The General, Part Town, and Highway Funds are the only budget funds over which we have operational control 2. The two major sources of income in these funds are real estate tax and sales tax. 3. The two major expenses in these funds are personnel (i.e., salaries & wages + fringe) and equipment. 4. Personnel equipment amoimts to 85-95% of property + sales tax. 5. During this period, the property tax levy has increased an average of 8.5% per annum 6. During this period, sales tax revenue has increased at an average of 5.9% per annum 7.. It is unlikely that either 8.5% or 5.9% in these sources of revenue are sustainable over the long term. 8. Expenditures on equipment have been roughly flat over the past 4-5 years. 9. Personnel costs have increased at a rate of about 11.7% per annum over the period. 10. It will be difficult to sustain an annual rate of grown of 11.7% in the personnel budge over the long run. November 10,2005 Town Board Meeting Approved December 12, 2005 Budget Meeting of the Ithaca Town Board Thursday, November 10, 2005 at 5:30 P.M. 215 North Tloga Street, Ithaca, New York THOSE PRESENT: Supervisor Valentino; Councllwoman Grigorov; Councilman Lesser; Councilman Burbank; Councilwoman Gittelman; Councilman Engman; Councilman Stein. STAFF PRESENT: Tee-Ann Hunter, Town Clerk; Dan Walker, Town Engineer; Fred Noteboom, Highway Superintendent; Jonathan Kanter, Director of Planning; Al Carvill, Budget Officer; Judy Drake, Human Resources Manager; John Barney, Attorney for the Town. CALL TO ORDER Supervisor Valentino called the meeting to order at 5:30 p.m. and led the assemblage in the Pledge of Allegiance Wastewater Treatment Plant Budget Supervisor Valentino distributed copies of the Final Wastewater Treatment Plant Budget to the Board. Agenda Item No. 3 - Board Comments Financial Trends (Attachment #1 - Long Term Financial Trends 2000-2005) Councilman Stein stated he had been looking into historical trends having to do with the budget and told the Board what it was that he has discovered as outline in his handout titled "Long Term Financial Trends 2000-2005". He thanked Mr. Carvill for providing him with the needed data. Mr. Stein reviewed his findings with the Board and made the following comments: • The funds over which the Board has the most operational control are the general fund, the part town fund, and the highway fund. • The two major sources of income in these funds are the real estate tax and the sales tax. • The two major expense categories in these funds are personnel and equipment. • The personnel and the equipment expenses amounts over the past 5 years on the average between 85% and 95% of the property tax plus the sales tax. What interested Mr. Stein how these particular items have changed over the past 4 to 5 years. The property tax levy over the period 2000 to 2005 has increased at an average of 8- 14% per annum. During this period the sales tax revenue has increased at an average of 5.9% per annum. A person observation that Mr. Stein guessed one could argue about is whether these trends can be considered to stay at this level for a long time. The property tax levy, of course, is the source of revenue the Town has control over because they c n set the tax rate. The sales tax revenue the Board has no control over. Mr. Stein would be surprised if an average increase of 6% per annum can be expected over the long run. Mr. Stein November 10,2005 Town Board Meeting Approved December 12, 2005 doubted that either the 8-14% of annual real estate tax increase or the 5.9% annual sales tax revenue are sustainable over the long term. With regard to the expense side, expenditures on equipment have been roughly flat over the past 4 to 5 years. Personnel costs on the other hand have increased according to Mr. Stein's calculations something like 11.7% per annum over this same period. Mr. Stein stated he did not understand why the personnel costs have been increasing at this rate, but it seemed to him this must be where the increased revenues are going. He felt that the Board needed to understand this. His conclusion is that it will be very difficult to sustain an annual rate of growth of 11.7% in the personnel budget over the long run. Supervisor Valentino stated she would be interested to see how Mr. Stein arrived at his figures. Mr. Lesser stated another issue the continuing Board members are going to need to contend with is that in the provision of additional services to residents, such as trails and parks, the Town is building increased commitments into the future. Those costs are going to become increasingly evident and Mr. Lesser felt it was important that the cost of each project be identified. Mr. Stein did not want his comments interpreted as saying that the increase in personnel was fat or was not providing services that are important; it's just that in balancing dollars and cents, Mr. Stein does not see any way that this kind of growth can continue given the Town's sources of income. Coddington Road and Hanshaw Road On another matter. Councilman Lesser told the Board that some of the residents along Coddington Road are beginning to evaluate a possibility of having the area identified as an historic district. If this moves ahead it is possible that the Town will be asked some time in the future to endorse such a designation. Councilman Burbank reported that he had attended the community meeting on the Coddington Road reconstruction project. Mr. Burbank came away understanding that the County really can't afford to do "the whole thing". They are going to have to make some choices and some of what they are proposing to do is clearly out of sync with what the neighbors want. Mr. Burbank encouraged the Town Board to continue to be involved in the process and use whatever sway they have to encourage the County to keep the pavement as narrow as possible and do what they can to reduce speeds. Supervisor Valentino reported that she had called Peter Penniman, chair of the County committee, and talked to him about the neighbors and the Town's request for narrower pavement on both Coddington and Hanshaw Roads. Additionally, she has spoken with Mayor Peterson who she felt would also be interested in seeing the pavement narrowed because of what it is going to dump into the City. Supervisor Valentino thought the City's Board of Public Works may be passing a resolution similar to the Town's regarding the width of the road. Supervisor Valentino encouraged Board members to make the Town's wishes known to individual County Legislators and ask for a County resolution of support to go to the State. The Board ^ discussed the misalignment of available funds and the cost of the proposed projects. November 10,2005 Town Board Meeting Approved December 12, 2005 Sales Tax on Clothing Councilman Engman and Supervisor Valentino reported having heard from the County that the State is proposing to forgive the sales tax on clothing under $100 for the entire year. David Squires has calculated that it would represent approximately $790,000 of sales tax that the County would lose. They are urging local officials to come to the County Capital Project meeting to provide input.

MOVED: Councilman Engman SECONDED: Councilwoman Grigorov ROLL CALL VOTE: Supervisor Valentino, aye Councilwoman Grigorov, aye Councilman Lesser, aye Councilman Burbank, aye Councilwoman Gittelman, aye Councilman Engman, aye Councilman Stein, aye Agenda Item No. 13 - Public Hearing to Consider Adoption of 2006 Town of Ithaca Preliminarv Budget as the 2006 Final Budget fAttachment #4 - An Estimated View of Fund Balance; Sliding Tax Rate Scale: Summarv of Changes Adopted 2006 Budget: Summary of Fund Balance) Supervisor Valentino reviewed with the Board changes made in the budget going from the Tentative to the Preliminary and some other things that they have talked about since then. Supervisor Valentino reported the following: $4,000.00 for the Human Services Coalition was added to the Preliminary Budget. The cost of utilities for Tutelo Park was added to the Preliminary Budget The cost of an ArcView upgrade was added to the Preliminary Budget A $6,000.00 loss in revenue as a result of the County taking over tax collection beginning in April rather than June of each year has been added to the Preliminary Budget. There is a decrease in salary and fringes in the Part Town Budget because of the reorganization of the Building and Zoning Department. Not added in the Preliminary Budget is money for a security officer for the justice court. Supervisor Valentino felt this discussion should be held with the incoming justice. Supervisor Valentino and Mr. Carvill distributed information on the impacts on fund balance of a tax rate of 20-cent/1000 of assessed rather than 30-cent/1000 of assessed value. (See attached Sliding Tax Rate Scale and An Estimated View of Fund Balance Position) 10 November 10,2005 Town Board Meeting Approved December 12, 2005 Supervisor Valentino delayed discussion to open the public hearing on the budget at 6:15 p.m. The hearing was published and posted as required. There was no one from the public to comment and Supervisor Valentino closed the hearing at 6:16 p.m. Returning to discussion of the distributed information, Supervisor Valentino told the Board there was a bit of good news that helps a little bit if the Board wants to look at lowering^the tax rate from 30 cents to 20 cents. The Town received the year's final mortgage tax payment and it was $91,000 more than budgeted. Additionally, sales tax revenue for the 3^ quarter was 2% higher than it was last year at this time. Supervisor Valentino and Mr. Carvill did some calculations of the three quarters and if the trend continues it looks as if what the projected as a $191,000 shortfall is not going to happen. The Board then reviewed the information. Councilman Stein commented that four years ago the Town used to fund the general fund with sales tax revenue but have been taking that away to pay for increasing highway costs. He stated the Town has reached the end of the road on that and, if highway expenses continue to increase, they will have to make a real estate tax for part town. Supervisor Valentino added, "or Highway" and told him that, if they do not receive enough sales tax, he was right. Supervisor Valentino commented that the Highway budget has begun to level off a bit, but it comes down to policy and priority decisions. To a large extent what has been fueling the Highway budget is not Highway expenses themselves but what the Town has been spending for their parks, trails, and open space. In the coming years the Town Board will need to make decisions and talk to the public about whether they want to continue funding these things at the rate the Town has been able to fund them in the past. In response to questions from Councilman Lesser, Mr. Carvill stated the Town is now approaching a level where they do not want to be dipping into fund balance. The consideration before the Board of going from 30 cents to 20 cents is certainly feasible but Mr. Carvill did not feel it was one that was practical or financially prudent to exercise. He projected that a 10-cent reduction in the tax rate, given the projected 4% increase in expenses and a possible reduction in mortgage tax revenue would result in a 2007 tax rate of $1.78 per thousand. Councilman Burbank felt Mr. Carvill had made a convincing case for the 30-cent rise in the tax rate and encouraged the Board to stay with what was adopted in the Preliminary Budget. Supervisor Valentino commented that even with the $1.68 tax rate the Town of Ithaca is still one of the lowest tax rates in the County. For all the residents outside the Village of Cayuga Heights the fire tax has been lowered by 10 cents. This means only a 20 cents increase for people outside of the Village of Cayuga Heights. Additionally, because of a reduction in the sewer benefit charge there's a savings there of around $20.00. For people with water and sewer that will put them at either a no increase or, in some cases, a tax decrease. While not the case for everyone, it will effect the majority of the people that live in the Town of Ithaca and they will not see any significant tax increase. Supervisor Valentino told the Board she felt more comfortable with the $1.68 rate than the $1.58 rate. 11 November 10, 2005 Town Board Meeting Approved December 12, 2005 Councilman Stein stated he felt the discussions become muddled by talking about the tax _ rate. He thought the tax rate is not a number that matters to individuals, what matters to individuals is how much money they pay and how much more money they are going to pay this year than last year. He stated the Board should be very careful about either congratulating themselves or slapping themselves because the tax rate goes up or down. Mr. Stein felt the number that they ought to look at to decide on whether they are spending more money or less is the tax levy. It's not been true that the tax levy has been flat; the tax rate has been flat but the levy has not been flat and it's gone up at a rate of roughly 8% per annum. Likewise it is the same thing about comparing the Town's real estate taxes to other towns in the area. Maybe that's because we do things more efficiently than other towns or maybe it's because our property is assessed higher in this town than it is In other towns. Ms. Valentino stated that Mr. Stein was right, the levy is a very important indicator, but just like the tax rate or anything else, it is not the whole story. For example, in the Town this past year, there was an assessment increase rate of what she believed was 9%, but 20% of that 9% is brand new housing that has never been on the tax roll before. So just to say everybody's taxes going t© up because of that, well in a Town like Ithaca, mainly a bedroom community without a lot of commercial growth, the growth that we get also increases the Town's costs. There are more roads to take care of, more water and sewer to take care of, services to provide. If your growth in housing is going to grow, then your levy has to grow with it. You can't keep it static. Supervisor Valentino stated that what she and Mr. Carvill are talking about is keeping those things in balance. You are not going to have a static tax levy or a lower tax levy when you have additional responsibilities because there is additional growth. What you hope for, and it's not always true, most of the statistics show | this, that the additional growth does not always provide you with additional revenue to lower people's costs. In fact often, it's exactly the opposite. The additional housing causes more costs for the Town to maintain those things. That is why it is important and has always been the Town's policy to try to keep the growth rate under control. Councilman Stein responded stating Ms. Valentino was absolutely right there is no question that the tax levy has to be adjusted for the new housing and these numbers are complicated and it's hard to get a real numerical answer to the kinds of questions he has been talking about. It's true that the increase in the levy is not only rising assessments, but he thought it was dominated by rising assessments. But Ms. Valentino is absolutely right that if you want to make a study of it in terms of the tax burden on individuals you subtract the new construction and Mr. Stein felt new construction probably, on the average, averages out. You probably get as much increase in taxes as you do increase in services that new construction means more people and more people mean more services. It probably all averages out in the end. Councilman Engman agreed with Mr. Burbank that the budget has been worked on very hard and his purpose in asking for the implications of a 20 cent rather than 30 cent increase in the tax rate was to make sure the Board looked at things very hard. He does not feel uncomfortable with the higher levy. He agreed it gave more of a cushion for the future. Mr. Engman had four questions: 12 November 10,2005 Town Board Meeting Approved December 12, 2005 He noticed in the Personnel Committee minutes that the health insurance rates were going to be half of what was anticipated and wondered if those saving showed up in the budget and how much would they be. Supervisor Valentino told him they had left the 20% increase, $60,000, in the budget at this point. What she would like to talk to the Town Board about is taking part of that money and putting it into the Benefit Reserve Fund so that the Town can respond to spikes in the State Retirement or health insurance premiums. He noticed the total increase from Preliminary to Tentative was $58,300. The biggest item was adding in the gas and petroleum products. Now that gasoline prices are dropping, Mr. Engman asked if there was going to be a little more of a safety valve. Supervisor Valentino explained that as a municipality we do not pay the gasoline taxes that consumers pay at the pump. Those taxes are not based on quantity used. When the gasoline price itself doubles and not the taxes, it shows up ift as a bigger increase. Mr. Engman asked for clarifications of "General Benefit Purposes". Supervisor Valentino told him it was the Benefit Reserve mentioned earlier. Mr. Engman stated there was something called "add revenue and other sources" in the Summary by Fund Balance that was in the Tentative Budget. He did not see an estimate for that in 2005. Mr. Carvill told him the reason he did not see it in 2005 is because 2005 is not over yet. Mr. Engman asked if he could provide an estimate, stating the average for the past 5 years has been about 2.5 million dollars. He wondered if 2005 was going to be in line with that number. Mr. Carvill responded stating when you look at 2001, 2002, 2003, 2004 you are going from the end of one year to the beginning of the next year and in the current year that you're looking at Mr. Carvill needs to add in the revenue sources of the current year's budget, take out the current year's expenses to give you that estimated number. When Mr. Carvill gets to 2005 the year hasn't closed out yet. What the number is actually showing at the end of the year is what are the actual revenues and other resources. Supervisor Valentino asked the Board if there was any more discussion about the budget. There was not and Supervisor Valentino moved adoption.

The Town is picking up bagged leaves through the month of November, but Mr. Noteboom is hesitant to extend the loose-leaf pickup without Board permission because it is set by board resolution. Mr. Noteboom would like to see the Town move toward a bag leaf pickup entirely and not have the specialized equipment. It is something he would like to have put on the Public Works agenda. Councilman Stein was hesitant to extend the leaf pickup because people would be upset to see the vacuum make a second sweep after they had already taken the time to bag the leaves. He felt that the Board should stick to the policy established. The board further discussed allowing the extension of the leaf pickup and the associated cost. IB RESOLUTION NO. 2005-170: Authorization to Extend Leaf Pickup for One Week ^ f I Be it Resolved, that the Town Board of the Town of Ithaca authorizes extending the fall leaf pickup for one week.

Sales Tax Abatement Supervisor Valentino wanted to get a sense from the board on their feelings about the proposed sales tax abatement because she would be attending the meeting at the County. She wondered whether the Board felt they should ask the County to vote for or against the abatement. Councilman Burbank asked for further clarification of the tax abatement. Supervisor Valentino explained that when someone buys clothing under $100 per item, there would not be sales tax. The abatement would be year round. Councilman Burbank felt that was ^ significant and that there was a better way to help the people the tax abatement was attempting to help. 20 November 10, 2005 Town Board Meeting Approved December 12, 2005 Councilwoman Gittelman thought that it would be helpful for low-income families, but that it really opened up a can of worms. Councilman Stein thought that the way to look at it was the sales tax receipts would go down and that the property tax revenue would go up. It would be a direct transfer from sales tax to an increased property tax rate. Supervisor Valentino added that the County would lose approximately $790,000. Councilman Engman wanted to urge the Board to advise the County to say no. He did not trust that the tax abatement would be for the entire year and felt it was better to keep it the way it was because people can plan based on what it is now. It also is not going to save governments any money. Governments will have to raise the monies somehow since the budgets are already set. The money will need to be raised somehow and it will come out of real estate. People complain most bitterly about taxes on real estate. Councilman Lesser wanted to go on record supporting the tax abatement in the area. He considered sales tax on essential items, including lower priced clothing, as very regressive taxes. It is shifting it to a category that is less regressive. He also expressed the concern that if Tompkins County does not follow the tax abatement, and the surrounding counties do, there will be a shift in sales out of the County. Councilman Lesser thought you could make the same argument for putting sales tax on food. If you put sales tax on food then more sales tax revenue would be raised. Councilman Stein countered the same argument could be made for gasoline and that there is no end to these arguments. Councilman Engman would support what Councilman Lesser was saying if the State would increase the income tax to compensate and share that money with localities. The income tax is the true less regressive tax, but that is not being proposed. Supervisor Valentino asked for direction from the Board and took a straw vote. Supervisor Valentino, Councilman Burbank, Councilwoman Gittelman, Councilman Engman, and Councilman Stein were against the tax abatement. Councilman Lesser and Councilwoman Grigorov were for the tax abatement. Councilwoman Grigorov felt that people needed the tax abatement. Supervisor Valentino said that there are ways for people to figure out how to clothe themselves and their children, but there was nothing that can be done about the property tax. Councilwoman Gittelman added that the property tax was pushing people out of the County because of the high prices on housing. The Board decided to report the majority opinion of the Board. Pedestrian Light Petition Supervisor Valentino acknowledged receipt of a petition from residents around Warren Road and Hasbrouck Apartments requesting a light at the pedestrian crosswalk by the school. Supervisor Valentino would like to forward the petition to the Public Works Committee. 21 November 10, 2005 Town Board Meeting Approved December 12, 2005 Annual Association of Towns Meeting Supervisor Valentino mentioned that she had put money in the 2006 budget for a couple of Board members to attend the annual Association of Towns Meeting in February. Interested Board Members should let Supervisor Valentino know. Reception for Departing Board Members Mr. Carvill and Supervisor Valentino asked Councilman Lesser and Councilwoman Grigorov to provide them with a guest list for a reception that they would like to have to thank them for their service to the Town.

Thirty youth have completed the process with only four not employed in some venue (2 because of a personal scheduling conflicts; 1 for lack of follow-up and the fourth was only 13 and ineligible for paid f \ employment.) The County Youth Services Division coordinates public youth \ employment opportunities that avoids duplication and maximizes awareness of opportimities. 1 provide a conduit to that system for Town Youth. 1 follow up with youth and ask them to complete a civil service application that is available at the Town's web site. We then schedule an interview where 1 talk we the applicants about the process and options. 1 provide them with interview information and resources. If 1 know of private employment that they might be suited for 1 refer them and "coach" them through process. 1 also "screen" for individuals who might qualify for other subsidized public opportunities. 1 invite family members or other caregivers to participate in the process because transportation is a family concern. As the Joint Youth Commission seeks to offer a continuum of employment opportunities and support services 1 have worked with other Town Staff (Tee Ann Hunter, Judy Drake, David Klein, Fred Noteboom and Rich Schoch) to create diverse opportunities that benefit both the Town and youth. This cooperation has afforded 11 youth employment with the Town to date with two "graduating" on merit to formal positions. To date 1 have responded to applicants on first completed, first served basis. Some youth have chosen to wait for "other" openings due to personal schedules or interests. The Town by offering direct coordination of the program was able to improve youth employed from 10 in 2004 to the 26 to date with two youth pending paperwork for placements. In addition six sites other than the Town were used with two new sites waiting to accept the pending placements. The feedback fi-om youth, caregivers and sites has consistently been positive. 1 continue to build on, refer to and advocate for other community employment resources for the Towns youth. A formal change was made in joblink services being delivered by Tompkins Workforce New York and County Youth services from Tompkins Community Action as youth without advocates appear to have gotten lost in the system. Fortunately all youth involved with , the JYC program did obtain some type of employment because on ongoing monitoring , and my staying abreast of developments in youth employment. Joint Youth Commission In September the JYC met to review and make recommendations on requests for proposals for the 2006 budget process and passed motion was made for the following recommendations: Coddington Road Community Center $ 11,600 Learning Web $57,035 Cooperative Extension $23,863 WorkForceNY $2,265 Town Youth Work Corps $ 5,108 Town Youth Employment Program $ 8,867 Cayuga Nature Center Partnership Program $ 800 Community Unity Music Scholarship $ 500 $110,039 Total As these figures are within 2006 budgeted allocations line adjustments will be made to reflect these numbers. This months meeting was hosted here at the Town. The discussion was primarily about the intangible benefits of various program offerings and methods of effectively commxmicating those benefits. It was also agreed that JYC would offer a meeting for themselves, select providers of service and other commissions to hear a presentation by Kris Bennett of County Youth Services on social norms around the use of substances. Recreation Partnership Although both Sandy and Will attended there was no quorum at the October meeting. The group discussed probable changes in representation that will occur with elections. Although at this point in the budget process the county has allocated a one-quarter share to offer CORE plus programs to all county residents at the same cost it was as an "over the target" request. {Not necessarily ongoing). This is a concern especially if Ulysses withdraws. Fall and Winter Program Brochures are now available in the Foyer of Town hall. The second page describes the city's new software system to manage and process all registrations. This system should offer current, accurate information on users of facilities/programs. ' \ / f ) / ^ Recreation and Human Service Committee Kathy Schlather, Executive Director of the Human Services Coalition came to the committee to discuss her agency's budget request to the Town and describe services available to Town residents. No formal action was taken by the committee because Cathy had to leave before the meeting was concluded and she was meeting privately with Kathy subsequent to the meeting. Activities by staff including the town historian were reported and discussed. It was agreed most of the next agenda will reviewing the past. Ongoing and future role of the committee. Related Activity I continue attendance as requested at youth employment providers meeting where we discussed the Transition of youth and referrals from TCA to Tompkins Workforce. David George, Assistant Town Historian and Coordinator of the history project completed the hiring of 5 Town youth and completed an orientation with them on 10/17/05. The pool of youth interviewed were youth who had applied for employment with the Town through the student youth initiative program and advertising specific for these positions. Selections were based on interest, availability and residency in the Town as well as experience with the youth. The youth are all activity participating and the project underway. I anticipate a highly successful effort. I also attended other meetings to support planning activities and information to prevent duplication in community programming.
