Space changes are taking place at Central Station . Files and cabinets are being added . The spac
crunch that they have is chronic and is real . Proceeds from the sale of Company Number 7 Station
will help to alleviate some of the problems .
Chief Wilbur indicated that the 800- megahertz project is currently caught up in a complicated political
process . The Sheriff has taken a stand , which is slowing the progress . There have been old system
breakdowns recently. This has illustrated the need for a new system .
Supervisor Valentino , is there another fire contract negotiation meeting?
Supervisor Valentino — Yes . It is Tuesday, June 20 , 2000 at 8 : 30 a . m .
Agenda Item No 3 — Report of Tompkins County Board of Representatives.
Michael Koplinka- Loehr , Board of Representatives — The County is exploring different ways for the
public to give the County feedback and to get more information out of the public. The County does
have a Public Information Officer, Wendy Skinner. She does a lot of work getting press releases out .
The Public Information Advisory Board gives the Board of Representatives advice . They are also
trying new strategies for getting input and information out of the public .
The County had a forum on the tobacco settlement money. We had a study circle Saturday, Jun
10 th They learned for 3 hours and then gave recommendations . The cell tower issue is a forum thi
evening . We are trying a variety of ways to receive input .
Supervisor Valentino — I have talked with Ms . Skinner and Barbara Mink . I was concerned that the
input from the tobacco settlement was only from private citizens and the public. Elected officials
were not allowed . I can understand why there would be that type of forum . I think that it is
unfortunate that the elected officials from the towns and villages do not have a forum to bring up the
topics that concern them to the County, specifically budget issues . We are fiscal officers and have to
do budgets . The County is missing a very important group of people that could give valuable input .
It would help strengthen the relationship between the County and the towns . It seems that the
County does not like it when the municipal officers come to the County Board meetings . They want
us to do it on a one-to- one basis . I do not think that it accomplishes what needs to be done to link
elected officials and the public . I urged Ms . Mink and Ms . Skinner to think about a committee that
can tap into that resource .
Mr. Koplinka- Loehr — It is a valid concern . I know that we have had some difficulties . I think that the
Municipal Officers Association is moving the meeting so that the County is able to attend .
Supervisor Valentino — The Association felt that we had a lot of issues that we had to work out
among ourselves . It turned out to be valuable dialog . We still have not voted to include the County
or the City as members . We are moving towards meeting every month . One month the Associatio
will meet amongst ourselves to discuss issues that concern us . The alternate months we will invi
the County and the City.

Councilman Niederkorn — What is the progress of the Quality of Life Committee ?
Mr. Koplinka-Loehr — It has been a slow start . It is a committee of 30 citizens . The basic process of
group operations took about 3 months . We have initial categories to look at quality of life . We are
going to ask a variety of groups in the community if we have the right categories and if we have
missed any. After we receive input , we will begin to decide on the indicators and the measures .
Councilman Lesser — Is the County surveying the citizens and voters ? They can often provide other
useful opinions .
Mr. Koplinka- Loehr — It is being considered . Five years ago there was a survey done Countywide
about the budget issues . It was used for every purpose . It was used as a shield and a barb . It was
not as productive as we had hoped . There are surveys from other communities that we are looking
at .
Agenda Item No. 5 - PERSONS TO BE HEARD.
There were no persons present to be heard.
Lkgenda Item No. 8 — Establishment of Committee to Review Town Supervisor Position .
Supervisor Valentino — We began making substantial changes in the way the Town operates the last
year of John Whitcomb's Town Supervisor term . We added the five department heads . We gave
them more authority to run their departments . We set up our department head meetings after I
became Supervisor. We have gone through the reclassification of all positions . We are reviewing
them again . We have done everything but analyze the Supervisor' s position .
I thought this would be an appropriate time to do so . There is no political pressure . There is no
Supervisor election coming up . It is a good time to put together a committee to look at the position .
We need to think about if -it should remain part-time or become full-time position . We need to look at
if there should be an administrative assistant . We need to look at how other towns are managing .
We need to position ourselves to be ready for the changes that are happening,
I asked Councilman Conley if he would be willing to chair the committee . He is willing to do so . I
have asked Councilman Klein and Councilwoman Grigorov if they would be willing to serve on the
committee. They have a good history of how the Town has changed and how it operates . Noel
Desch , former Supervisor, and John Whitcomb , former Supervisor, have agreed to serve on the
corn m ittee .
Councilman Niederkorn — Has this been done before?
Supervisor Valentino — I do not think it has been done before .

Councilman Conley — I have spent a lot of time thinking about this. I have talked with Mrs . Drake an
Supervisor Valentino. I have talked with the Conference of the Mayors and the Association of the
Towns . In the past , the Supervisors performed certain duties . Over the last few years , we have
gotten into a tremendous amount of new things . We are into a situation where we are negotiating
contracts that may bring us together in water and sewer. We are negotiating contracts to bring youth
and recreation services together.
Supervisor Valentino has been spending a lot of time on the committees . There are many things
coming up . I think it is important to take a good look at what the Supervisor' s position is and what we
want it to be . This will prevent any confusion in future elections . There will be a lot to it . Board
members will need to help work on the committees . We need to define the position so that there are
no mistakes in the future .
Councilman Niederkorn — It will be interesting to see the historical perspective of Mr. Desch and Mr.
Whitcomb and how the functions have evolved over the years .
Councilman Conley — Mr . Desch and Mr. Whitcomb have said that they would not have been able to
maintain their jobs while being Supervisor. Things are becoming more and more complicated .
Supervisor Valentino — It is fair to whoever is elected next that they know the perimeters and what is
expected . They need to understand the job . It is not fair in some ways for someone to get elect
and have false expectations of how light the workload is .
Councilman Conley — It is also important to have a definition for those who want to run for
Supervisor. It will describe what is expected of them to do . In the future we might need to look
towards an administrator . We cannot expect the Supervisor to continue doing the things she is
doing .
Supervisor Valentino — It is important to look at the other towns and see how they are dealing with it .
Councilwoman Grigorov — Some municipalities have a hired manager. We need to see how it works .
Councilman Conley — I hope that all board members become involved . We need to look at it closely .
Councilman Lesser — I would like to make a small wording change . Under Resolved , could it say that
the Town appoints the committee instead of ratify?
Supervisor Valentino — This is language that Attorney Barney wanted in the resolution .
Councilman Lesser — Many things are becoming more political . I do not know if someone could
misconstrue somebody appointing a committee that reviews their position .
Councilwoman Grigorov — We are able to vote on it .

Agenda Item No. 12 — Water/Sewer Benefit Assessment Refund.
Supervisor Valentino — I have been having on going dialog with Mr. Goodhew. He was writing letters
regarding the years he wanted a correction to his assessment . He kept saying 1998 . 1 wrote him a
letter saying that he received his refund for 1999 . He cannot receive a refund for 1998 . We looked
at his paperwork. We discovered that it was the year 2000 that he meant . We did a correction for
the year 2000 .

Agenda Item No. 10 — Payment to Tompkins County for " Pennies Accrual " .
Supervisor Valentino — This has been an on going debate for several years . The County rounds the
tax rate . By doing this , they collect more money than the warrant. They keep an account for each
municipality. They never told us that they did this until we discovered it . They have been using this
lmoney to pay refunds on tax adjustments and legal actions where assessments have been changed .
We questioned if it is a proper way to do things . They looked at their records . They told us that we
were in arrears by $71 , 000 for our pennies account . I said that we wanted to see the background
documentation of what we owe and how it was decided that we owe the money. We do not have
anything prior to 1995 . From 1996 and on , they showed us the adjustments that had to be made . It
was confirmed with our own records .
I was upset that the County does not do better accounting of money that they have coming into them ,
I was also upset it got to that extent before anyone noticed it . At that point David Squires suggested
that the money be taken from our next sales tax amount . I pointed out that it would be wrong . We
would not have a clear record . That is not the way to do it under the law.
Mrs . Noteboom , Mr. Carvill , and Attorney Barney looked at the law. They looked at the way it is to be
appropriately done . I requested that we pass a resolution by the Town Board so that we have clear
documentation of what happened and how it shall be done in the future . The $71 , 000 should be
levied against the next year's taxes . The law says we could have up to five years to pay it back . We
said we would pay it back in three years . We are saying that the pennies account will be zeroed out
June of each year.
Mr . Carvill — It will be zeroed out the June of each year once the Receiver of Taxes settles with the
County. The levy will balance with the collections .
Councilman Klein — I thought that we had put the Kendall refund in a reserve .
TOWN BOARD PAGE 8 JUNE 12 , 20
APPROVED - APPROVED - APPROVED - JULY 10, 2000 - APPROVED - APPROVED - APPROVED
Supervisor Valentino — We did .
Councilman Klein — Was it paid? I thought we still had the reserve.
Supervisor Valentino — Yes, we do . I was angry because the County told us that it was settled . We
had thought about zeroing the reserve . We assumed it had been paid . They told us the action was
coming up . We set money aside for it .
Councilman Klein — Could they pay the Kendall money and reduce the arrears?
Mr. Carvill — There is an $8 million assessment in the hands of the court . The outcome is undecided .
It has potential of another $26 , 000 tax refund .
Supervisor Valentino — Hopefully, if the County follows what we have asked them , it will never
happen again .
Councilman Lesser — Could these issues be predicted ?
Supervisor Valentino — Assessment notifies the Town . Mr. Whicher does notify us of pending
actions .
Mr. Carvill — The County Department of Finances chose not to appraise the Town . They chose not
route the settlement in the ensuing year's tax roll so that it could be cleaned up appropriately. Mo
of the other towns and villages within Tompkins County have permitted the County to take from their
sales tax distribution through out the year. We have made the election not to go that route .
Supervisor Valentino — The Municipal Officers Association would like me to report back to them on
this subject . The other officers are saying that they will probably follow our lead .
Councilman Niederkorn — Who has to accept this for the County?
Mr. Carvill — It would be David Squires . He is the finance director.
Councilwoman Russell — Does the County have the flexibility to change this to be payments made
over three years given the section of the Real Property Tax Law that require the amounts to be
included in the next annual budget?
Attorney Barney — The problem is that they did not do that . The Town could take the position that we
were not notified timely to enable us to put it in the next year' s budget . Therefore , we do not owe it "at
all .
Supervisor Valentino — They offered to let us pay it over a period of time . We want to make sure it is
cleaned up and we comply with the law.
Councilman Klein — Does this come out of the Townwide fund ?
TOWN BOARD PAGE 9 JUNE 12 , 2000
APPROVED - APPROVED - APPROVED - JULY 10, 2000 - APPROVED - APPROVED - APPROVED
Mr. Carvill — It will come out of each one of the appropriate funds that it has impacted through the
assessment or through the change of assessment . It will be an add-on to the year 2000 budget .
Supervisor Valentino — It will be done through the appropriate accounts . The County needs to
comply with this .
Resolution No. 76 - Tompkins County "Pennies " Adjustment Account.
WHEREAS, over the years Tompkins County, when preparing fax bills for the Town of Ithaca,
has rounded the amount of each tax bill Mg to the nearest penny; and
WHEREAS, such rounding has created revenues in excess of the amounts set forth in the
Town 's budget estimate submitted to the County for tax collection; and
WHEREAS, the County has deposited such excess revenues into a "penny adjustment
account". and
WHEREAS, over the years the County has paid out of the penny adjustment account amounts
due as a result of assessment reductions, allegedly improper assessments for water and/or sewer or
other amounts; and

surplus to the credit of the Town of approximately $9, 500. 00, and

County have exceeded the revenues generated by the excess tax collections resulting in a total
deficit due from the Town to the County, according to the County's calculations, of approximately
$71 , 222. 41 as of May 1 , 2000; and
WHEREAS, the County is requesting the Town pay that amount to the County, and
WHEREAS, certain of the amounts incurred by the County on behalf of the Town were
payments resulting from assessment reductions due to the settlement or other conclusion of claims
for reduced assessments by taxpayers, in particular Conrail, Monkmeyer, and Kendall; and
WHEREAS, such settlements or other dispositions occurred during the years 1996 through
1998; and
WHEREAS, the Town was not notified within a reasonable period of time after such settlement
payment that such payments were being made on behalf of the Town: and

WHEREAS, Section 726 of the New York State Real Property Tax law requires the Town 111
include in its next annual budget any amounts charged to the Town by reason of such payments by
the County, and
WHEREAS, because of the delay by the County in advising the Town of such payments the
Town was unable to comply with the provisions of Section 726, and
WHEREAS, certain other adjustments were made by the County related to water, sewer or fire
assessment charges against properties owned by the State of New York; and
WHEREAS, these adjustments occurred in 1996; and
WHEREAS, the Town was not notified of such adjustments within a reasonable period of time
of the making of the adjustments; and
WHEREAS, Section 558 of the Real Property Tax Law requires the Town to include in its next
annual budget any amounts charged to the Town by reason of such adjustments by the County; and

Agenda Item No. 6 — Computer Network Systems for the New Town Hall .
Lisa Titti , Network Records Technician — Last month I presented the range of options that we were
looking at for our network design . I have met with the department heads . We went over safety and
security networking . We also went over Internet services . I met with Mr. Carvill to discuss funding for
the project . We were able to find the money in the year 2000 budget line . We decided on spreading
this network into phases . This is our first phase .
We will be purchasing one server that will provide file , print and e- mail services . The original
presentation was for two servers . The LAN switches are three pieces of equipment that are spread
throughout the network . The router and firewall hardware is in regards to our Internet access . The
software includes the operating system . We chose to go with Windows NT 4 . 0 server. The back- up
software , anti-virus software, and network management software are key components . We have
back- up equipment built into next year' s budget so that we meet fault tolerance requirements . We
can only be down for so long for certain things .

I chose to go with Clarity Connects SDSL service . We looked at Time Warner Cable as well . I chose
DSL because of the proximity of where we are to their main hub . Their main hub is in the DeWitt
Mall . I did a lot of research . It is growing in options of Internet services providers .
Supervisor Valentino — It does cost a lot less.
Ms . Titti — The Internet options range from $8 , 000 to $23 , 000 . We have e - mail services for all the
users in Town Hall . We decided to have Internet connections for 10 users . Each department will
have a direct line into the Internet . We will have four connections that allow dial in solutions to our
server. One is the Highway Department . We are looking at Bolton Point in the future . The other two
connections are bought.
The last component is network installation and training. It is just as high as the hardware cost . We
have been planning this network for a year and a half. The success of the network is going to be
how it is installed , how it is set- up and how we have planned it . I have chosen to go with SHERPA
Technologies to install and configure the components of the network. They are the specialists . We
have been working with them . They know which components to install and how to test it .
Councilwoman Russell — How much training will we be getting?
Ms . Titti — They will be working with me as they install the network . We have been able to hav
someone in Town Hall as a back up to certain components .
Councilwoman Russell — Will they be working with staff to train other staff?
Ms . Titti — No . It will be my obligation . There will be small differences at the desktop .
Councilman Klein — How many stations will be networked ?
Ms . Titti — Every PC in the Town Hall will be networked . This includes the Town Justices ,
Councilman Klein — Is there a need to have the Justices networked ?
Mr. Carvill — The Justices need to be networked because they are electronically transmitting reports .
The State system does not take them in paper form .
Councilman Klein — How much growth are we looking for? I do not see us having too much growth .
Ms . Titti — The network that we have planned for is for 50 users . Considering that technology
changes , we expect the life of the network to be about 3 years .
Councilman Klein — How would they incrementally charge ?

APPROVED - APPROVED - APPROVED - JULY 10, 2000 - APPROVED - APPROVED - APPROVED
Ms . Titti — Some of the cost savings would be in licensing the number of software for e- mail . The
size of the hard drive would be different . This server will have four 18-gig hard drives . We have built
in for growth . The hardware costs would be scaled back .
Councilman Klein — Each system would be licensed for word processing . Each station will not need
to have access into Williamson Law Book. It will recognize which station needs access into which
program .
Mr. Walker — Our software is loaded on the individual station .
Councilman Klein — I do not see that we will expand to 50 employees within the next 3 years . How
much money are we spending needlessly by going with such a large server?
Ms . Titti — The cost is not in blocks of users when talking about the size of the server . The size of the
server will meet our fault tolerance needs and how long we expect to be down when someone cannot
print or send a-mail . It has less to do with the number of users and more to do with how you want
your network to perform . There needs to be the same performance for 30 users as there is for 50
users . To look at a cheaper server that would meet 30 users would be moving in a direction away
from our goals of performance and false tolerance.
Councilman Klein — Why would that be? Thirty is too small . Fifty is too many. Forty seems to be
right .
Councilwoman Russell — Would we still get enough false tolerance if we went to a system that was
built for forty users ?
Supervisor Valentino — The equipment that we have pointed to is exactly to meet the needs that she
has heard staff and department heads say they would want to see in their network .
Councilman Lesser — It does not sound as if the system have the capacity for 50 . It has capacity for
50, but is comfortable at 27 . It does not sound as if it can handle 50 users at the same service level
for 27 .
Ms . Titti — There are other components built into it .
Mr. Walker — There are a couple of factors . One is the hardware factor. The connections to the
server are in increments of 12 . We need a connection point for each element on your system . Every
printer will have a connection point into it . If there are 25 users and 12 peripheral advises , you need
37 ports available . Then increment is 48 . It could not handle 50 scientist doing high volume
computations . It could handle 75 people using word processing and Microsoft Office package .
Everyone is not a high intensity user. There are 6 people using Microstation and the GIS system .
They put a big load on the system . Then there are others who occasionally type a letter or checking
a data bases . If we were running three workstations between Planning and Engineering that use
TOWN BOARD PAGE 14 JUNE 12 , 200
APPROVED - APPROVED - APPROVED - JULY 10, 2000 - APPROVED - APPROVED - APPROVED
Microstation or Archview, it probably would not be able to handle 30 or 40 comfortably. It would sio
down . Sixty . people using Microsoft Office could use the system and there would not be a difference .
[Ms . Titti - In the original plan there were two pieces of equipment . One server handled files and print
services . The other handled the e- mail services . We were able to handle one piece of equipment to
rneet those needs .
Councilman Klein — We will have ten lines for Internet services .
Ms . Titti — Ten people can be on - line at once . If user number 11 tries to access the web , they are
unable to do so . This does not mean that everyone will have Internet capability.
Councilman Klein — Does each one have a dedicated phone line?
Ms . Titti — There is one phone number, but it can handle 10 users .
Councilman Klein - We are not paying for 10 phone lines . What is the subscription service?
Ms . Titti — It is $ 199 . 00 per month . We are subscribing to a pipeline that has the capability of
transmitting the large files with the speed that they are looking for. We are charged $ 199 . 00 per
month for burstable service . if we exceed the 128 pipeline , then they re-evaluate and the rates ar
adjusted . We are far away from exceeding the bandwidth .
The draw back to RoadRunner was that it cost $399 . 00 per month . We would also have to configur
individual workstations . This allows us to have flexibility.
Councilman Klein — Are there multiple e-mail addresses?
Ms . Titti — It is for 50 users. Every employee and Town Board members could have an e- mail
address . It would be on our own server.
Councilman Klein — There have been many viruses . They have said that the cable modem is more
susceptible to viruses because they are constantly on . Is this a safer situation ?
Ms . Titti — It is safer in the fact that we have built in some of the costs for firewails . We are
purchasing equipment as a firewall and software to run it . We have another buffer because we are
going through Clarity Connect's DSL. They also have a firewall . We have two fire walls set- up . it is
an advantage . Nothing is going to prevent anyone from breaking into a network or ping off a network .
This will always be on . We will not have to dial up . We have asked to have software management
tools built in .
Councilman Klein — This has a 3- year life span . What will be doing over again ?
Ms . Titti — There were two options as far as the routers and fire walls . The option we chose suit o
needs now and we could add onto it . The other option locked us into one type of technology . If w

chose to do something different we would need to buy different equipment . I have tried to plan a
flexible network .
Supervisor Valentino — Ms. Titti has listened to concerns of staff and department heads . She has
worked hard at addressing our concerns . We agreed that this would work .
Councilman Klein — The cable is costing $20 , 000 .
Mr. Carvill — The cable cost was reduced to $9 , 845 . We are doing it in -house . We have paid for it .
Mr. Walker — We hired our electrical contractor to do it . They did it for much less .
Supervisor Valentino — We feel this is our best option .
Mr. Carvill — The $50 , 000 for the initial start- up of Phase I for the 3-year plan was budgeted for in the
Capital Project as part of the project plan . It has been shifted into the general fund .
Supervisor Valentino — We originally planned to spend $ 125 , 000 . We decided that we would like to
stage it. Staging it will allow, us to adjust to our needs .
Councilman Klein — Does the purchase of SHERPA conform to our current policy?
Mr. Carvill — SHERPA is a distributor of Compaq . Compaq is under State contract . We are
compliant with State purchasing requirements .
Agenda Item No. 7 — Possibility of Assignment of PILOT Agreement Related to Ellis Hollow
Road Apartments.
Attorney Barney — When the Ellis Hollow Apartment Complex was constructed , the then developer
was required to request the Town for tax abatement for their project . The Town granted it . It was
agreed that for so long it was operated under statutes that applied to low income housing for the
elderly the Town would accept payment in lieu of taxes . It was calculated by reference to a fiat rate
of $20, 000 or 10% of their rental revenue , whichever was greater. Over the years we accepted the
$20 , 000 . The 10% revenue was higher. In recent years we have been receiving 10% of the
revenue .
They are in the process of selling to Home Properties . Home Properties would like to continue to
operate as low- income housing . They request the Town 's consent for the assignment of the
Payment in Lieu of Taxes Agreement ,
Councilman Lesser — Is this permissible ?
Attorney Barney — It is permissible for the Town to reiterate that the agreement stays into effect . The
IDA might not consent to it .

Councilman Lesser — I think that this is important . We are fortunate to have nice low- incom
housing . It says in their request for as long as the property is rented to lour income , moderate-
income individuals . Is there a possibility that they could go with market rates in the future ?
Attorney Barney — This was originally financed with the Division of Housing and Community Renewal .
It was done under provisions, which was then known as the Mitchell Llama Laws . A special
corporation would have to be set up in which the return was limited . The rates are regulated . In
exchange, there were tax abatements and attractive loan rates . Once the mortgage is paid off , then
they can change their arrangements . We had an amendment done in 1994 to clean up some
ambiguities about it .
Councilman Lesser — The forty years will be up soon .
Attorney Barney — The original agreement was done in 1973 .
Councilwoman Russell — Attorney Barney, are you satisfied that we have the authority to sign this
agreement ?
Attorney Barney — Yes .

Agenda Item No. 11 -- Possibility of Local Law Reducing or Eliminating the Commercial Real
Estate Tax Abatement Under Section 45B of the Real Property Tax Law If Appropriate Set
Public Hearing .
Attorney Barney — The real property tax law of the State of New York provides that in most
commercial construction there is an automatic tax abatement for a period of 10 years that starts at
50% of the assessed value . It declines 5% per year over a 10-year period . Municipalities that take
no action are subject to that abatement . A municipality does have the option of doing something
different than the 50% down to zero . They have the option of reducing it . It cannot be increased .
Supervisor Valentino and I were not aware that this was mandated . There is an exception to that for
residential property. We are not clear that Altera is entitled to the tax abatement . The County
Assessment Department does the interpretation of the law. They have determined that Altera
qualifies for this exemption . It takes a Local Law to change this.
It would impact the Town tax. The School District can adopt it , but has not chosen to do so . The fire
would be reduced because it is based on assessment .
Supervisor Valentino — We need to look at the law. It is 50% for the first year. Would the board like
to look at this?
Councilman Lesser — Yes . I would like to look at it .
Supervisor Valentino — The County did not seem too happy that they had to allow it .
TOWN BOARD PAGE 18 JUNE 14 2000
APPROVED - APPROVED - APPROVED - JULY 10, 2000 - APPROVED - APPROVED - APPROVED
Councilman Klein — Does this impact the Longview property?
Attorney Barney — Longview is an IDA project . It is a residential facility. Altera provides medical
services . A motel or apartment house will not qualify.
Councilwoman Russell — We would not be able to have a different strategy for different types of
commercial development in the Town .
Attorney Barney — State Law defines commercial development . I did not look at different strategies .
Councilwoman Russell — There are some businesses that we might not want to encourage to come
into the Town .
Attorney Barney — I think that the law is that we use their definition . The only modification that we
can make is to the sliding scale percentage .
Supervisor Valentino — Longview is tax exempt .
Attorney Barney — The IDA generally requires an in lieu of taxes . They might be exempt under
something else .
The board indicated that they would like more information for the next board meeting.
Councilman Klein — Do we have any way of knowing the properties in the Town of Ithaca?
Mrs . Noteboom — It is handled through the IDA.
Supervisor Valentino — The County Assessment Department might have the information .
Councilman Klein — The County needs to adjust the assessment 5% each year . They must have a
list .
Attorney Barney — They would not necessarily know that it is IDA. Many times development is done
through the vehicle of the IDA so that they can avoid taxes .
Councilman Lesser — Could we ask the Codes and Ordinances Committee if they have suggestions
and how it would fit into the zoning? It might not make sense to offer it as an incentive and then zone
in ways that discourage .
Councilwoman Russell — It would be helpful if we could treat different types of properties differently.
Councilman Niederkorn — This is a very effective incentive for development . If the Town decides th
it does not want development , then do not offer incentives .

Agenda Item No. 14 - Recommendation from the Planning Board Regarding Owner
Occupancy Reauirements for Sapsucker Woods and Cayuga Vista Developments, Possibly
Set Public Hearina Date to Consider Same.
Mr. Frost - The Planning Board did have several people discussing this and providing their opinion .
There was a general consensus of the desire to change the law. We have Town Laws that include
property maintenance , occupancy and noise that would mitigate any concerns that people have .
There were a few people that voiced concerns about general maintenance on properties . I went up
the next day and did not find garbage out anywhere. There are a few properties with high grass .
There are a few buildings that need painting . We do not regulate aesthetics .
The original wisdom of the Town was to try to regulate student housing . I do not recall receiving
complaints about overcrowding or too many students at a property. 1 have not had complaints about
noise . I think that there was a consensus that noise was a problem . People have not called to voice
complaints .
Councilwoman Grigorov - Occupancy is very hard to regulate .
Mr. Frost - We did ask for birth certificates to try to find some association of family members at a
property.
Councilwoman Grigorov - There are many places where it is obvious occupancy requirements are
not followed . We cannot say that occupancy is sufficiently regulated by Town Law ,
Mr. Frost - We have had complaints . We do investigate occupancy complaints . They are difficult to
regulate . The noise issue is more difficult to regulate .
Mr. Kanter - It became clear that property maintenance needs to be controlled .
Councilwoman Grigorov - Mr. Frost , do you feel the situation could change with the restriction
removed ?
Mr. Frost - I do not think it will . I receive more complaints about family residences . We have a
property in one part of Town that has extraordinary amounts of garbage . This property was cited
many months ago . We went through Town Court . Ultimately the owner received additional periods
of two weeks to a month to clean up his property. He never did . He was fined $ 100 . 00 . He has not
paid the fine . I now have to go through the process again . The next step is to go through Supreme
Court . Cleaning up garbage also has limitations .

Supervisor Valentino — We need to enforce it or change it . We have had difficulty being able to
enforce the law effectively. Trying to make it comply is very hard to do . It is a law that is impossible
to deal with .
Mr. Frost — A gentleman present at the meeting owned a Sapsucker Woods Complex. He wrote
letters to Shirley Raffensperger complaining that he was maintaining his property as an owner
occupant and others were not . During the course of time he was divorced . He is now a non -owner
occupant . In some ways people have legitimate needs .
Attorney Barney — We would need to amend the Zoning Ordinance for Sapsucker Woods . It would
be a Local Law amending the Zoning Ordinance related to Sapsucker Woods. We would need a
resolution amending the requirement on Cayuga Vista .
Councilman Lesser — What is done now for current requests? What do we do to avoid getting into
another situation ?
Councilwoman Grigorov — There have not been other situations .
Mr. Frost — Owner occupancy requirements have not been handled by the Town . If there is , it is
made clear that the Town is not obligated in any fashion to do any enforcement . Sapsucker Woo
was being occupied when I first came to work for the Town .
Attorney Barney — We are careful in all restrictive covenants not to put the Town in the position th
they have to enforce something . The individual landowner may choose to enforce something .
Cayuga Vista is a restrictive covenant that the Town demanded be imposed . Sapsucker Woods was
offered to the Town .
There was a lawsuit the Town lost with respect to some of the buildings . It was argued that seven
unrelated people could not occupy them . The original Zoning Ordinance defined family as 7
unrelated people . The Town amended the Zoning Ordinance in the middle of construction .
Councilman Niederkorn — Is Cayuga Vista a homeowner' s association ?
Attorney Barney — Yes .
Councilman Niederkorn — Do the covenants restrict to owner occupied ?
Attorney Barney — Yes . The covenant cannot be changed or modified without the Town ' s approval .
Councilman Lesser — I would like to avoid an indirect route to multiple residence . If we believe a
location is appropriate for an apartment complex then we should zone and regulate it on that basis . I
find it inappropriate when someone makes a deal when it is clear it is not going to be that .

Agenda Item No. 15 - Purchase of Audio/Recording Equipment for the New Town Hall
Supervisor Valentino - Do we have anything on the audio/recording equipment?
Mr. Walker - No . Mr. Carvill is working on the budget . I have a preliminary cost estimate from one
company for a dual system . It is at the $9 , 000 level . I think that we can get a better quote . The
problem with an audio system is that they want to see the room before they recommend something .
The room is very close to being ready. The floor has not been carpeted .
Additional Agenda Item No. 1 - Budget Amendments
Mr. Carvill - I have examined the Town Hall Capital Project budget . Resolutions establishing and
authorizing this project were passed in 1997 and 1998, respectively. Expenditures for the Town Hall
were not to exceed $2 million . That budget was for architect fees , renovation and construction of the
physical aspects of the postal buildings . Additional commitments have arisen along the way ; i . el
furniture , furnishings , and the network administration ) . Considering these additional and unforeseen
costs and in keeping compliant to those Board Resolutions of '97 & '989 it became necessary to look
at the specs and how the construction of Town Hall was to be fiscally orchestrated . They (the
TOWN BOARD PAGE 22 JUNE 12 , 200
APPROVED - APPROVED - APPROVED - JULY 10, 2000 - APPROVED - APPROVED - APPROVED
additional costs} were not included as part of the project specs . It would be inappropriate to place
financial pressure on the capital project for the acquisition of our furniture , & network administration
when such costs were NOT within the scope of what is appropriated for a capital project of this type .
The Town Hall budget is a zero budget . The contract will meet the required demand of the Town
Board . The funds were set aside at $2 million to fully expense and meet the cost of the building .
There is $203 , 000 of uncommitted cash . I examined each budget line and addressed every portion
of the contract to make sure we were funding it correctly.
I needed to make sure we had enough money on hand to meet the present change orders and
enough funding to meet future change orders , There is a line of uncommitted monies . This is
remaining money to be budgeted for. This figure is $203 , 170 . 64. It lets everyone know what is left
on hand and remaining to cover any future needs that we may have .
We did not get another $200, 000 . We needed to readdress the budget . The furniture and the
network system were not part of that project . I had to re-examine the general fund . A cash
reconciliation worksheet is attached highlighting the cash flow of the capital project . It identifies the
available cash that we have on hand .
Supervisor Valentino — Some of the money comes from good investment returns. Mr. Carvill spent
lot of time making sure we account for everything that has been spent and needs to be spent . W
still have some change orders coming. Mr. Walker assures us that they will be well below $203 , 00
The bottom line is that we are going to be able to come in under the $2 million that we had said .
Councilman Klein — The architectural fees are significantly higher than the $54 , 000 .
Mr. Carvill — They are higher because part of the cost was accounted for in 1998 . When books are
closed year-end all money is returned to fund balance . The budget is re-established again at the
unexpended dollars . Otherwise we would be spending more than anticipated . Part of the cost is
reflected in the net fund balance .
Supervisor Valentino — We need to make a motion for the budget amendments .
Councilman Lesser — What is the ramification for the general budget for transferring the funds?
Mr. Carvill — In an examination of the general Townwide fund the impact to that is $ 124 , 000 of fund
balance . It is a large number. The degree of the impact of that number has to be examined as to
r fund balance within the general fund in the ensuing 2001 budget . We
what is the healthiness •f • u u �
need to relate it towards is tax rate . The impact of that is zero . The general fund Townwide has
maintained fund balance . They are healthy levels that we need as emergencies for this sort of
situation . Next year there is going to be another $50 , 000 to $65 , 000 for the expansion of the network
system . Our utility bills for the new facility are going to be higher. We have experienced health
revenues . I also looked at our tax rate asking ; "Would the removal of $ 100 , 000 have an impact on u
next year? The answer is NO .

Supervisor Valentino — Our sales tax revenue and other investments have left us in good condition .
Councilman Lesser - Is it appropriate at some point that we make another resolution about the total
costs and what the source of funds will be for moving into the New Town Hall ? We are talking about
construction funds . We have some unencumbered balances . We have some expected costs for
next year. Could we have another budget projection and say that 2 years from now what do we
expect the total expenditure to be and what fund sources are there to meet the anticipated
expenses ?
Mr. Carvill — I think that you will see part of that when we do the 2001 budget. At that time I will do an
annual analysis of those cost for maintaining the facilities . The numbers will arise automatically.

Additional Agenda Item No. 2 — Security System for New Town Hall .
Supervisor Valentino — Last month we discussed our new security system . Since that time , we have
looked at Town Hall . We wanted to ask the Town Board to consider putting two more doors on the
card system . One of them is by the Clerk' s Office and the other is the security door in the back . We
save about $ 1 , 000 . 00 doing it at this time . It is two doors that are really important for our employees
to have access and not have a separate key. It is to keep the general public secure .
Mr. Walker — If an employee were to come in a 7 : 45 a . m . , they would need a key to get through the
door to their workspace . The door would open at 8 : 00 a . m . and would be automatically locked at
4 : 00 p . m .
Mrs . Noteboom — Is there a door on the stairway down to the cellar?
Mr . Walker — Yes . it will be lacked . The elevator will also be locked .

Councilwoman Russell - Could someone enter the lobby, into the Town Boardroom and then access
the workroom space?
Mr. Walker - The door will be locked from both sides with a key. It is not necessary as an
emergency exit . It would be locked so that people would not be able to enter the workspace area
from the boardroom . The door from the boardroom into the hallway will be locked from the
boardroom side .
Councilman Klein - Will it be the same for the second conference room ?
Mr. Walker - The door will be locked from both sides .
Councilman Klein - Is there any concern to have the Justice area more secure?
Mr. Walker - We have an alarm buzzer in the Court Clerk's Office , Boardroom and Town Clerk's
Office . Their work area is secure. There is a buzzer in the Town Clerk's Office to open the door to
the workspace .
Mrs . Noteboom - It is my understanding that we were going to try to keep the door unlocked when
we first move in . The public would go directly back to the three secretaries .
Mr. Walker - We can automatically lock the doors at 4 : 00 p . m .
Supervisor Valentino - Each employee's BOB will be programmed for the doors that they are allowed
to open after hours.
Mr. Walker - We are using electric strips for the locks . We will have master keys . There will be a
box with the master keys on the outside of the building for the Fire Department .
Councilman Klein - Is there an emergency number to calf seven days a week in case we loose our
key so that they can lock out that number?
Supervisor Valentino - We would need to notify Mrs . Drake ,
Mrs . Drake - We will be taking care of that monitoring . We would have the option of having h
p gte
program on my computer at home if there is an emergency.
Councilman Klein - The only identifying mark on the key will be a number . It will not have a Town of
Ithaca logo.

Agenda Item No 13 — Route 366 Bridge Renovation Project.
Mr. Kanter — Mr. Walker and I attended the State Department of Transportation meeting a few weeks
ago on the Route 366 Bridge project .
This project is located between the intersections of Pine Tree Road and Judd Falls Road on Route
366 . It is a short stretch of bridge that crosses over Cascadilla Creek . The State' s main objection is
to replace the bridge because of the deteriorated structure . The State has looked at a number of
options for the bridge . The preferred concept design involves a four lane bridge . There would be two
through lanes and two turning lanes . Each lane would be twelve feet wide . - The shoulders would be
six feet wide . The project does not include sidewalks . The six foot wide shoulders would be able to
accommodate bicycles .
The alignment of the bridge would be shifted slightly to the north to straighten out the road . The Pine
Tree Road intersection would need to be shifted slightly north . The Pine Tree Road intersection is
opposite the Wilson Lab driveway. It makes it a non -typical intersection . It is a four- way intersection
but the fourth leg is a private road .
TOWN BOARD PAGE 29 JUNE 12 , 2000
APPROVED - APPROVED - APPROVED - JULY 10, 2000 - APPROVED - APPROVED - APPROVED
Part of the State's proposal is to realign Judd Falls Road further eastward up the hill . It would bring
that leg closer to the crest of the hill .
Councilman Conley — The realignment of Judd Falls Road will make it difficult for someone turning
left onto the road .
Mr. Kanter — The Public Works Committee found problems with each of those things . Shifting the
Judd Falls Road leg further up the road could create sight distance problems . Cars coming down the
hill are suppose to be going 30 mph , but they are not .
Councilman Conley — Some cars coming down the hill do not have an idea of . the intersection .
Mr . Kanter — A lot of issues regarding pedestrians and bicycles getting through the intersections were
raised at the Public Works Committee Meeting and the Public Information Meeting .
Councilman Conley — It is too bad that we could not use the private road . it would be a four-way
intersection .
Mr. Noteboom — They looked at that alternative , but it was too steep .
Mr. Kanter — They also looked at the possibility of shifting Pine Tree Road to the east . This would
align Pine Tree Road with the current Judd Falls Road . They said it might be possible . It would be
very expensive . There would be costly structural improvements over the other portion of the creek. It
was beyond the scope of their bridge replacement project. We have a four lane bridge proposal . It
seems to be too wide for pedestrians to cross safely. It is also adding a lot to the expense of the
bridge. We have a shift in Judd Fails Road . This is to increase the stacking capacity of the cars
between two intersections for turning movements . We do not have any illustrated accommodations
for pedestrians and bicycles at this point .
The State has requested comments from interested parties . They would like comments by June 18 ,
2000 . 1 have put together a summary memorandum , which has summarized what has happened up
to this point . Mr. Walker, Mr. Noteboom and I put together a draft letter addressing our concerns to
the State .
They have been talking about closing the leg of Judd Falls Road between Route 366 and Campus
Road . They have also been discussing a one-way configuration of Judd Falls Road . Any of those
alternatives might help the situations at the Judd Falls Road and Pine Tree Road intersections . The
closing of Judd Falls Road is something that many people have talked about over past years . There
has been some reluctance in the past to pursue it because of unknowns of where traffic would go as
a result .
We now have a traffic model that has been put together by the MPO . I asked Fernando de Argon if
he could do some test modeling . They have done the test modeling and gave me some of the
preliminary results . The change would shift traffic to the Caldwell Road intersection . Most of the cars

APPROVED - APPROVED - APPROVED - JULY 10, 2000 - APPROVED - APPROVED - APPROVED
using the Judd Fails Road intersection are mainly heading for Campus Road . The model shows tha
there would not be a great impact on Caldwell Road . The main impact would be on Campus Road
and Tower Road .
The Public Works Committee did not want to consider closing that leg of Judd Falls Road . It is a
Town road . We would want accommodations from Cornell in terms of being able to connect up
public roads to Tower Road . We did not want to dead end Judd Falls Road at Campus Road , Bill
Wendt at Cornell is familiar with these discussions. He was at the Public Information meeting . I
have not had follow up discussions with Mr. Wendt about whether Cornell might be interested in
changing ownership of some of the roads .
There was a few Forest Home residents at the meeting . I do not know if the Forest Home community
has discussed it .
Bruce Brittain , 135 Warren Road — We have discussed it in a small committee .
Councilman Lesser — Has the State specified their particular concerns with the intersection ? What
problems are they trying to overcome ?
Mr. Kanter — Part of the objection is to increase the capacity and flow at the two intersections . Theidk
wanted to increase the level of service during the p . m . peak hour. After looking at the configuratio
further, they decided that they wanted to improve the capacity of the bridge . They should also b
looking at safety. The Public Works Committee thought that they might be decreasing the safety
the bridge.
Councilman Lesser — Did they consider traffic lights? Would they consider a light on Campus Road ?
It would give more opportunity for cars to come out .
Mr. Kanter — There have been a lot of discussions on this . The Transportation Committee discussed
this a lot . The State has said that they will not put a traffic light in on Pine Tree Road as long as Judd
Falls Road is in its current alignment . They feel it would be less safe due to the configuration of the
intersections . They have said that they might consider a traffic light at Tower Road if Tower Road
becomes more heavily used . It implies that if we were to close Judd Falls Road , Tower Road will
pick up a lot of the traffic movements .
Some of the solutions seem to include Judd Falls Road itself . There are some things that we could
do. I think that the Public Works Committee was willing to pursue if it looked like there was some
realistic possibilities to work with Cornell University.
Supervisor Valentino — Will Mr. de Argon give us more detail with traffic modeling ?
Mr. Kanter — He has given us the preliminary figures. I will arrange a meeting with him to discuss it .

Forest Home . The model did not show that . It showed a lot of impacts on the surrounding
intersections . Tower Road and Coy Road were impacted .
Councilman Niederkorn — I do not understand the rational for moving Judd Falls Road up the hill . Is it
to lengthen the stacking space ?
Mr. Walker — Yes .
Mr. Kanter — It will take some of Cornell 's land near the pasture . I do not think that Cornell University
would want to see the meadow disturbed . The State has not talked with Cornell about it .
Supervisor Valentino — It would be a more dangerous intersection .
Councilman Niederkorn — Could the bridge be widened to four lanes within the current distance
between Judd Falls Road and Pine Tree Road ? It does operate as four lanes now. There is stacking
in both directions . It will be cleaned up .
Mr. Kanter — A benefit of closing Judd Falls Road or the one-way configuration would be eliminating
the need for four lanes.
Councilman Niederkorn — If they are going to make Judd Falls Road one way, should not the same
principle be applied in Forest Home? It should be looked at as a package .
Mr. Kanter — The NESTS study did look at that scenario .
Councilman Lesser — If there were a longer period of time , we could do substantial modeling. This
needs to go in immediately. I am reluctant to sending a letter suggesting fundamental changes until
we have a clear idea of what the impact would be . I do not want to send in a paragraph that even
suggests it as a possibility.
Mr. Kanter — We are in a bind . If we do not say something like that , more than likely we will have a
four lane bridge . It did sound like they are ready to start the project .
Mr. Walker — They only presented one option . They had looked at four options .
Councilwoman Grigorov — Do you think that they knew about the line of sight?
Mr. Walker — Yes . They felt that the horizontal line of sight is better . They did not say anything about
the vertical line of sight .
Councilwoman Russell — We need to propose the other possibilities to get them to study other
options .

Councilman Lesser — What will happen if we include these suggestions? What do they do with the
information ?
Mr. Kanter — I hope that it would start more dialog in trying to work on a solution . I hope that they do
not come back with another bridge proposal . We have made comments before and indicated that
they need to look at the entire area . In September, we indicated that we were interested in looking at
different possibilities with Judd Falls Road and that we were interested in seeing the possible impacts
on surrounding intersections . They did not respond to it . It might cause them to rethink the project .
Mr. Noteboom — The people of Regional Safety encouraged the State to talk with the Town about the
safety of the project . It appears that we are spending money just to rebuild the bridge . We need to
encourage them to address the issues .
Councilman Niederkorn — What if they abandon this project? What does it mean for the Town ?
Mr. Noteboom — I do not know the condition of the bridge . They have said it is deteriorating . I do not
have a reason to disbelieve them .
Mr, Kanter — 1 do not think that they would abandon the project . I think that it is scheduled in the
Transportation Improvement Program . There are many times that State projects are delayed . T
could be delayed .
Councilwoman Russell — The speed limit on Route 366 decreases from 45 mph to 30 mph . Ti
width of the travel lane is the same . It does not encourage people to slow down . It is obvious to
narrow the travel lane so it makes it more comfortable .
Mr. Noteboom — The State has a standard 12 foot driving lane.
Mr. Kanter — The Transportation Committee has requested the speed limit be reduced on Route 366 .
Councilman Klein — Did the letter comment on changing the 12 foot driving lanes ?
Mr . Noteboom — We think that there should be three lanes and not four lanes . We did not comment
on the width of the lanes .
Councilwoman Grigorov — Consultants have been able to convince the State to change the designs .
Councilman Niederkorn — We objected to the realignment of Judd Falls Road . We could consider a
one w Y
a system or terminating Judd Falls Road at another time . If they move Judd Falls Road , they
will never terminate it .
Mr . Kanter — It does commit us to an investment .
Councilwoman Grigorov — Safety is important .

Councilman Klein — Would the State signal the Wilson Lab driveway and Pine Tree Road
intersection ? There are many different turn configurations .
Supervisor Valentino — The six lane configuration will make it more difficult at the four way stop .
Mr. Walker — People are using the shoulder of the roads as extra lanes .
Supervisor Valentino — It should be taken out . A curb needs to be installed .
Mr. Brittain — I wanted to express caution to the board in regards to closing or making Judd Falls
Road one way. We have discussed it in Forest Home . There is a concern about where the traffic
would go . Judd Falls Road is heavily traveled . The reason we are thinking about closing it is
because it is heavily traveled . It is not a minor problem . If it is through traffic I can understand why
Cornell would want to close it. Cornell wants to eliminate traffic through Cornell . We would like to
close it to eliminate traffic through Forest Home .
I think that closing the portion of Judd Falls Road between Campus Road and Forest Home would
work best. It would eliminate traffic through Cornell and Forest Home . There needs to be a good
alternate route for the traffic. Traffic is going to divert to the upstream bridge. I am hesitant without
good traffic models to guess where the traffic will go . I think that the traffic will divert to Caldwell
Road . It is a major entrance to campus .
If Cornell wants to eliminate it, they need to provide an alternate route . It would be a major upgrade
of Tower Road . The lane width is there . It would be a minor operation to upgrade the intersection .
Doug Brittain , 135 Warren Road — The problem has not been address . They have addressed the
symptom . The reason they need more stacking space is because cars are arriving at the intersection
more quickly than they can be processed by the intersection . They have added more stacking space
to solve the problem . They need to move cars quicker through the intersection . If it is to remain a
four way stop, they need to make the intersection as compact as possible . As soon as a car starts to
move it is out of the intersection .
Mr. Kanter — I will suggest in the letter that there be narrower driving lanes on the bridge . I will add
language that the Town is not committing to any solution for Judd Falls Road , but we hope it will be
an opportunity for further dialog .
Councilwoman Russell — I would like the approaches to the bridge to be 10 feet as well .
Agenda Item No. 16 — Approval of Proposal from a Moving Company for the Relocation of
Furniture and Records to the New Town Hall ,
Mrs . Noteboom — We received two proposals . I spoke with four other moving companies . One
company felt that the job was too large . Two companies already had jobs for that week. The last
company never gave a response . I recommend that we accept the proposal from the Advanced
Moving Company. They have given us the lowest bid .

Councilwoman Russell — I am confused about the cost . There is a total on the first page and a total
on the second page .
Mrs . Noteboom — The first page is the total cost for them to come in and their hours . The second
total is for the boxes and packing .

order number 5 is not complete . There are items that we are negotiating with the contractor. They
have submitted their numbers. I have questions on some of the elements .
There is some extra work that I received information on this afternoon . It is another $ 15 , 000 to
$20 , 000 that we have to look at .
Supervisor Valentino — Mr. Walker and I will be meeting with the contractor tomorrow, June 13 , 2000 ,
Mr. Walker — The contractor is discussing a claim about contract time . We are nine weeks behind
schedule at no cause to them . The elevator is not in the building . We do not know when the doors
and windows are going to be delivered . Those are two elements that the contractor does control and
they have not completed it .
There were some delays initially. We did have a delay on the design for the rooftop unit . Everyone
had some responsibility. The contractors were passing the ball back and forth . He is saying that the
roof was held up because of that problem . As soon as the roof was opened it rained for two weeks .
We have a lot of issues to resolve .
I am comfortable that we will stay within the budget that Mr. Carvill has spent a lot of time working on .
I appreciate his hard work and effort. I did not have the numbers I needed to come before the board
with a change order recommendation .
Supervisor Valentino — Change order numbers 1 , 21 3 and 4 have been approved . We need to
negotiate for change order number 51
Councilwoman Russell — Change order number 3 was for the arched window over the Clerk's office .
We thought it was included in the plans . They had disputed it being included .
Mr. Walker — The contractor said it was not shown on the drawings . The architect agreed it was not
shown on the drawings . It was not in enough detail .
Supervisor Valentino - The architects would not accept any responsibility for the mistake that they
made .
Mr. Walker — The original cast for that was $8 , 000 .
Supervisor Valentino — Our general contractor is very accommodating . Our architects were not very
accommodating .
Mr . Walker — We are having a dispute with the Post Office and their architects over the Post Office
ramp . We wanted to make the outside of the building uniform . We agreed that the Town would put
the face brick on the back of the building up to the corner of their rear emergency exit ramp . It is
parallel to the parking garage . It is not visible from the street . We were going to put the face brick up
to the corner, turn it around the corner and stop . The Post Office said that they would finish the wall .
We feel that they should be responsible for it . Our contractor has given us a proposal for about
TOWN BOARD PAGE 36 JUNE 12 , 200
APPROVED - APPROVED - APPROVED - JULY 10, 2000 - APPROVED - APPROVED - APPROVED
$5 , 000 to supply the brick and put it up . It was decided that the Post Office needs to finish it. They
might not get a Certificate of Occupancy because their insulation is not covered .
Attorney Barney = I am not sure what our responsibilities are under the lease .
Ivlr. Walker — The Post Office is to provide their own improvements . Originally the Post Office was to
build the exterior wall in total . We decided that it would be better to have a uniform surface that was
not broken up . That is the reason we agreed to put the face brick up .
Councilwoman Russell — We thought that the wall was not going to have a finish on it .
Mr. Walker — The Post Office said they were responsible for finishing it . Our drawings showed that
they were going to finish it . When we had the design meeting , they had discussed a painted block
wall . We are not including the $6 , 000 .
Councilwoman Grigorov — It could have been done for a lot less than $6 , 000 .
Mrs . Noteboom — What is accessing ladder to mezzanine?
Mr. Walker — It is the access to the mechanical mezzanine where we have the controls . There wa
no ladder shown in the drawings . The architect left it off. There is a hatch in the ceiling , but ther
was no ladder on the hatch . We are going to be mounting a ladder with a door that will be locked . .

Supervisor Valentino — This is the next Client Committee that is being put together as a follow up on
the NESTS study. The committee will work on transit issues . There are nine entities that have
expressed interest in being part of the Client Committee . I talked with Fernando de Argon . He said
that the TIP money is about $200, 000. The nine entities would have to share their percentage . Our
local share would be between $3 , 000 and $5 , 000 . If all nine entities come into this , each share

Agenda Item No. 20 - Hiring Consultant to Monitor Cornell University Lake Source Cooling
Project. .
Mr. Kanter - We have received interest and Statement of Qualification from two perspective
consultants . One consultant is from Spencer, New York. The other consultant is from Buffalo , New
York . I asked Councilwoman Russell to look over the materials that we received . After we both
looked at them , it was clear that we would like to get additional information from the two consultants .
The Buffalo consultant had general and vague information . I requested additional information
regarding more specific experience , references and samples of projects . I wanted more information
on the size of their firm and who would be working on the project . I was able to contact the Buffalo
firm . They will be sending us the additional information . l have called the organization from Spencer,
but have not been able to contact them .
Councilwoman Russell and I thought it might be appropriate to call other consultant firms that we did
not hear from . The two firms that I was interested in were more local . The one had a direct conflict
of interest on the Cornell project. The one person who could work on it was the water quality
consultant for Cornell . Ichthyological Associates indicated that their chief person had a conflict of
interest . It was a case with a number of the consultant firms . The firm in Phoenix, New York did not
have the expertise on their staff . I appreciate their honesty. Some consultant firms would have
submitted their information anyway .
We might want to bring both consultants in for interviews after we receive their additional information .
Hopefully we will be able to have a recommendation in July.
Councilwoman Russell - Have you heard from everybody that was sent a request ?
Mr. Kanter - There are a few that I did not call back. l can follow up on them as well . Many times
when firms do not reply it is either too small of a project or conflicts of interest . Usually if the firm is
interested in the project they respond to the request .
Councilwoman Russell - Did you hear from Jose Lozano?
Mr . Kanter - I did not hear from him .

Supervisor Valentino — I thought that it might be a problem because of the City' s connection with
;Lake Source Cooling .
Mr. Kanter — We need to see if he would be interested in it .
Supervisor Valentino - I thought that we might be under a lot of criticism if we hired someone that is
on City staff .
Mr. Walker — We pay part of his salary already. He is on the SJS payroll . The City is using him for
environmental review on water shed work.
Mr. Kanter — If he were going to be asked to do it , it would be as an individual . It could have an
appearance of being a conflict .
Councilman Klein — Every consultant listed is from New York. Is there a reason why we did not
consider out of state firms?
Mr. Kanter — The main concern was cost . We will have a limited budget . Many of the names that I
received were from local sources .
Councilman Klein — How much travel is necessary?
Mr. Kanter — I think that the data will be provided by Cornell . There will be a lot of direct contact wit
Cornell . We need to interview the two interested firms . We need to see if we like either one of them .
If we do not , then we will need to do something else .
Councilman Niederkorn — I would like Cornell to give us some background information . I would not
like to talk with someone as a potential consultant if I do not know what I am talking about . Cornell
would be willing to meet with our consult to give them the basics of our study. I would like to do so
before we talk with the consultant .
Mr. Kanter — Cornell indicated the right to reserve the possibility of being involved in the discussions
with the consultants .
Councilwoman Russell — There were summaries put together as a result of questions that were
asked .
Councilman Niederkorn — I want to know what they are going to be looking for in the future . i want to
know what is going to be toxic , dangerous and what is not .

Agenda Item No. 22 - Report of Town Officials.
a. Town Clerk/Receiver of Taxes — See Attachment #2.
Councilman Lesser — Mrs . Noteboom offered to explain the responsibilities of her office . I appreciate
the offer. I wondered if other board members were interested?
Councilman Niederkorn — I would be interested .
Mrs . Noteboom — 1 was not able to prepare the final report for the Receiver of Taxes . I did put in the
settlement with Tompkins County. I thought it was interesting that my office collected 97% of the bills
that were sent out this year . This is the highest amount that we have ever processed from January
1St to May 31st. I would like to think it has a lot to do with how we changed things and streamlined it .
Our constituents like to come in and see us because of our customer service .
Supervisor Valentino — The County is always talking about taking over the entire collection . I do not
think that they could collect as much or do it as efficiently as our Town Clerk' s office does .
b. Highway Superintendent = See Attachment #3.
Supervisor Valentino — Mr . Noteboom and l have planned to look at some roads where there have
been problems on June 14th . Mr. Noteboom has a conflict that day. Are other Town Board members
interested in going?
The board indicated that they would be interested. After a brief discussion, the board set up the field
trip for Tuesday, June 21h at 2:30 p. m.
Mr. Noteboom — If board members have something in particular that they would like to see , please
notify me ahead of time .
Supervisor Valentino — I would like to go to West King Road , Sandbank Road and Stone Quarry
Road .
Councilman Lesser — Mr. Noteboom , did you have a chance to check on what traffic surreys that
have been done by the County?
Mr. Noteboom — I spoke with Jerry Stern . He faxed me some information .
Councilman Lesser — Fernando de Argon gave me a manual regarding how the surveys are done .
will provide the information to the board at the next meeting .

+c . Director of Engineering — See Attachment #4.
IMr. Walker — Town Hall is coming together . The carpet will be installed within the next three weeks .
Supervisor Valentino — Paul Tunison from Bolton Point and I had a meeting with Cornell regarding
the Integrated Water System , Henry Downey and Shirley Egan were present . We felt that we are
making progress . We are going to meet again in three weeks . They have three major concerns . Mr.
Tunison and I are working with them to address their concerns .
Mr. Walker and I had a meeting with the City of Ithaca to go over some of the outstanding issues of
payments with regard to the sewer project . We did receive some detailed information on some of the
costs . The SJS partners are close to an agreement . The City has $3 million worth of projects . They
want us to pay a share of the projects . It is already bonded for $ 1 . 5 million of this . I asked Mr.
Fabbroni who authorized him to spend those amounts on our behalf. The answer was no one . The
Engineering Department of the City of Ithaca decided it was in our best interest to do these projects .
They did not seem to get authorization from the City or Dryden . We did not give them authorization .
Mr. Walker — The City took the risk of spending those funds to get the work done . If we wish to
contribute , we will have to evaluate it . It is up to the Town Board to decide .
Councilwoman Russell — Is it clear that it is a joint project and if it is a joint benefit?
Mr. Walker — There is no question that we use the sewers that they upgraded . It is a benefit to us .
They were being overloaded . This is a definite improvement. There is probably a portion that the
Town should contribute . I am not going to recommend spending money on the project until we have
details on the cost.
Supervisor Valentino — They have not told us our portion . They are asking us what part we feel we
should pay.
Mr. Walker — The Superintendent of Public Works has authority to expend funds for Public Works
without having to go to Common Council ,
Mr. Carvill — Does SJS have its own board ?
Supervisor Valentino — Yes . I am the chair . SJS does not have the authority to authorize any
spending. Mr. Fabbroni said that we could look it up in the SJS minutes . I could not find a resolution
asking our municipalities to fund it .
Mr. Walker — The minutes indicated that we discussed it . There were also indications that the towns
asked for details of what was being spent .
Supervisor Valentino — We were not sure what the project was .

d. Director of Planning — See Attachment #5.
hllr. Kanter — The City issued their final Environmental Impact Statement on the Southwest Area
plans . They have asked for comments . The comments are due June 15th . Ms . Ritter and I looked at
the sections that we had already commented on in the draft Environmental Impact Statement . We
tried to figure out if those comments had been adequately responded to . In doing so there were
certain sections that were not addressed or were not adequately addressed .
The City has accepted the final Environmental Impact Statement as adequate . Their next step is to
S
ssue their findings statement on their Environmental Impact Statement . We think it might be helpful
to provide follow up comments to make sure they are on the record . The City is going to do site
specific evaluation . If the Wide Water project becomes an actual project , then it would have to go
through site plan approval . Each different segment would have to come in for site plan approval .
The City has left a lot of our comments as follow ups during site specific evaluations .
They did add some analysis of the Stone Quarry Road area that we thought was important to look at .
They did not further evaluate Seven Mile Drive or Sandbank Road intersections on Route 13 . We
are concerned about traffic calming . Traffic calming is an impact on surrounding neighborhoods . We
wanted to remind the City that we would like to see additional information on their overall traffic
calming plans . We would like to give them more input .
We asked the City to do more comprehensive analysis of storm water management and water quali
aspects . They did not do additional studies in the final Environmental Impact Statement . We a
recommending that a more comprehensive approach be done . If it is done by site specific
evaluation , we might miss a larger opportunity for a coordinated storm water management approach .
It is not something that we are going to get an additional response to , but it will be in the record .
They did do further investigation of the visual impacts on the Buttermilk Falls State Park area . They
confirmed what they had indicated in the draft Environmental Impact Statement . The Southwest area
is minimally visible from the State Park. We also asked them to look at possible viewing points from
surrounding areas the Town . We asked them to investigate Coy Glen and other areas on West Hill .
They did not do so . We feel it should be a follow up during site-specific review. We would like to
further endorse the design guidelines that the City seems to be relying on heavily. We hope that they
vigorously pursue the guidelines .
We are going to send a letter with our comments to the City.
Supervisor Valentino — Susan Blumenthal was the chair of the Planning Committee . She asked that
we give her a copy of our comments . I think that they will take them into consideration .
Councilman Niederkorn — Has the letter been set?
Supervisor Valentino — No . This is a memorandum that Mr . Kanter prepared for the board meetin
It will be put into letterform .
TOWN BOARD PAGE 49 JUNE 12 , 2000
APPROVED - APPROVED - APPROVED - JULY 10, 2000 - APPROVED - APPROVED - APPROVED
Councilman Niederkorn — I have some concerns . I think that there are legitimate concerns regarding
Stone Quarry Road and Sandbank Road . They need additional information . I am also concerned
about potential pollution in the inlet .
I am less concerned about traffic calming . I think that traffic calming is a City problem . They have
been successful with the attempts that they have made at traffic calming . Traffic calming is trying to
determine how you are going to keep an increasing number of cars from doing an increasing amount
of damage . If anything is built , it will have a visual impact on somebody. Trying to identify the visual
impact and being critical of it not being "Southwest Yes" , it is "Southwest No". I would like to limit our
response.
Supervisor Valentino — There are building designs and the way that buildings are sited that can help
the visual impact . I could emphasize that aspect and the design guidelines .
Councilman Niederkorn — There cannot be much buffering from West Hill . We would need to plant
trees on the roof.
Mr. Kanter — The City does not know where the buildings are going to be located or what they will
look like . The City is going to look at site-specific development .
I tried to show our comments on the draft Environmental Impact Statement and then comment on the
suggested , recommended approach .
Councilwoman Russell — Councilman Niederkorn , what is your concern with traffic calming?
Councilman Niederkorn — The traffic that is going to be impacted by the Southwest development are
going to be a few roads leading to the Town of Ithaca and City streets. I think that the idea of traffic
calming is a myth . We should not be overly concerned about it . We are only impacted on a few
roads .
Councilwoman Russell — It can have an impact on the amount of traffic that is being carried onto
certain roads , Stone Quarry for example .
Councilman Niederkorn — Stone Quarry Road is a traffic calming technique . Forest Home is a traffic
calming technique .
Mrs . Noteboom — It is difficult to turn left onto Route 13 from Seven Mile Drive . Cars wait ten or
fifteen minutes to turn left . There are a lot of Town residents that live within the mobile home park
that are elderly people . It would be appropriate to install a traffic signal W that intersection .
Comments could be made that every quarter mile traffic signals should be installed until a certain
point outside the Town of Ithaca . It would allow the off streets to merge onto Route 13 ,
Supervisor Valentino — We are saying that we look forward to their traffic calming analysis . We are
asking that the Town have an opportunity to give feedback .

e. Director of Building/Zoning — See Attachment #6.
Itllr. Frost — There is an increase in building permits and the value of construction over the first five
months of the year. There are more single family homes this year. We have four multiple residences
under construction . The construction has increased over past years .
The second page lists complaints . The Calkins Road address has had garbage complaints since
April of 1999 . This property has serious property maintenance problems . The owner was issued a
$ 100 . 00 fine . I need to start the process over. I need to cite him again . Unfortunately, my office can
only go to a certain point and then we need to turn it over to the court .
Attorney Barney — When was the first complaint?
Mr. Frost — The first complaint was April of 1999 . 1 have been dealing with him off and on for years .
Attorney Barney — We need to take further action .
Councilman Klein — Is it trash as opposed to garbage ?
Mr. Frost — It is old bicycles , pieces of wood , to jars filled with water.
Councilman Klein — There was a house on Trumansburg Road where the person collected garbage .
Mr. Frost -- There is a difference . Some of the items are useable . He fixes them up .
We had a fire in the Maple Hill Apartments in early May. Many people do not understand that when
there is a fire in the Town I will get called . When we go out we determine whether occupancy is
feasible . Tenants and adjoining apartments suffered water damage . We had to make sure the
building was safe and secure . We do have over a dozen fires per year.
Supervisor Valentino — Our assessment roll that we have received shows that we have increased our
assessed value by $20 , 500 , 000 over last year. It is good news . I thought that our assessment would
have decreased .
Mr. Frost — We have had a lot of new construction .
f. Budget Officer — See Attachment #7 .
Mr. Carvill — New construction has benefitted the Town . It has also driven the interest rates up .
The Highway Reserve capital project fund is nearly depleted . The old system that the Town ha
used to replenish that is not effective . Any funds that were not expended in the prior year wou

become a reserve . It is not a healthy funding technique . We want the reserve to continue to be able
to afford to buy equipment . We need to come up with a new idea by how we can fund our equipment
reserve .
Supervisor Valentino - What other way would we have?
Mr. Carvill - The board could appropriate money every year. We budget money every year to buy
new equipment . We do not budget to reserve monies to buy future equipment .
Supervisor Valentino - Will it be taken care of in our Five Year Capital Projects Plan that we are
working on ?
Mr. Carvill - Part of the capital planning process would be to establish operating reserves .
g. Human Resources Specialist - See Attachment #8.
Mrs . Drake - We had a long Workman ' s Comp case with a previous employee . The claim resulted
from his slipping and fall and hurting his back . We have some back injuries that could cost a lot of
money. We have one employee out with a back injury. We asked for a function capability exam .
The employee canceled the exam . I am in contact with our Workman 's Comp carrier to see what our

TOWN CLERK'S MONTHLY REPORT
May 2000
Presented : Town Board Meeting, June 12, 2000
Town Clerk: The Town Hall Furniture Committee finalized the selection and purchase
of the furniture for the New Town Hall . The new furniture will be delivered and set up at
the New Town Hall the weeks of July 5th and July 12th . The list of furniture to be
refinished was finalized . Arrangements are being made for its pick-up and delivery.
Three moving company representatives toured the Town Hall to determine the extent of
the furnishings and records to be moved . Two companies have submitted cost
proposals . The third company declined submission of a proposal as they did not feel

regards to crossing a wider bridge. The possibility of a pedestrian underpass was
discussed. NYSDOT officials indicated that there did not appear to be sufficient
clearance under the bridge to provide such an underpass. It was suggested that
sidewalks would be a viable option for pedestrians with a pedestrian crossing and
warning sign at the Pine Tree Road intersection. The possibility of closing the north leg
of Judd Falls Road was raised by the public. Another option discussed was the
possibility of changing Judd Falls Road to one-way (probably southbound to reduce the
turning conflicts at the Route 366 intersection). This raises the question of how such a
change would impact other nearby roads and intersections such as Tower Road and
Caldwell Road. Intersection lighting at Pine Tree Road / Rt. 366 was also raised as a
possible concern. NYSDOT is soliciting public comments regarding this project through
June 18, 2000. (Refer to Agenda Item No. 13 for additional details. )

Town Board Meeting 6/ 12/2000
Agenda Item Number 22 (g )
Human Resources Specialist Report for May 2000
Personnel Committee :
Attached is a copy of the final minutes from the April 19 , 2000 , meeting . In May
the committee finished the review of the entire manual . In June they will be
reviewing any corrections and the entire manual as a whole . The manual will be
reviewed by SCLIWC ' s Personnel Committee for approval and recommendation
to the Commission . The manual will then come to the Town Board for approval
at the end of the summer.
I gave the committee members information about an insurance policy strictly for
covering Cancer expenses . The members will be getting back to me about their
feelings of making this coverage available to the employees on a 100 %
employee contribution basis . The committee did show interest in increasing the
Town ' s coverage amounts for Short-tem Disability. Our present coverage pays a
maximum of $ 170 per week, which is N . Y . state' s minimum . I am also sending
correspondence to other municipalities to compare their policy on retiree ' s health
insurance premium contribution .
Safety Committee :
The committee approved of the corrections to the Personal Protective Equipment
section . The committee began the review of the Lockout-Tagout policy and
Rabies policy. There were many questions regarding our Rabies policy , so Fred
Noteboom will be checking with PESH and other agencies for advice .
Wellness Program :
The 10 participants completed the five weeks Lighten Up program held at noon
every Tuesday in May . There were all good reviews from the class participants
on the content , and structure of the class . The instructor will return in 6 months
to do a second body fat analysis to see if anyone improved their percentage . I
have spoken with the instructor to time this at the same time as our annual
wellness fair in the fall .
I have made arrangement already for Univera to provide the Flu shots this Fall .
The shots will be free to all Univera members and family and will be $8 for non -
members .
Training and Development:
All department heads from the Town and SCLIWC participated in a training on
Coaching , Discipline and Performance Reviews conducted by John Barney and
myself. The group was refreshed on Civil Service Law Section 75 and other
pertinent civil service rules . The group then discussed the new Coaching Policy
and Form that is addressed in the Personnel Manual , and how this policy relates
to the Disciplinary Policy already in affect . John Barney also explained how
critical honest performance evaluations are to the Town and to the employees .
ATTACHMENT # 8
Personnel — Civil Service :
SCLIWC is now back to a full staff again since last summer. Advertising has
been done for a part-time Court Clerk . Judge Bordoni and I will be setting up
interviews for mid June . Judge Bordoni and I hope to have someone in place by
early July.
Commercial Insurance :
I have added to the insurance coverage the new Ford S10 pickup and the new
Ford flat bed truck that the Town recently took delivery of. Also added to the
insurance was the now finished Pressure Relieve Valve Building on Wyckoff
Road . Any adjustments for these changes will occur in the first quarter of 2001 .
Workers' Compensation :
The Town has received notice that the long ongoing claim of Kenneth Maye ,
Date of Accident: 12/ 13/ 1993 has been resolved and closed . Just to give you an
idea of how much these claims can cost. The State Insurance Fund paid on the
Town ' s behalf $48 , 333 in medical bills and a total of $ 127 ,437 in compensation
to Mr. Maye . Mr. . Maye ' s alleged injury was caused by him slipping and falling ,
which caused a herniated disc .
George Krebs ' date of accident 3/21 /96 claim is still active and pending
WC Board decision regarding apportionment to previous claims for his hip .
Ray Manning is presently still out on Workers' Compensation . The Town
requested a Functional Capabilities exam on him to determine whether the Town
had a light duty position for him . This was scheduled at Gutherie ' s Medical
Center' s Physical Therapy for May 24th as recommended by his physician . I was
informed today (6/7/00 ) that his appointment was cancelled by him and has not
be rescheduled . I will be looking into this matter further.
Disability Insurance :
There are currently no employees collecting disability at this time .
I will be checking with our carrier in regards to ,the costs to improve
