Drake , Human Resources i'v1anager i Agenda Item 5 Town of Ithaca Information Technology Committee 's Monthly Report Town of Ithaca Town Board, July 7, 1997 Current Issues The software training on Windows and Microsoft Office was completed. Town staff is still in the transition phase . We have set a target date of September 1 , 1997, for all employees to use Microsoft Office Suite exclusively. Some Information Technology Committee (IT) members reported that, due to technical problems, it will be a slow process . The IT Committee discussed and solicited the services of a local internet access company. It received quotes from three companies and selected Lightlink. The committee also decided that the Town should continue with just three mailboxes . One in the Town Clerk' s Office (downstairs) , one in Planning Department (upstairs) , and on at the Highway Department (106 Seven Mile Drive) . This will serve all Town Department' s adequately. Gail Kroll informed the Committee that the Auctioneer needs a list of articles for the September Auction by August 8 , 1997 . The Committee decided to ask the Board for sealed bids for the three surplus computers the Town currently has. If there is no interest , we would like to send them to auction . PURCHASES The hardware needed to run the new software (Microsoft Office Suite) has been purchased, installed, and they are working fine . Due to an oversight, another round of purchases is being considered to accommodate the needs of the Town Justices, The Highway Department purchased a network hub so that the "trailer" (which houses two Engineering employees and one Highway employee) and the Highway office will be linked. The Accounting Department is currently in the process of upgrading the Accounting Package . This will be installed around June 23 , 1997. Future Issues The IT Committee continues to discuss a Web Page . Most members have discussed this with their respective Department and are compiling a list of items to be considered for web publication . . John Wolff indicated that we need to decide what must be on the page initially and what will eventually be added to the page as the Town uses of the web. We will send the initial list to the Board for their approval . Some IT members expressed concern about putting full sets of minutes on the page. The Committee acknowledges that we also need policies and procedures for the Web Page, along with internet access . We will work on these as soon as possible. There was a discussion about hiring a Computer Administrator. There are a large number of technical needs that are not being adequately met by our current resources. This person might also be available for updating a Web Page, trouble shooting, and any other issues related to computer work. The IT Committee is preparing a full memorandum on this subject that will be made available to the Town Board for consideration during the budget process . glik .. .�' Poo CITY OF ITHACA 310 WEST GREEN STREET ITHACA, NEW YORK 14850 OFFICE OF TEL (607) 272-1234 BOARD OF FIRE COMMISSIONERS FAX (607) 272.2793 Catherine Valentino , Supervisor Town of Ithaca Monday July 7 , 1997 Report of Fire Commissioners 1 .

The purpose of this inventory . was to determine if any of the species listed in the "Tompkins County Environmental Management Council and Cornell Plantations report titled " Unique Natural Areas of Tompkins County" r , .. . (hereafter referred to as the UNA) for the area identified as I"T-8 (South Hill Swamp) occur on your property. In the course of conducting this site walkover, we also identified the vegetation community types present on your property. As 1 have discussed with you previously, aerial photographs of the site clearly .1 Lid l show that the entire property has been farmed in the past. Since the cessation of farming, the property has become dominated by a shrub thicket (which is one of iaa Low # f the vegetation community types listed in the UNA). A few small patches of ►., , . . meadow (also identified in the UNA) were noted within the shrub thicket, but they were rather insignificant and most occurred within the mowed roadway qo through the property. The dominant species on your property include gray dog- ��� wood (Cornus foemina) and arrowwood ( Viburnum recognitum), which are very ;.. ... . . common in abandoned agricultural fields throughout New York State. fz One vegetation community type that we did not find on your property is wet- s��`�z land. We noted a few sedges (Carex species), but these occurred in tire ruts in J the mowed roadway that winds through the site. We did not notice anything that Lod . would qualify as a wetland under Federal or State jurisdiction. :Regarding my qualifications for this type of work I have Bachelors and Masters r �1iY �r degrees in Botany and, over the past 20 years, have conducted vegetation inven- .I tories (including rare species searches) in New Hampshire, Massachusetts, Con- i. K }h necticut, Pennsylvania, New York, New Jersey, Wisconsin, and Texas. For the past 10 years, I have conducted wetland delineations and assessments in Maine, [ New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, Connecticut, Pennsylvania, Massa- chusetts, and Puerto Rico. I have worked extensively with the U. S. Army Corps of Engineers in the Buffalo and New York districts, and have never had a wet- 4::1yfC: 4 4'�rRdtil t� 4i ,: j� }'=:: 309 Palmer Drive ■ Fayetteville, New York IN 13066 ■ 315.637.3701 ■ email breuter887 ® aol.com Mr. Evan Monk meyer June 26, 1997 page 2 land delineation rejected by either district. I believe my education and professional experience in plant ecology and wetlands adequately address my qualifications to conduct a vegetation inventory of your property, including the identification of wetland community types.

Our only entrance/exit is on Route 96 , the "Trumansburg Road . " There are eight houses on the road . At this time , the owners of four of those houses are living elsewhere , though one of them will be returning next year. Richard Berggren (who resides on nearby Williams Glen Road ) is the present owner of the road as well as two small pieces of land on the road . But the present owners of the residences on the road and their predecessors on the road have been responsible for the maintenance of the road , including yearly snowplowing , for at least the past sixty-five years without any aid from Mr. Berggren or previous owners of the road . According to NYS Consolidated Laws Service 17A p . 326 , § 315 , "Credit on private road . Any person living upon a private road ma be credited on account to his highway taxes in any year an amount equal to the value e t e work which the town superintendent may deem necessary to be done in such year upon such road . . . . " Hillcrest Drive has been a town - approved subdivision since at least June 21 , 1932 (the date of the earliest map we have so far been able to locate ) . For at least sixty -five (65) years the owners of property on this road have paid Town taxes which have included monies for highway and road maintenance without receiving any compensation for such maintenance of our road . " Today , we the undersigned are joined in asking the Town to at least give us partial compensation for the sixty - five years of taxes paid by us and our predecessors on the road , by having the ditch along the west side of the road cleared out and the road graded . rye ) vcv + Attached is an estimate made last yearsby William Proctor for this project . Because we are not able to afford this much - needed maintenance work we ask the Town ( under the mandate of § 315 ) to either perform the work or to pay for the work being done .

HAZLITT' ( 607 ) 273- 6841 ( NOT FOR SERVICE OF PAPERS) 'ALSO ADMITTED IN MARYLAND a WASHINGTON , D. C. Town Board Meeting 7/7/97 Report on South Hill Trail Easement July 2, 1997 TO: HONORABLE CATHERINE VALENTINO AND MEMBERS OF THE TOWN OF ITHACA TOWN BOARD : At the last Town Board meeting you asked for us to review the easement for the South Hill Trail given by Therm, Inc. to answer the question of whether the Town had an exclusive right to control use of the easement area or whether others might also be permitted rights in the property. We have concluded that the Town does not have exclusive rights and that the owner of the parcel may grant others the right to cross the area, provided the grant to others does not interfere with the use of the easement premises by the Town for trail and water and sewer purposes, The above conclusion is based upon several provisions of the document: 1 . The specific grant of the easement is of a " permanent right of way " to construct and maintain " a recreational trail and appurtenances " to be used by the Town and general public " for recreational purposes and for underground water and sewer lines only. " 2. Paragraph 8 of the easement restates that " the property shall be used for recreational, sewer and water purposes only . . . " ry` r 3 . In paragraph 2 of the easement the grantor expressly reset d theunderlying fee : title � ., y to " the easement area, "subject to, the rights and pnviTeges herei granted Ito the Town. `' Clearly the Town was granted less than the fee title to the property, thereby reserving rights oilier than those expressly conveyed to the Town for the continuing use of (or subsequent conveyance by) the original grantor. Thus conveyance to another of the privilege to cross the easement area for access to a private home, for example , would be a right that was retained by and could be conveyed by the original grantor. However, while title was retained, the exercise of title privileges is subject to the rights granted to the Town. Thus, for instance, it would be July 2 , 1997 Page 2 incompatible with the rights granted to the Town for the Owner to construct and maintain some sort of four lane boulevard along the trail. This clearly would be inconsistent with the grant of an easement for " recreational trail" purposes. 4. Interestingly, there are a couple of provisions in the easement document which strengthen the Town' s ability to exert some control over other uses that may be granted: (a) Paragraph 3 requires the Town, when doing any work, to normally restore the property to its state pre-work except it states "Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing shall prevent the Town from installing a trailway, planting vegetation within the easement area, excavating or modifying the terrain within the easement area, and making modifications and changes to the property over which the Trail itself. actually passes without being obliged to restore such property to the prior condition. " (b) Paragraph 8 states the "Town agrees that the Town' s rules and regulations regarding trails shall apply to the trail contained within the easement given by this instrument. " While these provisions do not prohibit other uses of the easement area, they clearly circumscribe other uses and are the underpinning for our conclusion that uses inconsistent with trail uses may not be granted.
