Agenda Item No. 3 - Report of Tompkins County Board of Representatives .
Michael Koplinka- Loehr, TC Board of Reps - The board met this past Tuesday . The board looked at
legislation authorizing an increase in the motel/hotel room tax . The increase would be from 3% to
5% . The legislation was sent to the State for enabling . We will have public dialogue after the
. legislation is returned from the State .
The board discussed a security guard for the library. The increased use has been great but some
behaviors have been more challenging for staff . We decided to hire a security guard this year as an
interim measure . The board is going to look at long term solutions after this year. The security guard
will not be covering all hours that the library is open . We are trying to target the hours that are more
challenging for staff .
The board reviewed and eventually approved a multi-story development option . It is a generic way of
calling it an anti -sprawl measure . It is a tax incentive for a core of downtown to be allowed to have
higher density buildings . It was approved . The City and City School District approved the tax
incentive at 100% of tax abatement . We approved it at 50% tax abatement because the rural
representatives questioned the rural residents benefit .

Another resolution before the board was an extension of the Electricity and Gas Master Agreeme
between Tompkins and Tioga Counties . We have other counties and municipalities interested i
joining the partnership alliance . We put the project out to bid and have received some response . Th
contract has been extended for another two years .
The board looked at alternatives to incarceration options . There is a variety of ways that the County
had looked at decreasing prison cell use . The County will be looking at increasing our public safety in
the community . A variety of measures have been proposed and about half of them have been
funded . A pool of funds was set aside to examine other options and how they might overlap .
The board approved a request to the State to authorize an extension of our one-percent sales tax . It
is an annual request . We tried to request a four-year approval , but the State requires an annual
request .
A local law was adopted after a public hearing for exemptions for constituents with disabilities .
Another resolution was passed to set the rates for the exemption . The board previously needed to
hold a public hearing every time the rate was increased . It was finally determined that if the County
has one policy setting a standard rate for exemption , we can avoid a public hearing every year when
the amount is increased .
The board held anot er public hearing for setting income limits for living quarters for parents and
grandparents . This is known as the " Granny Flats " . There can be an exemption for the assessment
improvements of your property if you improve your property to have a parent or grandparent 65 year
of age or older to stay with you .
We have been involved with negotiations with three of our unions , two of which have been resolve
We are now in negotiations with our corrections union . We' re about to begin negotiations with Public
Safety Officers .
Deputy Supervisor RuSSell - The rural representatives question the 50% tax abatement for downtown .
Could you explain their position ?
Mr. Koplinka- Loehr - Some rural representatives felt that if the County is going to be giving tax
abatement to the downtown area for height how are rural constituents benefiting from this . There are
two arguments . The first is anti-sprawl measures do help everyone . The second is that this is an
incentive for future building . It will not cause anyone in any area of the community to have an
increase in their taxes . This is only if you have an incentive for someone to build high . Developers
might not build the project if they did not have the incentive . Therefore , we have abatement on new
assessment and newl heights . The argument of increasing the taxes of the rural constituent depends
on if the project would have been built without the abatement . We are not harming anyone in the
rural areas . The debate convinced the board to decrease the exemption to 50% .
Councilwoman Grigorov - The County held a meeting to discuss cell towers . I did not hear anything
mentioned regarding the State program of model cities and communities .

r. Koplinka- Loehr - We are in extensive conversations with the State . It looks like the State 800
unking system for communication regarding statewide public safety issues is two to four years in the
ture . We are hoping we could align our project with the State project . We might not be able to wait
cur years . The County does want to coordinate with the State system . We are hoping that the State
could assist with financing and placement of towers . Conversations are still preliminary . The State
has not committed funds . They are in the exploration and design phase . The person directing the
project in County Administration is on a leave of absence for health reasons . He was going to Albany
on a regular basis to attend the meetings . We have not assigned someone to attend the meetings .
The new County Administrator is taking on that role .
Councilwoman Russell - Are there time constraints regarding the frequency being dedicated to us?
Mr. Koplinka- Loehr - The number of frequencies is limited . I do not know the timeline in terms of
when we have to go for renewal .
Agenda Item No. 4 - Report of Fire Commissioners .
Bob Romanowski , IFD - The traffic diverters on Wood Street do not impede fire apparatus . They are
rubber posts that can be driven over.
A contingent of Ithaca area personnel is attending an exercise development course at the National
Emergency Training Center. This course will assist in the development of the high rise drill planned
for this summer. New high rise operating procedures have been drafted and are being circulated for
review . Mr. Frost might be interested in reviewing the procedures .
Final cosmetic items and leather fittings are being completed for the steamer project . We are two
years behind schedule . Money and getting everything right has been a priority . We have received
large donations from private entities . A fraternity put on a fund raising effort and donated the money
for the steamer.
The volunteer companies have moved from the Central Fire Station . The three rooms have been
wired for office functions and are being utilized .
There is a volunteer recruitment unit . They are utilizing a web based intake form for referrals . The
goal is for no more than 24- hour turn around from an initial contact with someone who would like to
be a volunteer fireman by the recruitment unit . The student bunkers are focusing on recruitment .
They are recruiting among their peers and attending open houses in their efforts to promote bunking .
The assistant chief is responsible for monitoring service and training records for volunteer fire
fighters . We also have volunteer fire fighters working with career fire fighters to insure that accurate
membership is maintained and the equipment is accounted for and in use . I am pleased that the
volunteer fire fighters have taken the initiative .
Councilman Lesser - How large is the simulation and training equipment that might be stored at Town
Hall ?

Mr. Romanowski - The training that is proposed for Town Hall is classroom training . There might b
first aid training or EMT training . It would not be anything major. They might have a class on th
essentials of firemanship . I do not know the specifics of the training sessions .
Aqenda Item No. 6 - Update on Freight Transportation Study.
Fernando de Argon , Director of Ithaca Tompkins County Transportation Council - I am before the
board to report on the Freight Movement Study . This is the first report from the study . The study is
going to generate threle reports and then a final report .
A recommendation of the Northeast Subarea Transportation Study was to perform a countywide
freight transportation study . We had a lot of reports during the NESTS study about impacts of truck
movement through residential areas . We felt it was important to obtain factual information . This is
not an easy task . Many shippers and drivers do not like to give up this information . It is a difficult
area to obtain data . Our consultants , Sear Brown , have performed traffic counts for trucks .
The first report reflects the data gathering effort . They set up traffic counters around the urban area
of the City of Ithaca . We then set up another set of counters along the major routes of entering and
exiting the County . We were able to obtain a picture of how many trucks were coming in and out of
the County . This gave us an idea of how many were moving through the urban area .
The third piece of the puzzle is to do a license tag survey. People will be located at the same points
around the County . The license plate coming in will be checked and then the license plate will b
checked when exiting the County . The consultants were able to obtain good data from this survey .
We have been distributing the residence survey at the same time . The surveys are showing pattern
of problem areas . The most important data are what people told us are problems .
The consultants also performed a survey of the shippers and receivers . They tried to gather
information regarding what is being shipped , when it is being shipped and how much is being
shipped .
Most truckers are using the State highway system . We need to identify those that are working
outside of the highway system that are creating impacts in residential areas . Another focus of the
study is to have recommendations that assist the trucking industry by making it easier for them to get
through the County . We hope to have a set of truck route suggestions , mitigation for potential
impacts , and an analysis of the cost of the proposal . We hope to have this complete by June . One
public meeting has been held . We expect to hold two more public meetings . The first meeting
consisted of twenty persons . It was a good discussion .
Councilman Lesser - What are other remedial activities that are being considered besides
recommended truck routes?
Mr. de Argon - The second task of the analysis is an analysis of intermodal links . They might be able
to make proposals to reduce the number of trucks by affecting when they travel . Unfortunately we d
not have a lot of alternatives . Our railroad is very limited . We are unable to redirect shipping to th

tailroad . I have had contact with people that have a program to stimulate industrial activity along the
ilroad in order to increase shipments . Recommendations for particular land uses along the railroad
ight come out of the :study. The study is mainly recommendations for changing travel times and
avel routes . There might also be a recommendation for a central point of delivery. Then from this
location the shipments are moved from large trucks to smaller trucks to make local deliveries . I am
not sure how feasible it would be , but we are going to explore the option . We are looking to propose
mitigation strategies to reduce the impact on residential areas . It might have to do with noise
reduction and regulate the type of braking the trucks use .
Councilwoman Grigorov - Would there be recommendations on speed limits?
Mr. de Argon - The problems are speed , volume and noise .
Councilwoman Grigorov - Are the counters able to distinguish the weight of trucks?
Mr. de Argon - The counters are unable to distinguish the weight of the trucks , but they can
distinguish the type of trucks . The counters can distinguish up to sixteen different types of vehicles .
Councilwoman Grigorov - It is a very valuable study .
Mr. de Argon - There might be recommendations on a weight station or a portable weight station . We
need to see the data before we can substantiate the ideas .
ouncilwoman Grigorov - Are weight stations one reason trucks avoid State routes?
r. de Argon - We have received feedback from truck drivers . Time is their biggest concern . They
take the fastest route . The drivers do not drive around evading weight stations . It does not pay off . It
is not worth their effort to get out of a highway or interstate so that they do not get weighed . Issues of
over weight trucks are usually in the local runs . They can evade that type of regulation easily.
Councilwoman Russell - Are copies of the first report available ?
Mr. de Argon - I do not have extra copies . The report is more for review by the Transportation
Council Committee . We! are able to make copies if the board is interested . We will have more copies
of the final report and it will be more widely distributed .
Agenda Item No . 10 - Resolution Ratifying the Submission of the 2000 Town of Ithaca Annual
Financial Report to the State Comptroller.
Mr. Carvill - The report was filed with the State of New York on February 28 , 2001 . Our State auditor
did review aspects of the 2000 Annual Financial Report . No reporting problems were disclosed . It
was much to the contrary and to our satisfaction , the State is extremely pleased with the fiscal
management of the Town . The State is pleased with our actions and interactions with the community
and the board . This information was extracted through the minutes and overall accounting and
budgeting functions of the Town . The conclusion reported is that the Town sits in an A+ position as
far as the Comptroller is concerned . The Comptroller's office does offer consulting services for
TOWN BOARD PAGE 6 MARCH 12 , 2001
APPROVED - APPROVED - APPROVED - APRIL 9, 2001 - APPROVED - APPROVED - APPROVED
municipalities . They offer additional direction . We need to embellish upon our procurement an
purchasing practices . We also need to embellish the expansion of the Town 's investment and cas
management practices . The State does agree with this . Their services are available to help th
Town expand our guidelines for our procurement and purchasing practices .
i
Councilwoman Russell - Carol Matteson from the Comptroller's Office was here for two weeks . She
spent an enormous amount of time reviewing our minutes .
Councilman Klein - Is Ms . Matteson providing us with a written report?
Mr. Carvill - This is part of a survey exam . We have been selected as part of a group of ten or twenty .
There will be a report for the Town of Ithaca and for the group of large . I was told that the report we
have been given is excellent .
Councilman Klein - Did Ms . Matteson have any comment on our fund balances?
Mr. Carvill - There is some concern regarding the fund balance levels that the Town has maintained .
The State Comptroller's Office has made it very clear that they do not have any jurisdiction or
authority to dictate fiscal management of the Town . Ms . Matteson read the minutes extensively to get
a feel for the interaction of the taxpayers and the board . The critical question is how the Town raises
tax rates . The public is receiving services for their dollars . The Town has been frugal in its expenses
and been cautious with expenditures . The result of the accumulating fund balances is not large
because they are an accumulation of interest earnings . Our fund balance is adequate . It is n
excessive . It was con cluded that we could take care of ourselves . It is an acceptable level .
There are local municipalities that are in distress . The Town of Ithaca can stand very proud .
Councilman Lesser - Some time ago several of us attended a meeting in Cortland about a proposed
procedure regarding capital stock being included in the budgeting process . How long would it be
before those major changes are required ?
Mr. Carvill - The bulletin that was referred to at that meeting is live and active . It was released and in
effect January 2001 . It does mandate a reportability of infrastructures . It also makes provisions for
depreciation . It is an ,area that I have not fully addressed . It is going to take a lot of board interaction .
The board needs to decide how much money we reserve every year and what basis of useful lives do
we allocate to this . Monies are to be set aside and reserved within fixed asset accounts . There is a
large accountability that has changed the complexion on how we deal with fixed assets . Everything
has to be accounted for and useful life has to be assessed . Depreciation has to be accounted for and
the depreciation has to be set aside for future replaceable repair or acquisition . It has an obvious
impact . The obvious impact is reduced bonding . There are a lot of bonds out . Part of the
Conservation Bond Act was to take the little filter water and sewer systems throughout the State and
interlinking them . It ins live . We are required to comply with it by December 31 , 2003 . This is capital
reserve monies , but inn the fixed asset group of accounts . When the money needs to be expended for
replacement or improvements it comes from this fund .
Mr. Walker - We are going to be depreciating the capital structures . How will it create funds?

Mr. Carvill - The Town Hall is a $2 million building . According to IRS codes it has a useful life of 20 to
27 years . We would divide it out . The board would need to decide if we take 1 /27 of every year and
depreciate it or would we take a fixed sum . The money would be put into a depreciation reserve .
Attorney Barney - Balance sheets do not usually show infrastructure . The assets need to be included
in the balance sheet . The depreciation needs to be shown on the balance sheet as the infrastructure
ages . I am not sure if the Town would need to put money aside for the depreciation .
Mr. Carvill - There is some conflicts amongst accounts regarding this .

Councilman Klein - We are equal partners with the City and County .
Councilwoman Russell - The other municipalities are smaller contributors . We could do a cost
sharing agreement .
Councilman Lesser - There was an article in the paper that stated Newfield decided not to join the
partnership , but might do it at a later date . How would it work within the system ?
Councilwoman Russell - Newfield was invited to join the partnership . There is a great deal of interest
from the residents of Newfield . The PTA members were willing to fund Newfield joining the
Recreation Partnership on a trial basis . I am not sure what actually happened with Newfield .
Councilman Klein - Could they buy into the agreement?
Councilwoman Russell - Yes . Newfield runs their own programs . There is a great deal of local pride
in their programs . This would not interfere with local programs . It would give families interested more
opportunities to participate in other types of recreation programs . We keep trying to reach out to
them and the Town of Lansing .
Councilman Lesser - Supervisor Valentino has mentioned that the City owns many of the facilities .
Are the issues resolve d in terms of ownership and management?
Councilwoman Russell - The issues are not resolved . We have a subcommittee that was formed
from the Recreation Partnership . The subcommittee put out a request for proposals for a consultant
to help us work on they issues . We have a number of proposals to review .
Councilman Lesser - How does the rest of the proposal move forward until the major issues is worked
out?
i
Councilwoman Russeill - We are proceeding as the proposal states . The City agreed to wait on the
issue . It did bog dow our negotiations for a long time . It is a difficult issue to deal with . We decided
that we needed to separate it out and pursue it separately from the Recreation Partnership .
Councilman Klein - The second to the last " resolved " states that the Attorney of the Town is
requested to prepare a draft . We should include language for the cost to be shared amongst the
Recreation Partnership members . The Town should not have to pay for the entire cost .
Attorney Barney - I included it because someone needs to prepare the agreement . The resolution
could state that if the Town Supervisor and Deputy Supervisor so advised and financial agreements
are made satisfactory to that , they are authorized to request the Attorney for the Town to prepare the
agreement .
Councilman Klein - The other partnerships will want to know the estimated cost .
Attorney Barney - I could put together an estimate .

Councilman Lesser, aye .
Agenda Item No. 12 = Drew Subdivision Request for Water.
Mr. Walker presented a map to the board showing the portions of the Town on West Hill that currently
have water service.
Mr. Walker - We are looking at four locations for a possible water tank site as part of the West Hill
ater Improvement . The current pump station is located on Oakwood Lane . Our existing water
route station is located on Route 96 .
The Drew Subdivision consists of sixty houses . Some residents have low water others have very low
water. A few residents have poor quality water. I feel there is a need for water. Some residents
have very low quality and questionable quantities of water. We also looked at the need for sewer
systems . These lots are larger than one acre . There is plenty of room for on site septic systems .
The current West Hill water system runs along West Haven Road to the Bundy Road area . It is
limited to 1 , 000 feet of elevation . It would be necessary to build an additional tank and pump station
to pressurize the water to the Drew Subdivision . The route suggested in the report follows Elm Street
Extension to the Drew `subdivision . It would be about 7 , 000 feet . It would go through the Coy Glenn
area . There is a nature preserve in Coy Glenn and it is part of a Unique Natural Area .
There are a few other properties along the route that could be served . There is a large portion of
farmland along this route that was considered for the PDR program . Opposite the farmland is a large
tract of land that the landowner would be very interested in subdividing . We need to take into account
the impact on the agricultural zone .
At this point in time to spend $250 , 000 for sixty homes is a lot of money . I am not pushing this project
at this time . I would be glad to build the project if it is the board 's desire . We have more important
TOWN BOARD PAGE 12 MARCH 12 , 2001
APPROVED - APPROVED - APPROVED - APRIL 9, 2001 - APPROVED - APPROVED - APPROVED
items to do at this time . We need to provide an additional tank to reinforce the Trumansburg Roa
tank . The pump station is going to cost $300 , 000 for the Trumansburg Road project . It is on th
agenda for this year and has been budgeted . The water tank is going to cost $300 , 000 . There ar
environmental issues with the water tank . The tanks are slightly higher than the Trumansburg Roa
tank. It would provide adequate water pressure and fire flows along West Haven Road .
Councilman Klein - Is the estimate the most economic ?
Mr. Walker - It is the shortest distance and passes the least amount of farmland . The number might
be low because we would need to go into a gorge and back up hill .
Councilman Klein - Would you pick up more connections along the way?
Mr. Walker - Yes . We could serve Longhouse with water if we were to extend water service .
Councilman Klein - Is it conceivable since we have paid off the Bolton Point debts to create a water
district to take this out of the Townwide water districts ? I understand that it was not an option the last
time we discussed this .
Mr. Walker - We would not take it out of the water district because we have a Townwide benefited
area . I am not sure h1 w we could go back from that .
Attorney Barney - I anti not sure if we could create a sub area .
Councilman Klein - It would allow this group of residents to vote whether or not they are willing to pa
$20 , 000 per household for water service .
Councilwoman Russell - It would be worth looking at from a legal standpoint . We are rezoning this
area agricultural .
Attorney Barney - The Townwide benefited area was created for the same reasons .
Councilman Klein - The consultants portrayed a lot of the water extensions under the theory that they
would run water throughout the entire Town regardless of the development . Mr. Niklas has made the
point that we are redoing the Zoning Ordinance . We could include provisions within the zones that
even within the availability of water there could be large lot zoning . We would still have the
complicated formula for subdividing farm parcels .
Councilwoman Grigorov - It could be changed at anytime .
Councilwoman Russell - It would not protect it nearly as much as it would if there was no water.
Mr. Walker - We are not allowed to develop another source of water under the Bolton Point
agreement . Ten years ago we discussed a well as a second source on West Hill . I do not think it is
feasible because of the current aquifer. Newfield found that when they drilled the test well into the
existing aquifer that thney were in a shallower hole than they thought . They are discussing with Bolto

uch difference in cost . It would create another layer of administration . We would still need to
ovide potable water, treat and chlorinate it . We would need a storage tank . Bolton Point would
eed to operate it as a licensed water operator.
Attorney Barney - The Town has agreements with the City as well .
Mr. Walker - We would need approval from the City before we do a major expansion . We are not
having problems with the City agreement . The City would not have the capacity in their treatment
plant to supply water to Jacksonville .
Councilman Klein - There are fewer than sixty units to Jacksonville .
Mr. Walker - There would be about two hundred properties that would be serviced .
Councilwoman Russell - Mr. Niklas was under the impression that we had already changed the
zoning . We have not formed any protections for the Unique Natural Area . The protections are not in
place at this time .
Mr. Walker - One resident drilled a well eight or nine years ago . He is in the valley area where the
tributary to Coy Glenn runs . The steepness of the slope would make it a very smaller aquifer. There
might be enough to serve everyone there . Genex has six wells . They average two or three gallons a
minute total for the wells,
Councilman Lesser - Could someone contact Mr. Niklas and explain the cost? We need to explain
that we have budgeted our expenditures on West Hill for these other tanks .
Councilman Klein - It would take a long time to pay off a $ 1 . 2 million debt if the cost to the residents is
$500 per year. There are thirty residents . We would only be receiving $30 , 000 per year. We would
not be able to cover the interest .
Mr. Carvill - How could the residents be precluded if they were able to raise the money on their own ?
Attorney Barney - One million , two hundred thousand dollars financed over twenty years is $60 , 000
per year for the principle. The interest would cost another $30 , 000 . It would be $ 1 , 500 per year for
each resident .
Councilwoman Russell - The request for water would proliferate if we extended water to the Drew
Subdivision .
Mr. Walker - These properties have been paying a benefit assessment for the last twenty years .
Councilwoman Russell - We do need to look into this .
Councilman Klein - There is a process when there is a request for the Town to take over a road . The
engineer has to come up with the costs .

Mr. Walker - It is the same with a water main extension .
Councilman Klein - We need to look at what it would cost to create the individual district and th
impact on the Townwide basis . Our water benefit pays off the debt service . It would increase the
debt service .
Councilman Lesser - What is the status of the Zoning Ordinance? This area is to be zoned without
extending services .
Councilman Klein - We will have the zoning in place before a water district . The next Codes and
Ordinance meeting is March 16th . We could discuss zoning restrictions .
Attorney Barney - The problem with zoning restrictions on the land where the water lines would run is
that zoning restrictions could be changed . The restrictions cannot be locked into concrete . This
board has a strong feeling against it . Another board might have a different view .
Councilwoman Russell - Some municipalities have run water lines passed agricultural lands that they
were trying to protect and not put the laterals in .
Mr. Walker - A farm in an agricultural district cannot be charged for more than one unit . They can
only be charged for the equivalent of water they are using .
Councilwoman Russell - What direction do we want to give to staff?
Councilwoman Grigorov - We should send a letter to Mr. Niklas .
Councilman Klein - This is the same argument we had ten years ago . The land in between is
agriculture and open space . There are some people who have a serious need . The Zoning
Ordinance would be a way to protect the land , but it is not forever. My feeling ten years ago was to
build a well system for them that they would have to pay for. Mr. Walker has expressed the cost is
comparable . It is a large expense .
Councilman Lesser - Is it possible to build a limited pipeline that it could not be extended further?
Mr. Walker - The Town standard for a water main is at minimum an eight- inch water main . It is to
maintain fire flow . Domestic flow would be six or seven gallons per minute and peaking up to two or
three hundred gallons per minute . The minimum fire flow is one thousand gallons per minute at the
hydrant .
Councilwoman Russell - Should we look into the well system ?
Mr. Walker - I can do research on it .
Councilman Klein - We need the attorney to look at the legalities of creating the separate water
district of the well system . It is self-contained and is not expandable . It will not have a negativ
impact on the area . We need to look at the impact on the Townwide benefit assessment .

Mr. Walker - We will need to do an extensive environmental review of the area . I do not want to
recommend a full environmental impact statement . I would feel more comfortable if the Town Board
had the controls in place: that they felt were necessary to preserve the agricultural nature of the area .
Councilman Klein - The well system would not have a large impact .
Councilman Lesser - The property could be considered for the PDR program .
Councilman Klein - The! PDR program cannot be forced . The numbers that have come up for the
appraised value of the development rights are a lot lower than what people perceived the numbers
would be .
Ms . Ritter - There is one property owner in the neighborhood who has about one hundred and twenty
acres . He was not pleased with the appraisal . The other parcel has over two hundred and fifty acres .
It has not been appraised at this point , but it is another valuable property .
Councilman Klein - We can offer to purchase everyone 's rights , but they might not accept the offer.
Councilwoman Russell - We will look into a possible well system and write a response .
Mr. Walker - There will probably be resistance from the Health Department for us to develop a well
system when we already have a water source .
Agenda Item No. 13 - Ithaca Fire Department Use of Town Hall for Storage and Training .
Mr. Walker - The letter in the packet was from the Deputy Chief that is leading the Emergency
Management Training for the Ithaca Fire Department . We have been participating with the Fire
Department for the last several years in the emergency training . Mr. Noteboom and I attended a
session in Maryland last year. We have two employees attending a session being held at Ithaca
College this week. The Fire Department has developed a tabletop model of Ithaca . They use the
model for creating the disasters and having the personnel that would be dealing with the disaster
work through the scenarios . It is a very interesting process . They have dispatchers and use formal
radios to communicate with different persons . They move the cars around and have police incidents .
Pressure is put on people to perform the task in real time to solve the problems .
The Fire Department has a lack of space for the training . They have a need to store the equipment
where it is accessible for them to work on it . The old portion of our basement would be fine to store
the model . They also need a space to handle fifteen to twenty people for training sessions . This
would be held several times a year and might be for periods of two to three weeks where they would
be set up . We have the space in our break room downstairs . It would suit the purpose . It could be
set up at one end of the room and not adversely impact the employee 's use of the break room . A lot
of the training occurs in the evening or on weekends . We would need to have access control to the
building during those tirnes . It should not impact our operations significantly. We pay for a large
portion of the Fire Department's training so it would reduce the cost for the Town .
Councilman Klein - Where would they be located downstairs ?
TOWN BOARD I PAGE 16 MARCH 12 , 2001
APPROVED - APPROVED - APPROVED - APRIL 9, 2001 - APPROVED - APPROVED - APPROVED
Mr. Walker - The storage would occur in the old basement . The model can be taken apart to move it .
The Fire Department also has a couple tool chests where they store the pieces of the model . Anothe
space is needed where they could locate other operations people . We have the library spac
available downstairs . It is possible to set it up in the old space depending upon access questions .
Councilman Klein - Is there ventilation in the old basement ?
Mr. Walker - There are windows that open .
Deputy Supervisor Russell - Would the trainings occur only on evenings and weekends?
Mr. Walker - There might be some training during the day . We would need to schedule the training
around our needs .
Councilman Klein - They would be able to use the back door.
Mr. Walker - Mrs . Drake has programmed a fob to only access the back outside door. We would give
them a key to the basement , which would not allow them to access other portions of the building . We
have restrooms downstairs . It would be a minimal security problem .
Councilman Lesser - It would be great if we are able to help the Fire Department . It would be easy
for the board to approve the use , but we do not use the space . Has the staff been asked if it would
be acceptable to have part of their break area used for Fire Department training ?
Mr. Carvill - What is the approximate cost in the City budget for training ? How does it affect us ?
Councilwoman Russell - We need to find out if we are being charged for space used as part of the
training .
Mr. Carvill - The City is charging $50 , 000 a year for on -site training at the Fire House and other City
facilities . The Town might be providing adequate space for the training . I would anticipate that the
City is going to delete $50 , 000 of expenditure , which would in turn reduce our fire rate .
Attorney Barney - The City could shift the $50 , 000 so that the Town would receive the money for the
use of the facility .
Mr. Carvill - It is another possibility .
Councilman Klein - The City charges for debt service and manpower. We are paying for the training it
is really based on the manpower.
Mr. Walker - There are two training rooms in Central Station that are used . The rooms are not
adequate .
Councilman Klein - I am not sure if we are paying for the training space .

t ttorney Barney - Mr. Carvill is correct . The City is not donating towards this space for training . The
own pays debt service for the Fire Station . It is a debt service for a building . The Town is paying for
e space . It is not unreasonable .
Councilman Klein - We are heating and lighting the space on a weekend . We pay for the cleaning of
the space .
Mr. Walker - It might require to have the cleaning company come in more often .
Mrs . Drake - We need to find out how often they would be using the building .
Councilwoman Grigorov - How far into the future would the space be used ?
Councilman Klein - This would be a permanent solution until such time the Town needed the space .
Councilwoman Grigorov - We need to be able to get the space back if we need it .
Mr. Carvill - The Town has offered the Fire Department a certain amount of space for records
storage . It is offered with the provision that it is being offered for six months to the volunteer Fire
Department until they find an alternative location . Then after six months they will be charged for
records storage . We could help the Fire Department , but include a time constraint .
Mr. Walker - The Fire Department would prefer to use the facility on South Hill as a training facility as
well . They may not build a large room in the facility .
The board has expressed that this would be a good community effort . I could contact the Fire
Department and obtain more details on the day of training and how often the training would occur. I
will work out an actual training program with the Fire Department .
Councilman Lesser - The issue should be raised about the Town receiving some compensation .
Mr. Walker - It will be easier to determine the cost once we know how often the training would be
held .
Councilman Lesser - There are two level of costs . It is rather trivial compared to what the value of the
space would be in the City if the City rented it or acquired it . We should receive some share in return .
Mr. Walker - The only expense for the emergency training in Maryland was the meals . It was funded
by the Federal Emergency Management group . The program that Mr. Sincebaugh and Mr. Redman
are attending at Ithaca College is being fully funded by the State Emergency Management Agency.
There is not cost to us . We are trying to create an internal training program and bring more of the
volunteers into the program .
Councilwoman Grigorov - Does the large model include the Town of Ithaca?

large areas of hazard . I am sure the hospital is included in the model .
Councilman Klein - It will be interesting to know how much of the Town of Ithaca is included in the
model .
Deputy Supervisor Russell - Mr. Carvill , could you look at the fire budget and see if there is an
allocation of cost for space rental that we are being charged by the City for training ?
Mr. Carvill - Yes .
Agenda Item No. 14 = Road Salt and Changes to Salt Storage Facility.
Councilman Lesser Councilman Niederkorn and I toured the facility . We really need to do
something with the facility.
Councilman Klein - The ice magic has been extremely effective . It is far more effective than what
Cargo is selling . I live, on Winthrop Drive in Cayuga Heights . It is amazing how the road is bare in the
Town of Ithaca and the Village of Cayuga Heights is snow covered . The Village roads are plowed
and salted . Clearly at the Town line on Winthrop Drive the road is bare . The ice magic really works .
It makes the salt more effective .
Councilwoman Russell - I have noticed it in my neighborhood . Coddington Road is completely is
passed the Town line :
Councilman Klein - It is worth it in terms of safety and in the service to the residents .
I
Councilwoman Grigorov - Some one spoke at the Watershed Committee meeting about the additive
they had been putting in with the salt . They said it might be bad for the lake .
Councilman Klein - It is a bi - product of beer making . It is an organic material . There might be some
hazard . Less salt is used with the product . Mr. Noteboom would like to put together a system for
mixing the salt and magic ice .
Mr. Walker - The system that the Highway Department put together a few years ago involved an old
spider box off the salt trucks . Then they bought a conveyer belt . They built a spray unit onto the
conveyor belt in the salt shed . They have two old fuel tanks that they are using to store the material .
It was done inexpensively . They would like to build a concrete bin with an arm at the bottom . It
would have a small topper that would have an injection point . Then the auger would bring it into the
salt storage barn . While it is coming up in the auger it would be mixed and dumped into the storage
barn . Pre-cast concrete units will be stacked together to build it . The augers are about $ 15 , 000 for
this set- up . The preL cast concrete units have been used on Forest Home Drive across from Flat

Agenda Item No. 15 - SEQR : Reconstruction of Maple Avenue. See Attachment #3
Mr. Walker - An overview of the project was provided to the board in the packet . We are going to be
deconstructing and reconstructing Maple Avenue from the City line . This is right at the Cornell Sheet
Metal and Paint Shops to Pine Tree Road . Along with the reconstruction there will be a walkway. It
will be an asphalt walkway that will continue the length of the Ithaca Recreation Way. A walkway
comes out onto Maple Avenue . The old railroad grade comes out onto Maple Avenue . There is a
crosswalk to the sidewalk . The sidewalk only extends one hundred feet . There is no link to the
walkway connection that we have at the top of the hill near the Cornell Agricultural buildings. This
sidewalk will provide that link . People will be able to walk on the Recreation Way over to Game Farm
Road . The walkway will stay on the north side of the road . We have a tight space near the Cornell
Agricultural buildings . We will be building a retaining wall to allow the sidewalk to pass . It will
continue up to where the Recreation Way goes down the hill . There is a parking area on the north
side of the road for the Recreation Way . We will be regrading and cutting the bank to improve sight
distance . We will be putting a parking area on the south side of the road . It is posted as two hour
parking .
The asphalt sidewalk will continue down to Pine Tree Road . There will be a crosswalk at the
intersection . There is gravel path on the west side of Pine Tree Road . The section of Maple Avenue
in front of the Maple Avenue Apartments will be curbed . It will be two twelve foot lanes with granite
curbing . The sidewalk will be above the road on the left hand side . We do not have a lot of room in
the right-of-way. The asphalt is about twenty-four feet wide . The lanes are going to be striped at ten
feet .
There will be two ten foot lanes with two five foot paved shoulders from the top of the hill . The
walkway will be separated from the shoulder by a three foot grass strip . We are going to be

realigning the road to improve the sight distance . The cut and fill is going to be balanced . We ar
hoping to grind off they old asphalt down to the base . That material will be used as fill in the fill area .
The current cost esti , ate is $251 , 000 . The original estimate was $260 , 000 . The Town has received
$207 , 000 for the project from the State . We have $53 , 000 available in the Highway fund .
Mr. Carvill - We have not received a check or letter of commitment .
Mr. Walker - This is an authorization to put the project out to bid . The plan is to have the bids in by
April 7th . There will be a resolution recommending an award of the bid . Our goal is to do this project
while Cornell is out i f session . This will minimize impacts to traffic . The road is not a major
thoroughfare .

Agenda Item No. 16 - Point Factor Job Evaluation , Job Reclassifications, & Salary Upgrades.
See Attachment #4
Mrs . Drake - The Department Heads , Paul Tunison and Larry Parlett met several times last year
before we moved to start looking at how positions are classified within the Town . When we went with
civil service , we followed the County's classification schedule and criteria . I provided the board with
the job classification listing . The Department Heads felt that the County's criteria did not match our
own organization . We have developed our own criteria . Supervisor Valentino wanted the board's
approval to continue to move ahead with the classification schedule . With this , new positions would
be evaluated on how they fit in with the classifications with other positions . It also helps to determine
salaries where we hire persons in and salary upgrades .
At the current time we are only looking at Town of Ithaca positions . Bolton Point has recently had the
union voted in . They will be looking at their own system . There are some positions that are the same
as ours .
I am doing a review of other wages in the County and other towns and counties outside of Tompkins
County . I do this review every three years . This is done for comparison , especially for our highway
personnel . It is to make sure that our salaries are in - line with other areas in New York State ,
Councilman Klein - Supervisor Valentino mentioned that we would be increasing wages slightly. Our
hiring levels are a little low .
Deputy Supervisor Russell - We have fallen behind in wages .
Councilman Lesser - What has been our annual wage package for the past three or four years?
What are the wage packages of communities that we might be competing with that we feel we are
behind ?
Mrs . Drake - The County and the City both have union contracts . Their increase is between three
and four percent union contract . The County is much higher than us . We are constantly trying to
keep up with the County . I do not expect the Town to match the County . We are always going to be
i

trying to keep up with them . This has happened in steps . Previously the Town of Ithaca raises wer
not substantial raises . It has taken us the last six years to keep us remotely close to the County. W
need to keep doing large increase to keep up . Supervisor Valentino and I have been looking at ho
we can adjust the system so that we are not doing large increases every three years when we are re-
evaluating .
One problem that we have with the County is that they hire in at the hiring rate . Nine months later the
employee is advanced into the working rate . It could be a $ 1 , 000 to $2 , 000 raise within nine months .
We have a hard time trying to meet it . We are trying to match their hiring rates .
Councilman Lesser - Where do the various rates come from for the categories? It seems that the job
classification system is much different from annual increments for someone who stayed in the same
job classification . Would it be two different aspects?
Mrs . Drake - Yes . The current system is based upon someone being hired in new between hiring and
job rate . Then there are basic steps until they reach the maximum rate . Once they reach the
maximum they receive a cost of living raise . One of the things that has happened every three years
is the hiring rate and job rate has been adjusted . Then by that time it is far behind the County .
Supervisor Valentino and I are looking at building into the system the adjustment of hiring rates and
job rate on an annual basis so that it does not fall too far behind . This has been a work in progress .
Councilman Lesser - What has the County been paying in the average of annual increments that we
have been falling that far behind ? Most of our employees are long term . It would not be such a
issue .
Mrs . Drake - Their average is 3 . 2 percent . The County is looking at a four percent raise for 2001 . W
hire employees in at a lower wage than the County . Employees need to have substantial raises to
keep up with the County job rate . We could hire someone in for $8 . 00 per hour. for three years . The
hiring rate for the County could be $ 10 . 00 per hour. We have done a lot of work . We do have
projections to present to the board . We would like approval to keep moving ahead .
Councilman Klein - Do we hire above the minimum rate? Do we ever hire at the job rate?
Mrs . Drake - We have hired at the job rate based upon experience . We evaluate it with the
Department Heads to determine the wage . I have not generally hired someone at the hiring minimum
in the last few years . We do have personnel , such as laborers , who accept the minimum hiring rate
because they want to get into civil service . They are generally the positions that fall far behind the
County . We do not want to lose any of our highway personnel to the County .
Councilman Lesser - It takes a large percentage increase at big dollars an hour to move anyone .
Deputy Supervisor Russell - Supervisor Valentino is interested in moving forward with the salary
upgrades for the employees within this year. The information will be helpful to the board on how
exactly that would happen .

Mrs . Drake - We expect to have different steps of this to the board in April and May. Hopefully by
June or July we will have wage adjustments . They would be re-classification adjustments . Then
when we start looking at the 2002 wage in July , we are not doing the re-classification adjustments
within it . We have discussed with Mr. Carvill the available funding to do this mid-year.
Councilman Lesser - When do salary packages go into effect ?
Mrs . Drake - Salary increases go into effect January 1St of every year.
Deputy Supervisor Russell - Supervisor Valentino felt it would be less confusing for the staff to get the
upgrades separated out from the yearly wage raise .
Councilman Klein - Who is the point system for?
Mrs . Drake - It is to put an employee into a classification . For each letter class there are certain
points defined to it . We would then review the job description and run through the point factor. There
is some give and take in it . I have gone through each job description several times . I have reviewed
the job descriptions with the Department Heads . We needed to bring some job descriptions up to
date .
Agenda Item No. 17 - Additional Funds for 1999 Audit of Ithaca Area Wastewater Treatment
Plant.
Mr. Carvill - It was the board 's interest October 2000 to clarify the financial conditions of the Ithaca
Area Wastewater Treatment Plant. The board appropriated $5 , 000 to engage our independent
auditor to perform an examination of review and give us a reporting . Our auditors have done so and
we have received their report . The exam did encounter some problems extrapolating information and
copying of worksheets . They had to go to the former independent auditor and had difficulties in
getting information from the City . It has resulted in an increase of cost . We need an additional
$2 , 500 to cover the expenses of $7 , 500 . The Town has paid out $5 , 000 to date . We engaged the
services and they were provided . We received meaningful numbers that enhanced our
understanding and knowledge of fund equities and debt allocation . It gave us information for future
questions that need to be asked of the partnership 's equity. The resolution is asking the Town to
budget an additional $2500 to pay for the individual auditor.
Deputy Supervisor Russell - Supervisor Valentino has approached some of the partners for possible
reimbursement .
Mr. Carvill - Supervisor Valentino has approached the other partners . They will be reporting back to
their boards and asking for funding . We do not have a firm commitment . The future services of our
independent auditors have been engaged by the SJS Commission ,
Councilman Lesser - This cost is about 75 % over what we were quoted . Is it justified ?
Mr. Carvill - It is justified . There was a lot of work done in preliminary planning for us to try to extract
information from our records . We had to approach prior independent auditors and copy worksheets .
The project was delayed for one month . During that month , performance statements and information

Agenda Item No. 20 - Report of Town Committees.
a. Report of Committee to Review Town Supervisor's Position
Councilman Klein - A report of from the Committee to Review Town Supervisor's Position was
provided in the packet .
Deputy Supervisor Russell - There was an article in the paper regarding cell towers reporting on a
meeting that took place between the County , town board members and town supervisors . There is a
legal issue that we are interested in exploring with the County . When I attended the Association of
Towns meeting I spoke with Don Barber. Mr. Barber explained the issue to me . I had read the
principle case that the issue is based upon , Monroe County and City of Rochester. Mr.
Barber set up a meeting with Harry Willis , an attorney from the Department of State . I went to the
meeting with Mr. Barber. It turns out the Mr. Willis ' opinion on how the County should be moving
forward with this project is much different from what the County saw as their procedural strategy.
We held a meeting with Barbara Mink and Jonathan Wood , County Attorney. They did not seem to
be recognizing that this should be impacting the way the communication towers issue should move
forward . Since that time they have done some legal research . The judge in the case put into place
the nine point balance of interest test . It is supposed to balance the interest between the county and
the municipality that would be hosting the county facility .
The county was not showing any indication that they knew about the nine point balancing test or that
it affected them at all . Mr. Willis' take on the issue was that the nine point balancing test was a test
that needed to be done on the local municipality level to decide whether the county was exempt from
our zoning regulations . The county since then has decided that they can and will proceed to do the
test themselves . They will not submit themselves to our zoning regulations at all . We are still in the
process of evaluating case law and trying to figure out where we are with this issue .
Councilwoman Grigorov - The County Board represents the individual towns and villages . They
seem to be representincl the County . They are representing us , but are not considering our point of
view .
Deputy Supervisor Russell - The Town 's cell tower ordinance is to mitigate the impacts of cell towers .
Other municipalities feel the same way. Attorney Barney and myself are reviewing case law .

Councilman Lesser - II followed up with information regarding the Coddington Road project . There wi
be a selection process for the consulting engineer to design this project . I do not know who woul
represent the Town in the selection of a consulting engineer.
Mr. Walker - Mr. Noteboom has been keeping in contact with the County on the project .
Councilman Klein - e should have a member of the board participate in the interviews with Mr.
Noteboom . We need I Wto notify the County as soon as possible .
Councilman Lesser - I can follow up on the project with Mr. Noteboom , The State recognizes Context
Sensitive Planning . If means the State can be flexible if you can convince them that the standards ,
rules and regulations that they use are not appropriate . The proposal mentions sidewalks . The State
or County does not dio anything about sidewalks . The Town would be responsible for the sidewalk
component of the project . The need for the sidewalk would be from the rear entrance of Ithaca
College to the connection with the top of Hudson Street . It is a difficult area . It would make better
sense for Ithaca College to build a walkway from Ithaca College to Hudson Street . It would keep
students entirely off Coddington Road . They would join the sidewalk system at the three-way stop .
i
Councilwoman GrigorIov - Many of the homes are very close to the road . It would be terrible for them .

a . Town Clerk on See Attachment # 6 .
b. Highway Superintendent on See Attachment # 7.
c . Director of Engineering no See Attachment # 8.
Councilman Klein - When is the Northeast Sewer meeting ?
Mr. Walker - It has been rescheduled for March 21 , 2001 . A letter was sent to residents last week .
The County has made the decision not to co locate the 911 Emergency Operations Center in the
Ithaca College building . There is a major concern by Mr. Lane that Route 96B is too difficult to get to
from other locations in the County. He has been pushing to located the Center near the airport . The
Fire Department has expressed that they have never had trouble getting up 96B at any time with their
equipment . They feel it is centrally located as far as their services . The airport service is remote for
them . Most of the persons making decisions in the City and Town are close to South Hill . The other
advantage to the Soul th Hill site is that with one antenna on South Hill , they can reach over 85% of
the County without using any other antenna sites . It would be with truck radios . All trucks could be
reached during a power outage . There is an existing tower on South Hill . It would need to be raised
forty feet . The County will be discussing an Emergency Management Plan .

Deputy Supervisor Russell - What are the outstanding issues?
Mr. Frost - They need to put a number on the building , which the contractor refuses to do . There are
minor things at this point . For example we do not have the paperwork certification for the sprinkler
system and the fire alarm system .
Mr. Walker - The subcontractor has not been paid . It is contributing to the problem of the building not
being numbered .
Deputy Supervisor Russell - There is not a sign on the door.
Mr. Frost - The architects have written letters to the contractor with deadlines , but there have been no
response .

from the hilltop and 3 feet filled in the road dip , along this hilly portion of the road. The new
road will have an 18 inch stone base with an 8 inch thick asphalt surface . All of the removed
asphalt will be re-used as fill material .
The overall road project will extend +/-2300 feet in length . When completed, the first +/-650
feet of roadway, starting at the City of Ithaca municipal boundary, will have two 12 foot wide
travel lanes, composed of asphalt and bordered with granite curbing. The remaining +/- 1500
foot section will have two 10 foot wide travel lanes and a 5 foot wide shoulder, both composed of
asphalt.
The project also includes the construction of a walkway. The walkway will be 6 foot wide and
will be constructed of asphalt. The walkway will be located on the north side of the new road
and extend along the entire 2300 foot length. Along the first +/-650 feet of the walkway, starting
at the City boundary, the walkway will be separated from the roadway by the granite curbing .
Along the remaining +1- 1500, where curbing is not planned to be installed, the walkway will be
separated from the roadway by a 3 foot wide grass strip .
A better-defined parking area for users of the East Ithaca Recreationway will be developed on
the south side of the new road. This will replace the informal parking area on the north side of
the road, which is being relocated so that it doesn ' t interfere with the new proposed walkway.
The parking area will be +/- 100 feet long and +/- 10 feet wide .
C . Could action result in any adverse effects on , to or arising from the following :
C 1 . Existing air duality, surface or groundwater quality or quantity, noise levels , existing
traffic patterns , solid waste production or disposal , potential for erosion or flooding
problems ?
1
i
I
No significant adverse effects are anticipated relating to air quality, water quality or quantity,
noise levels, existing traffic patterns , solid waste, or potential for erosion, drainage, or flooding
as a result of the proposed action .
As a result of the 'proposed project there will be an increase of approximately 0. 35 acres of
impervious surface along the project ' s entire 2300 foot length . This is not considered a
significant amount of additional impervious surface, and should not result in any noticeable
increase of runoff. Drainage patterns will continue as they currently exist. No changes in water
quality are anticipated.
During construction, elevated noise levels along the project route would be expected due to the
nature of the work and the use of heavy machinery. Noise from the project is not expected to be
significant or unusual for this type of work, it will be for the short-term construction period, and
only during the regular workday hours . Most of the project site traverses along Cornell
University agricultural fields and the East Lawn cemetery, there are very few residences in the
area, with the exception of the Maple Wood apartments , which is located at the far west end of
the project site .
I
A portion of Maple Avenue is expected to be closed during some of the construction period,
which may temporarily affect traffic patterns . Alternative routes , such as Mitchell Street or
Route 366 are available . Construction will take place during Cornell University' s summer break,
so overall traffic volumes in the locale area will be reduced, and therefore the alternative routes
should not experience any significant increases in traffic volumes . The short-term impacts are
therefore not anticipated to be significant . In the long run the project will create a better and
safer transportation option for pedestrians and bicyclist traveling on Maple Ave. to Pine Tree
Road.
The asphalt and road base that will be removed from the existing road is expected to be re-used
as fill material in1the new road, therefore, no significant solid waste will be generated as a result
of the project.
I
C2 . Aesthetic , agriculture, archeological , historic, or other natural or cultural resources ,
or community or neighborhood character?
I
I
No impacts to aesthetic , agriculture, archeological, historic , or other natural or cultural resources ,
or community orIneighborhood character.
The project involves the improvement of Maple Avenue , an existing roadway, and the addition
of a pedestrian walkway to Pine Tree Road. The project is anticipated to improve the
community or neighborhood character, by providing a safe alternative transportation route ,
especially for pedestrians , to Pine Tree Road .
C3 . Vegetation or fauna, fish, shellfish or wildlife species , significant habitats, or
threatened or endangered species ?
None Anticipated,
2
I
C4 . The Town ' s existing plans or goals as officially adopted, or a change in use or
intensity of :land or other natural resources ?
None Anticipated. The project involves the creation of a walkway that will provide a more
pedestrian friendly transportation route . This aspect of the project is desirable and consistent
with the Town of Ithaca Comprehensive Plan .
C5 . Growth subsequent development or related activities likely to be induced by the
proposed action ?
None Anticipated.
C6 . Long term short term cumulative , or other effects not identified in CI -05 ?
None Anticipated,
C7 . Other impacts (including changes in use of either quantity or type of energy) ?
None Anticipated ,
D . Is there , or is there likely to be controversy related to potential adverse environmental
impacts ?
No controversy related to potential adverse environmental impacts is anticipated.
PART III. — Staff Recommendation, Determination of Significance
Based on review of the materials submitted for the proposed action, the proposed scale of it, and
the information above, a negative determination of environmental significance is recommended
for the action as proposed.

Town of Ithaca Town Board, March 12, 2001
Highway Department Report .
For February 2001
Administrative
Land Acquisition. New York State Parks have been looking to buy a portion of land
that David Auble owns. This land borders Upper Buttermilk Park and extends to
Danby Road (Route 96B) . New York State Parks will be acquiring approximately one
half of this property which includes the wet lands that border the present park land and
a 150-foot strip on the south side of the property extending to Danby Road. The 150-
foot wide strip is to protect the stream that runs on that side of the property. The New
York State Parks is presently at the appraisal stage with plans to acquire the property by
the end of 2001 or beginning of 2002 .
Hanshaw Road Sewer Project: We had a meeting with the community regarding this
project. We were, asked several questions and decided to have another meeting. This
meeting was schE!duled for March 5, 2001 . Due to the weather this meeting was
canceled and rescheduled for March 21 , 2001 .
HighwaWork
Catch basins: In February we finished our inventory of the Town's catch basins. They
will soon be in a database that will identify their location, size of all inverts, and
dimensions of catch basins . This will allow us to initialize a program of annual
inspection and cleaning . We would like to get them identified on the Town's GIS
system.
Water / Sewer: We had five water breaks in February . Two were in the Northeast and
three were on East Hill. We continue to work on a long list of identified water and
sewer repairs such as changing fire hydrants. We continue to move towards our goal of
complete ROW maintenance with annual inspection of our water and sewer systems .
Tree and Brush Removal: We have established a program of regular tree and brush
removal . We trim and remove dead trees and brush (starting with the roads that will be
worked on during the summer) during the winter months so that we can free up hours
for our construction season .
Iacovelli Park: We had some good days in February and we marked out the
playground site . We cleared and removed necessary stumps, then started placing some
of the fill necessary to level the area . We also blocked off the park so that people could
not use it for a parking area . We will continue to work on the park as the weather
permits.

Town Engineer's Report for 3/12/01
Town Board Meeting
GENERAL
Staff
Civil Engineer Chuck White has decided to broaden his horizons and has accepted a position with a consulting Engineering
firm in the Syracuse area. He has resigned from the Town effective March 9. Chuck has been an integral part of the Town
Engineering Team and will be missed by all of us. We wish him well in his newest endeavor.
Operations & Facility Management
The wood trim around the original postal boxes installed in the Hall by the Town Clerks office has been installed and is
being painted to match the other window trim .
A list of small maintenance and repair jobs at the Town Hall jobs is being kept and most of the jobs can be completed by
existing Town staff. Work is being scheduled so that several similar jobs can be done at one time to allow more efficient
operation .
Records Management
Engineering staff is continuing to work with all departments on implementation of the Town of Ithaca records management
system. The system incorporates effective use of the various filing resources available in the Town Hall with a computerized
database to keep track of the documents. Training on using the various database tiles is being done informally on an
individualized basis.
Park and Open Space
The Engineering staff is coordinating with the Highway Department and Planning Department on the development of the
Hanna Pew Trail Plan. Assistance will be provided on project planning and development, survey work, design development
and construction document. Survey work has been planned and will be started after we receive the signed project agreement
from NYS . The agreement is being processed by New York State.
Highway
The Engineering Staff is completing the final design and construction documents for the Maple Avenue roadway and
walkway improvement project scheduled for construction in 2001 . This project will be contracted out and will be bid in
April for a construction start in June with project completion scheduled for August.
91 1 [Emergency Operations Center Committee
The County Communication Capital Project committee has been reviewing the information on several different sites and
design configurations for the 91 1 Dispatch Center, which will also be the base for the Emergency Operations Center. The
decision making process on the site must be completed prior to advancing the design development.

East Hill
The Eastern Heights drainage improvement project includes the work nearing completion on Park Lane and the stabilization
of the drainage channel above Rte. 79 adjacent to the Ewing' s property. This portion of the drainage channel will be
stabilized with heavy rock Rip Rap and the final design is being completed bid the job this winter.
EARTH FILL PERMITS
There has been no activity on the City of Ithaca application for the proposed demolition and construction spoil disposal site
on the Landstro'm lot. The Town of Newfield supervisor has contacted the Town Engineer to reiterate that they are very
interested in coiInmenting on the project during the review.
One fill permit application is being processed for construction of two ponds on Tax Parcel 47 .-2-6.2 on the east side of
Coddington Road . The project will entail placement of approximately 3500 cubic yards in fill excavated form the two pond
pool areas. The project was started prior to the permit application and after protecting the area with silt fence the contractor
has stopped work until a permit is received . The site is within the Six Mile Creek Conservation Zone. The project will be
reviewed by the Planning Board prior to consideration by the Zoning Board for the fill permit.
WATER PROJECTS
I
Integrated Water System)
Final project planning and design work on improvements for the integrated water system is on hold until completion of the
revised KU WC agreement. A meeting of the Integrated Water System Committee is scheduled for April 5 , 2001 at Bolton
Point.
West Hill Water Systeni
Final design work on a new pump station to replace the aging Cliff Street pump station is being completed . The proposed
plan and engineering report has been sent to the City Public Works department for review and comment, and the City
Board of Public Works will be reviewing the project on March 7 , 2001 . Construction documents are being prepared for
advertisement for Bid after the April Town Board meeting.
I
Several Tank locations to site a tank to reinforce the Trumansburg Road Tank are being evaluated and will be reviewed
by the Public Works Committee and the Planning Board .
I
The Engineering Staff is working on preliminary plans and an engineering report for the part of the West Hill water
system behind the Biggs complex and the Hospital . This is an old watermain and as the Hospital complex has developed
over the years, significant regrading has occurred which has resulted in sections of the line being covered by over 20 feet
of fill . This makes locating and repairing the line very difficult. Relocation of a portion of the line will be considered for
construction and plans are being reviewed along with the development plans for the Biggs A building.
Water System Mapping and Model
I
The Engineering student interns, have been continuing to update the electronic database for the water system . This
information will be used to update the town-wide water system hydraulic model , and will be used to provide information
to locate water mains in the field . These tools are important for effective maintenance of the water system .

TOWN ENGINEERS REPORT 3/ 12/01 PAGE 3
Preliminary planning to replace portions of the Hanshaw Road watermain between Warren Road and Sapsucker Woods
Road will be completed in April . This watermain is the same age and condition as the Warren Road watermain replaced
last year. This work would be coordinated with the proposed County Project to reconstruct Hanshaw Road, which is
tentatively scheduled for 2002 . Much of the water main is located directly adjacent and below the County storm drainage
system.
SEWER PROJECTS
Joint Sewer Agreement
The SJS partners are continuing to work on the revised agreement for the Ithaca Area Waste Water Treatment Facility
and jointly used interceptor sewers.
Intermunicipal Sewer System
The Intermunicipal sewer Committee has been continuing to work on the Draft agreement for expanding the partnership
in the sewer system. A workshop was held on February 10, 2001 to review the agreement and solicit comments from the
elected officials of all six of the municipalities involved in the project. The Intermunicipal sewer group includes the three
existing partners in the Joint Sewer Subcommittee of the City of' Ithaca, The Town of Ithaca, and The Town of Dryden ,
plus the three potential partners which are the Village of Lansing, The village of Cayuga Heights and the Town of
Lansing. The group is also working on the scope of the Environmental Impact Statement required by NYSDEC
North East Sewer Improvements
The Town Engineer is proceeding on the design and contract documents for relining the Hanshaw Road sewer main from the
Village of Cayuga Heights line to Warren Road . The site has been surveyed after the residents were notified of the
maintenance work and brush was cut. Several of the residents have expressed concern because fifty willow and poplar trees
have been identified as being directly over the back lot sewer line . These trees are potential hazards to the sewer because of
the water seeking nature of the roots. Access to the sewer easement will also require stabilization of a 10-foot wide strip over
the sewer main . A public meeting held on February 5 at the Northeast School resulted in a number of concerns from the
residents regarding tree removal and environmental impacts of the project. An environmental review of the project will be
completed and the resident questions will be addressed prior to a second public meeting to be held on March 21 , 2001 .
West Hill Sewer System
The sewer line on the East Side of Trumansburg Road from the City line north to the Biggs complex is one of the oldest
sewer mains in the Town . This sewer, which serves the Hospital and the Lakeside Nursing Home, is old vitrified clay tile
and is at capacity as well as requiring frequent maintenance for cleaning and root removal . The line is also a significant
source of I&I . The Town Engineer is in the process of developing a design and construction plan for replacement of this
sewer line in 2001 .
