Agenda Item No . 4 - Report of Town Committees
Councilwoman Valentino reported she had one meeting with the
American Community Cablevision concerning the franchise . They
talked about a discount for Senior Citizens, a suli-division rule
which would allow the cable to be laid at the same time other
utilities are being laid at the cost of the developer, with ACC
paying for the cable . She requested that the Town Attorney review
the documents received . The next meeting with ACC is scheduled for
August 25 .
The Youth Bureau Recreation Committee in the Ithaca school district
is looking at different ways to deliver programs to youth within
the County.
The City of Ithaca gave the committee two proposals . One shows a
total share of oasts of $358 , 438 which is the sane plan the Town
has had with the City in the past. The Town ' s share of this
proposal would be $ 148, 219 down from $ 168 , 000 last year, because of
increased revenues from in,�reased fees for programs .

Agenda Item No . 4 - Cont ' d
The Committee found some interesting things that they had not
realized before . Debt service is charged to the Towns for Cass
Park pool and rink, and the youth Bureau facility. Operation and
maintenance comes out of the City Public Works ]budget and is put
into recreation . These were questioned at the meeting . Mrs .
Valentino questioned the fairness of the Town being charged for the
debt service on those programs .
The new proposal is the Town of Ithaca Mould be charged $117 , 000
under a program the City is reluctant to support. This proposal
takes out the casts for Cass Park rink and pool with one set
admission fee for the rink and pool County wide . City residents
would be able to buy a cheaper yearly pass . This proposal would
give the municipalities same savings.
Councilwoman, Valentino made an analysis of some of the figures and
costs presented . The City provided more detailed information of
costs than ever before this year. For 1991 they were given a
breakdown of the fees and various programs of the number of youth
who participated . More children from the Town of Ithaca
participated in these City programs than City children do. The
total cost that are paid by Ithaca ' s residents for their children
to participate was $41 , 150 . If the triple cost theory (what the
City charges for municipalities who do not pay into the program ) ,
had been used the Town could have paid for every child to
participate in the recreation programs of the City of Ithaca free
of cost , and the cost would have been $45 , 000 less than what the
Tawas is paying .
The City has stated that the triple fee payment method is not
acceptable to them. The City maintains that the triple fee method
does not cover all the cost that they consider .
The Town is at a disadvantage without this method because the Town
is paying a larger amount than the triple fee , and other
communities are paying the triple fee method . This does not seem
to be an equitable formula ,
The Youth Bureau facility maintenance and Cass Park pool and rink
cosh are not casts that the municipalities wish to participate ire .
The rationale is that these capital projects were decided on by the
Common Council , the other municipalities had rlo voice in that
decision making process .
When the Board of Public Works showed the committee the debt
service figures a question was raised about the income from those
facilities , are the municipalities sharing the revenues as well as
the debt service? That income never shows in the recreation
budget, it is received into the City General Fund account .
Town Board Mtg . Minutes

Agenda Item No. 4 - Cont ' d
The City thinks it is fair to charge the municipalities 50% of the
costs for Chase facilities without giving the municipalities 50% of
the income .
The City is determined in most of the issues, however, they are
willing to negotiate a different structure which will put the
County in more of a focal group to distribute the costs .
Councilwoman Valentino feels the main reason they are interested in
this idea is because they want all the costs to be pa2A of that
form of distribution . The other Towns will not agree to this .
Most of them are participating on the fee basis or are providing
their own recreation programs out of their schools and parks .
The Director of the youth Bureau felt that some direct negotiations
were necessary between the City and the Town . The Director will
raise these concerns with the City Common Council .
Councilwoman Valentino mentioned the Town Board has said for
several years that they didn ' t have the time to investigate fully
these programs and change what is being done . It has gotten to the
point where the costs are so high for the Town and every child in
fees that the children who art participating are the middle and
upper class level . The poor children who the Town Board wished to
be able to benefit from the program are not able to. The Town
Board has come to a paint ,there it must take a hard look at this
relationship with the City and begin to find a program which will
provide the desired recreation services to our children .
Councilman Liguori felt the Town has been paying excessive amounts
for many years based can the proportions of the City of Ithaca
versus the Town of Ithaca. The City has set aside an amount which
goes directly to their Gerieral Fund . The Town of Ithaca is
essential paying more than they are .
Councilman Valentino noted that is not all they pay, they pay an
additional difference over and above . They are paying a
substantial amount of money .
Councilman Klein mentioned there are many programs that are used by
only the City youth. In prior years they charged the Town for
programs that only the City youth participated in .
Councilwoman Valentino reported another disadvantage to the Town is
the City crakes all their Division for Youth Funds for youth
services and puts them into the Greater Ithaca Activities Centex:
and 8outhside Center resulting in no free recreation programs , $a
that money the Town wou'1d have available from the State for
matching funds the Town can not use or get because all the programs

have a fee in the City.
Supervisor Raffensperger stated some time ago the Town of Ithaca
decided it was not happy with the system, and went to the voucher
system. It turned into a nightmare because the City required
parents pay the triple fees and then they come to the Town and
prove they were residents , then the Town would reimburse them two
thirds of the triple fees. It was impossible administratively,
therefore , the Town returned to the present system not having any
better alternative . Approximately 1200 children are now
participating, however that number is declining due to the fees
charged. This is a difficult situation. The Supervisor thanked
Councilwoman Valentino for all her work and time devoted to this .
Councilwoman Valentino said the City breaks the costs down by
participation of how many children for each Town. The actual costs
of the individual programs are not shown they are in the budget as
one item, Direct Program Expenditures .
Councilman Klein stated there are some programs the Town does not
use, and they shouldn ' t take total program costs and try to include
them. In later years if the Village of Lansing proceeds with their
recreation center there may be a large change in the usage of Cass
Park pool and rink which will have to be considered.
The Supervisor stated last year they did give a cost per child for
each program.
Councilwoman Valentino mentioned she sympathized with the City
because they are facing the same budget restraints , however they
did make the decisions on their own to make these kind of capital
projects. It is up to them to look at their tax base to pay for
these . The Town of Ithaca should pay a fair share of the program
costs and a reasonable amount for administration . The other Towns
are looking at a form of clustering. Whereby the Towns could buy
into a clustering of recreation services and choose what programs
they wished to participate in . The City is not willing to consider
that at this time .
Councilman Niklas reported the Codes and Ordinances Committee has
met twice in an effort to complete recommendations regarding the
Steep Slope EPOD legislation . The Committee decided that, unlike
previous drafts which make reference to both steep slopes and
stream corridors , the Committee would go to the public with one of
these at a time . At the last meeting the COC voted to have a
Public Information Meeting on steep slopes which is scheduled for
Wednesday, September 16 .

The Committee would present the draft legislation and a proposed
map showing the areas of the steep slopes within the Town to be
located, and to answer questions from the public .
Councilman Niklas had a draft advertisement for the meeting he
wished to have approved by the Town Board for this public meeting.
He requested authorization to commit a total of not more than
$210 . 00 for two advertisements on September 11 , and 14 . John
Czamanske has been in contact with NCR and the Ithaca Journal. NCR
has this date available for the use of their facility and it has
been reserved . The meeting will be held at 7 : 30 p . m. until 9 : 30
p. m.
Motion made by Councilman Klein, seconded by Councilwoman Valentino
authorizing the COC to hold a Public Informational Meeting about a
Proposed Steep Slope Environmental Protection Overlay District on
September 16 , 1992 from 7 : 30 p . m to 9 : 30 pm. in the NCR cafeteria
off Rt . 96B, and to advertise said meeting on September 11 and 14
in the Ithaca Journal at a cost not to exceed $210 . 00 .
Councilman Liguori asked for more information about segmenting the
draft legislation, and whether that means the Steep Slope EPOD is
coming before the Town Board independent of the Stream Corridor
EPOD and if that is so, why we are doing that . There are people who
are going to be in the steep slope and the stream corridor. The
people have a right to see what is expected of them in relation to
both activities .
Councilman Niklas responded there may be several EPODS, if we
present one EPOD at a time the public will have a greater
opportunity to understand what is expected. If we combine two or .
more there is a chance for confusion.
Councilman Liguori responded that confusion has to come . The
public has a right to know what is expected of the Comprehensive
Plan in regard to a whole series of EPODS .
Councilman Niklas stated the Comprehensive Planning document does
not define specifics, it follows through with the 1989
recommendation of Stuart Brown Associates that the Town pursue an
EPOD approach to the environmentally sensitive areas, the first of
these would be the steep :31opes .
Supervisor Raffensperger understood that the field work for the
stream corridors EPOD is not complete and will not be for sometime .
The map of the steep slopes is very well developed and can be
presented to the public for review.

Councilman Niklas said the approach recommended by many people
including the Town Board and the COC was that the Town approach
EPOD legislation as a modular one proposing one EPOD at a time .
Councilman Liguori stated this is the very thing that has caused
the public to be very upset . The Six Mile Creek conservation plan
being introduced separately, the Open Space Plan being introduced
separately, and nothing being said about an EPOD plan. The public
has a right to see the entire picture at one time even if it does
seem confusing.
Councilman Niklas pointed out that the EPOD legislation respects
the underlying zoning of properties in the proposed designated
areas .
Councilman Liguori disagreed, if it did, the people would be able
to do within the EPOD everything they can do within their present
zone subject to certain conditions on the steep slope .
Councilman Niklas mentioned there is no comment in any of the draft
EPODS which mention aesthetics , and the fact that a member of the
Town Board is so confused as to what is being proposed all the more
enforces the need to deal with one EPOD at a time and to have
public information meetings .
The Board discussed ways of improving the advertisement with bold
face and underling .
Councilman Niklas requested the mailing list of interested persons
from Noel Desch so that he could inform them of the meeting . He
has not received a response to this request from Mr . Desch.
The COC will also ask the radio stations to advertise the meeting
as a community interest item so as many people as possible will be
reached .
Motion moved, all in favor with the exception of Councilman Liguori
opposed. Motion carried.
Councilman Klein reported the Comprehensive Planning Committee
(CPC ) , was pleased that all the Chapters have been prepared in at
least a draft form. The committee is in the process of reviewing
Chapters 5 and 6 . There may be an informational meeting in
September to discuss the last three chapters of the Comprehensive
Plan.

AGENDA ITEM NO. 8 - DISPOSITION OF OUTDATED RECORDS LISTING
The Town Clerk previously sent the Board a description of the
records ;which have been researched through the summer Records
Management Program which are ready for disposition according to the
MU-1 schedule adopted by the Town Board.
The Supervisor as well as the Department Heads have reviewed this
listing and have filled out a form for authorization to dispose of
the records within their department. The only exception to the
listing was Daniel walker, Town Engineer. There are some water and
sewer records he wishes to review before disposition. After his
review them he will authorize the disposition of the records not
needed . Those items will not be disposed of until Mr. Walker
approves . The Town Clerk asked the Board if there were any records
listed they wished not to be disposed of .
Councilman Klein asked if these records were microfilmed . The Town
Clerk responded that most items on the listing include copies of
the originals . The originals are in the vault or in some other
form. There are some financial records and water records which are
original copies in the cellar, they will be brought up to the vault
after the disposition is completed.
In the future water/sewer and personnel records will have to be
reviewed as they are not in a format which will allow them to be
kept for perpetuity as required .
There have been pictures of the cellar taken before the project,
and more will be taken after completion so that the Board can see
the progress being made . The total amount of records listed for
disposition is 110 cubic feet.
The Town Clerk reported after disposition the cellar would only be
used for records which are only required to kept for the usual six
years. The door of the cellar and the attic have been labeled
requesting no one store or retrieve any records from those areas
unless notifying the Records Management Officer so the program can
be maintained. All shelves and spaces in the cellar are labeled
and correspond with an inventory sheet so that the Records
Management Program can continue following the SARA policies, no
matter who is employed by the Town now or in the future .
This program is not something the Town will be spending a lot of
money on now and then in ten years have to redo it. Once the
program is completed and maintained and the employees and

department heads become accustomed to the policies of tracking the
official copies so excessive copies are not necessary to be kept,
clutter and disorganization will be deleted from the filing system.
Councilman Liguori asked how the records would be disposed of . The
Town Clerk responded that the majority of the records are loose
papers and will transported to the recycling center. The Highway
Superintendent has kindly offered a truck from the Highway
Department to transport the records.
Some of the financial documents such as canceled checks and
statements should be disposed of by shredding to ensure the
confidentiality of the bank account numbers .
The Town Clerk assured the Board she has gone through each box of
records and everything listed to be disposed of is not an original ,
nor does it have any archival value .
The Supervisor told the Board the nice thing about the process as
it has gone on is, increasingly we can find what we are looking
for, it has made a tremendous difference already.
The Town Clerk asked for an amendment to the prepared resolution
that all records shall be disposed of with the exception of the
records requested to be reviewed by the Town Engineer, and after
his review those records he approves may also be disposed of .
Motion made by Councilman Niklas approving the disposition listing
with the amendment requested by the Town Clerk, seconded by
Councilman Liguori . Carried unanimously, ( see attached ) .
AGENDA ITEH NO . 9 - APPOINTMENT PART TIME RECORDS MANAGEMENT AIDE
The Town Clerk explained that Tamir Hadi has been working on the
Records Management Program through the Summer Youth Program and
will be finished on August 14 . Tamir has been doing an excellent
job, and the Town Clerk could not be more pleased with his work.
Since the program will not be finished by that date, the Town Clerk
is requesting his appointment part time through the rest of the
summer and during school vacations at $4 . 25 per hour.
The grant money received from the SARA has an amount of $1250 . 00
for professional services . However, the program is going so well
that this money could be used for this part time position.
Motion made by Councilman Niklas approving the appointment of Tamir
Hadi as a part time Records Management Aide at a cost not to exceed
$1000 . 00. Seconded by Councilman Klein. Carried unanimously.

AGENDA ITEM NO. 10 - RECORDS MANAGEMENT ADVISORY BOARD
The Town Clerk explained the SARA grant process requires the
appointment of a Records Management Advisory Board to provide
advice , guidance , and support for the records program. This is a
vital Board because in the future it will be necessary to make
decisions as to how some of the permanent records will be kept.
There are also some records the Town Clerk is unsure of as to
archival value because she is a new resident. According to the
SARA schedule some of these records may only need to be kept the
minimum of six years, but they may have archival value not known to
the Town Clerk .
Supervisor Raffensperger asked for a volunteer from the Town Board
to serve on this board . Councilman Niklas volunteered . Motion
made by Councilwoman Valentino appointing a Records Management
Advisory Board consisting of Supervisor, Shirley Raffensperger;
Town Board Member, Karl tdiklas; Town Engineer, Daniel Walker;
Records Management Officer, Joan Lent Hamilton; and Administrative
Assistant to Planning/Zoning/Engineering , Nancy Fuller. Seconded
by Councilman Liguori . Carried unanimously.
AGENDA ITEM NO . 11 - RATIFICATION OF RECORDS MANAGEMENT PROGRAM

concerning this phase . The Town Clerk requested ratification of
these reports .

AGENDA ITEM NO. 12 - ADJUSTMENT TOWN CLERK SALARY
The Supervisor stated Joan Hamilton was appointed as Town Clerk as
of February 12 , 1992 and has completed her six month probationary

seconded by Councilman Liguori .
Councilwoman Valentino asked if this were the same company the Town
contracted with last year? The Supervisor stated it was Star Oil
last year. This was the second time the contract was bid.
The Supervisor suggested continuance of this conversation when the
Highway Superintendent returns .
Upon the return of the Highway Superintendent he explained there
were three bidders for this contract; Andree Petroleum, Star Oil
and Agway Petroleum. It was a mixed bid between Star Oil and
Andree Petroleum, taking in the amount intended to purchase and the
amount on the bid. Andree Petroleum was the overall low price .
This year' s bid was not significantly above last year' s . It is a
price per gallon . The Town asks for a bid price per gallon based
upon an estimated usage , and also a rack price at a certain period
of time prior to the bid ( July 31 ) . The companies estimate their
market price and submit a bid. Councilman Niklas moved the vote .
Carried unanimously.
The Supervisor requested that the Town Board be presented with the
bids in the future so that they may compare them.
Attorney Barney stated within the Town ' s Ethics Law he wished to
disclose he represents Andree Petroleum.
AGENDA ITEM NO . 14 - RECOMMENDATION OF PERSONNEL COMMITTEE , SALARY
POOL 1993
The Personnel Committee met and recommended to the Town Board the
approval of a salary pool for this year of a range of between 4% to
5s over the 1992 base salary.
Motion made by Councilwoman Valentino approving the recommendation
of the Personnel Committee for the 1993 salary pool . Seconded by
Councilman Karl Niklas . Carried unanimously.
AGENDA ITEM NO . 15 - FALL BRUSH AND LEAF PICK-UP
The Highway Superintendent has set the dates for the Fall brush
pick up for October 12 through October 16 , 1992 ; and the leaf pick
up for November 2 through November 1.3, 1992 . Motion made by

AGENDA ITEM NO . 16 - QUARTERLY INVESTMENT REPORT

decline . The Town had a conservative amount budgeted for interest
this year, so the Town did not seem to estimate revenues too high.
Sally Alario told the Board she had spoken with a bank official and
lie stated there is no hope of it increasing for a while . The rates
have not yet stabilized.
I-lotion made by Councilman Niklas accepting the Quarterly Investment
Report. Seconded by Councilman Liguori . Carried unanimously.
AGENDA ITEM NO . 17 - DECLARATION OF COVENANTS AND RESTRICTIONS ,
INLET VALLEY LAND COOPERATIVE
Attorney Barney explained this subdivision goes back to the 1970 ' s
when people wanted to form a cooperative . They went through all
the necessary processes . The arrangement did not work out and
after litigation and arguments with the State Attorney General as
to whether the documents filed involved a cooperative, it was
resolved to change it from a cooperative to a more prevalent use of
a Home Owners Association. Where each person actually owns their
lot and the Home Owners Association will own some of the common
land including the road which has never been dedicated to the Town.
The process has continued and was heard by the Planning Board for
preliminary and final sub-division approval . They are now subject
to only this Board ' s approval .
Attorney Barney has reviewed them and would only like to mention a
possible condition of granting the approval be the limitation of
the leasing of the properties . The declarations presented do not
include those limitations , so if the Board wishes them the document
would have to be amended.
There is no obligation on the Town ' s part to enforce these
declarations and covenants, however the restrictions can be
enforced by the Town of Ithaca if the Town Board chose to.
Councilman Niklas asked about the lease restrictions, would the
developer be opposed to those under certain circumstances , and it
would be attractive to potential buyers?
Attorney Barney responded that he had not mentioned it to the
developers, nor was it mentioned by the Planning Board. The nature
of the layout of 10 or 11 lots are single family, which does not
seem likely the developers would be opposed.
Where is one member of the Association who is not in favor of this
due to a problem with the road, however this is not a Town concern .

AGENDA ITEM NO . 18 - AUTHORIZATION TO AWARD 1989 MATER AND SEWER
IMPROVEiMENT PROJECT, CONTRACT #4 , INLET VALLEY PHASE II
Erik Whitney explained a very good bid from a viable contractor who
has done work for the Town previously on Hudson Street, the former
East Shore Drive Project was received. The bid came in about
$79,000 lower than all other bids .
The Town Engineer feels the contractor can meet the contract; and
the Town is ready at this point to keep the contractor busy until
the outstanding permits from DOT, the Department of Health, and
some convenience easements from Fingerlakes State Parks are
complete .
The easements from the Parks are not absolutely necessary to have ,
although it would cost approximately $28,000 to go around them.
Mr. Whitney spoke to Richard Curly of the State Parks Real Property
Department who stated Jesse Miller, Chief Engineer had not
forwarded our application in a timely manner. The Real Property
Review Board meets at the end of August, then the Executive
Committee will have to review it. A letter will be sent tomorrow
asking for special permission to cross a 50 foot area of Buttermilk
Falls State Park approachment . The complication is going under the
inlet before the end of September, the DEC Fisheries will not allow
it after that because of fish habitats .
Councilman Liguori asked if we have a favorable agreement with
Fingerlakes Parks for the payment of their share?
Mr. Whitney stated they are planning to tie into the water supply
at the Tremain State Park, which will be metered as any other
customer . They also understand there will be a benefit assessment.
Supervisor Raffensperger wished to add to the prepared resolution
"that the remaining easements and agreements be reviewed and
approved by the Attorney to the Town" . We would not be requesting
passage of this resolution without the easements without the
necessity of complying with the requirements of the DEC concerning
Town Board Mtg. Minutes

the fish habitats . The Supervisor has been assured the necessary
easements and agreements are forthcoming .
Motion made by Councilman Niklas approving the prepared resolution
as amended by the Supervisor . Seconded by Councilman Liguori .
Councilman Klein asked how this bid fits within the budgeted
amount? Mr. Whitney stated it is well below the budgeted bid
estimate by approximately $500 ,000.
The Supervisor explained this is the case because the bid is very
good due to the bidding climate . Even if the Town had to redesign
some portion due to difficulty with agreements the Town would still
have sufficient funds .
Councilman Klein requested an amendment saying the amount is below
the amount included in the estimated construction budget.
Amendment approved by the members who moved and seconded . Motion
carried unanimously.
AGENDA ITEM NO . 19 - RATIFICATION OF EMPLOYMENT - MICHELLE TOWNLEY,
ACCOUNTANT CLERK TYPIST
Supervisor Raffensperger told the Board the Personnel Committee
felt it was important to have this position filled before the
meeting. Four individuals were interviewed, the Personnel
Committee recommended Michelle Townley who had previously worked
for the Town in a temporary position . Mrs . Townley has been on the
job for approximately two weeks . The Town Board in a previous
meeting authorized the position .
Motion made by Councilwoman Valentino ratifying the employment of
Michelle 'Townley as Account Clerk Typist. Seconded by Councilman
Niklas, carried unanimously.
AGENDA ITEM NO. 20 - APPOINTMENT SECRETARY/ENGINEERING AND PLANNING
Mr. Forman stated that Nancy Fuller will be retiring by the end of
the year. Due to the fact the secretarial position is a very
complicated one it is necessary to hire someone to learn the
position and to help with the amount of the workload . Four people
were interviewed and the recommended candidate was Wilma Hornback.
Motion made by Councilman Niklas appointing and approving the
hiring of Wilma Hornback as Planning and Engineering Secretary at
a salary of $7 . 00 per hour . Seconded by Councilman Frank Liguori .
Carried unanimously.

AGENDA ITEM NO . 7 - PUBLIC HEARING - CONSTRUCTION OF SIDEWALKS
Public Hearing opened at 7 : 00 p. m. The Supervisor explained it
would be necessary to reschedule the Public Hearing as there was a
small deficiency in the notice as published. Public Hearing closed
at 7 : 01 p . m . All the participants of this proposed sidewalk
district would have received letters notifying them of the time .
Mr. Walker feels that all of the landowners involved are in favor
of the sidewalk district.
The Supervisor explained that rescheduling the Public Hearing in
September will result in the sidewalks already having been
constructed . As explained before , the Town Board is taking a
slight risk by proceeding to do these sidewalks while the County' s
contractor is on the site . Cornell University is the largest
participant in the project and they are fully supportive of the
project . The sooner the Public Hearing is held, the less the

The Supervisor proposed holding the Public Hearing on August 24 ,
1992 at 12 : 15 p. m. Motion made by Councilman Niklas that the Town
Board hold a Public Hearing on Monday, August 24 , 1992 at 12 : 15
p . m. to consider an Ordinance Regulating the Wanner of Construction
and Repair of Sidewalks . Seconded by Councilman Liguori . Carried
unanimously.
Councilman Niklas recommended that the Town Board discuss the
matter now so as to save time during the Public Hearing.
Supervisor Raffensperger stated she has had discussions with John
Hajeroni of Cornell University about the sidewalks . The Supervisor
asked if anyone in the audience would like to discuss this issue
with the Board.
John Gutenberger, Bonnie VanAmburg, and B. Campbell Anderson came
to listen to the proposal and all stated they had no problem with
the construction of the proposed sidewalks as long as they were
charged their fair share .
The property owners involved will be notified of the Public Hearing
on August 24, 1992 . The cost to Cornell University will be
$4 , 329 . 38. Mr. Walker has also discussed the amounts with the
other property owners . We are in the process of contacting someone
from the Cemetery Association to discuss their situation as they
are tax exempt. They have a large portion of the project. The
County will proceed with a base gravel surface for that portion.
There is a need to access the cemetery' s willingness and ability to
participate . The Chairman of the Cemetery Association is presently
on vacation .

Agenda Item No. 7 - Cont ' d
The parcel costs are based on the contractor ' s bid through the
County.
The Town Board authorized our Town Engineer to inform the County to
proceed with that portion of the project. The time frame for
completion is within the next few weeks .
The legislation will permit payment in a lump sum or to be financed
over a five year period by each property owner. Cornell University
has chosen to pay the amount in a lump sum as the amount is not
large enough to warrant paying interest on .
The Supervisor will write a letter to each property owner outlining
the cost, parcel, and the footage involved; as well as the change
in the Public Hearing.
Attorney Barney presented the proposed Ordinance for sidewalks as
outlined in Sections 130 and 200A of the Town Law which authorizes
the Town to adopt an ordinance . You can do several things, the
first is to compel property owners into joining where sidewalks
will be constructed and then construct, with maintenance the
responsibility of the property owners . The Town can also decided
the specifications of construction .
If you compel the construction of sidewalks the Town can demand the
owner build them within 15 days, if the owner does not build within
the allotted time the Town can construct them and charge the
expense back to the property owner in the form of an assessment of
five years With an amount of interest, or in a lump sum.
Attorney Barney stated this draft ordinance is comparable to what
the City of Ithaca has , and recommends the Town Board adopt it.
Councilman Klein asked if this would empower the Planning Board to
require sidewalks within subdivisions? Attorney Barney explained
the subdivision regulations already have that provision. This
ordinance is related more to areas which are not subject to
subdivision review.
Councilman Klein recommended that usually a residential sidewalk is
four feet wide , and this ordinance calls for a six foot sidewalk
within its specifications .
Attorney Barney stated he will amend it to read .unless otherwise
waived by the Town Board" , which will give some leeway if someone
wishes to construct a four foot sidewalk.
Councilman Klein also noticed that the materials, a standard
sidewalk is black top where someone may wish to build a concrete

one . Attorney Barney will also amend that section .
Superintendent McConnell noted that the sidewalks the highway
department maintains are presently asphalt and six feet wide .
Asphalt sidewalks cannot usually be constructed at four feet unless
they are constructed by hand . Once constructed at that width they
can not be maintained using Town equipment .
Attorney Barney stated a reference must be made for specifications .
Councilman Niklas asked that thought be given to the amendments as
it seems this is a fine generic ordinance with a specific set of
specifications , and this should not be "carved in stone" .
Attorney Barney will work on the draft and send a copy to the Board
before the meeting on August 29 to review.
This ordinance will be utilized within areas of the Town right of
way and along County and State highways with their permission .
Supervisor Raffensperger stated this is the mechanism we have to
accommodate the desire of the businesses to have sidewalks along
Judd Falls Road, other than a Sidewalk District which is
complicated.
George Frantz, Assistant Planner suggested that the specifications
be amended to tiers of sidewalks . Four feet for streets designated
by the Town Board as residential, and six feet for those streets
designated by the Town Board as commercial .
Attorney Barney felt this was a good suggestion, and can amend the
ordinance to reflect this. The Board agreed to those standards
being added.
Councilman Liguori asked if residents could build gravel sidewalks,
and not restrict it to asphalt or concrete?
Supervisor Raffensperger understood that the wording Attorney
Barney will be using would allow the Town Board to approve a gravel
sidewalk.
AGENDA ITEM NO . 21 - PUBLIC HEARING TO AMEND THE ZONING ORDINANCE -:-
PERMITTED USES IN ZONES
Attorney Barney explained there was several years ago an
interpretation of the Board of Zoning Appeals to the effect any use
that is permitted in a zone is automatically granted in any other
less restrictive zone . The Zoning Ordinance has a hierarchy of
zones based on the restrictiveness of the purposes in determining
Town Board Htg . Minutes
8/10/92 Pg. 18
Agenda Item No. 21 - Cont ' d
whether or not they are a nonconforming use .
Suppose you have a light industrial zone , the ZBA says that is a
less restrictive zone than all other commercial zones . Therefore ,
anything that you can do in a commercial zone you can also do in a
light industrial zone . Until this Board took action concerning
retail sales anything could happen in an industrial zone .
It is thought that interpretation probably is not the way this
Board would like to have its zones interrupted. Rather than try to
persuade the ZBA to change its interpretation it is better to put
in a statement such as "the uses enumerated for each zone are
indeed the uses permitted for that zone, and that zone only" . The
fact that a use is permitted in a commercial zone does not mean it
is automatically permitted in other zones .
Councilman Niklas recalled the COC reviewed this and felt this
hierarchy approach as described by Attorney Barney was not
desirable . This recommendation is compatible with the COC ' s
discussion.
Councilman Liguori asked about the residential zones . Attorney
Barney stated that residential zones are enumerated quite well in
our Zoning Ordinance . This would not effect nonconforming use, and
it does not effect a non conforming use being permitted for use in
a more restricted zone .
Mr. Frost pointed out a clarification that the interpretation which
prompted this dates back to about eighteen years ago to a much
older and different Zoning Ordinance . In 1974 the Zoning Ordinance
set forth commercial uses in a 'light industrial zone .
Mr. Frost noted another thing that may need clarification in the
Zoning Ordinance is the limit of gasoline stations to D Zones .
Councilman Niklas mentioned that the COC had discussed this and
decided to leave the current Zoning Ordinance as it is . The ZBA ' s
interpretation essentially clarify' s, from the point of view of the
ZBA the limitations. There is an opinion paper which was handed
down by the ZBA on this point.
]Motion made by Councilman Niklas authorizing the Town Clerk to
advertise for a Public Hearing to be held September 8, 1992 at 7 : 00
p. m. to consider amending the Zoning Ordinance regarding permitted
uses in each zone . Seconded by Councilwoman Valentino . Carried
unanimously.

Motion made by Supervisor Raffensperger adopting the Financial
Report for June 30, 1992 as the official report. Seconded by
Councilwoman Valentino . Carried unanimously.
AGENDA ITEM! NO. 24 - ETHICS BOARD
Supervisor Raffensperger reported that the Town in passing its
Ethics Legislation provides for the establishment of a local Ethics
Board. The legislation adopted by the Town Board did not provide
for a mechanism creating one .
After reviewing the Committee assignments from January, the Ethics
Committee had the charge of developing the Ethics Legislation and
the Ethics Board. Chairman of that Committee is Catherine
Valentino, and members were Frank Liguori , Patricia Leary, and the
Town Clerk.
Supervisor Raffensperger proposed that the Ethics Committee members
proceed with the recommendation of appointments to the Ethics
Board . The Ethics Legislation calls for the appointment of two
Democrats, two Republicans, and two Independents.
Supervisor Raffensperger suggested the Committee correspond with
the leaders of the Democratic and Republican Committees of the Town
to ask them to put forth three names for consideration leaving only
the Independent ' s to find .
Councilman Liguori asked what the relationship would be between the
Ethics Board and the Ethics Committee?
The Supervisor responded that the Ethics Committee is a Town
Committee appointed in January 1992 to set up the legislation.
This Committee will eventually be phased out. The legislation
states that an elected official does not serve on the Ethics Board .
In the past the Town Board did contact the political party' s
committees to receive recommendations for appointments .
Councilwoman Valentino asked that for the appointments other than
the political ones, if there are individuals or Board members who
have suggestions of people in the community to serve to contact
Town Board 11tg . Minutes

her. The Independents must be registered voters .
Councilwoman Leary felt the appointments may not have to be that
highly political , that way we may have something more partisan than
the Board will like .
Councilman Liguori responded by saying that we wish to have a Board
with equal partisanship .
Motion made by Supervisor Raffensperger authorizing the Town Ethics
Committee to review Local Law No . 4 of 1992 and make
recommendations to the Town Board for the establishment of six
appointments to the Town of. Ithaca Local Ethics Board. Seconded by
Councilman Niklas .
Councilman Klein noticed that the Local Law states no Ethics Board
Member should hold office in any political party. He asked if that
included being a political party committee member?
The Board discussed this issue and determined that a member of the
Executive Committee of a political party committee could not, but
that a regular member of the political party could be .
Councilwoman Leary noted that if the Town Board is agreed the
qualifications of the Ethics Board Members mean that being a member
of the Democratic or Republican Town Committee is alright, but that
they shouldn ' t be an officer on those committees, then the wording
should be clarified in the law.
Attorney Barney explained the law does say "officials" .
Councilwoman Leary suggested the Local Law be amended to say "shall
be an officer" before the Ethics Committee recommends the names for
appointment to the Ethics Board .
Councilman Niklas suggested that an additional agenda item for the
August 24th meeting be to set a Public Hearing to amend the Ethics
Local Law and to give the Town Attorney the opportunity to review
the Local Law' s interpretation of "officials" .
Attorney Barney reiterated the Town Local Law does not define
"officials" as being officers of a political party. Officials
governed by this law as officials, are people related to the Town
of Ithaca by election or appointment.
Councilwoman Leary mentioned the Town Board may want to appoint
someone who is an official of a political party.

Councilman Niklas stated the issue has been added to the agenda for

question before then he can do so .
Attorney Barney agreed to research the State Law and inform the
Ethics Committee of his findings.
Motion was called to a vote by the Supervisor, carried unanimously.
AGENDA NO . 25 - APPOINTMENT TO CONSERVATION ADVISORY COUNCIL (CAC )
Supervisor Raffensperger explained there is a vacancy on the CAC
and the CAC has recommended the appointment of Richard James
Couture . The term of office would be the fulfillment of the term
of Ruth Hahr which ends on December 31 , 1992 .
Motion made by Supervisor Raffensperger appointing Richard James
Couture to the CAC to fill the unexpired term of Ruth Mahr which
ends on December 31, 1992 . Seconded by Councilman Niklas .
Councilman Niklas represented the Town Board when candidates were
interviewed for the Planning Board and the members of the Interview
Committee, the members of the Town Board who were present were very
impressed with Mr. Couture as an eager, bright, unsullied
individual .
Motion carried unanimously.
AGENDA ITEM NO . 26 - CONSERVATION CORPS ADDITIONAL HOURS
George Frantz , Assistant Town Planner explained the Summer Youth
who have been working on the South Hill Trail are interested in
working longer. The City Youth Bureau ' s original budget called for
125 hours per participant of which there are seven from the ages of
14 to 18 working .
There is still work to be done on the South Hill Trail . After
reviewing the South Hill Trail Budget some funds were found which
would enable the further employment of these youth .
Motion made by Councilwoman Valentino to ratify the decision for
the total number of hours for each participant in the Youth
Conservation Corp to 155 hours . Seconded by Councilman Niklas .
Carried unanimously.

SUBJECT: 253 Dubois Rd, Acct # B-4093 cc+Ff-
This memorandum is to explain what was done to this account on
2/12/92 .
Dan Walker called me on the telephone Feb. 11 , 1992 and had told
me to take Sewer off of this account and only bill them for Water
only from this point on . He explained that the customer had never
hooked-up to sewer and should have never been billed for it. Dan
then told me to only adjust the 12/91 bill and to credit Town of
Ithaca back for sewer charges ( only for that quarter) . Even though
the customer has been paying for sewer all along, he spoke with Dan
and agreed on only going back one quarter and adjusting.
This account is now being billed for Water only and will stay that
way unless customer hooks up to sewer in the future .
Note : Bolton Point records ( attached ) reflect the inspection of
a sewer connection on the date indicated.
