AGENDA ITEM — East Shore Drive Water Improvement Improvements Project
Mr. Weber explained the need for a resolution from the Board for the application to
the State .
TB RESOLUTION NO . 2010=218 : Approving Application to New York State
Comptroller for Permission and Consent for the Town of Ithaca East Shore
Drive Water Improvements Project
WHEREAS , on August 9 , 2010 , the Town Board approved an Amended Public
Interest Order establishing and authorizing the Town of Ithaca East Shore Drive
Water Improvements project , and
WHEREAS , the permission of the New York State Comptroller is required for this
project because its estimated expense exceeds one -tenth of one percent of the full
valuation of the taxable real property in the area of the Town outside of the Village of
Cayuga Heights , and
WHEREAS , the regulations governing submittals to the New York State Comptroller
for permission for such projects require the Town Board to make certain
determinations about the submittal and project ; now therefore be it
RESOLVED , that the governing Town Board of the Town of Ithaca does hereby
make the following determinations :
1 . The attached application was prepared at the direction of the Town Board .
2 . The Town Board believes the contents of the application are accurate .
3 . The Town Board has determined that the improvement and expenditure
for which permission is sought is in the public interest and will not
constitute an undue burden on the property which will bear the cost
thereof.
4 . The cost of the proposed improvements will be assessed against a
benefited area , all real property to be so assessed will be benefited by the
proposed improvements , and no benefited property has been excluded .

AGENDA ITEM — Discuss Coal Tar Litigation
Mr. Engman explained the language of the agreement and the next steps in the
process . The Board discussed the wording of the grace period on the payment and
how to protect the Town from the City not making a payment . The Board will meet
with Lorraine Schmidt to discuss particulars on Friday December 3rd at 3 : 30 p . m .
TB RESOLUTION NO . 2010=219 : Approval of the Settlement of First Energy v.
City of Ithaca
WHEREAS in 2009 the City of Ithaca was named as a third -party defendant in a
lawsuit initially involving First Energy Corp . and New York State Electric & Gas Corp .
( NYSEG ) , regarding liability for the cost of remediation of contamination at a
property in the City of Ithaca referred to as the First Street Site , which is now the
location of the Ithaca Area Wastewater Treatment Facility ( IAWTF) and
WHEREAS by Agreement dated December 29 , 2009 entered into between the City
of Ithaca , the Town of Ithaca and the Town of Dryden , said Agreement being titled
"Agreement As to Legal Defense Costs and Damages ( if any) Associated with a
Lawsuit against the City of Ithaca Regarding the Ithaca Area Wastewater Treatment
Facility Site , " these three municipalities , as joint operators of the IAWTF , agreed to
specific apportionments of potential legal defense fees and/or legal damages
resulting from that aforementioned lawsuit and
WHEREAS the City, together with the IAWTF members including the Town of
Ithaca , retained special counsel to provide a defense in this matter, namely , the law
office of Menter, Rudin & Trivelpiece , of Syracuse , New York and
WHEREAS special counsel , in consultation with the IAWTF representatives , has
negotiated a proposed settlement of this matter, which settlement is recommended
by special counsel and the Attorneys for the IAWTF Joint Operator Municipalities ,
including the Town of Ithaca , in order to limit the legal costs and to avoid the risks
and unknowns of trial (and potential appeals)
NOW THEREFORE BE IT
RESOLVED that the Town of Ithaca hereby approves of the attached settlement of
the case of First Energy v . the City of Ithaca and be it further
RESOLVED that the Town 's portion of the above-described payments shall be made
from the appropriate account (s) of the IAWTF , according to the terms of the
"Agreement As to Legal Defense Costs and Damages ( if any) Associated with a
Lawsuit Against the City of Ithaca Regarding the Ithaca Area Wastewater Treatment
Facility Site" duly executed by the Town Supervisor on December 9 , 2009 , and that
Page 3 of 7
the first payment be made by the City on or about December 1 , 2010 and be it
further
RESOLVED that upon final approval by all parties of the apportionment of costs
among the three parties the Town of Ithaca's share of the settlement be transferred
from sewer fund balance to a reserve fund to obligate these monies for payments of
equal amounts per year for each of ten ( 10) years .
MOVED : Rich DePaolo SECONDED : Susan Riha

Absent- Levine Motion passed unanimously .
AGENDA ITEM — Finance Position Interviews
Mr. Engman reported that interviews for three candidates will be on December 2"d
and 3 beginning at 4 : 30 p . m .
AGENDA ITEM — Report of Town Officials
Public Works — Mr. Weber reported that he had met with Clarity Connect regarding
their proposal to place broadband antennas on the Sapsucker Woods water tank .
The antennas are magnetic and relatively small . Mr. Engman stated that he had
received letters in support of the antennas from residents of the area already. The
issue is that the funding is through a grant and they need a resolution from the
Board indicating that the Town is in favor of the antennae in concept at least by the
end of December. Discussion followed .
AGENDA ITEM — Committee Reports
Town City Meeting — Rich DePaolo reported that he had met with Jennifer Dodson
from the City and discussed the concept of meeting to talk about Town -City issues
with development and traffic etc. The County is also willing and it is a matter of
deciding how big the group should be and what type of staff support there will be .
Mr. DePaolo thought that there should be a small group meeting first to set topics
and priorities and the Planning Committee should discuss bullet points to have ready
at the first meeting so it is productive , not just talking around and around .
Planning Committee
Ms . Riha reported that they discussed the Scenic Views Report and that is being
referred to the Town Board to refer it to the Planning Board .
Codes and Ordinances Committee
Mr. Goodman reported that they were working on the conservation zone language
and timber harvesting language as well as the definition of garages . Mr. DePaolo
asked about fences and biological corridors in the conservation zone discussions .
Discussion followed and Mr. Goodman thought they were covered but he will review
the fence law again .
Page 4 of 7
Comprehensive Plan Committee
Mr. Engman reported that they are reviewing written sections now and they are
making good progress .
Intermunicipal Committees
Bolton Point
Mr. Engman explained that there is some debate about the billing format and they
may be changing to postcard billing which will also be consistent amongst all the
partners . Bolton Point receives a lot of complaints about the current carbon billing
and residents not able to read the printing etc . The current format is also very
expensive . Discussion followed .
Youth Services Funding
Mr. Engman stated that we need to start talking about the programs and staffing of
them as Marnie Kirchgessner leaves . He also reminded the Board that the County
did pass their budget with the $ 147K for Youth funding and therefore the Board
needs to think about whether we are willing to commit in concept to allocating the
additional funds ; a resolution of intent as discussed at previous meeting (s) .
ITCTC
Mr. Kanter reported on Cornell 's funding for transportation and how monies have
been shifted around and the fact that requests can be submitted at any time and
small requests under $50K can be expedited . Something to keep in mind .
Discussion followed .
Forest Home Traffic Calming
Mr. Engman commenting that the first light fixture is up and it looks very nice . Mr.
Stein spoke up from the audience and stated that the speed bumps were great and
seemed to be making a difference in the speeds traveled . Ms . Riha stated that she
doesn 't and they are dangerous when people slow down to 20mph . Mr. Engman
said that is the point , but she rejoined that the speed limit on the road is 30 mph and
people therefore have the right to go 30 mph . Mr. Engman stated that he has
received comments from residents and commuters very unhappy and very happy .
Discussion followed .
TCCOG
Mr. Engman reported that the health consortium is up and running and the dog
licensing changes are in process . There is also an effort by the local clerks to
establish a local spay-neutering program so we can keep the state assessment
monies local . The enumeration is complete with the Town increasing by
approximately 30% and other municipalities are up 90% - 200% . These results will
help in the negotiations between the municipalities and TCAC regarding sharing the
costs for dog control more evenly.

AGENDA ITEM — Committee Structure
Mr. Engman explained his initial idea . He felt that we have our standing committees
-but we haven 't been able to focus on what we really wanted to get done and he
indicated those as ad-hoc committees . Therefore , with two standing committees
that could break out specific topics that should be focused on as ad -hoc committees
until the topic is resolved . Short term and focused . Discussion followed . -
Mr. DePaolo thought the committees would just be twice as large with twice as much
business to conduct . There would also be a consolidation of influence to particular
chairs . Mr. Engman responded that how it worked out this past year, there were the
same three members on PW and Planning and he asked how that worked out .
Discussion followed .
Ms . Leary thought keeping the standing committee structure the way it has been is
working . She likes the idea of the ad-hoc committees and the flexibility of choosing
where ones interests lie . She disagreed that there are too many committees or too
much time spent working . She felt that we are a growing town and the work is there .
Mr. Levine thought that it was good to brainstorm but he didn 't feel he was spending
too much time at committee meetings and breaking them up into ad- hoc focused
meetings sounds like a good idea . He also felt that staff time would be wasted
sitting in larger committees waiting for their specific subject to come around . He also
reminded the board that some members have limited availability during the day so
the larger standing committees would not be available to those members . He felt
that it was great that issues are identified for the ad-hoc or they could also be folded
into an existing committee and be a focused , stated agenda item .
Mr. Engman felt that under the current structure , there are not places for Human
Resources , Town Clerks , or Information Technology, so there needs to be
somewhere for those topics , and he was concerned that the ad -hoc topics will not be
addressed under the current structure . The topics are policy issues that will take
board member time , not so much staff time .
Mr. DePaolo agreed with Mr. Levine , stating that he would be willing to take on ad -
hoc topics and he asked for department head input .
Mr. Weber thought the Public Works Committee was more reactive than proactive ,
where the Planning Committee is proactive so combining the two would be a timing
issue . Right now the agendas are very full as they are . Mr. Kanter agreed , stating
that the functions of the two committees are very different and coordination for
overlapping subjects is important and can save both staff and board member time if
done well . Discussion followed .
Page 6 of 7
Ms . Hunter thought the Town had had a busy year with all the personnel changes
and we should have ad-hoc committees and to set goals for ourselves . She felt the
committees were functioning well and members were getting up to speed well .
Mr. Goodman stated that he actually prefers one longer meeting than two shorter
meetings because of the driving but sees the pro's and con ' s because of staff time .
He did remind the board that he was interested in stepping down from the Park &
Trails Committee so maybe we should look at where that could be combined with
Youth or as an ad -hoc committee .
Ms . Riha stated that she hears what everyone is saying and maybe the ad - hoc
subjects could be assigned to a standing committee and broken out from there .
She thought the interfacing or overlapping some of the committees is helpful .
The Board had a lengthy discussion on cross-coverage at committees both in impact
and members and the pros and cons . The fact that most of our committees are
reactive instead of proactive right now because the Comp Plan is not complete and
will drive a lot of what the Town does needs and does .
In summary , Board members thought the current system was working well and the
past two years have been very busy because of the Comprehensive Plan and
numerous staff changes . The Town is growing and busy , and the ad-hoc
committees seem to be a good idea to focus on a particular action item .
Mr. Engman stated that it sounds like the next step would be to prioritize the ad -hoc
topics and decide whether to combine them with standing committees or determine
who would like to take them on as a separate committee . He noted that the Fire
Protection is very touchy and political and will be very involved and really needs to
stand on its own . Also everyone needs to give some thought on what other
committees they want to be appointed to . Committee Structure will be put on the
December agenda .
