1. Call to Order and Pledge of Allegiance
Mr. Howe called the meeting to order at 5:31 p.m.
2. Persons to be heard and Board Comments
Fire Chief Parsons gave his quarterly Report. (Attachment 1)
Mr. Molnar spoke in opposition of 5G. (Attachment 2)
3. Public Hearing regarding a noise permit application for LaTourelle & Firelight
Camps Outdoor Events (Attachment 3)
Mr. Howe opened the Public Hearing at 5:51 p.m.; there was no one wishing to address the Board
and the hearing was closed.
Ms. Hunter asked about adding a condition for compliance with executive orders to the permit.
Mr. DePaolo responded that he didn't think it was necessary and he is under legal obligation to
comply with whatever orders are in effect at the time and Mr. Wiggins has made it clear he is
going to comply.
Ms. Hunter responded that she would feel more comfortable with a condition on the permit.
Mr. Howe said that we are just hearing about slowly reopening and this is going to be a separate
process for businesses with large gatherings to submit plans so it should be covered there.
TB Resolution 2020-069: Noise Permit for LaTourelle Firelight Camps for Outdoor Events
with Music
TB 2020-05-11 Pg. 1
Whereas the Town Board held a public hearing on May 11, 2020 regarding the noise permit
application for outdoor events at LaTourelle and Firelight Camps for the upcoming season and
discussed same, now therefore be it
Resolved that the Town Board grants a noise permit, in accordance with all applicable County and
State Regulations and requirements, for LaTourelle/Firelight Camps for the events listed as
submitted with the following
Findings:
1. The waiver from the requirements of Town Code Chapter 184 for the above music event is
necessary for a valid purpose, because music might not be able to conform at all times to the
requirements of Chapter 184, and LaTourelle/Firelight Camps' Planned Development Zone
specifically allows for events/receptions, subject to or upon the issuance of any permits required
(Town Code §271-3B(e)(1),
2. The waiver is the minimal intrusion needed, because the amplification is needed to provide
dinner music to the area, and music is limited to no later than 10 p.m.; the entertainment is intended
to be and has proven to be unobtrusive given the location of the property, and
3. On balance, the need for and benefits of the waiver outweigh the needs and rights of the
surrounding neighbors to a peaceable and quiet environment, because the music is for a limited
amount of time on the specified dates.
Moved: Bill Goodman Seconded: Rich DePaolo
Vote: ayes — DePaolo, Levine, Leary, Hunter, Goodman, Bleiwas and Howe
4. Public Hearing regarding a proposed Public Interest Order, Subject to Permissive
Referendum: The Town of Ithaca Replacement Pumps and Piping for the Tertiary

Wastewater Treatment Facility, and Establishing the Town of Ithaca Replacement Pumps
and Piping for the Tertiary Treatment Phosphorus Removal System Sewer Improvement
Area
Mr. Howe opened the Public Hearing at 5:57 p.m.; there was no one wishing to address the Board
and the hearing was closed.
Mr. Goodman recapped for the Board saying that that the plant is over 40 years old and the pumps
are 20 years old and have reached their normal life span and this project is to replace the pumps.
TB Resolution 2020-070: Public Interest Order in the Matter of a Proposed Improvement for
the Town of Ithaca, Tompkins County, New York, Pursuant to Article 12-C of the Town Law,

Moved: Rich DePaolo Seconded: Eric Levine
Vote: ayes — DePaolo, Levine, Leary, Hunter, Goodman, Bleiwas and Howe
Added item: Approval of AOC Budget
There was some discussion regarding the budget that was attached and changing the corporate
names. Mr. DePaolo stated that the resolution states the correct figures.
TB Resolution 2020-071: Adopt 2021 PEG Access Studio Capital Budget
Whereas the 2003 Franchise Agreement between Time Warner Entertainment-
Advance/Newhouse Partnership (TWC), subsequently assigned to Charter Communications, Inc.
(d/b/a Spectrum Networks) after Charter's 2016 acquisition of TWC, and the City of Ithaca
authorizes Charter Communications to collect $0.15 per subscriber per month to be used for the
purchase of equipment for the PEG Access Studio; and
Whereas the Franchise Agreement outlines the creation of an Access Oversight Committee which
shall be responsible for approving the timing, use and amount of PEG access equipment acquired
each year over the term of the agreement; and
Whereas the Access Oversight Committee has approved a 2021 contingency capital budget not to
exceed $20,000; and
Whereas the Franchise Agreement states that participating municipalities, including the Town of
Ithaca, must adopt the annual PEG Access Studio budget by June 30 of the preceding year; now
therefore be it
Resolved that the Town Board of the Town of Ithaca adopts the 2021 PEG Access Studio budget
as approved by the Access Oversight Committee.
Moved: Rich DePaolo Seconded: Tee -Ann Hunter
Vote: ayes — DePaolo, Levine, Leary, Hunter, Goodman, Bleiwas and Howe
5. Continued discussion on Gateway Trail
TB 2020-05-11 Pg. 6
Mr. Thaete said this is a continuance of the discussion from the last meeting where the
recommendation from Fisher Associates regarding the box culvert. After that meeting, the
Engineering Department looked at the proposal after getting prices on the box culvert of $1 1OK,
and the proposal is to install two 36" diameter pipes side -by -side as a more cost -effect solution
and the pipes will work better on headway water than a box culver. He expects to have a resolution
for the June meeting.
Mr. DePaolo asked if this is not exactly apples to apples and are you saying that two 36" diameter
pipes is not going to mimic exactly what a 13' by 3' box culvert would have done, so there could
potentially be some headwater backup, but this is a cost effective compromise and mostly
functional?
Mr. Thaete said that is correct. He added that his department stands by our original analysis that
one 36" diameter would work but to address concerns affordably, we are looking to double the
capacity with two pipes. It will flow the same flow as the box culvert but there might be some
restriction as opposed to a single open box culvert.
Mr. DePaolo asked if there is a way to predict that restriction and if so, will it affect the elevation
of the water being constricted on either side of it?
Mr. Thaete said it is dynamic; the existing flow through the existing box culvert is roughly 1.5 feet
and with two 36" pipes, the headwater elevation is double that. But that is assuming that the water
will even rise that high because there is another release point at that same exact elevation 500' feet
away behind Home Depot. He said he could not imagine a 3' foot or doubling the headwater
elevation there without having the release further down come in to play.
Mr. DePaolo asked how much money we saved versus the box culvert.
Mr. Thaete said installation of the pipes is about $1 OK and the installation of a box culvert is going
to be $100K. He added that the department got actual estimates from vendors, so these are not
guesses. The size and shipping requirements for box culverts are the major causes of the
significant cost difference.
There were no other questions and the Board was in favor of having Fisher Associates going ahead
with revising the plans and cost estimates for the 2 pipes.
Added item: Approval of MOU with Town of Ulysses for Code Enforcement
Mr. Howe explained that the Town of Ulysses is working to hire a Code Enforcement Officer and
time is of the essence in this and the MOU is still being finalized.
TB Resolution 2020 - 072: Authorization for the Town Supervisor to sign an MOU with
the Town of Ulysses for assistance with Code Enforcement duties and mentorin2
Whereas the Town of Ulysses has an immediate vacancy for a Code Enforcement Officer, and
TB 2020-05-11 Pg. 7
Whereas the Town of Ulysses has begun discussions with the Town of Ithaca to provide support
in the interim for conducting certain time -sensitive Code inspections during the vacancy and
some mentoring of the person they hire, and
Whereas the Director of Code Enforcement has been involved in these discussions and is in
agreement with the assistance being offered as described, and
Whereas the Memorandum of Understanding is in initial draft form before the Town of Ulysses
Board with the concept as described above, now therefore be it
Resolved, that the Town Board authorizes the Town Supervisor to enter into a Memorandum of
Understanding, subject to approval by the Attorney for the Town, for intermunicipal assistance
for Code Enforcement duties and mentoring during the Town of Ulysses vacancy and start of a
new Officer.
Moved: Mr. Howe Seconded: Pamela Bleiwas
Vote: ayes — DePaolo, Levine, Leary, Hunter, Goodman, Bleiwas and Howe
6. Consider a Resolution of Appreciation — James Weber
TB Resolution 2020-073: Resolution of Appreciation — James Weber
Whereas, James Weber started his career at the town on October 21, 20019 as the Director of
Public Works/Highway Superintendent bringing over twenty-five (25) years of knowledge and
experience as a Public Works Director and licensed Civil Engineer; and
Whereas, Jim instituted many changes in the department to improve employee relations issues, as
well as creating efficiencies and modernization throughout the department which allowed the
department to better meet the needs of residents; and
Whereas, under Jim's leadership, the Public Works Department implemented a fleet replacement
program that established criteria and an evaluation tool to make educated decisions; and
Whereas, due to Jim's leadership and determination the town developed a comprehensive capital
improvement plan, which brought about significant improvements to the Town's infrastructure;
and
Whereas Jim was a very reliable and dedicated employee as he seldom was absent from work and
was known to hold his ground and defend decisions in the best interest of the Town and its
employees; and
Whereas, the Tow of Ithaca has greatly benefited from Jim's devotion, and his desire to serve our
community to make it a better place to live; and
TB 2020-05-11 Pg. 8
Where, after ten (10) years of dedicated service, Jim has chosen to retire from the Town of Ithaca
effective May 30, 2020; now, therefore, be it
Resolved, that this 11t' day of May 2020, the Town Board of the Town of Ithaca, on behalf of the
Town and its citizens, express its sincere appreciation and gratitude to James Weber for his
distinguished and dedicated service to our community.

7. Consider extension of Personnel Policy — COVID-19
Mr. Howe explained that this is an extension of the existing policy and recognizes that we are
bringing more people back but we continue to encourage those that can to work from home and
those with childcare issues may have to use Family Leave and other details from the last iteration.
Ms. Drake added that we are not sure when we are reopening, and this might be a good time to
discuss who makes that decision. The State made the decision that we had to close, but the County
is deciding which of their departments are reopening and when so is this a decision by the
Supervisor or the full Board or the Management Team.
Mr. Howe added that unlike the County, we are either opening Town Hall or we are not. He
suggested that if the Board is comfortable with it, leaving it up to the Management Team.
Ms. Bleiwas clarified that it would be the Supervisor's decision in consultation with the
Management Team.
Ms. Drake responded yes, that is what she meant and the intent of her question.
Mr. DePaolo asked if this constitutes a delegation of authority from the Board to the Supervisor
and is that for the duration of this pandemic or just for this resolution? Does this resolution expire?
Ms. Drake said it does expire and she assumed we would know more by the June meeting; some
things will probably be changing but others such as Family Medical Leave will remain.
The Board agreed with the intent of the Supervisor deciding on the opening and changed the
effective date through June 8fh which is the next Board meeting.
TB Resolution 2020-074: Approval of Modified Employment Policies Due to COVID -19
Whereas, the Governor through Executive Order 202.18 extended Executive Order 202.4 and

Town financially and that was sent out to all members and Ms. Drake has kept track of non -worked
hours paid due to COVID-19 and that number is $275,000.
Mr. Howe reported that as some point soon we will be asked to prioritize some Cayuga Lake
Watershed projects to what we would think should be a priority.

approved.
Mr. Goodman reported that we are getting close to closing on the Chip Welch house by Public
Works.

indication that our property tax revenue is in jeopardy with resident's inability to pay due to
COVID-19.

100% of our tax levy and the County will be responsible for any difference. Mr. Howe added that
he will forward Mr. Franklin's response to the board.

a) Vacancies and Retirements
• There were two unfunded Firefighters vacancies at the end of 2019.
• There were 2 Firefighters and 1 Assistant Chief who retired in February and in
March.
• There was 1 firefighter who separated from service in mid -March.
Page 2 of 7 - Fire Chief s 2020 First Quarter Report May 1 lth, 2020
There will be 1 Firefighter who will be retiring in June, 1 Firefighter who will
be retiring in July, and 1 Assistant Fire Chief who will be retiring in August.
b) Hiring/Promotions
In March, 1 Lieutenant was promoted to Assistant Chief to fill a vacancy
caused by the retirement of an Assistant Chief, and 1 Firefighter was
promoted to Lieutenant to fill the vacancy caused by the previous promotion.
• There were 3 firefighters hired to February to fill vacancies.
c) Firefighters on Extended Leave
There is 1 Firefighter who is on Injury Leave. It is unknown when he will
return to full duty. I have been notified that he will need surgical repair of an
injury.
• There is 1 Firefighter who is on Injury Leave until mid -June.
• There is 1 Firefighter who is on Military Leave until June 2"d 2020.
d) There 3 Firefighters were furloughed on May 3d 2020.
2) Budget Report
a) A 2020 Budget: Budget Summary for January through March 301h, is attached to
this memo.
b) Financial Impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the local economy is of great
concern for local officials. To address the deficits caused by reduced sales tax
revenues, the City has taken steps to contain costs and have made adjustments to
the City's 2020 Operating Budget. These adjustments reflect the Impact of 5.4
million dollars of anticipated lost revenue. There is a hiring freeze on existing
and future fire department vacancies, and 3 recruit firefighters have been
furloughed as of May 3rd 2020.
3) Operational Changes in Response to COVID-10 Pandemic:
a) Under the Mayor's directive, like all City buildings, fire stations are currently closed
to the public to help limit the spread of COVID-19. Though not taking visitors, each
station continues to be fully staffed with firefighters 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
Many members who were scheduled to be off have chosen to continue to work during
these times.
Page 3 of 7 - Fire Chief s 2020 First Quarter Report May 1 lth, 2020
b) Firefighters are now working 24-hour shifts, to limit the amount of interaction
between groups and to keep everyone healthy and able to respond to true
emergencies.
c) Twice daily temperature checks on all firefighters on duty, as well as constant station
and equipment cleaning to compliment the hand washing and social distancing that all
have been practicing.
d) The Fire Prevention Bureau suspended inspections of existing occupancies and
extended operating permits for 6 months. While Code Enforcement activities have
been deemed by Governor Cuomo's Orders as essential work, the Fire Prevention
Bureau has limited its activities to new construction and fire protection system
inspections. Once the Southern Tier begins opening businesses in May, the Fire
Prevention Bureau will begin inspecting existing occupancies under modified
procedures that will permit inspections with social distancing and face coverings
being worn. We will also implement a self re -inspection program that will allow
businesses to inform us of abatements of violations with video or pictures of the
abated violations.
e) Emergency medical responses are limited to immediate life -threatening injuries or
conditions, serious calls that are ranked D, and E in the dispatch system. These
include chest pain, respiratory distress, and other life -threatening emergencies. The
fire department is not responding unless requested to assist the ambulance to any A,
B, or C, lower priority calls. These include general illnesses, flu -like symptoms or
simple transports. The local ambulance will still handle these calls alone.
All steps taken are to ensure compliance with new guidelines handed down by the
State Department of Health Bureau of EMS and are being enacted by counties across
New York. These steps will help limit firefighters' exposure and ration valuable
personal protective equipment (PPE).
4) Grants and Donations
a) In 2019, we received a FEMA AFG grant to replace the Diesel Exhaust Extraction
Systems in each of the four fire stations. The new systems will be installed in the
summer and fall of 2020.
5) Apparatus
a) One Staff Vehicle was purchased in 2019 and placed in service in April.
b) One Aerial Platform Truck was purchased in October of 2019 and will be
delivered in October of 2020
c) One Pumper Truck was purchased in January and will be delivered at the end of
2020.

Hi Rich,,
As a local town resident, I am concerned that the city is seriously considering allowing 5G installation in
the area. If they pass this, is the town obliged to follow suit? Is there any talk of this on the town

Subject: Re: Question
Thank you for your speedy response, Rich. From last night's city meeting, itdoes sound like there isachallenge for local
municipalities. That said, other municipalities have challenged this (e.g. Santa Barbara CA, Keene NH^ etc) because of its
significant importance and potentially destructive effects. And Ithaca has been Anpm/n to stand Lip to national
authorities before, e.g. the sanctuary city debate.
Uanna lover and avid user of technology (and loathe extremist conspiracy theories), but the increasing evidence (literally
over is that 5G may have a much more powerful and potentially dangerous negative impact on
humamhee|th. This is why countries Such as Switzerland and Belgium have put its implemientation on hold.
If this is rolled out in Ithaca, my wife and l will likely - and reluctantly - be leaving the area for a more rural locale.
� implore you and the Board to take a stand against this.
Thank you.

Re: Question
Hi, Andrew. We're not obligated to follow anything the city does; we're separate municipalities. However, I don't think
local governments can prevent the installation of SG -- we are preempted by federal law. The only thing we can do is
regulate the appearance and location (within limits) of the facilities. We are working on such regulations now.

Subject: Noise Permits for La Tourelle and Firelight Camps - 2020
Date: Thursday, April 16, 2020 12:11:40 PM
Paulette,
Thanks for reaching out on questions regarding our noise permits. We submitted these requests
prior to the pandemic dominating our lives, and we all understand that there will be restrictions on
gatherings as our state and county begins to get us back to a new normal.
Please pass on the note below to the Town Board, along with my thanks for continuing their work
during these challenging times.
Could you also please remind me of date and time of May meeting and instructions to participate?
Thanks so much for all of your help — Scott
Town Board,
Paulette told me there were a couple of questions at the last meeting about the noise permit
application for events at La Tourelle and Firelight Camps, allow me to add some
information/comments:
The Firelight weekly music - if you haven't been to the site, this music is down the hill from the hotel
at the "lobby' tent of the campsite. This is 2-5 musicians with light amplification and is intended as a
pleasant way for campers to meet each other and for some local public/camper's friends to meet
and mingle.
As to the virus, we of course will be adhering to any and all regulations and restrictions regarding
reopening and holding social gatherings that come from the County and State. Some of the dates
for functions listed may very well not happen due to the restrictions and/or as in the case of
weddings, the party deciding to postpone their event.
We hope to be able to have these functions and this application at this time is to meet the timeline
the Board needs to process it, but I fully understand this is not a permit to move forward with any
function outside of guidelines and regulations regarding the COVID- 19 virus.
I will be available at the May meeting via ZOOM to answer any additional questions.
Thank you for all you do for our Town............................Scott
