Count Committee for the County . We should time our next Newsletter to alert Townspeople to the importance of filling out the questionnaires and offering assistance where necessary and further to make sure they receive the forms . Fire Contract Negotiations / Youth Services We are continuing to negotiate with the City through their Inter - governmental Relations Committee , the future fire contracts and youth services . On fire services , negotiations will include discussions with Ithaca College and Cornell on a mechanism for them to pay their fair share of the costs of the service . In the Youth Services , the cost / participant / program has now been worked out and future discussions will be held on the contract basis for assessing such costs . Town Historian The Town o Ithaca came into existence in April of 1821 . We have on record , minutes dating back to 1852 on file in our vault . We now find that the first book of minutes do exist and will be presented to the Town at an appropriate ceremony , as soon as an appropriate display arrangement can be created in conjunction with our renovation program . The door between the lobby and the Town Clerk ' s Office is scheduled to be closed off , and inside the closing in the wall , an appropriate glass display case can be constructed . We have been unable to get adequate response from our architect , so we will be seeking assistance on a per hour basis from other sources . The Town Engineer will be reporting on this in the near future , including plans to release for bidding the exterior repairs .

Clean up for the area is scheduled for the spring . Mr . Fabbroni stated that 1976 was the last time area photographs were taken of the Town of Ithaca and that they should be updated every four years to show the growth in the Town . The County is also planning on having photographs of the County taken after the snow melts and before the trees begin to leaf out . The Town Engineer noted that he would like the Town flown at 2000 feet , which would produce a one inch scale . Councilman Del Rosso suggested that the County be contacted and per - haps the Town and County might receive a lower price on a joint venture . Mr . Fabbroni felt a joint venture was not a good solution , as the County planned a higher flight plan which would not give the details required by the Town on their aerial photographs . RESOLUTION N0 , 21 Motion by Councilman Cramer ; seconded by Councilman McPeak , RESOLVED , that the Town Board authorizes that aerial photographs , at 2000 feet , be taken of the Town at a cost not to exceed $ 2 , 000 .

Aron reported that the Town of Ithaca Planning Board met in regular session on January 8 , 1980 , and January 22 , 1980 . The minutes of those meetings have been presented to the members of the Town Board after having been approved by the Planning Board . The Town of Ithaca Planning Board met in regular session on February 5 , 1980 , with all members present . The Planning Board minutes of January 8th and 22nd , 1980 , were approved . The minutes of November 6 , 1979 , as presented by the alternate secretary were considered , corrections made and will be re - typed by Mrs . Fuller for final consideration by the Planning ® Board at its next meeting . Reports were received from the Town Building Inspector and the Town Planner and a written report from Town Councilwoman Raffensperger , as Chairwoman of the County Planning Board , was reviewed and dis - cussed . You have received a copy of the Planning Board ' s Resolution in regard to the results of the discussion that followed Mrs . Raffensperger ' s report . Applications for Sign Permit were considered and approval by the Town Board recommended for : a . China Garden , Elmira Road . b . Sibley Corporation , East King Road . C . Wonderland Motel , Elmira Road . I believe the Town Board Agenda includes , in addition to the above , the application for sign permit from Wonderland Jr . Motel , Elmira Road , which was recommended by the Planning Board for approval on January 22 , 19800 It should be noted that the Planning Board recommendation for approval of the Sibley Corporation sign contains a time limit , and , the Wonderland Motel sign recommendation contains a size limitation . I believe you have received a copy of these resolutions . A major portion of the February 5 , 1980 , meeting of the Planning Board was spent in page by page review of the newly - typed Sign Ordinance revisions draft . The Planning Board is rapidly approaching the completion of its task in this regard . The Town Board may be interested to know that the Planning Board , at its February 5 , 1980 , meeting discussed the re - use of the Old County Hospital Facilities and made recommendations , the result of which are ® contained in the following report as prepared by Mrs . Restaino : " It was the Planning Board ' s opinion that public use of the old hospital be sought first , rather than use by the private ® sector . The high cost of renovation may preclude use for private apartments in any event . The Board was strongly opposed to moving any County Offices to that location , including Social Services , because of the hardship it might impose on people who did not have access to automobiles . Any relocation outside of the City of public records or administrative offices would be considered unacceptable . Relocation of the jail , however , might be considered in this new location because this facility desparately needs more space and would not require extensive visiting by the public . Multiple use of the old hospital should also be considered . A small facility for overnight stay by families of patients is a real need . Use by TO as a location for their nursing ( �3 Town Board Minutes - 6 - February 11 , 1980 and nutrition programs is another good use for recycling the facility . A nursing home or ambulatory facility for the elderly would also be compatible with the medical facilities located there . There is no reason why the old hospital can - not fulfill several local needs at once if its re - use is approached imaginatively . " The Town of Ithaca Planning Board meets next on February 19 , 1980 , with three Public Hearings scheduled , among other matters . The Public Hearings are : ( 1 ) Lagrand Chase , consideration of Pre - liminary Subdivision Approval , 6 lots backlot of Ridgecrest Road ; ( 2 ) Therm , Inc . , consideration of Site Plan Approval for additional building space ; ( 3 ) WVBR , consideration of request for installation of radio broadcasting antenna transmitting tower , 245 Bundy Road . Mr . Aron also stated that he would highly recommend that the Board members inspect the new Salt Storage Facility . The people who built the building did a real professional job . He further stated that the taxpayers saved a lot of money and received an excellent job . COUNTY REPRESENTATIVES Supervisor Desch read the following memo from Gust Freeman , as he is ill and unable to attend the meeting : The Transportation Bond Issue that passed the Legislature last fall , seventy five percent of this money is available to the Towns . The Town should apply through Bill Mobbs , the County Highway Superintendent . Social Services have saved $ 1 , 021 . per month , due directly to the hospital bus run . There are openings on the Environmental Management Council and one opening on the Hospital Board of Managers . He would appreciate the names of any persons the Board feels might be interested in applying for these positions . Beverly Livesay reported the Board of Representatives are reorganizing and the members are receiving new assignments . She also reported a Special Blue Ribbon Committee has been formed to decide the fate of the old hospital . Mrs . Livesay stated she would check on the County ' s plans for aerial photographs . She also noted that the Dog Control Contract was moving along quite well . FOOTE PROPERTY ACCESS The Town Board considered a resolution passed by the Planning Board granting Charles Foote access from Eastern Heights . Mr . Foote is asking for an access road of about three hundred feet by fifty feet . Mr . Foote owns fourteen acres in the Town of Ithaca and fourteen acres in the Town of Dryden . The Town Attorney , James Buyoucos stated he felt the matter should be referred to the Attorney before any further action is taken . Supervisor Desch suggested that the Town Board look at the property before any further action is taken . 1980 TANK PAINTING PROGRAM Lozier Architects / Engineers have completed the specifications for the Trumansburg Road , Northview Road and Troy Road Water Tank Painting .

( Cramer , Kugler , Del Rosso , Desch , Raffensperger , Valentino and McPeak voting Aye . Nays - none ) . PROPOSED POSITION STATEMENTS - ASSOCIATIO:d OF TOtniS 1980 .1EGISLATIVE PROGRAM ENERGY MANDATES : The cost of energy requires an ever increasing portion of both per- i sonal and municipal revenue . Energy decisions will help to determine whether new projects and their funding should be initiated or existing ones continued . The need to conserve and reduce fuel consumption is unquestioned . However , energy conservation measures must be fair , . taking into account the cost-benefit relationship . Mandated energy expenses must be shared by all , not solely by the real property taxpayer. The Association of Towns urges that any energy regulations which. are imposed , provide their costs be shared on a state level basis . RAILROAD EXEMPTION AID : The Railroad Ceiling Law was enacted in 1959 to assist rail- roads in achieving fair assessments on their transportation real property. State aid was provided where local assessments exceeded the ceiling (State Finance Law , § 54 -b ) . This state aid of some $ 12 , 000 , 000 was terminated by Chapter 393 of the Laws of 1978 , thereby creating a local . revenue gap , The Association of Towns recommends reinstate ment of the railroad ceiling state aid program . . ALTERNATIVE FOR LIABILITY AIND CASUALTY INSURANCE : The increased cost of town liabili ty and casualty insurance has caused some towns to , pnder-insure or not to insure at all . Some relief was provided in 1979 ' by the authorization of the establishment of liability and casualty insurance reserve funds . However , since the major portion of such insur� ance can be purchased only from private carriers , without consideration of experience rating , other means of providing municipal liability and casualty insurance must be explored . Insurance pooling and reciprocal arrangements in other states appear to offer savings , if permitted in this state . The Association of Towns recommends the enactment . of authority for voluntary pooling and reciprocal arrangements and other measures , taking into account the experience rating of the insured town , FISCAL NOTES : Many factors contribute to increased municipal budgets . Higher town budgets necessarily result in a greater burden upon the real property taxpayer . , While town officials are doing their utmost to keep the lid on . local outlays , they are often faced with state legislation mandating additional local expenditures . State legisla tion generally is not required to carry a fiscal note analysis showing its impact upon . local revenues , expenses and programs . The Association of Totms urges the enactment of legislation that will require a fiscal note analysis for legislative proposals that would have a significant or substantial impact upon municipal finances and programs _. HAZARDOUS WASTE DISPOSAL * . Inadequate standards for storage , transportation and. dispos - al arrangements of hazardous waste , have created serious . health problems . There is a need for a comprehensive policy and plan for location and operation of disposal sites , _ as well as for legal responsibility for injuries or damages resulting therefrom: _ Pro- ducers of hazardous waste must share in the expense of this problem . The criteria for location of sites must consider local land use plans . The Association of Towns recom- mends that clear and objective criteria be developed and applied for the location and operation of hazardous waste disposal sites , taking into account legal responsibility and local planning . FEES FOR ENVIROATMfENTAL CONSERVATION LA14 DUTIES : Town clerks are called upon to issue hunting , fishing and trapping licenses pursuant to the Environmental Conservation Law. As remuneration for such services , they receive only 25 � per license . The expense of administering this program has continued to increase over the last thirty years , but the reimbursement fee of 25 � has not been changed , Additionally , the amount of reim- bursement is reduced because other outlets are permitted to issue these licenses in competition with local clerks . The Association of Towns recommends that the fees for issuance of En-Con licenses by town clerks be increased to at least 354 , and that - pri- vate outlets be not permitted to issue such licenses . STATE AID : Strongly reiterating Resolution No . 1 of 19790 Town Board Minutes - 8 - February 11 , 1980 REQUEST FOR REFUND OF WATER AND SEWER BENEFIT ASSESSMENT Requests for refunds for one unit of water benefit assessment and one unit of sewer benefit assessment were received from Thomas and Barbara M .

Burton , 122 Haller Boulevard ( Tax Parcel No . 6 - 29 - 6 - 10 . 1 ) , due to ® the fact that the premises are now being used as a single dwelling unit by owner , AND FURTHER BE IT RESOLVED , that a refund in the amount of $ 52 . 00 for one unit of water benefit assessment and $ 50 . 00 for one unit of sewer benefit assessment totalling $ 102 . 00 , be made to Robert W . and Virginia C . Langhans , 111 Halcyon Hill Road ( Tax Parcel No . 66 - 3 - 19 ) , due to the fact that the premises are now being used as a single dwelling unit by owner .

Francese be removed from the Codes and Ordinances Committee , per his request . ( Cramer , Kugler , Del Rosso , Desch , Raffensperger , Valentino and McPeak voting Aye . Nays - none ) . RELOCATION OF ELECTION DISTRICT # 2 Supervisor Desch stated that in the past , the polling place for Election District # 2 has been held in the School Bus drivers lunch room at the Ithaca City School Districts facility on Bostwick Road . However , with the additional number of drivers , the facilities have become too crowded . District # 2 is quite sprawled out , and considerable time has been spent to find a suitable replacement . After careful consideration , the most suitable place is our own Highway Facility on Seven Mile Drive . The employees lunch room , which has an outside entrance , can be used . If this room should prove to be too small for a general election , then the repair bay could be used . RESOLUTION NO . 33 Motion by Supervisor Desch ; seconded by Councilman Cramer , RESOLVED , by the Town Board of the Town of Ithaca , that Election District # 2 , in the Town of Ithaca , be moved from the Ithaca City School District Bus Garage on the Bostwick Road to the Town of Ithaca Highway Facility on Seven Mile Drive , AND FURTHER BE IT RESOLVED , that this move be effective prior to the March 25 , 1980 Primary .
