• Review and discuss voluntary contributions to community organizations for FY-2018.
Contributions to community organizations will total $382,773 for 2018, an increase of 2.7% over
the 2017 budgeted total of $372,704. This includes a 2% increase for the Recreation Partnership
and Joint Youth Commission programs, and increasing the Town’s contribution to City parks from
$50,000 in 2017 to $55,000 in 2018. Bill Goodman explained he is increasing the contribution to
City parks to $55,000 as this puts it at half of the amount the Town contributed in 2014, prior to
the reductions beginning in 2015. He also noted we will leave $7,500 in the budget for the Gorge
Ranger Program at Six Mile Creek even though we don’t know yet if this program will exist in
2018.
• Review and discuss 2018 Fire Protection Contract budget for City of Ithaca.
We have not yet received the City’s Fire Department budget for 2018. The Town has budgeted
$3,175,000 for fire protection services through the City. Town staff is estimating that the total
expenditure for fire protection services with the City will be approx. $3,066,000 for 2017.
• Review and discuss 2018 Fire Protection Contract budget for Village of Cayuga Heights.
Fire protection services through the Village of Cayuga Heights will be $182,365.55 in 2018. This is
under the $200,000 original estimate by staff in the 2018 Ithaca Town Budget. The budget will be
reduced by $17,500 to $182,500.
• Review and discuss 2018 Budget for the Ithaca Area Wastewater Treatment Facility.
The 2018 preliminary budget for the Ithaca Area Wastewater Treatment Facility is $4,291,272 .
With estimated revenues of $1,212,909 and appropriated fund balance of $100,000, the total
contribution required of the partners is budgeted for $2,978,363. The Town’s share of the 2018
3
IATTTF budget is $1,261,783, which is over the amount of $1,225,000 originally estimated by
Town staff. The 2018 budget for the Sewer Fund has been increased by $40,000 to fund this
increase.
• Discuss 2017 Bond Issue.
Mr. Solvig recommended to the Committee that the 2017 Bond Issue be postponed until 2018. A
2018 Bond Issue is estimated at $4,850,000, and will include the new $2,750,000 Ellis Hollow
Water Tank & Water Main project. Combining these issues together should save the Town
approx. $30,000 in bond issuance costs. The Committee concurred with the recommendation.
• Other Items.
- 2018 Property Tax Cap: The Town has received the Tax Base Growth Factor used for the
property tax cap calculation. The 2018 factor is 1.0148, an increase over the 2017 factor of
1.0116.
- Update on EdR Maplewood Certiorari Proceedings: Tompkins County Assessor Jay Franklin
has informed the Town that EdR Maplewood LLC agreed to discontinue their certiorari
proceedings over the $9,000,000 assessed value of their property in the Town of Ithaca. A
land lease filed with the Assessor’s Office between EdR Maplewood and Cornell University
stated the net present value of the land was $9,000,000, which is what it was assessed at. It
was difficult to argue against the assessed value when they had previously agreed with it.
- Hanshaw Road Walkway: The Town has received the final invoice from Tompkins County for
its share of costs for this project. The $32,157.23 invoice is considerably less than the
approx. $100,000 original estimate of the Town’s share. The Town had previously put funds
aside to pay for this work, with the balance currently at $100,730. Mr. Solvig stated that, if
there are no objections, he will transfer the remaining $68,573 to partially fund the State
Route 96B Sidewalk project. The Committee had no objections to making this transfer.
The meeting was adjourned at 12:34 p.m.
