REGULAR TOWN BOARD MEETING
FEBRUARY 10, 1992
At a Regular meeting of the Town Board of the Town of Ithaca,
Tompkins County, New York, held at the Town Hall , 126 East Seneca
Street, Ithaca, New York, there were:
PRESENT: Shirley Raffensperger, Supervisor
John Whitcomb, Councilman
Patricia Leary, Councilwoman
Frank Liguori, Councilman
Catherine Valentino, Councilwoman
Karl Niklas, Councilman
ALSO PRESENT: John Barney, Town Attorney
Scott McConnell, Highway Superintendent
Andrew Frost, Building Inspector/Zoning
Officer
Daniel Walker, Town Engineer
Floyd Forman, Town Planner
Linda Nobles, Assistant Budget Officer
Betty Poole , Deputy Town Clerk
EXCUSED: David Klein, Councilman
MEDIA PRESENT: Greg Williams, WHCU
OTHERS PRESENT: Deborah Dietrich, County Board of
Representatives
PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE
The Supervisor led the assemblage in the Pledge of Allegiance .
REPORT OF TOWN OFFICIALS
Town Supervisor ' s Report
Supervisor Raffensperger reported that the sales tax revenues
generated in Tompkins County in 1991 had decreased and affected
the amount received by the Town of Ithaca in February 1992 . For
the fourth period of 1991 the Town of Ithaca received, this
February, $284, 694 .00, less than any quarter in 1989, 1990, or
1991 . We are fortunate that with the staff ' s cooperation we
ended 1991 in better condition than could have been expected
considering the State Aid cuts. The possibility of continued
sales tax revenue decreases and possible state aid cuts do not
bode well for 1992 . The Governor' s budget proposes a 15% cut in
per capita aid and between 25% and 35% cut in the operations and
maintenance portion of CHIPS .
Town Board Minutes 2
February 10 , 1992
The Tompkins County Board of Representatives passed a resolution
authorizing a request to the State Legislature for a one cent
increase in the sales tax to be effective, she believes, in
December of 1992 . As she understands it, Tompkins County would
retain the first six months of all of the additional revenues
then would share 756 ( To be retained by the County) , and 256 (To
be dispersed to the local municipalities. ) The first additional
revenues to local municipalities then would be in 1993, perhaps
for only one quarter.
In March, representatives of the Tompkins County Reapportionment
Committee will make a presentation to the Town Board on three
plans, two of which combine a portion of the Northeast Town of
Ithaca with the Village of Lansing, similar to the present
situation. The third takes a bite out of the southern part of
the Town of Ithaca and combines it with Danby. She is much
opposed to that plan however the Town Board will have a chance to
review the three alternatives and comment on them to the
Committee in March.
Jim Kazda, Tompkins County Engineer, will present plans in March
to the Town Board for the replacement of the lower Forest Home
Bridge . The Forest Home Improvement Association will also be on
the agenda for that meeting. There has been a new twist in the
bridge ' s story concerning the pedestrian portion of the bridge
and will be reported by the Highway Superintendent, Scott
McConnell, later.
Town Engineer's Report
Town Engineer Dan Walker reported on various projects the Town is
involved with at present and administrative projects in the
works . (Copies of the report are available in 'the Town Clerk' s
Office )
Town Highway Superintendent' s Report
Town Highway Superintendent Scott McConnell recapped the past
month ' s work load with an emphasis on the snow and ice removal
and plowing and cindering. He also elaborated on the pedestrian
portion of the Forest Home Bridge . On February 3, the walkway
across the lower Forest Home Bridge was closed due to structural
failure of the supporting truss. This was discovered by Phil
Pierce of McFarland & Johnson of Binghamton while inspecting the
bridge to provide consultation to the Forest Home Association.
It was further verified and ordered closed by Jim Kazda of the
Tompkins County Engineering Department. (Copies of the
Superintendent ' s report are available in the Town Clerk' s
Office . )

CONSIDER LEGISLATIVE PROGRAM OF ASSOCIATION OF TOWNS FOR THE
STATE OF NEW YORK
Councilman Whitcomb requested guidance as to how the Board wished
him to vote on the various resolutions which will be voted on at
the Association of Towns Meeting in New York.
Supervisor Raffensperger noted that one thing that she did not
see on the agenda was authorizing towns to propose at local
option a utility tax of up to 1% as is presently allowed for
cities and villages of New York. She does not know if this topic
will come up again this year. The Town Board had supported that
item last year and considering we had supported it last year, it
is an option for us to consider. If it does come up, she would
like to see support from the Town of Ithaca.
Discussion followed on the floor regarding the various proposed
resolutions.

CONSIDER APPROVAL OF PROCUREMENT POLICY
Assistant Budget Officer Linda Nobles explained the proposed
procedure . She stated that the piece of legislation that
requires the Town to institute this policy is General Municipal
Law, Section 104 (b) , which in the past had bid limits of $5,000
for normal supplies, services and $7500 for public works
contracts. They now have increased the limits with the caveat
that we had to adopt a procurement policy of our own which
governs purchases of lesser amounts. The guidelines also state
that the municipality should review the procedure annually and
make any adjustments as necessary.
RESOLUTION #31
Motion by: Councilman Niklas Seconded by: Councilman

CONSIDER APPROVAL OF LEASE AGREEMENT WITH TOMPKINS COUNTY FOR
COURTROOM SPACE
Attorney Barney reviewed the lease agreement for this year. He
stated that the issue which delayed the agreement last year was
the indemnification issue . They have put in the contract the
typical indemnification language which does not seem to be fair
when we are using a facility that is basically multi-use
facility, which we are only using part of the time . They had
agreed with the rationale last year and modified the language .
This language which we see on the lease may have come from the
new risk manager for the County. He has written to Robert
Mulvey, Attorney for the County, and gotten a response on the
issue and both our insurance company and he had the same concerns
Town Board Minutes 3
February 10, 1992
Supervisor Raffensperger reminded all committee chairs that they
should set a regular schedule of meetings for the year, notifying
Nancy Fuller of the schedule so that we can generate a single
notice of committee meetings for the press and interested persons
and groups and cut down on the mailing expenses.
Conservation Advisory Council
Councilman Whitcomb reported that the CAC is planning a public
information meeting on February 23, 1992 at 3: 00 p. m. at National
Cash Register on the Open Space Report. Also the Agriculture
Committee of the CAC has produced a report on agriculture in the
Town of Ithaca and are also planning an informational meeting
with the area farmers which will be held February 27th in the
evening at Cooperative Extension.
Codes and Ordinance Committee
Councilman Niklas reported that there are two vacancies on the
COC as Robert Hines has resigned as the Zoning Board of Appeals
representative and Eva Hoffmann as the Planning Board
representative .
Report of County Board of Representatives
Representative Deborah Dietrich informed the Board that this year
has been a real fiscal crisis for the County. There was a 25%
growth in the medicaid case load, much of it attributed to the
recession as well as sizeable increases in home relief and
welfare rolls. So much of what has affected the County' s budget
has been in these areas .
She went on to comment on the proposed sales tax increase, which
the County Board is reviewing at this time . It was not an easy
sell to convince anyone , including herself, to share any of the
additional revenueq with other municipalities. She stated that
Supervisor Raffensperger gave a "persuasive pitch" on the Town ' s
fiscal crisis as did Mayor Nichols of the City of Ithaca as well
as other Town Supervisors. This is how the County Board arrived
at the 75-25% split, if the State Legislature goes along with it.
She further stated that they are also working on other areas to
increase revenues, such as additional cuts in their budget of up
to $500,000 .
She commented on the status of the reapportionment process.
DISCUSSION REGARDING FIRE DISTRICT CHANGES IN AGRICULTURAL
DISTRICTS
Supervisor Raffensperger noted that this has been a remarkable
illustration of state legislation that is not very clear. She
asked Town Attorney Barney to comment and interpret on the
current legislation.
Attorney Barney expressed his concern as to whether the
legislation by its terms, applies to lands outside of
agricultural districts but which have qualified, as they can do
under the law, for the agricultural assessment reduction. He
went on to say that the people at NYS Agriculture and Markets and
Equalization and Assessment seem to think it does not; that is
only intended to apply to people within an agricultural district,
however they are not sitting there quoting chapter/verse as there
is no chapter and verse to quote as near as he can tell .
The other issue that was troublesome for him as counsel for the
Town of Ithaca is the legislation which allows for the reduction
in assessment for fire and ambulance district purposes. The Town
of Ithaca is governed by a fire protection district which in the
Town Board Minutes 4
February 10, 1992
drafting of the Town Law is a different animal than a fire
district, so the question arises; did they really mean, when they
said fire and ambulance district only or .did they mean
generically anything that might qualify as a fire and ambulance
district or anything like that. The contacts that he has had in
Albany is that they probably did intend to mean it generically
but the legislation is not drawn generically. They are aware of
the problems local municipalities are having in dealing with this
and are trying to draft corrective legislation that will
hopefully be adopted this year which will clarify some of these
points and make it easier for us to make a determination. In
view of that, the Town has not drafted any legislation and the
timing to take advantage of it this year is beyond us as it must
be in place by March 1 , the taxable status date for properties in
the Town of Ithaca. He would suggest monitoring the progress of
the state legislation and take some action over the course of the
summer.
Councilman Niklas asked if the course of remediation is not
within our own local municipal powers but within state
legislation?
Attorney Barney responded by saying that there is a third
question as whether it is the Town' s function or the County' s
function to adopt this particular legislation. The County
Attorney, who also represents the Town of Enfield, stated that
they have adopted legislation in implementing this and his
position is that it is a local municipalities' s option.
Attorney Barney' s recommendation would be to resolve these
various issues before the Town takes any action.
Further discussion followed.
CONSIDER POLICY REGARDING ACCESS TO PUBLIC DOCUMENTS
Supervisor Raffensperger requested that this item be deleted from
this evenings agenda until further research has been done.
RATIFY EMPLOYMENT OF HICHELLE TOWNLEY AS ASSISTANT TO RECEIVER OF
TARES
Supervisor Raffensperger explained that the reason this is needed
is that the funds are in the budget for this position for an
Assistant to the Receiver of Taxes is budgeted under a different
line item.
Assistant Budget Officer Linda Nobles stated that normally they
are budgeted as contractual expenses as we expect to get the
person through an employment agency however this year it did not
seem appropriate to do that and we knew of someone who was
willing to help us out and had the skills that we needed so we
elected to hire them directly.

Councilman Whitcomb asked why authorization on meetings to be
attended by Town Officials and Town Staff for such a small amount
is needed.
Supervisor Raffensperger stated simply that this is what has been
done in the past and suggested possibly developing a policy which
states that it is no longer necessary to obtain Board approval to
attend meetings as long as the departments are staying within
their budget for meetings and conferences, etc . .
Councilman Niklas suggested adding upon the approval of the Town
Supervisor.
Assistant Budget Officer Linda Nobles remarked that this had been
suggested some time ago at least for the minimal expense
conferences which were less than $100 . 00. She agreed that it
does not make sense to waste the time for such a small amount.
