WHEREAS, New York State Department of Environmental Conservation is

of computer hardware, a dedicated phone line, and electronic access to a Town of Ithaca
bank account for the transfer of monthly license fees; and
WHEREAS, during the past seven years the Town of Ithaca has sold less than 100
licenses per year and generated an average of $83.43 per year in revenue for the Town; and
WHEREAS, licenses are available from the Tompkins County Clerk, the City of Ithaca
Clerk, and various retailers; and
WHEREAS, pursuant to conversations with New York State Department of
Conservation's Peg Sauer and Robert Schwank the Town has the authority to opt out of the
