1. Call to order and Pledge of Allegiance Meeting called to order at 5:33 p.m.
2. Board of Fire Commissioners' Quarterly Report
Mr. Gilligan reviewed his submitted report.
Discuss the City of Ithaca's reorganization of their Committee structure and its effect
(Attachment 1)
Mr. Gilligan expanded on his attendance and input to the City Council regarding their
restructuring of their committees. The meeting was on May 2nd and many of the members of the
seven committees being absorbed went to state their concerns about what would happen to them
including concerns about the focus of the smaller committees being lost and efforts diluted. One
example is the Shade Tree Committee which is small and members are passionate about their
mission but if it were folded into a large committee, their concerns and efforts wouldn't be heard.
Mr. Gilligan added that he expressed other options such as improving the infrastructure with an
enhanced application form that would more clearly define the applicants interests such as web
design, human resources, public safety etc. and think about the staff support which seemed to not
have been considered in this reorganization. He added that because this will change the number
of appointments the Mayor can make, it may have to be on the November ballot.
Mr. Gilligan stated that the City Attorney did not think there would be any impact on the
distribution of the 2% monies that support the Fire Stations.
Board questions
Mr. DePaolo stated that it seems the Town's representation and vote regarding the fire service
would be diluted and that is concerning and Ms. Hunter asked what authority the Commission
had as far as voting. Mr. Gilligan responded that the Commission disperses the 2% funds and
authorizes the bids for vehicles.
Discussion followed and the issue was referred to the P&O Committee and Mr. Goodman will
ask the City liaison to come to the study session to answer questions.
TB 2017-05-08 pg. 1
3. Persons to be heard and Board Comments
Diana Cole, 999 Coddington Road Ms. Cole stated that she just rented a place there and she
was not aware that the police target practice and training center was so close to the house. She
didn't know where to go with this, saying it is noise pollution when you are living in the country
and there is target practice several times a day and even on the weekends. She would like to
know what recourse she has.
Patty Porter, 104 Juniper Drive Ms. Porter read a prepared statement (Attachment 2)
Ms. Porter lives near Kendall Ave and had pictures and descriptions of the annual Kendal Day
party which is the day after the last day of Ithaca College classes and is put out on social media.
She described underage drinking, litter and public urination. She was appalled that the law
enforcement was present but not doing anything about the party of approximately 4,000 students.
There were numerous laws being broken, including the town's noise ordinance. The attachment
has many details.
Kenny Simpson, Renwick Heights Mr. Simpson stated that he is one of the residents that
signed the petition against short term rentals in their neighborhood and they have attended
committee and board meetings and they are concerned that there seems to be a move to actually
expand the practice of short term rentals and repeal the existing code rather than enforcing the
existing code.
Mr. Simpson stated that because the code is not being enforced there are people actively
exploiting that and listing their houses again for this summer since they weren't in trouble for
last summer. He stated that the neighborhood has been changed so much and he is upset with
that change with six or seven cars parked outside houses, and people not speaking to each other
because they have rented their houses out. He said that people are justifying this by saying they
need to make money to live where we live, but everyone bought the house knowing what the
costs were, and we all pay probably the highest taxes in the country and we don't do that lightly.
We want our neighborhoods to be protected and the rules enforced. He added that they would
also like, when the board goes to remodel the law, they want full disclosure on those voting on
whether they participate or consume these short term rentals.
Mr. Simpson stated that AirBnB is a$3013 enterprise and there are a lot of different forces
moving there and others could begin to move and they would like to see a balanced discussion
because the Town of Ithaca is so diverse close knit neighbors, miles apart neighbors and transient
neighbors and they chose to live where they do because they wanted the long-term residential
neighborhood with very close neighbors and he thought they may be a special case
demographically as is Forest Home and Cayuga Heights and when the board considers these
issues you need to look at the micro-pockets in the Town as well because it does make a
difference to them and it does make a difference on how we see our neighbors; saying the
neighborhood used to have seasonal parties and holiday parties and those have disappeared
because no one wants to see each other because there are parties as the short term rentals that
TB 2017-05-08 pg. 2
have to be shut down etc. There is a long-term rental which is different and that family has
integrated into the neighborhood.
Mr. Simpson stated that the existing rules for B&B, if you want to make money and you don't
have money to live in the area, why not get certified as a B&B? but for short—term, high
turnover rentals just don't fit in our neighborhood, but if you do want to go through the process
of having smoke detectors, fire alarms, background checks to make sure you're not a child
molester or sexual predator and you are regulated in some way, then by all means, do it. But if
you don't want to do that, the practice is potentially dangerous and there are many impacts to our
community.
Michael MacAnanny, Renwick Place Mr. MacAnanny stated that some of the other residents
from the area were here with him and he didn't have a whole lot more than the previous speaker
but he wanted to put a fine point on a couple of things that really are shocking and stunning to
some of the group. It seemed to him that the Town is looking to find ways to regulate this
situation they find themselves in and in doing so, maybe stepping into some dangerous areas in
the sense that in the April 21st letter to residents, the Town has admitted that you are aware that
there are residences being rented on a short-term basis that do not comply with ADA, with Town
Code, Health and Safety and so forth and he thought that was a very, very slippery slope the
Town was going down. Mr. MacAnanny thought it would seem that the Town would be better
served to first enforce the existing codes and find ways to do so, and then if there are objections
from the folks who want to rent their homes out then this can be discussed and meted out but
first the enforcement should be there.
Mr. MacAnanny stated that they live in an area where there are three schools; Cayuga Heights
Elementary, Boyton Middle School and Ithaca High School that our children go to and we don't
know who is coming into these houses. The people that rent these homes in some cases are
absentee owners and he heard at the last meeting that there is a definition being considered that
an owner can be considered to be a resident if they reside six months and one day of the year in
the house. He thought that what this meant was that they could have people in their
neighborhood that the owners have no way of vetting and probably no interest in vetting and they
can be complete strangers from different parts of the country, one in each bedroom and are they
safe? What protection is afforded to them? What protection is afforded to our children in our
neighborhood?
Mr. MacAnanny thought that the codes that are in effect now were well thought out and put there
for a reason and clearly they are not being adhered to so they call once again on the Town to live
up to what the Town says it will do, which is to enforce the code and create safe neighborhoods
for our community. Thank you.
Don Smith 1329 Taughannock Blvd Mr. Smith stated that he was the President of the West
Shore Neighborhood Association and they have worked very hard over the years with successes
such as the garbage truck traffic reduction and supporting Conservation and Lake Shore zoning
and currently working on EMT access.
TB 2017-05-08 pg. 3
Mr. Smith said that he is hearing concerns in relation to short term rentals, specifically, Air BnB
and he was here to better understand the issues and act accordingly at the next meeting. One of
the concerns, is the 50 foot frontage of a lot of the houses in the Town of Ithaca with in some
cases two houses sharing 50 feet of frontage so you can start to understand that when you have a
short term rental with other houses on the same property now that property has X number of
people on the beach on the lake and you are not only disturbing your neighbors but the
neighborhood. Thank you.
Richard Boyd, Renwick Heights Rd Mr. Boyd said he wanted to put one idea out there,
saying that in their neighborhood, what people are doing is essentially running unlicensed
motels, and many of us have had the experience of staying in a hotel and seeing other people in
the motel or hotel do things that they shouldn't, but in a hotel or motel, there is someone to go to
and there is staff and or cameras so you have an immediate resource but the comparable person
living next door to one of these houses being rented nightly, they have no resource. The kind of
protection you have is absent.
Mr. Boyd said he agreed with the statement before about the town being so diverse and there
must be places where this isn't a problem at all so if you are going to have legislation, probably
there should be legislation that is sensitive to very different demands in different places.
Susan Vanna(?), Cayuga Heights - Ms. Vanna stated that Air BNB has spent millions and
millions paying lobbyists and getting good PR in the newspapers to push this whole idea of a
"sharing economy" but"sharing" is something you do in kindergarten when you share your toy
with your friend or someone else, or in terms of a house, "sharing" would be you let some
homeless refugee come stay in your house without paying; that is sharing.
Renting out your property or renting out rooms in your property is not sharing, that is business.
That is a commercial business, that is capitalism running the way it does, and she understands
that people want to make money, but it is not"sharing" and people shouldn't be able to sort of
hide under that euphemism saying oh, it's a"sharing economy" and we are just being nice here.
If people want to rent out rooms in their house or rent out their whole house, there are rules about
this that the Board's predecessors came up with Zoning and so on and the only thing that has
changed from then until now is that people want to book on an app or online rather than by
phone or mail which is how people used to book hotels and B&B's. Those are the things that
have changed, but the fact that you are booking it on an app or online doesn't change any of the
relevant variables such as making noise, changing the atmosphere of a neighborhood where you
don't have neighbors anymore, you just have transient people, fire safety rules, disabled access
rules... all of these things that regular proper B&B's are supposed to abide by; none of those
things change just because someone is booking the room on an app rather than booking the room
the old fashioned way.
The rules should still apply because nothing has changed, unless your predecessors were wrong
in the first place. It is the same issue, it is just that the Board and many people have been
hoodwinked by this whole"sharing" thing to somehow make everyone think that now it is
somehow sweet and lovely even though it is the same thing it has always been.
TB 2017-05-08 pg. 4
Board comments
Target practice
Mr. DePaolo responded to the concern stating that he also lives on Coddington Road and hears
the gunfire and he has informally approached the topic with the City Attorney over the years.
The facility dates back about 50 years and located out in the boonies, but in the intervening
years, South Hill has grown and residences are more or less encroaching on the facility. He
learned that within the last 10 years or so it has been made available to law enforcement entities
throughout the State of New York instead of just the City of Ithaca. There are even FBI agents
that shoot fully automatic weapons there. He stated that he thinks the facility needs to be
relocated to somewhere that it doesn't impact residences to the extent it does. At a minimum, it
is disconcerting to hear gunfire at all hours of the day and night and it is an issue we need to
discuss with the City because it wouldn't be prohibitively expensive to relocate the facility.
Mr. Goodman added that he would speak to Donna Flemming who is our liaison with Common
Council and we can also go to the Council meeting and report the concerns. This is not the first
time we have heard this and we haven't been able to do much in the past but we can continue to
bring it up.
Kendall Day - Mr. Goodman thanked her for bringing in the information and stated that in the
past we had complaints but hadn't heard any the past few years. He added that he thought Mr.
Engman had contacted the Sheriff's office and they sent people out. Mr. Bates said there were a
few litter complaints that he spoke to the owners about but it was cleaned up. The Town had to
clean quite a bit on the trail.
Ms. Hunter asked if we had any ticketing authority for the litter or the noise or the party permit
and such. Mr. Bates responded that we do under property maintenance but that happens if they
didn't clean it up after they were told to clean it up and the noise permit is enforced by the
Sheriff s office.
Ms. Hunter asked if the Town could ask the Sheriff s to issue tickets relative to not getting
permits related to the event and Mr. Goodman responded that he could ask the Sheriff but he
thought it would be better to work with the College because the Sheriff s are there but won't go
in to something that size.
Some discussion followed and if the Sheriff will not enforce the laws on the books, there isn't
much we can do other than mandatory fines instead of a span.
Mr. DePaolo stated that IC and Town/Community meetings for IC are to make sure their risk
managers are happy and they say they have no control over the kids off campus and we can try to
educate them but that's all we can do. Mr. DePaolo stated that he thinks there is this pervasive
mentality that kids will be kids and they have to blow off steam once a year because they've
earned it and we just hope nobody gets killed; the herd has gotten too big and we can't control it,
we just don't want anybody to get hurt.
TB 2017-05-08 pg. 5
We do have a noise ordinance that was crafted for this and we ought to revisit the idea of
mandatory minimum fines rather than giving judges complete latitude to perpetuate this abuse
and we should also discuss potentially tracking persistent abuses year after year to the property
itself and tie it to those regulations as a way to brining the landlords into the loop at some level.
Mr. DePaolo stated that he didn't know what to do about the Sheriff because they are there with
upwards of 1,000 kids of all ages drinking and puking and peeing and it is an absolute affront to
the senses and he doesn't live as close as the speaker, but he can hear it a quarter of a mile away.
He didn't know how to address that concern, either through the County or some other way,
because we do have certain expectations because if the College isn't involved, and the Sheriff
isn't involved, then we are left with a situation where the kids are getting the tacit message that
this behavior is acceptable, and it isn't.
Mr. Goodman sent the issue to the P&O Committee for recommendations.
Ms. Porter stated that Sheriff Meskill used to issue tickets and they were fined and the tickets
were also sent to the College and Brian McCary brought the students into his office and letters
were sent home to their parents. When Ken Lansing became Sheriff, he refuses to write the
tickets saying it is a waste of his officers' time to go to court.
4. 5:30 p.m. Public hearing regarding a proposed local law: "Amending Restaurant Drive-
Through Provisions in the Community Commercial Zoning Provisions of Ithaca Town
Code Chapter 270"
Mr. Goodman opened the public hearing at 6:50p.m. There was no one wishing to address the board
and the hearing was closed.
TB Resolution 2017- 057 : SEAR: Proposed Local Law Amending Restaurant Drive-
Throu2h Provisions in the Community Commercial Zoning Provisions of Ithaca
Town Code Chapter 270
Whereas, this action is the enactment of a local law amending restaurant drive-through
provisions in the Community Commercial zoning provisions of Ithaca Town Code Chapter 270;
and
Whereas, this is a Type I Action for which the Town of Ithaca Town Board is acting as
Lead Agency in an environmental review with respect to the enactment of this local law; and
Whereas, the Town Board, at its regular meeting held on May 8, 2017, has reviewed and
accepted as adequate the Full Environmental Assessment Form (EAF), Parts 1, 2 and 3, for this

TB Resolution 2017 - 058: Adoption of Local Law 9 of 2017 Amending Restaurant Drive-
Throu2h Provisions in the Community Commercial Zoning Provisions of Ithaca Town
Code Chapter 270
Whereas, the Town's Community Commercial (CC)Zone, located on East Hill, allows
restaurant drive-through facilities with special permit, but requires that restaurants with drive-
through be a minimum of 1,500 feet apart, a distance that effectively restricts the zone to no
more than one restaurant drive-through given that no other restaurant could meet the 1,500
distance requirement due to the relatively small size of the CC Zone, and
Whereas, the Town Board, having been asked by a business owner to re-evaluate the
distance criteria and consider instead enacting criterion that would minimize impacts caused by
restaurant drive-throughs, referred the matter to the Planning Committee for a recommendation,
and
Whereas, the Planning Committee discussed and considered modifications to the
restaurant drive-through provisions in the CC Zone at their meetings on 1/19/17, 2/16/17, and
3/16/17 and recommend to the Town Board that the current 1,500 foot distance requirement
between restaurant drive-through facilities be eliminated and replaced with specific criteria
intended to minimize the impacts of drive-through facilities, and
Whereas, at its meeting on April 24, 2017, the Town Board reviewed and discussed the
proposed local law and scheduled a public hearing for May 8, 2017 at 5:30 p.m. to hear all
interested parties on the proposed local law entitled "A Local Law Amending Restaurant
Drive-through Provisions in the Community Commercial Zoning Provisions of Ithaca
Town Code Chapter 270", and
Whereas, notice of said public hearing was duly advertised in the Ithaca Journal, and
Whereas, said public hearing was duly held on said date and time at the Town Hall of the
Town of Ithaca and all parties in attendance were permitted an opportunity to speak on behalf of
or in opposition to said proposed local law, or any part thereof, and
Whereas,pursuant to the New York State Environmental Quality Review Act
("SEQRA") and its implementing regulations at 6 NYCRR Part 617, adoption of said local law is
a Type I Action for which the Town Board of the Town of Ithaca, acting as lead agency in an
environmental review with respect to adoption of this local law, has, on May 8, 2017, made a
negative determination of environmental significance, after having reviewed and accepted as
adequate the Full Environmental Assessment Form Parts 1, 2 and 3, and
TB 2017-05-08 pg. 7
Whereas, the Town Board finds it is in the best interest of the Town and its citizens to
adopt the local law, now, therefore, be it
Resolved, that the Town Board of the Town of Ithaca hereby adopts said local law
entitled "A Local Law Amending Restaurant Drive-through Provisions in the Community
Commercial Zoning Provisions of Ithaca Town Code Chapter 270", and it is further
Resolved, that the Town Clerk is hereby authorized and directed to file said local law
with the Secretary of State as required by law.
Moved: Rich DePaolo Seconded: Pat Leary
Vote: Ayes —DePaolo, Leary, Hunter, Howe, Goodman and Bleiwas
5. Continue discussion regarding short term rentals (STRs)
Mr. Goodman started the discussion by saying that he continues to look at other towns' handling
of this and many are requiring a registry which we are also looking at and he distributed a list of
a few with population and what they are doing. He thought a smaller group should look at this to
draft legislation. Discussion followed and the Board felt the Planning Committee should keep
this as it follows in some ways the regular rental registry they have been discussing.
Looking at the examples, some municipalities prohibit"un-hosted" STRs and a special permit
required for"hosted" which allowed for the revocation of that permit if problems were
experiences. They also set"quiet time" parameters. Un-hosted would be similar to owner-
occupied he thought. Other municipalities seemed more focused on sewer needs and parking
needs. There is a wide variety of restrictions but almost all require some sort of registry or
permit.
Mr. Goodman asked the Board to discuss and figure out what they want to see in legislation and
then get it to a committee to work on. He added that Jane Marie Law currently does hosted-
STRs and she would like to talk to the board and would be happy with only hosted but there are
other opinions out there.
Ms. Leary stated that she likes the owner-present or hosted-STRs because it seems to her that
many of the complaints are of the type that would be addressed by an owner on the premises.
Ms. Leary said that she was in favor of having the Planning Committee continue on this since
they have gotten this far already and suggested a moratorium while this is figured out because it
sounds like it has gotten out of hand. Ms. Brock was asked if that was possible and she
responded that she would have to look into it more, but it seems possible. A moratoria is on
what is currently legally allowed while the board is studying and drafting proposed new zoning
regulations which might make illegal that which is currently allowed. She added that there might
be some nuances that need to be looked at but it is probably ok. Mr. DePaolo asked how we
would attempt to delineate hosted from unhosted that would be problematic correct? and Ms.
Brock responded that it might because there are different issues with each.
TB 2017-05-08 pg. 8
Mr. DePaolo stated that based on some of the comments that have been made, it seems clear that
the board is trying to address a problem, and one of the problems is that as far as our code right
now is written and as far as our counsel has advised, we do not have a prohibition on STR in the
Town of Ithaca and he heard several times that"we need to enforce the code as written" and he
has not seen the code that prohibits this practice. We tried and started down this road under the
assumption we could and tried to hang our hat on a couple of state codes that did not apply to the
buildings in question in our town so we are left with a situation where we are scrambling to catch
up with an economic paradigm that has outpaced our ability to legislate. He wanted the residents
to understand that this is not an issue where we have something on the books that we are simply
choosing to ignore; we do not have a legal construct to eliminate STR in the Town of Ithaca so
we are not starting a legislative process that unfortunately is likely to take longer than the
residents would like it to take, but that doesn't mean we are not endeavoring to address the
problem.
Mr. DePaolo went on to say that as far as some of the concepts that have been raised tonight, he
thought that certainly we are going to entertain STR and integrate them into our Code and we
don't need to do that on a town-wide basis, but we can do it in a zone-specific basis and the idea
of owner-occupancy appeals to him but he has not read enough to know whether hosted vs un-
hosted would meet the balancing test that he has between allowing responsible owners to derive
some additional income versus removing a restriction that opens a Pandoras box of problems.
Mr. DePaolo thought we should be cognizant of the fact that this area has a number of popular
weekends but the 120 days is a non-starter for him; that is a business. He thought that as long as
we can build in a sense of responsibility that is what we need to do and remove the idea that
people can acquire properties for the purpose of running residential rental businesses without
having to meet the requirements of the bed and breakfast regulations.
Mr. Goodman asked Mr. DePaolo about the committee it should be with and he responded that
he was willing to take it on but was concerned about the work load and suggested that the
Planning Committee could start and flesh it out and then pass it along since they have a head
start on it and staff support. Ms. Leary responded that she would like Planning Committee to see
it through.
Ms. Hunter thought it should stay with the Planning Committee and she has tried to look at other
laws and bring herself up to date on the issue, but they are all over the place. She stated that she
agreed with Mr. DePaolo about the 120 days being too generous but she would like to see the
Board explore ways to hold the owners accountable and responsible with fines on them for
things that happen when it is rented.
Ms. Leary stated that the 120 day limit was actually associated to the number of days required to
live at a residence to be considered owner-occupied related to an accessory apartment which was
a discussion from the current 6-months plus a day timeframe.
Mr. Howe thought the topic should stay with Planning Committee and Ms. Bleiwas said she
agreed, but she would like to hear from others who are in this business and we need to hear from
everybody and what the feeling is town-wide and then decide how to address it.
TB 2017-05-08 pg. 9
Ms. Bleiwas addressed the speakers from earlier, saying that she has read a lot of letters and
emails saying that the board has already made up their minds or there are conflicts of interest, but
she does not think that anybody has made up their minds and we appreciate that you have
brought this to our attention and we are looking at it with an open mind. She said that she would
like to see more specifics instead of the general statements. Specific incidents that happen this
weekend or throughout the summer, let us know.
Mr. Goodman responded that Ms. Hunter and Ms. Bleiwas have both talked about hearing from
others and generally at the Board meetings we don't have an opportunity to do that, and he asked
if the full board would be interested in having a special meeting(s) to hear comments or to have
back and forth discussions with more residents.
Ms. Bleiwas would like to do that with some real outreach to all residents to hear all sides of the
issue.
Mr. Simpson addressed the Board again, saying that he doesn't understand about the moratorium
when they were told the town does not allow rentals under 30 days and that has been enforced
but now they are told it isn't enforceable. Why is it suddenly not enforceable when it has been
enforced effectively? Mr. Bates showed us the section of the Code that stated that. He asked
what they should do about the noise,parking and traffic and Mr. Goodman responded that he
should call Mr. Bates tomorrow.
Mr. Goodman went back to the Board and asked again about a special meeting and all members
were in favor and Mr. DePaolo said that he was in contact with Mr. Knipe from the County and
he offered to meet with the board.
Ms. Hunter stated that this seems like an important enough issue that we need to think hard about
how to facilitate the best possible community meeting to get input and we might want to think
about holding meeting with those that currently rent out and those that don't want that separately.
We might need a couple of meeting to find out what the problems are and what the impacts
would be of our legislation and whether people have ideas on how to manage this. It should be
well structured and maybe send out questions ahead of time.
The Board asked for more parameters from other municipalities to have some point of
compromise possible. Some discussion followed and will continue at subsequent meetings with
Mr. Knipe invited to a study session.
Ms. Leary asked for clarification on the less than 30-day being illegal and now not and Mr.
DePaolo responded that that area of State Code applies to multiple-residence buildings which are
defined as 3 or more units or 3 or more stories. Mr. Bates added that we were able to go after the
renter under our occupancy regulations and since that time, there has been more discussion with
the Board and counsel and found we cannot enforce that and we decided we will not until such it
until we get this figured out. In addition, the State Code changed to the ICC Code as of 2017 and
they have taken the inspection language basically out to essentially exempt single family homes
from this issue. Ms. Brock stated that the occupancy restrictions can be enforced.

Mr. Goodman brought the topic back to what the board would like to see prior to a special
meeting and he will send out possible dates. This discussion will continue at the Planning
Committee and the Study Session.
6. Discuss and consider setting a public hearing regarding a local law regulating Signs and
Murals
Mr. Goodman stated that he did meet with Ms. Hunter and Mr. Howe and discussed the first
amendment right and our inability to regulate the content of signs and the one item remaining is
the illumination provisions in the Mural law. The board discussed this briefly and agreed that
illumination should be prohibited to protect night sky and conservation.
Ms. Hunter asked about the wording"original" art and then allowing"digital form" and who
would make that call. Some discussion followed and Code Enforcement would make that call.
Mr. Goodman thought the requirement to affix it to a wall is going to control that. Ms. Leary
asked about the laser displays and Mr. Goodman responded that it must be affixed so that is not a
mural.

My name is Bill Gilligan, I'm a resident of the town of Ithaca and Chair of the Ithaca
Board of Fire Commissioners. I thank you Mayor and members of the Common Council
for the opportunity to speak briefly this evening regarding the proposed restructuring of
12 of the 28 volunteer Boards and Committees that serve the Ithaca community.
At next week's Board of Fire Commissioners Meeting we will be discussing the BCRWG
recommendation to create four umbrella commissions that would replace 12 current
Boards and Committees including the Board of Fire Commissioners. We will then be
able to provide a more formal response to the Common Council from the Board, but
given the rapidity with which this massive restructuring proposal appears to be moving
forward, I felt I needed to take advantage of this first opportunity for public input on
the proposal to voice some of my initial comments and concerns.
I would first like to commend the members of the working group for the tremendous
amount of work, thought, and effort that has gone into organizing the data, the issues,
and providing a graphic summary of the current Boards & Committees, and categorizing
them into related groups. They have provided an historical perspective on previous and
on-going efforts to more effectively utilize volunteers and their skills to benefit city
operations and services. This information is very useful in understanding the problems
that the working group is seeking to resolve. Further they have identified specific
infrastructure changes that would better support all the City's Boards & Committees,
It is clear that there are significant on-going resources required to support the City's 28
Boards & Committees and these require a significant amount of staff and common
council time and that the proposed restructuring of 12 of these groups into 4
Commissions is one scenario that potentially addresses at least some of the issues
identified by the Working Group,.
However, I'm very concerned with this Big Bang Theory approach to creating a solution
by blowing-up 12 of the current Boards, & Committees and then creating 4 new entities
that are expected to rapidly replace the work and service of the dissolved groups. There
may be unexpected and significantly detrimental consequences from this that could be
avoided or mitigated by a more incremental approach to resolving the issues.
For example, perhaps a number of the issues facing the current structure would be
significantly improved by moving ahead with infrastructure support required for any
new structure such as designing a new application and application process; creating a
data base of experts; providling recommended/required agenda formats; provide
training on running and participating in effective meetings to volunteers, and consider
having a task force or working group from the existing committees to address issues of
training and orienting members of the community who will be serving on Boards.
In conclusion, I would hope there could be opportunities to discuss both the details of
the transition to any new structure as well as considering alternatives to the current
proposed restructuring scenario
Thank you.

I' m Patty I. Porter and I live at 104 Juniper Drive, the street is south of Kendall
and Pennsylvania Ave. I want to talk to you about what happens yearly on the
Saturday after the last day of classes at Ithaca College and the unacceptable
behavior by thousands of Ithaca College students.
This day has become known locally and around the world from You Tube _h i :
youtu,be/6BEubvatURo as Kendall Day. My revealation this year was that
theYou Tube posts dating back to 2012 clearly show Sheriff's vehicles and
deputies in the mist of the party crowd. Which raises the question: is this a police
sanctioned event? I strongly suspect that some students chose to go to IC
becasue of the media representation of IC as a party school and that this is being
supported by our Sheriff's supervision of the event.
This year the amplified noise and shouting began beforel0 am. and continued
throughout the evening into the night with occasional fire works. It was it's worse
between 10 and 4. But the parties shift on to Coddington Road later in the night
so the disturbances continue.
I walked on the South Hill Recreation Trail and Pennsylvania Ave. and witnessed
the students (many underage), drunk with open containers of alchol, swearing,
littering, and publicly unrinating.
There was a huge police presence from the Sheriff's Department, complete with
standing officers at the beginning of Kendal Ave and an elegant command center
with tent, amenities, a van with more officers at the entrance to Therm. No
attempt was being made to enforce the existing noise ordinances (Town of
Ithaca 184-7) or the ordinances dealing with phroibition of parties (184-9), or
open container laws or public urination laws. I checked with my Town of Ithaca
Represenative, Rich DePalo and found that no party permits had been applied
for or issued. When I spoke to the officers they did not want to be quoted but
indicated that they are only to address the most agregious of offences and no
tickets had been issued thus far.
There is clearly some sort of sanction going on between Ithaca College and the
Sheriff's Department that ignors local laws and allows this behavior without
consequences to the students but with many negative consequences to the local
residents who are forgoing peace and security in our neighborhood as well as
paying for what looks like a Police Valet Service of the drunken debauchery of
Ithaca College Students. I have no idea how many students visited the
emergency room as a result of this day. I did see one ambluance leaving Kendal
Ave during my walk and I wittnessed numurous falls. Nor do I know how much of
my tax dollar goes for this service to the students.
If any resident decided to invite 4000 friends (that's what the police quoted at
Kendall this year) to thier house for debauchery I know their neighbors would
have the party shut down immediatly. Yet tax paying residents are paying for
suppervision of students who judging by the quantity of litter left behind care
nothing for the neighborhood.
For the past 10 years I've attended monthly meetings with Rory Rothman, other
IC officials, representatives from the Town and City and the Sheriff's Department
and the City of Ithaca Police to talk about these problems. They have resulted in
many letters to the students and a late night bus route. But I now realize that
these meetings have been a waste of my time since all reports are verbally
sympathized with at the time but there is no accountablility on the part of IC and
very few ticket issued by the sherif's department that might deter this behavior.
Sheriff Lansing has told me that it is too dangerous for his men to try to shut
down events of this size so they just hover around. He has also instructed his
officers to not write tickets becasue the local judges dismiss them or won't
enforce fines that might deter future parties, therefore wasting his officers time.
So that makes the work that the Town of Ithaca has done on creating noise
ordinances a waste of time also.
We are told time and time again that IC has no authority over students living off
campus. That is just scapgoating and actually encouraging the activity. It's not
good enoguh.
As it stands residents are paying high taxes for the ineffective police supervision.
Perhaps it would be better to issue party permits to students that require
documentation of private policing, liquior lisenses, insurance, and time limits.
Perhaps the sheriff could enforce that? that might resule in more controlled
parties or no parties at all.
To add a final insult to the experience. The sports complex on campus blarred
offensive music most of Sunday afternoon. There is no end to the colleges
insults to the neighbors.
Ten years ago this board thoughtfully addressed the IC dstudent noise problem
with Noise Ordinances and with a cooporating sheriff we were able to deter these
parties.
Please help find a solution to this current problem.

Full Environmental Assessment Form
Part 2 -Identification of Potential Project Impacts
Part 2 is to be completed by the lead agency. Part 2 is designed to help the lead agency inventory all potential resources that could
be affected by a proposed project or action. We recognize that the lead agency's reviewer(s)will not necessarily be environmental
professionals. So,the questions are designed to walk a reviewer through the assessment process by providing a series of questions that
can be answered using the information found in Part 1. To further assist the lead agency in completing Part 2,the form identifies the
most relevant questions in Part 1 that will provide the information needed to answer the Part 2 question. When Part 2 is completed,the
lead agency will have identified the relevant environmental areas that may be impacted by the proposed activity.
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 Part 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.

and
Determination of Significance
Part 3 provides the reasons in support of the determination of significance. 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 further 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.

• 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.
• Attach additional sheets,as needed.

Part 3—Addendum
Amending Restaurant Drive-Through Provisions in the
Community Commercial Zone of the Ithaca Town Code
The proposal includes eliminating the provision in the Community Commercial Zone requiring that new
restaurants with drive-through facilities not be located within 1,500 feet of the property boundary line of
an existing restaurant with a drive-through facility. This provision would be replaced with new language
incorporating drive-through design and placement criteria to help address potential impacts associated
with restaurant drive-through facilities.
The current 1,500 foot requirement essentially prohibits more than one restaurant drive-through facility
from locating in the Town's only CC zone (in the East Hill Plaza area). This is due to the CC Zone being
relatively small in size and less than 1,500 feet wide in any direction. Burger King is the current
restaurant occupant of the CC Zone that has a drive-through facility. Drive-through facilities for banks
and pharmacies do not have the same restriction and several are located throughout the CC Zone.
The proposed action is likely to result in the Dunkin Donuts restaurant,located at the southwestern
periphery of the CC Zone, to seek to augment their business with a drive-through facility. The proposed
amendment will also make it possible for a new restaurant(s)with drive-through facilities to locate in the
Community Commercial(CC) Zone, assuming it can comply with the new criteria. Currently Town Code
has no provisions concerning the placement and design of drive-through facilities. The proposed criteria
includes: requiring a minimum length for a drive-through lane (165 ft./ 8 cars);requiring a minimum
distance between the end of the drive-through lane and where the entrance drive intersects with the public
right-of-way(60 ft.); requiring drive-through lanes to be clearly delineated and separate from traffic
aisles;prohibiting drive-through lanes and service windows on building frontages;insuring that
pedestrian access to the building entrances, from the main parking areas, do not pass through the drive-
through lane; and requiring that any portion of the drive-through lane be a minimum of 60 feet from any
residential zone.
Impacts generally associated with drive-through facilities include noise from drive-through call box
speakers,traffic spillage onto public roads due to insufficient length of the drive-through lane, and air
quality impacts from idling cars. The proposed criteria seeks to address impacts from noise on nearby
residences by the establishing a minimum distance requirement between a residential zone and the drive-
through lane. Impacts due to traffic spillage are addressed with new design requirements that mandate a
drive through lane that can accommodate 8 cars (165 ft.)plus requiring an additional 60 feet from the end
of the drive-through lane to the public right of way.
In terms of air quality/greenhouse gas emissions impacts from idling vehicles, the enactment of the local
law is not anticipated to result in multiple new restaurant drive-through facilities locating in the CC Zone.
Much of the CC Zone is already built out and most of the remaining undeveloped land(and developed
property)is owned by Cornell University(CU). In the near future, CU intends to redevelop the plaza and
other lands in the CC Zone, converting it from an auto-oriented commercial/office center to one that is
more pedestrian-friendly and village-like.New zoning, developed by the Town to enable this type of
development,will further assess the drive-through provisions (for all business types)to insure that the
goals of a pedestrian-oriented development can be realized. Given the relatively small size of the CC

Community Commercial Zone of the Ithaca Town Code
Zone and unlikelihood of it ever having a large number of drive-through restaurant facilities,potential air
quality impacts would not be considered significant.
Overall, the proposed amendments to the CC Zone regarding drive-through facilities are not anticipated to
have significant impacts.

Board of Fire Commissioners
Report to Ithaca Town Board
May 8,2017
The following is a summary of the Board of Fire Commissioners quarterly report to the Ithaca
Town Board for the first quarter of 2017.
Included with this report are:
• The Fire Chief's Report given at the April 11, 2017 BFC meeting. This includes the Fire
Marshal's Report & Fire Prevention Bureau activity.
• The department call activity reports for January 1- March 31. 2017. Total calls for the
first quarter were 1,184 (slightly lower than the 1st quarter of the prior 2 years — 1,228 &
1,197 respectively).
• The financial operations summary through March 31, 2017.
Fire Department Operational Staffing (March 31, 2017).
• As of March 31, 2017 the active Uniformed staff totaled 63 (1 Chief, 6 Assistant Chiefs,
8 lieutenants, & 46 Fire Fighters plus 1 Deputy Chief on per diem). In addition there is
1 Administrative Coordinator for a total of 64 personnel.
• In addition to these 63 uniformed staff, 4 additional fire fighters have been hired and are
currently undergoing training. They are expected to be available and assigned to shift
duty later this summer. These positions are fully funded by a federal SAFER grant (see
grants below).
Budget- The 2017 Ithaca City budget approved by Common Council in November
2016, 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.
As of March 31, 2017 of the $6,298,082 operating budget(excludes benefit costs and debt
service) $1,435,475 or slightly less than 23% of the approved funds have been spent.
Training Facility The Chief reported that the Department's Rope Rescue Tower and the burn
building have been temporarily placed out of service as a result of some potential structural
safety issues with them. Stopen Engineering was contracted with and the Chief will be
reviewing their report on the facilities with them and the City Engineer to develop a plan for
repairing the facility. He anticipates that the buildings will be available in a few weeks after
mitigation work is performed. The longer term status of the training facility and its location will
be a topic included in the development of the Department's Strategic plan.
Strategic Plan for Fire Department - The Mayor has asked the Board of Fire Commissioners
to take the lead in developing a strategic plan for the Fire Department. The Board began
discussions of what the planning process would entail at its January meeting. Subsequent to the
January discussion, a meeting was held with the Mayor to clarify the scope of this effort and the
potential resources available to support the effort. A special BoFC meeting was held on April
25th to focus more closely on how to organize the planning effort. Previous Strategic plans
developed by the department have been distributed to the Board for review including the 1986
effort that developed the plan for the current relationship between the City and the Town for Fire
Services, including the relocation of two fire stations from the City to the Town and increasing

the Board of Fire Commissioners from 3 to 5 individuals with the intent that this two positions
would be filled by individuals recommended by the Town Board. The group is looking at other
strategic plans from other departments and the NYS document on developing a strategic plan.
The Board is discussing the scope of the planning effort both in terms of the time span to be
considered 5-10 -20 years, the breadth of the study—current service area or including issues of
concern to other fire districts in the County. We are also reviewing documents such as the ISSO
report received last fall and the Station 9 relocation study. A member of the BFC has been
named to the County EMS Task Force and the information from this group will be incorporated
into our planning process development. The Board recognizes that to develop a comprehensive
plan will in all likelihood require establishing a separate Ad Hoc group that will allow broad
participation by a variety of stakeholders and subject area experts on issues that need to be
considered in the plan. We also wish to make sure that this important effort will be structured
such that the work involved can continue even if the City makes changes to the role of the Board
of Fire Commissioners or consolidates its functions into one of four proposed commissions that
are under discussion by the Common Council.
Boards & Committees Reorganization Working Group —two members of the BoFC
participated in the May 2, 2017 meeting held by the BCRWG with members of the 12 entities
that the working group has proposed be merged into 4 Commissions that would become
responsible for the tasks and functions previously covered by those 12 entities. Seven of the
twelve groups were represented at this meeting and all indicated that they had significant
concerns about the proposed change. Concerns were expressed about loss of focus on the areas
that the existing groups have been tasked to cover and a loss of diversity of opinions and
perspectives with the proposed restructuring. Concern was also expressed that the structural
support issues that affect the current groups should be addressed before making any
reorganizational changes —i.e. develop a new application that will better identify volunteer's area
of interest and expertise, better web based information on need for and opportunities for
volunteering with the city, identify and share best practices by existing committees, etc.
The members of the BCRWG indicated that they anticipated that the 4 commissions would
allow a more efficient and consistent use of city staff resources since some of the groups do not
currently have staff support or a common Council liaison attending their meetings. It will
provide a standard path for issues to be brought before Common Council and provide groups that
the Common Council can refer issues to for consideration.
The BCRWG members indicated that they will be meeting to consider the input provided by
those attending the meeting.
Apparatus - The two new pumper engines, ordered from Seagrave Fire Apparatus, LLC and
received earlier in the year, are in service.
Grants
The Department 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. It is expected that the new
compressor will be installed by the end of May.
The department was awarded a$634,016 SAFER (Staffing for Adequate Fire and
Board of Fire Commissioners
Report to Ithaca Town Board
May 8,2017
Emergency Response) grant to add 4 additional career staff to the department for a 2 year period.
The positions are fully funded on the grant and require that no reduction from current staffing
levels occur during the grant period. At the end of the period the City will have to determine if
the positions will continue to be supported on the department's operating budget. Four
individuals have been hired to fill these positions and are currently in training and will be
assigned to a shift sometime this summer.
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: htlp://www.cityofithaca.org/367/Board-of-Fire-Commissioners
BFC Appointments - Currently all positions on the Board are filled. Mr. Larry Salinger, Town
of Ithaca, took his oath of office prior to the Board's April meeting and is a valuable addition to
the Board. Two Commissioners have terms ending June 30, 2017: Commissioner Sparks from
the City and Commissioner Gilligan from the Town.
Volunteer Program Development
There are currently 14 active members of Volunteer Company No. 9 who serve the department.
In addition, there are 3 provisional members of the Company, currently enrolled in the County's
Basic Exterior Fireground Operations course (BEFO). They will complete this course in the
next few weeks. A113 are interested in becoming certified as interior firefighters and it is
expected that the County will offer the interior training course later this year. There is also 1
new provisional member who will be attending the Cortland County 3 week"bootcamp"interior
firefighter training session this summer.
An open house and volunteer recruitment event was held in conjunction with FASNY's
(Firemen's Association of the State of New York) statewide recruiting weekend on April 291h at
Station 1 —Central fire house. Unfortunately, this effort did not result in any response from the
public or individuals interested in learning about volunteering with the department. Volunteer
Company 9 and Department will be reviewing this effort and seeing what options are available
for making the public more aware of the fact that Ithaca is a combination Fire Department.
An ad hoc committee consisting of 2 members of the Board(Commissioners Gilligan &
Guttridge), Chief Parsons, Assistant Chief/Training Officer Weinstein,plus a member from
Company 9 will continue working to address various volunteer issues including training,
recruitment, and retention.
Other Items & Items in progress
1 There has been an improvement in the on-going issue with the CAD (computer aided
dispatch) system used by the 911 Center. It appears that software and hardware updates
made by the dispatch center as well as quality control training have improved the
Center's protocol for dispatching a Fire Engine to certain lower risk EMS calls. This will
potentially allow a reduction in the number of EMS calls requiring a response from the
Department. The 911 Center is in the process of installing and testing an automatic voice

dispatch system. The new dispatch system will cause an automated voice to be
transmitted alerting responders of an emergency incident.
2 The Board is holding information sessions regarding departmental operations prior to the
beginning of the formal BFC meetings. 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 are
working with the Board's Common Council Liaison Gearhart, the Common Council, and
Town Board to clarify and update the role of the BFC.
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 Training facility will be
included in the strategic planning process.

In March, Stopen Engineering was contracted to perform a structural inspection
on our Rope Rescue Tower and the Burn Building at the training center. On April
6th, I received the engineer's report for the Burn Building. The engineer has
recommended that the building not be used until some items identified in their
report are repaired. I will be scheduling a meeting with the City Engineer and
Stopen Engineering to go over the report, and to develop a plan for repairing the
facility. Based on a phone conversation with the engineer, I anticipate the
building will be available for training in a few weeks after some mitigation work
is performed. I will provide the Board of Fire Commissioners an update at next
month's meeting.
