Motion passed unanimously
Presentation on Brownfields – NYSDEC Karen Cahill (Attachment #1)
Mr. Engman introduced Ms. Cahill stating that she is the project director for the three main
brownfields in Ithaca, namely Emerson, Axiohm (South Hill Business Campus) and THERM
Ms. Cahill reviewed the history, processes and outcomes of the three sites.
Board Questions
Mr. DePaolo thanked Ms. Cahill and asked her about statements from the Emerson consultant
that there are areas of concerns that were not tested and he asked if they would be. Ms. Cahill
asked for additional information and Mr. DePaolo responded that he was handed some
paperwork by a Mr. Hang and maybe she would be able to interpret them better than he. He
gave them to her and she knew what they were. (Attachment #2) He Ms Cahill responded that
all the areas have been investigated and there are recorded decisions on file and the results
published. There are lots and lots of reports and the information is available to the public and the
board but not something she could quote right now without researching.
Mr. DePaolo asked about the fire water reservoir and questioned why the South Hill School was
not even shown on the map, even though some pollutants associated with Emerson and NCR had
been detected there,and Ms. Cahill stated that the reservoir and the school were tested very, very
TB 06-25-2012
Page 4 of 20
extensively and no mitigation or remediation was needed at the school. They did not single out
and state the name of the school in many of the reports to avoid misunderstandings and stigma
that may be attached to it.
Mr. Horwitz asked about her comment that offsite areas were not Emersons responsibility and
Ms. Cahill explained that there are voluntary and involuntary aspects to brownfield
determinations. He asked if it was her opinion that the contamination was still spreading and she
stated it was not. She added that if contamination is found in Therm groundwater the
investigation will be widened. Many houses were tested and many mitigated even though they
did not meet the minimum level. Emerson did that on their own.
Ms. Hunter asked about the state versus federal contamination tipping points and Ms. Cahill
responded that it is not a simple answer because New York State uses a matrix approach so there
is no one number.
Persons to be heard
Walter Hang
Mr. Hang went over his handout and felt strongly that the Emerson site has never been cleaned
properly in the 26 years or so since the issue started. He contends that the mitigations done so
far were done at the wrong level in the ground and therefore are incomplete and inadequate. He
went on to say that the contamination is migrating downhill and the consultants did not check the
areas of concern he has indicated in his handout and he urged the Board to require more
extensive testing and cleanup.
Pine Tree Road
Herb presented some of the information as he understood it because there has been the
assumption that if there is a project with just the walkway there will be enough money but that is
no the case; he read off money allocations/estimates from the original grant. Cornell had said
they would put up to $200K for the entire project and when approached, said they would not
contribute that amount for just the walkway portion. Their ususal practice is to match what the
municipalities put in which would be another $35K and that would not meet the costs at all and
the federal monies would go away because the walkway alone is not what they approved/funded.
In reality, the town and county gets 1.5 million in construction projects that he felt would have to
be down the road eventually and just because there is some money in the pot for the walkway,
that money may not be there if the bridge and road work are not done.
Christa Bissell
Ms. Bissell reiterated what she had written to the Board, maintaining that it was initially a grant
for beautification and was presented as a bike and pedestrian path. She and her neighbors are
concerned about increased traffic, speed, safety and quality of life on their end of Pine Tree
Road.
George Conneman
TB 06-25-2012
Page 5 of 20
Mr. Conneman stated that “the county and Mr. Lampman must be lying then because they say
there is money there for the bike ways and paths.” He felt that replacing the bridge is crazy and
the cleaning of the sides could easily be done to help with safety of bicyclists. He repeated the
rumor that Cornell wants a new, prettier bridge to serve as the entrance to Cornell’s East Village
plans and what we really need is a traffic study that uses our real traffic not some simulated one
based on standard traffic given our population.
Inaudible
A gentleman added that there are two problems with the current design because it requires that
pedestrians or bikers coming from the south have to cross the street. If one wants to connect
East Hill and the Plaza and Cornell there is a possibility to put some section on the east side.
The other option is to simply clean up to expand the area; if it is a safety issue, just clean it which
will widen the area available to cyclists. (Clerk could not hear/understand much of his
comments at the meeting or on the audio. Unfortunately the gentleman had a strong accent and
pulled away from the microphone often)
Mr. Engman added that one of the main reasons for the cost increase is the wish to make the
paths and walkways handicap accessible and 8’ wide.
Discuss and Consider Resolution in Support of Tompkins County’s Grant Application for
Additional Funding for Pine Tree Road Multi Modal Project
Draft resolution was moved by Bill Goodman, seconded by Pat Leary for discussion.
Mr. DePaolo started the discussion by saying that the Town committed to the design phase and
he is not sure that is done or finished and having seen the design, he is not satisfied. He was not
aware that there already were 5’shoulders and he was told that 5’ is safe for bimodal access. He
went on to say that he had and interesting conversation with Fernando DeAragon from the
County who said that the state funding doesn’t exist, and that the federal money comes from
enhancement money which can only be used outside the white lines. That does include the
bridge, but it is not clear to either him or Fernando if the money would disappear if the scope of
the project changed. There has been no exploration of options and associated funds for changes.
Mr. DePaolo did not understand why we are spending so much money to fix the bridge when it
doesn’t need it and when we could accomplish the stated goal, which is to improve multi-modal
transportation, without altering the bridge. In his opinion, the only unknown at this point is if we
were to try and advance a proposal under the condition that a project was designed with the
current bridge in place, whether Cornell would make either their land or their money unavailable.
It was not clear to him what they would do, but he felt that we have committed a small amount of
money to this project to determine it would take shape and if it is not taking shape, and if it is not
taking shape in such a way that does not honor the commitment that we made in the 2007
Transportation Study, which was to cyclists and pedestrian safety and access and to minimizing
dependence on automobiles, it should not be supported. The project seems to focus on
automobile traffic and to make it easier for heavier and larger traffic and he felt we could
accomplish our goal without it.
TB 06-25-2012
Page 6 of 20
Mr. Horwitz expressed his opposition. He stated that Mr. Lampman told him the bridge was
being replaced because distance between current bridge abutments was narrower than the width
of the road and that posed a danger for bicyclists. Mr. Horwitz felt that was a totally inadequate
justification for spending $370,000 of public funds. As evidence, Mr. Horwitz stated that Waite
Ave in the city is used by many bicyclists to go to and from the Cornell campus and it has a curb
to curb distance more than 8 feet narrower than the current distance between the bridge
abatements under discussion. He stated that he has bicycled on Waite Ave many times and has
never had any problems and has never heard of any bicycle problems there or any calls to widen
the street. He asserted that that in his opinion, there are many very pressing needs for funds, and
legislators have a responsibility and duty to ensure that state and federal money is not spent on
such unimportant projects.
Ms. Leary stated that she was on the Transportation Committee that drew up the report and she
did not feel that the commitment to multi-modal transportation rules out vehicle traffic.
Mr. Engman stated that he bikes, runs and walks many time under that bridge and he gets a
feeling of danger because although you may have a total of 5’, when you are on a bike you need
a foot from the abutment or your pedal may bump and your body is 2’ wide and then what do
you do when a truck comes by with those large protruding mirrors. He stated that when ever he
is on a road, he is always scanning for where to bail in the case of someone not paying attention
and you do not have that option under this bridge. He felt it really was a dangerous place and we
should be doing everything we can. He added that someone stated that there are some bikers
who will stay in the middle of the street but there are others that simply do not want to ride on
the street and they want off-road options and the way this project is designed, it would give it to
them.
He went on to say that questions were brought up about costs and in the original proposal in
2010 the costs were: bridge replacement $370K path to the north $53K, the path to the south
$86K, Pine Tree Road work itself $205K, stormwater treatment $20K, landscaping $40K, utility
locations not determined, flag people etc. $38K, right-of-way costs not determined, survey $12K,
contingency $115K and planning and design $100K. That totals $1million. It was not for any
one item and the costs have escalated since 2010 due to inflation and the ROW costs have come
in, the realignment of the bridge and costs to improve pedestrian path design and reduced slopes
and improved paving material for easier maintenance. He asked Mr. Lampman to come up and
verify those costs.
John Lampman
, County Highway
Mr. Lampman recognized those numbers as costs reported at the second public meeting and they
have inflation added now. He added that their attempt with this grant is to address shortfalls in
the current grant and do the full scope of the original grant.
Mr. Lampman described some of the designs that have been looked at and rejected for one
reason or another such as running the paths further onto Cornell land and farther away from the
road but Cornell rejected that as well as the changing of the grade to make it ADA accessible
which adds quite a bit of cost.
TB 06-25-2012
Page 7 of 20
The state government is encouraging them to look at all option; for example if they did a rehab
proposal design which did not meet the ancillary benefit of the bridge reconfiguration which
included widening the underpass and raising the clearance, that might be a problem because
there have been accidents that may affect in the area that the state might consider. If we are
cutting back on the objectives of the project, there is the possibility that they would consider not
funding the project.
As far as Cornell, they have expressed that they would reconsider their commitment if it was
scaled down. He said it before that money is there to do the walkway and paths without the
bridge changes, but not if Cornell were to withdraw their funding commitment.
Ms. Leary noted that a bridge can last a 100 years and we should not consider transportation
needs that far in the future and raising the height of the bridge.
Mr. Goodman asked if it was correct that the bridge will allow dump trucks and other large
vehicles through but does not allow 18-wheeler types right now. Mr. Lampman stated that the
maximum height is 13.6’ but it is posted at 12.5’ and typical dump trucks and the like are at that
limit.
Mr. Goodman went on to say that in his mind, the action before the Board tonight is to support
the County trying to get the grant but we are not committing to anything. He did not feel
comfortable second guessing the county or the state and federal on judging what is worthy and
we might as well go after the funds instead of going to someone else. He felt there were great
benefits to this project for pedestrians and the Town by spending only $35K and traffic calming
measures could be looked at for the other end of Pine Tree Road. From the town’s perspective, it
is beneficial to many and this action is simply support for going for the funding.
Mr. DePaolo felt there was a flaw in that logic because he didn’t think we should be looking at
this as a package deal. He felt it would be implied through our support that we support the
current plan and although Mr. Goodman says we are just voting on going for the funds we are
implying that we support the plan and it takes away our ability to “force” the County to explore
other designs.
Ms. Hunter asked if this was a time sensitive issue because she was uncomfortable taking action
on items at a study session that the public may not be as aware of to come and voice opinions as
well as having not having seen the plans. She thought that there was a way to go over the bridge
rather than under the bridge and we are focusing on the safety of going under when there is an
option of improving access to go over the bridge.
nd
Mr. Lampman stated that there is a deadline of July 2 for the grant and the County Highway
Department has been instructed to look at the southern end of Pine Tree Road due to resident
concerns. He felt the department would have some recommendations within a couple of years to
address those concerns. He added that a trail over the bridge as well as under the bridge have
always been part of the project and funding request.
TB 06-25-2012
Page 8 of 20
Mr. Engman added that one of the very good outcomes of these discussions is the attention the
southern end has received and the need for some mitigations on that end.
He went on to say that he felt we all realize that that area is going to be developed both
residentially and commercially and this is our opportunity to get improvements for a very little
money. The design parameters can be expanded and we can get a great project that will work for
everybody. He also added that he wished Mr. Conneman had stayed to listen because he did not
feel anyone was lying, but with so many agencies involved in the discussion, it can be confusing
and one may not know what the other has said or done etc.
A roll call vote was held.

TB RESOLUTION NO. 2012- 127: Resolution Urging Amending the Constitution of the
United States with Respect to Corporate Personhood and Political Speech
WHEREAS, the founding documents of the United States, including the Constitution as adopted
and amended, refer to the people in enumerating the rights of citizens, and
TB 06-25-2012
Page 9 of 20
do not refer to corporations; and
WHEREAS, those rights, such as the right to bear arms, freedom of religion, and freedom of
assembly, could only have pertained to human beings; and
WHEREAS, corporations are artificial entities created by governments, and, as creatures of the
state, are subservient to their creators; and
WHEREAS, corporations do not vote in elections, that right having been reserved to citizens;
and
WHEREAS, free and fair elections, and the right of all people to speak and be heard, are bedrock
principles of a democratic form of government; and
WHEREAS, the U.S. Supreme Court, in its decision Citizens United v. the Federal Election
Commission, extended previous judicial interpretations of corporations as people and the
spending of money as speech, allowing unlimited corporate spending to influence elections and
public policy; and
WHEREAS, the democratic principle of one person, one vote, is incompatible with the concept
of monetary expenditure as speech, given that individuals and corporations possess unequal
ability to spend money to influence elections; now therefore be it
RESOLVED, that the Town Board of the Town of Ithaca urges the United States Congress to
call for an amendment to the United States Constitution to clearly and unambiguously state that
inalienable rights recognized under the Constitution belong to human beings only, not to legal
entities such as corporations or political action committees; and that money is not speech, and
thus regulating political campaign contributions, and political campaign spending, does not
abridge free speech, and thus would allow federal and state governments to limit the spending of
corporations and other limited-liability entities with respect to influencing the outcome of
political elections;
RESOLVED, further, that political parties, as defined under state constitutions and/or election
law, should continue to be allowed to raise and expend money for election purposes, as permitted
under the laws of the states;
RESOLVED, further, that a copy of this resolution be sent to the Move to Amend Ithaca
affiliate, Tompkins County Legislature, City of Ithaca, members of the state legislature and New
York congressional delegation representing districts in the Town of Ithaca, U.S. Senators Charles
Schumer and Kirsten Gillibrand, and the media.

Approve Supplement to the Agreement
Motion was moved and seconded for discussion.
Ms. Hunter spoke about her feeling that it was inappropriate to take action at a study session that the
public may not be aware of because they expect our meetings to be held on the first Monday
following the first Tuesday. She felt that when the board decided to hold study sessions, it was her
understanding that it was for committee reports and discussion items and not action items. She
understood that some action items might be added if there was a time issue, but felt this agenda has
far too many.
Discussion followed with board members recollecting that the study sessions were intended for
more non-action items but open to action items when needed. There was some discussion on not
distinguishing between the two meetings by calling them different names and holding them both in
the boardroom. It was noted that both meeting agendas are posted with information regarding the
items.

WHEREAS. Steams & Whaler, LLC (ENGINEER) and the Ithaca Area WWTP - SJC Owners (OWNER) entered
Into an Agreement dated September 7,2005 to evaluate Miscellaneous Plant Improvements: and
WHEREAS, except as expressly amended herein, all other provisions of the original contract dated September 7,
2005 remain In full force and effect.
NOW, THEREFORE. ENGINEER and OWNER agree to amend the Agreement as follows.
SCOPE OF SERVICES
Additional Services on the Septage Building Project due to the remediation delays and recent changes In scope to
add processing of food waste to the project. The additional costs Incurred are documented below, and many of
the costs are directly attributable to the remediation. We request that this amendment be processed between the
SJC Owners and GHD. and that the SJC Owners submit a claim to NYSEG for reimbursement of these costs.
1. Additional Services Due to Remediation Planning and Delay. The costs In this section should be
' \ reimbursable by NYSEG. Our design was complete and ready for bidding on April 20, 2010. The
plans had been checked by SJC staff by that date, and Mr. Daniel Ramer asked by email (attached)
that GHD make provisions for bidding. On April 21, 2010, Mr. Ramer sent an email which identified
that NYSEG wanted to Involve NYSDEC and determine if remediation was required.
a. Work which occurred after April 21. 2010 was due entirely to the delay and consisted of the
following items to date:
1) Supplying NYSEG, NYSDEC, and GEI with copies of the project drawings.
2) Attendance at four (4) meetings at the Ithaca Area WWTP where SJC, NYSEG.
NYSDEC. and GEI discussed how to proceed.
3) Modification of our previously complete foundation design to incorporate a shallow
foundation which would not Involve as much remediation as our original, deeper,
foundation. This item Involved geotechnical engineering design and drafting.
4) Development of site plan layout drawings showing the proposed building and the
proposed gas holder.
5) The total cost of these items to date is detailed on the attached Job Transaction Report,
dated April 27. 2012. and totals $13,683.18 through April 27, 2012.
b. Work which Is required now that NYSDEC has approved a remediation method is outlined
below. These items are required due to the delays and remediation strategy:
1) Preparation of this amendment.
( > 2) Verification of the design of the modified shallow foundation and changes to structural
drawings - to reflect the shallow foundation.

n
3) Modification of the previously prepared written specifications for the following items;
a) What Is Included in Contract 1 - General. Previously, the contractor had to
remove and dispose of the excavated soil. Now the contractor will need to
excavate the soil using people trained in working on a site with hazardous
materials, will have to decontaminate personnel and equipment on a daily basis,
will have to coordinate with NYSEG and GEI for the hauling of the soil, and will not
have to provide trucks or a site to haul the material to, since NYSEG will provide
that service directly. GHD will need to modify the contract portion of the
specifications to clearly describe this for the contractors. This will also involve
assisting the SJC Owners with the Memorandum of Understanding between
NYSEG and the SJC.
b) Modification of the Specifications for Structural Fill to be Used Under the
Foundation. Specifications for the lightweight aggregate must be developed by
GHD, sent to NYSDEC for approval, and added to the specifications.
c) Structural Evaluation. GHD must revise our previously completed structural
evaluation of the building foundation to include both geotechnical items and
seismic force analysis.
d) Codes Review. The 2-year delay may have resulted in regulatory changes which
could affect our previously completed design. We will need to perform brief
evaluations of the HVAC, electrical, and structural steel design packages to make
sure that our 2-year old design meets current codes. ,
e) Construction Phase Services. Our existing contract includes $30,000 in effort '
during the construction phase of the project to act as the Owner's representative.
The 2-year delay has resulted in labor cost increases of 3 percent each year, for a
total of 6.1 percent increase on the $30,000 fee, or $1,830.
4) The estimated cost of the work described in this section is $15,000.
2. Additional Services to Food Processing Equipment Addition. These costs should be bourne by
the SJC Owners and not by NYSEG.
a. Design of a Food Waste Receiving Station. We will add appropriate grinding and pumping
equipment to the existing design to accommodate the delivery of food waste from local
sources. The food waste system will reduce items such as paper plates, plastic silverware,
bones, plastic cups, plastic bags, napkins, and biodegradable plates to small particles which
can be pumped by the previously designed project components. This item includes the
modification of existing drawings to show the new equipment and the development of new
written specification sections. We propose to complete the work described for this item for a
lump sum fee of $16,000.
PAYMENTS TO ENGINEER
ENGINEER requests an amendment in the amount of $44,683.10 to cover the cost of the services described in
this proposal. This Is the total of the amounts described above. We believe that SJC should request that NYSEG
reimburse it for $28,683.18 of this total, because these costs were incurred only because of the delay. The
remaining $16,000 is attributable only to the addition of the food waste processing station.
