Item 1 Call to order and pledge of Allegiance
Meeting called to order at 5:32 p.m. Agenda Item added regarding the Village of Cayuga
Heights fire truck purchase.
Item 2 Report of Tompkins County Legislature and Ithaca Common Council — None
Item 3 Persons to be Heard and Board comments— None
Item 4 Tompkins County Presentation of the County Wayfinding and Interpretive
Signage Project
Jenifer Tavares and Thomas Knipe presented a Powerpoint presentation regarding the
proposed grant to establish unified signs throughout the county. (Attachment #1)
Key takeaways are that this is for more than just the "Welcome to the Town of Ithaca" signs,
includes locations within the county that are very important to the entire community and were
prioritized by the committee and include the colleges, natural resources such as waterfalls,
trails and state parks, and other areas people who travel to Ithaca want to find. There are
additional signs in the city which have been broken into districts and are color coded such as
East Hill, West Hill, Commons and the like. The goal is to make tourists more comfortable and
enhancing the experience as they travel and visit throughout the county.
Ms. Tavares went over the budgeting of the project stressing that it is dependent on a number
of factors and may be broken into two phases. The cost sharing is shared by the municipalities
and the colleges and depending on the type of sign. The committee also removed the
installation costs hoping that some municipalities would be able to contribute in-kind services.
She did not want too much focus on the numbers because it will depend on grant monies and
other funding sources such as TCAD, DIA etc. The review committee ran many, many scenarios
on cost sharing with a variety of outcomes but the approximate for the town would be $62K.
1
Ms.Tavares wrapped up the presentation by saying they are looking for a letter of commitment
saying we will support the project with a cash amount up to$35K.
Questions from the Board
Mr. Levine asked if that number is based on the attractions the signs are pointing to rather than
the location of the sign and Ms. Tavares responded that it includes half of the 4 gateway signs
and the Rec Way Trail and East Shore Park although there are other signs for destinations in the
Town but they are in other columns in the spreadsheet.
Mr. Levine then asked if the payment over three years is fine with them and Ms. Tavares
responded that they are not sure, but they did think two would be workable and they could
figure out ways if needed for the three. Mr. Knipe added that they envision the County Tourism
Grant funded by the mortgage and room taxes to play the largest cash role in the project and
the Strategic Tourism Board will decide on the commitment level but its assumed around $150K
and that might allow some flexibility.
Ms. Hunter asked about the room tax money and what that is annually and Mr. Knipe
responded that it is about $23M with 16 different programs that are funded out of that and
the Strategic Tourism Implementation program is focused on this project and has dedicated
funding for this to allow the other programs, dozens and dozens of arts and cultural programs
and the Convention and Visitors Bureau that are supported through that main budget.
Mr. Howe noted that the Planning Committee was supportive of this and he asked if this moves
forward, there would be many decisions to be made and he asked if the town would have
representation on those decisions in the way of a committee membership and Ms. Tavares
responded absolutely.
Mr. Engman noted that the town has an Economic Development Committee and he thought
this certainly helps to give people a feeling of confidence when they come into the community
and it might add to the attraction of the community and most of us know how difficult it is to
get around here and this can really help and although the dollar figure might not be ready now,
it is important for everyone in the community and he believes the town will benefit.
Ms. Hunter had one additional comment requesting that the committee look at a Watershed
Sign and Ms. Tavares responded that she could bring that back to the committee.
TB Resolution No. 2015- 069:Support for Consolidated Funding Application and
Commitment to Provide Town Share of Grant Match Funds for County Wayfinding and
Interpretive Signage Project
Whereas, in 2013,the Tompkins County Chamber of Commerce received a$63,000 grant from
the Tompkins County Tourism Program to develop a plan to create a more comprehensive and
coherent signage system throughout Tompkins County, and
2
Whereas,the program includes a comprehensive gateway and municipal signage program;
standard NYS DOT signage; signage "districts" designated to help visitors, parents, and our
transient residential population navigate through Ithaca and Tompkins County; and vehicular
directional signage to parks,trails, and other important destinations, and
Whereas,the Town of Ithaca recognizes the importance of visitors,tourists, students, parents,
to the local economic landscape, including benefits to local farms and businesses, and the sales
tax revenue generated by these visitors, and
Whereas,the proposed plan includes gateway signage to the Town of Ithaca, and numerous
Town assets, including the South Hill Recreation Way Trail and the East Shore Park, and
Whereas,the State of New York has announced the availability of funds through the
2015 State of New York Consolidated Funding Application (CFA), and
Whereas,the Tompkins County Chamber of Commerce has been working with numerous
stakeholders, including the County, City, Cornell University, Ithaca College, and other
municipalities to pull together a local funding contribution match to the state CFA application,
and
Whereas,the Town Board is interested in supporting this grant so as to enhance navigation and
wayfinding in the Town and throughout the community, and
Whereas, pursuant to the New York State Environmental Quality Review Act (SEAR) and its
implementation regulations at 6 NYCRR Part 617, it has been determined that the wayfinding
signage project is a Type II Action because the Action involves the "installation of traffic control
devices on existing streets, roads and highways" and signs that "guide traffic" are considered by
both federal and state regulations as traffic control devices,therefore the project is not subject
to SEAR, now, therefore, be it
Resolved,that Town of Ithaca Town Board hereby confirms its intention to commit funds in an
amount not to exceed $35,000, contingent upon an award of funds from the 2015 CFA, with the
final funding formula to be determined based on stakeholder participation and total project
costs.
Moved: Rod Howe Seconded: Eric Levine
Vote:Ayes—Howe, Levine, Leary, Hunter, Engman and Goodman
Item 5 Presentation of final plans for front offices renovation (Attachment 2)
Grace Chiang and Lisa Parrish from Chiang&O'Brien presented the final plans for the front of
house renovations and reviewed the steps taken to get to this point. She added that she has
looked at the estimates and the budget and they felt they were on budget with the caveat that
3
two additional workstations have been added to the project so the furnishing budget is larger
than what was originally anticipated.
There were no questions from the Board. Ms.Terwilliger stated that as one of the people most
affected, she felt this was the best plan and she was happy with the drawings and thought the
management group have worked really hard to get to this point with compromises and battles
and the additional costs for the stand-up desks is necessary because they are very good for
those of us who have back issues and she hoped the board would agree with that.
TB Resolution 2015-070: Authorization of plans and specifications for obtaining bids for the
renovation of front offices at Town Hall
Whereas the Town Board has budgeted for the renovations of the Front Offices of Town Hall in
its 2015 Budget, and
Whereas the designs and plans for the said renovation have gone through a stringent review
process over the past 3 years, and
Whereas Chiang&O'Brien have presented the final diagrams and conceptual drawings and the
next step is to prepare bid documents and open the bidding process, now therefore be it
Resolved that this Board authorizes Chiang& O'Brien to finalize bid documents and let the
project out to bid.
Moved: Bill Goodman Seconded: Eric Levine
Vote: Ayes—Goodman, Levine, Engman, Howe, Leary and Hunter
Item 6 5:30 p.m. Public Hearing Regarding a Proposed Local Law to Override the Tax
Levy Limit Established in General Municipal Law 3-C
Public hearing was opened at 6:25 p.m. There was no one wishing to address the board and
the hearing was closed.
TB Resolution 2015-071: Adopting a Local Law to Override the Tax Lew Limit Established in
General Municipal Law§3-c.
Whereas, municipalities of the State of New York are limited in the amount of real property
taxes that may be levied each year under the tax levy limit established in General Municipal
Law§3-c, and
Whereas, subdivision 5 of General Municipal Law §3-c expressly authorizes a municipality to
override the tax levy limit by the adoption of a local law approved by vote of at least sixty
percent (60%) of the governing body, and
4
Whereas, at its meeting on June 8, 2015, the Town Board of the Town of Ithaca reviewed and
discussed a proposed local law to override the tax levy limit and adopted a resolution for a
public hearing to be held by said Town on July 13, 2015 at 5:30 p.m. to hear all interested
parties on the proposed local law entitled "A LOCAL LAW TO OVERRIDE THE TAX LEVY LIMIT
ESTABLISHED IN GENERAL MUNICIPAL LAW§3-C"; and
Whereas, notice of said public hearing was duly advertised in the Ithaca Journal; and
Whereas, said public hearing was duly held on said date and time at the Town Hall of the Town
of Ithaca and all parties in attendance were permitted an opportunity to speak on behalf of or
in opposition to said proposed local law, or any part thereof, and
Whereas, pursuant to the New York State Environmental Quality Review Act ("SEQRA") and its
implementing regulations at 6 NYCRR Part 617, it has been determined by the Town Board that
adoption of the proposed local law is a Type II action because it constitutes "routine or
continuing agency administration and management, not including new programs or major
reordering of priorities that may affect the environment," and thus this action is not subject to
review under SEQRA.
Now,therefore, be it
Resolved, that the Town Board of the Town of Ithaca hereby adopts said local law entitled "A
LOCAL LAW TO OVERRIDE THE TAX LEVY LIMIT ESTABLISHED IN GENERAL MUNICIPAL LAW§3-
C", a copy of which is attached hereto and made a part of this resolution,and be it further

identify incentives and financing options; and will help homeowners achieve cost reductions
through volume pricing and

community about energy conservation options, incentives, and financing methods and has
been very successful in stimulating the Solar market in Tompkins County—including the
installation of$12 million in solar energy infrastructure on 400 homes and creation of over 50
full-time living wage jobs and
Whereas Solar Tompkins is a non-profit organization that has served and will continue to serve
the public interest by increasing the quality and value of the housing stock; educating the
community and achieving energy efficiency and greenhouse gas reductions; and strengthening
the local economy and creating local jobs and

Rehabilitation Project (the "Improvement" or "Project") are a Type II Action because the Action
constitutes "replacement, rehabilitation or reconstruction of a structure or facility, in kind, on
the same site," and thus approval, construction and implementation of the Improvement are
not subject to review under SEQRA; and
Whereas: On June 17, 2015, the Director of Public Works/Highway Superintendent (Director)
received bids for the Project; and
13
Whereas: The Director has reviewed the bids and qualifications of the bidders and has
determined the lowest responsive bid in the amount of $126,034.00 was made by the lowest
responsible bidder, Skanex Pipe Services, Inc., 753 Rowley Road, Victor IVY 14564; now
therefore be it
Resolved: That the Town Board hereby authorizes the award of the contract for the Town of
Ithaca Slaterville Road (S.R. 79) Sanitary Sewer Rehabilitation Project to Skanex Pipe Services,
Inc.; and be it further
Resolved: that the Town Supervisor is authorized to execute such contract subject to approval
of the final contract documents by the Town Engineer and Attorney for the Town; and be it
further
Resolved: that the Director is authorized to approve change orders to such contract upon
receipt of appropriate justification provided the maximum amount of such change orders shall
not in the aggregate exceed $13,000.00 without prior authorization of this Board, and provided
further that the total project cost, including contract, engineering, legal, inspection, paving, site
restoration and gravel purchase completed by Town forces, and other expenses, does not
exceed the maximum authorized cost of$139,034.00 for the project, and authorizes and directs
the Town Finance Officer to record the appropriate budgetary amendment.

Funding Models for Project
z
c
• Numerous funding model approaches
0
have been examined, including:
U — Divided by population,with local share attributed to each
N municipality
Y — Divided by location of signs,with assumption that municipality
a where sign is placed funds that sign
— A"Fair Share"model,where each entity funds based on what
signs are pointing to
— A"Fair Share'minus smaller municipalities,with County
covering those signs
Funding Models con't.
z
?,+ Each example assumes CFA or Upstate Revitalization
Initiative funding from various sources at 40%
u (average of sources). This remains highly optimistic, and
h the project may require paring down.
4 Other local funding partners, such as Chamber,TCAD, DIA,
E foundations are also included at a combined $50,000 (actual
'O may be higher).
Models assume the entire project cost of$1.226 million,
which includes installation &contingency

Request for Town of Ithaca

model projection) will be available to the project.
