Pledge of Allegiance .
AGENDA ITEM #1 Persons to be Heard and Board Comments
Tom McDonald addressed the Board about the pathway from East Hill Plaza to the
Summer Hill apartments . He thanked the Board for paving the path but reminded the
Board that the residents are still concerned about the lack of lighting . He handed out
letters from Conifer and Best Western (Attachments 1 & 2) stating that Mr. Weber had
indicated he could possibly work with other interested parties . Mr. McDonald also noted
that now that it is paved , they have seen vehicles using the pathway as a shortcut to the
apartment complex which poses a threat to residents in wheelchairs and using walkers
as well as pedestrians . He also wanted to reiterate his request for a pedestrian
controlled light at the crossing from Rite Aid to - East Hill Plaza as well as his concern
about batteries running low and beeping and finding some way for the Enforcement
Officers to track their shelf life .
He also had a new concern regarding the lack of lighting at the Maple Ave entrance
onto Pine Tree Rd . This area is heavily traveled by pedestrians and people using TCAT
and it is dangerous and not lit at all .
Supervisor Engman thanked Mr. McDonald and stated that the Town would look into his
concerns .
Board comments — Councilman Goodman reported that Eco Village has been
approached to apply for an EPA showplace grant . They will be working with the County
and possibly looking at the County-owned property near the Biggs complex for an Eco-
Village-density project/development ,
Supervisor Engman asked to add a discussion/update on the Black Diamond Trail to the
agenda . The Board agreed .

Councilwoman Hunter reported that she has drafted a letter to CHA regarding mitigation
fee questions and sent it to members for their comments . She asked that discussion of
the letter be put on the July Study Session agenda . .
AGENDA ITEM #2 Report from County Legislature and City of Ithaca
County Legislator Peter Stein — Mr. Stein talked about the increased cooperation
between the town and the county. He is encouraged by that and discussed concerns
he has heard from residents about speeders on Hanshaw Rd and the possibility of
working with the town and the Sheriff' s department to do something about that . Since
the Town does not have its own police force , he thought maybe we could work together
to find a coordinated effort to control the speeding . Board Members DePaolo noted that
widening streets may invite higher speeds , and Board Member Riha spoke about
topography and the need for real data on speeds because sometimes the perception is
not the reality . Supervisor Engman agreed that hard data is needed and added that the
Forest Home traffic calming measures may be a test case for other locales .
There was no one from the City present .
AGENDA ITEM #3 5 : 45 Public Hearing re. : A Local Law Amending Chapter 230 of
the Town of Ithaca Code, titled " Streets and Sidewalks" , to Revise Provisions
Related To Excavation and Construction In Municipal Roadways and Highway
Rights-of-Way
Supervisor Engman opened the public hearing at 5 : 56 p . m . There was no one wishing
to address the Board on the topic , and the hearing was closed at 5 : 57 p . m .
Discussion focused on Section 230-3 Prohibitions and the interpretation that a resident
would not be able to do general yard work without a permit . Mr. Weber thought the title
made it clear that it applies only to excavation and construction ; some board members
wanted it clarified .
Councilman Levine offered an amendment to add the words " in connection with
construction or excavation " in the Section 230-3 paragraph 1 after the words "other
person or entity" to clarify the intent . Councilwoman Riha seconded the amendment
and it passed unanimously. Motion was then made and seconded to adopt the local law
as amended .
a . Consider adoption

AGENDA ITEM #4 Consider Authorization for Town Supervisor to Sign MOU with
Town of Dryden for the Sustainability Planner Position

AGENDA ITEM #6 Discuss Draft Stream Setback Law
Councilman Goodman stated that this has been a very long and involved process with a
lot of feedback and comments from residents and committees . The Board talked about
fertilizer and grazing and those that do so now can continue . Ms . Ritter stated that it is
not a perfect law, but goes farther than we have and looks at quantitative things like tree
p 9 q 9
cutting . Mr. Bates added that it is an educational law and the hope is that people will
read it and think, I can do that to help protect the stream . The enforcement is more
through cooperation and education . It was not designed to be a "we ' re going to find you '
and ticket you " kind of law. There is a lot of judgment calls in this , but hopefully through
education , people will want to comply with this law. Discussion followed .
a . Consider Referral to the Zoning Board of Appeals , Conservation Board and

AGENDA ITEM #7 Discuss Dog Enumeration (See Attachment)
Supervisor Engman gave an overview of the proposal stating that the Town is required
to conduct a census as part of the animal control contract with Tompkins County Animal
Control (TCAC) . He went over the memo from the Clerk's office regarding . costs .
Discussion followed . It was noted that NYS repealed their requirement to do a census
back in 1979 , but everyone still thought we had to do one . Supervisor Engman added
that during contract negotiations with TCAC via TCCOG , each municipality agreed to
conduct a census which will then be used to develop a ratio of dog population and
human population to have a more fair distribution of costs . We think we will pay less
when this is done . Discussion followed . Ms . Terwilliger explained how the enumeration
will work . The Board had questions on the estimate numbers and house versus
household . Ms . Terwilliger noted that it is household not house . The estimates were
based on households owning dogs now and responding to the mail-out census and we
are eliminating certain know complexes such as Overlook. Councilman DePaolo asked
about talking to vets and getting numbers of dogs from them . Ms . Terwilliger stated that
she had talked to her friend who is a vet and she didn 't think clinics would do that , and
people also take their dogs to many different vets not necessarily in Ithaca. Discussion
followed . There was some discussion on who should sign the contract and the
resolution was changed to authorize the Supervisor to sign the contract .
a . Consider approval to conduct a dog enumeration
TB RESOLUTION NO. 2010-128 : Approval to Conduct a Dog Enumeration
WHEREAS , the Board has decided it would be in the best interests of the Town to
conduct a dog enumeration as outlined by the Town Clerk's office ,

on the terms described in the attached memo with the cost not to exceed $ 15 , 000 .

AGENDA ITEM #8 Discuss Changes to the Personnel Manual

considering changes and did doing so deter union organization . Ms . Drake responded
that not all of the differences between the two are being changed to be the same .
Some are just easier to have everyone the same for administrative purposes .
Discussion followed . Councilwoman Hunter noted that the Personnel Committee did
discuss costs to the Town , union issues , and the like .

AGENDA ITEM #11 Black Diamond Trail Update
Supervisor Engman requested the agenda item and gave an update . Essentially, there
is no money to finish the bridges . There was a summit meeting with all involved parties
— State has the money for the planning of the two bridges needed to complete the
project but they have lost the money to build them or the remainder of the trail for a total
of approximately $2M . They talked about possibilities to fundraise with businesses and
foundations to build the bridges and then get the Public Works departments together to
talk about building the trails . The State Parks say they can come up with $700- $800K
worth of materials and the PW departments would have to build the work into their
budgets and work plans . He went on to say that they are just exploring it and wanted
comments , ideas or feelings on the possibility . The section from Taughannock State
Park to Cass Park is ready to go except for the bridges .
TB 7- 12-2010
Page 11 of 15
Mr. Weber added that he would be hoping that someone else would be responsible for
obtaining all the permits associated such at curbcuts , wetland permits , etc , with the
state so we are truly only building it . Mr. Kanter added that the SEQR is already done .
Councilman DePaolo asked if other municipalities are willing to join in and Supervisor
Engman responded that there would have to be an agreement with the other DPW 's
and the smaller town may not have any equipment to do the work or maintain them so it
would be an intermunicipal agreement . The State Parks have stated they do not have
any equipment . He added that it would be a great boost to tourism and he attended a
Black Diamond Trail public hearing and there were a lot of people who said they would
ride to work if the Trail was done . It has some strong selling points , but it would be a
challenge .

AGENDA ITEM #13 Report of Town Officials
Department of Public Works
Mr. Weber reported that the County is now charging for brush drop off and we are now
seeing a lot more at our location . We may need to have the outside contractor who
takes care of our brush come in an extra time .
Mr. Weber reported that the boom mower bid came in under budget and will be
awarded to the lowest bidder. Ms . Brock asked about the Board approving the award
which started the discussion about the process for approving and awarding equipment
bids . Ms . Terwilliger noted that the resolution for this particular piece of equipment
covered the solicitation and award . Discussion followed . The Board discussed who has
the authority to award bids . Some Board Members want to see the evaluations of the
bids and award them as a process ; others do not want to have to see routine types of
bids again and again . There is a monetary threshold where the Board must approve an
award and Ms . Terwilliger added that there is a difference between projects and
products . Ms . Brock will do some research on the law and the issue will be discussed
at the Study Session .

Dear Mr. Weber: '
Please be advised that I am in receipt of your letter received March 29, 2010 in regards to the
Summerhill Walkway Lighting request that was submitted from the residents of Ellis Hollow Apartments.
We are delighted that the Town of Ithaca has worked on resurfacing the walkway as this has made it
easier for our residents to maneuver with their walkers and has made it much more accessible for all
involved . Ellis Hollow management is pleased as we can now maintain the walkway during the winter
months without damaging our equipment.
In your letter you stated that the Public Works Committee considered our request to light the walkway
but decided to follow the established policy and not light the walkway, however you did mention that
the Town of Ithaca would be willing to work together to accomplish this goal if the manager of the
apartment complex would like to do so .
We are in hopes that you will see the need for this lighting to maintain the safety and security of all of
our residents and the neighboring businesses that use the walkway to travel back and forth to do their
business .
Thanking you in advance .
Sinc rely,

Attention: Public Works
My name is Terry Terry and I have been the General Manager here at the Best Western
University Inn since it' s opening in 1987. I have seen many changes in the area, and had
welcomed all .
I do want to express my concern for the sidewalk near East Hill Plaza. I do believe
lighting on this walk is essential for everyone ' s safety. My office window faces Summer
Hill Rd, and I see so many people walk thru our parking lot to the Plaza. People cut thru
our lot because it is well lighted.
Please feel free to contact me if you should have any comments, or questions. Thank
you, for your attention to this very important matter.
