ia9 PUBLIC HEARING # 1 SPECIAL PERMIT - Jim Ray Mobile Home Park JUNE 14 , 1983 901 Dryden Rd . , Ithaca , NY Minutes of public hearing # 1 commencing at 7 : 30PM • Supv Cotterill read the notice that was published in the newspaper to consider the application of James Ray , Newfield for a special permit to extend his mobile home park at 901 Dryden Rd . in Varna by 28 units . QUESTIONS AND / OR COMMENTS Jim Ray showed the board members a map and plans of his proposed expansion and left the map on file with the town . for their records . It has been approved by the Tomp . County Health Dept . • Closed public hearing 7 : 45PM PUBLIC HEARING # 2 PROPOSED LOCAL LAW # 2r1983 ENFORCEMENT OF NYS UNIFORM JUNE 14 , 1983 FIRE PREVENTION & .: BUILDING CODE Minutes of public hearing commencing at 7 : 45PM Supv •Cotterill read the notice that was published in the newspaper to consider the proposed Local Law # 2 - 1983 which would transfer the responsibility of enforcement of the Uniform Fire Prevention and Building Code from the Town of Dryden to the County of Tompkins or the State of New York , whichever is appropriate . QUESTIONS AND / OR COMMENTS • Supv Cotterill reported that there is a - mandated state fire and building code to take effect Jan 1st 1984 . The town is obligated by . state law to enforce it unless the town wants to opt out . The town can opt out and turn it over to the county to enforce it or the county can opt out and pass it on to the state . If all of the towns and counties opt out the state will have to enforce their own law . Cim Evans felt that this is ' a very difficult issue, because he • personally does not like the idea of delegating the responsiblity of enforceability to a higher authority of which you have no control over the policy by which it might be enforced . The problem is that the town is stuck with it and we had no say with what was in it . We have no ' control over the provisions and all we are told to • do is enforce it . Co Rep Watros - the liability associated with the enforcement of the law are absolutely horrendous for that reason alone , not even to mention the cost of staffing to cover all of the activities in the county `. If the town passes this on to . : the county you can assume that the county is certainly going ' to pass it along to the state . So if it is enforced , the state is going to : have to fund a department for enforcing it . Supv Cotterill agreed with Clm • Evans , and also his personal opinion was that if it was enforceable and the town knew what was in it ; he would rather see it enforced locally . If there ever is a disaster , ' somebody will have ' to accept the responsibility because it wasn ' t enforced '. Until he knows more about it ; he doesn ' t want to put our taxpayers in a position if that' disaster ever happened intourtown to accept that liability . The law does allow us , if it is ever put ` into commonsense where it could be enforceable , it allows us to bring it back to local control at a later date . Supv Cotterill also would not want to see the county accepting the responsibility anymore than he would the town at this moment . Closed public hearing # 2 8 : 00PM TOWN BOARD MEETING JUNE 14 , 1983 Minutes of the Town Board meeting held on June 14th Supv Cotterill called the meeting to order at 8 : 00PM Members and guests participated in the Pledge of Allegiance . ' RESOLUTION # 89 REAPPOINT MERTON WEBB TO THE TOWN BOARD Clm Evans offered the following resolution and asked for its adoption : RESOLVED , that this Town Board reappoint Merton Webb to fill ' the . vacancy for the remainder of the year on the Town Board . 2nd Clm Metzger Roll call vote -- all voting YES • 130 Roll call was by the Town Clerk : Present : Supv Cotterill , Clm Metzger , Clm Evans Clm Webb , Atty Perkins and Z : O : Stewart Absent : Clm Jordan Supv Cotterill appointed Clm Metzger to audit the highway bills Approval of the minutes : Motion was made by Clm Metzger and seconded by Clm Evans that the minutes of three public hearings and town board meeting held of May 10th ; public hearing on May 24th and special meeting on May 24th ; and special meeting on May 31st be approved as submitted . COUNTY BRIEFING Co Rep Jim Ray reported that he hoped the German Cross. Rd Bridge could be built this season . The issue will have to come back to the County Board o f Representatives for a final vote because the amount budgeted is about 10 to 20 percent under . He hoped there will . be support . for It and ' to send a message through your representatives . The reason for : the last delay is because of the change ' in the design to accommodate the neighborhood and the flooding situation . Supv Cotterill - this board is in firm agreement there should be something done as fast as possible with the bridge and we will certainly give you our support . Co Rep Tillapaugh - reported that they will soon know as to whether or not the county hospital will be sold . He would like any comments one way or the other as to moving the county offices there . Co Rep Tillapaugh - He has been appointed to a committee ; Capitol Purchase Advisory Committee and is 1 of 17 members , which ' is in regard to medical care and expense accounts . Last year Gov . Carey appointed a committee to study the high cost of medical care in the state and to make some recommendations as to how the care can be kept at the . same level or reduced . As a result ' . there is a ✓ ecommendation that there be a moratorium on all capital expenditures for hospitals , mental institutions , and nursing . homes for any type of expenditures . The state government is trying to force upon us doing -away with the more highly t echnical surgical and medical .procedure with which we are accustomed to in Tompkins County and that equipment will be centered in the larger urban areas like Syracuse , Rochester , Elmira and Buffalo . All hospitals , nursinglhomes and diagnostic centers are required ' to send to this committee their projection for the next 5 years as to what their capitol expenditures will be and .listed in terms of priority . This committee will study all of these various statements from the different organizations and send . the priorites as to what hospital should have what . He can see that the bigger hospitals are going to receive the highest priority and the smaller hospitals are going to receive the lower priority . He would like the boards reaction as to whether or not we should start to do something about it or ' accept what the state is going to do to try and lower the cost of medical care . Clm Evans - felt that this ruling blocked the. acquisition of a secondhand_ kat- scanner at the hospital . Co Rep Tillapaugh said no , there was a technicality at the time the request was received . Clm Evans - pointed out that with the scanner there it can be proven to actually ✓ educe medical costs for Tompkins County residents , so it would be a sad situation. if it got blocked , infact it would increase medical costs . ' 'The other thing that concerns him is that if all of the top medical equipment is going to " the larger hospitals , than doctors have no choice but to move with it . and the .prophet is self- fulfilling . It would be . very . unfortunatefor this area . • TOWN CLERK RESOLUTION # 90 APPOINT ELECTION CUSTODIANS Clm Metzger offered the following resolution and asked for its adoption : RESOLVED , that this Town Board appoint John Morey , Democrat and Joseph Petersen , Republican as custodians of the voting machines at a fee of $ 350 . 00 each r for the ' year 1983 . 2nd Clm Evans Roll call vote - all voting yes RESOLUTION # 91 PAY POLLING PLACES Clm Evans offered the following resolution and asked for its adoption : RESOLVED , that the ' following polling places receive $ 100 . 00 each for the year 1983 for the use of their facilities : Varna , Etna (Houtz : Hall ) , Etna Fire Station , Bethel Grove , Ellis Hollow Community Center , Freeville Fire Station and Dryden Fire ;Station . . 2nd Clm Webb Roll call vote - all voting YES i31 RESOLUTION # 92 APPOINT ELECTION INSPECTORS • Clm Webb offered the following resolution and asked for its adoption : RESOLVED, that the following be appointed as election ' inspectors for the term 7- 1- 83 to 6- 30- 84 AND BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED , that the rate paid will be $ 56 . 00 for ' Election Day , $ 35 . 00 for Primary Day , . and $ 28 . 00 for Registration Day , and an additional $ 5 . 00 be paid to the person who handles the bag except for Dist . # 6 ; # 7 and # 10 . .

THEREFORE , IT IS HEREBY ORDERED , by the Town Board of the Town of Dryden ; Tompkins County , New York ,, as follows : / 3 _3 5ecj •pl __ 1 . A meeting of the Town Board of the Town of Dryden , Tompkins County , New York , shall be held • at Town Hall , 65 East Main Street , in Dryden , New York , • in said Town , on the _ 29th day of _ June , 1 983 , at 7 : 30 c ° clock P .

Section 3 . This order shall take effect immediately . The question of the adoption of the foregoing order was duly put to a vote on roll call , which resulted as follows : " E . COTTERILL A e CLINTON 0 VCTIN G _ __ � •_,_ CHARLES EVANS VOTING Aye MERTON WEBB : _ VOTING _ Aye JON METZGER VOTING _ Aye The order was thereupon declared duly adopted . Atty Perkins reported that we have a statutory rule that does not allow us to adopt ' a local law unless there have been at least 5 days public notice . He would like to note that . the difference in what we are doing here is that we are having a public hearing on a proposal which statutorily sets 10 days as the amount of time . Local laws , are set at 5 days . and the provision is in Municipal Home Rule Law . By local law you can shorten that time from 5 days to 3 days . It seems that the Town Board might want _ to consider adopting • such a local law' in case we were ever caught in a time ftamewe would have an additional 2 days . . Olin Evans introduced proposed local law # 3- 1983 providing for public notice relating to adoption of local laws / Supv Cotterill scheduled a public hearing for June 29th Atty Perkins reported on the Industrial Development Agency . A request was made to Assemblyman Sam MacNeil ' s Office for the legislature to adopt a special act to establish the Town of Dryden Industrial Development Agency . This was done at the request of the adhoc IDA research committee under the direction of Roger Lampila . It is a creation of a corporate entity . As a seperate entity it has the power to contract to bond or to own property . If it owns property , ,.._.. . 3 'i- the property is exempt from real property taxation . The bonding issues are usually exempt from local and state income taxes . It is a bonding and ownership vehicle where as the town can use this agency to attract industry and commercial interprises ' into the town . Any obligation the IDA makes , it is not binding upon the town since it is a seperate entity . They have taken the- step and made a decision so they are not sure if it will be acted upon this year or not since it is late in the legislative year . Atty Perkins - Ithaca Area Wastewater Treatment Project . Gave the Town Board a set of maps ' which were prepared by Tom Miller showing the environmentally sensitive areas for the Ithaca service sewer areas which is basically in the Varna and Fall Creek water shed areas . The NYSDEC in Albany wanted the Town to adopt a nonbinding resolution . that the town will accept this map , so far as we know as being the map which currently and correctly delineates the environmentally sensitive areas within the proposed Ithaca ' Area Wastewater Treatment study area and service area .

QUESTIONS AND / OR COMMENTS Atty Perkins reported that the State Comptroller has signed an order authorizing the increase for the maximum amount proposed to be ex ended . The State Comptroller , l. based upon our originarequest and not th'e ngin rin /fie ues � , . mide his computations based on a $ 375 , 000 . 00 cost . It is the opinion of the State Comptroller ' s office that although the cost of $ 375 , 000 . 00 is high it is not prohibitively high . We are only asking for $ 353 , 000 . 00 from the engineers report . The State Comptroller ' s office has said there is no problem with the request for $ 353 , 000 . 00 and we are free to act without prejudice . Adjourned Atty Perkins reported that the Dryden School needs to know by their organizational meeting on July 5th whether or not the town wants to undertake the collection of the school taxes . They need to know by that time so they can make arrangements when they have the bills printed . There was some discussion and the town decided not to collect the taxes . RESOLUTION # 113 TOWN OF DRYDEN WILL NOT COLLECT DRYDEN SCHOOL TAXES Clm Evans offered the following resolution and asked for its adoption : RESOLVED , that this Town Board will notify the Dryden Central School that the Town of Dryden is not interested in collecting the school taxes . 2nd Clm Webb Roll call vote - all voting YES Supv Cotterill had a formula and worksheet prepared with figures based on 10 years . The formula is 40 percent unit charge , 40 percent assessment charge and 20 percent pipe _ ' footage charge . These figures are on the high side and are figured on a 10 year basis because the interest was a lot less . Bill Petrillose - wanted to know how many people on the list received an increase in their assessment this year ? Supv Cotterill - -- couldn ' t answer , but the figures were taken off the current tax roll . Bill Petrillose - his assessment jumped 14 percent this year . He has spoken with the Assessment Dept and was told that because of what was happening with the proposed sewer district is why his assessment was raised . He only found 3 other people in this proposed district that their assessment has been raised . Supv Cotterill - he felt that if his assessment was raised based upon a sewer that hasn ' t even been funded , he would have some judge decide that . The assessors are not even aware of where we are on the sewer dist . We are not even sure if we are going to build a sewer district . All we are doing is what we feel we can do and submitt the papers to DEC . PUBLIC HEARING # 2 June 29 , 1983 PROPOSED LOCAL LAW # 3- 1983 Minutes of public hearing # 2 - 7 : 45PM Supv Cotterill read the notice that was published in the newspaper to consider a proposed local law which would shorten the public notice required from 5 days to 3 days before a public hearing could be held on a proposed local law . QUESTIONS AND OR COMMENTS None Closed public hearing 7 : 50PM Atty Perkins wanted to point out to Mr. Petrillose that his comments are directed at 2 different hearings that we are having . One is the actual proposal to increase the maximum amount proposed to be expended in the district , which contemplates the 2 substantial grants and aids . The second part is the benefit assessment that will be made by the town board after construction . The town board decided to have a public hearing early to let the people know what is ahead of them and the direction that we were heading . Until construction has actually been completed is time to startpaying on the bonds . There will not be any part of the assessment roll completed by the board for the district . As soon as construction is completed and the bond schedule is in place , then the board will certify to the Town Clerk and the Tax Collector every year this particular assessment roll for the district on the basis for the benefit to be levied , for this particular district . The benefit basis that the board has chosen to go with is the 40 - 40 20 formula . Supv Cotterill - the figures on the sheet are not 100 percent accurate because the number of units and the assessment could change . This is as close as we could get with what figures we had to work with right now . It is mainly there to allow citizens to see how it would be split up , but it might vary slightly . This is not a set schedule for the first year , but just a guideline . We have agreed with the village that a trailer will be considered three- quarters of a unit . Atty Perkins - that wouldn ' t apply to this schedule because this is the benefit assessment that would be charged to the users of the sewer system that are particularly benefited by it . We are free to establish our own formula . PUBLIC HEARING # 3 June 29 , 1983 PROPOSED LOCAL LAW # 4 - 1983 Minutes of public hearing # 3 8 : 00PM . Supv Cotterill read the notice that was published in the newspaper to consider certain revisions which have been made in Proposed Local Law # 1 - 1983 , which is now known as Proposed Local Law ## 4 - 1983 , which local law pertains to the installation , regulation and operation of the Cortland Road Sewer District in the Town of Dryden . QUESTIONS AND / OR COMMENTS Atty Perkins - there is no substantive change intended . Therone change that the town did make was based upon the discussion about the connection fee , which would be $ 300 . 00 for a single connection or the actual cost to the district which ever is greater . Article 9 has been deleted in its entirety because the body of that . is included in the sewer rent law . Adjourned . PUBLIC HEARING # 4 June 29 , 1983 PROPOSED LOCAL LAW # 5 - 1983 Minutes of public hearing # 4 8 : 15PM Supv Cotterill read the notice that was published in the ndwspaper to consider a proposed local law which would be the Sewer Rent Law for the Cortland Road Sewer District . QUESTIONS AND / OR COMMENTS Atty Perkins - the Town is authorized pursuant to the General Municipal Law to enact for a sewer district a sewer rent law . This is what we would do for the Cortland Rd Sewer Dist . to cover the actual usage of the system . The hearing that is scheduled for 8 : 30PM , which there already has been some discussion on the 40- 40- 20 breakdown has to do with paying for the initial capital construction . Basically , what we have in the sewer rent law is the charges that we have to pay the village . We have the same definition for units that are in the intermunicipal agreement dated October 1982 , and the same basic collection system contemplated occurring semi- annually . Obviously , the district will pay the village timely so the district does not incur a penalty and in return we will expect timely payments from our users . There is also a provision about the installation of water meters , how the sewer rent is to be calculated that is the basic charge and the surcharge using the same water usage formula that the village currently has . Section 7 has to do with the sewer rent fund , which is statutory . That is basically incorporated in the provision of our local law with the same provision acquired for the district to establish the rent fund . There is a provision certifing to the town of any unpaid amounts can be applied to town taxes . There was some discussion . • I qv Bill Petrillose - wanted- to know about meter hook-ups ? Atty Perkins -- one meter will be installed for each sewer • hook-up . PUBLIC HEARING # 5 June 29th , 1983 Method & Mode of benefit assessments for the properties situate in the Cortland Rd . Sewer Dist . Minutes of public hearing . # 5 8 : 30PM Supv Cotterill• read the notice that was published in the newspaper to consider the method and mode of the benefit assessments for the properties situate in the Cortland Rd Sewer Dist , said proposed benefit assessments to be based generally as 40 % of . the proposed annual amount to be raised based upon the number o f units ; 40 % of the proposed annual amount to be based upon assessed valuation ; and . 20 % of the proposed annual amount : . to be based upon the number of pipe feet o f sewer main . installed on the particular tax parcel . . QUESTIONS AND / OR COMMENTS . Atty Perkins - this particular aspect of it is not something. that DEC cares about ✓ ight now . We decided to have this public hearing at this time because it is close in time to increase the maximum amount proposed to be expended and to give the users of the district an idea based on current facts and figures what the cost will be . Dr . Robert Jacobson - wanted • to know the definition of a unit ? Supv Cotterill - we are not sure yet on what will determine a . unit . What we used here was the engineers estimates and his proposals . A trailer was figured as 3 / 4 of a unit . There was a figure for a carwash , one for a laundramat , another ' for apartments and another figure for business places . These are not definite figures , the total number of . units could go up or down . Dr Jacobson -- wanted to know if there were going to be additional meetings as to what consitutes a unit ? • Supv Cotterill - if there are any comments we would like to hear them tonight • because there probably be any other public hearings unless •by law we . are required to . Dr Jacobson - , didn ' t feel 3 people working at . a business office would be as • great as 3 people living . in . a trailer . . Atty Perkins = the unit figures that are on the schedule worksheet were taken from the original engineers report prepared by Morrell Vrooman Engineers over ' . 2 years ago . These are figures - that we are assuming are correct for purposes of -illustration- only. . The village ' and the district will have a contract with which the village will bill the district for use based upon usage and units . That in • turn will be passed on to the • users of the district on whatever formula the district decides . What we are looking at here may or may not have unit defined the same way . • This formula has to ' collect the capital construction cost from the parcels that are particularly benefited . ' It is logical - that we might use the :same definition of units . in this formula ' that we ' use all the way through but we are not bound to it . By town law we are bound to assessment basis to the parcels benefited by the sewer district and to collect the charges accordingly . The users have a time to comment every year when we file the assessment roll . If there is a correction - in - it you • have • an opportunity to be heard and - it can be corrected at that time . There will not be any roll completed or 'certified until after the construction has been completed . . RESOLTUION . # 114 RATIFY THE EXECUUIION OF THE • • AMMENDED . CONTRACT FOR THE. .

Roll call vote - all voting YES ' ' /1 6 0 r Atty Perkins reported that since public hearing # 5 regarding the method and mode of the benefit assessments for the properties in the Cortland Road Sewer District is basically a public informational meeting and construction has not been completed the town is not in a position to adopt a roll or certify a roll for collection , so there is to be no action taken at this time . Nothing can be done until you know the amount to be raised , what the assessed values are and number of units there are and the actual pipe footage . Adjourned : 9 : 15PM • Susanne Lloyd Town Clerk
