Agenda Item No . 11 - Recommendation / Endorsement Tompkins County
Paving Road Shoulders :
Mrs . Noteboom - Councilwoman Harrison asked to have this resolution
put before the Town Board .
Mr . Noteboom - Ward Hungerford and William Mobbs of the County
Highway Department stated the County has no plans of not paving
shoulders . The plan is to continue paving what has always been
done in the past , and to make decisions on other shoulders as the
need arises . The County paves shoulders where necessary when there
is pedestrian traffic . Some rural roads do not have the shoulders
paved . The County does pave rural roads with erosion problems .
Mr . Mobbs wrote regarding the shoulders on Warren Road in case the
Town of Ithaca wanted sidewalks on that road . If the Town did not
object to the construction of the sidewalks , maybe the project
could be shared .
Mr . Mobbs and Mr . Hungerford had no problem with the Town Board
passing a resolution endorsing paving shoulders as long as it was
a " friendly " resolution .
Councilman Niklas - In looking at the resolution , why should the
Town Board bother .
Councilwoman Valentino - It would do no harm to pass the resolution
since the County has a tendency to change policies . The Town Board
should go record in support of paving shoulders and showing
appreciation it is done .
Councilwoman Grigorov - In a previous meeting it was reported by
Tim Joseph , County Representative that the County was considering
not paving shoulders to save money .
Councilman Niklas - Could a sentence be added to the resolution
asking the County not change the policy of paving roads ?
Motion made by Councilwoman Valentino , seconded by Councilman
Conley commending Tompkins County for its policy of paving
shoulders and supporting the continuance of this practice . The
Town Clerk is directed to forward a certified copy of this
resolution to the Tompkins County Board of Representatives . Motion
carried with all Town Board members voting aye , with the exception
of Councilman Niklas voting , nay .
Agenda Item No . 12 - Bid Acceptance and Award of Bid Jet Rodder
Mr . Walker - Four responsible bids were received for the purchase
of a trailer mounted sewer jet . The recommendation is to accept
the low bid from Foster ' s Equipment , Incorporated for $ 20 , 757 .

Supervisor Whitcomb - How does this bid compare with the quotes
received over the telephone before bidding ?
Mr . Walker - The bids are approximately $ 350 . 00 more than the
telephone quotes .
Motion made by Councilwoman Grigorov , seconded by Councilwoman
Valentino accepting the bid from Foster ' s Equipment Incorporated .
The Town Engineer is directed to purchase one new trailer mounted
sewer jet as specified for the price of $ 20 , 757 . The Town Board
authorizes the funds to be expended from the G8120 . 200 account for
equipment purchase . Carried unanimously .
Agenda Item No . 13 - Extension of Court Clerk Services :
Ms . Punger - Justice Larkin has requested an extension of work
hours for his Court Clerk , Judith Bernal on a regular basis from
fifteen hours per week to thirty hours per week . This would equal
the amount of hours of Justice Wallenbeck ' s clerks . Justice Larkin
feels the request is justified because of the increased workload .
Councilman Niklas - This was mentioned during the meeting with the
Town Justice ' s at budget time .
Councilwoman Valentino - At that meeting Justice Larkin indicated
his workload was not up to same level as Justice Wallenbeck .
Motion made by Councilman Niklas , seconded by Councilman Klein
approving the extension of Judy Bernal ' s work week to thirty hours .

business in the Town . Mr . Baker recommended Phyllis Baker be
appointed if it would not conflict with her being in Florida during
the winter .
Councilwoman Grigorov - Is it necessary to make the appointment at
this time since Mrs . Baker is in Florida ?. . .
Mrs . Noteboom - The list of vacancies presented was for the Board
to direct whether advertisements should be placed for these
positions , or whether reappointment of those individuals expressing
a desire to continue to serve should be made .
Councilman Niklas - The appearance should not be given that an
appointment was inherited . The position should be advertised . A
committee member naming a successor is not appropriate .
Councilman Conley - Advertisements should be done for those
positions where the individuals do not wish to continue to serve .
