Call to Order and Pledge of Allegiance 2. Report of County Legislature and Common Council—None 3. Fire Commissioner's Quarterly Report—Bill Gilligan (Attachment#1) Mr. Gilligan reviewed the submitted reports. fie noted that the number of calls is higher than usual, but attributed that to the flooding and weather events experienced last quarter. Questions from the Board Mr. DePaolo stated that he was looking at the Incident Type comparison chart line 321, EMS calls excluding vehicle accident with injury, and that Mr. Gilligan had said some calls were being picked up by Bangs Ambulance and that this report reflects that change; Mr. DePaolo asked if those calls were reflected somewhere or if they could be. Mr. Gilligan explained that it depends on who the dispatch center calls to respond and they make that decision and he did not think it would be easy to find that out or track it. Mr. DePaolo asked if there was a way to see if it was positively affecting the budget, which he assumed was the impetus for the change. Mr. Gilligan did not think he could track any differences in cost since he believed the only cost factor would be a reduction in wear and tear on the equipment and fuel. Mr. Engman noted that the report mentions that building fires are up and he wondered if there was any indication as to why. Mr. Gilligan responded that he did not know but would ask at the Commissioners meeting the next night. Mr. Engman also asked about the reclassification of Ms. Sharp and whether her lieutenant position was going to be filled; Mr. Gilligan responded that it would not. there will be 8 Lieutenant positions instead of 9. 4. Persons to be Heard and Board comments Mr. Engman took this time to report on past comments and follow-up. He reported on recent movement by the State to allow localities to set their own speed limits and he asked the person disseminating some information on the topic if the Towns would be responsible for the Page 1 of 40 engineering surveys, traffic counts etc. The representative responded that she did not think that is the intent. Mr. Engman stated that it is unknown what will eventually come out in the legislation, but that he suspects it would only be for our own town roads and therefore the Town would be somewhat limited. He added that he has received a draft resolution in support of the legislation and he will send that out to the board. Mr. Engman also reported on the Coddington Road Community Center stating that he talked to the Director today who said that they are looking to expand and want to put a temporary building on the site while they plan and fundraise for a permanent building. She stated that they wanted to make sure there was nothing in our agreements to hinder that process. She added that she doesn't see the need for the Town to maintain the grounds because they would be doing that anyway and they would continue to allow access to the public as a community center. Mr. Engman thought that with that information we can continue to see what we have to do and discuss whatever actions we may need to take at another meeting. 5. 5:30 Public Hearing local laws that amend the Town of Ithaca Code to add references to "certificate of compliance" in most places where the words "certificate of occupancy" occur in the Code to conform with current New York State Building regulations Mr. Engman opened the public hearing at 5:50p.m. There was no one wishing to address the board and the hearing was closed. Ms. Brock noted that the actions are all SEQR Type 2, routine agency management actions, and do not require SEQR forms. Mr. Engman and Mr. Bates explained that this was discussed in the Codes and Ordinances Committee and is simply wording changes throughout the Code to match NYS regulations. Ms. Hunter asked if this was State-mandated and Mr. Bates explained that we are choosing to do this as we prepare for Municity and to keep our verbiage in-line with the State's verbiage. Ile noted that there is a difference between a certificate of compliance, which is issued for a non- building/structure type of work such as drainage, fill, demolition etc. and a certificate of occupancy which is for an occupied structure. Mr. DePaolo asked if there was a definition of a certificate of compliance because there is nothing in the proposed law(s) to add that. Ms. Brock and Mr. Bates looked at the Code and the term already exists in some places of the Code but there is no definition section or definition given of either certificate of occupancy or certificate of compliance but added that the State Building Code probably does have definitions and they would refer to those if needed. There was no motion to add a definition and the vote was called.

Discuss and consider resolution regarding funding for TCAT Bill explained that he added the resolved regarding making new deliverables for the contract because he assumed that Ms. Brock would say we needed deliverables but he knew Mr. DePaolo thought the matching grant would be the sufficient. Ms. Brock responded that she can not advise on this topic because she is the attorney for TCAT and the Board would need to seek advice from the other attorney for the Town. Mr. DePaolo responded that the question arises because Mr. Stein had said that that municipalities could put money towards mass transportation without having to define specific deliverables and it seems the most important thing was that there were contributions by other municipalities and adding deliverables on top of matching funds would make it more onerous than what we started with. Ms. Hunter asked Mr. Goodman for clarification on the matching; would we only give the $25K if they raised that in total or if they got $10K from one municipality, we would match that? Mr. Goodman responded that the intent was we would match whatever was raised up to $25K. Ms. Hunter asked if they could not raise any funds from other municipalities if we are closing the door to rethinking this and Mr. Goodman responded that the Board can always change its mind and do something different. Ms. Hunter asked if the intent then it so give a bit of a push to get this going and give TCAT something to take to other municipalities and Mr. Goodman responded that Mr. DePaolo had wanted to get something in writing and Mr. Solvig's idea of a match was talked about and it was decided to put it in writing. Page 18 of 40 He added that as far as he knew, nothing has been done anything to try and get funding from other municipalities or approached TCCOG which seems like the first logical step. Mr. Engman commented on the question of deliverables, and stated that our residents already pay county, state and federal taxes which support TCAT and any more we give would be in addition to that so we need to know what additional services we are getting for those additional funds. Going forward he would hope that we have deliverables over and above that which we are already paying for. He added that he is not a big fan of the matching idea simply because that is not the issue because we are already in it for $250K and have gotten nothing for it so he was not sure why we would be putting money in. He stated that he will vote for the resolution because he thought it was important to have the deliverables if we are going to expend the money. Mr. DePaolo asked how this hypothetical negotiation would take place without any parameters spelled out whatsoever in this resolution. Is the idea to pass this resolution and wait for TCAT to come to us? How is this going to work? Mr. Engman responded that his assumption is that TCAT is going to have to express some interest if they want to come to some sort of agreement and then we can appoint a committee and sit down with them to work out deliverables and then bring it back to the Board. Mr. Goodman responded that he thought Mr. DePaolo, Mr. Solvig and he should meet with them if they express interest and he will send them the resolution but the ball is in their court. TB Resolution No. 2014 - 086: Funding for Tompkins Consolidated Area Transit Whereas, the Town Board has provided Tompkins Consolidated Area Transit (TCAT)with $50,000.00 per year for five years from 2009 through 2013, upon the signing of an annual contract containing certain deliverables which remained the same for all five years; and Whereas, TCAT representatives had explained to the Town Board in 2008 that after they secured funding from the Town of Ithaca they would approach other local municipalities for funding as well, but no such additional funding has been obtained; and Whereas, the Town Board is interested in seeing financial support for TCAT come from more municipalities than it currently does; and Whereas, the Town Board believes that many of the deliverables contained in the prior contract are now outdated; and Whereas, the Town Board has adopted a budget for 2014 that contains a line item for TCAT of$ 25,000.00; now, therefore,be it Resolved, that after the negotiation and approval of a new annual contract containing new deliverables, the Town Board of the Town of Ithaca will provide TCAT with funding, up to $ 25,000.00, equal to the amount of funding they receive in 2014 from local municipalities other than Tompkins County and the City of Ithaca.

Moved: Tee Ann Hunter Seconded: Rod Howe Vote: Ayes—Hunter, Howe, Goodman, Leary, Levine, DePaolo, and Engman 17. Discuss and consider authorization to apply for a grant for sidewalk improvements in Forest Home Mr. Engman noted that this is essentially applying to a new source of funds for the same project that got rejected last time. Since we have a project "in hand" we thought we would put it in the pot and see if we got anything. Mr. DePaolo had questions about the actual conditions on the ground now and wondered if there is some sort of unofficial walkway that exists, sort of a beaten path along people's front yards in that area? Mr. Weber responded that there are some locations where there are physical sidewalks and others that are beaten paths. Mr. DePaolo went on to say that he knew we have applied for this before, but the potential match which looks to be about $180K or more which is not in the 2014 budget, so if we secured this grant, where would this money come from? Mr. Engman responded that he would ask certain local employers nearby to make a substantial contribution to it to reduce the amount and the rest would come out of fund balance. Mr. Weber added that because we would have to follow the same process with the Page 32 of 40 state, that by the time we got done with design, scoping, securing rights-of-way, construction probably wouldn't occur for 4-5 years. There are a number of questions regarding the rights-of- way and use-by-rights etc. Mr. DePaolo went on to say that this potential expense when compared to the discretionary funding cuts we are considering, it seems like a lot of money and even if it is in 5 years, we don't know if we can pay for it. This is essentially saying that we can cut youth employment to pay for sidewalks in Forest Home. Mr. Engman responded that he did not think it was and either/or. We have to take action to reduce our spending now but the only way we have ever built any sidewalks or walkways is through grants and some of them require a match. He didn't know how we can get anything done if we don't apply for grants and the other option is to let the Town sit as it is and that isn't viable either. Mr. DePaolo stated that his only concern is that this project appears to be somewhat parochial and Forest Home has received a lot of love over the last few years and that is because they are a very organized community and they come to the Town with more resources than a lot of other areas of the Town and maybe that is the reason we have a project that is ready to seek funding for, but he is concerned that when we are talking about cuts that affect residents town-wide and we are potentially funneling money to an area that has already received a lot of attention, he worries that it sends the wrong message and the only question he had in looking at the project itself was the repair of the walls were mentioned as part of the projects and the issue of who owns what there hasn't been solved to his knowledge. Mr. Weber agreed, stating that it hasn't been resolved and that's where the rights-of- way discussions come into play and a lot of those will come into play during the design phase. Mr. DePaolo was concerned that the repair of the wall is in the resolution and grant and we have no idea if that will be allowed by the owners of the property. Mr. DePaolo went back to Mr. Engman's statement about asking for funds from the large employer and thought maybe that conversation should take place first given that the deadline isn't until June 7`h. Mr. Engman responded that we would not get an answer that fast; they still have a very convoluted system in place where anything over $50K has to go to their Board of Trustees so it would take quite a while to find out if they would be able to make a promise of funding. He added that he did not think the residents will fight this so the costs shouldn't be anywhere near what is quoted for the rights-of-way acquisitions. The State tells us exactly how we must go about getting the rights-of-way and we can't start ahead of time to do that, but it won't be as much as stated. Mr. Weber added that the amount is based on a set formula set by the State. Discussion followed on taking out the authorization to enter into agreements or contracts with DOT and leave in simply applying for the grant. The board agreed with the change. TB Resolution No. 2014 -094: Authorization to apply for funding through the Transportation Alternatives Program for a Walkway along a Portion of Forest Home Drive Whereas, the New York State Department of Transportation (NYSDOT)has announced the availability of funding under the federal Transportation Alternatives Program (TAP), which includes categories for the"construction, planning and design of on-road and off-road facilities for pedestrians, bicyclists and other non-motorized forms of transportations" and for the "construction, planning and design of infrastructure-related projects to provide safe routes for non-drivers to access daily needs", and Page 33 of 40 Whereas, the assistance toward the cost of the project shall not exceed 80% of the approved total project costs, and Whereas, the Town of Ithaca's adopted Transportation Plan (2007) and the Forest Home Traffic Calming Plan (2007) both recommend a walkway along Forest Home Drive, including the section between the upstream and downstream bridges and between the downstream bridge and the Byway, and Whereas, the Town estimates the total cost to be $898,405 for the design, right-of-way acquisition, and construction of a +/-0.25 mile walkway along the north side of Forest Home Drive,outlined further in the application for this walkway, and Whereas, grant applications are due by June 11, 2014, now, therefore, be it Resolved, that the Supervisor of the Town of Ithaca is hereby authorized and directed to file an application for funds from NYSDOT in accordance with the provisions of the Transportation Alternatives Program, in an amount not to exceed $898,405 for a walkway along Forest Home Drive.

Report of Town Officials Mr. Bates reported that his monthly reports will be changing with Municity and if there is something the Board would like to see in a report to please let him know. Mr. Bates also reported on the recent parties on Kendall Ave and the litter and broken glass etc. that was left. He didn't know what could be done about it,but he wanted the Board to be aware of the aftermath. Discussion followed on ways the Town could contract with the various law enforcement agencies and possible per diem contracts for popular weekends. Enforcement is an issue because they are rentals and who do you charge. The owner can say it was the kids across the street and so on and so on. The need for the College to work with the community regarding these types of problems is important but on the other hand, to them, the attractiveness of a college to students is the "social"life so the they don't push this. The College/Community Committee still happens but they could do a lot more. It is not only Kendall Ave, it is throughout the area and the associated costs to the community for policing and clean-up is significant. Mr. Engman will contact the Sheriffs Department with our concerns. 22. Report of Town Committees and Intermunicipal Organizations Ms. Hunter reported that she and Mr. Engman talked to NYS regarding the grant we accepted 2009 and discussed the concerns about the deliverables being too large for the amount of money given. Representatives are going to try and come down and meet in person but she felt that they wanted us to apply for a grant for the administrative tasks of the IO and she would like to do that with some help. There is a local match component but historically in-kind services have been acceptable. If this is going to continue, we need staff or we need to let it go. This is a big lake with a lot of municipalities involved and having it as someone's ancillary task hasn't worked in the past. Ms. Hunter said she has others willing to get the paperwork going but she was concerned about getting it done in time given her vacation scheduled and Mr. Engman stated that he would try and help when he got back from his vacation. 23. Review of Correspondence 24. Consider Adjournment Meeting was adjourned upon motion and a second at 7:35 p.m. Respe2Teilliger tted by Paulet Town Clerk Page 40 of 40 s/I�P1 fO�V%-e�t 1 Board of Fire Commissioners Report to Ithaca Town Board May 12,2014 The following is a summary of the Board of Fire Commissioners quarterly report to the Ithaca Town Board for the first quarter of 2014. Included with this report are: • The Fire Chief's Report given at the April 8,2014 BFC meeting.This includes the Fire Marshal's Report&Fire Prevention Bureau activity. • The department call activity reports for January 1-March 31,2014. • The financial operations summary through March 31,2014. Fire Department Operational Staffing(Mar 31,2014). • As of March.31,2014 the active Fire Fighting staffing totaled 60(on duty staffing- 1 Chief, 5 Assistant Chiefs,9 lieutenants,&44 Fire Fighters)plus 1 Deputy Chief on per diem. As of April 1,2014 one of the lieutenants positions has been reclassified to an Assistant Chief Position and Gillian Haines Sharp has been promoted into this position which will be the Fire Marshall for the Department. • The Department will continue to cover a portion of the Deputy Fire Chief s duties on a per diem basis for 2014. • There is 1 additional firefighter vacancy remaining to be filled. This will be filled from the recently received list of eligible candidates. Capital Projects No updates. Equipment The department has acquired a RIB(rigid inflatable boat)that will be used in water rescue efforts. A number of the career staff completed a swift water rescue training class in April. 2014 Fire Department Budget- The department is essentially on track in the first quarter for operating expenditures including the amount budgeted for overtime. Equipment maintenance is running slightly higher than budget in the first quarter. Board Agendas&Minutes for 2014 The BFC meeting agendas and minutes have been posted on the City Website.Agenda's for meetings in 2014 can be found at: http://www.e�ovIink.com/ithaca/docs/menu/home.asp?path--/pubiic do_cuments300/ithac a/published_documents/Agendas Volunteer Program Development We have 2 new volunteers who are in the process of becoming active members in the department. We anticipate that they will become Class 1-Interior firefighters. The Fire Police hold monthly training sessions and the interior volunteers participate in training with the career staff. Assistant Chief Tracy has developed an annual training schedule for both groups and is working on developing new member training for volunteers. It is expected that this training will be done in conjunction with various state and county training programs. BFC Town Board Report May 12,2014 A draft volunteer handbook has been prepared and an effort is underway for a more active recruitment campaign to begin in the spring of 2014. A federal grant proposal was submitted in 2013 to revitalize the bunker/volunteer system. This grant was not approved. It is expected that a new grant will be submitted as part of the 2014 cycle. Other Items&Items in prowess: 1 The department call activity was somewhat higher for the first quarter compared to previous years including a high(19)number of building fires during this period. Anew protocol is in place with the 911 center to potentially reduce the number of EMS calls that the department is asked to respond to,along with Bangs ambulance service. 2 The 1896 American LaFance Steamer,which is housed at the Vet Fireman's facility on the Elmira Road,was part of the St.Patrick's day parade in Binghamton in March. The Ithaca Fire Fighters Union arranged and paid for a team of horses to pull the steamer in the parade. 3 Charter Review-the BFC continues to review and discuss changes in the charter relating to the role and responsibilities of the Board of Fire Commissioners. We anticipate working with the Common Council's City Administration committee on this issue. 4 Resource recovery/False Alarm Policy—Currently on hold following preliminary review with the City Attorney. 5 County Fire-Disaster—EMS Advisory Board no new action on this issue. 6 Training Center Facility Project- this is still under consideration,no construction has been authorized due to the training site being located on land designated as City Park land. 7 City-Town Fire Service Contract- The Board of Fire Commissioners is concerned about the organizational impact and impact on the Community served by the Ithaca Fire Department if there is a significant change in the current agreement between the City and the Town. 8 There is a vacancy on the Board as of January 2014.

I fowever, our apparatus maintenance and equipment costs are running higher than anticipated because of some major Nvork required on some of our apparatus. All other accounts appear to be on, or a head of budget projections. C) Capital Budget: No Report 3) County Communications and 911 Programs: a) In January. I provided Tompkins County's 911 Center with updated response plans. with modifications to certain types of calls. As of a meeting last week those plans haven't been implemented. We were given an estimate of approximately 2 months to implement the changes. 4) Grants and Donations a) Same as Previous Report- On November 6"i, 2013, I submitted an application for the Assistance to Firefighters Grant (AFG).

For every question in Part 2 that was answered"moderate to large impact may occur",or if there is a need to explain why a particular element of the proposed action may or will not result in a significant adverse environmental impact,please complete Part 3. Part 3 should,in sufficient detail,identify the impact,including any measures or design elements that have been included by the project sponsor to avoid or reduce impacts. Part 3 should also explain how the lead agency determined that the impact may or will not be significant.Each potential impact should be assessed considering its setting,probability of occurring, duration,irreversibility,geographic scope and magnitude. Also consider the potential for short-term,long-term and cumulative impacts. The proposal involves the Ithaca Town Board enacting a local law to amend Chapter 271 of the Town of Ithaca Code to allow seasonal camping facilities at the La Tourelle Resort(Planned Development Zone No.1). The project involves adding on the hotel grounds up to 25 seasonal luxury tents for overnight lodging,a commons tent,an outdoor wood burning fire circle,a hot tub,and propane grills. The project also includes the conversion of of the existing tennis cottage for bathrooms,showers and office space. While most of the individual tents will be scattered in the woods on the western edge of the La Tourelle property,the commons tent, bathroom facilities and parking will occur on existing tennis court areas and other developed portions of the site. There are three ponds on the property and a stream along the southern edge of the property. The property is not located within any Unique Natural Areas. While question 13a in Part 1 is answered"no"by the applicant,the NYSDEC Mapper answers this"yes". While there are three ponds on the property and a stream along the southern edge of the property,none of these are regulated by a federal,state,or local agency. There are protected streams to the north(unnamed)and west(Buttermilk Creek)of the property,but they are over 1,200 feet from the project area and should not be impacted by the project. While question 15 in Part 1 is answered"no"by the applicant,the NYSDEC Mapper answers this"yes". The New York Nature Explorer identifies one plant(Glaucous Sedge,2000,Threatened)and one animal(Gray Petaltail,2012,Special Concern)that have been recently confirmed in this general area. The glaucous sedge occurs in wet to dry-mesic deciduous forests and old fields. It occurs on the edges of seasonal swamps and in seasonally wet depressions in more open environments. The general habitat of the gray petaltail can be described as hillside seeps and fens in areas of deciduous forest. In New York,all known populations are found at rocky gorges and glens with deciduous or mixed forests(NYNHP Conservation Guide). While these habitats could occur on the western side of the property,it is unlikely the scattered tents will negatively impacts these species. Check this box if you have determined,based on the information and analysis above,and any supporting documentation, that the proposed action may result in one or more potentially large or significant adverse impacts and an environmental impact statement is required. ❑— Check this box if you have determined,based on the information and analysis above,and any supporting documentation, that the proposed action will not result in any significant adverse environmental impacts.
