AGENDA # 15a FINAL
Town of Ithaca
Town Board Meeting
June 12 , 1995
5 : 30 P . M .
At a regular meeting of the Town Board of the Town of Ithaca ,
Tompkins County , New York held at the Town Hall , 126 East Seneca
Street , Ithaca , New York there were present :
PRESENT : John G . Whitcomb , Supervisor ; Karl Niklas , Councilman ;
David Klein , Councilman ; Carolyn Grigorov , Councilwoman ; Ellen Z .
Harrison , Councilwoman ; Catherine Valentino , Councilwoman ; Edward
Conley , Councilman ,
ALSO PRESENT.1 John Barney , Attorney for the Town ; Joan Lent
Noteboom , Town Clerk ; Daniel Walker , Town Engineer ; Fred Noteboom ,
Highway/ Parks Superintendent ; Andrew Frost , Building/ Zoning
Officer ; Sally Alario , Assistant Budget Officer ; Jonathan Kanter ,
Town Planner ; Dooley Keifer , T . C . Board of Representatives ; Carol
Hale , WHCU ; Bruce Simmons , State Insurance Fund ; Jackie White
Call To Order, The Supervisor called the meeting to order at 5 : 30
p . m . , and led the assemblage in the Pledge of Allegiance .
Agenda Item No . 4 - Reports of Town Officials -
a . Town Supervisor - See attached . These are informational
items . Our final audit report was one of the cleanest ever . Civil
Service items will be addressed later and policy issues will be
reported in more detail at a later date . I am urging the Town
Board to move forward on the new town hall issue .
b . Town Engineer - See attached . The highlight is the Forest
Home bridge will not be built until next year . The status of the
design documents and drawings is approximately 90 % and were
delivered to the County more than a week ago . The Forest Home work
group met and reviewed the drawings . There were a few minor
details addressed regarding the railings for historic preservation
reasons . John Lampman has sent the drawings to the State for
review and it is hoped the state will sign off , however logistics
being what they are , getting a design and full set of contract
documents ready before August or September would be difficult to
do , The plan is to have all approvals by September and put it out
to bid at that time and contract the work out in October for
construction in 1996 . Winter construction can be expensive and
would also cause a significant amount of traffic congestion in that
area during the school year .
Councilman Conley - What affect would this have on any funding ?
Mr . Walker - Our understanding is if we commit to a contract this
year the funding would be secure based on discussions with NYSDOT .
I am confident the funding will be held . We do not have a final
tima
cost este as yet as the design , as of the meeting a week ago ,
TBM 6 / 12 / 95
had not been determined and there is a questions as to whether the
abutments can be saved . The new design shows new abutments which
could possibly be more expensive than the original concept and we
are awaiting the final engineer ' s estimate of cost .
Councilman Conley - Has the University and neighborhood been
informed of t: his ?
Mr . Walker - The work group and other Forest Home organizations as
well as Cornell are aware the work will not begin until next year .
Councilwoman Harrison - Is an earth fill permit required under the
zoning ordinance and is it for excavation or fill ?
Mr . Frost - Section 70 of the original Zoning Ordinance was
intended to deal with mining .
Councilwoman Harrison - The process is then the Planning Board
reviews the request and then the Zoning Board of Appeals makes
their decision to approve or deny the request , right ?
Mr . Walker - If it is less than 2500 yards of material , the ZBA
would be the granting authority for the permit . If it is over 2500
yards , it requires review by the Planning Board first , then
referred to the ZBA . If it is under 250 yards it becomes an
administrative permit .
Councilwoman Harrison - Have we talked about the location of the
East Hill water tank ?
Mr . Walker - This was discussed in the capital project plan some
time ago . We are looking at a possible sight on the Baker
Institute property .
Councilwoman Grigorov - Can you tell me where the Five Mile Drive
fill will be placed ?
Mr . Walker - Directly across from the cemetery on Five Mile Drive .
The property is owned by the Immaculate Conception Church ' s
Cemetery Association .
C . Highway/ Parks Superintendent - See attached .
Councilwoman Harrison - I was delighted to receive your note
regarding meetings with residents in various areas of the town . In
future reports could you list the names ?
Mr . Noteboom - Councilman Klein and myself met with Duane Wilcox on
Simsbury Drive recently regarding the paving on the road . Mr .
t Wilcox was to talk with the neighborhood association about oil and
2
TBM 6 / 12 / 95
stone methods . There seems to be some contention in the
neighborhood with using this method due to the stones , etc . . We
made some changes last year on the size of the stone used and the
method of laying it . This seemed more aesthetic and appealing and
I am trying to sell this method in the neighborhoods . It is less
expensive than paving . This year , in our resurfacing plan , I have
attempted to contact the neighborhoods and have talked to some of
the resident : to ascertain their willingness to try this method .
Cost wise , we could resurface 3 to 4 miles of road with the oil and
stone method as opposed to 1 mile using black top .
Councilwoman Harrison - Could we make a note to include this in our
next newsletter ?
Mrs . Noteboom - Ok .
Councilman Klein - Fred also met with Carol Anderson Winthrop Place
regarding the drainage issue .
Councilwoman Harrison - Did you manage to reach an understanding ?
Mr . Noteboom - I believe she understands however I do not think we
have " cured " the situation . There are a few things we will try
first and given it is located in the Village , some things have to
be done differently .
Mr . Walker - We will be working with the Village of Cayuga Heights ,
the school , etc . . . I received a call from one of the teachers at
the school who would like to put multi - use in the detention
structure there and have a permanent pond so the students could use
it for educational purposes . There are a number of issues
including the capacity of the structure and the liability issues
which must be addressed before we proceed . I have asked to have
one of the authorities of the school write a letter to the Town
Supervisor requesting an analysis of the possibilities which have
been discussed .
d . Town Planner - See attached . The public information meeting
for the Six Mile Creek Conservation District is scheduled for
Monday , June 19 , 1995 at 7 : 30 p . m , at the South Hill Elementary
School cafeteria . We have heard from 2 or 3 residents so at this
point we are not sure how many will attend the meeting .
Councilwoman Harrison - In the Parks , Recreation and Open Space
update it mentioned the possibility of the Conservation Board
conducting field visits . It would be nice to invite the Town Board
to these visits .
e . Building Inspector / Zoning Officer - See attached .

TBM 6 / 12 / 95
f . Town Clerk / Receiver of Taxes - See attached .
g . Assistant Budget Officer - See attached .
h . Attorney for the Town - The Town Board had authorized us , some
time ago , to try and negotiate an arrangement where the appeal
would be dismissed on the bed and breakfast issue . We have
attempted to negotiate with little result after having made the
request . They filed the appeal with the courts in an attempt to
get a stay against enforcement of the lower court ' s order . We
resisted the stay and Judge Rumsey agreed on Friday and ruled from
the bench the stay would be lifted effective June 12 , 1995 ,
Agenda Item No . 5 - Report of Town Committees •
Councilman Niiklas - The Codes and Ordinance Committee met and
discussed thte fees in lieu of parkland issue . The committee
concluded the most equitable solution would be if property had sold
within the last two years the fee would be calculated based of 100
on the assessed value of the property or the purchase price ,
whichever is less . If the property had been sold longer than two
years ago , the fee would be calculated on the based on 10 % of the
current assessed value . This recommendation will be presented to
the Town Planning Board for consideration .
Councilwoman Harrison - There was to be some adjustment regarding
partial improvements . The parcels all have public access , not
fully developed .
Councilman Niklas - We did consider that . The issue was referred
to the COC for consideration and recommendation .
Councilwoman Harrison - I would ask that we review the minutes . I
remember an involved discussion regarding this issue .
Councilman Klein - After the discussion , I was of the
understanding the actual sale price is the value of the land or in
absence of a recent sale , the assessed value . The County reassess
land every three years . It seemed this would be the best basis of
calculation . Taking 10 % of the land would be 10 % of the value .
Supervisor Whitcomb - The assessed value includes any improvements
made to the property .
Councilwoman Harrison - If you buy raw land there is no improvement
value included in the assessment .
Supervisor Whitcomb - Yes there is . If water and sewer are
available to the property , they are included in the value of the
4
TBM 6 / 12 / 95
property .
Councilwoman Harrison - If you buy a piece of land and it does not
have water and sewer , then you run the water and sewer and put in
a road , the value at the time you purchased the property does not
include the improvements .
Councilman Niklas - The Town Board referred this back to COC for
its recommendation . The bottom line is it will come back to this
board with the advice of COC as to how to proceed . At that point ,
changes may be made . The COC ' s opinion , which the Town Board
solicited , is what I just stated .
Councilwoman Harrison - Did you have the benefit of reviewing the
minutes ?
Councilman Niklas - There were three members of the Town Board in
attendance at. the COC meeting . The three of us recollected the
discussion you refer to .
Councilman Niklas - Town staff also finished making recommendations
regarding perspective rezoning of properties for which the zoning
had been changed in terms of certain site plans approved by the
Town Planning Board . There were also some undeveloped lots town
staff looked at and will make a recommendation for rezoning . Those
recommendations will be sent to the Town Planning Board with back
up information . Ultimately , these recommendations will be
presented to the Town Board by COC for their review and comments .
Councilman Klein - The Public Works Committee discussed the
pedestrian walkways and crosswalks . Mr . Noteboom had contacted the
State as well as researching the law . Basically crosswalks may be
placed any where deemed appropriate however the state does not
advise placing more crosswalks than needed .
The committee reviewed the proposed trail behind Pine Tree Road .
Discussions will proceed regarding the needed easements .
The Forest Home bridge issue was addressed with some concerns
regarding the County ' s involvement . Annual maintenance on the
various water tanks was raised and a recommendation of concrete
tanks as opposed to steel was discussed .
Mr . Walker - Concrete tanks can be buried as opposed to above
ground .
Councilwoman Harrison - I would like to know at some point where
the various crosswalks are located within the Town . I had
discussions with Mayor Nichols and David Boyd concerning
publicizing pedestrian rights at crosswalks . One of the prospects
5
TBM 6 / 12 / 95
was dedicating 1 week to pedestrian rights to raise awareness .
Councilman Ni. klas - An additional approach would be to solicit
Ithaca College and Cornell for their assistance . Information
regarding New York State laws on crosswalks could be supplied in
admission packages .
Councilwoman Valentino - Grocery store crosswalks are also a grave
concern to many .
Councilman Grigorov - See attached . After some discussion it was
suggested the issue of the mailbox placement be taken back to
committee to explore some other alternatives which might be
available .
Mr . Kanter - I met with Cornell GEIS representatives and discussed
the issue of parking standards . There will be some final
conceptual issues to bring back to the committee in the next week
or two , prior to being brought back to this board .
Agenda Item No . 7 - Persons To Be Heard :
No one present wished to speak .
Agenda Item No 6 - Tompkins County Board of Representatives :
T . C . Board Representative Dooley Kiefer - I would be happy to
discuss the Forest Home issue in detail at another time with you .
However , it started when the County ' s staff engineer in charge , Liz
Cameron , went: on leave and did not come back . The County , in
trying to make use of existing employees without hiring additional ,
realized there was a qualified engineer in the solid waste division
who could fill the position temporarily . This did not happen until
approximately three months later . The Engineer was told the County
was more concerned about the Biggs air quality problems than
anything else at that time . This is my understanding of the
situation .
Councilman Niklas - Is there any one person responsible for this
delay ?
Ms . Kiefer - I do not believe there is any one person to point the
finger at . :Liz Cameron had assurance from the State Office of
Historic Preservation , given the Forest Home Community and the Town
Board ' s backing of this particular historic design , that it would
be a weeks turn around time in their office . The engineering firm
the County retained had no one free to work on the drawings when
the project went back to the consultants . At that point they hired
a sub - consultant . This consultant was not experienced in historic
preservation :projects and ultimately we regressed on the project .
6
TBM 6 / 12 / 95
He tried to redo the project . The questions is who supervises the
sub - consultant ? The consultant . Who supervises the consultant ?
We thought they knew what we wanted . So it is very difficult to
point a finger . The problem now is there has been a change in
Albany and Historic Preservation is not doing the one week turn
around and will need their full 90 days to review . The bottom line
is as was reported . There is every likelihood the designs will be
completed and go out to bid . The bid will be awarded and State DOT
has given assurances the money is there this year and will be
encumbered this year . We believe this and this is the best we can
do .
Supervisor Whitcomb - Our concern is to make sure the funding is
protected .
Ms . Keifer - The Town representatives on the County Board know this
and feel very strongly about this . I am not on the appropriate
committee so it takes me time to find out what is going on .
The other item I thought you would be interested in was the solid
waste annual fee . A meeting will be held sometime in June to give
a demonstration to clerks and supervisors of the special software
package being developed to make this transition painless . The date
has not been set as we are waiting to hear from the firm developing
the software to be sure they will have it ready to demonstrate .
Supervisor Whitcomb - This would probably be a good indication of
whether or not they will have it ready to use in a timely basis as
well .
Ms . Kiefer - This firm seems promising to me compared to the firm
we have had .
I would like to distribute these pamphlets from Tompkins County
Environmental Management Council regarding burn barrels and open
burning . More are available from EMC if needed . The EMC did a
good job in formulating an education flier for the public .
Councilwoman 'Valentino - I recently used the new recycling facility
on Commercial Ave . and I must say the staff was very polite and the
facility was very impressive .
Agenda Item No . 24 and No . 25 - Election To Self - Insure Workers '
Compensation Claims :
Supervisor Whitcomb - You may or may not be aware the town was
considering changing worker ' s compensation insurance from the State
Insurance Fund to the Workers ' Compensation Alliances . This is a
self insured group through the New York State Association of Towns .
We recently sent a notice to the NYS Insurance Fund announcing our
TBM 6 / 12 / 95
intent to leave the fund at the end of June .
Mr , Bruce Simmons , New York State Insurance Fund - I am a field
service representative with the State Insurance Fund and deal in
customer relations and safety . I also represent the State Fund as
opposed to Lovell Safety Management Group , who is your group
manager for safety issues .
You are currently enrolled in the State Insurance Fund , Safety
Group # 496 , which is managed by Lovell Safety Management Group . The
point I wish to make regarding the State Insurance Fund is it is
fully insured . As your Supervisor stated , it is not a self insured
group . When you pay your premium to the State Insurance Fund you
are 100a covered ; no limit on Worker ' s Compensation and Part B
employer ' s liability . Commonly the State self insured alliances do
not cover part B , employers ' liability . Part B is third party law
suits . This is when a person injures themselves while operating a
piece of equipment and their case is handled through Workers '
Compensation . They also then sue the manufacturer of the piece of
equipment for some reason . The manufacturer then enjoins the Town
and claims the Town did not train the person properly or for
whatever reason . How important is this ? Last year it was 10a of
the State Insurance Funds ' reserves allocated toward third party
lawsuits . The self insured alliance you not only have to compare
the price for workman ' s compensation but also the cost of coverage
in this particular segment that is now covered under Part 1 - B of
your employer ' s liability insurance .
The State Insurance Fund is a non - profit organization run by the
State with State employees . The safety groups are more
concentrated . You could be in a group with 50 towns and about $ 5
million worth of premium . The premiums are collected , the stop
loss is purchased from the State Fund , the claims are paid and what
is left over is distributed back to the members as dividends . The
stop loss purchased from the State Fund is 22 % then the fund gives
a 1 . 9 % credit on administration . This means State Fund does not
charge the Town anything for administration but in fact gives a
credit of 1 . 90 . If the self insured alliance group suffers any
losses beyond the premium , the members are then assessed . The
safety group first accesses the group then the fund . The
membership is not approached and it ' s sole recourse is the premium
paid for the insurance policy .
Worker ' s Compensation claims continue until the death of the
individual as well as permanent partial disability claims . A death
claim will pay the beneficiary of a spouse until death or upon re -
marriage .
The safety group offers stability of premium payments and each year
the premium is paid with no additional unforeseen costs for that
8
TBM 6 / 12 / 95
year . With the self insured alliances , if the claims increase they
may return to the members and request additional monies even if you
are no longer a member . You are jointly and severally liable so
even if in 20 years from now they come back and say we need more
money , regardless if you are still a member or not , if the
particular claim was when you were a member , you are still
obligated .
Supervisor Whitcomb - That is one of the most important points
made . Even if you leave the self insured group you are still
liable for the claims processed when you were a member . This could
go on for some time .
Councilwoman Harrison - What if you get expelled from the group ?
Is the group still responsible for any claims , given the
termination clause in the document ?
Mr . Simmons - You would still be liable . Worker ' s Compensation
claims is State Funds ' business and this is what we do . We employ
claims administrators , investigators , hearing representatives ,
rehabilitation nurses , fraud investigators and a large legal
department . We started the Worker ' s Compensation business in the
United States in the early 1900 ' s . If anyone knows about handling
claims , State Fund does . Our safety management also reviews claims
for the purposes of the group . A group goes on a seven year payout
history ; accumulates the claims of your safety group . They have
your reserves set up and they do accounting annually to determine
the liability and at the end of the seven years terminates the
liability of the safety group . Lovell reviews your claims with
State Fund to insure claims are handled in the best interest of the
group so they can pay the highest dividend .
Relative to Worker ' s Compensation claims , the same worker ' s
compensation judge decides your liability to the claimant ,
regardless of the carrier .
State Fund has a field service representative for safety services .
They provide safety surveys , demonstrations , posters , and provide
video tapes regarding safety issues . The services are available
and we encourage our groups to use them . Lovell also provides
safety services , conduct inspections , provides materials , holds
seminars etc . . .
�I
When you are in the safety group , you receive a 20 % advance
discount , the group has a five year average of 31 % dividend , and
you pay a 10 1s service charge to Lovell for being in the group which
means a net :reduction of 37 . 5 % off the standard premium . As of
past friday , a 35 $ dividend was declared for the Town ' s last
policy .
�- 9
TBM 6 / 12 / 95
Discussion followed .
Councilwoman Harrison - What caused the Town to do this
reevaluation ?
Councilwoman Valentino - When I was at the Association of Towns
meeting in New York and reviewing information provided by the
Association , I thought what harm could there be in obtaining a
quote and to investigate further just to see where the Town stands .
Supervisor Whitcomb - Pat Punger had recommended the Town go with
the Worker ' s Compensation Alliance purely on basis of the premium ,
although she did not feel strongly one way or the other .
Councilwoman :Harrison - We are trying to buy insurance which needs
to give us assurance regarding coverage . Based on the little I
have seen , I do not feel assured about what the alliance seems to
offer . The premium difference is very minor .
Supervisor Whitcomb - I agree . I have been persuaded by Mr .
Simmons we should stay where we are .
Councilwoman Valentino - I would concur at this point although I
find it interesting as I have worked on State Insurance Funds with
another employer and have seen the rates steadily increasing . Now
all of a sudden we seem to be in a better position since the
creation of the alliance .
The Supervisor requested Agenda Item No . 10 be addressed at this
time so he may open the public hearing .
Agenda Item No . 10 - Public Hearing To Consider a " LOCAL LAW
PROVIDING FOR THE NUMBERING OF HOUSES IN THE TOWN OF ITHACA " :
The Supervisor opened the public hearing at 6 : 30 p . m . , the Town
Clerk had proof of posting and publication .
The Supervisor postponed the public hearing until agenda item # 24
and # 25 has been completed .
Agenda Item No . 24 and No . 25 - Resumed
Mr . Simmons - The competition is good . One of the things that goes
along that is the rates go up . Suddenly everyone becomes more
safety conscious . Now we are being asked how can we lower our
claims ?
Councilman Ni. klas - It should be clear we should continue to
periodically :reevaluate out insurance coverage and carrier .
10
TBM 6 / 12 / 95
Councilman Klein - The Worker ' s Compensation rates are established
by the State and are the same regardless of carrier . The
difference is the dividends which are received back . Basically if
the group performs well you might get something back which
ultimately lowers costs .
Supervisor Whitcomb - As no action is required we must now forward
a letter to the State Insurance Fund indicating our wish to
continue our coverage with them . We would like to check on the
Southern Cayuga Lake Intermunicipal Water Commissions status on
this as well .
Agenda Item No . 10 - Public Hearing To Consider a " LOCAL LAW
PROVIDING FOR. THE NUMBERING OF HOUSES IN THE TOWN OF ITHACA " •
The Supervisor reopened the public hearing at 7 : 44 p . m .
Dooley Kiefer - I am all in favor of the proposal but would like to
make a comment on the SEQR form . Almost everything is not
applicable however I think the part stating what areas this applies
to and N/A is entered is not correct .
The Supervisor closed the public hearing at 7 : 45 p . m .
Agenda Item No , 11 - SEOR , " LOCAL LAW PROVIDING FOR THE NUMBERING
OF HOUSES IN THE TOWN OF ITHACA " :
Supervisor Whitcomb - Perhaps Ms . Kiefer could point out on the
SEQR form where her concern is regarding the SEQR .
Ms . Kiefer - Under # 6 , " Amount of land affected " is answered N/A .
Jon Kanter - I prepared the SEQR .
Supervisor Whitcomb - Ms . Kiefer suggested you either put in entire
Town or acreage of the entire Town .
Mr , Kanter - So done .

Agenda Item No . 17 - Consider Change to Ethics Disclosure Statement
As Recommended by the Ethics Board :
Resolution No , 105 Motion made by Councilman Niklas , seconded by
Councilman Klein .
Attorney Barney - There were changes in the reorganization of the
first four lines . There was some apparent confusion in filling out
the old form where it asked for place of employment . People were
not sure if we were asking for their employment with the Town or
their actual place of employment assuming they were not employees
of the Town . We changed the form to pick up last name and where it
asked for address , some people indicated office address and some
indicated residence address . The last line is affiliation with the
Town of Ithaca .
In the outside interests , the example in brackets , was added . This
was a result of a number of people not understanding that if they
were employed by not for profit organizations , such as Cornell or
Ithaca College , they should disclose that on the form .
Councilman Niklas - When I filled out the form , I indicated my
employer as Cornell University it seemed implicit and explicit that
I am affiliated with that institution . I have no disagreement with
15
TBM 6 / 12 / 95
these modifications . I am justifying the reason for not disclosing
it again .
Councilwoman Harrison - It is good you put the example in
parenthesis as I still would not have understood . I do not
consider my employment an " outside interest " .
A vote on the resolution resulted as follows :
Supervisor Whitcomb , aye ; Councilwoman Valentino , aye ; Councilman
Niklas , aye ; Councilman Klein , aye ; Councilwoman Grigorov , aye ;
Councilwoman Harrison , aye ; Councilman Conley , aye . Carried
unanimously .
Agenda Item No_ . 18 - Consider Tompkins County Solid Waste Fee Being
Added to the 'Tax Bill :
Mrs . Noteboom - A letter was sent to me from Michael Lane
explaining what the County was trying to do with the new program
and a meeting which is to be held in June . When I went to the
County Budget & Finance Office last week to turn over the taxes , I
had a discussion with David Squiers and Lisa Stephens regarding
this meeting . It was explained the County would not consider
purchasing the software if they were not considering having the
solid waste fee included on the taxes . We discussed again the
legal issue and I reiterated to them it was my understanding this
board had not yet felt comfortable as to whether or not it is legal
for the fee to be added to the tax roll for collection by the Town
Clerks . They, requested that at this meeting we not address the
legal issue . They stated it is a policy issue which must be
decided by the County Board of Representatives and individual Town
Boards . They asked us to look at the program for its merits on
efficiency in being able to calculate the fee .
We spoke briefly regarding time frame as far as the availability of
the program . Lisa Stephens is leaving the County in August . She
has been our liaison and extremely helpful . I impressed upon them
the importance that if this is resolved , it would be necessary for
us to receive= the program and have the training as close as
possible to the completion of the budget .
They also mentioned it was their understanding the County Board of
Representatives feels the legal issue has been resolved with the
Town Board and Supervisors .
Councilwoman Harrison - Does the Town Supervisor feel it has been
resolved ?
Supervisor Whitcomb - Our attorney says one thing , the County
attorney says another . I do not think it has been resolved with
any County Board or Supervisor in this Town . The County is moving
16
TBM 6 / 12 / 95
ahead on their assumption it is legal . If we want to challenge
this at some point we could .
Councilwoman Harrison - Would it be worthwhile to have the two
attorneys discuss the issue or has this already taken place .
Attorney Barney - Yes it has . I indicated to him my doubts about
the legality of adding a fee to the tax bill , citing him chapter
and verse based upon Real Property Tax Law . He stated , several
months ago , it probably would need special legislation unless all
of the towns agreed . We can agree to waive the law . I was looking
at it from the standpoint if the Town does not want to do it , is
the Town in the right or in the wrong ? I was satisfied we were in
the right as :Legally they can not impose this upon the Town in the
absence of some legislation from the State Legislature authorizing
it . That was the last conversation I had with him . It was my
understanding from the County Attorney he would look in to the
matter further .
Councilman Niklas - You said if the Town of Ithaca does not choose
to participate in this it is within our legal rights to do that .
Supervisor Whitcomb - We do not want to incur any legal liability
for this . We could legally agree to proceed with it .
Councilman Niklas - Suppose all of the municipalities involved say
yes , we will participate . Suppose a group of citizens decide to
sue the County and the municipality they reside in , claiming that
putting the solid waste fee on the tax bill was illegal . Are we
then , as a municipality liable to the legal fees of that lawsuit ?
How realistic is it that someone would take that action ?
Attorney Barney - We would not be liable for their attorneys fees .
If I came in the door and said you have put a fee on my tax bill
and you have now made my tax bill illegal , I am not going to pay
anything . Where are we at ? Since we return all of our taxes to
the County and the County pays us , I ' m not sure the Town is going
to be out very much if I choose to take that position as a Town
resident . The County will be responsible to collect that bill
unless every tax payer decides to take that position . I do not
think there is a tremendous financial disclosure to the Town but
getting back to what I said before , are we compelled , could we say
no and are we justified by saying no and the answer is I believe we
are .
Councilwoman Harrison - There were a significant number of other
issues that would not be addressed by the computer program .
Ms . Noteboom -- That is why the County wants us to look objectively
at the program . They feel with the program they are proposing , it
will address many of those issues .
17
TBM 6 / 12 / 95
Councilwoman Harrison - I was recollecting there were potentially
a lot of other issues to do with partial payments and how to handle
those , which clearly a computer program does not address . Is there
anything in terms of discussions with the County , regarding how to
manage that ? I know you were worried in terms of staffing issues .
Mrs . Noteboom - As far as I can tell this is the first step . I
would like to go there with an open mind to see what the computer
program does to see how many of those concerns it addresses . I
felt quite comfortable when speaking with David Squiers last week
that he was very interested in discussing , negotiating and
cooperating to try to answer as many of the issues as possible . I
am willing to go with an open mind .
Councilman Niklas - We should reopen the discussion after the Town
Clerk has a chance to see the demonstration of the program . There
are a couple of issues which need to be addressed even then .
Mrs . Noteboom - The attorney has given his opinion and I defer to
that . I myself , will not feel comfortable , under my oath of
office , collecting the fee unless I am fairly well assured it is
legal for me to do so . I defer to him and I think he is correct .
I only hope this board will back the stance I take if it becomes
necessary .
Councilwoman Harrison - What is the significance of that ? The
County is moving forward , their lawyer says he thinks it ' s legal ,
our Town Attorney , on his reading , says probably not .
Mrs . Noteboom - What I am saying is given my oath of office , I am
not totally convinced it is legal for me to collect the fee on the
property tax bill which I believe the Town Attorney is saying
without State legislation . It is not possible at this moment even
if all the municipalities agreed to do so I may have to take the
stance that I will not collect it as it is against my oath of
office , individually , as a person . I do not think this Town Board
would ever ask me to do anything out of line with my oath Of
office .
Councilwoman Harrison - Is the State Legislature going to be out of
session at that time ? There would be no opportunity for special
legislation .
Councilman Niklas - Does the Town Attorney feel any further
research is needed in this matter ?
Attorney Barney - I am puzzled , quite frankly ,
letter from Michael Lane where he says they have done researgchtand
it is legal . There is no question the fee
is legal . It is the
' mechanics of collecting it and whether it can be collected by a
18
=milli
Iowa
TBM 6 / 12 / 95
simple addition to the tax bill . That is what I am troubled with .
Real Property Tax Law basically says thou shall not put on the tax
bill
anything other than real estate tax . This is clearly not a real
estate tax .
Councilman Niklas - Ms . Kiefer , has the County Board of
Representatives heard any debate or discussion regarding the
legality of the pending solid waste fee being added to the tax
bills ? You are hearing a one sided debate tonight and have they
been made aware ?
Ms . Kiefer - The issue came before the County Board in the Solid
Waste Committee ' s report and in the County Attorney ' s report .
There really has not been a discussion as no one questioned it .
The relevant committee is in receipt of substantial correspondence
from the Town of Ithaca on the subject which includes the Town
Attorney ' s opinion regarding the illegality .
Before my tenure on the county Board , this was an area I was
interested in as I was in on the solid waste design . I am
convinced , in principle , there is not a problem . I understand Mr .
Barney giving you the most cautious advice and think an equally
strong argument can be made on the other side . I feel we are on
firm ground .
Councilman Niklas - So you are satisfied no further discussion is
desirable .
Ms . Kiefer - No . I think discussion is always desirable . I think
it is at the :Level of the Town Board and the County Board for that
discussion to take place .
Councilwoman Harrison - Has something been committed to writing by
the County Attorney ?
Attorney Barney - I have heard the County Attorney feels that way
however I do not recall anything in writing . When I talked to Mr .
Wood I do not believe he had anything in writing at that time
either .
Councilman Niklas - In everyone ' s best interest , the County Board
of Representatives should sponsor a debate between the lawyers . At
least the members of the County Board could be educated as to both
sides of the opinion .
Mrs . Noteboom - I have sent everything I received from the
Association of Towns , Opinions of the State Comptroller and the
State Attorney ' s Office .
19
TBM 6 / 12 / 95
Supervisor Whitcomb - Unfortunately it will not be resolved by the
opinions of Mr . Wood or Mr . Barney . The opinion will ultimately
come from the State or a judge .
Councilman Klein - Is it something one would request from the
Attorney General ' s office ?
Attorney Barney - We would request one from the State Comptroller
or the Attorney General , either one . I think what might be
appropriate is for me to get in touch with Mr . Wood and find out
what he has learned . The law flows a little with what you want to
have happen . If the Town is willing to go along with it , I am not
sure it is a problem . I think if we have a situation where Joan
feels it is inappropriate , and unless she is satisfied it is
perfectly legal , then we have a problem .
Councilman Niklas - My suggestion earlier was we table this issue
until more information is provided to us .
Councilman Klein - Is it inappropriate to ask Mr . Barney to seek an
opinion from the State Comptroller ' s Office or the Attorney
General ' s Office ? If he says it is legal for us to collect it , in
his opinion , then Joan would feel more at ease .
Mrs . Noteboom - We have two opinions I requested in February which
Mr . Barney has copies of . One is from the Attorney for the
Association of Towns and the other is an opinion from the State
Comptroller ' s Office .
Councilman Klein - That was not a recent opinion and not very
specific .
Supervisor Whitcomb - Let ' s authorize Attorney Barney to request
a more current opinion from the State Comptroller ' s Office ,
Mrs . Noteboom - I do want to say David Squiers and Lisa Stephens
have been most helpful and cooperative .

Agenda Item No . 21 - Consider Coddincrton Road Community Center
Funding Recruest :
Supervisor Whitcomb - In the past we have funded the summer program
for a four week period at an approximate cost of $ 2 ' 500 . 00 . This
year they are requesting a six week program due to cutbacks in City
programs . The enrollment is held open for the Town of Ithaca until
May 31 , 1995 and then opens to the general public .
Councilwoman Harrison - So basically we end up subsidizing children
from other gowns .
Supervisor Whitcomb - To some extent . I have advised Attorney
Barney to revise the agreement with the Community Center to not
only include the quarterly payments but also for the summer
program .
Councilwoman Valentino - The way the county wide program works is
we have children going back and forth . We have quite a few
children from the Town of Ithaca who participate in programs in
Caroline and Danby . There are alot of Town of Ithaca children who
_ attend those schools who go to the programs there . We feel that on
21
TBM 6 / 12 / 95
a county wide basis it tends to balance itself out . Essentially ,
Dryden and Caroline are paying for Ithaca children there .
Resolution N« . 109 Motion made by Councilwoman Valentino , seconded
by Councilman Niklas authorizing the Town Supervisor with the
assistance of the Attorney for the Town to enter into an agreement
with the Coddington Road Community Center for provision of services
in exchange of payment for a six week Summer Playground Program .

Agenda Item No 22 - Consider Approval of 1995 County Youth Service
Contract :
Supervisor Whitcomb - This agenda item is deferred to a later date
as we have requested additional information from the county
regarding the contract .
Agenda Item No 23 - Consider Three Part Custody Agreement with the
Southern Cayuga Lake Intermunicipal Water Commission :
Supervisor Whitcomb - This concerns a three party custody agreement
between the SCLIWC , Tompkins County Trust Co . , and First Chicago
Bank and Trust . This is a standard custodial agreement . It was
requested at the Bolton Point Commission meeting by one of the
Commissioners that it be reviewed by the Attorney for the Town or
the Attorney for Bolton Point , for its applicability to the Town of
Ithaca .
Attorney Barney - By law , the bank must pledge collateral to cover
the value of the entities ' deposits . I have looked at the agreement
and barring the few typographical errors , substantively , it appears
to be in order .
Resolution No , 110 Motion made by Councilman Niklas , seconded by
Councilman Conley approving the Three Party Custody Agreement
between the Southern Cayuga Lake Intermunicipal Water Commission of
the Towns of Dryden , Ithaca and Lansing and the Village of Cayuga
Heights and Lansing , ( " Local Government " ) , located in the County of
Tompkins , in the State of New York , and the Tompkins County Trust
Co . , and the First Chicago Trust Co . ( " Custodian " ) in order to
maintain or continue public deposits and provide safekeeping
services for the said deposits as described in the agreement .

Agenda Item No . 26 - Consider Authorization to Compensate Court
Clerk for Home Office Space with a Ouarterly Stipend :
Supervisor Whitcomb - The total square footage referenced in the
original letter was 840 however has since been revised to 396 .
Mr . Walker - Keep in mind in our space study the average clerk
space is between 80 and 120 square feet we allocated for their
offices in the new town hall .
Supervisor Whitcomb - The question I am asking you is do you
approve of this kind of arrangement in principle ? We can then work
out the details later . They are working out of their homes as
there is no space in town hall .
Councilwoman Harrison - What is the arrangement ?
Attorney Barney - They will be paid a stipend in addition to their
salaries .
Councilwoman Valentino - What type of things is she storing there ?
Further discussion followed .
Attorney Barney - What was the stipend she was requesting ? $ 200 . 00
per quarter ?
Mrs . Noteboom - Per month . $ 200 . 00 per month .
Councilman Conley - Are we planning to provide space for the
courts ? Why don ' t we go a head and do it and it will take care of
itself when we get our new town hall ? Let the Town Supervisor and
Town Attorney work out the details .
Councilwoman Harrison - Does the salary for this person reflect
anything special in terms of compensation for this type of
situation .
Supervisor Whitcomb - No .
Councilman Niklas - Where else would these records and equipment be
stored other- than in the Town Hall ?
23
TBM 6 / 12 / 95
Councilwoman Harrison - I would agree in principal to pay what
seems like a reasonable amount but this seems totally unreasonable .
Similarly , paying $ 50 . 00 per month for a phone makes no sense to me
whatsoever .
Mrs . Noteboom - When Mrs . Bernal turned this in she told me she
would be more than willing to have any board member tour her home
so they could see how much was actually being used .
Supervisor Whitcomb - The phone calls should be reimbursed on the
actual usage ..
Councilwoman Harrison - Most of those calls are local in which case
there is no charge for that . I assume she is going to make the
argument there is no phone downstairs but even that is not $ 50 . 00
per month .
Councilman Niklas - When we were interviewing the Town Justices
they were saying they need to make frequent calls to Albany to find
out previous conviction records as well as other reasons .
Supervisor Whitcomb - What you are approving is , in principal ,
compensation on a quarterly basis through the Town payroll system
in an amount to be calculated based on the IRS business deduction
and reimbursement for long distance phone calls . Correct ?
Resolution No , 111 Motion made by Councilman Conley , seconded by
Councilwoman Grigorov approving compensating Judy Bernal a
quarterly stipend through the Town payroll system in an amount to
be determined by the Town Supervisor through calculations based
upon the Internal Revenue Service business deduction guidelines .
Compensation shall in no event exceed $ 200 per month . The Town
Board also aLpproves reimbursement of court related long distance
telephone charges to be documented and paid through the Town
voucher system .

Agenda Item No 30 - Consider Creation of Civil Service Positions :
Councilwoman Valentino - I would like to address the items I
requested be deferred earlier , Agenda Items 16 ( i ) , 16 ( j ) , 16 ( k ) .
Starting with 16 ( i ) , the appointment for the Engineering Technician
is no problem on the appointment . The one problem I do have is
the very last sentence where is says " a six month probationary
25
TBM 6 / 12 / 95
period applies after which a performance review will be done "
Now that we have come in to compliance with Civil Service the
probationary period begins after the certification . Essentially
while they are provisional employees , it is the same as being
probationary . The probationary period can not start until after
certification and has to be for a period of not less than eight
weeks nor more than twenty - six weeks . That puts us in conflict with
that sentence being in the appointment .
Councilwoman Harrison - Do you have a suggestion how it should
read ?
Attorney Barney - A twenty - six week probationary period applies
commencing upon certification by Civil Service .
Supervisor Whitcomb - The same holds true for all three of the
resolutions ?
Councilwoman Valentino - No .
Mr . Walker - That person has to be provisional until a Civil
Service exam is taken . If a civil service exam is not given within
six months and this person has been performing adequately for that
six month period can we shorten the review period after the exam?
Councilwoman. Valentino - We can shorten it but it cannot be less
than eight weeks .
Attorney Barney - You would want to bring it back to the board at
that point and say it has been the twenty - six weeks then present to
the board with the request to shorten the probationary to eight
weeks .
Councilwoman Harrison - In terms of the probationary period , we
have made it: so anything good that happens to an employee applies
to them .
Councilwoman Valentino - They can get all their raises and
evaluations during that period of being provisional just the same
as if they were permanent . The only thing is they are basically
" at will " employees until the exam .
Mr . Walker - And it is dependent on the County and State as to when
the exams are scheduled .
Resolution No . 104 Motion made by Councilwoman Valentino , seconded
by Councilman Conley approving the ratification of the appointment
of Charles White as provisional Engineering Technician , subject to
Civil Service certification , at $ 11 . 00 per hour for 40 regular
hours per week , retroactive to May 28 , 1995 . A twenty - six ( 26 )
26
TBM 6 / 12 / 95
week probationary period applies commencing after the Tompkins
County Civil Service certification . Full benefits apply .
A vote on the resolution resulted as follows :
Supervisor Whitcomb , aye ; Councilwoman Valentino , aye ; Councilman
Niklas , aye ; Councilman Klein , aye ; Councilwoman Grigorov , aye ;
Councilwoman Harrison , aye ; Councilman Conley , aye . Carried
unanimously .
Councilwoman Valentino - Item 16 ( j ) I believe falls into the
creation of jobs . This falls into the approval of Senior Typist
positions and that is what we are going to do in the other
resolution .
Councilwoman Harrison - So why is this a separate item ?
Councilwoman Valentino - This was an error . We will not need
agenda item 16 ( k ) either as it will be covered in Agenda item No .
30 . Item 16 ( j ) and 16 ( k ) are covered in other resolutions .
Councilman Niklas - I have a question regarding agenda item # 30
and # 31 combined . In agenda item # 30 you have Town Planner and
Town Engineer however in agenda item # 31 you have department heads
or director of certain departments . I believe they are supposed to
be the same people . If you read the resolutions they are not
necessarily the same positions .
Attorney Barney - All of the positions , Town Engineer , Town Planner
and so forth are basically provisions in the competitive class
under Civil Service . There are people in those positions now and
of course we have many positions which are supposed to be
competitive class and that is indeed what we are doing in the first
resolution . We are taking all of these positions which people are
presently occupying and placing them in the appropriate location .
That is dictated by the Tompkins County Civil Service . The
positions of` Director of Planning , Director of Engineering , and
Director of Building and so forth will be " Unclassified " positions .
This means -they are employees " at will " rather than having the
Civil Service protection . That type of situation is available to
persons who are department heads having the authority to run a full
department . We create the position first to get us into compliance
with the Civil Service rules by the titles that are generally
accepted at the County level . We will now have to petition the
State of New York or have Tompkins County Civil Service , on our
behalf , petition the State of New York Civil Service Commission to
make certain. these three directors positions are indeed going to be
accepted as unclassified . In the mean time the Town , if it is the
Board s will , appoint people to those positions provisionally where
they will serve until such time as the State rules on the petition ,
27
TBM 6 / 12 / 95
which may be a year or two down the road .
Councilman Niklas - But there is no petition in here going to the
State for those .
Councilwoman Valentino - The County will petition the State on our
behalf as we are working through the County Civil Service ,
Attorney Barney - We have in each resolution a provisional
statement that we as a Board are authorizing the Town Supervisor ,
etc . , , to take whatever steps necessary to obtain appropriate Civil
Service certification for the positions .
Councilman N:iklas - I noticed that some of these positions have the
phraseology " at the pleasure of the Town Board " but I notice the
Town Engineer ' s position is not .
Attorney Barney - That is because under Town Law the Town Engineer
is appointed for a two year term effective January 1st following
each biennial Town election as is the Town Clerk and Town Highway
Superintendent . Those three positions , even though the Town
Engineer , being moved to Director of Engineering , still carries
with it all of the duties and responsibilities of Town Engineer
plus . Therefore I did not feel we wanted to say it would be at the
pleasure as it would conflict with Town Law .
Councilwoman Harrison - Which are the ones that are two year
appointments ?
Attorney Barney - Town Clerk , Town Highway Superintendent , and Town
Engineer .
Councilwoman Harrison - Do each of these say that ? I don ' t think
so .
Attorney Barney - In agenda item # 31 it basically says that . By
Town Law , two years . We put the Town Clerk and the Highway
Superintendent in as they were already appointed by this board in
January 1995 .
Councilwomar.LHarrison - Aren ' t these descriptions something that is
going to stand if it is required under law . If it is not just an
action that we had taken previously and it is embodied in " Town
Law " . . . .
Attorney Barney - What I am saying is I do not think you have the
power today to appoint someone to those positions . Those positions
were filled by the Town Board in January .
Councilwoman Harrison - This job description is something that has
28
TBM 6 / 12 / 95
nothing to do with individuals . This is a job description we are
creating and will sit in a file and be important when people
consider the job . I am saying that if that two year term
appointment when the Town Board gets elected is the law , then I
would think that should be in these job descriptions .
Mrs . Noteboom - For the Town Clerk and the Highway Superintendent
it is on the job description .
Councilwoman Harrison - In the Town Clerk ?
Mrs . Noteboom - " The Town Clerk shall also have such powers and
perform such additional duties in the two year term . "
Councilwoman Harrison - Then for the Town Engineer it is not in the
job description but it should be .
Attorney Barney - The Town Engineer is a little bit strange because
in one part of the law it says he serves at the pleasure of the
Town Board but in another place of the law , which specifically
talks about 'Town Engineers , it says it is a two year term .
Councilwoman Harrison - If we became dissatisfied with the
performance of any of these people who had been appointed to a two
year term does the Town Board have the right to terminate that two
year term?
Attorney Barney - Only through a special proceeding . During that
two year teen it is a two year term and basically it would be
misconduct . That is the basis for termination .
Councilwoman Harrison - And whose law is this ?
Attorney Barney - State of New York Town Law .
Councilwoman Harrison - The other question was some of these
descriptions mentioned hiring and firing responsibilities and some
did not . Do we really mean that or doesn ' t the Town Board end up
putting people in these positions ?
Councilwoman. Valentino - When we talked about doing a
reorganization we talked about having department heads take more
responsibility . If we want them to be exempt and be at will that
authority is part of what is mandated and part of the authority we
have to turn. over to them .
Councilwoman. Harrison - Which of these job descriptions should
that hire and fire of staff pertain to ?
Attorney Barney - All five of them .
29
TBM 6 / 12 / 95
Councilwoman Harrison - And it is not in them . Again I may have
missed that . I do not see that in the Town Engineer ' s .
Councilwoman Valentino - The job descriptions you are looking at
today are giving you an overview . There is another process which
needs to happen after tonight ' s resolutions . We have to set up a
special Town Board Meeting for the last week of this month and
appoint people to these positions we have created . During the
period between now and that meeting we will be working with the
County Civil Service to clean up the job descriptions . The job
descriptions tonight are not final . We are not really approving
job descriptions tonight .
Councilman N:Lklas - So we are approving the job descriptions in
principal .
Councilwoman Valentino - Once we have gone through this process
tonight and the special meeting , we are going to set for the last
week of June then we will be finished with our compliance with
civil service .

SUPERVISOR ' S REPORT tune 12 , 1995
Town OrglLnization
The Civil Service Classification process is nearly complete , thanks to
the diligence and perseverance of Cathy Valentino and the folks at
County Personnel. There are 2 related agenda items for your
consideration tonight and a special meeting will need to be called to
appoint employees to their designated classification . Thanks to Cathy
for service above and beyond the call !
Finance
The final audit report is presented for your approval tonight. It is one
of the cleanest audits ever. Sally Alario deserves our gratitude. With
the appointment of a new Town Justice , it is recommended that a
routine audit be done of the former Justice ' s books so that a " clean
slate" can be established. I have authorized our accounting firm to
perform this audit. In addition I recommend that a routine annual
internal audit be performed on the Justices' records .
Intermunicipal
Lake Water cooling plan is progressing . It appears that there may
indeed be an opportunity for cooperation with Cornell in terms of
infrastructure improvement and improved public lake access through
the project.
SJS agreement revision is continuing despite differences of opinion
regarding definition of service areas , planning areas , reserve capacity
and intermunicipal approvals . Stay tuned on this as the three
municipalities continue the debate.
Bolton Point agreement should be revised or amended as we
approach the final bond payment in 1996 . Issues include ownership
of reserve capacity , extension of water to non- member municipalities
and future capital improvements . As the largest user and financial
contributor ( more than 50%) , the Town has a large stake in the
outcome.
Movement toward a New Town Hall has bogged down again .
Consideration of the he appraisals of our high priory sites represents a
decision point. We need to focus here folks and move forward again .
I have had several interesting discussions , including one with Cornell
about an East Hill Site and with a Mayoral hopeful about the City Hall
Annex .

WATER PROJECTS
The Troy Road and Coddington Road water extension project is
substantially complete . Final restoration is nearing
completion .
Three Town water storage tanks were inspected during May . The
inspections included draining the tank , entering the tank to
inspect the internal coating system , operation of all valves
and controls , inspection of the cathodic protection system and
inspection of the exterior coating . The inspection reports
will be the basis for scheduled maintenance on the tanks . The
Ridgecrest tank was inspected during the week of May 1 , and
was in good condition except for the interior coating which
was in very poor condition . The sapsucker Woods tank was
inspected the week of May 8 , and was in generally good
condition except for the interior coating and the general tank
site which is very overgrown and needs to be cleaned up to
prevent damage to the tank and fence . The Danby Road tank was
inspected the week of May 22 , and was in good condition except
for portions of the exterior coating which needs repair , and
some site drainage deficiencies .
Survey work required for the evaluation of a proposed new
water tank on the East Hill will be completed this Spring and
early Summer with the assistance of Cornell student interns .
The survey information will be utilized in developing a water
system model using the Cybernet computer program . A model for
the South Hill water system is currently being developed and
will be used to assist in system optimization and reviewing
the impacts of several development projects along Danby Road .
The Town. Engineering staff is working with Bolton Point staff
to implement the master metering program for connections to
the water transmission main . The SCLIWC agreement includes a

Town Clerk / Receiver of Taxes
Monthly Report - May 1995
Records Management : The Indexing Grant is presently at a
standstill due to major problems with the computer and software
programs . It was necessary to purchase a new 486 computer with
additional me=mory in order that the Word Perfect 6 . 0 for Windows
could be utilized as planned .
Suzanne Etherington , Certified Archivist will again with us towards
the end of June . It is hoped the conversion of the records from
the Word Perfect 5 . 1 to the Word Perfect 6 . 0 will be accomplished
at that time .
All grant funding requirements under SARA will be met by
requisitioning and encumbering the funds for the temporary help ,
and the last few days of service by the Certified Archivist .
Unfortunately , the indexing itself will not be completed by the
deadline , but will be done throughout the remainder of the year .
The New York State Local Governments Records Association invited me
to speak at their annual conference in Rochester on June 5 , to
explain our progress and problems with the indexing grant . It was
a wonderful opportunity and learning experience for me , and I was
very happy to have been honored by my colleagues in this manner .
Town Clerk : The 175th Historical Anniversary Celebration Committee
met and continued discussions related to the activities which will
be planned during 1996 . Work continued on the main idea of placing
historical markers throughout the Town explaining the history of
the location:) . A press release was sent to the media to solicit
volunteers to help with the celebration , and unfortunately no one
as yet has volunteered .
TAX COLLECTION : The taxes were turned over to the county on June
6 , as our collection ended on May 31 , ( see attached report ) . A
discussion ensued with Lisa Stephens , Budget & Finance Manager and
David Squires , Finance Director about the solid waste fee and the
possible near tax program . A meeting will be held with the
Receivers in. the next few weeks to review the projected new
program . Ms . Stephens and Mr . Squires said the program is only
being considered because it would allow accounting of the solid
waste fee , rPhe present system does not .
They also requested open minded cooperation among the Receivers at
the meeting in viewing the program . They hope to show the benefits
of the program to us , rather than debate the legal issue of the fee
being added to the bill . I agreed the legal issue is a decision to
be made by the Town Boards and the County Board of Representatives .

COMMITTEE REPORT US Post Office Consumer Relations
Some Danby Road residents have a problem cutting through traffic
to get to their mail boxes . The Town looked into this 2 or 3 years
ago , and I was, asked to inquire again . Attached is the explanation
from Postmaster Gatch . He is very interested in being responsive
to consumer questions , so please let me know if there is anything
I should bring up with the committee . Of course it isn ' t always
possible to do anything about the problem , but at least he explains .

Carolyn :
Attached , is a map with the carriers route and line of travel highlighted . The arrows
show the direction of travel delivering mail .
Delivery starts; in the city and proceeds up Danby Road to W King . He then
proceeds to Stone Quarry Road and delivers all the way down to Spencer Rd .
As you can see from the map he does not return via the Danby Road .
In order to deliver the mail coming back on Danby Road , we would first have to
reverse the delivery pattern by starting on Stone Quart' Road . All residents on
Stone Quarry would have to move their boxes across the road . Delivery of mail
going up Stone Quarry in the winter would be nearly impossible .
Another drawback to this delivery pattern is that the businesses now would be on
the end of the route and would be delivered late in the day . Whenever possible we
try to deliver a business first.
I hope that I have answered your questions satisfactorily . Let me know.
Thank You ,
