Agenda Item #4 - Report of Town Committees Councilman Klein reported the CPC has a meeting on July 14, they have been reviewing the 2010 map. Cathy Brown of Stuart Brown Associates has been working on Chapters 5 and 6 .

Councilman Niklas mentioned there was an interesting article in the Ithaca Journal on July 4 on the EPOD debate . Councilwoman Valentino reported she has a meeting on July 14 with the people from Cable Access for discussions on the franchise agreement. On July 15 she will meet with Barbara Lukens to continue work on the franchise . She attended a meeting with the City Committee that is looking at the recreational facilities.

Agenda Item #6 - Persons To Be Heard Noel Desch congratulated the Board on acquiring a 30 mph speed limit on Warren Road. Mr. Desch asked what provisions have been made to inform the public about the COC ' s preparations for the Planning Board hearing on August 4th? Councilman Niklas responded that this is all contingent upon the COC ' s July 22nd meeting. Advertisements will be placed in the Ithaca Journal on the Friday and Monday preceding the meeting, not just legal advertisements. The meetings on July 29th and August 4th are tentative based upon what is accomplished at the July 22nd meeting. The COC wants the Planning Board to review the current draft legislation for input, then the public will have access and participate in those deliberations. Mr. Desch asked if each individual landowner would be notified of the meetings, and requested that this happen? Councilman Niklas said the newspaper advertisements are an efficient way of letting all people including landowners know this is available for public scrutiny. The Town would notify each individual property owner when the Town Board places the issue as an agenda item and holds a Public Hearing, because then the boundaries for the EPODS will be defined. The COC will hold a committee meeting on July 22nd. Tentatively, it is planned to hold a public information meeting at NCR at 7 :00 p.m. on July 29th. The Planning Board has as an agenda item for its August 4th meeting a Public Hearing concerning EPODS. Agenda Item #11 - Annual Fuel Contract Bids The Town has received only one bid for the contract.

Earlier this year the Board approved a position for an individual to be trained by Mr. Westmiller before he left. This individual did not work out, a laborer has been working with Mr. Westmiller and would like the opportunity to learn this position . The Superintendent is requesting authorization to offer him the position officially upon Mr. Westmiller' s retirement, and to advertise for the position of laborer he will be vacating.

Motion made by Councilman Niklas, seconded by Councilman Liguori authorizing the appointment of the position as described and prepared by the Highway Superintendent. See attached resolution . Carried unanimously. Agenda Item #13 - Safety Equipment Required by PESH Daniel Walker, Town Engineer explained to the Board there are items which are becoming more of a concern for the safety of our employees and for liability the Town may have due to fines imposed for not having the proper safety equipment. There are four different types of equipment needed for entering confined spaces and working in trenches .

Motion made by Supervisor Raffensperger authorizing the Supervisor to sign the Snow & Ice Removal Contract after consideration and approval of the Town Attorney. Seconded by Councilman Niklas . Carried unanimously. Agenda Item #15 - South Hill Trail Design George Frantz, Assistant Planner presented the final drawings of the South Hill Trail and explained there are no substantial changes from the plans of 1989 , only detail changes . Mr. Frantz explained changes in the types of signs on the downhill section, as well as the changes he outlined at previous recent Town Board meetings. He proposed that whenever one of our trails intersects the recreationway we construct a pass through allowing about 18 inches so that one person may pass, but a bicycle could not. Councilman Whitcomb stated the City CAC is very concerned about bicyclists using the recreationway and they have a draft resolution by the Common Council prohibiting such vehicles from the trails. These barriers for bicycles will also have signs prohibiting them. Councilman Niklas hopes that our contribution to the sign pollution will be minimized. Mr. Frantz pointed out that all signs intended for the trail are going to be metal signs, 12" X 12" , with a dark brown background with white lettering. None of the proposed changes in the South Hill Trail will limit the accessibility of the trail by the handicapped. Supervisor Raffensperger stated the South Hill Trail can be completed within the budget as adopted in 1989 . All changes in the trail from the original plans in 1989 have been described in detail by Mr. Frantz . Mr. Frantz again described the change in the Burns Road area of the trail which involves a change in the grade . Motion made by Councilman Niklas approving the final design plan for the South Hill Trail as described in the prepared resolution . Seconded by Councilwoman Valentino . Carried unanimously. Agenda Item #7 - Cultural and Recreation Center Village of Lansing, Mayor Ted Wixom and Andrew Sciarabba gave the Board a design proposal for construction of a community and recreation center by the Village . There had been an ice rink proposed previously, but it did not materialize as there was considerable concern with what to do in the non ice seasons . The private group behind that proposal came to the Village of Lansing and asked them to consider it again. The Village ascertained it Town Board Mtg. Minutes 7/13/92 Pg. 8 Agenda Item #7 - Cont' d was not previously successful due to the lack of involvement by the community. There is no question now that the ice time would be adequately used. The problem comes from what to do in the non ice times of year. The plans as presented tonight include community rooms to allow space for meetings. The users would come from a larger area than the Village of Lansing. It would be a family center for the northeast located in the Village of Lansing, the Village of Lansing is asking the contiguous municipalities of the Town of Ithaca, Town of Dryden, Town of Lansing, and Cayuga Heights for their help. The Village has spoken to all the Mayors and Supervisors of these municipalities and has made three presentations . Location of the center would be at the corner of Warren Road and Route 13, which is an excellent location in terms of traffic . The single major problem in making this center a reality is finances. The facility should be paid for by the users, not tax dollars. There are other facilities which are self sufficient in Lysander, and Whitestown . The financial analysis comes close to the proposed center being self sufficient. The Town of Ithaca ' s participation would require the potential commitment of money, more as an insurance policy rather than a flat amount. The main ingredient of meeting the goal of the center ' s being self sufficient is the management of the facility as a separate enterprise . A feasibility study shows that the ice rink/community center would generate revenues but not enough to carry itself including the debt service . The private contributions have amounted to $300,000 in pledges, with the probability of raising a total of $500,000. The budget and operating numbers have been worked on for many years . The Village hired an architect to see if the project could be done within the parameters established in the study. The project will cost probably $2 million to $2 . 5 million . The operating numbers with realistic bonding figures for construction, even with the cost of $2 million, show a positive cash flow, and with a $2 . 4 construction estimate a negative cash flow only in the early years. The private donations will be used first, not taxpayer dollars. They are confident the project will work without taxpayer dollars, Town Board Mtg. Minutes 1113192 Pg, 9 Agenda Item #7 - Cont' d however some people feel if the numbers have been misinterpreted more money would be needed to guarantee the cash flow. That is why they are asking each municipality to guarantee the cash flow with contributions of $15,000 per year maximum to be shared equally by the five municipalities. There will be a Supervisory Board with ten members . Five from a representative of each of the municipalities, and the other five will be people in the community who have expertise in professional management. The Town would be asked for the $15 ,000 maximum only when the private donations were used, and only in equal amounts of the other municipalities. Councilman Niklas stated if the $15,000 did have to be used it would fail to meet the criteria of not expending taxpayer dollars. Mayor Wixom told the Board that joint management and ownership of the facility is the goal . The Village of Lansing would do the bonding and discussions would continue concerning joint ownership. Supervisor Raffensperger asked what benefit a municipality who contributes would get, compared to a municipality who does not contribute? Mayor Wixom replied there would have to be negotiations, however one of the things a municipality would receive would be part ownership and management, and priority use of the facility. The Supervisor asked what decision making time frame from each of the municipalities is being considered? Wayne Wixom replied that the Village would like to have the center operational by the Fall 1993, with the bonding referendum done Fall 1992 . Councilwoman Valentino stated the Intermunicipal Youth Commission is meeting to discuss the needs assessment in our community with the recreation dollars we have . This proposal will be reviewed by them to see if it fits into the needs assessment. The Youth Commission has had people request more activities which are not centrally located near the city. The Supervisor stated the Town has made a commitment to the Intermunicipal Youth Commission to make a needs based assessment for the Town, including the reassessment of our contractual obligations. We need to let them proceed with that and integrate this proposal into their discussions. The Supervisor directed Councilwoman Valentino to inform the Intermunicipal Youth Commission that we are anxious for them to Town Board Mtg. Minutes 7/13/92 Pg. 10 Agenda Item #7 - Cont' d consider this proposal along with the rest of the proposed services by the Town of Ithaca. We will then get back to the Village of Lansing concerning this proposal . Agenda Item #8 - Public Hearing, Consideration of "A Local Law to Establish and Change Fees Collected by the Town Clerk" Public Hearing opened at 7 : 00 p. m. Town Clerk has proof of posting and publication. The Supervisor asked for public comment, no persons wished to be heard. This is a revision of the fees schedule concerning the fees for Purebred Dog Licenses to be retained by the Town of Ithaca, along with a charge for the Noise Ordinance . Public Hearing closed at 7 :05 p. m. Motion made by Councilman Niklas, seconded by Councilman Whitcomb approving the adoption of a local Law amending Local Law #12 of the year 1992, "A Local Law to Establish and Change Fees Collected by the Town Clerk" . No discussion. Roll call vote, carried unanimously. Agenda Item #16 - Ratification of Temporary Employment, Highway Department Superintendent McConnell explained that Scotty Saraceni retired from the Highway Department last December. He has experience with mowing equipment and is looking for temporary employment to supplement his retirement income . The Town is in need of a part time mower operator so we can concentrate on that with minimal supervision . Mr. Saraceni has been in this temporary position since June 25, and Supervisor McConnell is requesting ratification of this position. The Supervisor stated there are sufficient funds in the budget to pay this position . Motion made by Councilman Niklas, seconded by Councilman Liguori ratifying the temporary part time position of Scotty Saraceni to the Highway Department. Carried unanimously. Agenda Item #14 - Report of Automated Data Processing Committee Daniel Walker reported the committee had met with representatives of IBM and Corning Data Services to discuss the state of the contracts for the System 36 . They did not offer any enthusiastic ways to modifying the system to meet our needs. Their response was that they would be glad to show us that the System 36 will work. They will be conducting a demonstration in the next month. Town Board Mtg . Minutes 7113192 Pg. 11 Agenda Item #14 - Cont' d The ADP was authorized to expend $2500 .00 for a Personal Computer for the Town Clerk, and were able to get a PC to meet the Town Clerk' s needs with additional software for $1700. 00 . The System 36 does work, the software is not being utilized because a great deal of time was spent trying to make things happen that didn ' t. Councilman Niklas asked if our obligations to pay were contingent upon the softwares obligation to work, and if it is not working, isn ' t it a way out of the contract? Mr . Walker responded that IBM and Corning Data feel it was not their fault the system was not working to meet our needs . The Supervisor suggested we have IBM come in and demonstrate to prove that the equipment and software are what we need. Agenda Item #18 - Town Board Meeting Minutes Motion made by Councilman Niklas, seconded by Councilman Whitcomb approving the Town Board Meeting Minutes of 6/8/92 with the correction on Page 3, Paragraph 6 , change all CAC ' s to CAC ' s. Carried unanimously. Motion made by Councilman Niklas, seconded by Councilman Liguori approving the Town Board Special Meeting Minutes of 6/22/92 as written. Carried unanimously. Agenda Item #19 - Financial Reports Supervisor Raffensperger thanked and congratulated the Assistant Budget Officer, Sally Alario for bringing the Financial Reports up to date so quickly. Motion made by Councilwoman Valentino approving the Financial Report ending April 30, 1992 as presented. Seconded by Councilman Niklas. Carried unanimously. Motion made by Supervisor Raffensperger, seconded by Councilman Niklas approving the Financial Report ending May 31 , 1992 as presented . Carried unanimously. Agenda Item #9 - Amendment to Local Law No. 1 of the Year 1984 With Recent EPA and DEC Regulatory Changes Supervisor Raffensperger opened the Public Hearing at 7 : 15 p. m. Town Clerk has proof of posting and publication. Town Board Mtg. Minutes 7/13/92 Pg. 12 Agenda Item #9 - Cont' d The Town Board has reviewed this local law recommended to the Town by the SJS and various Attorney' s . No persons wished to speak at the public hearing. Public Hearing closed at 7 : 17 p . m. Councilman Niklas moved the adoption of a local law amending Local Law No. 1 of the Year 1984, EPA and DEC Changes . Seconded by Councilman Klein . Roll call vote carried unanimously. Agenda Item #20 - Pine Tree Road, Judd Falls Road Walkway/Bikeway; Judd Falls Road Sidewalk The Supervisor explained this involves sidewalks along the commercial area along Judd Falls Road on the east and west side . The Town had several options in providing for the funding for this sidewalk. The Town could have set up a sidewalk district or provided for them under Town Law, Section 200A. Attorney Barney has recommended using Town Law, Section 200A. The cost to construct sidewalks in this area would be less than $13,000. Some of the participants within this project would like to pay all of the money up front, and some do not find that convenient. Under Section 200A the Town is able to provide some leeway to the participants concerning payment. A Public Hearing should be held to explain and discuss this project' s construction and funding . Motion made by Councilman Niklas to hold a Public Hearing on August 10, 1992 at 7 : 00 p. m. to hear public comment on said sidewalk project. Seconded by Councilwoman Valentino . The Town of Ithaca will be providing up front a portion of the funding for this project for the property owners who do not wish to pay the construction costs all at once. It would probably be limited to five years, with Section 200A limiting the interest rate to 6% . The Town has discussed this project with the majority of the landowners this project would effect. The County is putting the base sidewalk and gravel in. The landowners would only be paying for the surface coat. It. will be discussed at the Public Hearing if a landowner did not pay. The Town is taking a small risk because in order to have the contractor proceed the Town has to tell him to proceed within the next few days . Once the Town Board passes this, the landowners are required to participate by law. Cornell University is very willing to have this project go through and are willing to pay anyway that is convenient to the Town. A gravel walk (crushed stone compacted) will be constructed in front of the cemetery portion of the project. The various landowners will be responsible for the maintenance of the sidewalks in front of their properties once construction is completed. Motion carried unanimously. Town Board Ntg . Minutes 1113192 Pg . 13 Agenda Item t#20 - Cont' d Part of the alternative of the Tompkins County bid was a walkway/bikeway from the intersection of Snyder Hill Road to Ellis Hollow Road. None of the construction was included in the base contract except for an area where Old Pine Tree Road will remain, and the pavement will not be destroyed. It is designed to be ten feet wide, with several hundred feet paved, the rest of it will not be constructed under the County base bid. The Town has talked to the contractor, and Cornell is looking for support for this section. The Supervisor is requesting authorization to enter into an arrangement with the contractor to build the sub-base course with compacted gravel . The entire cost of the walkway/bikeway as it was bid was approximately $32 ,000 most of which is for the asphalt surface . The cost to have the contractor while he is already there and mobilized build the sub- base, and place the gravel will be less than $8,000 . It is prudent for the Town to approve the basic construction of the sub-base while the road is done . The Town does not have $32 ,000 to do the complete walkway/bikeway, however we do have the funding to build the base because Cornell will subsidize at least half of it for an amount up to $4500. 00 . Motion made by Councilman Niklas authorizing the Supervisor to proceed with the basic construction of a sub-base Walkway/Bikeway on Pine Tree Road for a cost not to exceed $7 ,000 from the Town of Ithaca. Seconded by Councilwoman Valentino. Carried unanimously. Councilman Whitcomb made the point that we should finish the construction of the surface of this area within a timely manner to insure no loss on construction of the sub-base . Supervisor Raffensperger stated it would have been wonderful to be able to complete the project, however we do not have leeway of $46 ,000 in the present budget to complete the entire projects, sidewalks and bikeway this year. Agenda item t#10 - Public Hearing Amending Local Law No . 1 of the Year 1984, To Establish Revised Pollutant Limitations Public Hearing opened at 7 : 30 p. m. The Supervisor told the Board this Local Law has to do with levels permitted for inspection of industrial facilities concerning Pollutant Limitations. To bring the standards more up to date . This has been previously discussed and materials given to the Board. Public Comment was received by Noel Desch stating this Local Law is long overdue . Public Hearing closed at 7 : 34 p. m. Motion made by Councilman Niklas approving the local law amending Local Law No. 1 of the Year 1984 to establish revised Pollutant Limitations. Seconded by Councilman Liguori. Roll call vote carried unanimously. Town Board Mtg. Minutes 7/13/92 Pg. 14 Agenda Item #21 - Town Hall Furnace Daniel Walker told the Board during the normal spring cleaning and inspection of the furnace it was discovered the heat exchanger is cracked to the point where fire can be seen when the furnace is hot. The Town has received a quote of $4180. 00 to replace the existing furnace with two furnaces, which is reasonable with the size of the building. We are in the process of obtaining further inspections and costs of replacement. Mr. Walker will follow the Town Procurement Policy to received further estimates of replacement. Councilman Klein recommended that a set back thermostat be installed to insure the proper efficiency and temperature during the nights and weekends. Motion made by Councilman Niklas authorizing the Town Engineer to secure estimates and secure replacement of the furnace for an amount not to exceed $4, 500, with said furnace to be equipped with a set back thermostat. Seconded by Councilman Whitcomb. Carried unanimously.
