Town Board Minutes - 2 - May 9 , 1*983 Coddington Road Community Center Supervisor Desch stated that he had been informally alerted that the Center may officially close its doors in the very near future .

The budget proposals are on a matching basis with the Town share slated at $ 10 , 000 .

Councilman Jennings stated that he had assumed it was rented and then asked if the railroad hump was going to be removed ? Supervisor Desch responded , yes but not right away . Removing it will be a big engineering problem . Probably dovetail the removal with the bikeway project . Not sure what the solution is . Councilman Jennings remarked that he had driven up Stone Quarry Road during a rain storm and noted that the water was running down the road because the shoulders were built up so high . Cable TV Committee ® Councilwoman Kiefer reported that the Cable Committee will have their first meeting May 10th at ll : 00 a . m . , and will meet again at noon on May 17th , Martin Sheridan , General Manager of ACC has taken the County model TV Franchise and added modifications and the new State rules .

He expected , within the next week , to receive a copy of the draft of their ® recommendations for the joint project. with the City and Town . Councilman Jennings went on to say that it seemed reasonable to expect that the Town would need to consider building and funding a fire station on South Hill . Special legislation will need to be passed to allow a joint fire district with the City . He stated that he would like to write a letter to each Board member explaining the criteria of building a station on South Hill , Councilman Jennings noted that youth employment will be handled by the Human Services instead of the Youth Bureau , Councilman Kugler stated that he noticed there was consideration to modernize the Tin Can , Councilman Jennings stated that he did not understand why the City does not use Marcles Flat .

PHASE I OF WATER & SEWER IMPROVEMENTS Supervisor Desch stated that at some future date , the Board should approve Stearns & Whelers report on water and sewer improvements . He went on to say that it seemed sensible to move forward and do the design in - house . The date of January 1st seemed feasible to both Larry and myself . Obviously , the cost to do the work in - house will be cheaper than letting it out to consultants , except for the need to purchase a Theodolite , which will allow two people to do the survey instead of three or more . Councilwoman Kiefer stated that in September , the Supervisor handed out a list of priorities . She asked the Supervisor which of the improvements on the May 1983 list were not on the September 1982 list . Town Board Minutes - 8 - May 9 , 1983 Supervisor Desch responded that he did not know . Councilwoman Raffensperger noted that the Bundy Road area was listed " C " before , now they have moved up on the list . Supervisor Desch responded that he had moved Bundy Road up the list because of the response from a petition being circulated for West Haven Road , Elm Street and Bundy Road . We should be able to extend the water line to Bundy Road in ® Phase II along with West Haven Road and Elm Street . He went on to say that the situation on Snyder Hill is quite similar to the problem with the main on West Hill , Councilman Kiefer stated that she thought the PRV on King . ,... Road had a higher priority than Bundy Road ? Supervisor Desch responded that there was enough money in the package and that he was confident both projects could be completed . We will put the figure in when we borrow the money . Councilwoman Kiefer asked how much will be saved by doing the work in - house ? Supervisor Desch responded , about 100 . Councilwoman Kiefer asked if Bolton Point employees would be involved in the project ? Supervisor Desch responded , minimal involvement in connection with the PRV on King Road and the Ridgecrest Tank , The Supervisor went on to say that the sewer project would be put together and bid all together . Councilwoman Raffensperger asked Supervisor Desch if he was looking for approval of the design or funding . She went on to remind the Supervisor that we the Glenside area , who have talked with us before . Supervisor Desch responded that the situation in Glenside is a little better . He stated that he was asking for authorization to commit the staff to continue with the design . i Councilwoman Kiefer asked how the Theodolite would be used ® in .- conjunction with the East Ithaca Transit , Supervisor Desch responded that the Theodolite is a modern day transit surveying instrument which electronically ® measures distance . Town Engineer Fabbroni also noted that it can also be used if any future development comes along . PURCHASE OF THEODOLITE Town Engineer Fabbroni stated that the current Girley Transit is a useful device , however , it is more kin to working with a junky calculator . The modern day transit Town Board Minutes - 9 - May 9 , 1983 will give a ranage of � 1 , 000 to 1 , 500 feet before you loose the numbers . With the bear bones staff we have , two people can operate the Theodolite . We expect to be able to do four times the amount of work with the Theodolite than with the Girley Transit . The staff has talked about a Theodolite for two years , however , we were waiting for an opportunity to justify the need for one . In the meantime , the prices have lowered because more people are producing them . It took three to four weeks to do the Coddington Road surveying , and it could have been completed in one week with the new ® surveying equipment . RESOLUTION N0 . _ 51 Motion by Councilman Cramer ; seconded by Councilman Kugler , WHEREAS , the Town Board has authorized the staff to proceed with the design of the Phase I Water and Sewer Improvements on an in - house basis , and WHEREAS , the Town Board recognizes the need to coordinate this work with the many other priorities already identified as parks , highways , other public works objectives for the current year , and WHEREAS , a substantial portion of the in - house design involves field work such as route alignment strip surveys , etc , and WHEREAS , there is extensive field survey work associated with the Burns Road realignment and the East Ithaca Connector , NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED , that the Town Board hereby authorizes the acquisition of a total station ( Theodolite With EDM , attached or unibody ) with minimum specifications as attached or equal at a cost not to exceed $ 8 , 400 to enable the staff to accurately and effeciently accomplish the field survey work on these projects with the folowing allocation of costs : a FRS Burns Road Project a FRS East Ithaca Circulation Project a Water Fund a Sewer Fund ( Desch , Kugler , Raffensperger , Cramer , McPeak , Kiefer and ® Jennings voting Aye . Nays - none ) . RESOLUTION NO , 52 Motion by Supervisor Desch ; seconded b Councilman lman Jennings , RESOLVED , that the Town Board of the Town of Ithaca hereby I authorizes the staff to proceed with the design work for Phase I of the Water and Sewer Improvements , including any necessary field work , and FURTHER BE IT RESOLVED , that the Town Board authorizes the design work on Phase I of the Water and Sewer Improvements with the understanding that there is no commitment to fund or construct the project .

Councilwoman Kiefer questioned Page 4 , number 29 of the Subdivision Regulations , asking if there will be a map showing rock depth ? ® Peter Lovi responded that there will be a list of the environmentally sensitive areas . ® Councilwoman Kiefer questioned if the listing would be included in Section 38 as well as Section 41 ? .
