Agenda Item No . 8 - Discuss and consider the Ithaca Area Waste Water Treatment
( IAWW) Plant budget
Mr. Carvill clarified the IAWWTP tentative budget total operational charge to the Town is
$ 1 , 165 , 000 , saying that this is approximately a $ 118 , 000 increase over 2008 .
Councilman DePaolo asked if the proposed increase was based upon usage . Mr.
Carvill thought it was based upon the flow capacity through the line .
Mr. Walker explained that the charges for sewer plant funding are based upon the
previous year' s consumption as measured by the sewer flow meters . But he cautioned
that the sewer flow meter system is not functioning properly at this time so numbers
have been estimated by using water meter readings in the service areas . Mr. Walker
explained that the Town has added approximately 400 units to the system , which
contributes to the 26 % usage increase . Mr. Walker noted that a fair amount of flow is
generated by Cornell , but it does not appear in the summary ( such as the Mouse
House ) . He said that he is trying to get that number from Steve Thayer at the City.
Councilman Stein stated that Cornell has its own water supply, asking how does the
City know how much water is used ? Mr. Walker explained that Cornell provides their
water meter readings to the City.
Supervisor Engman added that the sewer flow meters are being worked on , which will
provide a more accurate reading . He thought that they would have solid information at
the next meeting .

receiving a 4 . 0 % increase .
Supervisor Engman moved and Councilman Stein seconded the proposed resolution .
Councilman DePaolo asked if the concept is to keep up with the cost-of- living over time .
Supervisor Engman replied that this is the first year he ' s been on the Commission ; he
was not sure how the Commission determined the percentage increase . Ms . Drake
explained the Commission looks at the CPI and compares the increases of the 5
membership municipalities . Councilman Stein verified that it is a " pass-through "
resolution . Supervisor Engman called for a vote .

Agenda Item No . 13 - Consider a resolution amending the basis upon which
annual wage increases are determined for non- bargaining unit employees
Supervisor Engman explained that the Personnel Committee discussed the resolution
provided in the Board ' s packet.. . The committee members thought that it was confusing
and too restrictive ; the proposed change recommends that the Consumer Price Index
be used as one of the basis upon which the annual cost of living adjustment for non-
collective bargaining staff is determined .
Page 8
Final
Supervisor Engman moved adoption of the proposed resolution . Councilwoman Leary
seconded .
Councilman DePaolo asked Supervisor Engman to enumerate some of the criteria for
which salaries would be considered . Supervisor Engman explained that one item would
be union negotiations . He thought that there was some desire on the part of the Town
to not allow Town Hall employees to fall behind other employees . He explained that the
Board also takes into consideration current situations . Last year the proposed cost of
living adjustment was increased by 0 . 5 % because the Board felt that the situation had
changed .
Councilman Stein added that the point of the resolution , when it was adopted two years
ago was for the Board to commit to following the cost of living . He did not want to pass
a resolution that did not mean anything . Councilman Stein preferred to rescind the
resolution and offered that as an amendment . Councilman DePaolo seconded .
Supervisor Engman called for discussion . Councilwoman Leary thought that the original
proposal before the Board was important because it' s important to state the CPI as a
criterion . She felt strongly that it was fairer to peg the increase to the CPI . Supervisor
Engman added that an advantage of the resolution was that it indicates which CPI to
use , the Urban Wage Earners and Clerical Workers CPI -W ,
Councilman Goodman stated that the resolution changes the index being used because
the 2006 resolution described the average for the Northeast US Urban and US Cities
population less than 50 , 000 . He wondered what the theory was behind the change .
Councilwoman Leary explained it makes it more appropriate for the non-bargaining unit
employees . Ms . Drake added that the Town was using that CPI , but then narrowing it
down to NE Urban and Cities less than 50 , 000 .
Councilwoman Hunter recalled that the Personnel Committee did not want to
recommend rescinding the resolution . The Committee did not want employees to think
the CPI would not be a factor in their wage increases .
Councilman Stein remembered that the Board had a fair amount of discussion with
regard to what CPI was the right CPI . He thought a reasonable way to make an index
was to average the Northeast and the National Small Cities . Councilman DePaolo
added that the Town was not bound to use a CPI ; it was a statement of preference not
policy.
Councilwoman Leary stated that it Would send a bad message to staff to rescind the
2006 resolution , especially since the CPI is currently around 6 % . She would not
support rescinding the resolution for that reason .
Supervisor Engman recapped that the resolution on the floor was to rescind the cost of
living resolution . With no further discussion , Supervisor Engman called for a vote .

TB RESOLUTION NO. 2008-201 : Rescind TB Resolution No. 2006-211, Adopt
Consumer Price Indexes for use in Calculating Town Cost of Living Adjustment
RESOLVED, that this board rescinds TB Resolution No. 2006-211 , Adopt Consumer
Price Indexes for use in Calculating Town Cost of Living Adjustment.

SECONDED: Councilman DePaolo
VOTE: Supervisor Engman, nay, Councilwoman Leary, nay; Councilman Stein, aye;
Councilman Goodman, nay; Councilman Levine, nay, Councilman DePaolo, nay;
Councilwoman Hunter, nay. Motion Failed.
Councilman Stein proposed an amendment to the original motion , which was to go back
to the 2006 resolution . Supervisor Engman was swayed by the argument to change the
CPI because the group of employees has changed . The Public Works Department
employees are now covered under the collective bargaining unit . Councilman Stein
agreed that it was one factor, but the Northeast is a different region and small cities was
also different.
Councilwoman Leary asked if it would be difficult to consider all three CPIs . Ms . Drake
explained that the three CPIs could be averaged . After further discussion , Councilman
Stein added the National CPI -W to his proposed amendment . Councilman DePaolo
seconded . Supervisor Engman called for a vote—carried unanimously .
TB RESOLUTION NO. 2008-201a : Re-establish TB Resolution No. 2006-211 and
add the Consumer Price Index - Urban Wage Earners and Clerical Workers
RESOLVED, that this board re-establishes the use of TB Resolution No. 2006-211 as
the bases upon which Annual Cost of Living Increases are determined, and be it further

Supervisor Engman called for a vote on the original resolution with amendment .
TB RESOLUTION NO. 2008-202: Adopt Basis upon which Annual Cost of Living
Increases are Determined
WHEREAS, the Personnel Committee has reviewed resolution 2006-211 from October
16, 2006, in which the calculation for Cost of Living adjustments was established, and
WHEREAS, the Personnel Committee recommends restating the calculation to reflect
the actual practice; and therefore, be it
RESOLVED, the Town Board of the Town of Ithaca hereby declares the intention to use
the average of the "Consumer Price Index – Urban Wage Earners and Clerical Workers"
(CPI- W), the Northeast U. S. Urban, and U. S. Cities Less than 50, 000, as one of the
basis upon which the annual cost of living adjustment for non-collective bargaining staff
is determined.

Agenda Item No . 14 - Consider wage scale for non- bargaining unit staff
Supervisor Engman moved and Councilman Levine seconded the proposed resolution .
Councilman Stein stated that the Town already pays its workers considerably more than
workers in similar jobs in the local market. He remembered , depending upon the
classifications , that the Town paid 10 % to 40 % more . Councilman Stein did not think it
was fair to the taxpayer to increase the gap . He called the County, City, and Cornell to
get their proposed increases , which were 3% and 4% . He noted that most taxpayers
were not going to get a 4 . 5 % increase . Councilman Stein moved an amendment to the
proposed resolution of a 3 . 5 % increase . No second—motion died .
Councilwoman Hunter stated she was not a fan of the wage scale increases because it
did not include performance based increases , which she felt was problematic . She also
noticed an increase between the lower paid employees and the higher paid employees .
Councilwoman Hunter explained that part of the rationale for the 4 . 5% increase was the
relatively low percentage increase staff received in 2008 . She requested that the wage
scale and performance based increases be looked at in the future .
Page 11
Final
Councilman DePaolo asked what precedent the proposed increase was setting for
collective bargaining . Supervisor Engman explained that the Personnel Committee
discussed the issue . He thought the Board should remember that in a union agreement
it is over a period of years . At the end of the union contract , if they feel they' ve been
underpaid for those years , compared with the non- union employees , the union will try to
recoup it as part of the next union agreement .
Councilman DePaolo asked if giving staff a 4 . 5 % increase would set a precedent . Ms .
Drake responded that the increases have varied from year to year. The Board looks at
the CPI and the tax rate as part of the consideration . Ms . Drake explained that the
Employee Relations Committee discussed the issue and the employee representatives
expressed that the employees would like a safety zone range of 3 % to 5 % . They
realize the Town cannot pay 10 % if the CPI goes that high .
Councilwoman Leary added that is why the Committee wanted to keep the CPI up front
to bring a rationale to wage increases . She explained that the Town has been a leader;
they don 't necessarily look at what other municipalities are doing—they do what they
believe is right .
Councilman DePaolo asked what happens if the CPI is 1 %? He wanted to know if
employees would still expect 3 % to 5 % . Councilwoman Leary responded that the wage
increase was low last year because inflation was much lower.
Councilman Stein explained that he spent a lot of time two years ago analyzing wage
increases ; at that time his conclusion was that in the 5 years previous to that the Town
had always exceeded the cost of living increase . He thought that was good because
the workers are the Board ' s friends , but the Board also has to balance who is paying the
bill with the benefits .
Councilwoman Hunter asked Ms . Drake if the wage increase also increases the hiring
minimum and job rate wages . Ms . Drake responded yes , the job rate increases at the
same percentages . She added that there have been years when the hiring minimum
rate has not been increased . Councilwoman Hunter thought that it was problematic to
have the hiring rate "jacked - up" each year with the raises . She asked that the hiring
rate and job rate be looked at in relation to what is given as raises on an annual basis .
Ms . Drake explained that it is a $4 range between the hiring minimum and the job rate .
A new employee is hired at the wage of hiring minimum or between hiring minimum and
job rate . It takes the employee 3 years to get to job rate ; after 3 years employees are at
job rate .
Councilwoman Leary pointed out that the money paid to employees does not disappear
from the community. Town employees spend money locally; they are not generally
taking trips to Europe . The Town is supporting the local economy when they are paid a
living wage .
Page 12
Final
Councilman Goodman , referring to his question about what influenced Bolton Point' s
wages , asked , what were some of the factors that influenced the Personnel
Committee' s decision to recommend a 4 . 5 % increase . Supervisor Engman responded
that some of the other Commissioners are from smaller communities and they are going
to have smaller increases in their communities . Generally the smaller municipalities
give much smaller raises--there is a different expectation . Supervisor Engman stated
that one of the factors that drove the committee to recommend 4 . 5 % was the fact that
they, already know that many of the Town ' s employees cannot live in the Town of Ithaca .
It is a very expensive Town in which to live . They are trying to keep up as best they
can , but it is a very difficult community to find a house in and to be able to afford it .
Another influence was the CPI , which was pushing 6 % from July 2007 to July 2008 .
Councilwoman Leary added that the largest inflation has been in gas , heating fuel , and
food—very basic necessities .
With no further discussion , Supervisor Engman called for a vote .
TB RESOLUTION NO. 2008-203: Approval of 2009 Wage Scale for Non-Collective
Bargaining Positions
WHEREAS, on May 7, 2001 , the Town Board established a Wage Scale, which
set the Hiring Minimum and Job Rate for each job classification, which are to increase
each year based on a Cost of Living Adjustment; and
WHEREAS, after evaluating the Consumer Price Index (CPI- W) as well as other
factors, the Town Supervisor and Human Resources Manager in preparation for the
2009 Tentative budget recommended to the Personnel Committee a 4. 5% Cost of
Living Adjustment for all classifications of the Wage Scale for Non-Collective Bargaining
positions; and
WHEREAS, the Personnel Committee reviewed and discussed the recommendation
and recommends a 4. 5% Cost of Living Adjustment for all classifications of the 2009
Wage. Scale for Non-Collective Bargaining positions (see attached); and
Now, therefore be it
RESOLVED, the Town Board of the Town of Ithaca does hereby approve a 4. 5% Cost
of Living Adjustment for all classifications of the 2009 Wage Scale for Non-Collective
Bargaining positions.

Agenda Item No . 15 = Consider 2009 Elected Officials ' Salaries
Supervisor Engman proposed a 4 . 5 % increase for elected officials' salaries .
Councilwoman Leary moved and Supervisor Engman seconded the resolution.
Councilwoman Leary explained the Town Board adopted a policy some time ago that
the elected officials' salaries would follow along with the staff salaries , which is why they
adopt staff salaries first . As the person who made the resolution two years ago ,
Councilman Stein explained that it was awkward to vote yourself a raise . The idea was
to tie the public officials ' raise to the raise of the staff so that they are not making an
independent decision .
With no further discussion , Supervisor Engman called for a vote . Councilman Stein
voted against the resolution and explained that he was voting against the resolution
because he thought it was awkward for him to vote no for raising staff wages and then
vote yes for raising his own salary.

Agenda Item No . 16 - Consider adoption of the Town of Ithaca 2009 Preliminary
Budget – See attachments
Supervisor Engman suggested the Board discuss the budget before adopting it . He
added that the Board has a lot of material in front of them and negotiating through it is
quite a task . Supervisor Engman turned to Mr. Carvill , stating that Mr. Carvill had some
ways to look at the information that may make it less onerous .
Mr. Carvill provided the Board with a synopsis of the budget ; See attachment #1 . Next
he walked the Board through the budget synopsis .
During the discussion of the Water Fund summary, Mr. Walker brought it to the Board 's
attention that the benefit assessments number was incorrect . Mr. Walker and Mr.
Carvill were going to review the benefit assessment rolls to confirm the number on the
summary sheet.
Referring to the Fire Protection Fund summary, Councilwoman Hunter asked if the
Town maintains its own fund balance for the fund and if so , what is done with the fund
balance . Mr. Carvill responded that the Town does have its own Fire Protection Fund
balance . He explained that historically the fire department comes to the Town and asks
for another fire fighter or asks for an equipment purchase . The fund balance would help
the Town pay for those expenses without affecting the ensuing year' s tax rate . It also
gives the Town the ability to look at other options to consider.
Councilman Stein asked if Mr. Carvill had a number for the increase in expenditures .
Mr. Carvill did not have the number. Councilman Stein stated that he would like to see
what the percentage increase is for all expenditures . Mr. Carvill said he could provide
Councilman Stein with that information .
Mr. Carvill then turned the Board ' s attention to the hand -out titled "Tax Table—
Illustrating the Tax Increase Due to Increased Property Valuation from 85 % Valuation to
100 %" and walked them through the table . See Attachment.
The Board and Mr. Carvill then reviewed the hand -out entitled "Summary of all Principal
Debt Outstanding as of December 31 , 2008" and "Constitutional Debt Limit" . See
Attachment #2 . Supervisor Engman emphasized that the Town tries to " pay as you go"
and have very little debt, which was why he did not try to reduce the tax levy this year.
He explained that keeping the money coming in without raising the tax rate puts the
Town in a better position so that they do not have to borrow funds for other things . He
added that the 2009 budget puts the Town in a good position for the 2010 and 2011
budgets .
Mr. Carvill stated that as the Board moves forward into 2009 in its operating year, the
Capital Projects Committee , Finance Committee , Supervisor Engman and himself have
looked critically at each of the capital projects and how much they would cost . He
explained that due to the financial fall-out on Wall Street , long-term bonding is going to
Page 15
Final
be very .expensive . There is also confusion as to who would underwrite and insure the
bond issues .
Councilman Stein asked if the Town was increasing its debt by 50 % in 2009 . Mr. Carvill
confirmed that he was correct. Councilman Stein thought that seemed like a lot . Mr.
Carvill explained that $3 , 000 , 000 of the proposed debt was for the East Shore Drive
water line .
Supervisor Engman added that the Town is not sure how much the East Shore Drive
project is going to cost if the City should decide to go to Bolton Point for its water
supply. The Town also has the opportunity to spend several hundred thousand dollars
on sidewalks and trails because there are other partners putting up most of the money.
Councilwoman Leary explained that sidewalks and trails have been identified as a high
priority among Town residents . It is also part of the Town ' s efforts to be more
environmentally sensitive and reduce dependence upon cars . In response to
Councilman Stein ' s comment regarding the debt increase , Councilwoman Leary
commented that , when dealing with a low base , 50 % sounds like a lot .
Councilwoman Hunter asked if the Hanshaw Road , Honness Lane , and Warren Road
capital projects were contingent upon the Coddington Road project . Staff confirmed
that none of the projects were contingent upon the Coddington Road project.
Supervisor Engman added that the Hanshaw Road Reconstruction project was
contingent upon the Coddington Road project . The Town would not be expending the
money if the project did not occur.
The Board discussed the Warren Road Walkway project . Mr. Walker clarified that the
$498 , 010 included in the budget was reimbursed by the State except for $ 102 , 000 . He
added that the Town also planned to use the Public Works Department staff for the
project and that time was already budgeted for. Councilman DePaolo asked if the
reimbursed money was guaranteed . Supervisor Engman responded that the Town
would not be expending their share unless the Town was guaranteed reimbursement
through the contract. Mr. Kanter added that grant funds only dry up if the Town does
not follow through time-wise when they are supposed to .
Ms . Drake provided the board with the hand -out titled "Summary of Increases over
Preceding Year' s Budget" . See attachment #3
Ms . Drake stated that the health insurance for 2009 was budgeted at a 15 % increase
and the quote came in at a 15 . 5 % increase . She also received the State Retirement
System estimates . She proposed reducing the A- Fund budget by $ 17 , 000 , the B - Fund
budget by $9 , 000 , and increasing the DB - Fund for a $ 6 , 500 budget increase based
upon the . Retirement System estimates .
Page 16
Final
Supervisor Engman asked if the Department Heads had any items that they would like
to point out in their budgets . There being none , Supervisor Engman turned the
discussion over to the Town Board . He asked if the Board would like further information
or if they would like to talk about specific issues .
Councilman Stein would like a total for increases in the expenditures and a running plot
starting in 2002 of personnel expenses ( including fringe benefits ) year by year. Mr.
Carvill , responding to Councilman Stein ' s request , stated that the increase in expenses
was $ 316 , 683 between the 2008 and 2009 budget . Councilman Stein asked that the
information be provided to him as a percentage and in written form .
Councilwoman Hunter thought that the Board needed to get a grip on personnel costs .
She agreed with Councilman Stein , but did not think that there was anything that they
could do this year.
Councilwoman Hunter stated that she has trouble with the library and the SPCA. She
did not think that it was a good year for the Town to be paying $20 , 000 for the library to
be open on Sunday; she did not know how the library spent their money and the Town
did not have any auditing capabilities . Councilwoman Hunter talked with a County
Legislator about why the library did not have enough money and she was informed it
was because the library has a hard time collecting fines . She wondered if fines can be
levied to a tax bill and wanted a representative from the library at the next budget
meeting to answer that question . Councilman Stein commented that the presentation
given by Mr. Carvill is pretty clear—there are only 4 discretionary items that the Town
has . He thought the Board should be able to devote a significant amount of time to
listen to presentations and ask questions . Councilman DePaolo added that there are
many other discretionary items in the budget , but they didn 't rise to the level of $20 , 000 .
Supervisor Engman agreed . The items outlined by Mr. Carvill were new items or greatly
increased items .
Councilman DePaolo followed up on the library discussion and stated that there was
probably no single resource that was more valuable to the community than the library, in
his opinion . He said that it gives people an opportunity to acquire resources that a lot of
people do not normally have . He said that he talked with Janet Steiner about how
usage was determined for various communities and it is traced back to library cards and
circulation . Councilman DePaolo agreed with Councilwoman Hunter; the Town of
Ithaca pays a share through County taxes and is being asked to pay an equal share
again . He was more comfortable with proposal 2 , which proportions the expense based
upon the municipalities involved .
Councilwoman Leary thought of the main library downtown as the Town ' s local library.
She kind of agreed with Councilman DePaolo that the funding should be tied more
closely with usage . It was not a huge difference in the funding amount, but she thought
it made more sense . Councilman DePaolo added that a downside to that was the
County already allocated $20 , 000 in their budget and he wasn 't sure if that would cause
Page 17
Final
any shortfalls in the library' s budget . Councilwoman Leary did not think the City was
allocating funding for the library.
Councilman Stein asked to defer the discussion until. Ms . Steiner was present to answer
questions because he thought the Board would have the same discussion again at that
point . i
Supervisor Engman explained the reason he put $20 , 000 in the budget was because it
was a clean way of funding a certain number of months . The Town could fund four (4 )
months regardless of what other municipalities choose to do . He added that the County
already puts a substantial amount into the library. The City contributes approximately
$ 17 , 000 to the library budget . The Town has not contributed in the past and Supervisor
Engman thought it was a clean proposal to fund 4 months of the year. The Town could
also get good credit for it .
Councilman Levine , responding to Councilwoman Hunter' s concern about it being a
lean year to contribute , stated that he thought of it in the opposite way. He thought that
people need the library when they can 't afford to spend a lot of money at the bookstore .
Some people only have Sunday as a free day. Councilwoman Hunter wondered why
closing the library on another day in order to be open on Sunday was never discussed
as an option . She thought exploring more efficient options was important . The Town
did not seem to be working with the library to explore options for them to serve the
community in the most cost effective manner. Councilwoman Hunter added that the
community voted down a special library district because they did not want to be taxed
additionally for the library.
Supervisor Engman responded that in his studying of the issue , the library has looked at
which days they could close . Councilwoman Leary added that the budget request
narrative listed Sunday as the second highest use day . Councilwoman Hunter
wondered what the worst- use day was . Councilwoman Leary thought that all days were
pretty in demand for after school . She added that the library was well prepared this
year in their budget request to the Town . They came to the Town early with a concrete
plan . She was concerned , though , that other municipalities would forego contributing
because the Town started to contribute .
Councilman Stein moved that the Board ask T-CAT , the SPCA , and the library to come
to the November meeting . Councilman DePaolo thought that the SPCA was a
contractual arrangement. Supervisor Engman stated that he needed to explain dog
control . The Board should not be calling it SPCA ; it was not a proper way to describe it .
It is officially, " Dog Control . "
Councilman Goodman asked if the Board was adopting the budget on November 6 th
Supervisor Engman responded that the Board can adopt the budget on November 6th or
at the regular meeting on November 10th . Councilman Goodman preferred not to have
to vote on the final budget the day the Board is hearing presentations . The Board
Page 18
Final
discussed when to have presentations and decided to have the presentations on
November 6th and then the budget could be adopted on November 10th if needed .
Supervisor Engman explained that members of TCCOG met with the SPCA about dog
control that morning . It was not clear how everything was going to fall out, but there
seemed to be a consensus among the dog control providers and the municipalities
about how it should work. He explained that what would probably happen is the Town
would sign an agreement with the SPCA through June of 2009 . The SPCA would then
transfer its dog control responsibilities to Pet Playhouse and including , perhaps , one or
two dog control officers , vehicles , and animal catching equipment. The SPCA said that
they were going to get out of the dog control business within 3 years anyway. TCCOG
thought rather than wait 3 years , why not transfer it as soon as possible . Pet Playhouse
is willing to do all this . Supervisor Engman added that he visited Pet Playhouse early in
the morning and he parked on the hill overlooking the facility. The dogs were having a
blast ; they have a huge fenced in field and the dogs were having a great time running
around . He added that Pet Playhouse also has a daycare facility for dogs .
Supervisor Engman explained that there is plenty of room for expansion and they have
a barn that can be converted to another kennel . The kennel they have is a beautiful
kennel and is very well designed . The SPCA has said they will train Pet Playhouse
personnel to handle dog control .
The bad news—Supervisor Engman explained that other municipalities have agreed to
base the formula on human population , which means $3 per person . The SPCA has
been subsidizing the municipalities for 6 or 7 years , eating up all its reserves on dog
control . The Town has been getting a bargain for dog control for the past several years .
Supervisor Engman and Ric Dietrich , Danby Town Supervisor, reviewed the SPCA
books and thought $300 , 000 was not enough , but $300 , 000 was agreed upon . The
new formula would cost the town $ 54 , 000 in 2009 for dog control .
Councilman Stein understood that dog control was not a discretionary item and the
Board did not have an alternative . Supervisor Engman agreed . He felt that the SPCA
had done a very good job with dog control . Councilman Stein added that Supervisor
Engman forgot the good part , being that the Board does not need to think about this
because it is essentially an obligation . Supervisor Engman stated that he has spent an
enormous amount of time and energy on dog control and he is eager to get it settled so
the Town does not have to deal with it for the next several years . Councilman Stein
was convinced and did not want to have the SPCA come before the Board for a
presentation . The Board agreed with Councilman Stein .
Councilwoman Hunter asked Ms . Billings if the dog license fees in the Town were at the
statutory limit for what could be charged . Ms . Billings responded that the Town is at the
statutory limit for dog fees . Supervisor Engman added that TCCOG has talked about
going to the state and asking for an increase in the statutory limit .
Page 19
Final
TCAT—Supervisor Engman asked if the Board wanted to discuss TCAT . Councilman
DePaolo stated that the Town has identified reducing single occupancy vehicle uses
and increasing mass transit as priorities , but he wondered why TCAT was not a self-
sustaining entity and why they needed municipal subsidies to exist . Supervisor Engman
responded that it would be good to have more explanation about how TCAT works . He
explained that TCAT has 3 partners--Cornell , City of Ithaca and Tompkins County and
they are actually only small contributors to the TCAT budget . The 2009 proposal is for
each partner to pay around $ 8007000 each . The rest of the budget is funded by State
and Federal subsidies based on ridership and distance traveled . The rural towns earn
good chunks of money for TCAT where the Town of Ithaca may have a fair number of
riders , but don 't have the distance factor. Supervisor Engman did not feel that there
was good data for the Town to figure out what they should or could be paying . He was
reluctant to add $ 175 , 000 to the budget as TCAT had requested .
Supervisor Engman thought that TCAT was getting all the Federal and State subsidies
they could , but it was starting to get very painful for the 3 partners to put up any more
money ; yet the Town of Ithaca continues to grow and want more stops . He added that
the Town ' s contribution could lead to the Town having a voice with TCAT .
Councilman Stein stated that he was a great supporter of the library, but if given a
choice between the library and TCAT he thought TCAT was more important to the
future than the library. He does not like the nickel and diming of trying to figure out the
Town ' s usage . He is a big user of TCAT , but is never counted because he walks to
work and takes the bus home and therefore is counted as Cornell . Councilman Stein
agreed that the Town should have a voice , but thought that the Town should step up to
the plate and contribute .
Councilman Levine stated that what he liked about the library contribution was that the
Board has a tangible thing that they are telling their taxpayers what they are getting . He
wanted to know how the Board would present to its taxpayers what they were getting for
$ 50 , 000 . Supervisor Engman thought the Town would have to have a contract with
TCAT and the contract would list items the Town would like to have money spent on .
Councilman Stein did not think the Town would be helping TCAT if it were to give
money for additional services . He thought it was more important to have a seat at the
table rather than dictate how the money was spent.
Councilwoman Leary answered that for a seat at the table the Town would have to
spend a lot more money. She was looking at it as a transitionary time because at some
point TCAT would need to address a restructuring of its governance so that it is not just
made up of 3 large partners—all or nothing . She saw it as a bridge , a good -faith down
payment. Councilwoman Leary added that the Town is serious about decreasing its
carbon footprint and there is a lot of demand for bus service on the hills . Ithaca College
was talking about installing a swiping mechanism similar to Cornell so that students are
charged the fare . Councilwoman Leary expressed concern over the full partners taking
Page 20
Final
the money out of the pot if the Town puts money in . She would like to see what
happens with the budget talks to see how much the Town can or should put in .
Councilwoman Hunter asked what the Town could do legally . Supervisor Engman
explained that the Town would need to have a contract saying the Town would give
money and TCAT would do "x" for the Town . He thought the "x" could be pretty
nebulous . Councilman Stein added that the money could be passed through the City
without a contract.
Supervisor Engman agreed with Councilwoman Leary. If TCAT wanted to involve other
entities , then they would need to figure out how to get others involved in the decision
making . Councilman Stein thought that the Town ' s interest should be laid out to TCAT .
Then TCAT and the Town could figure out how to involve the Town .
Mr. Kanter suggested that TCAT and the Town go to Ithaca College and get more
participation from Ithaca College in TCAT . It would help with the issue of students
walking on the streets. At one point a few years ago Ithaca College did make some
effort to subsidize some enhanced service on the campus , but it only lasted a few
months .
Supervisor Engman added that Mr. Kanter and he had been participating in the
transportation and housing initiatives of Cornell . He stated that he was a big critic of
Cornell , but he has been very impressed with Cornell on both initiatives . He wanted to
get Ithaca College engaged in some way and did meet with President Rochon . He
made it clear to Ithaca College that they should be contributing towards fire protection
like Cornell does , as well as TCAT .
Supervisor Engman asked if the Board would like a presentation from TCAT and they
said they would .
The Board discussed whether or not they wanted Janet Steiner from the library to come
to the November 6th meeting . ( No real conclusion stated . )
Councilwoman Leary was interested in getting more information about TCAD ( Tompkins
County Area Development) . Supervisor Engman apologized for not getting the Board
the information that was given to him . It was mostly brochures that were hard to copy ,
but he had the information on his desk if anyone wanted to review it. He was impressed
with TCAD because they had done a fair amount of work in the Town , which has
resulted in increased revenues for the Town . He also looked at their Board of Directors
and there are some superb people on the Board that he has great respect for, which
impressed him . It is a group the Town has not engaged before . One of the things the
Town has not done is talk about economic development and jobs . He thought it would
be a way for the Town to engage with that community in order to start talking more with
them .
Page 21
Final
Councilman DePaolo added that the IDA has provided funding for some projects that he
felt was not in-keeping with their mission , which is ostensibly job creation . He would
want to make sure that if the Town is going to have some representation with TCAD that
the Town make sure that they are held true to their mission . They have circumvented
the job creation component in order to make back interest money on bonds and things
of that nature .
Supervisor Engman stated that 2 or 3 years ago TCAD took affordable housing as one
of their top priorities . He was impressed by their recognizing the need of affordable
housing as a key issue with businesses and jobs .
Councilwoman Hunter thought that the possible $ 1 , 000 contribution from the Town
would not make or break TCAD . She stated it was a bigger question the Board needed
to ask themselves ; is this an entity the Board wants to continue funding to on an annual
basis? Is this something the Board wants to open the door to ? She thought if the
Board funded TCAD this year then they would be back following years . Councilman
Stein added that even though it is only $ 1 , 000 , he would be interested in learning what
TCAD does .
Supervisor Engman interjected that there are 4 other towns with membership in TCAD .
Councilwoman Hunter asked what benefit the Town would receive by being a member.
Supervisor Engman was not sure , but thought that the Board could ask TCAD to make
a presentation at the November 6
Councilman DePaolo made the observation that the Sliding Tax Rate given to the Board
only starts with the current tax rate and goes up . He thought that the current tax rate
should be in the middle , with the Sliding Tax Rate scale showing lower and higher tax
rates .
Referring to the Large Equipment Line in the Highway Fund , Councilman DePaolo
asked if he could have a break down of " large equipment" . Mr. Noteboom explained
that the Public Works Department has an equipment replacement program and the
equipment is split across many line items . Equipment scheduled for replacement
include : a truck , flatbed truck, grasshopper mower, sidewalk plow tractor. Mr.
Noteboom offered to give the Board the narrative explanation of the funds , which breaks
down all line items the Public Works Department works with .
Moving on to Fire Protection , Councilman DePaolo stated that he would like to see
more transparency regarding what the Fire Department budget is all about . He wanted
to know what the Fire Contract entails and how the money is spent . Supervisor
Engman explained that the Town receives a monthly print-out of what has been spent .
He offered to provide a copy to Councilman DePaolo .
The Board returned to discussion of the Sliding Tax Scale and the impacts of
decreasing a tax rate instead of maintaining a tax rate .
Page 22
Final
Councilwoman Hunter asked about the decrease in fines . Are there less criminals
coming before the Town or are the judges being more lenient with fines? Mr. Carvill
responded it is a difference in fines given between the previous judge and the new
judge .
