Tim Joseph appeared before the Board on behalf of the Tompkins County Legislature .
Mr. Joseph reported that some of the people from Pushback met with Senator Seward .

share of Medicaid was the obvious , easiest , most doable solution to the problem of the
impact of Medicaid on local . governments . _
Mr. Joseph reported the County made a new proposal to the State CSEA union regarding

ahead with a public authority to run Tcat .
Regarding the County and Town discussions regarding working together to save money , Mr.

Approved June 7, 2004
The Board discussed Mike Koplin ka- Leahr' s funding raising efforts and Supervisor Valentino
invited anyone who wished to sponsor his swim of the length of Cayuga Lake to contact him .
Councilman Lesser reported having read of plans by the County and the City of purchasing
and investing in renewable energy . He asked Mr. . Joseph if there was any consideration of •
putting some portion of that money into energy conservation ; things such as helping people
replace windows , buy new refrigerators . If the real issue iS conserving energy and reducing
emissions , conservation often yields the highest return . Mr. Joseph stated that had not been
discussed but stated it was a good point .
Persons to be Heard
Fay Gougakis , 406 Utica Street, Ithaca
Faye told the Board she wanted to review five concerns with the Board . They were as
follows :
1 . The Lake Source Cooling Monitoring System . Ms . Gougakis asked if Cornell had
established monitoring at the output as recommended by the environmental consultant .
2 . Ms . Gougakis stated she had received the final Environmental Impact Statement for
Cornell Veterinary School ' s incinerator. She asked if the town had a copy . Mr. Kanter
stated that we did . Ms . Gougakis asked that the Town let the media know that the
document was available for public review .
3 . Ms . Gougakis asked for the Town ' s support in asking the County Library to ban cell
phone use inside the facility .
4 . Ms . Gougakis told the Board she appreciated their passing the Personal Watercraft
Ordinance , but told the Board she did not feel they were strong enough laws . She
hoped the current legislation was the beginning of more restrictive laws .
5 . Ms . Gougakis expressed concern about speeding in the City . The Board told her that
they did not have jurisdiction over speeding in the City .
Agenda Item No . 28 — Consider Authorization to Amend the Village of Cayuga Heights
Fire Contract
George Tamborell , Cayuga Heights Fire Chief , appeared before the Board to request they
authorize an amendment to the Village of Cayuga Heights Fire contract . The amendment
would allow them to replace a ladder truck . Chief Tamborell told the Board that Ladder Truck
# 12 is about 12 years old and is costing the department an exhorbitnat amount of money in
repairs . The last figure that Mr. Tamborell calculated was in excess of $60 , 000 in repairs •
since 1999 . Mr. Tamborell reported having received a price of about $ 125 , 000 for a trade - in
which takes the price of the truck from about $ 510 , 000 to $395 , 000 . Mr. Tamborell told the
Board he thought , with the interest rates what they are now and in light of the amount of
money they were paying for repairs , it makes sense to replace the truck . Some of the money
would come from the Town of Ithaca and require and amendment to the existing fire contract .

Environmental Assessment Form , nor an Environmental Impact Statement will be required .

SECONDED : Councilman Engman •
VOTE : Supervisor Valentino , aye ; Councilwoman Gittelman , aye ; Councilman Lesser, aye ;
Councilman Stein , aye ; Councilman Burbank , aye ; Councilman Engman , aye .
Councilman Stein felt the fee schedule was quite regressive , stating that if you look at the
smallest value properties it is something like 1 % of the bottom of the range , if you look at the
highest value it is something like a tenth of a percent . He stated he was not comfortable with
taxes that have this regressive quality to them . Councilman Stein also wondered if a limit
could be set for small jobs under which there would be no cost . Supervisor Valentino told
him the proposed fee structure represents actual costs . Mr. Kanter stated that his staff had
looked carefully at the time spent on various applications and followed the courts reasoning
that fees should reflect average costs of staff time . Councilman Stein asked if it would be
lawful for the Town to have a fees schedule that was 1 % of the cost of the project or 1/2 % of
the cost of the project . Attorney Brock explained that the Town cannot charge more than a
reasonable amount meaning and tying the fees to project costs could mean that you would
run into trouble on the higher end where people would be paying a lot more than they should .
The problem with the prior system where staff kept detailed records of their time and the
Town charged back their actual time to applicants is that the courts have looked at similar
systems and said they are too open ended because there is no control on how much time
municipal personnel spent . What has been done is the Town has surveyed many other
municipal fee structures , the Town has looked back over history at what they have charged ,
and they have come up with the proposed schedule which is in line both regionally and what
has. been done historically and is not as open ended as the prior practice . Mr. Kanter told
councilman Stein that what has been done on the lower end , the $200 minimum fee barely
begins to cover the basic expenses .
There were no other questions from the Board .

Agenda Item No. 10 — Discussion of the Agricultural Committee
5
May 10 , 2004 Town Board Meeting
Approved June 7, 2004
Supervisor Valentino invited those people in attendance regarding the Agricultural Committee
to come forward . The following people introduced themselves to the Board : Christiann
Dean , Buttermilk Farm ; Debby Teeter, A . J . Teeter Farm ; Alan Teeter , A . J . Teeter Farm ; Sue
Suwinski , Sheffield Farm ; Jan Suwinski , Sheffield Farm .
Supervisor Valentino stated the Board wanted to discu =ss with them their ideas for the •
agricultural committee and whether they were interested in serving on that committee .
Supervisor Valentino stated the Town has had an agriculture committee since 1992 that has
met on an as needed basis . The Town Board is interested in hearing how they can make the
agriculture committee fit the needs of community members involved in agriculture .
Debby Teeter
I really don 't have a statement I prepared. I expected what we would be having is a
conversation based on the letter we received. I 'm glad to see the Suwinski's here and I know
that other farmers are interested in being here but unfortunately the timing is difficult for
farmers. It's a small farming community and unfortunately one family has had a recent death,
this weekend, of a close family friend. Another had a very important event this evening with a
grandchild. A third is in the height of his horticulture business; it 's make it or break it. I did try
to make some phone calls this evening.
I .would say I think the farmers, I hate to speak for them and 1 really don 't intend to speak for
them, but I 've spoken with a lot of them and at least some of them are in agreement with the
feelings that my husband and I have and perhaps to a more severe extent on the part of
some farmers is that we are not happy with the zoning and we are certainly hopeful that we
can work with the Town to resolve those problems. I think it boils down to two different areas.
One is the problem of the Ag and Markets ag district law, and there still continues to be
significant problems with that and conversations with ag and markets. It looks like there is
going to be no movement on that. I can accept certainly the statement that the Town is
interested in working with the farmers and that you support farming in the town, but if we look
at the problems, and I personally think that they're quite serious and I think the Suwinski's in
particular have some issues. The appearance or what the zroning says is that it 's the Town 's
intent to restrict and control agriculture . So, for me, and I think my husband and some other
members of the farm community, we would need to have a good faith statement from the
Town that you are interested in making the zoning comply with ag district law which is
designed to benefit farmers. That 's one thing.
Councilman Stein asked Mrs . Teeter to explain the conflict between the zoning and
agricultural district law .
There were 22 separate points of conflict between the Town, our, zoning and ag district law.
From my perspective as a farmer they are not minor. We 're talking about what I believe the
State would regard and what we would regard as excessive site plan, setback requirements,
restrictions on farm markets and roadside stands. Perhaps, I don 't know if the Board •
members saw the original letter from Ag and Markets outlining those.
Mr. Kanter and Supervisor Valentino told Mrs . Teeter that the Board members did see those
concerns .
6
May 10, 2004 Town . Board Meeting
Approved June 7, 2004
I 'm concerned, on that issue, that the lack of movement is an indication that the Town either
hopes that the farm people abide by rules that we think are, and are supported by, we
believe, ag district law, unreasonably restrictive to agriculture, and you 'll l guess call our bluff
whether or not we would proceed with Ag and Markets. And I think in conversations with
other farmers the other issue perhaps is not so much agricultural zoning as the requirement
• of a deed restriction. 1 think that we understand agricultural zoning and in terms of what has
actually been happening in the Town with regard to sales of lots of farm land, the zoning
might fit our needs quite well with the deed restriction. For many years, many many years,
the only concern that I think we would have is we might, we haven 't sold a lot off our farm in
30 years, 40 years. Like everyone 's business we have assets and our assets are our land
and if we can 't liquidate some of our assets in difficult times we could be out of business.
This deed restriction requirement of the zoning ordinance is a forever kind of thing. As a
family that has been farming for 150 years we know what forever is. It is a very long time.
I have talked with American Farmland Trust and this was an unusual arrangement. They
were not aware of any other, that is not to say that the covenant, in the deed when you sold
your allotment of lots isn 't done anywhere else, but they couldn 't quote me any off the top of
their heads. '
Councilman Lesser asked if Mrs . Teeter was talking about the purchase of development
rights .
No, I 'm talking about the agriculture (inaudible). If you have a 49 acres lot and sell six one
acre lots (inaudible) and actually sell the land my understanding is you have to, and I could
be wrong in this, you have to start putting a covenant in your deed. Another concern is the
excess cost of that. Every time you 're going to sell a lot.
I think those two issues are of concern among the members of the farm community, Ag and
Markets ' concerns. And the portion of the agricultural zoning that requires the deed
restriction . And I think it all is circled by this feeling, and 1 understand from the last meeting,
that the members of the Board felt like maybe farmers haven 't been present. But I think the
same feeling exists on the part of the farmers. (Turn tape) . . and they said eight years ago
they didn 't want to see the zoning and they feel like that should have been enough, but at the
same time the comprehensive plan said that the Town would seek out new farmers and try to
build their farming base and also it would involve the farmers. And as near as 1 can tell, I
mean in eight years you could have visited one farm a year. I 'm not trying to be accusatory
I 'm just trying to say that the farmers have the same sort of feeling, that they were really shut
out, they were not specifically invited to the table. The one time we had a presentation for the
Ag Committee was really at the Ag Committee 's request and when that presentation came to
the Ag and Farmland Protection Board that was at that board's request. So, 1 think with some
prodding we can probably get farmers to the table to go forward if they believe that there is a
genuine sense on the part of the Town to address these concerns.
• Jan Suwinski
We live on West Hill. We 've been there over 3o years, almost 35 years. We moved to West
Hill because we wanted a place in the country, wanted a place to have horses and we have
really enjoyed the environment there. It's probably the place in the Town of Ithaca that has
the most open space. Our issue is a little different. We 're more concerned about preserving
7
May 10 , 2004 Town Board Meeting
Approved June 7, 2004
the open space in the Town. We 're here because we were sent a letter saying if you 're
interested come. We 're looking for a way to plug in so that we can be part of the dialogue
going forward. Specifically, a concern we have is that the Town, I 'm not sure which
committee, the Planning Committee or Zoning Committee, worked for seven years
culminating in the new zoning rules for agriculture on West Hill and the goal as I understand it
when I read it is to preserve agriculture as much as possible on West Hill. It seems that •
within less than six months of having that seven year effort result in a set of regulations, two
new developments have been announced and they are going through the review process.
There 's a 200-unit condominium complex that 's just up from Linderman Creek and another
one that Mr. Drake wants to put in, a subdivision of 29 homes. That's our concern because
when the land is gone, it 's gone, and the specialness of West Hill and the open spaces are
not going to reappear. We 're here to see how best to participate in the discussion .
Councilman Lesser asked Mr. Suwinski if he would consider putting his land into the Town ' s
purchase of development rights program . Mr. Suwinski responded that he might .
Christiann Dean
One third of the open space in the Town of Ithaca is kept green by a crew of unpaid
groundskeepers called farmers. Unlike the groundskeepers of the State Parks, we don 't get
paid for maintaining the picturesque views and green space that makes the Town of Ithaca
such an attractive space to live or visit. As chair of the Town 's Ag Committee for the past 12
years, I am hear tonight to bring a wake up call to the Town Board and five requests. The
Town 's agriculture is at a critical juncture right now. The Town Ag Committee was
established under Supervisor John Whitcomb in response to a report called Planning for
Agriculture in the Town of Ithaca . The Ag Committee was established so every type of
farming was represented and every farm family in the Town was invited to join. The Town Ag
Committee was appointed by the Town Board in 1992 and all afrm families represented
except Ross, Sheldrake, and Cummins, although I 'm happy to say that George Sheldrake
has offered to serve . Meetings have been held as needed at Cooperative Extension because
that's a familiar, comfortable place for the farmers. We set these goal at the beginning:
1 . Advise the Town Board and other boards and committees on the effects proposed
Town actions would have on agriculture
2. Consider the ways to reduce the tax burden on farmers beyond the reduced farm
assessment already in place
3. Consider a voluntary purchase of development rights (PDR) program in which the
Town would pay a farm family for the difference between their market value
assessment and the non -developable assessment in exchange for selling the
farm 's development rights, but not the farm, to the Town .
4 . To educate the Town boards and the public on how maintaining farmland helps all
residents, and also the pressures the farmers face.
How is the Town doing on meeting these four goals ? The Ag Committee and Planning staff •
worked diligently to develop guidelines for a voluntary PDR program, but the next year or two
will prove its worth . As to tax abatement the Town agreed to charge farmers for fire
protection only on buildings, not on fields or forests. So that was one step, it 's a good step,
but it is not enough. Next, as to advising the Town on proposed Town actions, when Jon
Kanter accepted my invitation to present proposed new zoning regulations to the Ag
8
May 10 , 2004 Town Board Meeting
Approved June 7, 2004
Committee last year, we thought it was just one . more presentation in all the years of
meetings. We 've had lots of meetings with the Town and we didn 't understand. Jon made a
nice presentation and asked for our questions, we didn 't understand that was it and it was
going to go from that, what we thought was an informational dialogue like this, to next we
knew it was on the books and it was law. We didn 't understand that. I think that explains
• some of the anger that has been directed to the Town from some of the farmers. As to our
fourth goal educating Town boards and committees, this meeting is a good step. I offered to
meet with you and I offered to invited the Ag Committee to meet with you and continue this
dialogue. I also request of you, Cathy, that your provide each Town Board member and each
Planning Board member with a copy of the report Planning for Agriculture in the Town of
Ithaca .
Ms . Hunter indicated that she had sent that report to the Town Board members with their
packet materials .
If you would be so kind to send it out to the agricultural community again . Like the Suwinski's
probably don 't have it. It provides some really crucial information for planning.
I have four more requests of your, Cathy, and of the Town Board.
1 . Appoint the Agricultural Committee tonight
2. Get ready .to respond quickly and with enough money when a farm family
approaches you about buying their development rights. The Ag Committee and the
Town Planning staff worked hard to get the PDR guidelines established and a
small part of money set aside when a farmer is ready to sell, which often happens
really fast. That's one of the things I want to say to you is that when a farmer is
ready to approach you to talk about PDR it is usually because somebody is sick,
something sudden has happened in the farm family, often. What happened is
either somebody is ready to retire, somebody is sick, somebody in the farm family
has lost there job, there 's been an economic downturn. Those are the kinds of
things that make a farmer ready to talk to the Town about PDR> There was a dairy
farm in the Town which is no longer operating and that dairy farm approached the
Town and applied for PDR. It was the first PDR application that the Town received
some years ago. My view is that, and I know I 'm not alone in this view, the Town
was not prepared to handle that. It was the first PDR application. The Town didn 't
have a well qualified assessor who really know how to do a PDR assessment. The
Town didn 't have enough money in place. We don 't need to revisit that, but what I
will say to you is that you could receive an application, and it won 't be an
application, somebody will just call you and say I want to talk about PDR, I want to
talk about purchase of development rights, and the Town Board has got to be
ready to handle that. I 'm asking you, are your ready ? If that call came to you
tomorrow, are you ready?
• Supervisor Valentino and Councilman Lesser told Ms . Dean that they felt the Town was
ready . The Town has a committee , guidelines established , a fund set up , appraisals on all
the lands earmarked for the program . Supervisor Valentino stated the Town would be very
pleased to have any farmer come forward to talk with the Town and begin working with them
immediately .

I appreciate hearing that, and I also think there is not enough money in that fund.
You and 1, Cathy, you had told me that there 's the possibility of some
enhancements to that formula that's in place because that formula is not enough to
get any farmer I know in the Town of Ithaca to actually make a PDR agreement
with you. I think the Town Board is going to have to consider seriously some •
enhancements to that. I appreciate very much the Town Supervisor's sense that
you 're ready and eager. I think that willingness is a great step and those
regulations, those guidelines that are in place are a great step, but I don 't think it 's
enough . So I think that the Town may have to do something, there may be some
more dialogue and some more money that may have to happen, be in place to
make that happen . Finding ways to enhance the PDR dollar formula so a farm
family would actually consider selling you their rights is a key thing I would ask you
to look at. Another is to consider the interface between the Town 's PDR program
and New York State 's PDR program, and neighboring Town 's PDR programs. A
Lansing farmer reportedly just accepted a million dollars for PDR on 400 acres.
Supervisor Valentino told her it must be a State program because the Town of Lansing does
not have a PDR program . Mr. Lesser added that the Town has been unsuccessful in getting
the State to participate in any Town of Ithaca PDR opportunities . Mr. Lesser told her that the
level of State funding falls far short of the purchasing opportunities. Supervisor Valentino
stated that the States does not see Tompkins County as under a lot of development
pressure .
Maybe we can help you. Maybe we can join together with the Town Board and the
Town Planning Department to help educate the State PDR fund about the
development pressures because the development pressures are mounting
enormously on the Town of Ithaca . That's why I say this is a wake up call. I 'm
happy that the Suwinski's are here and I would say that on South Hill we have
precisely the same situation .
3. l would also ask you to re-establish the policy of the Town Board and Planning
Board of sending to the Ag Committee for its comment any proposed policies or
developments with a proposed impact on agruculture. That used to happen very
routinely and lately that part of the Ag Committee 's original mission has been
followed only intermittently, particularly by the Planning Board. I would ask you if
you wculd remind the Town Board and the Town Planning Board of that mission.
4 . The other thing I would ask is I would like to propose that there be a structure
initiated to have the Town Agriculture Committee and the Town Planning
Department work jointly to visit every farm family in the Town that's willing to
receive a visit to go over what the PDR regulations are and what the numbers
would be for a PDR agreement with that farm family. I offer you any help I can be •
in that and I hope other members of the committee will too.
Mr. Kanter stated that they were planning to hold a proactive meeting of the Purchase of
Development Rights Committee for a hashing out of some ideas .

May 10, 2004 Town Board Meeting
Approved June 7, 2004
Councilman Engman commented on his experience with committees stating they do not work
well unless they meet on a regular basis . He asked Ms . Dean if the Agricultural Committee
was willing to set up a regular schedule ? Ms . Dean stated they would be willing to meet
regularly as long as the farmer knew that the meetings were meaningful and that the Town
was genuine in trying to address the concerns of the farm community .
• Supervisor Valentino stated she did not feel they could appoint the committee at this meeting .
She asked when the committee does meet that they put down some goals and establish a
schedule of regular meetings . As soon as the committee is appointed Supervisor Valentino
strongly recommended that they hold an organizational meeting .
Christiann Dean told Supervisor Valentino she had outlined the goals of the committee in her
letter to the Board and asked that the committee be appointed at the evening ' s meeting .
Supervisor Valentino stated that she had not heard from all the individuals either
recommended by Ms . Dean or invited by the Town and did not feel comfortable appointing
the committee until she had an opportunity to touch base with all the involved parties . Ms .
Dean commented that this was different from the routine reappointment that has occurred in
the past . Supervisor Valentino stated it was a little different and told Ms . Dean that the Town
was interested in having an active Ag Committee and bring some of the ag business people
into the mix .
Councilman Lesser hoped there would be an opportunity for the Agricultural Committee to
speak to the Codes and Ordinances Committee because of the issues that have to do with
zoning .
Mr . Kanter and Ms . Teeter discussed the role of Ag ' and Markets . Regarding the Town ' s work
with State Ag and Markets , Mr. Kanter reported that the Town met with Ag and Markets
several times , both before and after adoption of the new zoning . Before adoption , there
were four items brought up in these discussions that were incorporated into the new zoning .
After adoption , involved Town personnel met with Ag and Markets and came up with a list of
additional items they felt could be dealt with as further amendments to the ordinance and
these will be presented to the Codes and Ordinance Committee . Mr. Kanter and Ms . Teeter
discussed the number of items on Ag and Markets list and Ms . Teeter asked that the Town
Board members be given a copy of the list . Mr. Kanter stated that Ag and Markets is trying to
work with the Town , trying to work with the farm community , and they' re working under the
State Ag and Markets law. They have a lot of balancing they need to do . Ms . Regarding
their function , Ms . Teeter stated the function of Ag and Markets is to enforce agricultural
district law and what they are trying to do is advise the Town on problems with the zoning that
are in direct conflict with Ag District law . Mr. Barney responded stating this was not entirely
accurate . Ag and Markets has their view of what Ag and Markets law requires and there is
some tension between what that law requires and what the Town feels is an appropriate area
of regulation for the Town . There are no resolutions in the sense of court decisions one way
• or the other. They have taken a position on things like the Site Plan Review where they think
that because you have to go through a site plan review for something that is contrary to Ag
and Markets law , at least as they interpret it . But there is nothing in the law that says that
and they do it under the supposition that our site plan review process is an extremely long ,
drawn out , time-consuming affair, which it is not . Matt Brauer expressed this when we met
with him , so that one of their points that surfaces three or four times in their letter about the
11
May 10 , 2004 Town Board Meeting
Approved June 7, 2004
site plan review , it ' s not something the Town is likely to give in on because the areas where
they've imposed it on farmers are relatively modest and they do have an effect on the people
surrounding the farmers . There are a number of issues there that are not necessarily cast in
concrete with the Ag and Markets law specifying that we have directly violated it . That' s not
the case . There is quite a bit of room between us and them as to what has been appropriate
and what it is that the law actually says . •
The Board discussed their next step . Discussion included a special meeting to talk about
agriculture in the Town and appointing an interim committee , Councilman Stein suggested a
longer committee term .
The Board authorized Supervisor Valentino to make appointments to an interim Agriculture
Committee .

Aqenda Item No . 13 - Town of Ithaca Stormwater Manag iment Plan Annual Report to
NYS DEC —discussion and opportunity for public comments and questions
(Attachment #6 — Draft Stormwater Management Program Annual Report fro Regulated
MS4s
Supervisor Valentino asked if there was anyone present to discuss the stormwater
management proposals . There was no one present . Susan Ritter was present to answer
any questions from the Board .
Councilman Burbank , with reference to training for pollution prevention ( page 26) , asked that
the Town be aggressive in it' s training of personnel . Mr. Noteboom stated that the Town
actually uses many of the recommended practices , but has not yet formalized a training
program . Mr. Noteboom reported that the Town is currently developing a formal training
program . Ms . Ritter reported that there is a Stormwater Working Group of Tompkins County
communities and one of the things that will be coming out of that group is a program for
formalized training . Mr. Walker reported that the Engineering and Planning staff have
attended formal training .
Councilman Lesser asked if the stream corridor monitoring program was a component of this
plan . Ms . Ritter told him it was something that was added to the annual report .

Supervisor Valentino reported she had received a call from Sheriff Meskill telling her that his •
department had received a $ 1 , 000 grant that they will be putting toward traffic monitoring for
the Town .
14
May 10 , 2004 Town Board Meeting
Approved June 7, 2004
Supervisor Valentino told the Board that the contract under consideration is a renewal of last
year' s contract with a change in the dates and amounts and a description of the targeted
areas .
Councilman Lesser told the Board that past monitoring had identified a number of places
• around town where speeding is fairly pronounced and the feeling is that additional patrolling
would be one means of controlling speeding and changing behavior. The Sheriff' s
Department would provide additional patrolling on an overtime basis . The Town pays about
$50 . 00 per hour and the Sheriff' s Department provides an officer and car. Last year' s
enforcement focused on East Hill . This spring they have concentrated on South Hill ,
particularly Stone Quarry and Coddington Road . With the help of the Highway Department ,
they do speed monitoring before and after the enforcement periods to get an indication of the
effectiveness of the program .
Councilman Stein asked if they were able to determine whether there were lasting changed
once enforcement was taken away . Councilman Lesser stated this was certainly the
program ' s objective , however, the amount of money and time they have been able to devote
to this project is no where near sufficient to change behavior. They are going to have to do
what they can repeatedly so that people begin to recognize they cannot speed without
impunity . It is going to take an ongoing effort .
Councilman Burbank pointed out that 13A is currently experiencing very heavy traffic loads
and some aggressive driving . He asked that the area be included in the monitoring .
TB RESOLUTION NO . 2004-082 : Authorize Renewal of Contract with the Tompkins
County Sheriff ' s Department for Additional Traffic Patrol
WHEREAS , the Town of Ithaca entered into an agreement with the Tompkins County
Sheriff' s Department for additional traffic patrol from April 1 , 2003 through December 1 , 2003 ;

Agenda Item No. 17 - Consider Setting a Public Hearing Regarding Amendment to the
Subdivision Regulations
Mr. Kanter told the Board when the Town adopted the Zoning Ordinance they found that
there was a potential conflict between the Subdivision Regulations and the new zoning . The •
provision in the Agricultural Zone that not only encourages clustering but basically says the
Planning Board may require clustering in order to preserve large tracks of farm land . The
Subdivision Regulations , on the other hand , say that you cannot cluster in an Agricultural
Zone or District and before a cluster plan is brought to the Planning Board that land must first
be rezoned to a residential zone . That is a direct conflict with the purpose and intent of the
new agricultural zone . Resolving that conflict is the purpose of this amendment . The
proposed amendment was taken to the Planning Board who recommended the Town Board
adopt the amendment .
TB RESOLUTION NO . 2004=083 : Setting a Public Hearing to Consider a LOCAL LAW

northeast portion of the Town . As part of the Intermunicipal Sewer Agreement the Town
needs to update their agreement with Cayuga Heights for diversion of flows to the City plant ,
mainly through the new Kline Road interceptor. The Town has been meeting with Cayuga
Heights and the meetings have been friendly and cooperative . It looks like they will be able
to put together a straightforward agreement . It will be cost effective for the Town because the
diverted sewage will be processed at the City Plant where the Town is a partner. New flows
will be coming to the Cayuga Heights facility from the Village and Town of Lansing .

before the Board about a year ago and the Board approved participating with Tompkins
County in hiring a consultant to do the Hazard' Mitigation Plan . The plan is in the

In response to questions from Mr. Carvill , Mr. Walker stated that he would follow up with Kate

Supervisor Valentino reported that the Town of Ulysses passed an ordinance that is the same

Farkas will be going to his Town Board to request they amend their ordinance to 500 feet off
shore . The Town of Caroline asked , since the three municipalities have different time that the
boats can operate ( Lansing has 8 , Ulysses has 9 , the Town has 10) , if it would be possible
21
May 10, 2004 Town Board Meeting
Approved June 7, 2004
for the three municipalities could come to an agreement on a consistent time . Supervisor
Valentino stated she wasn 't sure whether it was worth going through the whole process of
another public hearing to make that change this year. Another thing the group noticed was in
Section 9 where it talks about "no person under the age of 16 may operate a PWC unless he
or she is accompanied by a parent or accompanied by an adult over the age of 18" . There is
an error where it says "and " . The State law actually says "or" . Attorney Barney and
Councilman Engman told Supervisor Valentino that wording was intentional to make the
ordinance more restrictive .
The Board discussed specifying the point from where they will measure the sound . Attorney
Barney felt it would be better to pin point of how you are going to measure the noise .
Councilman Stein recommended measuring from the shore , stating the Board essentially
needed to decide where they wanted it to be quiet . Councilman Engman recommended
looking into the issue more , looking at other models .
Councilman Stein asked if the ordinance was enforceable as currently written . Attorney
Barney told him it would be enforceable .
The Board agreed to defer setting a public hearing until further investigation and discussion
with the Sheriff and the Justices .
Agenda Item No . 27 = Discussion of Funding for Ithaca Invaders ( Attachment # 14 —
4/20/2004 Report on Ithaca Invaders)
Supervisor Valentino told the Board that the Town is not funding Ithaca Invaders . What the
Town is doing is funding four youth that are hired through the Cornell Cooperative
Extension ' s Jobs for Youth program . She reported that she had asked Karen Coleman how it
had happened this way ; Ms . Coleman told her it shouldn 't have and it will be corrected next

Subject: Ladder Truck Replacement
April 13 , 2004
To : Cathy Valentino
Re : Ladder Truck Replacement
The Mayor and I wanted to give you a quick update on our possible ladder truck replacement. When we
met last fall , we discussed the high maintenance costs associated with our 1990 truck, leading us to
consider early replacement. Doing so would require the Town to allow us to lift the annual expense cap
in the contract, since it wasn't contemplated when the contract was negotiated. We agreed to keep you
informed of our process of evaluation .
• The Village board discussed the situation at length on several occasions, and agreed that the Fire
Department could prepare a specification for bid. Once bids were received, and true financial
implications were known and the Town consulted, a decision regarding replacement would be
made .
• The specification was prepared, sent out, and in early March five bids were opened .
• The bids were remarkably close to the estimates used for the earlier analysis , indicating that the
net cost of a purchase (purchase cost less trade-in) is approximately $400 ,000
• While the board has not yet approved the acquisition , it passed a bond resolution this week to
initiate the permissive referendum period.
If the truck were to be acquired and, consistent with our discussion last fall , the Village and Town made
a $75 ,000 down payment (split using the ratio from the contract) we estimate that the annual payments
would increase the total contract amount by $ 14,000 to $ 16 ,000/year (depending on whether we bond
for 8 or 10 years) . This would be above the annual increase cap currently in the contract .
The Village Board has requested that the Town agree to increase the annual contract amount before
proceeding with this acquisition . The Village would like to act on the matter in its meeting of May 17 .
Would it be possible for the Town Board to consider the matter prior to that time ? The Village would
be happy to have the Fire Chief and/or the Treasurer attend the meeting and provide any necessary
material to facilitate the discussion .
Thank you for considering this request . We look forward to hearing from you.

MEMORANDUM
TO : Town Board Members
DATE : May 3 , 2004
FROM : Andrew S . Frost, Director of Building and Zoning
SUBJECT : New Fee Schedule Applicable to Building and Zoning
Enclosed are two charts depicting the existing fee schedule and a new proposed schedule for all fees collected
by the Building and Zoning Department.
i
The fees for building permits should be increased (as shown in the proposed schedule) to reflect the increased
costs of construction and the increased cost of the Town to enforce its regulations. It is noteworthy that the new state
mandated building codes (effective January 1 , 2003 ) are more detailed and time consuming, in order to achieve
compliance. With this, we have added additional cost brackets for the less costly improvements and increased the
fees for higher value construction projects. The thinking here, is to provide a greater range of building permit fees to
go along with the more detailed volume of regulations.
With regard to the other categories, where fees are collected, the rates have gone up to follow along with the
increased cost of "doing business." Please note that we are now proposing collecting fees for fire safety
reinspections. We have not collected monies for this before ; however, a reinspection does cost the Town and
collecting fees for reinspections should also encourage property owners to improve compliance at the time of the
initial inspection.
Finally, with regard to Zoning Board of Appeals, fees have been unified for the cost of an appearance to $ 100
for all appeals (current is $80 and $ 100).
We are also proposing to drop the fee for use permits. Use permits were part of the original New York State
Fire Prevention Code, which no longer exists. This Code ceased in 1984 . That Code, in part, addressed items like
bowling alley floor resurfacing chemicals, cellular nitrate film, and other flammable substances that are now
obsolete. The 1984 state codes (and present) now mandate fire safety inspections to be performed in buildings (other
than 1 and 2 family residences) . With this the Town is performing and charging for fire safety inspections on all
Town inventoried properties (other than ; l and 2 family residences) .

PLANNING DEPARTMENT MEMORANDUM

TO : TOWN BOARD MEMBERS
FROM : PLANNING DEPARTMENT,.;
DATE : APRIL 29 , 2004 `
RE : LOCAL LAW REGARDING UPDATING THE FEE SCHEDULE
Attached are materials related to the updating of the Town ' s fee schedule . Included is a
copy of the proposed Local Law for the Fee Schedule, 'a draft Town Board resolution for
adoption, and SEQR material . The fee schedule includes changes related to the Town
Clerk office , and to the Planning, Building and Zoning, and Engineering Departments. At
the May 10` 11 meeting, each department plans to summarize the . relevant changes that have
been made .
The current fee schedule was adopted in 1994 , and very few changes or updates have been
made since then . Town staff recently. identified that many of the fees were outdated and .
that the method used for the site plan and subdivision charges created many problems for
the applicants and planning staff. This past year staff collected many examples of fee
schedules from other communities (neighboring municipalities and others throughout the
State) and researched what changes may be appropriate to the Town ' s schedule . Planning
staff complied the proposed changes from all the departments and a draft was presented to
the Codes and Ordinances Committee ( COQ in fall 2003 . The COC .has reviewed the
proposed fee schedule at several meetings , discussed the proposed changes, and has
forward . the Local Law to the Town Board for consideration of adoption . The COC
worked closely with Susan Brock , Attorney-at -Law, in drafting this proposed local law .
The most significant change in the fee law relates to a new structure for Planning and
Development Review fees . Based on much discussion and research (see memo from Mary
Russell , dated 1 /20/04, attached), we are recommending changing our development review
fee structure to a new simplified application fee schedule ( similar to the building permit fee
system) , based on estimated cost of the project . This was formulated by studying actual
staff time spent on reviewing projects over a number of years, and relating that to
estimated costs of these projects .: This will bring the development review/application fee
system in line with the recent court rulings outlined irrMary Russell ' s memo , and will also
simplify the accounting system that we have been using for a number of years .
The Zoning Ordinance includes several sections (e . g . 2303 , 2403 , 2802 , 2 8035 and 2812 )
with general references to fees that the Board might want to. consider amending at some
point in the future, but none of these sections create any conflicts with the new fee law
provisions . Perhaps these can be amended at some point after adoption of the new Town
Code to . ensure proper cross-referencing in the Code .

Re:. Development Review Fees
As a result of our .discussion at the November meeting of the COC, I did some research on the
subject of the current legal parameters the courts, have set on development review fee schedules
for municipalities. . This is the manner of charging for staff services the planning staff is
recommending i .e. setting a fee schedule as opposed to the current practice of tracking time. spent
on individual projects. Some issues, which arise in trying to construct a legally sustainable ee
schedule, are : 1 ) May different categories of applicants be established and charged differing
fees? 2) What characteristics may distinguish the categories from each other? 3) How much
statistical data is needed to justify he categorization?
Two New York Court of Appeals cases give us some guidance. In the leading case on this issue,
the Court of Appeals expressed its displeasure with fee assessments that were. open-ended,
fearing the potential for abuse of or discrimination against applicants' . Jewish Reconstructionist
Synagogue of the North Shore; Inc. v. Incorporated Village of Roslyn Harbor, 40 NY2d 158
( 1976 ,) Considering the assessment of fees to a_ synagogue for a variance and special use permit
in the small , almost exclusively residential Village of Roslyn Harbor, the. court stated
"the fees . . . ` should be assessed or estimated on the basis of reliable factual studies or
statistics ' . . Put another way, the yardstick by which the reasonableness of charges made
to an applicant in an individual case may be evaluated is the experience of the local
government in cases of the same type. Without the safeguard of a requirement that fees
bear, a relation to average costs, a board would be free to incur, in the .individual case;
not only necessary costs but also any which it, in its untrammeled discretion, might
think desirable or convenient, no matter how oppressive or discouraging they might in
fact be for applicants . . . .That is not to say that classes of applicants may not be
established. Experience may indicate that average costsjustify distinctions among
A more open-ended approach was upheld where it was deemed by the court to be fair, in line with
costs in other communities and based on average rather than actual expenses. Home Builders
Association of Central New York v. Town of Onondaga, 267 AD 2d 973 ( 1999). Since this approach
required the Town of Onondaga staff to do all the work required to establish a fee structure and then
refund_ any excess to the developer, at least one commentator sees little benefit of this approach over
establishing a fee structure. (Grant, D . , How to Arrange for Developers to Fund the Expenses of
Project Review and Development, New York Planning Federation paper)

different kinds of applicants, describable by objective criteria such as, for instance,
whether they are involved in residential as distinguished from nonresidential uses. Or
categories may revolve around such determinants as the size or value of the property at
issue. Where classifications are rational, fees for each class maybe based on its
average . : . Thus, if a village can demonstrate that a class of applicants generally requires
a board to incur costs greater than those usually attendant upon applications for those in
another classification, it may establish such a class and may establish its fee schedule
accordingly. Roslyn Harbor at 163 - 1.64 (emphasis added).
Finding that some of the village 's charges to the applicant were justifiable and some were not, the
court stated
But, obviously, a fee is not an average when it is based on a sample of one. Here the
village acknowledges that the plaintiff' s application was the only one of its kind
received by it in many years, if ever . . .Nor is there even the slightest indication of any
effort made to avoid idiosyncratic or atypical charges by ascertaining what prevailing
practices had been developed over a range of experience .by other villages of .
comparable size on the basis or their average experience." Roslyn Harbor at 164.
Therefore, we know from Roslyn Harbor that ( 1 ) development review fees should be based on
average actual costs and (2) classes of applicants may be established based on rational
distinctions such as residential/non-residential , size, value orpast e).cperience indicating a certain
type of application typically generates such actual costs. Clearly, if' a municipality has had very
little experience with 'a certain type of application that it .feels should be put into a separate
category, it should look to the experience of other municipalities for guidance.
The question of how much research is necessary to justify categories was addressed by the Court
of Appeals in Suffolk Coun ty Builders A ssocia tion v. County of Suffolk, 46 N.Y.2d:613
(.1979)(question 3 above). This case involved a challenge to a fee schedule (including various
categories) which had been established by a county health department for site inspections. One
basis of the challenge was that the health department did not have a sufficient basis to set the fees
it was charging, even though it had undertaken an -expense study.
. the health department undertook a study of the expenses the county incurred incident
to the issuance of health permits for water service and sanitary facilities for new
construction. The factors that the study took into, account consisted of approximations of
the actual cost of performing the related services by the department's general engineering
unit in 1974 . . . , the number of actual inspections of both commercial and residential
construction projects for that year, and an estimation of the time required for inspecting
and processing the various applications. Candidly conceding that the end result was only
a "rough estimate" of the cost of the . entire permit issuance program, the commissioner
arrived at a figure indicating that the total cost to the county in 1974 was $545 ,000:
Finally established by the commissioner in February, 1976, the schedule that eventuated
from the cost study imposed fees ranging from $25 to $ 140 for the issuance of a health

department permit for residential construction, depending on whether the particular plot
was serviced by public or private water and sanitary facilities and, in the instance of a
- parcel serviced by both private water . . . and -private sanitary facilities . . . , upon the size of
the parcel. A separate; higher fee schedule was applicable to commercial construction . . . .
Suffolk County at 617 . .
We turn now to. the point that the fees imposed by the commissioner were not, in fact,
'consistent with the cost of examination and field inspections" because the cost figures on
which the fee schedule was based were drawn in part from rough estimates of the . .
previous year's expenses rather than from more precise statistical formulae. To support it,
plaintiffs place much reliance on the fact that judgriments and estimates rather than
numerically accurate calculations alone led to the fees proclaimed by the schedule.
Suffolk County at 620.
The court supported the approach the health department had taken stating
This is not to scoff at exact figures----when they are to be had. It is merely to observe
that they are not necessarily the only means by which to arrive at a fair. judgment of cost,
all the more so when, as here, the department's aim was not to record past experience but .
to predict what it would be in the future. Yet, here, the available cost figures were not
ignored. The commissioner took those that were most recent and, where no time studies
separating commercial from noncommercial inspections had been made. in the past,
almost necessarily placed reliance on estimates instead .
In short, this was a situation in which both statistical information and human. experience
played a part. Together, they were calculated to attain a reasonable correspondence
between costs and fees. Exact congruence between total expenses and total pennit
charges was not required. . , . Suffolk County at 621 .
Thus, the Court of Appeals indicated in the Suffolk County case that municipalities have
considerable latitude in setting fees. The Suffolk County fee schedule was based on statistics
from only one year of experience and "rough estimates" where statistics were unavailable. We
are fortunate that Town, staff has maintained detailed cost records for a number of years, so that
"rough estimates" do not need to be relied upon in setting the Town's development review fee
schedule.
An example of a fee which was overtumed is provided by New York Telephone Company v. City
ofAmsterdam, 200 A.D.2d 315 . (3' Dept. 1994), where the city's charge for an excavation fee
($ 13 per square foot) was clearly disproportionate to its costs in issuing the excavationpermit.
Another example is Bon Air Estates v. Village of Suffern, 32 A.D:2d 921 (2nd Dept. 1969) where .
the court held that because the property owner was able . to demonstrate that the building permit
fees exceeded the village's costs in issuing the permit by 200 percent, the proof was sufficient to
overcome the presumption of the fee ordinance's validity. A new trial was ordered to. show
whether
3
January 20, 2004 .
' the statute will consistently produce a substantial excess of building permit fees
above the costs of administering the ordinance and building code, whether there are any
additional costs suffered by other agencies of the local government in administering the
ordinance and building code, and whether there is any intent on the part of the village to
use the ordinance as an income-producing device or whether any excess is merely
incidental to the regulatory aspect of the ordinance. Bon Air Estates at 923 .

RE : Address Changes Eastwood Commons
This letter serves as formal notice that your property address within the Eastwood Commons is now in the process of becoming
official . As you recall, a letter was sent from this office on March 4, 2004, notifying you of the impending change and .asking for
feedback.
The only change is the word UNIT will be added after the building number. For example, building 250 Strawberry Hill Circle
will be 250 Unit 1 Strawberry Hill Circle, 250 Unit 2 Strawberry Hill Circle, etc. Please be advised that if your current unit is lettered
A it will become Unit 1 , B = Unit 2, C- = Unit 3, and D = Unit 4. '1 don 't believe it would be a problem for those who prefer to use a
different setting for an address to write "250 Strawberry Hill Circle, Unit 1 " as opposed to 250 Unit 1 Strawberry Hill Circle. Both
ways should function fine.
The Town. Board, during their May 10 meeting, will be officially changing the sections of road names as previously outlined.
public ' is invited to attend this meeting with this action taking place at 6 : 30 pm . With this action by the Town Board in. May it has
decided to change the effective date to July 1 , 2004.
Finally, enclosed is a map titled `.`New Eastwood Commons Addresses." Once again, this process has previously occurred in
other areas of the Town. The agencies and offices noted as "cc" at the end of this letter are being notified. You should not have to
notify them . You should notify the State and Federal governments (as necessary), credit card companies, banks, magazine .
subscriptions; etc.
Please feel free to call me should problems arise.

RE : Address Changes and "911 " Emergency Response
Attached to this letter is a map of the Town ' s proposed new addresses for the Eastwood Commons community. As
most of you know, the Town and associated emergency personnel have been concerned with the existing
address/numbering scheme within your property. Since the inception of the county ' s enhanced 911 system
municipalities, including the Town, have been periodically changing street names and numbers in order to create a
standard and uniform system that allows fire, ambulance, and police to locate a property when necessary.
Within this system buildings located on the north or west side of a street are assigned even numbers (2, 4, 6, 8),
tthe. eastern and southern. side receive odd numbers ( 1 , 3 , 5, 7). Additionally, street names have been coordinated so
o street names are alike throughout the county. The name of a street also needs to stay the same from its beginning
treet until it "dead ends. "
None of the .Eastwood Commons has been consistent with the above noted system. Therefore, as you can see in the
enclosed map the following is proposed.
1 ) Strawberry Hill Road and Sunnyhill Lane will become Strawberry Hill Circle (Sunnyhill Lane will be
eliminated). Numbers will change.
2) A section of Harwick Road will become a part of Strawberry Hill Circle.
3) Wildflower Drive will remain but numbers will change.
4) Numbers will change following the enclosed maps (existing and proposed). As an example 2 will become 200
Wildflower Drive and 3 will become 210 Wildflower Drive,
5) Where letters have been used for specific units in the four unit buildings (2A, 2B, 2'C, 2D) numbers will be used
(200- 17 200-27 200-31 200-4),
6) Where letters have been used for specific units in the three unit buildings (4B, 4C, 4D) numbers will be used .
(300-1 , 300-2 ,300-3) 1
Page 2
Finally, we are asking that you review this matter and bring your concerns to your association president, Ms. Jane
Hammond. Between your receipt of this memorandum and April 1 , 2004 any acceptable different proposal from your
association could be considered, as long as the numbering scheme follows the even/odd numbers, along with continuous
street names, as explained above.
After April 1 , 2004 it will be the intent of this office to send you a second memorandum that will finalize the new
addresses effective June . 1 , 2004 . At that time the Ithaca Fire Department, Tompkins County Fire Emergency

May 10s , 2004 Town Board Meeting ATTACHMENT # 7
TOMPKINS COUNTY SHERIFF ' S OFFICE .
MEMORANDUM
To : Law Enforcement Division - Patrol
Date: March 24, 2003
From: Captain Joseph B. Vitale
RE: Town of Ithaca Additional Patrols
The Tompkins County Sheriffs Office and the Town of Ithaca are reaching an
agreement for additional traffic patrols on selected roads. The proposed program will
include contracts with the Town of Ithaca and Aggressive Driving Funds made available
by the Governor's Traffic Safety Council. The program is designed to target high use
roadways and intersections to reduce speed and decrease accidents.
The Town of Ithaca in conjunction with the Town Highway Department has done speed
surveys and has found an overwhelming amount of motorists exceeding the set speed
limits consistently. These violations occur during morning and afternoon commuting
times. Therefore we have been asked to setup a traffic program to target specific times
and roads in an attempt to change drivers habits.
Initially we will patrol 20 hrs per week on designated roadways for a period of time,
then through the use of the Town of Ithaca Highway Department' s speed measuring
equipment an assessment will be made of our progress. Based on these results we can
modify our program for the maximum effectiveness.

' EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
This Tompkins County Multi-Jurisdictional All Hazard Mitigation Plan was Hazard Mitigation is any
prepared in response to The Disaster Mitigation Act of 2000 (DMA 2000), sustained action taken to
DMA 2000 (also known as Public Law 106-390) improves the disaster reduce or eliminate the long-
planning process by increasing hazard mitigation planning requirements for term risk and effects that can
hazard events before they occur. DMA 2000 requires states and local result from specific hazards,
governments to prepare hazard mitigation plans to document their hazard
mitigation planning process and identify hazards, potential losses, and FEMA defines a
mitigation needs, goals, and strategies. The type of planning supplements Hazard Mitigation Plan as
already strong disaster response, recovery, and- relief capabilities. the documentation of a state
or local government's
Tompkins County Multi-Jurisdictional Planning Process evaluation of natural hazards
and the strategy to mitigate
such hazards.
The requirements of DMA 2000 outline that each state must submit a
comprehensive all hazard mitigation plan to the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) by
November 2004 to be eligible for disaster relief grant funding in the future. To comply, Tompkins County
and seven towns located in the county (Caroline, Danby, Enfield, Groton, Ithaca, Lansing, and Ulysses)
have developed this Multi-Jurisdictional All Hazard Mitigation Plan (also to be referred to as the
mitigation plan). The City of Ithaca and Towns of Dryden and Newfield have elected to complete
individual mitigation plans and therefore are not included in the assessments of this document. Once all
the plans for all the jurisdictions in Tompkins County are completed and approved, the jurisdictions will
begin to work collaboratively to address data gaps and implement complementary mitigation actions.
To support the planning process to develop this all hazard mitigation plan, Tompkins County and the
seven jurisdictions therein have accomplished the following:
• Developed a planning group
• Identified hazards of concern
• Profiled these hazards
• Estimated inventory at risk and potential losses associated with these hazards
Developed mitigation strategies and goals that address the various hazards that impact the area
• Developed mitigation plan maintenance procedures to be executed after obtaining conditional
approval of the plan from SEMO and FEMA.
As required by DMA 2000, the participating jurisdictions and Tompkins County have informed the public
and provided opportunities for public comment and input on the planning process. In addition, several
agencies and stakeholders have participated as core or support members to provide input and expertise to
the planning process. This All Hazard Mitigation Plan documents the process and outcomes of the
jurisdictions ' mitigation planning efforts.
Tompkins County and the seven participating jurisdictions intend to incorporate mitigation planning as an
integral component of daily government operations through existing processes and programs. A notice
regarding the existence and location of copies of the mitigation plan will be publicized annually after the
planning group ' s evaluation in the Ithaca Journal and the plan will be posted on the Tompkins County .
web site and made available for review at local libraries. Each jurisdiction will be responsible for
receiving, tracking, and filing public comments regarding this plan.
Multi-Jurisdictional All Hazard DMA 2000 Mitigation Plan - Tompkins County, New York viii
Tompkins County Mitigation Plan Adoption '
To obtain plan approval, specific prerequisites for plan approval have been met by the participating
partners and Tompkins County. This multi jurisdictional mitigation plan will be reviewed and adopted by
both Tompkins County and each participating jurisdiction. The signatures of the appropriate
representatives will be found on page i of this plan document adoption of the plan. Copies of the
resolutions regarding adoption of the plan will be included as Appendix A.
Tompkins County Risk Assessment to Support Mitigation Plan
A key component of a mitigation plan is the accurate idenfication of risks posed by a hazard and the
corresponding impacts to the community. The process of identifying the hazards, profiling the hazard
event, and conducting a vulnerability assessment is known as a risk assessment. The risk assessment
portion of the mitigation planning process included the steps shown in Figure ES4 . Each of these steps is
summarized below.
Figure ES-1 . Risk Assessment Process
Step 1 : Hazard Identification
The area considered as the study area for this risk asessment STEP 1 : IDENTIFY HAZARDS
includes the Towns of Caroline, Danby, Enfield, Groton, Ithica,
Lansing, and Ulysses (Tompkins County Multi-Jurisdictional
Study Area). The risk assessment process was initiated by STEP 2: PROFILE HAZARD EVENTS
implementation of the Hazards New York (HAZNY) analysis, a
qualitative initial ranking system developed by the American Red
Cross and the New York State Emergency Management Office
(SEMO). HAZNY is an automated interactive spreadsheet VULNERABILITY ASSESSMENT
designed to evaluate hazards on a statewide scope and basis. The
program interface asks specific questions about potential hazards STEP 3 : INVENTORY ASSETS
in a community and records and evaluates the responses to these STEP 4: ESTIMATE LOSSES
questions. HAZNY also includes historical and expert data on STEP 5: EVALUATE DEVELOPMENT
TRENDS
selected hazards. HAZNY is designed specifically for groups, STEP 6: PRESENT MULTI-
rather than individual use. JURISDICATIONAL RISK
ASSESSMENT
The initial HAZNY screening process includes consideration of
25 hazards. Tompkins County recognized other hazards of
concern beyond those of HAZNY and considered the following "
initial pool of hazards, many of which are default in the HAZNY • ' UTS
program: blight, civil unrest, dam failure, drought, earthquake, • ' • ' ON I
epidemic, explosion, extreme temperatures, fire, flood, food
shortage, hazardous material (fixed site), HazMat (in transit),
hurricane. . ice jam, ice storm, landslide, mine collapse, severe storm, structural collapse, tornado, utility
failure, water supply contamination, and winter storm (severe). All geographically relevant hazards were
considered, and a list of 13 hazards was selected from the initial pool of hazards with scores suggestive of
hazards that are at least moderately low, based on the HAZNY scoring system (i.e., the hazard scored at
least 161 points out of a possible 400 using the model).
The order of the hazards was re-configured by the planning group based on the professional judgment and
evaluation of the planning group, including the frequency, magnitude, geographic extent, possible direct
and . cascading effects, impacts to critical facilities and vulnerable populations, and historic costs
associated with each hazard. Two hazards, landslide and drought, were identified as potential hazards but
were not considered further due to the historically low frequency. of landslide events and low financial
MulWurisdictional All Hazard DMA 2000 Mitigation Plan - Tompkins. County, New York ix
losses associated with droughts, respectively, in Tompkins County and the seven jurisdictions therein.
The following list of 1 I hazards of concern, in order of significance to the community, was selected for
evaluation in the mitigation plan:
1 ) Flood; .
2) Severe Winter Storm (Including Ice Storm);
3) Utility Failure;
4) Severe Storm (Including Hurricane);
5) Epidemic (Agricultural);.
6) Major Transportation Accident (Including HazMat Release In Transit);
7) Terrorism;
8) Water Supply Contamination;
9) Fire (Urban and Wild);
10) Epidemic (Human); and
11 ) Civil Unrest
Step 2 : Hazard Event Profiles
Some hazards initially considered have been consolidated with, or separated from, other hazards to avoid
redundancy and to facilitate conceptualization of the hazards. Also, though hazards may be grouped by
their root causes, including natural (e.g., flood, severe winter storm, agricultural epidemic), technological
(e.g., utility failure), and human-caused (e.g., terrorism), the profiles are presented herein, in order of the
hazards of concern as listed above. Of the 11 selected hazards, only one, flood, is considered moderately
high. The remaining 10 hazards are as moderately low to moderate.
For each hazard listed above, a hazard event profile presents following information:
1 ) Background and local conditions
2) Historic frequency and probability of occurrence
3) Severity
4) Historic losses and impacts
5) Designated hazard areas
Other factors considered include the potential impact, onset, frequency, hazard duration, cascading effects
and recovery time for each hazard. For this mitigation plan, considerable research was conducted in the .
assemblage of profiles for the I 1 hazards of interest. Where applicable, the source(s) of information and
data and maps showing vulnerable areas, relevant community components, and GIS coverage are
provided, as well. Table ES= 1 summarizes the hazards identified for the Tompkins County Multi-
Jurisdictional Study Area and those that impact particular jurisdictions. Input from each town, the public,
and local agencies and hazard experts were used to complete the town-specific columns of the table.

Finally, for each hazard, Tompkins County' s mitigation planning group provided a preliminary overall
assessment of the relative risk of that hazard in the Tompkins County multi jurisdictional study area. The
risks associated with each hazard range from no to severe concern. The Hazard Risk Gauge considers
information obtained for that hazard.
Vulnerability Assessment
Step 3. Inventory of Assets
After a prioritized ranking of hazards of concern, a GIS-based risk assessment methodology called
Hazards U.S.-Multi-Hazard (HA.ZUS-MH) was used to prepare and displayy the inventory of assets for.the
multi jurisdictional study area. The inventory of assets shows a range of resources that could be lost or
damaged if a hazardous event occurs. Specific assets evaluated for this risk assessment include..
population, general building stock (residential and commercial), critical facilities (including, hospitals,
schools, police and fire stations, and infrastructure [transportation systems]) and utility systems. Over
$2.5 billion of assets (including buildings and infrastructure) were identified in the Tompkins County

Step 4: Loss Estimates
Loss estimates were obtained for the flood and hurricane hazards. . Qualitative
evaluations were performed for those hazards with limited past event and total Annualized loss is the
loss data for the area. All of the hazards of interest were analyzed using the best estimated average annual
available data and FEMA tools and methodologies* I loss for a specific hazard

Landslide, earthquake, and drought hazards were also considered .as hazards but are not profiled or
assessed for the purposes of this plan. While these hazards have a significant exposure value based on
assumptions made by the mitigation team, the probability of these events occurring is low and it is not
likely that each individual event would create damages anywhere near the total estimated "at risk
exposure value" for those hazards.
Terrorism and human epidemic hazards will be addressed, but detailed planning for these events is of the
purview the Tompkins County Office of Emergency Response and the Tompkins County Public Health
Department, respectively; therefore, close coordination with these agencies will be included for the
terrorism and epidemic hazards.
Other findings include:

Step $: Evaluation of Population and Land Use Trends flood-prone area would
likely increase the impact
This mitigation plan provides a general overview of population and land uses of the flood event. as time
and types of development occurring within the study area. Existing and pro9resm•
proposed land uses are discussed as well as development densities in the
identified hazard areas and any anticipated future changes that would significantly change the character of
the area. This information provides a basis for making decisions on the type of mitigation approaches to
consider and the locations in which these approaches should be applied. This information can also be used
to influence decisions regarding future development in vulnerable areas. Finally this information (Hazard
analyses and proposed mitigation activities) will be incorporated into the Tompkins County
Comprehensive Plan.
Tompkins County, located in the Finger Lakes region of central New York, contains an uncommon
mixture of rural and urban landscapes, dramatic terrain and natural features, agriculturally productive
areas, an internationally renowned academic institution and major research center (Cornell University),
and two smaller higher education institutions (Ithaca College and Tompkins Cortland Community
College), The Tompkins County Multi4iuisdictional Study Area is a primarily rural area located in
central New York, approximately 250 miles northwest of New York City. The area occupies
MulWurisdictional All Hazard DMA 2000 Mitigation Plan - Tompkins County, New York xiii
.Q app roximatel 5- 00 sq uare miles and serves a population of approximately 100,000 (Tompkins County
and 2000 census). While the population density of the area is low compared to the densely populated
New York Boroughs, it is typical of the other counties in the region. .
Tompkins County Comprehensive Plan and Vital Communities Initiative
The purpose of the Tompkins County Comprehensive Plan is to address in a coordinated way those issues
that can best be considered on a county or regional scale and for which solutions often require
cooperation and collaboration among local, county, State, and Federal levels of government. This plan is
also intended to provide a mechanism for coordination of plans developed. by county departments, other
independent agencies . and other levels of government, which upon completion of such plans (like the
hazard mitigation plan) will require coordination for implementation. Key elements of the comprehensive
plan include transportation, economic development, housing, land use, open space and water resources, as
well as a guide for County government' s facility and infrastructure plans, which are also addressed in the
hazard risk assessment and mitigation activities in this plan. (Tompkins County Planning Department,
2003g)
The Tompkins County Comprehensive Plan will build on the Vital Communities Principles, as well as the
County Legislature's mission statement, and identify specific policies and strategies to implement both
those principles and other goals identified through the plan's community participation process, such as the
community involvement element of this plan. By identifying population trends, land use trends, and
projections, areas of consistency and opportunities for collaboration can also be identified as well as any
potential conflicts between existing plans, the County Comprehensive Plan will provide a process through
which to address community goals in a proactive, coordinated manner (Tompkins County Planning
Department 2003g).
Population
From 1990 to 2000 The Tompkins County Multi-Jurisdictional Study Area saw a population increase of
only 3%. This represents a slow down in population growth from previous 10-year periods of
approximately 13% from 1970 to 1980 and approximately 8% from 1980 to 1990. This increase is
projected to continue at roughly the same rate for the next few years.
Land Use
Land use regulatory authority is vested in New York State's towns, villages, and cities. However, many
development and preservation issues transcend local political boundaries. The Tompkins County Multi- .
Jurisdictional Study Area' s land cover can be divided into five major categories. The first category is
forest, which makes up approximately 53 percent of the study area. The second category is agriculture,
including crops, pastures and inactive farmland at 30 percent .coverage. The third category is residential
usage at 7 percent. Water and wetland usage is the fourth category with 6 percent land coverage. The
fifth category, industrial, commercial, educational and recreational land use make up an estimated 4
percent of the land area.
Impact on Hazard Assessment
By projecting land use in the Tompkins County multi jurisdictional study area, the communities can
evaluate if future land use and development will be impacted by hazards and can plan to mitigate those
hazards early in the development process. As these trends are projected to continue, the increase in
development can be expected to increase the population and inventory at risk. These increases in
inventory will increase the potential losses for The Tompkins County Multi-Jurisdictional Study Area,
MulWurisdictional All Hazard DMA 2000 Mitigation Plan - Tompkins County, New York xiv
y
which in turn will raise the importance of mitigation planning. The planning group plans to revisit the
mitigation plan regularly to ensure that mitigation strategies support growth in a manner that minimizes
increased risk and that supports the implementation and targeting -of specific mitigation actions and plans
to address any impacts of development over time.
Step 6: Muld4urisdictional Risk Assessment .
Because Tompkins County has prepared a multi jurisdictional rislc assessment, the risk assessment section
also summarizes any particular risks faced by individual towns adopting the plan.
[Note: Tetra Tech will include bullets of towns particularly vulnerable to specific hazards and table of
losses by jurisdiction/hazard.]
Tompkins County Mitigation Strategies
The mitigation strategy portion of
The outcomes of the risk assessment and community input included a review the plan includes:
• A summary of past and current
of past mitigation actions, future goals, and appropriate county-wide, and mitigation efforts and
town-specific mitigation strategies. Tompkins County identified four over- foundations
arching mitigation goals or general guidelines that summarize the hazard Local hazard mitigation goals
reduction outcomes the county wants to achieve. and objectives
• Identification and analysis of
The mitigation goals used to provide a foundation for Tompkins County' s mitigation measures and
mitigation strategies include the following: projects being considered
• MutWurisdictional mitigation
strategy (goals and objectives)
10 Protect life and property Mitigation action plan
20 Increase public awareness (Summary of speclfic activities)
31 _ Encourage partnerships
41 Provide for emergency services
The county developed several corresponding objectives for each goal that further define the specific
strategies or implementation steps to attain. the identified goals. The goals along with their corresponding
objectives guided the development and implementation of specific mitigation activities. Many of the
mitigation objectives and action items were identified from current -programs and activities in Tompkins
County. Focus was placed on the effectiveness of the activities with respect to their estimated cost.
[Note: Tetra Tech will include summary of mitigation strategy portion of plan. We recommend this be
completed after a review and discussion of Section 5. 0 of the plan is implemented with the Planning
Group],
Tompkins County Plan Maintenance Procedures
Hazard mitigation planning is an ongoing process. The Tompkins County Planning Group will continue
ongoing mitigation planning to implement the mitigation plan and revise and update the plan as
necessary. In addition, the mitigation plan will be updated at a minimum within the 5-year cycle
specified by DMA 2000. Also, mitigation planning must address changes as new hazards occur, as the
area develops, and as more is learned about hazards and their impacts. To monitor the implementation of
the mitigation plan, the planning group members will collect annual reports from the agencies involved in
implementing mitigation projects or activities and discuss the updates at the annual meeting of the .
planning group.
MulWurisdictional All Hazard DMA 2000 Mitigation Plan - Tompkins County, New York xv
The evaluation of the mitigation plan is an assessment of whether the planning process and actions have
been effective, if the communities ' goals are being reached, and whether changes are needed. The
mitigation plan will be evaluated on an annual basis to determine the effectiveness of the programs, and to
reflect changes in land development or programs that, may affect mitigation priorities or changes In
available funding.

Report

Ithaca Invaders*
In 2003 the Invaders were given a total $ 1500 by the JYC . Of this money $ 1000
paid for 4 youth employed to work as assistant coaches in the program 4
evenings per week for 5 weeks . This is part of the JYC Youth Employment
Program . The other $500 covered various aspects of a program which had 60
participants , 44 of whom were JYC kids . Of this number, 25 were from the Town ,
9 from Cayuga Heights , and 10 from the Village of Lansing . Scholarships were
also given . The Town gives 49 % of JYC monies . .
I believe , along with the other JYC Committee Members that this is a very good
return 'for the investment , and recommend continuance of this program .
*from the Joint Youth Commission Report on Participation by Municipality for
2003 .
April 22 , 2004
Sandra ,
I am sending this to you via mail because I can 't find your email address .
I read through. the Invaders 2004 application and found the following information.
for you , which I believe may be helpful .
The camp operates for 5 weeks Monday — Thursday for two hours each night from
6-8 PM . They are charging $ 150 per youth participant , there are. time and family
discounts and no one is turned away because of lack of funds . For five weeks this
Yorks out to be $30 per week or $ 3 . 75 per hour.
The JYC supports the camp by paying the salaries of the youth assistants and
contributing to the scholarship pool . Each youth as:; istant would earn about
$ 50 . 00 per week or $250 for the summer. Youth employees are supervised and
help in the training , planning and implementation of the camp along with the Sr.
Coaches .
Our $200 contribution goes into a scholarship pool . .This amount covers 1 full
scholarship or several partial scholarships .
I 've also attached . two reports
1 ) Youth Development Budget and participation by municipality . - .This shows
the percent of Municipal contribution of the total budget. Also percent of total .
number attending programs .
2 ) Updated Participation Sheet — this will look familiar but is a slightly different
format than the one you have . I removed the others category in the JYC list ,
added the totals for JYC and changed the number for total participants under
the Science Center. I did this because when I reviewed their report on .
participation their total included programs. that were paid for by other
municipalities and the general population were not invited to attend , e . g .
Scouts , Trumansburg Youth Services , and school groups . I believe that this
will create a more accurate comparison .
I trust that this is clear, however, if you have questions please feel welcome to ask .

MEMORANDUM
DATE : May 3 , 2004
TO : Town Board
FROM : Tee-Ann Hunter
RE: Report on the Status of the Justice Court Records Grant
Work _ on the 2003/2004 Justice Court Grant is scheduled for completion by end of June
2004 . A large component of this project was identifying court records that could be
disposed of which are currently in storage at Town Hall . Seventy cubic feet of records
were identified as eligible for disposal and a list submitted to the New York State Office
of Court Administration asking for their needed permission to dispose of the records . ,
Permission has been received for half the listed records and permission for the
remaining half expected by end of week . Our . intention is to hire a mobile shredding
company that will come to Town Hall and quickly and efficiently dispose of the records .
We determined this was a cost effective alternative to having staff shredding the
records . A list of the records approved for disposal is available in the Town - Clerk's
office .

Regular Meeting of the Ithaca Town Board
Monday , May 10 , 2004
Human Resources Report for April 2004
Personnel Committee :
The Committee met to review and discuss recent changes or modifications to the.
Personnel Manual . They reviewed drafted wording changes for the manual on
the policies that have passed Town Board approval ( Employee Assistance Policy
and Shift Differential . ) Suggested wording changes for Uniforms , Employee
Physicals , Paid Meal Periods and Health Insurance Buy Back . These changes
are mostly in clarifying intent of the policy . The Committee did recommend
changes to the Conference and Travel Policy that will be proposed to the Town
Board at the May meeting . The next meeting of the committee is June 9th
Safety Committee :
Committee discussed a recent accident and if or how it could have been avoided .
The committee. also dedicated sometime in discussing the dangerous
intersections that were identified and Tom Niederkorn 's request for more input on
these intersection by highway crewmembers . The committee discussed one
intersection to focus on first as a starting point for addressing these concerns . .
The second session of CPR and First Aid was held at Town Hall with seven ..
participants .
Training and Development:
was the presenter of an Assertive Communication and Public Speaking class
that was co-sponsored by Tompkins County and City of. Ithaca . Two Town
employees attended the class . Other classes attended by Town employees in
April were Stress Management, Leadership- Management-Supervision and Team
Building .
I attended a Human Resource session on update on the newly passed
regulations of the Fair Labor Standards Act . Congress passed many new.
changes to determining what employees are exempt from overtime .
Payroll :
. Connie Clark, Principal Account Clerk , and myself met with Norma , Williamson
. Law Book, to go over additional corrections needed on the new windows payroll
program . We have downloaded the first 5 payrolls into the database and have
manually entered payroll number 6 . As we enter each payroll the fine-tuning of
the program is occurring . The goal at this point is to have the program
completely converted over to the new program by th6end of June .
Personnel — Civil Service :
Interviews were held for the Recreation and Youth Coordinator position and the
Deputy Town Clerk position . I have made job. offers to the employees chosen by
the Interview Committees , and both have accepted with a starting date of May 3 ,
2004 . The new employees are ; Marnie Kirchgessner, Recreation and Youth
Coordinator and John Coakley , Deputy Town Clerk .
Tee-Ann Hunter and I met with Laura Johnson- Kelly , Town Historian , for her
orientation . Laura is very excited to get started with a project for the Town . .
Time was allocated in April to working on the Strategic Working Meeting for the
Town Board and the Leadership Development program for the Management
Team ,
Kirk Sigel , Chairman , Zoning Board of Appeals , Kristie Rice , Assistant Director of
Building & Zoning and myself met with a Richard ( Dick) Matthews regarding his
interest in filling the vacant position on the Zoning Board of Appeals .
A Highway Department employee was let go in early April for cause . We have
not made any progression in replacing this employee as of yet , partly because
we will need to cover the unemployment cost associated with this .
Three seasonal full time Highway Laborers started in April and will be working
through the summer until mid October. They are Danny Hunt , Jon Munson and
John Dickhaut, all were seasonal employees that worke d for us last year .
Commercial Insurance :
All changes approved at the April meeting regarding the Town 's insurance . have
been updated . I have since met with Charlie Gibson to discuss what items. need
to remain listed for coverage under the inland marine . policy .
Workers ' Compensation : ,
There Were three accidents to report from April.. One was very minor and will be
paid for under the Town ' s risk retention fund . Of the other two accidents one
resulted in lost time of 2 days and transitional duty for one week and the second
accident also resulted in light duty for one week. Both employees are back to full
duty at this time :
Disability Insurance : No new claims to report .
Unemployment Insurance : There is currently one employee whom was
terminated in April that is claiming unemployment . The Town is direct billed for
this expense .

April 12 , 2004 Town Board Meeting ATTACHM) N x# 11
Buttermilk Farm
330 West King Road
Ithaca NY 14850
April 9 , 2004
Kathy Valentino, Supervisor, & Town Board Members
Town of Ithaca, 215 North Tioga
Ithaca NY 14850
Dear Supervisor Valentino and Town Board Members :
I noticed the Town ' s Agriculture Committee has not yet been appointed this year. I
would appreciate it if you would , at the April 12 , meeting , reappoint the following :
Christiann Dean
Jamie Baker
Debbie & Alan Teeter (one seat , shared)
Tom McMillan
John & Jennifer Bokaer-Smith (one seat, shared)
Nelson Eddy
and appoint these new members :
George Sheldrake , Early Bird Farm
Steve Cummins , Indian Creek Farm OR Bob Baker, Dairy Farmer
This brings the number of farmers/farm landowners to eight, as provided in the original
resolution . Would you also consider appointing three Town Board members in addition
to the farmers , plus assigning Planning Dept . staff? This would promote direct
communication . In the past communication between the Town Board and the Ag
Committee has depended on Town Planning Board Staff attending ex -officio . At the first
meeting we will elect a Chair, vice Chair, and recording secretary . Here are my goals for
the Ag Committee for 2004 :
1 ) Consider whether the PDR formula needs updating
2) Consider the Town ' s farmland PDR budget
