¢F Meeting of the Ithaca Town Board 4 �' Monday,November 10, at 5:30 p.m. „a, F gf7 215 North Tioga Street, Ithaca, NY 14850 Minutes Board Members Present: Herb Engman, Supervisor; Bill Goodman, Deputy Town Supervisor; Pat Leary, Tee-Ann Hunter, Eric Levine, Rich DePaolo, and Rod Howe Staff Present: Susan Ritter, Director of Planning, Bruce Bates, Director of Code Enforcement; Mike Solvig, Director of Finance, Judy Drake, Director of Human Resources; Paulette Terwilliger, Town Clerk; Jim Weber, Highway Superintendent and Susan Brock, Attorney for the Town Agenda Item 1 Call to Order and Pledge of Allegiance Mr. Engman called the meeting to order at 5:36 p.m. Agenda Item 2 Report of Tompkins County Legislature and Ithaca Common Council None Agenda Item 3 Board of Fire Commissioner's Quarterly Report(Attachment#1) Mr. Gilligan reviewed his submitted report. Agenda Item 4 Persons to be Heard and Board Comments a. Maguire Presentation Mr. Maguire and Mr. Schickel handed out revised presentation materials. (Attachment 2) Mr. Maguire reviewed the materials which focused on more detailed information on acreage, costs, tax revenue and pictures of the layout which incorporates a lot of green ideas. He knew the town was concerned about the visual impacts and there are a lot of park-like campus concepts with flowering meadows and the expanded park to make the development more inviting and beautiful. There are negotiations for a trail connecting to Tutelo Park as well as an additional park land donation to expand the acreage of the Saponi Meadows Park. There would be three buildings, two retail buildings and a corporate building as well as a conceptual cafe. The retail of Chevy Cadillac in Lansing would become a hotel and move to downtown which would spur the renovation of the city properties, the Lansing property and the town development. There would be cherry and apple orchards and vineyards interspersed throughout the property in the town and a repair shop built into the hill with a green roof, adding a significant amount of agriculture to the land. The amount of lot coverage would be significantly less than what is allowed in a neighborhood commercial zone with 40% open space and that is not including the donated land. There would be approximately 1,000 parking spots for vehicles both staff and retail slots. Page 11 Mr. Maguire stressed the positive impact of spurring development on the corridor which now has a number of distressed or defunct businesses right now. This would be a multi-million dollar project and would spur other business growth with the Maguire and Ithaca Beer as the anchors. Mr. Maguire added that there would be a loop road throughout the dealership and test drives would be routed away from Bostwick Rd. to diminish impacts on the residential end of Seven Mile Dr. With the improvement and expansion of Saponi Park there would be recreation available for the mobile home park and residential area nearby. There was some discussion on the financial impact above the initial construction which includes approximately 50 new jobs with an average wage of$44K yearly, sales tax revenue from sales of cars and repairs which is approximately$80M. Property tax is estimated at $200K a year. Board members questioned whether sales tax stays in the town for car sales and it was explained that sales tax for cars sales stay in the municipality where the vehicle is registered but there is a lot of sales tax associated with the labor and repair functions of the dealership and it was their understanding that the town would get about 30% of that. Mr. Maguire stated that time is of the essence here because of the multiple lots and purchase agreements with contingencies and so forth so they are asking for a commitment in December on whether to move forward. Mr. Engman stated that it seems what the board needs to do tonight is to give some indication on whether it is worth spending more time and money on this or whether there is sufficient opposition on the town board that under no circumstances would you want to see this go forward; then we would know that we need to stop. So, we need to get our questions answered to see if we should at least continue to consider it until the December meeting. There is no real decision tonight. Mr. DePaolo asked a clarifying question noting that at the Planning Committee, the senior Maguire indicated that the gross annual sales were $200M and 30%would be generated by this site which would come out to about$60M not $80M. Mr. Maguire responded that they expect to do more business with the expansion and the addition of the two dealerships and expanded space to increase the used inventory of the existing brands. Mr. DePaolo asked about their understanding of the flow of sales tax from auto sales and Mr. Maguire confirmed that registration accounts for about a third of total sales tax, the remaining would be other revenue streams. Mr. DePaolo stated that it would be helpful for him to see those types of numbers broken down. Mr. DePaolo also stated that the amount of attention this has gotten in such a short time is unprecedented and he is uncomfortable with a project of this magnitude being fast tracked to the point where even if we don't vote on it, we are being asked to give some sort of tacit approval so that real estate transactions over which we have not control or interest, can take place behind the scenes. He is uncomfortable with the schedule that they are asking the board to adhere to. There is a lot more information that needs to be ferreted out and although he appreciates the amount of information they have given, we are talking about 46 acres, millions of dollars, implications on Page 12 our Comprehensive Plan and zoning and he thinks that trying to envision that this could happen within a month's time is presumptuous. Ms. Leary talked about the brands and if she has some sense that there would be more people from the area shopping at the expansion. Mr. Maguire again explained that the other transactions such as parts and services are what generate the majority of the sales tax revenue but with that, with the expansion there would probably be some increase of local buyers finding what they want here as opposed to Syracuse. Ms. Leary commented that she thought this is economic development on the kind of scale we need here; these are not small boutique shops, this is the kind of economic development the area needs. Ms. Hunter asked how many vehicles they anticipate being kept on this site and Mr. Maguire responded that there are a little over 1,000 parking spaces are drawn on the designs which includes the corporate offices. Ms. Hunter asked about the depictions of the dealership facades and in our new zoning we are considering some architectural standards with some more natural look materials and she asked about the flexibility in those. Mr. Maguire stated that franchise designs have to abide by the municipal zoning and the brands are used to dealing with a wide variety of zoning restrictions. They do have certain requirements for square footage,but architectural designs are up to the area. Mr. Maguire added that they have focused on the outside setting and being more like a park than the buildings themselves at this conceptual point. Ms. Hunter asked if they would be seeking tax credits and Mr. Maguire responded that their intent is to expand their business because they have outgrown all their sites and there isn't any real estate available downtown and they want to upgrade their facilities and continue to grow and do it in a tasteful,park-like way. Mr. Levine asked if they could clarify what the visual impact might be from Rte. 13; is it going to be 1,000 cars and some trees or are you really going to have to drive on to the campus in order to see most of the cars? Mr. Schickel used the boards to describe the layout saying that they are doing smaller scale parking in the front with more cars way onto the site before you see them utilizing the loop road for the frontage but masked from Rte. 13. The idea is that you would see the vineyard setting from Rte. 13 with some diaphanous view of the cars but the impression would be green area, not cars. He went on to say that this is a huge site and the entire Maguire site currently is 11 acres which is a tiny portion of this site which is what will allow for the park- like setting and pushing the cars back from the road and screening them and having a customer friendly environment and destination retail location. Mr. Goodman stated that some of the newer ideas presented tonight are intriguing and there will have to be another committee meeting where he will ask some more detailed questions at but he is interested in pursuing options further but echoed what Mr. DePaolo said and wanted to make sure that Mr. Maguire is aware that usually there would be a number of months of committee meetings where details would be hashed out so while they might be able to get a sense of where the majority of the board may be at in terms of moving forward, he did not see a way that the board could actually vote on anything in December and it would take quite a while to work out details before any kind of public hearing. Page 13 Mr. Howe agreed and added that we have just started discussions on what some economic opportunities would be in this valley and this is not really what we were imagining but there are enough interesting things that you are trying to put into the mix like green aspects and agriculture and we know there are some struggling businesses there right now, so we have to look at the entire context of that valley but he is willing to continue to be open as well and we should have another Economic Development meeting. He went on to say the time line will be what it is and at this point, he felt they were asking for a quick read from the board. Mr. Engman asked about the two areas on either side of the office building that are labeled "future development" and he asked what that would be. Mr. Maguire responded that he does not know but that is figured into the lot coverage of 60% of buildings and pavements so it wouldn't increase that number it just hasn't been figured out yet. He thought they would be more business or corporate, not car retail. Mr. Engman commented that this certainly wouldn't have been an idea that he would have come up with for that area, simply because it has never come under our radar before but in addition to the positive things they have mentioned, one of his considerations is the future health of the entire area. He did not see much of a future for motels in that area because of the massive number of new rooms being constructed in the city and Lansing and he couldn't envision what would happen over the next 20-30 years that would happen to the area that would be more positive than this possibility. So as Mr. Goodman, Howe and Ms. Leary have said, he was open to these discussions but added that they probably had some experience dealing with other governments and traditionally we can't move as fast as what it seems you are anticipating, but he thought by December we might have a reasonably good idea as to whether this has legs and whether we should continue but beyond that is problematic. For one, we have to have either rezoning or a PDZ which would need a public hearing,plus we would have to de-park the park even though it is being expanded. The town is not allowed to just change parks,we have to go to the state and ask them to change it even when it is an extension of an existing park. None of that is impossible, it just takes time. He added that one of the things that would be helpful would be for the presenters to think about what kind of decisions they need, whether it is the actual changing of these things or whether it is a clear intent that they can be changed and will be changed if at all possible. Mr. Engman went on to say that he and other staff walked the area last week and there is a very wet area that would need a massive fill and he wondered if that has been thought o£ Mr. Schickel responded that that is an unnatural accumulation of water in the sense that it is there because the highway was built through that by building a bank and trapping the water. They were anticipating that it would be filled in and drain back to the north. There aren't a lot of tributaries there it is just a natural sink hole that has been filled in over time. Mr. Maguire added that there is some wet land behind the old Resnick Mattress lot which is undeveloped on their plan. Ms. Leary asked about the green roof and whether that was a public area and Mr. Maguire responded that they envision much of the building hidden in the hill and the orchard up there. Ms. Hunter stated that she understands that it has been made clear to them what the vision has been for the area and she is not convinced that 1,000 automobiles and an apple orchard are not necessarily compatible so she would need some real convincing on that and she thought the board might be a little foolhardy to think that this is going to be less than a major impact. It might have a little bit of park-like atmosphere but vigorous agriculture is not going to make it Page 4 and that is a concern. She also stated that lighting is a concern for her, thinking that there will be lights on all night to protect the cars.... Mr. Maguire responded that there are motion censored lights and they will dim and light according to the need. He also added that the agriculture theme was added based on feedback they have received and he and his wife own a vineyard and they grow much better than trees and he felt sure they would survive. He also thought some of the added acreage to Saponi Park could be a community garden for the nearby residences. Right now that acreage is a cornfield and Mr. Eddy has told him that he plants that just to keep the property in a farm status until they can find a buyer for it. Mr. Eddy also has concerns about the spraying that he does need to do to protect his crops around the homes and children currently there and the motels. Ms. Leary spoke again saying that the town of Ithaca is about more than agriculture so the fact that this is not necessarily compatible with agriculture doesn't bother her. She thought the automotive industry has a great future for self-driving vehicles and driver-assisted vehicles that will open up mobility to disabled people so she didn't think that we should be so narrowly focused on one aspect of what we have all been interested in which is agriculture and green and open space. This is commercial activity and she felt that we should encourage it. Mr. Schickel added that he neglected to show the parcels that they are asking to be rezoned, and their feeling was that it is largely compatible to the Comprehensive Plan to allow Neighborhood Commercial as opposed to Industrial and where the hotels are, behind that is light industrial so if it wasn't zoned anything right now, what would it be zoned as right now... they are suggesting that the area between Seven Mile Dr and Five Mile Dr be rezoned Neighborhood Commercial and allow automobile franchises in a NC zone with the difference being the "franchise" so a lot of small used car lines don't pop up. Ms. Ritter spoke saying that the proposal is not consistent with the Comprehensive Plan because our vision was to rezone that Light Industrial (LI) to some sort of use that would be more accommodating to Elmira Rd and makes more sense to the area and we had just begun the process of trying to figure out what that was. Our plan was to meet with some of the businesses on Elmira Rd and see what would make sense in this area to be consistent with the Comprehensive Plan so this is jumping way ahead and one of the first things we would have to do if we were considering rezoning is to reimagine, revision, what we want for Elmira Rd and we would have to modify the Comprehensive Plan and revisit SEQR, she would assume, so she wanted to say, in terms of process, there would be no public hearing with a vote in December; the first public hearing we would have would be when we are revising the Comprehensive Plan and then future public hearings associated with the SEQR process and then the rezoning and then the Planning Board but this process, with the Town Board making some kind of.... This kind of conversation about making such a significant change to Elmira Rd is not really involving the public at this time and we need to engage the public in this process. Mr. Engman responded that we have not even had the time to have a discussion on whether or not we agree with that interpretation. It may well be that the Board decides it is compatible with the Comprehensive Plan, we just haven't had those conversations yet and we would have to have those first; everyone has their own interpretation. Mr. Engman stated that he thought what he has heard is that there is a majority of the Town Board that says we think this has enough possibility to go ahead and it is worth spending some Page 15 more time on. The question of timing is one that is going to have to be worked on a bit in the next couple of weeks to try and figure out a timeline and see if that works for everybody but the fact is that nobody thought of this possibility during the Comprehensive Plan process or the rezoning process so we are dealing with something that is too new to have a clear answer right now but he is reading the majority of the town board as saying, yes, it is worth spending some more time on and see what we can do in the next few weeks. That was his interpretation. b. Coddington Road Community Center—No one present. Mr. Engman explained that the question is that earlier this year we heard from the CRCC that they were fine with discontinuing our$6,800 contribution, outside the summer contribution which is paid for through the JYC, this is for the use of the ballpark and other facilities and we have an agreement for that use and we have agreed to maintain those facilities; the question of a payment is a negotiated one on a yearly basis and that is the question as to whether we want to continue that or whether we want to cut it as was proposed etc. We do have an easement and at one point we thought that was going to be compromised due to some construction but that isn't the case any more. Mr. Engman put the topic off until the budget discussion later. Persons to be Heard Jonathan, re. the Learning Web (Attachment 3) The young man read his prepared statement urging the board to continue full funding for the Learning Web Board Comments Mr. DePaolo wanted to add some closure to the discussion with the Maguire's. He stated that he thinks we are in a dangerous territory when we create the impression that a majority of the board is predisposed to approving anything, particularly of this magnitude and he takes exception to having our Planning Director and Attorney's interpretation of our Comprehensive Plan and its applicability in this case questioned before the applicant. He went on to say that he does not understand what the rush is and why professional judgment has to be questioned, in public, in front of an applicant who has been moved, for some reason, to the front of the line. He did not understand why we seem to be willing to make exceptions in this case when there are any number of things we should be paying attention to. Ms. Leary responded that she disagrees with that interpretation. She stated that the opinions expressed by staff are opinions, not policy, we make policy and she does not think that it is appropriate for us to be told that our hands are tied, we can't move forward. We make that decision. Mr. DePaolo responded that there are certain legal ramifications, that is what he is saying. We can interpret all we want, but he thinks that is a discussion that has to be had and he thought it was a little presumptuous and premature to be creating the impression that a majority of this board is going to be in favor of something moving forward given the little information that we have. You are talking about, no matter how you dress it up, you are talking about a massive car dealership. You can put it on a green map, you can put cherry orchards etc. but let's call it what it is, let's not play this game, again. Let's not be green-washed again. This is a huge car dealership and if that's what you want in that area of Rte. 13, then by all means, vote for it, make it happen. But let's not pretend that it is anything other than what it really is. Page 16 Ms. Leary responded that the whole point of the Comprehensive Plan is not to anticipate every possible opportunity that comes our way until the Plan is revised again in 20 years. It is not supposed to tie our hands; it is a guide. That's why we tried to avoid being very specific about things and we said over and over again that we can't anticipate every possibility and this is an opportunity and she did not think that we should let it go because nobody thought of it and it's not specifically allowed in the Comprehensive Plan. The Comprehensive Plan was designed to be flexible enough for us to seize opportunities as long as we can justify something in a broader context. Ms. Hunter responded that she wouldn't characterize this as an opportunity; this is a proposed project, a significantly impactful proposed project. It needs to be openly and thoroughly vetted in front of the public. We need to do SEQR and many things, the process for which is state mandated and not under our control. We have taken an oath of office to uphold state law and our own laws and she intends to do that and hopes all others intend to do that. She went on to say that she would certainly hope that we would not seek ways to bend that or walk around it to expedite an incredibly impactful proposal Mr. Levine spoke saying that he did not think that Mr. Engman was giving them the impression that a majority of the town board would be in favor of it, he thought that the question that he asked in the beginning was that whether staff and the board should be spending any more time talking about and he would definitely take offense if he was cast into a majority of people who were in favor of it at this time. He stated that he is in favor of learning more about it and that is all that he thought just happened there and he is hope that is true. Mr. Engman said, yes, and he wanted to add that nobody is suggesting cutting any corners or breaking any laws or doing anything else; all he said was what was the case, that we haven't had a chance to talk about some of these issues yet and we have to talk about them and we can talk about it for the next few weeks and then in December we will have to decided where we go from there but we simply haven't had much of a discussion on these things. We have had a couple of presentations trying to get an idea of what they have in mind and then getting an idea as to whether people think this is worthwhile to even continue having a discussion. It is only the discussion that is continuing; no commitments made or short cuts proposed but rather that we need to figure out what we want to do and that will take a few more weeks of discussion to even get the slightest idea of how we want to proceed on this. Agenda Item 5 Consider approval and authorization for the Supervisor to sign a User Agreement regarding the NYS Route 13 Water Main Crossing Water Improvement Project TB Resolution No. 2014- 175: Approval of the Village of Lansing-Southern Cayuga Lake Water Commission & its Member Municipalities-Joint Intermunicipal Water Main Agreement Regarding the NYS Route 13 Water Main Crossing Whereas, on June 23, 2014, the Town Board of the Town of Ithaca passed TB Resolution No. 2014-115, which adopted a Public Interest Order establishing the NYS Route 13 Water Main Crossing Water Improvement and Water Improvement Area, and which resolution was subject to permissive referendum, and Page 17 Whereas, the resolution took effect 30 days after its adoption because no petition protesting against the resolution and requesting a referendum by the Town's electors was filed with the Town Clerk within 30 days of its adoption, and Whereas, the Public Interest Order stated that the Water Improvement would be constructed and owned by the Village of Lansing and used by the Southern Cayuga Lake Intermunicipal Water Commission (SCLIWC) on a temporary emergency basis whenever SCLIWC could not use its existing water main under NYS Route 13, and Whereas, the Public Interest Order further stated the Water Improvement would be subject to a use agreement between the SCLIWC members and the Village of Lansing, which agreement would apportion the expenses of construction of the project between the SCLIWC members and the Village of Lansing, and Whereas, a proposed Village of Lansing-Southern Cayuga Lake Water Commission & its Member Municipalities-Joint Intermunicipal Water Main Agreement regarding the NYS Route 13 water main crossing has been provided to the Town of Ithaca and other parties, now therefore be it Resolved, that the Town Board of the Town of Ithaca does hereby approve, and authorizes the Town Supervisor to sign, the Village of Lansing-Southern Cayuga Lake Water Commission& its Member Municipalities-Joint Intermunicipal Water Main Agreement on behalf of the Town, subject to the approval of the Attorney for the Town. Moved: Bill Goodman Seconded: Rich DePaolo Vote: Ayes—Goodman, DePaolo, Engman, Leary, Levine, Hunter and Howe Agenda Item 12 Moved up Discuss and consider authorization for a barn on the Ferguson farm property's conservation easement TB Resolution No. 2014- 176 : Permission for New Barn to be Constructed within the Ferguson Agricultural Conservation Easement Whereas, the Town of Ithaca holds an Agricultural Conservation Easement(ACE) on approximately 42 acres on the east side of Sheffield Road approximately 285 feet south of Mecklenburg Road(Town of Ithaca Tax Parcel No. 28.-1-1.3); and Whereas, Section 6.2.0 (Agricultural Buildings & Improvements) of the ACE allows the construction of new buildings for agricultural purposes within the Farm Area, with the advance written permission of the Town of Ithaca,unless the Town determines that the proposed building would be unnecessarily located on prime,unique and/or statewide or locally important soils, or would otherwise diminish the agricultural viability or forestry uses of the property; and Whereas, Section 8.7 (Approvals and Consents) of the ACE states that any permissions given by the Town shall only be effective if in writing and that permission shall mean the consent of the Town of Ithaca Town Board; and Page 18 Whereas, Lisa and Gary Ferguson (Laughing Goat Fiber Farm), the current landowner, has notified the Town that they would like to construct a new 28' x 80' barn on the property; and Whereas, the landowner has provided sufficient information and details to the Town Board regarding the project; now, therefore, be it Resolved, the Town Board of the Town of Ithaca determines that the barn will not be unnecessarily located on prime, unique and/or statewide or locally important soils, because almost the entire property on which the ACE exists is classified as "Farmland of Statewide Importance," so there is not any practical location for the barn that is not on agricultural soils; and be it further Resolved, the Town Board of the Town of Ithaca further determines that the proposed location of the barn does not diminish the agricultural viability or forestry uses of the property, given the barn's proposed location at the very northern edge of the property, close to the owners' house and other farm facilities, and on the very edge of a field; and be it further Resolved, the Town Board of the Town of Ithaca grants permission for a new barn to be constructed on Tax Parcel No. 28.-1-1.3 within the Ferguson Agricultural Conservation Easement, on the condition that the barn be built, and it be located, substantially as indicated in the documents the owners submitted to the Town Board. Moved: Rod Howe Seconded: Rich DePaolo Vote: Ayes—Howe, DePaolo, Levine, Hunter, Leary, Engman and Goodman Agenda Item 6 Consider the adoption of the 2015 Town of Ithaca Budget Mr. Engman noted that Mr. Solvig has provided a summary of the changes so far and the outstanding issues seem to be the Coddington Road Community Center and the Learning Web. Mr. DePaolo stated that as he understood it, the proposed cut to the Learning Web was made in consideration of our long-term financial picture but also due to a partial misconception about how our funding was being used by Learning Web and he thinks that given that the Forest Home Walkway grant did not come through and we now have a decrease of$14K we could restore partial funding to the Learning Web without changing the tax levy or rate or drawing down fund balance so given all those things, although it would still be a cut that he is not in favor of, this is a compromise at this stage in the process. Mr. DePaolo moved to allocate $14K to Learning Web to reinstate half of the proposed cut, seconded by Mr. Levine. Discussion Ms. Leary asked what happens to the Forest Home Walkway now and Mr. Engman responded that we will apply again to the next source and see what happens. He added that we are not very competitive since this one goes through a neighborhood and even though it is heavily used, others are safe routes to schools, in commercial areas etc. so we will just keep trying. Mr. Levine spoke in support of the motion saying that when these cuts were discussed, a main criteria of them was that it is money being spent where town residents don't see anything different than the rest of the county sees so we are paying extra for nothing but that is not the Page 19 case here. The money is going directly to town residents and Mr. Levine stated that he is in favor of not cutting any of it but at least the $14K. Mr. DePaolo asked if he was offering an amendment to the resolution and Mr. Levine responded that since it is all going back to town residents it doesn't fit the criteria of the cuts. There is so much that we spend that residents don't see and this goes directly to them. He didn't know where the money would be coming from if it went back to the full amount and Mr. DePaolo responded that it is explained in the memo from Mr. Solvig but keeping it at $14K leaves us at the point we were at the last meeting. Mr. Engman asked if what he is hearing is that Mr. Levine is in favor of restoring full funding and Mr. DePaolo stated that he would consider that a friendly amendment to make the motion on the table to be restoration of the entire 2014 to the Learning Web. Mr. Solvig stated that from the memo from the JYC,the amount to restore full funding would be $27,970. Mr. Goodman stated that last time he voted against making restorations because the board had not identified where the funds would come from but now that the $60K is coming back from the walkway, he was willing to restore the $14K but not the full amount given that we did cut the City Parks and the Library to 75% and the additional $14 would be about 75% funding for the Learning Web. He also wanted to reiterate that all these youth programs are so confusing and he hoped that this coming year we will have a committee really look at these programs and where the money is going. Ms. Hunter stated that as much as she wants to restore full funding, she does not want it to come out of fund balance saying that she would find other sources or cuts to get the funds but she does agree that this money goes directly to youth and she would also like to learn exactly where the money is going to as well as comparing ourselves to other municipalities in the region because if we are going to grow as expected, we have to pay attention to youth and recreation also. Mr. Engman stated that in addition to the criteria mentioned by Mr. Levine, the other was that we simply have to start saving some money and the two largest amounts giver were to the Learning Web and the City Parks and he feels it is appropriate to allocate something less than the full amount. He added that a few years ago we cut Learning Web by$l OK and we never heard that it had negative consequences to their operations so he did not feel that the partial cut would be terribly detrimental and he urged the board to vote no on the amendment and consider a more appropriate amount of money. Ms. Leary stated that she thought the original proposal for partial monies was more appropriate. Mr. DePaolo withdrew the amendment and returned to the original amount. Mr. Engman clarified that the motion then was to increase the funding by$14K over what is currently in the budget. Mr. Levine seconded. Vote—Ayes: Mr. DePaolo, Mr. Levine, Ms. Hunter, Mr. Howe, Ms. Leary and Mr. Goodman Nays: Mr. Engman Motion passed 6 to 1. Mr. Engman asked if there were any other motions; there were none and a vote on the adoption of the budget was taken.

The new protocol that potentially would reduce the number of EMS calls that the department responds to along with Bangs ambulance service has not been implemented, due to issues with the software used for the automated dispatch system. 2 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. 3 Resource recovery/False Alarm Policy—Currently on hold following preliminary review with the City Attorney. 4 County Fire-Disaster—EMS Advisory Board—no new action on this issue. 5 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. 6 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. 7 There is a vacancy on the Board as of January 2014 .

First, I would like to discuss the significance and need for preserving the Learning Web. As a member of the Joint Youth Commission board, I have been fortunate enough to gain a unique perspective on the Learning Web and all that it has done for our community. The Learning Web offers an incredible variety of services that are instrumental in aiding the development of our youth. At the middle school level, the Learning Web introduces kids to community service projects and helps children become model citizens by giving back to their community. As kids grow older and move into their high school years, the Learning Web continues to provide a service instrumental to the lives of many teens. Through apprenticeships and jobsite explorations, high school students learn about various career paths,which helps them discover their passion. The Learning Web gives students opportunities that would be almost impossible for them to come by on their own. What is amazing is the wide range of interests that students can explore. Especially for children who come from less privileged families, the Learning Web can help them choose among the many different paths they can consider pursuing in life. Through the Learning Web's program CCEAP, students can go on workplace visits, talk one-on-one with professionals in their field of interest, and even get connected with and expert adult mentor as part of an apprenticeship. Each year, over a hundred Ithaca students benefit from Learning Web programs. The relatively small amount of financial support per student makes a tremendous difference in terms of getting organizations to offer internship positions, and also directly helps the kids. As I start my junior year in high school, the thought of an apprenticeship in one of my fields of interest is very exciting. In fact, Ilana from JYC is currently helping me find an apprenticeship position. I truly hope that Ithaca can continue to actively support its youth,to teach them how to become citizens with a clear commitment to their community. The Learning Web is one of those programs that makes Ithaca a unique place to live. If we cut the JYC CCEAP, we will still support a few students through the County Wide program but the number of Ithaca Youth served will go down from over one hundred to only around ten, and many middle and high school students will lose a tremendously valuable opportunity in life. 617.20 Appendix B Short Environmental Assessment Form Instructions for Completinp, Part 1-Project Information.

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 proposed action is an amendment to a 2002 lease agreement between the Town of Ithaca and Independent Wireless One Leased Realty Corporation (Sprint)for telecommunications antennas co-located on the Christopher Circle water tank and surrounding town-owned property. The Town Board, Planning Board and ZBA approved Sprint's proposal in 2002 to co-locate up to six telecommunications antennas onto the water tank. The approval also involved the installation of cabinets, cables and other related telecommunications equipment and the granting of access and utility easements on the site. The Christopher Circle Water tank was slated for replacement in 2013. The Planning Board approved the replacement and slight re-location of the tank on the same site in May,2014. The Town Public Works Department has since been working with the telecommunications carrier to plan for the placement of its cell antennas and equipment on the new water tank. The existing cabinets will remain in their current location. The proposed lease amendment includes amending the Sprint-leased area to accommodate the six approved antennas(three of which were previously approved but never installed)on the new tank, and to relocate an easement for an underground cable and conduit extension that runs from the existing equipment cabinets in the current leased area to the new water tank. The proposed amendment to the lease is a policy decision of the Town Board. The site and area where the antennas, equipment and underground conduit will be located is an existing disturbed site that temporarily contains two water tanks and is enclosed by a chain-link security fence. There are no streams,wetlands, slopes, endangered plant or animal species or archaeological resources on the site. Additionally,the proposed action is not expected to impact stormwater facilities,wildlife habitat or any other natural resources.
