CALL TO ORDER : Supervisor Valentino called the meeting to order at 5 : 30 p . m . and led the
assemblage in the Pledge of Allegiance .
Agenda Item No 3 — Report of Tompkins County Board of Representatives (Attachment
Representative Dick Booth appeared before the Board on behalf of the County Board of
Representatives .
Mr. Booth and Supervisor Valentino briefly discussed his coming again for the August Town
Board Meeting . He will get back to us .
Regarding voting machines , Mr. Booth reported that a State report would be coming out
dealing with the management and control of the machines . The County' s choices will be
largely driven by that report . The County knows no more than it did a month ago when the
issue was under discussion at the Town Board Meeting . The report was due out April first ;
when it is actually coming , Mr. Booth did not know .
Mr. Booth reported that it appears a majority of the County Legislature is interested in giving
notice that the County will withdraw from the Recreation Partnership . He told the Board that
was not his opinion , stating he felt it would be a significant policy mistake . However, it does
appear that is the way things are trending . This is not because anyone thinks recreation is
not important , but because the County is facing another extremely difficult financial year.
County support of recreation in the form of the Recreation Partnership is not something that a
number of Board members see as a sufficiently high priority .
In terms of budget , Mr. Booth reported it would be a difficult year. The County has received
significant help from federal legislation that will provide Medicaid assistant for about an 18
month period . What will happen after that 18-month period is not clear. Medicaid costs
continue to rise quite dramatically . The County will also have significant cost difficulties
because of the change in the reality of funding the State retirement system . Health costs
1
June 9 , 2003 TOWN BOARD MINUTES
APPROVED JULY 75 2003
continue to go up . The Legislature has asked County departments to absorb these benefit
cost increases in their existing budgets . Mr. Booth told the Board this would inevitably mean
substantial cuts in County Services or a substantial tax raise like we had this past year.
Regarding the County Emergency Communications Systems , the County is currently building
the Emergency Response Center at the Ithaca Airport . The building should be up and
running and connected to the existing system in the fall of this year. Once the building is
done the larger issue of what to do with the whole communication system remains "out
there" . The County has been working with the hope that they can combine their efforts with a
Statewide Emergency Network System ; they should know in about 2 or 3 weeks whether that
is going to be likely . The State is opening the bids soon . If the County system can be
dovetailed with that , presumably that can mean a substantial saving for "the people of
Tompkins County" .
The ig has been operating with 2 substantial variances for a number of years . These
variances from the State of New York permit the County to keep more than the designated
number of inmates at the jail . Whether the State continues those variances or continues one
of them is very important in terms of whether or not the County will have to spend an
enormous amount of money for a much larger jail as opposed to a large amount of money to
renovate the existing jail . These are choices the County will probably have to come to grips
with this year . Counties don 't have to have jails , but they do have to provide for the people
who occupy jails . So either you build a jail big enough according to State standards or you
send the persons in the jail to be housed in other Counties , which obviously is expensive .
This is the year the County' s contract with US Air will have to be renegotiated . They are
currently the only commercial airline coming into Tompkins County Airport . The reality under
which the soon to expire contract was negotiated has disappeared . Years ago you went to
an airline and you said to them you can land in our airport and these are the things that you
should pay . What is happening now in many smaller city airports , county airports across the
country , is the airport people go to the airlines and the airline says what will you pay us to
land in your airport . The County has a consultant and will be entering those negotiations this
year .
Councilwoman Grigorov asked if , because of the increasing cost of employee benefits , there
was any possibility of reductions in staff . Mr. Booth stated that a cut in services would
certainly involve cuts in staff .
Councilman Lesser and Mr. Booth discussed the increasing number of State mandates that
the municipal governments have to pay for.
Regarding sales tax revenues , Mr. Booth stated the County was not optimistic that the
revenues will dramatically change .
Supervisor Valentino told Mr. Booth she felt it would be a disaster if the County totally pulled
out of the Recreation Partnership , asking that the County consider decreasing it a little bit
over time to give the group a chance to make decisions regarding programming .
2
June 9 , 2003 TOWN BOARD MINUTES
APPROVED JULY 79 2003
Supervisor Valentino told the Board she had received a letter from Lee Shurtluff about the
Emergency Response System ( New York State Office of Technology Statewide Wireless
Network System ) . He included letters to send to Governor Pataki and others asking for an
agreement with the State to move forward to complete and rebuild the public safety
communications system . Supervisor Valentino asked for the Board ' s permission to sign and
send the letters . The Board gave their authorization . Mr. Kanter stated the Town was
waiting to hear from Mikel Shakarjian of the County about the Town ' s involvement in a
working group for discussion of elements applying to the Town of Ithaca .
Agenda Item No . 4 — Report of Fire Commissioners (Attachment #2 — written report)
Bob Romanowski appeared before the Board with the Commission ' s monthly report .
Supervisor Valentino asked how many fires stations there were inside the City limits . Mr.
Romanowski stated there are two : Central Fire Station and Station #9 .
Mr. Romanowski told the Board that the Fire Department' s last big fight with the City would
be about the replacement of the Fire Marshall . Supervisor Valentino stated that she would
be sending a letter to the City reminding them of their commitment to the contract that they
just signed with the Town . It clearly states in the contract the Fire Marshall ' s position is one
that needs to be filled . Another part of the contract concerns revenues from code
enforcement being attributed to the revenues for the Fire Department . Supervisor Valentino
stated she knew there was some thought to siphoning some of that off . Supervisor Valentino
is working with Fire Chief Wilbur on when is the best time to remind the City that they have a
contractual obligation .
Councilman Lesser asked if there was any relief for the Fire Department during the summer
when the colleges are operating at a much lower capacity . Mr. Romanowski told him no ,
there are summer programs at the colleges and on top of that the department lacks the
student bunkers that are available during the school year.
Agenda Item No. 5 — Consider Appointment of Representative to Board of Fire
Commissioners (Attachment #3 — Letter from Mr . Romanowski )
TB RESOLUTION NO. 2003-062 - Recommendation of Appointment to Board of Fire
Commissioners.
WHEREAS , Robert Romanowski ' s term on the Ithaca Board of Fire Commissioners as a

WHEREAS , Mr. Romanowski wishes to be re-appointed to the said position ; and
WHEREAS , the appointment to the said position is made by the City of Ithaca Common

Stephen Sweet, 115 Glenside Road
Mr. Sweet appeared before the Board to express his support of pursuing a park on the land
that Mr. Young has purchased behind his home . Supervisor Valentino told Mr. Sweet that the
Town has been talking with Mr. Young regarding his plans for the parcel . Supervisor
Valentino stated they were intending to have a neighborhood meeting to talk about the
various options . The meeting will probably be held at the Town ' s new Public Works Facility .
Agenda Item No . 7 — Set Public Hearing regarding the Bostwick Road Water Tank and
Transmission Line (Attachment # 4 - 2003 West Hill and Inlet Valley Water
Improvements — Engineering Report)(Attachment #5 — Debt Financing Information )
Mr. Walker reviewed his Engineer' s Report with the Board .
Councilwoman Russell asked the total projected cost of all the pieces of the project , stating it
sounds to her as though it is over the 3 million . Mr. Walker stated the total projected costs as
$3 , 134 , 750 . 00 , which includes the "soft costs' . Mr. Walker stated the number might change
slightly as the Town finalizes the location of the Glenside pump station .

Agenda Item No 10 — Presentation of SDG Information Access System
Mr. Walker gave a short presentation of the database management software that is being
designed for the Town by Systems Development Group . The purpose of the program is to
link existing Town databases and allow staff and officials to search the databases through a
newly designed front-end .
Councilman Lesser asked if the system would be made available to the public . Mr. Walker
stated that the existing agreement makes the system available on the Town ' s internal
network . It could , at some point , be easy to put a kiosk in the lobby if the Town chose to do
so . There would be privacy issues to consider before doing this . Supervisor Valentino stated
that , on the other hand , if an individual comes into Town Hall and wants information , any staff
member would be able to access that very easily .
Agenda Item No 11 — Public Hearing regarding the Proposed Phosphorous Removal
Project for the Ithaca Area Wastewater Treatment Plant (Attachment #7 — Project
Budget Letter From NYSDEC)
Supervisor Valentino opened the public hearing at 6 : 45 p . m . Contract documents and
drawings were available for Board and public review .
Supervisor Valentino stated that this is a joint project between the three partners of the sewer
plant : the City of Ithaca , the Town of Ithaca , the Town of Dryden . Mr. Walker told the Board
there is a grant from the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation to cover
more than half of the construction costs of adding tertiary phosphorus removal treatment to
the plant . It won 't increase capacity . The purpose is to remove phosphorus from the effluent .
Councilwoman Russell stated the removal process would cut the amount of phosphorus
discharged by half . Supervisor Valentino told the Board the Town would be responsible for
it' s share of $ 1 , 681 , 800 . 50 ; the Town is responsible for a 41 % share of costs .
Reimbursement from the State will reduce that to $549 , 292 . 00 . Supervisor Valentino is
proposing that the Town ' s share of project costs come from the surplus sewer funds . It will
not require any bonding by the Town . Ms . Valentino reported she has been talking with the
City and told them the Town will be putting out the money as the costs occur . We are not
going to transfer a large sum of money to the City ; we are going to look at all the bills and
costs as the project goes along .

APPROVED JULY 712003
Supervisor Valentino asked if there was anyone from the public who wanted to speak to the
Board about the proposed project . There was no one . Supervisor Valentino closed the
public hearing at 6 : 50 p . m .
Councilman Lesser stated this was an excellent project ; an issue that everyone around the
lake has been concern about . He asked if, during heavy rainfall , the system would be by-
passed . Mr. Walker told him the system has the capacity to handle rainfall . It is rated at 13 . 1
million gallons . The physical hydraulic capacity of the plant exceeds 30 million gallons per
day . If we exceed a flow rate of 36 million gallons there are by pass pumps that would by
pass the plant . Our biggest problem is illegal connections , leakage through manholes , and
both the City and the Town are actively trying to reduce the infiltration and inflow.
Councilman Burbank asked what happens to the phosphorus that is removed . Mr. Walker
told him that it gets removed from the plant as sludge . One of the bigger costs of the
operation is solids handling because it settles out as a sludge and then has to be dried and
then is disposed of. Currently, our sludge is being landfilled . There are some problems
getting approval for land spreading for beneficial use because of the potential for heavy
metals in the sludge and the State has very stringent requirements , it cannot have any
contact with root crops , even spreading on pastureland . Mr. Burbank asked if the new
process would be creating a waste product that will be even harder to get rid of? Mr. Walker
stated it would be no harder to get rid of .

SECONDED by Councilperson Klein
VOTE : Supervisor Valentino , aye ; Councilwoman Russell , aye ; Councilwoman Grigorov ,
aye ; Councilman Klein , aye ; Councilman Lesser, aye ; Councilman Burbank , aye ; Councilman
Niederkorn , aye . Carried unanimously .
Supervisor Valentino told the Board that she did not foresee a change in the water benefit
district charge or the O and M (operating and maintenance) costs for water. The sewer
benefit has been accruing money at a fast clip and the water benefit has not been recovering
as quickly . A worst-case scenarios would be to decrease the sewer benefit for people and
raise the water a little . About 99 people just get sewer, in the worst-case scenario they would
see a drop in cost . About 300 people would see a slight increase of around $ 10 per year.
Councilman Lesser asked how long it would be until the project ' s completion . Mr. Walker
stated there would be about 18 to 20 months of construction , adding they are still waiting on
final approval from the Department of Environmental Conservation ,
Agenda Item No . 14 — Public Hearing regarding a Local Law to Amend the Town of
Ithaca Zoning Ordinance to Rezone Portions of the : David Auble Premises on the
Corner of West King Road and Danby Road (Attachment — Memo from J . Kanter ;
petition )
Mr. Kanter reported that , at their last meeting , the Planning Board issued a positive
recommendation on the rezoning and issued preliminary subdivision and site plan approval .
Dave Auble, 1060 Danby Road . Mr. Auble told the Board he had canvassed the
neighborhood to inform the nearby residents about his proposed development . He presented
a petition with 50 signatures . He commented that many of the signatories lived closer to the
site than signatories on other petitions submitted . Mr. Auble reported that no one he talked to
about the development had any objections to the project . He noticed that many of the people
he spoke with did not know the residents having signed the other petition . He told the Board
that was one of the things he hoped his proposed development would do , help create more of
a neighborhood atmosphere .
Mr . Auble reviewed the proposed development with the Board .
Councilman Burbank asked what Mr. Auble would be doing to attract active elderly as
opposed to students to the rental units within the project . Mr. Auble stated the marketing
18
June 9 , 2003 TOWN BOARD MINUTES
APPROVED JULY 75 2003
would be targeted to seniors and he would structure his leases in a way that , if he were a
student , he probably would not want to adhere to the lease requirements .
Tony Ingraham , 368 Stone Quarry Road
Mr. Ingram introduced himself to the Board telling them he lives around the corner from the
proposed project and had a 24-year career in the Finger Lakes State Parks . Mr. Ingram
stated he was very glad that Mr. Auble and the State Parks had come to agreement on the
transfer of a substantial portion of the property to the State Park . In general , Mr. Ingram felt
the proposed rezoning of the property was better than the existing zoning in terms of the
potential impacts on the State park . However, he would like to see it go a step further. On
the portion adjacent to the State Park , the single family home scheme seems consistent with
what the Town has identified in the past of having a minimum impact sort of development
near the State Park . The multiple units , however, Mr. Ingram thought stepped beyond the
spirit of the Town ' s intention of keeping a minimum level of development , minimum impact
kind of development . Mr. Ingram stated his desire to see no multiple family residences on
that side of Route 96B . They are a fairly intense development . It puts increased pressure ,
traffic and people pressure , more traffic on West King Road and more people using the park .
Mr . Ingram expressed concern about the traffic impacts on Stone Quarry Road . It is now the
cut-off to Wegman ' s . It is not a road that is capable of handling a lot of traffic and so it gets
more dangerous and it gets noisier. Mr. Ingram stated he was concerned about the rental
units increasing the traffic on Stone Quarry Road . Mr. Ingram closed stating he would like to
see the area zoned single family ; he felt it would be better for the neighborhood and better for
the park in general .
Christianne Dean , Chair of the Town ' s Agriculture Committee
Ms . Dean appeared before the Board and told them she felt the property in question was the
threshold to 600 acres of prime agriculture in the Town of Ithaca . Ms . Dean told the Board
that there are only six farmers in the Town who are the unpaid grounds keepers for the Town
of Ithaca ; they keep the Town ' s green space open . The farmers are dwindling . Ms . Dean
stated , "development is breathing down our necks' . Ms . Dean told the Board when
development pressure becomes intense farmers don 't take steps , they don 't build barns , they
don 't invest in their farms because they are waiting to see what' s going to happen . Ms . Dean
invited the Board to talk to her about how the Town is going to keep their farmland open . She
stated she felt that the multiple residence zoning would be the "death knell" for agriculture in
that area , which is 1 /3 of all the agricultural land in the Town .
Councilman Grigorov pointed out that the State Park was between the proposed
development and the farmland Ms . Dean referred to . Ms . Dean again spoke of the impacts of
development pressure on farmers' investments in their farms .
Supervisor Valentino encouraged Ms . Dean to review the changes in the proposed Zoning
Ordinance and the activities of the Ag Committee stating she thought the Town was working
very hard to try to address the pressures on agricultural land .
Councilman Niederkorn asked if Ms . Dean felt this project was going to be the beginning of
the end to the farms , or whether the project will lead to some additional development on the
west side of the park . Ms . Dean stated that as long as the Town did not allow water and
19
June 9 , 2003 TOWN BOARD MINUTES
APPROVED JULY 73 2003
sewer across the gorge that helps protect the farmland . Ms . Dean felt , however, that this
project was like opening the door. She stated she was not opposed to all development in the
area , but objected to the multiple family portion of the development .
Marty Nichols , 610 Coddington Road
Mr . Nichols appeared before the Board to voice his support for the proposed project . He felt
the land that Mr. Auble gave to the State provided a good buffer. Mr. Nichols stated he
planned on buying one of the single-family lots if the project goes through . Mr. Nichols told
the Board he worked at Ithaca College and had an idea of the student population . He stated
he was not concerned about the apartments being student occupied . Mr. Nichols told the
Board that the College Circle apartments have been built and students are not going to be
allowed to move off campus until they are seniors . There are going to be very few students
moving off campus anymore .
Supervisor Valentino closed the public hearing at 7 : 40 p . m .
In response to questions from Councilman Lesser, Mr. Auble stated that the multiple family
residences were approximately 400 feet from a State highway and he did not feel they were
in a real pristine area in terms of type of activity that goes on . Mr. Auble stated the ability to
market single-family lots was difficult because of this proximity to a State highway .
Councilman Lesser asked if Mr. Auble would agree to having the Attorney for the Town or the
Planning Board look at his lease agreement to see that they were the kind of agreement that
would be unattractive to transient residents . Mr. Auble stated that he would .
Councilman Klein stated that the Town had seen many proposals and had many discussions
about the site over the past 15 years . Mr. Klein felt the proposed project was a good
compromise and a win -win situation across the board . Mr. Klein did not see this as creating
development pressure .
Supervisor Valentino stated she had sat in on two or three of the meetings with the State
Parks and during those meetings she asked the State Park people if they were sure this was
a big enough buffer. Ms . Valentino told the Board the State told her they did not feel they
were being squeezed to take a smaller buffer. They got the size buffer that they felt
comfortable with .
Councilman Niederkorn asked Mr. Auble if it was his intention to build a home for himself
within the proposed project . He stated that it was his intention . Mr. Auble told Councilman
Niederkorn that he would be managing the property , with the help of his son .
Councilman Niederkorn asked Mr . Auble if he had given thought to the type of activity that
would go in the commercial component of the project . Mr. Auble hopes that a portion of the
commercial site would be attractive for some health care professional , and then some small
retail that would be convenience kind of services and retail for local residents .
Councilman Lesser asked if there had been discussion of the possibility of bus service to this
location . Mr . Kanter stated they had not had discussions with Tcat specifically about it .
There is a bus line that goes along Danby Road that could be accessible to this development .
20
June 9 , 2003 TOWN BOARD MINUTES
APPROVED JULY 79 2003
There have been no discussions yet about actually coming into Holly Creek Lane , although
that is the kind of thing Tcat does look at when these developments come in .
Supervisor Valentino asked if the Town had looked at the drainage and storm water
management on the site . Mr. Walker stated they had looked at the drainage ; it is not really in
the area that has been causing too many problems . Most of the flooding has been further
down on Stone Quarry . Mr. Walker did feel the project would cause problems and stated the
developer has addressed the run -off with detention ponds .
Councilwoman Russell stated she appreciated Mr. Auble ' s willingness to work with the Town ,
take the Town ' s input , and come back with a plan that is a good compromise and consistent
with comprehensive plan goals . She felt having the commercial zone will actually help to
decrease some traffic down on Stone Quarry Road . She stated she felt increasing density
really saves farmland .
Mr . Kanter stated that the Planning Board was lead agency for the project . The Planning
Board coordinated this review as lead agency and issued their negative declaration of
environmental significance , which the Board had in their packet .

Lake Source Cooling Data Sharing Group
Councilwoman Russell reported there was a recent meeting of the group . There was a
presentation made of the 2002 data from the consultant to Cornell . There were no surprises .
The data seemed to be consistent with the previous years' . Cornell will be performing a
statistical analysis on the data ; it will take them a few months to do that . At the same time
they will be entering into discussions with Department of Environmental Conservation about
changing some of the parameters of the monitoring . Councilwoman Russell stated the group
would try to interface with DEC regarding the recommendations that came from the Town ' s
consultant . Ms . Russell hoped to talk with DEC about that during the coming week .
Recreation Partnership
Supervisor Valentino stated the Partnership is going to be facing some very serious financial
difficulties . There will probably be major cuts in programs and increases in fees , trying to
make up what the Partnership is going to be losing from the County . Added to this are the
increased payments that the City wants others to make . It is going to be rough holding the

Agenda Item No. 20 — Report of Town Officials
Director of Planning
29
June 9 , 2003 TOWN BOARD MINUTES
APPROVED JULY 73 2003
Mr. Kanter brought to the Board ' s attention a proposal he had included in the packet from
Tompkins County about the possible changes in the General Municipal Law Requirements .
He asked for feedback from the Board . He will also be asking the Planning Board for their
input . Mr. Kanter felt it was basically a good proposal to simplify the County' s review
process . Probably more than anything it would affect the County' s own staff review time . He
did not feel it would affect the Town very much . The matter will be under discussion at the
next Planning Coalition meeting on Wednesday , June 25tH
Mr. Niederkorn felt the proposed changes were a step forward .
Councilman Lesser asked if anything formal had come forward from Cornell about developing
the East Shore Sailing site . What he has seen written about it seemed quite ambitious for the
piece of land . Mr. Kanter stated a sketch plan had been submitted . The sketch plan will go
to the June 17th meeting of the Planning Board . Mr. Kanter stated basically it is an inn with
about 20 rooms described as suites , 150-seat restaurant , 110 parking spaces . Mr. Kanter
stated there were good things about the proposal , but there are some major issues that are
going to have to be addressed , primarily access to the site . Traffic as well . And the railroad
track crossing right in front of the site .
Councilman Klein asked how the project stands in relation to our current and proposed
zoning . Mr. Kanter stated that without having looked too closely at the plans , the proposed
project appears to meet our current zoning , setbacks and everything else . It is a permitted
use under the current zoning . The proposed zoning would make the proposed uses special
permit uses , they are still permitted but have to meet an additional level of criteria . Regarding
setbacks , Mr. Kanter thought the restaurant would be able to be where proposed , but the
hotel would have to be setback 100 feet from the shoreline . Mr. Kanter thought it was
probably the restaurant , which sounds as though it would also have meeting rooms and
conference capabilities , that would be a much more impacting use than hotel in terms of
traffic and people . On the other hand , it is the inn / hotel aspect of it that adds somewhat to
the size and bulk of the building . He invited anyone who was interested to come look at their
sketch plan and concept drawings . The developers describe it as a " lodge style" building in
the way of Adirondack lodges , a mixture of stone and wood .
Councilwoman Grigorov questioned the impact of the proposal on the view- shed .
Councilwoman Russell reported that they had eliminated the educational use portion of the
project so that they can fit the current use regulations . Councilman Lesser stated that they
are going to keep their sailing club and sailing use on the site and asked if that wasn 't an
educational use ? Mr. Kanter stated his understanding that the marina would continue , but
not be improved . All of the on - site boat storage would be removed . The marina would be run
by some private entity . Supervisor Valentino thought the inn was also going to be a private
entity .
Councilwoman Grigorovv asked about the railroad right-of-way . Attorney Barney felt that
they would have to make a deal with the railroad , there will be some real questions there .
Supervisor Valentino commented that there are some sight problems coming out of the site .

APPROVED JULY 75 2003
Mr. Kanter told the Board he had not yet discussed with the developer the issue of the Town
park and the license that the Town has to operate the park . The Town also has the right of
first offering on the property if it is offered for sale . From what Mr. Kanter understands , this
deal that Cornell is working out is a long-term lease agreement to a development company .
Further discussion was deferred to executive session .
Councilman Klein asked that discussion of this project be put on the regular Codes and
Ordinance Committee meeting .
Councilman Burbank asked that the Board begin to think what might constitute some kind of
park project on the property , located adjacent to his own , that is in the process of being sold .
He reported that he had spoken to Jonathan about getting some Planning energy . Mr.
Burbank stated that there is a designated neighborhood park in that area in the Town ' s Open
Spaces Plan . Supervisor Valentino reported that there have been some beginning
discussions with Mr. Young regarding what his plans might be for the area . She felt it was
kind of hard to plot out where they might place the park until they have a better sense of Mr.
Young ' s intentions . Mr. Burbank wondered , from a planning perspective , what would make
sense in order to protect the existing neighborhood and anticipate what might be useful to
whatever might be built . There was discussion of the sketch plan process with the Planning
Board as the appropriate means by which to address citing a park . Mr. Burbank stated he
understood that was the history, however, he is also aware that the neighborhood is very
vulnerable . Supervisor Valentino stated she felt everyone was sensitive to trying to protect
the neighborhood and place a park in a way that would accomplish this .
Director of Building and Zoning
Mr. Frost reported that Ithaca College is voluntarily retrofitting sprinklers in their lower quad
dorms .
Human Resource Manager
Ms . Drake showed the Board a videotape made by PERMA , the Town ' s workers
comprehensive insurance carrier. It featured a segment devoted to the Town as winner of
one of their annual awards .
Agenda Item No. 21 — Review of Correspondence
Relay for Life Noise Permit
The Board reviewed the mitigation plan submitted by the applicant and authorized Ms . Hunter
to issue the noise permit . Mr. Burbank requested that the applicant be asked to patrol the
Renwick Heights neighborhood during the event to monitor the noise .
Mr. Lesser asked if it was feasible for the Town to purchase a decibel meter so that we can
enforce our noise ordinance . Mr . Frost quoted the purchase price between $300 - $ 500 .
They would need periodic calibrating . Mr . Noteboom stated the Safety Committee has
discussed purchasing a decibel meter to check out equipment noises . Mr. Frost stated they
could be used for fire safety inspections to measure whether fire alarms are the required
decibels above ambient noise . Councilman Lesser suggested contacting Ithaca College for
calibration services . Mr. Frost agreed to look into this .

TASK FORCE MEETING
WEDNESDAY, MARCH 19, 2003
Peter Kosinski welcomed the group and announced the theme of today's task force session ,
which will cover four areas of interest : the requirement for provisional ballots, the
complaint process, including a voter's bill of rights, education and training , and the bill 's ID
provisions . He then opened the pre- session comment period .
Tova Wang from the Century Foundation , which co-sponsored the Carter- Ford Election
Reform Commission , stated that she is now working with Robert Abrams and Arthur Freid
on the interpretation of this law, with the publication of their report expected in April .
Michael Burgess, with the NY Senior Action Council , asked the group to be sure that older
persons are trained in the use of any new voting system . Outreach is important for the
continued participation of this significant group of voters .
Aimee Allaud distributed a statement from the League of Women Voters, and asked to
have clarified the time table set forth initially, by Peter Kosinski . She stated that she spoke
with Senator Dodd 's office and learned that there is no deadline for the submission of a
plan , therefore she feels there is time to extend meetings prior to the drafting of a plan .
Ms . Allaud feels the interests of the committee are best served with more meetings, and
continued that she believes the Assembly intends to schedule public hearings . She urged
the group to use the League 's traditional format of consensus to arrive at a position that
truly represents what the group thinks . Ms . Allaud feels minority and majority opinions can
be recorded as part of that process . She restated her two main questions - will hearings
be scheduled and will there be more meetings?
Mel Tanzman , for Brad Williams, feels hearings will serve to enable more people from all
walks of life to be able to hear what the group is doing , and to have a voice in that
process .
Assemblyman Keith Wright again urged Peter Kosinski to have the group reflect more
diversity in its composition . He advised the group that the Assembly has scheduled two
public hearings related to HAVA, and hopes to schedule more . He distributed a notice of
the two sessions, to be held in NYC and Albany . He invited all members of the task force
to attend the sessions, to take testimony from speakers .
Senator Nick Spano advised the group that at their previous hearings on election reform ,
extensive testimony was taken . He urged the chair to work with the schedule as has been
set forth , and then pledged to work with the Assembly on future hearings .
With regard to the time frame, Mrs . Kosinski told the group that the law allows for up to
three years for implementation . The federal fiscal year drives the availability of funds, with
$ 1 . 5 billion available in this fiscal year, which ends in September of 2003 . He continued
that our time frame realizes that to access NY's portion of these dollars, we must have in
place , a plan . The statute provides for a 30-day comment period , in addition to a 45 -day
period in which the plan must be published in the Federal Register , Mr . Kosinski feels the
time frame is governed by these provisions . The bill took 18 months to be negotiated, he
pointed out, and continued that while the time frames made sense in October of 2001 ,
they no longer made sense in December of 2002, when the bill was enacted, however none
of the time frames were changed . Mr . Kosinski 's goal is to have a plan to the federal
government on time . He fully expects that during the public comment periods, there will
be hearings scheduled around the state, so that people can be heard on the task force 's
issues, as has been the case at these sessions .
Mr . Spano asked him where the group stood , with regard to time frames, and Mr . Kosinski
replied that he felt we were on schedule for a plan to published on May 1 . Mr . Spano
continued that paralysis in the process could jeopardize the receipt of federal funds, as was
the case with lost DWI monies . He offered that separate Senate hearings would not be
necessary . Mr . Wright reiterated his invitation to the group, to attend the public hearings
he announced earlier .
John Ravitz told the group that owing to his experiences as a member of the Assembly, he
understands this process well . He recently testified before the NY City Council concerning
major budget shortfalls at his Board, and advised the group that neither the City Board , nor
the State, could afford to lose out on any available funds, or jeopardize the receipt of
funds .
Clifton Perez with NYSLIC told the group he had 17 years of experience as an advocate,
and commended the Assembly for scheduling hearings . He suggested the group meet
after the hearings, to review testimony . He feels more meetings would be helpful , as he
does not feel that enough consensus or decisions have been reached . He does not want
to jeopardize the receipt of funds, nor does he want to burden the process, but feels that
the disabled community and the senior community need to be heard .
Greg Jones suggested consolidating hearings, to make the most use of a short time period .
He feels the lack of an appointed commission at the federal level might push back some
of the deadlines, to which Mr . Kosinski replied that the law still requires compliance, and
the delivering of an on -time plan . Mr . Jones agreed with the consensus concept as
explained by Ms . Allaud ,
Ms . Allaud told the group that she did not mean to imply that the suggestions she had
made should affect or delay the receipt of dollars, but that it was imperative to have more
meetings where decisions are made . She continued that she does not understand who will
draft the plan , and where the group's input will be reflected in that plan . Mr . Kosinski told
the group that the State Board staff will draft the plan , based on all of the group's
discussions at these sessions . He noted that the State Board staff is diverse, and that Tom
Wilkey, as well , would be intimately involved in the drafting of the plan .
Mr. Perez asked if the plan would be shared with the group before the public comment
period , and Mr . Kosinski replied that he expected it would , and continued that he is
confident the staff will prepare a comprehensive document. Public hearings could then be
scheduled .
Ms . Allaud commended Anna Svizzero of the State Board , for the production of quality
minutes, which reflected the group's deliberations, as did Mr . Kosinski .
There being no other comments, Mr . Kosinski continued with the meeting 's theme, and
began with a review of the identification requirements of the bill . Section A5 concerns
itself with the verification of voters, noting that the statute prefers a driver's licence as its'
ID of choice, followed by the last 4 digits of one 's social security number. If neither of
these 2 preferences are available, the state board will assign a unique ID number to a
registrant. Mr . Wright asked what definition of unique was to be used , as one's name is
not unique . Mr . Kosinski explained that a set of numbers would be made available for
assignment, to ensure compliance .
Mr . Kosinski continued with his review, moving to Section BIA, which deals with
registrations by mail , and explained that the term 'jurisdiction ' means county, for these
purposes, which limits the number of persons affected by this provision . Once the state
database is operational , and the required comparisons are implemented, the pool of
persons affected is diminished even further . Subsection 2 lists the types of valid
identification documents one might present, to satisfy this requirement, such as a valid
photo ID, utility bill , etc .
Mr . Kosinski continued with Section B, which is the fail -safe aspect of the ID requirements
of the bill , and explained that for those voting in person who needed to show ID but have
none to present at the time they vote, may cast an affidavit ballot . Mr . Wright asked to
have that process explained . Mr. Kosinski explained that we presently have affidavit
provision in our state statute, so we had a mechanism in place to deal with such
circumstances . Mr . Jones asked if, when these documents were presented in the polling
places, were they required to be kept. Mr. Kosinski replied that the law requires that they
be presented , not submitted . Mr . Ravitz asked if, in the case of absentee voters, would ID
have to be attached to a ballot . Mr . Kosinski said that was not a preferred option , thus the
need for steps to be taken to obtain required ID prior to an election .
Doug Kellner feels the law does not address what happens to an affidavit ballot in such
circumstances, however Mr . Kosinski replied that he differs with that statement, as section
a4 does state that if state law is met, the affidavit ballot shall be cast and canvassed . Mr .
Kellner continued that he feels all ballots are counted together, and suggested that ID be
provided with an absentee ballot application , and not the ballot itself, so as to address the
problem of inclusions in a ballot envelope of anything other than the ballot itself. Mr .
Kosinski offered that state law could be amended, to allow that the inclusion of an ID with
a ballot would not invalidate that ballot. Mr . Kosinski added that for absentee voters who
needed ID and did not provide it, their ballot remains valid .
Mr . Perez asked if registration by e- mail is to be considered by the State Board . Mr.
Kosinski replied that an original signature is essential to the registration process . He
continued that the issue has been discussed with DMV personnel , and we are exploring
digital and digitized signatures, however he feels this avenue for registration is not likely .
Mr . Perez continued that today's technology would allow for the feasibility of this concept,
to which Mr . Kosinski replied that discussions are ongoing, as is our research .
Mr . Kosinski continued that the ID requirements do not apply to those who provide a
driver's license number, last 4 digits of a social security number, or for whom a match can
be made . Also excepted out of this requirement are all forms submitted from NVRA sites,
those who register in person , and military voters . Tom Wilkey provided the group with the
history of the anti -fraud provision of the bill , stating that the bill intended that each
application by mail must represent a real body - a real person .
Mr . Kellner reiterated his position of ensuring that no voter loses their right to vote under
this provision . He feels boards and inspectors must understand this aspect of the voting
process, and feels that an expansive view of databases is appropriate . The term 'driver's
license' should include non - driver ID 's as well . He feels searching more databases is
helpful to the process . Mr . Kosinski stated that the bill , and we, are looking to match
records with DMV, which has matching access with social security records . Any additional
databases would also have to have access to social security records, but added that many
of these other types of databases would be covered by the exclusion of this provision for
NVRA- related applications . Mr . Wilkey added that no one discussing or debating this bill
wanted the country's 13 , 000 jurisdictions to access social security records, which was the
basis for selecting DMV to be that avenue, as they already have that access . New York's
11100 NVRA sites are covered under this provision , as those applicants are not required to
present or provide ID, as this is accomplished as part of the intake process at the
originating agency/office .
Mr . Ravitz asked if forms from a registration drive are considered in - person forms or mail
forms . Mr . Kosinski replied that they are not mail forms, thus would not require ID .
Ms . Allaud suggested that the state's database related to today's discussions, and asked
when that group will meet again . Mr . Kosinski replied that they expect to meet again in
early April . Their discussions are ongoing , and visits are planned to states with databases
in place . He assured the group that their discussions on this topic will be reflected in these
proceedings .
Mr . Jones asked if ID 's presented at NVRA sites are then forwarded to boards of elections .
Mr . Kosinski reiterated that this is not the case - no ID from these applicants is required
under this bill .
Mr . Tanzman suggested that groups be encouraged to deliver their forms from registration
drives to boards, and not mail them , so that ID would not be required for those applicants .
Mr . Kosinski assured the group that the State Board 's goal is to diminish the size of the
group of voters who will need to show ID at the polls . He continued that not all decisions
will be made prior to the production of the plan , nor was that concept anticipated . The
plan is a living document, and many issues will continue to be considered after the plan is
submitted .
The next aspect of today's session concerns provision ballots . Mr . Kosinski advised the
group that this provision exists in our state statute, but that it is known here as an affidavit
ballot . The process allows boards to verify information provided on the affidavit, and then
determine the validity of such ballots . This provision in the federal bill is found in Section
302 . He asked Ms . Svizzero to explain the process to the group, and she advised them that
regardless of the reason for one 's name failing to appear in a poll book, a voter can opt to
cast an affidavit ballot. The notice presently provided to voters explaining that option
would be amended to include the resolution of a situation involving ID . She noted that a
number of boards have made this notice to voters a document which is handed to voters,
and not just posted in polling places . All boards would now adopt this procedure, and the
bill 's requirement for toll -free access to learn if one 's ballot was or was not counted , would
be accomplished through the inclusion of the county board 's phone number in the notice .
She stated that the affidavit envelope would also be amended to reflect language
consistent with casting such a ballot for ID reasons . She further stated that contrary to
some public opinion , New York was a leader in the field of enfranchising all voters, as many
states do not have an affidavit process in their own state law . She has provided other
states with copies of our statute and current forms, and has also advised several national
groups on New York's process .
Mr . Perez asked how this procedure would be offered to disabled voters in the same
manner as to all other voters . Ms . Svizzero replied that all affidavit voters cast paper
ballots, thus all voters would access this procedure in the same way . He asked that braille
and/or large print . notices be provided , and she assured the group that such would be the
case in all such instances . Larry Adamczyk told the group that this process works quite
well , and asked about the requirement for a notice and web access and a toll free number,
so that a voter can learn of the disposition of their ballot . Ms . Svizzero replied that the
county board 's number on the notice the voter would actually have in their hand , would
accomplish this goal , and while current state law requires that boards notify voters if their
affidavit ballot was ruled invalid , board procedures and state law could be amended to
provide for a notice to be provided to each affidavit voter, advising them of the disposition
of their ballot.
Mr . Kosinski introduced the next of today's themes, which is the complaint process . He
advised the group that there is not much latitude with this process, as much of it is defined
in the bill . He asked Stanley Zalen , the Enforcement Counsel for the State Board , to review
the proposed process . Mr . Zalen distributed a draft procedure, explaining that much of it
was provided for in the bill itself. He reviewed the two methods of resolution , one being
a determination of the State Board after investigation , and the second being the proposed
referral to the State 's chief election official in cases where the board fails to act within the
time frame specified in the bill . Mr . Zalen told the group that the bill provided that if no
violation was discovered, a public determination must be made, however the law was silent
on how to proceed if a problem was discovered . He therefore suggested the language in
his draft, as a manner in which to address that type of finding .
Mr . Wilkey told the group that this provision addressed the right of private action , meaning
the ability to fix something instead of or prior to commencing a law suit, is a preferable way
to do business . In this manner, a procedure can be addressed or amended before
litigation .
Mr . Jones stated that he would like to see a reimbursement of the costs of a hearing 's
transcription, and asked that assistance be provided to anyone who wants or needs help
in making a complaint . A question was also asked about the need for a notarized
complaint, and Mr . Zalen replied that the requirement was part of the federal bill . Mr.
Adamczyk explained that from a county board perspective, there are two levels of
complaints at issue here . Mr . Kosinski stated that election day phone complaints are made
to the county board and state board , and they are dealt with immediately . Election day
resolution of election day problems is preferable, and in the voter's interest, but this does
not exclude a voter from filing a complaint pursuant to the bill 's provisions . Mr . Wilkey
agreed with Mr . Kosinski , in that no one expected that boards could not continue to resolve
initial voter complaints .
Mr . Jones reiterated his position on the expense aspect of the procedure as drafted, and
offered that in cases where a problem was discovered , the complainant's cost could be
refunded .
Mr. Kellner asked what our process would be for investigating , and Mr . Zalen replied that
it would follow the State's Board 's existing procedures for the review of complaints . Mr.
Kellner asked if such language could be added to the draft.
Mr . Kosinski introduced the training provisions of the bill, addressed in Section 254, and
distributed an outline prepared by Lee Daghlian , the State Board 's Press Officer, and Tim
Mattice , the State Board 's Training Coordinator, Mr . Kosinski indicated that substantial
funds would be expended to achieve the three major training goals of the bill and the State
Board . First, new voting systems would mean that voting equipment technicians would
have to have their training upgraded . He explained that vendors have certain
responsibilities here, under present state rules and regs, however we recognize these
vendors may be spread thin , considering the fact that all states are looking to address
voting system concerns at the same time . The State Board will work with and along side
vendors, in this area . The State Board, and our county boards, have greater
responsibilities now, and he is confident we can meet those challenges .
Second, he noted that over 60, 000 election inspectors would also have to be trained on
new procedures and new systems, and that we intend to lend professional expertise to this
effort, using HAVA money to do so .
Third, he continued, is the education of the public on any new voting system , which is key
to a successful implementation . Mr . Kosinski advised the group that we have been in
contact with other states to learn how they managed their implementation of new voting
systems . Mr . Wilkey advised the group that speakers will be making presentations at our
upcoming conference, on their successful programs for main -streaming new voting
systems . He noted that in Geogia , the state reached out to its technical schools, training
those students on the new system , and then utilizing those people in training sessions for
the public, and also in polling places on election day .
Mr . Kosinski and Mr . Wilkey indicated that a state-wide ad campaign is in the draft
proposal , along with hand -outs and mailings . Demonstrations are essential for the public
to become at ease with any new system . Some national groups may be a resource for us,
and we are looking towards university- based training programs for their professional
expertise .
Mr . Adamczyk asked what system Georgia had purchased , and Mr. Wilkey replied that they
had purchased a touch - screen machine from Diebold . Mr . Perez suggested that eliminating
the full face ballot requirements would mean we could buy cheaper machines . Helen
Kiggins replied that while the touch screen machines were cheaper, you needed more of
them to serve the voting constituency .
Mr . Jones commended Mr . Kosinski and Mr . Wilkey for including advocates for the disabled
in these sessions and in their training proposal .
Mr . Ravitz informed the group that the NYC board had developed a training video for
inspectors, but did not have the funds to widely distribute them . This video would now
have to be amended , and asked if the state would consider allowing HAVA money for this
purpose . Mr . Wilkey offered that we would consider making videos available to all
inspectors .
Mr . Kellner asked if there would be any federal money for interim training or for the state
database . Mr . Kosinski replied that budget was the topic for next week's session , and his
questions might be better addressed then , as the topic of budget deserves a full meeting .
He does, however, expect that if the federal government permits, the state will make those
dollars available . Tailoring to meet county needs is key to success, as different dynamics
are at play in the state . We need to be clear on the connections we need to make between
what counties need and how those needs relate to HAVA .
Ms . Allaud offered that there are community- based groups that may be helpful in the
state 's training initiatives, and should be incorporated into the training proposal . She
suggested that any training should have a testing component to it. Mr . Mattice informed
the group that the handout was a skeletal composition , and also, that all successful
training programs utilize testing as an integral component . Mr . Wilkey advised the group
that the State Board is fortunate to have Mr . Mattice as its' training coordinator. He brings
much experience to the table, and has presented training sessions at a number of national
election conferences . Mr . Wilkey added that other states have asked to have Mr . Mattice
make presentations to their groups, as well .
Mr . Tanzman feels that NYSLIC can offer training expertise, and echoed Ms . Allaud 's
comments on the inclusion of community- based groups . He feels groups like his can
identify accessibility and sensitivity issues . Polling place accessibility has become very
interpretative and he feels groups such as his can lend clarity and suggest solutions to
problems in this regard . Mr . Jones seconded the comments made by the previous two
speakers .
Mr . Adamczyk stated that if no money is available to county boards, it will be very difficult
to get local appropriations for these various projects . Mr. Kosinski told the group that we
are aware of such needs, and will be addressing all of those concerns . He is hopeful that
at next week's session , representatives of the budget department can help identify ways
in which these goals might be achieved . He pointed out that dollars are precious at both
the state and local level , so receiving HAVA money is key to any success we can hope to
achieve .
Mr . Kosinski distributed a draft voter's bill of rights, as prepared by Todd Valentine, the
State Board 's Special Counsel . The concept of the bill of rights, as provided for in the bill ,
is to address, for voters , what they can expect in their polling place . With regard to HAVA
complaints, Mr . Kosinski reiterated the State Board 's position , in that such complaints are
provided for, but that expeditious handling at the county level of initial complaints, is
desirable and in the voter's best interests . Mr . Kosinski and Ms . Svizzero indicated that this
bill of rights and other similar documents would be available in poster-size and in braille .
He welcomed suggestions on this draft .
Mr . Kosinski reminded the group of next week's budget theme, and opened the meeting
to task force member comments . Mr . Perez urged the state become more proactive in
determining polling place accessibility, noting that changes are needed with sites and
machines alike . Mr . Kosinski concurred , and added that we are aware of the problems with
sites, noting however that it is difficult for county boards to find sites, and for municipalities
to find them as well , in those cases where they are designated at the city and town level .
The State Board is sensitive to this issue, and we have been working towards addressing
it, as well . Mr . Tanzman offered that self- reporting on accessibility is not a good way to
ensure accessibility . His group and others like it, can be a resource for those evaluations .
Mr . Perez asked if there would be a decision on more meetings today, including any to
occur after the public hearings . Mr . Kosinski replied that there would be one more meeting
next week. The State Board staff would put out a document, and he hopes the public
hearings will provide information that will be shared . He does not want to delay the
process he has outlined .
Mr . Kellner would like the draft to be presented to the task force before it is made public,
for the group to then meet to discuss it, and for this decision to be made today . Ms . Allaud
concurs, as do Mr . Tanzman , Mr . Jones and Mr . Perez . Mr . Kosinski committed to April 30
for the document to be completed , noting that time is necessary to write the document .
Delays could potentially affect the time lines of the project.
Ms . Allaud suggested that State Board staff could come up with dates, so the group could
know what to expect in the weeks after next week's meeting . Mr . Kosinski said the end
of April is still the target, and is reluctant to squeeze a product out too quickly . Mr . Kellner
stated that Mr. Kosinski should be just as reluctant to put a document out before the group
sees it. Mr. Kosinski assured the group that we would work to get the plan to the group
before it is distributed to the public, but to commit to a time table is not fair to the staff.
Mr . Kosinski distributed a piece prepared by Robert Montjoy at Auburn University which he
feels might be beneficial for the group to review . He again told the group that all
comments at upcoming hearings would be considered , and anyone with specific questions
or wanting to meet with him or with staff members, was welcome to call .
He then opened the session to comments form the public .
Jeremy Creelan with the Brennan Center asked if these comments would be part of the
transcription , then commented that with regard to the alternate resolution proposed in the
complaint process, he has a problem with the chief election official being that entity . He
also has a problem with the complainant being required to bear the cost of expenses, and
will have his group challenge this provision in court . With regard to the ID provision , he
wants other databases to be tapped , to reduce the size of the group of voters required to
show ID . He feels the types of ID 's which can be presented should be expanded ,
indicating that in his memo he has identified 30 such items . He suggested that forms
completed at registration drives, whether mailed in or delivered, be exempt from the ID
provisions . He also suggested that a registration form be incorporated with the affidavit
envelope . Ms . Svizzero replied that this is already the case in a number of boards, and
statute presently requires that a form be sent with the advisory notice on the disposition
of an affidavit ballot.
Jerry Koenig, formerly with the Assembly Election Law Committee, offered that in database
matching issues, nuances such as those with varied names can present problems, and a
method of dealing with those types of problems should be considered .
Neal Rosenstein of NYPIRG suggested the group visit the issues raised by the speaker for
the Brennan Center . He added that he was amused with the discussion of the time frame,
and feels the group needs to have time to evaluate the plan . He would like to see more
meetings and public hearings . He feels a rushed document will lead to a faulted plan and
poor implementation . He stated that he would be making the same comments regardless
of who was chairing these sessions .
Rachel Leon with Common Cause supports all the written comments presented to date .
She told the group that she recently taught a class of 17-year-olds, and was worried about
what the ID provisions would do to this group of young voters . She urged the group to
take their responsibilities to the task force seriously, and felt that a meeting to review and
discuss the plan is essential .
Jillian Matundan seconded the comments made by Ms . Leon
meeting adjourned at 2 : 10 pm

WATER IMPROVEMENTS
ENGINEERING REPORT
JUNE 2003
DANIEL R. WALKER, P.E.
TOWN ENGINEER

C:A DOCUME- I \thunterALOCALS- 1 \1'empA2003 WESTHILLWater improvements REPORT.doc
INTRODUCTION
This Engineer' s Report provides the analysis and support for the proposed
improvements to the Town of Ithaca ' s Inlet Valley and West Hill water supply system .
The proposed project will enable the Town of Ithaca to supply Bolton Point water to
customers in the Inlet Valley and West Hill that are currently supplied by water
purchased from the City of Ithaca. Proposed improvements include an extension of a
transmission water main from South Hill to Buttermilk Falls Road, two new water
storage tanks , a pumping facility, water main extensions to the water tanks , and a control
valve facility.
1 .0 EXISTING WATER SUPPLY SYSTEM
The Trumansburg Road Service Area serves approximately 30 commercial and
250 residential customers within the Town of Ithaca and 94 residential customers within
the City of Ithaca. The system includes one 500,000-gallon storage tank with an
overflow elevation of 1039 feet located on Trumansburg Road , a pumping station located
on Oakwood Lane , a hydro pneumatic booster station on Woolf Lane , and approximately
14 miles of water main . Water is supplied to the Trumansburg Road Service Area from
the City of Ithaca Is Oakwood Lane/Cliff Park Service Area . Currently, water is pumped
from the Oakwood Lane pump station constructed in 2001 to replace the old Cliff Street
Pumping Station . The Cliff Street: pump station is being maintained as a temporary
reserve pump for emergency purposes only.
The Trumansburg Road Service Area is divided into four different pressure zones .
The majority of the service area is at a hydraulic grade line equivalent to the water
surface elevation in the Trumansburg Road Tank. Due to significant changes in elevation
within the service area, pressures range from a minimum of 17 p . s . i . to 182 p . s . i . The
Woolf Lane Hydropneumatic Booster Station maintains water pressure to Trumansburg
Road above Dubois Road , Grove Road and Woolf Lane . The Elm Street PRV maintains
Elm Street below West Haven Road at an acceptable pressure . The Brookfield Road
PRV maintains system pressure to City of Ithaca customers .

C :A DOCUME- IAthunterALOCAL.S- IATempA2003 WESTHILLWater improvements RF_PORT.doc
Current Demand in the Trumansburg Road Tank Service area averages 250 ,000
gallons per day with the following distribution :
• Hospital and Trumansburg Road Area — 200,000 GPD
• Woolf Lane Hydro-pneumatic pump station — 10,000 GPD
• West Haven Road, Mecklenburg Road, Elm Street — 10,000 GPD
• City of Ithaca Brookfield Road PRV — 30,000 GPD
The Inlet Valley Service area of the Town of Ithaca is served by connections to the City
of Ithaca gravity zone in three locations . In the Coy Glen area the principal connection is
by a twelve-inch water main connected to the Elm Street Tank and a smaller secondary
connection is located on Floral Avenue . The Town is also connected to the gravity zone
by a twelve inch main on West buttermilk Falls Road that connects to the City Elmira
Road Water main and a secondary connection on Spencer Street. Current demand in the
Inlet Valley service area is approximately 50,000 GPD .
3.0 WATER SUPPLY SYSTEM DEFICIENCIES
There are deficiencies in parts of the Trumansburg Road Tank Service Area
including low distribution pressures and minimal fire flow capacity. These areas include
the upper portions of West Haven , Mecklenburg, and Valley View Roads . Several
customers in these areas use booster pumps to maintain adequate pressures . Currently a
maximum of 800 GPM of fire flow is available in this area while maintaining a minimum
residual pressure of 20 p . s . i .
The area served by the Woolf Lane Hydropneumatic Booster Station has adequate
pressure and flow characteristics to support normal domestic demands , but the pumps in
the booster station are limited to a maximum of 112 g . p . m . which is inadequate to support
fire flow demands . Currently, to provide fire flow to this area, the Ithaca Fire
Department must connect their pumper truck to hydrants on either side of the booster
station and switch the station to bypass mode . This is a time consuming process and
Last printed 7/7/2003 5 :22 PM
C :A DOCUME- I \thunterALOCALS- I \TempA2003 WESTHILLWater improvements REPORT.doc
issues of system contamination arise because it is not possible to disinfect the pumping
system within the pumper truck adequately .
The Trumansburg Road Tank was constructed in 1932 . This tank needs to be
inspected and painted which would require the tank to be offline for an extended period
of time . Taking the tank out of service would require the continuous operation of the
Oakwood Lane Pump with a pressure control valve and blow off at the end of the main to
provide pressure and flow for domestic uses and the system would be unable to provide
adequate fire flow .
The Town currently has no Storage tank in the Inlet Valley service area.
Pressures provided by the City Elm Street Tank and Clear well are not sufficient to
maintain desirable pressure and fire flow in the upper part of the Glenside area, the
Bostwick Road/Seven Mile Drive area and at the southern end of the system on Enfield
Falls Road .
4.0 PROPOSED PROJECT SERVICE AREAS
With the addition of a new One Million Gallon storage tank located west of West
Haven Road , the existing Trumansburg Road Service Area would be modified . The new
Tank will be the primary storage tank on the West Hill storing a 3 -day supply of water. It
will serve as the principal supply to the Trumansburg Road tank and directly serve
approximately 20% of the current demand on the West Hill . The new Tank will serve
Town of Ithaca customers south of the Perry Farm located at Bundy and Trumansburg
Roads . Town of Ithaca customers on Trumansburg Road currently fed by the Oakwood
Lane Tank will remain on that grid . The Oakwood Lane Pump station will be maintained
as backup supply for the area.
The Woolf Lane Service Area will remain unchanged by the Town of Ithaca
project and continue to operate as it does today, until the Town of Ulysses water
improvement project is completed. The Town of Ulysses is planning to construct a new
pump station on Woolf Lane that will supply water to a new water District in the Town of
Ulysses . The Improvements include a 200 ,000 gallon water storage tank that will located
at an elevation that will provide service to Town of Ithaca customers on Woolf Lane and
4 Last printed 7/7/2003 522 PM
C:ADOCUME- I \[hunter\LOCALS- I \TempA2003 WE_STHILLWaterimprovements REPORT.doc
on Trumansburg Road North of Dubois Road . The Town of Ulysses and the Town of
Ithaca will enter into a water supply agreement to allow Ithaca to supply water to Ulysses
with the Town of Ithaca owning and operating the new Woolf Lane Pump Station and the
Town of Ulysses providing the storage capacity . This alternative will provide an
adequate supply of water for both domestic use and to support fire flow demands in this
area .
5 .0 WATER DEMAND
Current average daily demands for Town of Ithaca customers were obtained from
S . C . L. I. W . C . ' s 1999 and 2000 metered consumption records . City of Ithaca customers
were assumed to have an average consumption of 300 g . p . d . In the past ten years the
Town of Ithaca has experienced a growth rate of approximately I % per year. By year
2030 this would represent a demand increase of 25 % to 30% . Based on this , a 40%
increase in system capacity was used for design purposes to be conservative . Additional
considerations have been made should the Town of Ulysses construct a new water supply
system fed from the Trumansburg Road Service Area. Estimated demands for the Town
of Ulysses have been provided in a study by Barton & Loguidice, P. C. , Consulting
Engineers .
Design Criteria ,
The design demands for the new system are as follows :
Trumansburg Tank Area: 250000gals/day Plus 100,000 gals/day to Ulysses for a total
demand of 350,000 gals/day
West Hill : Linderman Creek —West Haven area has a demand of 100 ,000 gals/day
Inlet Valley 150 ,000 gals/day Plus a potential demand of 100,000 gals/day to Newfield for a
total demand of 250,000 gals/day
The total estimated potential demand for inlet valley and the west hill is 700 ,000
gals/day.

6.0 PROPOSED WATER SYSTEM IMPROVEMENTS
Transmission Main Extension :
A new 12" diameter 6 , 350 foot long Transmission line would be constructed from
South Hill to the Inlet Valley. The Main would connect to the existing 8 " line at
Coddington-Danby Rd intersections . The main would run downhill through the Emerson
Electric property to the Railroad Bed, along the railroad bed to an existing 8" line by
Buttermilk Falls State Park ( See Map 2 ) . Easements from Emerson Electric and The State
Park system (which owns railroad bed from Stone Quarry to Buttermilk Falls State Park) will
need to be obtained . Because of the railroad bed being having a base of cinders that are
caustic to iron piping this section would need to be wrapped in plastic . A control valve will
be place on the new line near Stone Quarry Road . This valve will control the level of a new
200,000-gallon tank on Bostwick Road .
Bostwick Road Tank :
A new 200,000-gallon Tank would be placed on Bostwick Road . The location of this
tank would be 1200 feet west of the Bostwick Road and Seven Mile Drive intersection (see
map 3 ) . A new 8 -inch main would run from the existing 8 " main at the Bostwick Road and
Seven Mile Drive intersection to the Tank. This tank would stabilize pressures in the ,Inlet
Valley area .
Coy Glen Pump Station .
To bring the water from Inlet Valley to the new West Hill Tank a pump station is
needed in the Coy Glen area. Five different locations have been evaluated for the pump
station :
Site 1 is located 150 feet north on Coy Glen Rd from it ' s intersection with Rte 13A .
This site is close to the road and adjacent to the Coy Glen natural area and would require
subdividing a small parcel of a residential lot located on Hackberry Lane . The principal
benefit is adjacency to the existing water main and being able to install the new water main
to the west hill in the existing road R . O . W . Disadvantages are the visibility of the site and

proximity to the natural area. This site would require approximately 2, 700 feet of water
main .
Site 2 is located in a wooded area West of Rte 13a approximately two hundred feet
south of Coy Glen Road. This property is owned by the Calvary cemetery and may require
special approval because of the cemetery use . The advantage is a location at an acceptable
elevation and a proximity to the existing water main . New water main could also be
constructed within the highway R. O . W . This parcel would also require a subdivision of land
from the cemetery. This alternative requires construction of 3 , 100 feet of water main .
Site 3 is located on the East Side of Rte . 13a adjacent to the south bank of Coy Glen
Creek. This site is partially on NYS R . O .W . and partially on an access road to the lands
adjacent to the flood control facilities on Cayuga Inlet. The primary advantage for this site is
location in a disturbed area and distance from the Coy Glen residential area. This location
would require installation of two 12" water main crossings of a state road and a creek
crossing . This alternative requires the construction of 3 , 300 feet of water main along with
two highway crossings .
Site 4 is located North of the Glenside area adjacent to the existing water main from
the Elm Street tank. This site would require subdivision of a large parcel for the tank site and
construction of an access roadway from Glen Side Road . An advantage of this site is less
visibility and construction of less pipeline in the roadway . This site would require the
construction of approximately 2 , 200 feet of water main .
Site 5 is located on Coy Glen Road approximately 600 feet above Glenside Road
A new 12-inch main will be placed alone Coy Glen Rd to West Haven Rd to connect
to an existing 12" main crossing West Haven Road .
New West Hill Tank :
The New 1 ,000,000-gallon tank , that was part of the original West Hill water plan to
be a sister tank for the Trumansburg Road tank, would be built approximately 1200 feet west
of Westhaven Rd. A new 12 " line would be run from the existing 12" water main on
Westhaven Rd to the Tank Site.
The new storage tank will have an overflow elevation of 1080 feet and a base
elevation of 1050 feet. Static pressures in the proposed Mecklenburg Road/Westhaven

Southern Cayuga Lake Intermunicipal Water Commission
Office and Work Space Addition And Renovation Project
The Southern Cayuga Lake Intermunicipal Water Commission (Commission ) is
proposing to construct a 7616 square foot, two story office and work space addition on the east
end of its water treatment facility at 1402 East Shore Drive in the Village of Lansing and
renovate 4332 square feet of existing office space . The addition will provide for increased office
space for the Commission ' s Administration and Distribution personnel and provide workshops
for the Commission ' s electrical and mechanical technicians and production department
personnel . The project will also make the facility handicap accessible . In addition to office
space and workshops , the project includes an archive room for long term storage of the
Commission ' s files and documents , an expansion of the facilities laboratory to meet increased
water quality monitoring requirements , the addition of a fire suppression system to the new and
renovated areas of the facility, and will bring the HVAC systems into compliance with current
building codes . The north entrance to the facility will be upgrade and four additional parking
spaces to accommodate the public will be constructed .
The project is being designed by Hunt Engineers and Architects , and their most recent
total cost estimate for the project is $2 , 300,000 . 00.
Southern Cayuga Lake Intermunicipal Water Commission
Office and Work Space Addition and Renovation Project
The original construction plans for the facility included an office wing to the east of the
treatment plant. When the low bid came in $ 1 ,000,000 over budget, the office wing was
eliminated from the project.
The original office wing was just for plant operators—six at the most.
The Commission ' s treatment facility has had to accommodate administration and distribution
department personnel in addition to plant operators .
Over the years , staff offices have been carved out of space originally designed for water
treatment functions . Due to increases in responsibilities and the expansion of the municipalities '
water systems , Commission staff now numbers 19 , and office and work space is very cramped.
There is one restroom for 19 employees and the facility is not handicap accessible .
The office addition will help separate office areas from treatment areas and will give space back
for treatment functions . New EPA regulations will require the Commission to make changes in
treatment and space needs to be freed up for this . It is less costly to build office space than space
for treatment functions .
The renovations will include an office for the laboratory and a separate room for microbiological
analyses . EPA regulations have increased the amount of laboratory testing required and the
office will provide space for the laboratory computers and files that is isolated from the moist
environment of the main laboratory .
The addition includes space for an electronic/electrical workshop and a mechanical workshop .
Current space for maintenance of plant and water system equipment is almost non-existent.
The addition includes an archive room for storage of the Commission ' s files and documents .
Currently , these files are stored in the distribution department garage along with distribution
system materials .
The addition and renovations will bring the office area HVAC systems up to code . The original
system has been supplemented with electric baseboard heat for many of the office areas and
office air conditioning is accomplished with several through the wall units .
A fire suppression system and alarms will be installed in the office addition and the office areas
that will be renovated .
In 1993 , the Commission and member municipalities approved flattening the water rate and
raised the rate for water to $2 . 50/ 1000 gallons to build up a fund balance to fund capital projects .
The office addition was one of the capital projects identified to be funded from this .
The rate was raised to $2 . 55/ 1000 gallons in 1996 and remained there until 1999 when the rate
was lowered to $2 .04/ 1000 gallons . The rate was reduced to $ 1 .79/ 1000 gallons in 2000 .
In 1996, the Commission ' s capital projects were put on hold pending negotiations with the City
of Ithaca on becoming a partner in the Commission . The thought was to include many of the
capital projects , such as the office addition , with the treatment facility expansion that would be
required to supply the City of Ithaca with water. The reason the water rates were lowered
starting in 1999 was that the fund balance was growing and the capital projects were on hold .
With negotiations with the City being at a standstill for the past two years , the Commission
determined that it could no longer delay its capital improvement program . Emergency backup
generators were installed at the Commission ' s raw water pump station and treatment facility in
2002 , and the design is nearly complete for a Commission storage tank on East Hill and an
associated transmission main extension to the tank.
Approximately $ 1 , 300,000 of project funding would come from the fund balance and $ 1 ,000,000
would be bonded for 20 years . Repaying the bond would raise the water rate approximately 6 %
to 7 % . The current rate is $ 1 . 79/ 1000 gallons . A 7 % increase would raise the rate $0 . 125/ 1000
gallons . A rate increase may not be necessary if the Town of Ithaca completes an extension of
the Commission ' s transmission system to Inlet Valley.

The project is on an eligibility list for Environmental Facility Corporation financing at
50% reduced interest plus administrative fees . A representative borrowing rate given
present long term rates around 5 % would be an effective rate of 2 . 8% on a 20 year bond
payment schedule. Since the project will be constructed during 2003 , permanent
financing should not be anticipated before early 2004.

TOWN OF ITHACA
PLANNING DEPARTMENT MEMORANDUM
TO : TOWN OF ITHACA TOWN BOARD
FROM : JONATHAN KANTER, DIRECTOR OF PLANNING r�
RE : HOLLY CREEK REZONING — JUNE 9T11 PUBLIC HEARING
DATE : JUNE 2 , 2003
The June 9th Town Board meeting agenda includes a public hearing regarding and consideration
of adoption of a local law to rezone portions of the David Auble premises at the corner of West
King Road and Danby Road in connection with the Holly Creek Subdivision and related site
development. The Planning Board, as lead agency, approved a negative declaration of
environmental significance at their May 6`h meeting and granted Preliminary Subdivision
Approval , Preliminary Site Plan Approval , and issued an affirmative recommendation to the
Town Board regarding the Zoning Change at their May 201h meeting for the proposed 8 -lot
subdivision and associated development located at the intersection of West King Road and
Danby Road, Town of Ithaca Tax Parcel No . ' s 37 - 1 - 17 . 1 and 37- 1 - 18 , Multiple Residence and
Business Districts "C" and "D". The proposal is to subdivide the 15 +/- acre parcel into 5 lots
for single-family residences (to be zoned R- 30 Residence) , two lots totaling 4 . 63 +/- acres for 20
apartment units in four buildings (to be zoned Multiple Residence) , and reserve the remaining
5 . 01 +/- acre lot along Danby Road for future commercial development (to be zoned Business
"C" in its entirety) . David C . Auble , Owner/Applicant; Gary L . Wood, P . E. and Brian M .
Klumpp, L . S . , Agents .
Zoning Changes : The proposed zoning changes were recommended to the Town Board by the
Planning Board as being appropriate and consistent with the recommendations of the
Comprehensive Plan for "Suburban Residential" development, and are also consistent with the
proposed revised Zoning Map under consideration by the Town Board (with some minor
modifications) . The site is currently zoned Business "C " and "D " and MR Multiple Residence .
The proposed development would consist of 20 apartment units and 5 single-family homes . The
proposed zoning changes are necessary primarily because the Business Districts in the Town of
Ithaca Zoning Ordinance do not currently allow residential uses . The 5 single-family lots (Lots 1
— 5 ) will be rezoned from Business "C" and MR Multiple Residence to R- 30 Residence . This is
a down zoning resulting in less density than would be permitted under current zoning. Lots 6
and 7 proposed for 20 apartments will be rezoned from Business "C" to MR Multiple Residence,
also considered a down zoning resulting in less overall density than allowed in the Business
zone . The small corner of Business "D" would be rezoned to Business "C", deleting the
possibility of adding another gas station or auto repair shop at this intersection. Adjacent Tax
Parcel No . 37- 1 - 18 (0 . 17 acres - also owned by the applicant) would be rezoned from MR
Multiple Residence to Business "C" and consolidated with Lot 8 . Lot 8 (already mostly zoned
Business "C ") would be reserved for future commercial development .
Another relevant subject that was discussed at the Planning Board meetings is that the density
and number of units in the proposed Multiple Residence (MR) zone is well below that permitted
in the MR zone . The current density permitted in the MR zone is a maximum of 17 .4 dwelling
units per acre, which on the 3 . 74 +/- acres designated for apartments (not including the storm
water management areas on the west side of Holly Creek Lane) could result in a theoretical
potential of up to 65 dwelling units . The actual number of apartments proposed is 20 units,
which results in a density of 5 . 3 dwelling units per acre . [Note : Even the reduced density factor
in the proposed, revised Zoning Ordinance (draft Jan . 15 , 2003 ) for the MR zone would be a
maximum of 12 . 4 +/- dwelling units per acre . ]
Occupancy of Apartments : An issue that was discussed at the Planning Board meetings focused
on who would occupy the apartment units . Residents in the neighborhood and some Planning
Board members expressed initial concern that the apartment units would be rented to students
because of the proximity of the site to Ithaca College . However, revised floor plans submitted to
the Planning Board show that each apartment unit will include two bedrooms (a master bedroom
on the first floor and a second bedroom on the second floor), plus a "loft" on the second floor.
The loft has a rail wall overlooking the downstairs living room and a rail wall along the stairway
(and so is not a fully enclosed room) with no closet. The applicant indicates that the intended
market population for these apartments is ( 1 ) empty-nesters, in which case the loft could be used
as a play area/television room or guest room and (2) two single or married working people , in
which case the loft could be used as an office area.
• number of residents near the site spoke against the rezoning at the Planning Board meetings .
• petition was submitted to the Planning Board opposing the rezoning, and numerous letters and
emails were sent to the Planning Board, mostly containing negative comments pertaining to the
apartment component of the Holly Creek project . An ironic aspect of this is that 1 . 7 acres of the
Auble site is currently zoned MR Multiple Residence adjacent to West King Road, and by right,
the developer could theoretically build up to 29 apartment units (at the maximum MR density of
17 . 4 dwelling units per acre) in the existing MR zoned portion of the site . Of course, that would
be difficult given the configuration of that MR portion. The point was made at the Planning
Board meetings, however, that the Holly Creek proposal is basically shifting the currently
permitted MR portion to a better, more buffered part of the site, significantly reducing the
amount of commercial development potential on the remaining site . It also adds a logical
transition to single-family homes adjacent to the State Park. This rezoning proposal is very
similar to and consistent with the proposal by the Codes and Ordinances Committee on the
proposed, revised Zoning Map . The petition, letters and emails submitted to the Planning Board
are available in the Planning Department files if any Board members are interested in reviewing
them , but it was felt that this would be too much to include in the Town Board packets . The
Planning Board meeting minutes are also available for anyone who wants to review these .
Please contact Sandy Polce (273 - 1747) to review these materials .
Enclosed for the Board ' s review and information are the following : the negative declaration of
environmental significance issued by the Planning Board (5/6/03 ) , sections excerpted from the
2
Engineer ' s Report for the Holly Creek Subdivision (3/ 14/03 ) , the Planning Board ' s resolution of
preliminary approval including a recommendation to the Town Board to approve the rezoning, a
draft local law regarding the proposed rezoning, a survey map showing the proposed rezoning
(5/2/03 ) , and a letter from the County Planning Department indicating that the proposed rezoning
will not have any inter-community or county-wide impacts. John Barney has also provided a
resolution for the Board ' s consideration regarding adoption of the local law to rezone the Auble
premises . Also included as attachments to the next agenda item (regarding acceptance of the
location of roads and utilities in the Holly Creek Subdivision) are preliminary plans for the Holly
Creek Subdivision, entitled " Site Utilities ," prepared by Gary L . Wood, P . E . and Reagan Land
Surveying and dated March 14, 2003 (revised April 2 , 2003 ) and " Site Plan," prepared by Gary
L . Wood , P . E . and Reagan Land Surveying, revised May 14 , 2003 — please refer to these as well .
Please let me know if you have any questions regarding any aspects of the above , or regarding
any of the enclosed materials .

new or extended district elect, water may be supplied to such districts from or through
Projects I and 11 provided that the Commission has available water supply capacity to serve
such districts , and provided, however, that said districts execute a document in form
satisfactory to the Commission and counsel to the Commission pursuant to which such
district
(a) describes the area of the district or extension to be served ;
(b) agrees to pay (as part of the overall collections by Dryden or Lansing Town or
directly to the Commission) its proportionate share of the costs of operation and
maintenance and principal and interest in accordance with the formulae or other
direction as then in effect with respect to all of the member municipalities of the

governing entity , shall be delivered to the Chairperson of the Commission with copies to the
Town and/or Village Clerks of each of the five member Municipalities . The Chairperson of
the Commission shall submit the certificate to the next regularly scheduled meeting of the
Commission at which , if the Commission has adequate water supply capacity , the
Commission shall vote on supplying water to such district . If approved, the date of such
approval (or such later date as may be agreed to by the district and the Commission) shall be
the date on which the new district shall be considered to be covered by the Intermunicipal
Agreement . From such date on , the district shall be subject to the Intermunicipal Agreement
terms and subject to the rules , regulations and laws governing the Commission and the
supplying of water by the Commission . "
8 . Paragraph 16 of the Intermunicipal Agreement is amended to read as follows :
16 . Additional Parties and Provision of Emergency Water. The parties are aware of
the desires of other entities , including the City of Ithaca and Cornell University , to provide
for an alternate source of water and of the possible interest of the other entities to become a
part of Project I and Project 11. Should the City of Ithaca, Cornell University , or any other
entity , evidence in a formal manner interest in becoming a party to this agreement, the parties
hereto agree to consider such interest and possibly include such entity as a party to this
agreement if all of the parties , including the existing parties to this agreement and the entity
seeking to become a party , are able to reach agreement on a basis for such entity to become a
party hereto . Such consideration may include, but is not limited to , an appropriate share
payable by such entity for the costs of construction , operation, maintenance, and financing ,
whether previously or presently incurred, the legality of entering into an agreement with such
entity , and the impact the inclusion of such additional entity would have upon the ability of
the Commission to act as a municipality , including the ability to issue bonds that are free
from income taxation . The inclusion of such additional entity , if approved by all parties ,
shall be evidenced by the execution of a supplemental agreement modifying such provisions
of this agreement as may be necessary to reflect the participation of such additional entity .
Nothing herein is intended to exclude any other entity from becoming a participant in the
water supply system , provided the member Municipalities all concur in such participation .
Nothing herein is intended to preclude water being supplied to any other municipality or
entity , such as the City of Ithaca or Cornell University , on an emergency basis upon terms
and conditions ( including payment) as may be agreed upon between the receiving entity , the
Commission , and any Municipality through which water may flow from the Commission
facilities to the water lines of the receiving entity , provided that at such times the
Commission has adequate capacity to provide such water. Further, nothing herein is
intended to preclude the exchange of water services in relatively small areas as is presently
(January 1 , 2003) occurring between the City , the Commission , Cornell University , and
Ithaca.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties have executed this amendatory agreement as of the
day and year above written .

Municipal Law Sections 239 —1 , -m, and —n: The County Planning Department has proposed
some changes in their review of municipal planning and zoning actions under Section 239 of the

municipalities to enter into agreements to exclude certain actions from the mandatory referral
process that would be pre-determined to have no negative inter-community or county-wide
impacts . At the April 30`h meeting of the MOA Planning Coalition, the County Planning
Commissioner distributed a proposed draft of an inter-governmental agreement that would
exclude listed actions from County review . These would be actions such as lot frontage, width,
depth or setback variances , approvals of accessory uses or home occupations , residential
subdivisions under 5 lots , etc . , and requested that municipal members take the proposal back to
their municipalities for feedback . A copy of the draft agreement is attached to this report.
Perhaps Town Board members could review the draft agreement, and provide comments
at the June 91h Town Board meeting.

no recommendation made for change in process or Personal Protective
Equipment ( PPE . ) There was discussion about the June renewal of the workers '
compensation billing and the Town ' s experience modification . The committee
also discussed PPE evaluation forms for jobs and that it would be better if that
was listed on the work order completed by the Working Supervisor. The
committee reviewed the need for first aid kits in vehicles and made a
recommendation as to what vehicles need what type of first aid kits . The
organization of how the Right to Know MSDS books was discussed . The
outcome was that as Right to Know training is done there will be more emphasis
put on how to look items up in the book .

Agenda Item #2 : Review of minutes of January 15 , 2003 meeting :
Changes as requested by Larry Parlett (attached ) .
Agenda Item #3 : Persons to be heard :
None .
Agenda Item #4 : Employee Assistance Program :
Judy explained that she and Larry Parlett have emailed each other back
and forth on this issue since he had some strong thoughts about the Family &
Children ' s Service and was unable to attend this meeting .
Judy stated that there were several discussions back and forth between
herself, Larry Parlett and Karen Fritz ( Employee Assistance Program , Family &
Children ' s Service ) . There was some concern on Larry' s part about F& C Service
being an "arm " of Tompkins County DSS , Child and Adult Protective Services .
Judy explained they are a mandatory reporter just like a teacher, daycare
provider, etc . If they suspect child abuse there is a state toll free number they
call and then the state calls the local DSS to investigate . It is Judy' s
understanding that the child isn 't always immediately removed from the home ,
usually an evaluation is done . Unless , it is blatantly obvious that there has been
abuse .
Judy went on to explain that the County does contract with F&C Services
for some state mandated programs ; Alternatives to Incarceration (for children
who may be involved in drugs or other criminal activity) , Parent/Child Program

FINAL FINAL FINAL
Judy thinks Larry feels a little more comfortable with the program , which is
important because he will be the person recommending people at Bolton Point to
EAP . It won 't work if he ' s not comfortable with the program .
Judy pointed out that the EAP through F &C Service is utilized by
Tompkins County, City of Ithaca , Cornell University and Borg Warner. Cathy
Valentino added that these places probably would not continue contracting with
F& C if there were problems .
The cost of the Employee Assistance Program is $ 1 . 70/ mth per employee
or: $ 1 , 060 . 80/year for the Town ( 52 employees ) , $387 . 60/year for Bolton Point
( 19 employees ) . Judy went on to explain that this program is completely
confidential and the only information the Town will receive is how many hours
used as a total so we can determine if this is a valued service . The only time the
Town would receive any other information is if they feel the person is a danger to
himself or herself or may enter the workplace with violent intentions .
Dani Holford asked if Larry Parlett' s original misgivings had to do with
Child Protective Services being involved through this program . Cathy stated that
the concern was children being taken out of the parent' s custody , which would
happen in a really violent situation . Judy feels that if this does happen then this
is good for the child . She has a hard time seeing this as a bad thing . Paul
Tunison agrees , but if we do go through with this , we owe it to the employees to
let them know that this can happen . Judy explained that if we opt to do this they
would request to have a meeting with the employees to go over the program .
They would also want to meet with the supervisors because they also provide
service to them if they are dealing with an issue with an employee . Bill Lesser
suggested something along the following ; these are purely confidential services
except under specific circumstances , such as , if there is reasonable belief a child
is being abused , that they are mandated to report .
Paul Tunison asked if the school districts use this service for counseling in
the instance of a tragic death of a student . Judy responded that they do .
Bill Lesser pointed out that this is also a great community service — not
only in helping our employees — but also helping to maintain a service here .
Judy explained that at this time F& C Service is not a Blue PPO provider
but they expect to be by the middle of the year. Right now , if a person uses their
3 visits and need more , they are referred on to a participating provider.
The Personnel Committee agrees to send a recommendation to the Town
Board and Commission for approval to contract for these services .

FINAL FINAL FINAL
Agenda Item #5 : AFLAC :
A representative from AFLAC has contacted Judy with 3 plans they are
offering . These are employee only plans — no participation by the Town . The
plans require a minimum of 3 contracts per plan . The 3 plans are ; Personal
Accident Expense Plan , Personal Lifestyle Protector Cancer Plan and Personal
Short-Term Disability Income . Judy will put some basic information together to
send out to the employees to see if there is any interest .
Agenda #6 : Retirement Costs :
Judy explained that all municipalities costs for NYS & LRS are
skyrocketing . We had been paying around 1 or 2 percent of employee' s gross
wages . Last year we paid around $35 , 000 . 00 , including Bolton Point. This year
we will be paying around $232 , 000 . 00 ( in December) . It doesn 't sound like this
will be an ongoing thing year after year. Cathy added that the State is thinking
about averaging the payment out over a 5-year period , but a decision has not
been made . Dani asked if all the retiree ' s were getting a big jump in pay. No .
Judy' s understanding is that the retirement fund is quite well . Depending on
whether the stock market is doing good or bad is factored into the percentage the
employer has to pay . Cathy believes that the zero percent we had to pay for the
last 3 years is gone .
Don Ten Kate asked if they would start taking the 3 % again from the
people who were able to stop paying after 10 years . Judy responded that it
would take legislation to start that up again . Don added that in the past they just
started a new tier. Cathy agreed that Tier 5 might be coming . Judy emphasized
that people should not be concerned that the pension fund is going to go
bankrupt , the system is still quite healthy . Cathy stated that the municipalities
that have reasonably good fund balances (like the Town ) it will be tough , but we' ll
get through it . The ones without fund balances are really going to be hard hit .
Agenda #7 : Others :
Judy Drake updated the committee on the distribution and presentation of
the " Employee Handbook" . Town Hall has received their handbooks and a
presentation . Highway will receive theirs when the locker room is complete , so
they will have someplace to put them . When Highway employees receive their
handbooks Judy will do a presentation for them .
Paul Tunison added that Bolton Point is in the process of distributing their
handbooks . There is an all hand staff meeting on April 2nd to review the
handbook. Judy offered to do a Power Point Presentation for Bolton Point during
their review meeting .

FINAL FINAL FINAL
Judy stated that there were a couple of interesting things that came up
during her presentation at Town Hall . First , has to do with FMLA ( Family Medical
Leave Act ) . You can take an intermittent leave and you ' re allowed a total of 12
weeks a year. What she needs to find out is if you only need to take an hour off
in one week , does that count as an hour or a week toward those 12 weeks .
Second , has to do with the requirement of a Dr. ' s note if you are out 3 or more
consecutive days . Judy stated that this is not something that she will severely
police , but it helps to make sure that people are calling in to their supervisor and
also gives her a heads up that this may be heading towards a disability claim .
Judy also made a clarification in regards to the percentage amount a
retiree has to pay towards Health Insurance . The manual does not specifically
state that it is service time with the Town or service time in the Retirement
Service . It is service time with the Town , not in the Retirement System ,
Bill Lesser, making reference to the Drug Policy, asked if we provide any
training or assistance to supervisors in relation to the part that reads , "The
employee ' s supervisor can also prevent an employee from performing a safety
sensitive activity if, based on the employee ' s speech , statements , behavior,
conduct or appearance , the supervisor determined he/she appears to be a safety
threat to him/herself or others" . He believes this could be construed as a very
serious matter if you go up to some one and say, "you don 't look all right to me" .
Judy said that under the CDL there is some drug and alcohol training that
everyone has to go through that tells you what to look for. It hasn 't been a
problem up to this point , but maybe we should look into additional training .

RE : January 15 , 2003 Personnel Committee Meeting Minutes
Needed Addition/Change for page 2, paragraph 2
Presently it states : "Larry Parlett distributed a Physician ' s Statement form he found on
the New York State Department of Motor Vehicles website (attached) . The form is used
when a person applies for a license and has indicated on the application that they have
been or are being treated for a medical condition. "
Please change to : "Larry Parlett distributed an excerpt summarizing case law (Roe v .
Cheyenne Mountain Conference Resort, CA 10 , No . 96- 1086, 1997) , (attached) in which
both a district court and a court of appeals agreed that any policy of an employer which
requires employees to reveal the prescription drugs they use could force them (the
employee) to disclose a disability, in violation of the ADA ' s prohibition against
employers inquiring whether an employee has a disability. In essence, a blanket policy
requiring employees to report all medications is a violation of the Americans with
Disabilities Act. He noted that the excerpt did state however that employers may inquire
about what medication employees in safety-sensitive jobs are taking and how that
medication may affect their work performance . This information was found on
www. busin.ess . com (a business search engine on the internet)
Mr. Parlett noted that if driving vehicles were considered safety-sensitive, supervisors
probably are not qualified to make the decision whether a particular prescription
medication, or combination of medications would impair an employees driving ability.
Mr. Parlett noted that on the back of his handout was a New York State Department of
Motor Vehicles form "Physician ' s Statement, MV 80" used by a physician to state that a
given treatment or medication would not impair the individual from driving . "
Needed Addition/Change for page 3 , paragraph 3
Presently it states : Larry Parlett pointed out the Family and Children ' s Services is an
arm of the Child and Adult Protective Service . They can use their discretion to report
you to these agencies if they believe you are not able/stable to take care of your children .
Please change to : Larry Parlett pointed out that the Family and Children ' s Services is
the local arm of Child and Adult Protective Services . Discussions with any of their staff
may result in the decision being made for our employees dependents to be taken into their
custody for up to 24 hours at which time a Judge will decide if the dependents are
returned to the employee or turned over to the State of New York ' s foster care program . "
There was some discussion . . . . .
