COUNTY BRIEFING
Co. Rep Evans - they are
see where they can make
Ji.ru Mason and he went ov
still trying t� � work on the budget to
cuts. Regarding the DR7 George Schlecht,
er the peer review wetlands survey.
CITIZEN PRIVILEGE OF THE FLOOR
Tom Hatfield, representing the Dryden Youth Commission - nave
board members copies of the operating guidelines for Dryden Youth
Corlimission. They have been meeting twice a week and have adopted
a resolution asking the 2 villages and the town to review this
and take the necessary action, since there is a state budget
crisis in state funding in both the county and local levels. It
appears that there have been inequitable cuts in the youth area
and as a result they have adopted a resolution and wol.tld .like the
board to forward that on to the governor and the appropriate
elected officials. They would also like the town board to adopt a
similar rescolut i� Win.
Mary Ellen Bossack, Town of Dryden representative for the County
Youth Hoard � gave the board members copies of the youth board
services. They use the Community Dispute Resolution Center and
there is a proposed pri :gram for homeless teens which is a growing
problem even in the Dryden area. There is a $40,000 grant
underway in the co_,unty for this. They have had a number of
students participate in the suicide prevention and sexual abuse
programs. Their highest participation is in the Learning Web and
this is funded by 20 percent DFY funds. Most of the grants for
these services are matching funds. Another program that is a
major issue for there is the youth bureau services that are county
wide. It is important that we take a stand in defense for these
children.

Meg Plumeau - presented a petition to the town board with over
1('.)C) s i gnat Ures requesting a Red Cross swimming program as part of
the Dryden Summer Ycnuth Program. If this is feasible some of the
people who signed the petition would be willing to even pay a
small fee. She spoke with the Red Cross people and they will be
willing to work with the Timnwn of Dryden if they want to set up a
Red Cross program. They will alsi_i be willing to help set up a
baby - sitting course or first aid course.
Sijpv Schug - would like Meg to meet with the Dryden Youth
Commission, to see if something can be worked out through that
commission.
Bard Prentiss - presented the Town of Dryden a book "Unique
Natural Areas of Tompkins County" and gave a brief report (copy
in minute book). This book was intended as a planning document.
The study contains data on environmentally sensitive areas
throughout the Cr_urity. It was funded, researched and developed
primarily for use as a specialized land use planning tool. Its
initial issuance will be limited to the various municipalities
and governmental agencies in Tompkins County. The 180 individual
sites are considered outstanding examples of their type. It is
our intent that their identification, herein, will serve as an
important step towards their protection. Each site p_14'Osesses
characteristics that define it as environmentally sensitive.
These include rare cir scarce flora or fauna, unusual habitat or
community types, exceptional aesthetic qUal it ies and unique
geology. Much of the data was gathered with the consent of

Erica Evans, Turkey Hill Rd. -

she understands that they have to
ing regarding the Turkey water and
f the engineers who worked on the
any other planning. Did you use
ict before and were they the same
district?
Supv Schug - yes, we have used thern for other water districts in
the town and was not sure about L_arising.
Erica Evans - how could they propose such a thing that obviously
was so expensive. lot seemed very expensive to them but they
thought that this would work. How can we as a town pay them to do
such a thing and submit it to have it come back cis too expensive.

• Supv Schug - things have changed dramatically with the Hall Road
water district which came 6 to 8 months after the initial
program. They will save some dollars as the water tank will not
be in the district and will be able to be served with enough
pressure. When the proposal was made to the State it was prier to
the assessment to the property. The numbers were high based on
the old assessments and based on the job that had to_ be done. The
State was looking at figures and using the guideline that was set
for the cost to the homeowner 15 1r 20 years ago when there was
state and federal grants.
Erica Evans - we were offered help by Martin Luster and Jim
Seward who might have been able to tell us right up front this
was r i d i. cU 1 us and we could have saved time and money. It seems
like we have spent a lot of time and money for something that we
should have known that was not going to work. Why, when we were
planning for the Army orry, Wilcox Press arid everyone else wh y
didn't we see far enough to_ riiake it feasible for all of them to
share in that expense rather than doing it all over again.
Atty Perkins - when the Monkey Rijn water and sewer district was
formed arid approved was because they did cut out all of the
residential users. It was the only way that it could be
constructed without any residential users. This basically set Up
the structure for the use by residential districts to be built
• off from that. This is where we are right now in trying to::, design
and to have service 'to residential areas which would not have to
pay the full shot of the initial major transmission line which
runs from Varna to behind the Boxcar where it picks Up one user.
The initial cr)st was spread out over the commercial users who are
just starting to make a dent in the principle costa The cost to
the homeowners instead of sharing in that cast will be less
expensive to pay a service fee annually t, use tho::ise mains to
transport wastewater or to get water out to areas that can be
served locally. There was a conscience effort to do it this way.
Homeowners were originally excluded from a much larger district
because homeowners coUldn't afford it then. It is cheaper for
homeowners now even at the levels that we are pri-Jposing than it
was when they were included in the initial district.
Atty Perkins •- he has now received a draft on the revised
engineering report. There are some areas in the report that needs
work from town personnel, such as analyzing what the projected
cost per user is going to be. We are in hopes that this
information can be forwarded in draft form to board members
before April is•t to be reviewed by them and made available for
public comment. The cost for the water has come down
significantly. They were looking at an annual cost without any
reduction of $79, 000. oo and is now down to about $58,000.00, The
water portion looks much more feasible now. The board will go
through with the reports and do whatever it can.

even though they have had some friction they have done things
together that are commendable. He had attended the conference of
Mayors in Albany and the State was talking abC4Lkt this wonderful
thing about consolidating municipal services. The Town and
Village of Dryden has dune this for years. In many areas of the
State they don't d., that or work well together. We should be
