Mr. Goodman asked Mr. Gilligan why the City is waiting until December 2017 for the Deputy Chief and he responded that he assumes that it is fiscal and for flexibility. He thought it would be better to fill it sooner rather than later. Mr. Goodman asked if the better ISO rating will lower insurance rates and Mr. Gilligan was not sure, in theory it should but the insurance industry figures that out. Mr. Goodman asked about the four positions funded by the grant and whether the City is thinking those positions will eventually be used to fill retirement vacancies and Mr. Gilligan thought that would be the case if no additional openings were approved at that time. There are expected retirements over the next few years. Mr. Goodman asked about any discussions on a new site for the training facility and Mr. Gilligan responded that that was on hold. Mr. Goodman noted that TCCOG is putting together a subcommittee to look at emergency services because many of the smaller municipalities are having a hard time keeping their volunteer services going and TCCOG will be looking into shared services and ways to consolidate or realize savings. 4) Persons to he Heard and Board Comments - None 5) Public hearing regarding a proposed local law amending the Town of Ithaca Code, Chapter 270 entitled "Zoning," to revise provisions related to solar facilities Mr. Goodman opened the public hearing at 5:55 p.m. There was no one wishing to address the TB 2016-11-07 Pg. 1 board on this topic and the hearing was closed.

The Order was thereupon declared duly adopted. 8) Public hearing regarding the proposed sewer improvement: Town of Ithaca Renzetti Place Joint Interceptor Replacement Sewer Improvement and establishing the Town of Ithaca Renzetti Place Joint Interceptor Replacement Sewer Improvement Area Mr. Goodman opened the public hearing at 6:02 p.m. There was no one wishing to address the board on this topic and the hearing was closed. Mr. DePaolo asked about the diameters of the replacement pipes and why the size was increasing. The listed reasons are root intmsion, poor design and age and that doesn't really constitute an in-kind replacement if we are going bigger. That therefore does not agree with our Comprehensive Plan because sewer expansion is not a priority in the Plan. Mr. Goodman asked Mr. Weber about the reasoning, saying that he thought the replacement was due to overflowing and capacity; Mr. Weber agreed, saying that the City has issues with this location and a few others and this increased size will reduce those overflow issues. Mr. DePaolo responded that he is not disputing that but if the problems that are identified is age and root intrusion, why the expansion in the diameter. He thought if the problem is diameter that should be stated. Mr. Weber responded that he can't answer that because this is in the city. Ms. Terwilliger read an email statement from the Town Engineer explaining the need for the larger size due to the new slope of the pipe to handle water events and he thought it did match the Comprehensive Plan in that this will fix current problems to the service area. Ms. Ritter stated that this is not in a growth area, and that Mr. Tasman had discussed this with Mr. Thaete. Mr. DePaolo stated that he feels he is "dead-ending" again on the question of expansion of existing sewer lines like he always does. He feels this is a slippery slope that is brushed aside each time he questions the increase in size and capabilities and we piecemeal replace these and always larger and always check no on the SEQR when there can be impacts. He stated that he would be voting no on the SEQR for that reason. Mr. Levine asked if there is a standard measurement to provide service, especially when you are replacing something due in large part to age and the specifications could have been updated since the initial installation. Mr. Weber responded that when you look at gravity flow lines there are TB 2016-11-07 Pg. 8 no minimum size requirements; you look at the slope and flow etc. This area is very flat and the City has had a lot of issues with it. Mr. Goodman pointed out that it is in the City eind we are only involved because of the interceptor agreement and paying our portion of the costs. TB Resolution 2016-153; SEOR Determination - Establishment and Attthorization of Town of Ithaca Renzetti Place Joint Interceptor Replacement Sewer Improvement and Sewer Improvement Area Whereas, the Town of Ithaca Town Board has determined that the establishment and authorization of the Town of Ithaca Renzetti Place Joint Interceptor Replacement Sewer Improvement and Sewer Improvement Area, as described in the Town Board's Order Setting Public Hearing dated October 17, 2016, is an Unlisted action, pursuant to the State Environmental Quality Review Act, 6 NYCRR Part 617, and the Town of Ithaca Code, Chapter 148 - Environmental Quality Review, for which the Town of Ithaca Town Board is acting in an uncoordinated environmental review with respect to the project, and Whereas, the Town Board, at its meeting held on November 7, 2016 has reviewed and accepted as adequate the Short Environmental Assessment Form, Parts 1, 2 and 3, prepared by Town Public Works staff for this action; now, therefore, be it Resolved, that the Town of Ithaca Town Board hereby makes a negative determination of environmental significance based on the information in the EAF Part 1 and for the reasons set forth in the EAF Parts 2 and 3, in accordance with the New York State Environmental Quality Review Act and Chapter 148 of the Town of Ithaca Code for the above referenced action as proposed and, therefore, neither a Full Environmental Assessment Form nor an Environmental Impact Statement will be required.

Ms. Brock explained further and added that Mr. Smith is asking NYS Parks £Uid we are waiting on their response. Ms. Brock felt that since this PIG is subject to the 30 day permissive referendum, the town can pass the resolution with that buffer time and rescind it if needed.

Ms. Hunter asked about the disposing of the hard copy records, especially older documents that were not computer generated, and sorting through what should be offered to historical societies etc. She added that she has had lengthy conversations with Ms. Terwilliger about this and Ms. Terwilliger responded that all documents would go through the Records Management Advisory Board and the Town Board before going to the bunker storage or the historical societies and she also doesn't plan on moving anything for at least 5 years while we ensure we didn't miss anything we needed to scan or keep differently. Mr. DePaolo asked about retention schedules and if we would keep digital documents indefinitely due to space constraints being removed. Ms. Terwilliger responded that the town follows the SARA MUl schedule and most final documents are permanent, but those with a 6 year or 1 year retention have a good reason for that and we shouldn't change that. She used the example of a complaint on a property that isn't safety related such as garbage. The retention on that is 6 years after the complaint is closed. There is no reason to keep that and if we kept it forever but didn't on another property questions would arise in court. You either keep to a schedule or don't. It also would make searches much larger with documents that really have no TB 2016-11-07 Pg. 12 importance but would have to be weeded through. Some discussion followed and Ms. Terwilliger added that if the town decided a certain record series should be kept longer or shorter, the process is to document why the change is wanted and to revisit it after 10 years to see if the change was in fact productive and necessary. TB Resolution 2016-155; Adopt revised Records Management Policy for the Town of Ithaca designating the digital record as the official record of the Town Whereas the Records Management Advisory Board and the Personnel and Operations Committee have both reviewed the revisions to the Records Management Policy which recommends changes to better suit our current practices using digital records storage and access programs under the shared services program with Tompkins County utilizing Laserfische and our own in-house Municity program, and Whereas the Town is supportive of the move toward digital records retention, use and retrieval programs for both sustainability reasons and increased productivity, now therefore be it Resolved that the Town Board hereby adopts the revised Records Management Policy for the Town of Ithaca and supports the move to a digital record retention environment.

Moved: Pamela Bleiwas Seconded: Tee-Ann Hunter Vote: Ayes - Bleiwas, Hunter, Levine, DePaolo, Goodman, Leary and Howe Added item - Discuss proposed Sign and Mural draft local laws Mr. Goodman gave an overview of the discussions and process from the Codes and Ordinances Committee. Ms. Hunter began with the mural law and asked if there was any discussion about a review board for aesthetics, especially given the size that is being proposed to be allowed. She also asked about the illumination being allowed for murals if they aren't signs, she didn't understand what the purpose was for having them illuminated. Mr. Goodman couldn't recall discussion surrounding the lighting of murals but assumes it was because people might spend a lot of money and effort into them and may want them lit and Ms. Bleiwas thought the wording could be changed slightly to show that they may be lit but don't necessarily need to be lit which is how it sounds as written. Mr. Howe thought there should be some sort of review process and whether lighting is appropriate would be reviewed at that point. He used the example of murals on parking garages where lighting is appropriate. He thought there might be murals that would not be appropriate to put up at all and Ms. Brock asked in what way and he responded that some content would not be appropriate and Ms. Brock responded that the town cannot regulate content in any way. Mr. Goodman talked about the discussion and difficulties the committee had because we cannot consider content in any way with Ms. Brock adding that the Supreme Court has consistently upheld that and the committee spent many hours talking about it. The Board talked about content such as nudity, profanity or known offensive symbols and again, Ms. Brock stated that there is no way to regulate content no matter how offensive one group or person may find it. There is a "strict scrutiny" laws regarding content are subject to under the first amendment and the courts always rule that no legislation can restrict content. Lengthy discussion followed. Ms. Brock stated that there could be review for aesthetics, but then there would have to be a set of quantifiable standards and Mr. Goodman added that the Committee did not want to get involved in that. The City of Ithaca pays for the murals that they have been putting up and that is why they have some control and a review committee; this is different. The impetus for the definition and legislating of murals was when Six Mile Creek Vineyards wanted to paint a vineyard scene on the side of their bam and Codes determined that that was a sign. TB 2016-11-07 Pg. 16 Ms. Hunter stated that the City of Portland divided the city into distinct sections with strict characteristics and required a review board and she again asked if there would be any kind of architectural review possibly associated with our new zoning that could possible handle this issue. Ms. Brock spoke to the examples from other municipalities the committee used and the struggle to balance what one wants and doesn't want with the first amendment. Mr. DePaolo had a number of questions and began with the aggregate square footage allowed for window signs and he felt they should be counted. Mr. Goodman stated the committee did look at that again and recommended leaving it as is because windows don't add to the visual impact of signs in yards etc. and Ms. Brock added that there was discussion about political signs also, especially in residential zones, because in years with numerous elections, one may not be able to have a sign for everyone they want. Mr. DePaolo thought that illustrated his concem; because there is a piece of glass between the sign and the outside does not negate the clutter or effect of the sign. Mr. Goodman added that they were leery about regulated what people could do within their own houses. Ms. Leary argued for regulated in some ways against hate speech and similar and Ms. Brock offered to send case law to the board on the "strict scrutiny" applied by the courts. Mr. Goodman stated that he would not suggest setting the public hearing at this point, and will meet with staff on some of the questions raised and then this can come back to the board for further discussion and then a public hearing. 13) Continue discussion regarding removing Ithaca College from the Town of Ithaca Fire Protection District and consider setting a public hearing regarding same, subject to permissive referendum Motion made by Mr. DePaolo to enter closed session to seek the advice of counsel, seconded by Pamela Bleiwas. 7:00 p.m. Unanimous Motion made by Mr. DePaolo to reenter open session at 8:00 p.m., seconded by Ms. Bleiwas, unanimous.

Name of Action or Project: A Local Law Amending the Town Code, Chapter 270 Entitled "Zoning", To Revise Provisions Related To Solar Facilities Project Location (describe, and attach a general location map): The local law will apply town wide. Brief Description of Proposed Action (include purpose or need): The purpose of this chapter is to facilitate the development and operation of renewable energy systems based on sunlight, because it is in the public interest to provide for and encourage renewable energy systems and a sustainable quality of life, in accordance with the Town of Ithaca Comprehensive Plan. The local law establishes three size categories for ground mounted photovoltaic solar energy systems based on the solar facility footprint size (the surface area taken up by the rows of solar panels and the space between rows). The three sizes are: small (up to 2,000sq.ft.), medium (up to 7,000sq.ft.) and large (greater than 7,000 square feet, with a maximum footprint size of 10 acres). The law largely retains the current provisions for rooftop and building mounted photovoltaic solar energy systems, allowing them in all zones with no size restrictions and no requirements for site plan approval. The proposed law also adds provisions for solar-thermal energy systems. Name of Applicant/Sponsor: Town of Ithaca Telephone: 607-273-1747 E-Mail:SRitter@town.ithaca.ny.us Address:215 N.

If the lead agency is a state agency and the action is in any Coastal Area, complete the Coastal Assessment Form before proceeding with this assessment. Tips for completing Fart 2: Review all of the information provided in Part 1. Review any application, maps, supporting materials and the Full EAF Workbook. Answer each of the 18 questions in Part 2. If you answer "Yes" to a numbered question, please complete all the questions that follow in that section. If you answer "No" to a numbered question, move on to the next numbered question. Check appropriate column to indicate the anticipated size of the impact. Proposed projects that would exceed a numeric threshold contained in a question should result in the reviewing agency checking the box "Moderate to large impact may occur." The reviewer is not expected to be an expert in environmental analysis. If you are not sure or undecided about the size of an impact, it may help to review the sub-questions for the general question and consult the workbook. When answering a question consider all components of the proposed activity, that is, the "whole action". Consider the possibility for long-term and cumulative impacts as well as direct impacts. Answer the question in a reasonable manner considering the scale and context of the project. 1.

The lead agency must complete Part 3 for every question in Part 2 where the impact has been identified as potentially moderate to large or where there is a need to explain why a particular element of the proposed action will not, or may, result in a significant adverse environmental impact. Based on the analysis in Part 3, the lead agency must decide whether to require an environmental impact statement to fiirther assess the proposed action or whether available information is sufficient for the lead agency to conclude that the proposed action will not have a significant adverse environmental impact. By completing the certification on the next page, the lead agency can complete its determination of significance. Reasons Supporting This Determination: To complete this section: Identify the impact based on the Part 2 responses and describe its magnitude. Magnitude considers factors such as severity, size or extent of an impact. Assess the importance of the impact. Importance relates to the geographic scope, duration, probability of the impact occurring, number of people affected by the impact and any additional environmental consequences if the impact were to occur. The assessment should take into consideration any design element or project changes. Repeat this process for each Part 2 question where the impact has been identified as potentially moderate to large or where there is a need to explain why a particular element of the proposed action will not, or may, result in a significant adverse environmental impact. Provide the reason(s) why the impact may, or will not, result in a significant adverse environmental impact For Conditional Negative Declarations identify the specific condition(s) imposed that will modify the proposed action so that no significant adverse environmental impacts will result.

The proposed changes are intended to facilitate a range of solar energy development opportunities in the town and implement the Comprehensive Plan's goal to "Encourage and facilitate the production and use of renewable energy". The proposed law includes numerous standards and controls designed to reduce the impacts from solar facility installations, especially from larger sized ground mounted facilities which will be restricted to certain areas of the town (by zone) and require site plan approval along with an environmental review (SEQR) to address potential impacts. The town's existing law pertaining to solar facilities restricts ground moimted freestanding solar collectors to no more than 1,000 square feet of total surface area. Ground mounted solar collectors of this size are adequate for serving single family homes, but are too small to serve the energy needs of multi-family dwellings or the many commercial, institutional and other non- residential uses in the Town. In addition, remote net metering of solar energy (energy generated on-site is credited to an off-site location(s)) and community distributed generation (energy credits are distributed to community members invested in a solar project) are making development of large-scale solar facility projects, "solar farms", an attractive renewable energy option. The proposed solar law retains the town's current flexible provisions for rooftop and building mounted photovoltaic solar energy systems and adds provisions for solar-thermal energy systems. The most substantial amendments are focused on ground mounted systems. The proposed law establishes three size categories for ground mounted systems, small scale (up to 2,000 sq.ft.), medium scale (up to 7,000 sq.ft.) and large scale (up to 10 acres) based on the solar facility footprint size (the surface area taken up by the rows of solar panels and the space between rows). The large scale ground mounted solar system category is restricted to certain zones in the town, specifically agriculture (AG), low density residential (LDR), office park commercial (OPC), light industrial (LI), industrial (I), and planned development zones (PDZ). They are not allowed in the town's commercial zones or in more compact residential zones in recognition of potential aesthetic impacts in denser neighborhoods and commercial centers, as well as because a large scale installation would not be the best and most efficient use within these smaller/limited zoning districts. Large-scale installations are, however, allowed in the medium density residential (MDR) zone, but only as an accessory use (designed for use primarily on-site). This would allow high energy users located in the MDR zone, such as Ithaca College, to develop large scale solar facilities for use on site. Provisions for large scale installations include requirements for a decommissioning plan, design standards and site plan approval. Additionally, all large-scale solar projects will require an environmental review in accordance with SEQR which will scrutinize potential impacts associated with grading and physical alteration of the site, stormwater runoff, aesthetics/community character changes, habitat degradation, loss of important agricultural resources, impacts on historical resources, and more. Part 3 - Full Environmental Assessment Form - Attachment Evaluation of Magnitude and Importance of Project Impacts For large scale installations, the design standards and site plan approval requirements will be important tools for addressing potential impacts. The design standards include provisions for screening/buffering that are to be based on site specific conditions, such as topography and the location of adjacent structures and roads. This gives the Planning Board flexibility to determine how best to address visual impacts and community character issues. The requirements state that reasonable efforts are to be made to provide screening from abutting residential properties and roads and to preserve the site's natural vegetation, while also avoiding shading of the solar facility. Design standards also address glare and prohibit the use of barbed wire fencing. Additionally, potential impacts to fauna are addressed by requiring wildlife friendly fencing on installations greater than 5 acres. Wildlife friendly fencing would include such things as small openings in the fence to allow safe passage for small mammals and reptiles (Brookhaven National Laboratory utilizes 10cm x 26cm openings every 23m for their solar facility fence) and the construction of visible and sturdy fencing to minimize injuries from wildlife entanglement. The law also includes vegetation clearing standards designed to limit the removal of trees and other vegetation from the site to what is necessary for the project. Site plan review of the larger scale installations will also involve examination of stormwater runoff impacts. The types of ground mounted solar facilities constructed in the northeast U.S. do not generally result in extensive soil compaction, so the site's existing infiltration capacity is largely retained with vegetation continuing to grow throughout the project site (often requiring management). Still, potential drainage pattern alterations resulting from installation of rows of impervious solar panels will need to be analyzed so that mitigation measures can be applied, as necessary. Medium scale systems are anticipated to serve the energy needs of multi-unit housing developments, such as apartments, townhomes, and pocket neighborhoods, as well as commercial and institutional uses. These systems are allowed as accessory use-only in the MDR, HDR (high density residential), MHP (mobile home park), MR (multiple residence), C (conservation), NC (neighborhood commercial), CC (community commercial) zones and PDZs. They are limited as a principal use (and accessory) in the AG, LDR, LI, I, and OPC zones. For medium scale systems in the upper size range, perimeter fencing is sometimes warranted (per lease agreements). To address potential aesthetic concerns in residential zones, the regulations require site plan approval for installations in the LDR, MDR, and HDR (high density residential) zones and setbacks of at least 60 feet from lot lines that abut residential properties. Small scale systems are anticipated to serve the energy needs for single/two-family residences. Regulations for this size system are the least restrictive, though they do provide more specificity on the setback requirements (than current regulations), and do not prohibit systems from being placed in the front yard, as currently regulated. This is expected to benefit owners of larger parcels where houses tend to be setback longer distances from the road, allowing the ground mounted system to be located in whichever yard the solar energy collection opportunities are deemed best. In established denser neighborhoods, however, the specified setback requirements will generally necessitate placement in a side or backyards since the lots are smaller and the houses occupy (or are in front of) the space where a solar system would be allowed. 617.20 Appendix B Short Environmental Assessment Form Instructions for Completing Part 1 - Project Information.

For every question in Part 2 that was answered "moderate to large impact may occur", or if there is a need to explain why a particular element of the proposed action may or will not result in a significant adverse environmental impact, please complete Part 3. Part 3 should, in sufficient detail, identify the impact, including any measures or design elements that have been included by the project sponsor to avoid or reduce impacts. Part 3 should also explain how the lead agency determined that the impact may or will not be significant. Each potential impact should be assessed considering its setting, probability of occurring, duration, irreversibility, geographic scope and magnitude. Also consider the potential for short-term, long-term and cumulative impacts. The proposal involves replacing an aging, existing joint sewer interceptor and sewer main that have been deteriorating over time, causing overflows that have resulted in damage to the South Hill Recreation Way, driveway washouts to homeowners located just below the affected areas, odors and other nuisances. Upgrading the system with larger piping and other improvements will mitigate the current environmental impact of untreated sewage spilling onto nearby properties. Regarding Part 1, Question 20: Neither the site of the proposed sewer replacement project nor any adjoining properties have been the subjects of hazardous waste remediation. However, the site is owned by Therm, Inc., an industrial manufacturing plant located approximately 1/4 mile south, off of Hudson Street. The NYS DEC Spill Incident Database reported four spills at the Therm plant between 1989 and 1997. Such spills included waste oil/used oil, zyglo penetrant and non-PCB oil. All four of the spills were properly remediated and closed by the DEC. None of the reported spills will affect the site of the proposed sewer replacement project. The project will necessitate closing a small portion of the South Hill Recreation Way, which could cause temporary inconveniences to bicyclists, walkers and other users of the trail. However, users will have alternative access to the trail, via a detour along Hudson Street and Crescent Place, during the approximately two-week construction period. This will adequately mitigate impacts related to trail access. The proposed action will have a positive impact on the existing wastewater treatment utilities, the capacity of which will be upgraded to handle the current and projected future sewer flows in the area. □ 0 Check this box if you have determined, based on the information and analysis above, and any supporting documentation, that the proposed action may result in one or more potentially large or significant adverse impacts and an environmental impact statement is required. Check this box if you have determined, based on the information and analysis above, and any supporting documentation, that the proposed action will not result in any significant adverse environmental impacts.

Yes Short Environmental Assessment Form - EAF Mapper Summary Report Board of Fire Commissioners Report to Ithaca Town Board November 7, 2016 The following is a summary of the Board of Fire Commissioners quarterly report to the Ithaca Town Board for the third quarter of 2016. Included with this report are: • The Fire Chiefs Report given at the October 11,2016 BFC meeting. This includes the Fire Marshal's Report & Fire Prevention Bureau activity. • The department call activity reports for January 1- September 30. 2016. Total calls 3,863 (slightly lower than prior 2 years - 3,873 & 3,908). • The financial operations summary through September 30,2016. Fire Department Operational Staffing (Septmeber 30.2016). • As of September 30,2016 the active Uniformed staff totaled 63 (1 Chief, 6 Assistant Chiefs, 8 lieutenants, & 47 Fire Fighters plus 1 Deputy Chief on per diem). In addition there is 1 Administrative Coordinator for a total of 64 personnel. • Asst. Chief Michael Schnurle retired on October 27*"^, 2016 after 36 years of service to the department and the community • A new Assistant Chief and a lieutenant will be appointed in November from the respective internal promotion lists for these positions. The resulting fire fighter position made vacant from these promotions is expected to be filled early in 2017. 2016 Budget-The total 2016 approved operating budget (excluding benefits and debt service) is $6,119,063. Expenditures as of September 30,2016 were $4,270,777 approximately 70% of the department's operating budget has been expended, leaving a balance of 30% for the final quarter. A small budget surplus is expected at the end of the year. 2017 Budget - The 2017 Ithaca City budget was approved by Common Council on November 2,2016. The Ithaca Fire Department's budget increased by slightly less than 2%, to $10,060,747 including debt service and employee benefits. The 2017 budget includes funding for a full time deputy chief position beginning in December of 2017. Station 9 (Collegetown) - Kingsburv Architects has submitted a second report on the feasibility of relocating the Collegetown Fire station to an alternative (2"'' option) site on East Hill. This second study also reviewed the condition of the Central Fire station facility including the feasibility of expanding the station to accommodate the apparatus, people, and program storage from the Collegetown Fire Station for a short or possibly longer term. The report was provided to the Board in September. Insurance Service Organization (ISOJ report The Board of Fire Commissioners was provided a copy of the ISO report for the department. ISO provides an audit and assessment of fire departments as part of its Public Protection Classification (PPC) survey program. This report is used by most US insurance companies in their underwriting process for determining coverage options and premiums charged for residential and commercial property insurance. The department's rating will change from a 3 and 3/9 respectively for the City and Town to a rating of 2 and 2/2Y effective December 1,2016. A lower rating indicates a higher level of protection and a higher quality of service. ISO data published for 2016 indicates that there were 278 communities in NYS with a 3 rating and 43 with a class 2 rating and 5 communities with a class 1 rating. The largest group of communities in New York State (1,372) fall within rating classes 4, 5, or 6. Board of Fire Commissioners Report to Ithaca Town Board November 7, 2016 Apparatus - Two new pump engines have been ordered from Seagrave Fire Apparatus, LLC •Delivery is expected late this year or early in 2017. Grants The Department has received a grant for $45,455 towards the replacement of the 20 year old compressor that is used to refill the departments breathing air tanks. Specifications have been prepared for this equipment to go out for bid. The department has been awarded a $634,016 SAFER (Staffing for Adequate Fire and Emergency Response) grant to add 4 additional career staff to the department for a 2 year period. The positions would be fully funded on the grant and require no reduction from current staffing levels. At the end of the period the City would have to determine if the positions would continue to be supported on the department's operating budget. It is expected that these 4 positions will be filled beginning in January/February of 2017. Board of Fire Commissioners The BFC meeting agendas/minutes (dating back to October 1987) may be accessed from the Board of Fire Commissioner's section of the City Website at: http://www.citvofithaca.org/367/Board-of-Fire-Commissioners Board Recognition Policv The Board is continuing to work on guidelines and procedures for recognizing meritorious service by career and volunteer members of the department and others as appropriate. A copy of the proposed policy was provided to department staff and union representatives. BFC Vacancv There is currently one opening on the Board of Fire Commissioners available to be filled by an individual recommended by the Town Board. As noted previously, given the Board's role in overseeing the operation of the department and the effort to increase the effective use of volunteer's in the department it would strengthen the Board if the individual appointed had experience/knowledge/skills in one or more of the following areas - human resources/workforce/volunteer recruitment/ working with volunteers/ organizational uses of social media/website development/organizational development/Marketing/previous experience with the fire service. A priority for the position would be to seek an individual with the aforementioned skills, who would also enhance the diversity of the Board and reflect the community served by the fire department. The time commitment for a board member is approximately 1-3 hours per month. The Board meets monthly on the second Tuesday of the month at 4 pm at Central Fire Station. day of the month at 4 pm at Central Fire Station. Volunteer Program Development There are currently 14 active members of Volunteer Company No. 9 who serve the department. In addition, there are four provisional members of the Company. Three of these are awaiting training to become active volunteers with the Department and one is expected to complete interior firefighter training later this month or early in December. Three active members completed fire police training in August. Board of Fire Commissioners Report to Ithaca Town Board November 7,2016 An ad hoc committee consisting of 2 members of the Board (Commissioners Gilligan & Guttridge), Chief Parsons, Assistant Chief/Training Officer Tracy, plus Company 9 Captain, Dave Cornelius are working to address various volunteer issues including training, recruitment, and retention. Other Items & Items in progress 1 There has been an on-going issue with the CAD (computer aided dispatch) system used by the 911 Center. It appears that updates to both the software and hardware being made by the dispatch center will address these issues. 2 The Board is holding information sessions regarding departmental operations prior to the beginning of the formal BFC meetings. The Board had a tour of central station and the apparatus maintained there prior to its October meeting. These sessions provide an opportunity to learn more about specific areas of department operations such as organization of department into shifts, protocols for dispatching apparatus based on criteria established with County 911 center, EMS call response protocols, Hazmat operations. Code division work. Rope rescue operations, water rescue, equipment and vehicles used by the department, etc. In conjunction with these sessions, the Board is also discussing with the Chief the possibility of scheduling an annual or semi-annual session at the training center that would provide an opportunity to provide a live demonstration of the responses required by the department to emergency incidents. 3 Charter Review- the Board is continuing its discussion of the role of BFC. We anticipate working with the Board's Common Council Liaison Gearhart, the Common Council, and Town Board to develop recommendations for clarifying and updating the role of the BFC. The Board will be responding to a survey requested by the Common Council's Working Group looking into ways of making City Boards and Committees more effective and efficient. 4 Resource recovery/False Alarm Policy - Currently on hold pending review with the City Attorney. 5 County Fire-Disaster - EMS Advisory Board- no new action on this issue. 6 Training Center Facility Project -no construction has been authorized due to the training site being located on land designated as City Park land.

The budget includes a 1.88% increase of the fire department budget over the 2016 department budget. The budget includes funding for all current firefighter and fire officer positions. It also includes funding for a Deputy Fire Chief position beginning in December of 2017. All equipment requests, which 1 made in my prepared budget to the Mayor, are being funded. Equipment purchases includes replacement of a portion of our portable radio equipment and pager equipment; replacement of a computer server; replacement for 2 of our 5 mobile data terminals; and 4 IPads for use with hydrant and property survey inspections 3) County Communications and 911 Programs: a) No Update: The Tompkins County Emergency Communications Review and Oversight Committee is reviewing its mission, and drafting recommendations to Tompkins County Public Safety Committee for a revision of if s mission. 4) Grants and Donations a) No Update: On May 20*^ 2016,1 received word from U.S. Senator Charles Schumer's Office that the Ithaca Fire Department was the recipient of a grant under the 2015 Assistance for Firefighting Grant Program. In January, 1 submitted a grant application to fund the replacement of the fire department's breathing air compressor. The current compressor is 15 years old and nearing its end of use. We are approved to receive $45,455 towards the replacement of the compressor. b) No Update: On March 25'^ 2016,1 submitted two grant applications to the Staffing for Adequate Fire and Emergency Response (SAFER) program. The first grant application requested funding for a volunteer and bunker program. The grant would pay for equipment, physicals, and training for up to 20 new Page 3 of6 - Fire Chiefs Monthly Report October 11 th, 2016 volunteer and bunking members over four years. The second grant application requested funding to hire and employ four new career firefighters for two years On September 2016; Senator Charles Schumer's Office informed us that the Ithaca Fire Department is awarded a SAFER Grant for hiring firefighters. The award will fund salaries and benefits for four career firefighters for two years. The total award is $634,016. There can be no reductions in staffing during the grant performance period. After the grant period, the City would either pick up the cost for the four additional firefighters, submit for an extension of the SAFER award, or eliminate the positions. On October 5*^, Common Council will consider a resolution to accept the SAFER award. 5) Collegetown Fire Station The City has contracted with Kingsbury Architects to look at another location for an East Hill fire station on Maple Ave. They also reviewed the building conditions at Central Fire Station. The have investigated the feasibility of expanding the station to accommodate the apparatus, people, and program storage from the Collegetown Fire Station for a short or possibly longer term. Kingsbury has provided a final report that is being reviewed by the Planning and Engineering Departments. 5) Insurance Service Organization (ISO) Report No Update: In March, the Insurance Service Organization came to Ithaca and performed a Public Protection Classification (PCC) Survey. ISO's Public Protection Classification Program plays a major role in the underwriting process at insurance companies. In fact, most U.S. insurers - including the largest ones - use PPC information as part of their decision- making when deciding what business to write, coverages to offer or prices to charge for personal or commercial property insurance. Each insurance company independently determines the premiums it charges its policyholders. The way an insurer uses ISO'sinformation on public fire protection may depend on several things - the company's fire-loss experience, rate making methodology, underwriting guidelines, and its marketing strategy. The City and Town current PPC classifications were last survey in 2004. In August we received PCC Survey Results and Classification from this year's survey. The City's PPC Classification currently is a 3 and the Town is a 3/9, but effective December 2016 the City and the Town's PPC Classification will be a 2 and 2/2y.
