Mr. Bill Sonnenstuhl came before the Board and read from a prepared statement (Attachment #2 ) . He wrapped up his comments by thanking the Town Board for allowing the neighbors to speak that evening . Ms . Patricia Page came before the Board and provided two color soil maps of drainage problems in the area . She then read from a prepared statement (Attachment 3 ) and explained the soil maps (Attachment 4&5 ) Ms . Page concluded her comments by asking the Board to continue the moratorium and to foster other options in lieu of the proposed development. Page 6 of 45 Town Board Minutes June 8 , 2009 Final Mr. Craig Ezra came before the Board and read from a prepared statement . He stated that it would be wise for the Town to extend the moratorium for 6 months during which time a final decision on Briarwood II could be made based upon the reports conducted and he urged the Board to do so . Councilman Stein asked Ms . Page what the significance was of the orange colored area on the soil map . Ms . Page responded that it was another soil type , but was unable to say which one . She offered to provide a key to the map to the Board . Ms . Susan Long came before the Board and stated that she has lived at 305 Salem Drive for 40 years . She said that her backyard borders Sapsucker Woods and she used to have a lot of birds behind her house. Ms . Long stated that she has spent between $25 , 000 and $30 , 000 on water damage . The back ditch on her property is spending water all the time . She could not imagine anything worse than having big houses behind her house and the retention right next door to her. Ms . Long testified that the entire first floor of her house has been flooded—ruining the hardwood floors ; her neighbors' houses have also been flooded . She said that the problem has been much worse since Briarwood was constructed . Ms . Jane Marie Law came before the Board and stated that she has lived at 16 Muriel Street since 1989 . She understood that the previous speakers have talked about the importance of preserving the wetlands , but that Cayuga Lake affects all of Ithaca and its watershed surrounds the Lake . Ms . Law stated that she has a 1 . 78 acre lot and Renwick Creek runs through it ; the erosion to the lot has been enormous since Briarwood I was constructed . She said that it is important to protect erosion in areas that feed into Cayuga Lake . Brown areas can be seen in the lake after big rainstorms . Ms . Law thought that everyone has the responsibility to think about the ecosystem holistically and the affect that the project has on the erosion of the existing streams in the Northeast . She then thanked the Board for their consideration . Mr. John Berger came before the Board and stated that he appreciates that there has been a lot of talk on the scientific and technical aspects of the issue . He said that water epitomizes something that may be missing when things are looked at from a legal standpoint . Water moves and it does not stay put . He noted that people are talking about how water is getting into their house , but others talk about how water is not getting into the wetland . People like to try to control the environment , but he thought people were starting to understand that ecology and the economy are not different from one another. He explained that the word ecology and economy have the same root- eco—and that means house . He said that these issues are minor when compared to issues that other people are facing around the world . Mr. Berger noted that there is a rising understanding that arbitrary lines cannot be drawn around things ; people are starting to get a sense that things are inter- related and decisions cannot be made on small areas of interest—things need to be looked at in a wider context . Page 7 of 45 Town Board Minutes June 8 , 2009 Final Mr. Arnim Meyburg came before the Board and stated that he has lived at 116 Salem Drive for 20 years . He commented that he did not know on what information the Board was going to use to make its decision . He hoped that the engineering survey conducted by the Town would not be one of the data points . Mr. Meyburg said that the survey was useless and that he wrote to both Supervisor Engman and Mr. Walker about it . The survey asked residents to . give information about their drainage and flooding experience during one year; he said that it did not take a rocket scientist to figure out that that gives one data point and one data point for one year. Mr. Meyburg went on to say that annual and seasonal fluctuations in weather are profound . He said that in recent years they have not had any serious blizzards or snowpacks that melted very rapidly and on which they also experienced serious rainfall . Whenever that has happened over the past 20 years , particularly since the new development upstream , there has been severe flooding problems on Salem Drive . Mr. Meyburg has called the Sheriff' s Office numerous times when Salem Drive was flooded and the front yards of Salem Drive were under water. He said that Mr. Noteboom and his team were always very responsive and sent out equipment to try to pluck ice plugs out of the ditches to accelerate the runoff. He thought that was the type of information that the engineering office should have collected . Mr. Meyburg went on to say that he has photo evidence of what he is talking about . He said that if the engineering department wants to collect information on evidence of flooding that they should go back at least 15 years . He wrapped up his comments by asking the Town Board to be careful in terms of the data that is used in reaching its decision . Mr. Larry Fabbroni , Briarwood II Project Engineer, came before the Board and expressed support for the extension of the moratorium so that facts can continue to be gathered . He thought that if they continue fact-finding , many things will be learned including where the water comes from that causes some of the problems that have been spoken to that evening . He gave the example of water from Briarwood I not traveling to Muriel Street ; he said that there are big misconceptions regarding the impacts from Briarwood I . Mr. Fabbroni stated that water from Briarwood I once went down a stream south of Maplewood Drive , but now the water travels down Maplewood . He noted that changes like that through no action of the developer would come out in additional fact-finding . Mr. Fabbroni thought that the studies conducted by the Town have been very thorough and lay groundwork for revisiting the project and building in more ecologic-sensitivity to the project and area . He pointed out that 8 of the 48 acres are wetland—not 48 of the 48 acres . He said that at one point 25 of the 48 acres were going to be donated to the Lab of Ornithology . The Lab thought that was a great gift because 17 of the acres were immediately adjacent to the existing Lab . Mr. Fabbroni thought that there was an opportunity to look at alternatives that would add to that acreage and deal with things like mosquitoes and impacts that people have spoken of, through the process . He added that this was a good opportunity for people to learn about the overall problem of drainage in the area and for people to understand what problems they have to deal with that are site specific to their home or the age of their home . Page 8 of 45 Town Board Minutes June 8 , 2009 Final Mr. Fabbroni reiterated that extending the moratorium would allow more time for calm discussion and engaging everyone involved in the matter. With no other persons interested in speaking , Supervisor Engman closed the public hearing at 6 : 40 p . m . Agenda Item No . 9a = Consider adoption of the above listed Local Law Councilman Stein moved and Councilman DePaolo seconded the proposed resolution of adoption . Attorney Brock pointed out that the third whereas clause on Page 2 references Local Law number 9 of the year 2009 ; 2009 should be changed to 2008 . Councilman Stein and Councilman DePaolo agreed with the change . Councilman DePaolo asked why the language , can be drafted and properly adopted by a specific date" needed to be used and if the Board was committing themselves to something by using that language . Ms . Brock responded no , the Town is not required to adopt any particular changes by that date . The language is included to explain and justify the extension of the moratorium . Councilman DePaolo proposed that " if necessary" be added after " revisions" to the third whereas from the bottom of Page 2 , Councilman Stein agreed with the change . Councilman Stein asked if there was any legal significance to whereas clauses . He asked if the law could be overturned if someone finds a whereas that is wrong , doesn 't make sense , or is contradictory. Attorney Brock explained that whereas clauses provide an explanation of the action and the resolved clauses tell what the action is . She thought that it would be better to be accurate in the whereas clauses ; she added that the question was hard to answer because it depends upon the inconsistency. Councilman Stein asked what the legal reason was for whereas clauses . Attorney Brock explained that whereas clauses provide an explanation of what the Town is doing and a record for the Board , public and court ( if challenged ) to understand what the Board is adopting or has adopted . Councilman Goodman suggested that the same change be made to the draft local law, under Section 1 , Findings and Purpose , Page 2 , paragraph m , add " if necessary" at the end of the paragraph . Councilman Stein and Councilman DePaolo agreed . With no further discussion ; Supervisor Engman called for a vote—carried unanimously.

The Coalition meets monthly and they work mostly on education . They have applied for a number of grants and are awaiting to hear about the grant rewards .

Kiley stated that there is some confusion on how to move forward on some aspects of stormwater and there is talk about establishing a stormwater coordinator for the entire ` county .

Mr. Walker added that the Town has never received a violation notice . Councilwoman Hunter asked who was being educated under the educational component of the program . Ms . Kiley responded that there is a list of people that things are directed towards ; she gave examples of putting articles in the newspaper and training and education programs provided by the Soil and Conservation District .

Motion Carried - Unanimous. Agenda Item No . 11 - 7 : 00 p . m . — Public Hearing regarding THE MATTER OF PROVIDING A PROPOSED PUBLIC IMPROVEMENT TO BE KNOWN AS THE TOWN OF ITHACA WARREN ROAD WALKWAY IN THE TOWN OF ITHACA, TOMPKINS COUNTY, NEW YORK PURSUANT TO TOWN LAW Supervisor Engman opened the public hearing and invited the public to address the Board . Mr. Sonnenstuhl came before the Board and spoke in favor of the walkway. He said that the neighborhood walkways are well- used and felt that it would be safer for children walking to school . He added that plans for the walkway, including the culverts for drainage , made a lot of sense . Mr. Sonnenstuhl suggested that a similar plan be considered for Hanshaw Road and looked forward to a walkway being constructed along Bluegrass Lane down to Cornell . Supervisor Engman thanked Mr. Sonnenstuhl for his comments and closed the public hearing . Agenda Item No . 1 l - Consider approval of PUBLIC INTEREST ORDER & BOND RESOLUTION : In the Matter of the Proposed PUBLIC IMPROVEMENT TO BE KNOWN AS THE TOWN OF ITHACA WARREN ROAD WALKWAY IN THE TOWN OF ITHACA, TOMPKINS COUNTY, NEW YORK PURSUANT TO TOWN LAW Councilman Stein moved and Councilwoman Leary seconded the proposed resolution . Councilman Stein stated that he walks around the area and the shoulder along Warren Road is very narrow. He thought that the walkway would be an improvement and was excited about the proposed pervious surface for the walkway. Page 14 of 45 Town Board Minutes June 8 , 2009 Final Supervisor Engman added that once the Warren Road walkway is connected to Hanshaw Road and then Bluegrass Lane , there will be a good walkway system that will allow people to get to work in a variety of different ways . He thought it would be a challenge getting through the area around Hasbrouck; he could not find a way to jog through the area other than skirting the edge of the Hasbrouck complex to the North Campus Trail . Councilman DePaolo asked how the Town will be reimbursed . Supervisor Engman explained that the Town will be reimbursed $323 , 000 from the State of New York for the walkway, but the Town has to spend the money up front and then be reimbursed . He did not know what the reimbursement schedule would be , which is why the Town is borrowing money to fund the entire project . Councilwoman Hunter asked if the Town will be paying down the debt incurred with the reimbursement . Supervisor Engman assumed that the Town would do that; he explained that the Town would be submitting bills as expenses are incurred . He added that the walkway needs to be completed before school starts because there is an educational program in the schools dependent upon the completion of the walkway. Councilman DePaolo asked if the reimbursement would be going directly to service the debt and not go into the general fund . Supervisor Engman answered that the Town would be borrowing the money through short-term financing and then would pay off the debt . Attorney Brock thought that Mr. Carvill ' s intention was for the Town to issue Bond Anticipation Notes first and then if needed , go to longer term bonding .

The packet also contained a single- page containing the changes Councilman Goodman made after the Board ' s study session in May. The changes reflect Board discussion at the study session . Page 20 of 45 Town . Board Minutes June 8 , 2009 Final Councilman Goodman then directed the Board ' s attention to the one page form before them that evening on the desk . He explained that it shows paragraphs K8 and K9 with the changes he made based upon Attorney Brock' s comments . Councilman Goodman pointed out that Attorney Brock suggested that "extensions" be removed from the parenthetical section of paragraph K9 . Councilman Stein confirmed that the permitted dock length is 40 feet; the dock length can be extended until it reaches a water depth of 5 feet or the maximum dock length of 50 feet , whichever comes first . The five foot depth is measured from the ordinary high water level . b . Consider a motion to amend proposed draft local law Councilman Goodman moved the amendment to the draft local law and Councilman Stein seconded . Councilwoman Hunter- asked what the other possible extensions are that would be on a dock other than a boatlift or a boat hoist .

Councilwoman Hunter then asked if the issue , when to measure the depth of water, had been resolved . Councilman Goodman directed Councilwoman Hunter' s attention to section K8 , second paragraph , second underlined phrase , and noted that the language addresses Attorney Brock' s concern about what water level is being discussed . Attorney Brock confirmed that the language satisfies her concern . Supervisor Engman expressed his opinion that the Board ' s previous extension of docks from 30 feet to 40 feet was a considerable change and that it better protected those who do not have big boats , those who do not have boats , and casual visitors who want to enjoy the lake without docks jutting out into the lake . He went on to say that shorter docks are safer for other boaters and more convenient for people who do not have large boats such as kayaks and canoes . He said he would not be voting for the amendment for those reasons . Councilman DePaolo asked Mr. Bates if he was comfortable with the proposed language from an enforcement point of view. Mr. Bates responded that he reviewed the proposed changes and Attorney Brock made comments similar to what he would have been making . He said that the language includes instructions on how it is to be measured and what the permitted lengths are . With no further discussion , Supervisor Engman called for a vote on the amendment — carried ( Engman and Hunter, nay) . c .

Supervisor Engman anticipated that a good number of municipalities would join the consortium . With no further discussion , Supervisor Engman called for a vote — carried unanimously.

I. am the president of the Northeast Ithaca Neighborhood Association .- Thank you for the opportunity to speak this evening in support of continuing the moratorium for another six months . On behalf of the neighborhood, I would . also like to thank the Town Board for the interest you have shown toward our 'concerns about the proposed Briarwood 11 development Those concerns have. .always focused =on three issues : 1 ) neighborhood :participation, the geologic makeup and ecology of the area, and drainage . Let me take a :few moments to address each of these : issues . First; we deeply , appreciate all you have done to support neighborhood input to , development in our community. We support preservation of the remaining woodlands and wetlands in the area of the proposed development as open space . During a continuation of the moratorium, we- encourage- the Towrr•-Board to take an active "role rin . , exploring innovative ways of achieving this goal . The Northeast Ithaca Neighborhood Association will also take an active role, working with the Town, the developer, and Cornell University to explore innovative solutions for preserving the woodlands and wetlands as open space . Second, our concerns have always been based on the geological makeup of the area and how the area' s ecological system works rather than the system ' s individual parts , — specific plants, birds, mammals , amphibians , and reptiles . The area has the most poorly draining soils in all of Tompkins County. As the US Geologic Soils Survey for Tompkins County notes, these poorly draining soils have "greater limitations and control land use" . It states : Generally, these areas are poor sites for housing. Water control is the outstanding management problem. These poorly draining soils are the reason that one finds the particular woodlands and wetlands in this area of the Town and why we oppose further development in this area. As the LeCain and Werier ecological study shows , the existing woodlands and wetlands are worthy of being protected. Ecologically, they control runoff of storm water. by . absorbing it, storing. it; and slowly releasing it either as ,water vapor into the atmosphere or as ground water. If development occurs in this area, these woodlands and wetlands will be seriously compromised; making them unable to perform their ecological functions . Preserving the woodlands and wetlands will do a better job of controlling runoff during rainy periods than the proposed engineering solutions of the developer, in the event the area is developed. The woodlands and wetlands will also be able to continue to provide an ecological buffer for the Lab of Ornithology, much needed habitant for the area.' s - birds, and an ecological corridor for plants and animals linking the Lab to the Monkey Run/Fall Creek Unique Natural Area. Third, there are serious existing drainage problems in the Northeast. These arise because of past practices in which developers were allowed to build on existing wetlands and to clear existing woodlands and because the engineering solutions they used for e drainage were inadequate and failed : The result has been cascading water problems down stream . This is well illustrated by the development of Briarwood I and Sanctuary Drive in the 1980s and 1990s , In both instances , they exacerbated existing drainage problems throughout the Northeast. The hydrology study undertaken by Milone and MacBroom finds that the Briarwood II development would increase impermeable surfaces (e . g. , roofs; driveways; and roads) which would increase the runoff in these poorly draining soils . It also concluded that the proposed engineering solutions .would not be adequate to control the runoff in periods` of heavy rain and would cause damage to the remaining wetlands . In this context, we support preserving the existing woodlands and wetlands in the area in order to prevent exacerbating ' existing drainage problems throughout the Northeast. We also appreciate the Town ' s efforts to help us solve existing drainage problems Please permit my neighbors to provide you with a few more details about our ecological and drainage concerns and why we are committed to working with the Town to % find- a way to conserve the` woodlands and wetlands .. Again, thank you . : Bill Sonnenstuhl ' 206 Winston Drive Ithaca, NY 14850 , June 8 , 2009 J I encourage the Town Board to extend the moratorium on the Briarwood II development . This is for many reasons , some of which have been already stated both tonight and in previous Board sessions . Therefore, I will just highlight a few of the most important points : WHERE WE ARE NOW : As a Landscape Architect, I have been involved with land development for many years . My experience has been that unsuitable developments go forward for a combination of reasons : boards change and the memory becomes shortened, concerned residents and neighbors (in this case, many, many who have shown up in the past) get tired and give up , the developer is persistent because of potential direct monetary gain, and the ensuing lack of inertia carries the development forward in spite of the future negative impacts to the-T-ewn and its residents . In the case of this development , there are many negative impacts that have been discussed, but I will focus on two as they are in my area of expertise : First - SOILS : For many years the Town residents in the Briarwood and adjacent neighborhoods have complained about the drainage problems . These are problems that are so inter-related that we do not have the ability to solve them on our own properties alone . It will take a complete plan that encompasses the entire area to solve these issues that affect people ' s lives in direct cost out of their pocket as well as by affecting property values . After many years of study, the Town still does not have a viable solution to this problem. In discussing our drainage problems , we need to talk about the basic problem in this area that is the underlying cause of the drainage problems , which is the soils and the fact that they are not suitable for continued dense suburban development . Soil map - derived from the designations in the Tompkins County Soil Survey — the Bible for agronomists and hydrologists . Orient — Sapsucker woods road — Darker green are the most poorly drained soils , medium green are somewhat poorly drained, the lighter green are somewhat moderately well drained . Ellery (now merged with Chippewa) series , which are the most poorly drained . Designation is Era — which are the Erie- Ellery soils . I would like to read a few excerpts from the Tompkins County Soil Survey regarding these soils . (Excerpts) It has been asserted in a previous meeting that most of the soils in the town are poor, so why is this any different . I have another map of the overall TC area, which shows that this area actually is different from the surrounding area. Therefore, development of this area must be viewed as unusually problematic . Second negative impact : WETLANDS History of the geology of this area — a series of wetlands that arc from Groton, into Lansing and ending at Hanshaw Road . Most of these wetlands over the years have been filled, which means that the few remaining are a precious resource, as pointed out in the recent study : Wetlands Protections in Tompkins County: Existing Status, Gaps and Future Needs. I would just like to share a few quotes for you from that study that I think are pertinent : " Local governments . . . " "Wetlands have buffer areas . . . In the case of this development, man �'%j acres of vegetation would be removed in the vicinity of e wet and buffer. Someof the problems with this were touched on in the Milone and MacBroom drainage report . In addition , large and deep retention basins would be constructed directly next to the wetland . With these two impacts , I don ' t know how anyone can argue that the wetlands would not be severely impacted by Briarwood II or any concentrated development in this area. The question is : Are we going to continue to allow the degradation, fragmentation and isolation of our Town wetlands - particularly in an area where severe drainage issues already exist? In conclusion , It is the Town that will be left with the responsibility, ongoing expense and liability of maintain the roads , stormwater system, and to prevent additional flooding . It is also the Town ' s role to protect the existing neighborhood and scarce remaining wetland and other ecological resources . The Town has 0%� },��~% hired consultants who have recommended protection of this area . Therefore, 44a- I encourage the Town to continue the moratorium to fteattrage-other options AAtj , in lieu of this development .

With Federal funds becoming available in the Tompkins County area Transportation Improvement Program (TIP), as a result of the Tompkins County Warren Road project receiving Economic Recovery funds , the Ithaca-Tompkins County Transportation Council (ITCTC) amended the 2007 — 2012 TIP to include the Forest Home Traffic Calming Phase I project, along ,with other projects , in the TIP. Eighty percent of the construction costs of the Phase I project will be paid for with Federal funds , with the other 20 percent paid for with local funds . The local share will be split equally by the Town of Ithaca and Cornell University (under the Cornell/Community Transportation Investment Initiative Program) . Pursuant to the New York State Environmental Quality Review Act (SEQRA) and its implementing regulations at 6 NYCRR Part 617 , the funding and construction of the Forest Home Traffic Calming Phase I project can be considered a Type II action because it constitutes "installation of traffic control devices on existing streets , roads and highways" [6NYCRR Section 617 . 5 (c) ( 16)] . Section 153 of the New York Vehicle and Traffic Law defines "traffic control devices" as "all signs , signals , markings , and devices not inconsistent with this chapter placed or erected by authority of a public body or official having jurisdiction for the purpose of regulating, warning or guiding traffic" . Speed tables and signs regulate the speed of traffic and the behavior of drivers . The entrance features , consisting of lamp posts on stone pedestals (or similar elements ) and speed tables also are devices that warn drivers that they are entering a traffic calmed area and further regulate vehicle speed and driver behavior. Entrance features are I considered to be an important part of an overall traffic calming strategy and plan. According to the Forest Home Traffic Calming Plan — Final Report, "Entrance features are arguably among the most important design elements of any traffic-calmed zone. They announce the beginning of the traffic-calmed area, and introduce drivers to the roadway design standards that follow ." The lamp posts are intended to draw drivers ' attention to the entrance feature, and are visible in advance, even at night. Therefore, the traffic calming features in the Phase I project are considered traffic control devices . According to the Attorney for the Town, even though the installation of traffic control devices on existing streets are Type II actions under SEQRA, some courts in New York have required that in certain circumstances , a municipality must conduct and document an internal administrative review of the environmental impacts of the proposed action. This memo constitutes such a review. Project Description: The overall Forest Home Traffic Calming Plan includes a number of measures such as crosswalks , walkways , intersection modifications , planting of street trees and other streetscape improvements to slow down traffic in this historic neighborhood and provide a safer environment for residents , pedestrians and bicyclists . In particular, the Phase I project that is the subject of this review involves the installation of six gateway entrance features , four mid- block speed tables , appropriate signage and other related elements to reduce vehicle speeds , delineate the traffic-calmed zone and enhance safety in the Forest Home neighborhood. These have been identified by the Forest Home Improvement Association and the Town of Ithaca Planning Committee as high priority elements of the overall Traffic Calming Plan. The gateway/entrance features would be established at all of the community' s entrances/exits to reduce vehicle speeds and to delineate the traffic-calmed zone. Each gateway feature would include lamp posts on both sides of the road, mounted on low pedestals made of stone or similar material . Traffic speed would be further controlled by an accompanying vertical deflection in the roadway surface with a speed table. The mid-block speed tables will be installed at identified locations on long, straight stretches of roadway to further slow down traffic in the neighborhood. The locations of these features are shown on the attached map which was excerpted from the Forest Home Traffic Calming Plan — Final Report (June 29 , 2007), page ii. Section 106 Review Pursuant to National Historic Preservation Act: The above-described traffic calming area is situated in the Forest Home Historic District, which is listed on the National Register of Historic Places . When use of Federal funding is proposed for an action located within an historic district or potentially affecting historic resources that are listed on the National Register, a review and determination regarding potential impact on historic resources is required pursuant to Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act. The NYS Office of Parks , Recreation and Historic Preservation (OPRHP) is the agency with responsibility for conducting such a review and making a determination regarding the possible impacts of an action on historic resources . The Town of Ithaca Planning Department requested a Section 106 Review for the Forest Home Traffic Calming Phase I project, and received a letter from OPRHP (dated April 15 , 2009 — see attached) , in which OPRHP indicates that it has determined that the Phase I traffic calming measures will not adversely affect the Forest Home Historic District or other historic resources , noting that the traffic calming measures proposed are reversible and may be implemented incrementally to evaluate their effectiveness . 2 A Review of Environmental Impacts : As indicated above, OPRHP has reviewed the proposed Traffic Calming project, and has determined that the project will not adversely affect the Forest Home Historic District or other historic resources . As indicated by OPRHP, the traffic calming features in the Phase I project are reversible and their effects on traffic can be monitored. The speed tables and entrance features can be installed without affecting the character of the historic district. The Forest Home Traffic Calming Plan recommends the use of gothic lamp posts in the entrance features . As indicated in the Plan, traditional, gothic—style lamp posts are a recognized historic design element in the Ithaca area. Colors can be selected to be compatible with other structures in the historic district, such as the steel truss bridges . Speed tables will be added to the existing pavement and are not expected to detract from the visual character in the historic district. The lamps at the entrance features will be at a pedestrian scale, and will have to meet the requirements of Chapter 173 of the Town of Ithaca Code regarding Outdoor Lighting, which is intended to eliminate problems of glare and minimize light trespass , reduce energy costs of outdoor lighting and reduce sky glare. Appropriate landscaping at the entrance features can also help to blend the features with the character of the historic district. According to the Plan, the speed table' s ramps are intended to be designed with a contrasting paving material, such as concrete, to help draw attention to the feature. Smooth pavement on the speed table will help to ensure that no unnecessary noise is created as vehicles pass over the feature. The speed tables are designed to allow safe access for bicycles and to not obstruct snow plows . It is not anticipated that the traffic calming features will have any negative impacts on traffic volumes or flow other than to reduce the speed of vehicles in the traffic calmed area. The speed tables are flatter, longer, and are not as noticeable as speed humps or bumps , and are designed to allow traffic to flow freely, while providing visual and physical cues , but not obstructions . The features are not expected to change the volume of traffic in the Forest Home neighborhood or divert traffic to other areas . According to the Plan, traffic volume reduction is beyond the scope of a traffic calming plan that focuses on a specific area such as Forest Home. "The problem of through traffic originates beyond the boundaries of Forest Home, and the corresponding solution must be implemented beyond the boundaries of the hamlet" (page 2 , Forest Home Traffic Calming Plan) . There is currently insufficient space for on-street parking in Forest Home, so parking will not be affected by the installation of the traffic calming features . No potential negative impacts are anticipated in regard to the potential for increased flooding or other drainage problems . The traffic calming features will be installed within the existing road rights-of way, and will be designed to allow for runoff to flow into the existing street drainage system. Speed tables will be installed over existing pavement and will not add to the impervious surfaces in the area. The entrance features will add insignificant amounts of impervious surface along the existing roadside. Minimal clearing of any vegetation will be necessary to install the traffic calming features . There are no known threatened or endangered plant or wildlife species that would be affected in this area, and no significant habitats or Unique Natural Areas that would be impacted. Forest Home is a developed historic hamlet. The Fall Creek natural area runs through the hamlet, but 3 installation of the traffic calming features will not be close enough to the Creek to have any noticeable impacts . The traffic calming project is designed to enhance the character of the residential neighborhood and to .improve safety and livability for its residents . The features are expected to have positive, not negative impacts on the existing neighborhood character. Conclusion: Based on the above review, it is the opinion of the Town of Ithaca Planning Department that the proposed traffic calming features in the Phase I project are traffic control devices as defined by NY Vehicle and Traffic Law , that the proposed traffic calming features will not have any significant adverse environmental impacts , and that the proposed project will not adversely affect the Forest Home Historic District or other historic resources . Based on these findings , Planning staff concludes that the proposed Forest Home Traffic Calming Phase I project is a Type 11 action pursuant to SEQRA, and that no further environmental review is required.

This presentation was the same presentation given to the TC Legislature on April 29th . It reflects the many challenges faced by county administration as well as all reciprocal agencies and .governments . Specifically, governments and human services agencies suffer the same decrease in revenues that cut across all sectors of the economy but the demands on services in the form of human services tied to economic distress (food stamps [+ 19 %] , welfare , Medicaid , TANF , child welfare , etc . ) are on the increase . Another disturbing trend , which the town is seeing as well , is the increase in retirement contributions , which the county needs to cover due to the shortfalls from employee contributions and investment earnings . The county saw 8 % of payroll devoted to these expenses in 2008 ; this will increase to 11 % in 2009 and 16 % in 2010 . With sales tax , state aid and county reserves decreasing , the county is left with no other alternative but to increase property taxes . The county has a policy of not increasing property taxes more than 3% and it also has a policy of not allowing its fund balance to fall below 5 % , leaving it in a position to make some very uncomfortable cuts in programming and personnel , but, as Joe explained , the County' s operations are already very lean , The County is left with looking at cuts in discretionary programs and services , which gets down to things like whether or not streets get plowed and pot holes get filled . Finally, there is a ray of hope in the, form of Stimulus ( FMAP) , which is providing Medicaid assistance to states in Tompkins County will derive $ 1 . 4 million in 2010 . This does not cover the overall shortfalls , and realistically, the county would need to increase property taxes by 11 % to cover all of. its expenses, which it will not do . Under Board business , we briefly discussed the Compass II -2 . 0 survey that was recently completed by the HSC for the United Way. The number of respondents is down from the last survey . Consideration is under way with regards to distribution of the final report ; one line of thinking is to make it available on the Web , rather than charge for the report. Previously, the charge for the report was $40 . .RECORDS MANAGEMENT ADVISORY BOARD At the May 21St RMAB meeting board members discussed the current method of `archiving ' e- mail records for easier access and it was decided that the Town Clerk will add a reporting line to her monthly report with a numerical count of FOIL requests received for that month . Cursory discussion about the e- mail archiver took place , but it was felt that discussion should be delayed until Lisa Carrier-Titti can be present to answer questions and discuss the Barracuda Software/Hardware system . Board members also tentatively suspended the July and August meetings , unless a need arises , making it necessary to meet before September. The next RMAB meeting will be held on Thursday, June 18tH Total Number of FOIL Requests received by the Town Clerk in May = 6 ETHICS BOARD The Ethics Board will hold its first meeting of the year later this month or in July. A meeting was originally scheduled for Tuesday, June 2nd , but one of the board members had a family situation that precluded our meeting .

The Committee also discussed the grant application submitted for the Blue Grass Lane Bicycle/Pedestrian Path between Hanshaw Road, Warren Road and Pleasant Grove Road, next steps for the West Hill trails that are in the planning stages , and setting up a meeting with Emerson to discuss the Gateway Trail . The next meeting of the Trail Committee is tentatively scheduled for Thursday, June 25 , 2009 at 11 : 00 a. m. 2 0 Agricultural Planning Grant: A Memorandum of Agreement was drafted by Planning staff, reviewed by the Attorney for the Town, and sent to Cornell Cooperative Extension of Tompkins County for signing regarding the provision of services by Cooperative Extension to assist the Town in preparing the Agriculture and Farmland Protection Plan. Agricultural and Farmland Protection Program Grant: The Town was notified by the NYS Department of Agriculture and Markets that our grant application for purchase of development rights on the Indian Creek Farm (Trumansburg Road) was approved . The Town will receive $205 ,224 from the State to acquire an agricultural conservation easement on the 42 acre Indian Creek Farm. The farm includes u-pick fruit and vegetables , a nursery, cider press , and farm stand. The Town will be responsible for a 'local share of $66 ,708 (to come from the Open Space Reserve Fund) . Forest Home Traffic Calming — Phase I: Planning and Engineering staff are coordinating efforts to advance the Forest Home Traffic Calming Phase I project that was approved by ITCTC in the TIP amendment (see description above). The Phase I project includes six entrance features and four mid-block speed tables to help slow down traffic in the Forest Home neighborhood. Federal funds will cover 80 percent of the project cost ($297 ,000) . The Town and Cornell will each contribute $37 , 125 as the local share of the project. The project must be approved by the NYS Department of Transportation and fully obligated by mid-September 2009 or the Federal funding could be lost. This was discussed at the May 26 , 2009 Public Works Committee meeting, and because of this short , timeframe, the Public Works Committee is recommending that the Town hire a consultant to complete the detailed design of the project. Consultant to Review Verizon Cell Tower Application: A consultant contract was drafted by Planning staff, reviewed by the Attorney for the Town, and sent to the selected consultant (William Johnson) for services to review the proposed Verizon cell tower on Five Mile Drive that is under consideration by the Planning Board. Verizon has deposited funds in an escrow account to cover the costs of hiring the consultant. Management Development Program: The Director of Planning attended a full-day management development program sponsored by the Town on May 29 , 2009 at TC3 Ithaca. Topics included "Performance Appraisals that Inspire" (Bob Blenn) and "Navigating the Rough Waters of Public Sector Discipline" (Roy Kotary). Stormwater Management Annual Report: Planning staff prepared the 2008-2009 Annual Report for the Stormwater Management Program, as required by the NYS Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC) .

Health and/or Dental Insurance : I continue to attend the committee meeting of TCCOG on the Health Benefit Consortium . Rates were reviewed compared to the Town's current health plan . The change over to TCCOG 's plan is a potential savings of $44 , 262 or 7%. Disability Insurance : No new claims to report . Submitted By: Judith C . Drake , PHR , Human Resources Manager Employee Relations Committee . Representatives Notes Suggestion Box comments were discussed . Picnic Table — All responses were very supportive . Kristin presented complete packet with diagrams , drawings and descriptions . The table (s ) would be located in the Buffalo St. window well . We would need stairs and a railing and picnic tables . Everyone was in favor and Kristin said she would check with Joe about cost estimates for materials and his labor. Kristin is also checking with the Building Dept . for permit(s ) . The information on costs needs to go back to the ERC and it depends on the amount whether the Town Board needs to approve it or it can be brought to Herb . (Check out the bulletin board ) Town Hall Office Temperature — All responses were positive for raising the temperature so the air conditioning would not be s0000 dramatic . Kristin talked to Joe about this also , and he said he would raise the setting to 72 . It is 70 now, and we will see how that goes . PW Diversity — Comment from PW in favor of more workforce diversity . Everyone agreed , and Judy stated that this is a Town Board stated commitment. PW Microwave — Some of microwaves are getting old and slow. Tee-Ann said she would take it to Fred and Herb as they, control the budget. . Follow-up on last month ' s suggestions PW Bigger TV for breakroom — Waiting till July for budget prep . PW Truck bay heat — Peter is taking it to Public Works Committee Scanning of documents — Kristin forwarding to Karen for Records Management Board Working from home — Currently on a case by case basis under Department Heads authority . May change once PW Director is hired . Communication Survey — Reps will scan and resend to all ERC members for next month . Other — Personnel. files . Asked about retention of contents . Judy explained that it is permanent on the advice of legal counsel . She stated that the last 18months are given when asked for and this would only be to Department Heads . Paulette was concerned that some incident would follow an employee forever whether the incident was accurate or not , or if accurate , the habit or behavior had changed and improved . Judy reiterated that it is on the advice of counsel and it would show the improvement if that happened . Paulette responded that it is probably good to comment on things you disagree with so there is a record then . TCCOG Health Benefit Consortium Update by Judy: The municipalities in Tompkins County have been working together on a health benefit consortium through a subcommittee of the TC Council of Governments (TCCOG) . The goal is to create a way for the municipalities to join together in bringing health insurance coverage to the employees by forming a self funded group . The sub committee has put a program together and is working with the NYS Insurance Department on the creation of what will be called the Greater. Tompkins County Health Care Consortium . The subcommittee is working on a RFP for a Third Party Administrator (TPA) that would provide the participating provider group and would administer claims . In the RFP it is stated that the providers needs to bring a provider group equal to if not better than the current Excellus BCBS provider group . Also they need to bring a first rate customer service piece. As for the Town of Ithaca the plan design matches and or enhances our current Blue PPO $ 10 co-pay plan . The preliminary rates for such a plan are less than our current rates or lower than they would be considering a typical 10- 15 % annual increase in the premiums . The preliminary numbers show that if our entire group as it is right now is moved to the Consortium that in 2010 the Town could save over $44,000. (see sheet) The Personnel Committee has reviewed the plan and rates and made a recommendation to the Town Board to , move forward with enrolling with the Consortium. The Consortium will be starting to take enrollment for January 2010 . The change would be pretty seamless for the employees minus having to complete a new enrollment form . There are no health exams required or any pre-existing condition issues . Of note is the loss of the "double" category. There will only be individual or family categories . Check out the 2009 vs 2010 Proposed cost/savings on the bulletin board . Y Network/Record Specialist Report June 8 , 2009 Website o New pages ■ Document, Maps & Publications : Centralized page for these items . • Online Water and Sewer Payments ■ Web Site Redesign o No movement on this item in May. Network • Discontinuation of email hosting through Time Warner has been delayed . The Records Management Advisor Board Committee wants an opportunity to learn more about this process (see RMAB paragraph below) • Public Works Facility 232 B&W copier has been upgrade to 7328 Color printer/copier. This upgrade was necessary as the lease on the 232 was expiring . Also the addition of engineering staff at PW will require better color printing and copy production . o Lease expiration of the Court office m20i machine is next month , but decision on whether go with the proposed Xerox Phaser 3635M is on hold until Town Supervisor speaks with Judge Klein . The Phaser 3635M will provide increased productivity, ease of use and a cost savings to the Town . Additional : Records Management Advisor Board ( RMAB) • Unable to attend May meeting . Per the minutes of the 5/21 meeting : Lisa if she can take some time at our next meeting to explain the reason for her preference in the Barracuda archiver. Also, if Lisa could explain the e-mail server, bringing it in - house, when this will happen and how it will improve things. . RMAB members are looking for as much education in this aspect as possible. i� OF ITIy TOWN OF ITHACA o y� _ - 215 N . Tioga Street, Ithaca, N. Y . 14850 1D 21 lo � www , town , ithaca. ny.us TOWN CLERK 273- 1721 HIGHWAY ( Roads, Parks, Trails, Water &Sewer) 273- 1656 ENGINEERING 273- 1747 PLANNING 273 - 1747 ZONING 273- 1783 To : Herb Engman, Supervisor Town of Ithaca Peter Stein, Councilperson Pat Leary, Councilperson Tee Ann Hunter, Councilperson Bill Goodman, Councilperson Eric Levine, Councilperson Rich De Paolo Councilperson From : Mamie Kirchgessner, Recreation and Youth Coordinator May, 2009 Activity Report On May 1 , 2009 The Town of Ithaca held a ceremonial opening of the West Hill Community Garden at Linderman Creek, The event was covered by News Chanel 10 and Tompkins Weekly sadly Krisy Gashler was assigned to a different story so only 2 news briefs appeared in the Ithaca Journal . In spite of gray skies there was no rain and there was a large turn out at the garden where Supervisor Engman, IC President Tom Rochon, United Way CEO James Brown and John Guttenberg planted a RPM donated native Eastern Redbud and Councilperson Tee-Ann Hunter, Property Manager Monica Pritchard and Student Intern Nic Tessoni cut the twine ribbon to officially open it. The gathering of over 50 then partook of luscious vegetable soup donated by Wegmans . Judy Drake coordinated the refreshments for the event making it a seemingly effortless event and thoroughly enjoyed by all of the participants. The details of actually starting the garden began. As soon as the fence started going up plot divisions and assignments had to occur with mulching of paths to control grass and weed growth. Public Works brought up the portable water tank as soon as the fence was completed. Whitmore did an outstanding job completing the job in four days and slightly under budget allowing for purchase of landscape fabric to deter rabbits and ground hogs who burrow under. Public response has uniformly positive. To share just one ! We just returned from the garden - our whole family and two sets of grandparents and we all had lots of fun ! Just wanted to say thank you for making this possible. Do you mean that we can plant more than one plot? Because we could use another one. A question : can we put up a low net-like fence around our plot to protect from rabbits? Thank you very much ! Daniil . Many donations, of many plants have been made. Really inspiring the effort. w I went to opening day for Babe Ruth League for use of Tutelo Field by Cal Ripken League and have checked in periodically with participants the season is scheduled to end but the Town has received an inquiry about the field ' s use for a girls Babe Ruth Sponsored league in which the Town actually sponsors a team . Relations continue to be positive. On May 9, 2009 I represented the Town of Ithaca tabling for the Youth Employment Network at the Finding Your Voice Youth Empowerment conference. The program was outstanding although attendance was not as strong as hoped for. Placing planners in a difficult situation given anticipated budget cuts yet a solid model to build on . The Youth Employment Network I participate in for the Town ' s Student Work Initiative program was also highlighted in an article in the May 18 Tompkins Weekly. The reporter was given my name as the source so while I informed her that was not the case she did close the article with a nice quote from me and a positive reflection on the Town of Ithaca. Requests for service continue requiring me to begin a "Wait" list at the 901" youth on May 29 , 2009 . Contact with the other partners even with stimulus funds places them in a similar position. In an interesting aside it was pointed out to me youth employment is probably the best way to stimulate the economy as they spend money ! On May 12 , 2009 the Town hosted the Community Foundation who held its annual meeting here. Again for the Town I received a warm thank you note from Executive Director George Ferrari , Jr. I was also introduced to Tommy Bruce the Foundation ' s incoming board chair and Cornell Vice President for Communications . It was after this event I was presented with extraordinary news about the garden fence cost and able to revise downward the Town ' s request to the Howland Foundation for garden expenses . On May 15 , 1 attended a very useful training for new work study supervisors. This year the Town was able to position itself for a 90- 10 percent split on wages resulting in my continuing to retain local Cornell Work Study Student Laura Komar as one of two garden programs director(s) . Nic Tessoni qualified for a no cost Work force position and will be working until the end of July. Although it maybe hard to imagine starting the garden has been incredibly time consuming with public inquiries, donation considerations and myriads of details . The students at little town cost provide a seven day a week presence at the garden addressing issues before they become problems. They are planting unspoken for donated plants and creating demonstration and communal areas assisting with public relations regarding the project. Thus relieving myself and/or public works with many details until a Garden Council to manage garden is built. As if that wasn ' t enough I received the following message and began a dialogue on providing on sight programming at Overlook through some of the Town ' s contracted partners.
