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 .

Dear Evan :
t On June 10, 1996 , "ferry Roswick and I conducted a site walkover of the Ithaca
> ?;_ I Estates property. 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-

property, including the identification of wetland community types.

Date of acceptance
To : Kathy Valentino , Town of Ithaca Town Supervisor and Town Board Members
From : Owners of Residences on Hillcrest Drive , Town of Ithaca
Date : July 2 , 1997
We the Undersigned are owners of residences on Hillcrest Drive , a privately owned and
dead - end road a mile south of the hospital . 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 .

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.
