Supv Cotterill read the notice that was published in the newspaper on a proposed
. Ordinance of the Town of Dryden amending " Ordinance 65 Exemption " adopted
Sept . 13 , 1966 pursuant to Real Property ' . Tax Law Section 467 providing for
partial exemption of real property owned by certain persons 65 years of age or
older with. limited ,income . The proposed Ordinance is pursuant to Real Property
Tax Law Sect . 467- d which would provide for a graduated ' exemption based upon
a graduated scale' of maximum income . . -
' QUESTIONS AND/OR ' COMMENTS
Atty Perkins - in the past it has been the policy of the Town to give a tax
break to certain senior citizens . It is 50 percent off their bill under a
certain income level . The Real Property Tax Law was amended to provide
income ranges for . a sliding scale effect . The proposal now is to have a
graduated reduction in the amount of exemptions . The formula for the income range
is : $10 , 500 to $10 , 999 - 45 % exemption ; $11 , 000 to $11 , 499 - 40 % exemption ;
$11 , 500 to $11 , 999 - 35 % exemption ; $12 , 000 to $12 , 499 30 % exemption ; $12 , 500
to $12 , 999 - 25 % exemption ; ' $13 , 000 to $13 , 499 - 20 % exemption ; and over
$13 , 492 O % exemption . The Town does have a current exemption policy and
this would increase the income level now from $10 , 500 to a maximum amount of
$13 , 499 and would increase the amount of exemption -. available .

Proposed Amendment to Cable Television Franchise
American Community Cablevision
•
Minutes of public hearing # 3 8 : 00PM .
Supv Cotterill read the notice that was published in the newspaper concerning
the proposed amendment to the Town ' s Cable Television Franchise with American
Community Cablevision . The proposed amendment would among other things effect
changes in themonth-ly service charge to subscribers .
QUESTIONS AND/OR COMMENTS
Atty Perkins -- the town originally entered into a franchise agreement with Dryden
Community Television in 1961 . The Sammons Franchise that we are operating under
expired on Dec . 1981 . The basic rate is $ 6 : 00 per month for cable service and
3 percent gross revenues . The Other franchise in the Town is the former Ceracche
Franchise and expires on April 12 , 1991 . It also provided for a •basic charge of
$6 . 00 per month and 1 percent gross revenues . We are permitted to charge up to
a maximum of 3 percent . The line extension policy in the Ceracche Franchise is
none . The original franchise that was adopted in 1966 is silent as to provisions
for line extension , until 1975 when Resolution $141 was adopted at the request of
Mr Ceracche and this proported to be the line extension policy of the franchise .
After much research with NYS Commission on Cable Television he found out
that Mr Ceracche never made application_ to the_ Cable Commission for the approval
of Resolution , # 141 to have it become part of the franchise , although that was
the intent atI' the time . The cable company , insists that the franchise provision
policy is at least the minimum provision that the State Commission will require
in any new amended franchise . 595 . 5 requirements for construction of cable
television plant and. provision of cable service is not. part of the franchise
and we are not bound by it . It is really a recommendation of the NYS Commission .
The condition is that if a franchise is brought to the Town for an amendment
for renewal it must have a cable extension provision in it . The proposed
basic rate is $ 8 . 00 per month . This proposal includes 595 . 5 of the rules
and regulations regarding the line extension policy . Both franchises are
non- exclusive . It has been the policy of the Town to grant non -exclusive
franchises , - 'nieanhtig that any 'number of franchises could operate within the
. Town . ' Atty Perkins felt • that th'e Town should negotiate a new franchise that
covers the whole Town °with American Community Cablevision including the
termination date ; equalization of gross revenue franchise . tax provision and
line extension . ' There was some discussion . There are 1827 subscribers in the
Town and 86 plant miles . . _
Ed Salino - wanted to know what the future intension was for cable service on
Ringwood Rd and Midline Rd ?
Supv Cotterill - the petition has been filed with the cable company . They have
done their study and the report of Ringwood Rd , Midline Rd and Hunt Hill Rd . ,
a distance of 5 . 3 miles with 75 dwellings , - the installation cost would be $ 375 . 00
if they all take the service . There-was some discussion .
Mr Sheridan , Manager for ATC , - the cost for construction of line extension is
$10 , 000 . 00 per mile .
•
Supv Cotteri1l - wanted to know what the town residents were going to receive
if the rate increase was granted?.
•
Mr Sheridan _ maintaining the system , and increase the services that are now
provided . They • intend to add 6 or 7 , new satelite services on , the expanded service .
It will .be cable network news , ESP sports channel , • USA which is . sports , old movies
and 'womens and .childrens programs . . They are also putting on a channel which
is called Nickelodeon , performing_ -arts , entertainment - and music television .
They are also going to expand pay services - HBO , Cinemax and Disney programs .
Eventually all of • the converters will be replaced with addressable - converters .
This will . allow people. to call in and they can change what they are getting
from us to _something different over the .telephone . . . • .
Atty Perkins ' - wanted to know when these -improvements were going to. ' be - made ?
Mr Sheridan - they are in the process now . The online-billing should be ready

. + . . , Honorable Clinton Cotterill -
Supervisor
. . . Town of Dryden .
• 65 East Main Street
Dryden , New York ; , 13053 .
• Dear Clint : . ,
• • I am enclosing . .an amendment to the Joint Sewer Agreement that is
necessary to implement the provisions ' of the pretreatment program
we approved locally a year ago .
' In January we received a number of technical and administrative
. comments which includes the requirement that the Joint Agreement be
amended to include our commitment to implement . and enforce the
program. Overall we came out with very high marks including the
. implication that our Intermunicipal Sewer Use Ordinance was
acceptable .
• The changes to the Joint Agreement focus on three aspects of the
pretreatment program : ( 1 ) The capital cost ( about $ 19 , 000 which
is probably not aidable ) and operating costs ( about the same
annually ) . These will be shared by all the owners in the same
. proportion as the major project , i . e . , Dryden ' s share will be 1 % .
. ( 2 ) All three owners will be named as permittees on the SPDES
permit allowing us to discharge to Cayuga Lake . As such , we all
. will share in the liability if pollution of the lake were to occur
through faulty operation of the plant or the pretreatment program.
As you know , this shared liability is already built into the
agreement . ( 3 ) The enforcement procedure was not spelled out in
the original agreement since the program had not been developed
yet .: You will see the substance of our commitment under Section 13
Special Joint Subcommittee duty # 9 . This explains how the program
would be administered and enforced . It comes as the result of
extensive discussions and the approach that we try to resolve as
. - many industrial. discharge problems as possible at the grass roots
level . The Plant Superintendent will see the problem first and
ought to have direct access to the pertinent municipal engineer and
industrial discharge point in the system . Thei SJS would then
provide oversight of the effectiveness of our program with ultimate
responsibility resting with each municipality, tan the Town of
Dryden case , even though no industry is involved it may be
desireable to designate the Ithaca Town Engineer as your contact
person should a problem occur . This would be something for you co
consider when we consider official adoption of the Intermunicipal
Sewer Use Law in May or June of this year .
The proposed changes have been approved by the SJS , City Board of
Public Works , B&A Committee of Common Council , so far . I have the
matter on the Ithaca Town Board agenda for April 9 and City Common
Council is scheduled to deliberate on it on April 11 . I am hoping
you will consider and adopt it on April 10 . If necessary I can
•
attend the meeting to explain it in more detail or you can give me
a call if you have questions . Mahlon Perkins . has had same
discussions with Jim Buyoucos on the matter .
I have underlined the changes to save . some time in comparing old
with new . . We have refrained from the t6ptation of making
non-pretreatment' changes at this time , although perhaps an overall
rewriting could be justified to clean up some of the phraseology
but that can be done` when we deal with rate schedules in a year or
so . .

Supv Cotterill - has received applications from the County regarding, flood
prevention project . _ _ . .
Hwy Supt Humphrey - one is on Springhouse Rd and the other is located in
Brooktondale nean-Rt 330 . The program is 50/50 where the county pays 50% and
the town pays 50 % . Instead of the town paying ':the , 50 'percent Mr Erick Smith
is willing to pay that amount since It is located on his property and will help
the flooding situations . . .
Brockton Hollow Farm
Brooktondale , NY 14817
April 3 , 1984
Dryden Town Board
Dryden , New York •
To Whom It May Concern : .
I would like to request that the Town of Dryden act as agent
for me to apply to Tompkins County for ' cost - sharing to perform
work in Six Mile Creek as described below . I agree to assume
responsibility for having the project completed including
aa, auming all liability and expenses which are not covered by the
county .
- ' The work will be done in the creek approximately 1 / 2 mile SE
of German Cross Road and 1 / 4 mile NW of Banks Road . Because of
the flooding that has taken place in the last few years , the
creek channel has moved and is severely undercutting and eroding
the bank in my field which is Class 1 farmland . Also it is
undercutting a small woodlot which is already dropping small
trees and debris into the creek , as the soil is washed away from
roots . The potential for further damage is great since the
current , channel runs along the edge of my field to the woodlot ,
then is forced to make a sharp turn ( approx . 90 degrees ) at the
• _ woodlot , Thus in periods of high water , the full force of the
stream is . working ' directly on the woodlot .
The proposed work would rechannelize the stream to its
previous channel involving about 500 ft of renewed channel . Also ,
about 50 to - 75 feet of rip rap would be required at the point the
creek is redirected into its old - channel . - - The estimated coat is
approximately 02500 for the channelization and about S50 / ft for
rip rap or $ 2500 to $ 3750 , bringing the total to the range of
$ 5000 to $5250 . I believe - these estimates to be on the conserva -
tive side . A contractor has actually estimated the channelization
work at " $ 2000 , $ 2500 tops . " Eatimatea for rip rap which I have
heard are. in the range of $ 40 to $50 / ft . Thus , in the end , I
would expect the whole project to be in the mange of 05000 .
Larry Gumeer from the NY -Dept . of Environmental Conservation
has been at the site . He made the actual suggestions for the work
to be done and said that NYDEC would definitely approve the
project , . provided it was done as he specified ( rip rap of at least
5a., ft. . required ) . Greg Tesaman . from Tompkins County Soil
Conservation Service has also been at the site . Larry Gurneer said
that SCS would be the agency to actually provide the construction /
specifications .
Toy, - Smith from Tompkina County Trust Company has agreed to
provide a performance bond for me for the ' amount ' of $2500 ,
provided - I leave that amount deposited in the bank . I currently
have r certificate of deposit at that bank which expires May 1 ,
1984 . On that date , I will renew it in the amount of 02500 to
expire no earlier than September 1 , 1984 , and assign it to the
bank , thus guaranteeing that the . bank will have the collateral
needed to provide the bond . .
Sincerely ,

is the record owner or title holder• : - --
Al Morse - ' would like to see this problem straightened out . ' He lives next door
and he cannot seem to get clear title to ' the property . If he could get the deed
and title straightened out he is willing to 'pay the taxes ' and clear • up the
property .
Co Rep Watros .- since the County now owns - it , it will be easily settled at a

a notation was made on the deed to the/ County , that the purchaser from the • County

enforcement of the Uniform • Fire Prevention • and Building Code . It did_ so , and thereby
passed the responsibility to the County . The County also opted out and passed the
enforcement to the • State . The proposal now before, the ,Town Board is to repeal • the
Local Law that the Town adopted in June 1983 , thereby opting back in . The Town
will then assume • the responsibility -of -enforcing the code : '
Mr Kalitan - hoped the town would opt back in so that the local government would ,
have more control over it , instead of the State .
Doug Sutton - from the homebuilders point_ of view , he would like to see the town
take back the responsibility .
There was some discussion
Supv Cotterill wanted to know if the town appoints an inspector , who is responsible
for the liability ? _
Atty Perkins - a contract with- a third party , the indepentent contractor , would contain
a clause that the town would be named -insurer under a policy - of liability insurance
and the carrier would require them to carry such a policy . . Otherwise_,• the, person
would have to be an architect or qualified engineer . If the town appoints their own
inspector as an employee , then it would be our liability rather than if we contract
with someone . The reason that the Town initially opted out of enforcing the code
was that there weren ' t any regulations issued by the Secretary of Sty at the end
of Dec and the law was to go into . effect Jan . 1st .
