HomeMy WebLinkAbout1996-05-14TOWN BOARD MEETING MAY 14, 1996 Supv Schug called the meeting to order at 7:30PM Members and guests participated in a moment of silent meditation followed by the Pledge of Allegiance Roll call was by Town Clerk Lloyd Present: Supv Schug, Clp Grantham, Clp T. Hatfield, Clp C. Hatfield, Clp Roberts, Atty Perkins and Z.O. Slater COUNTY BRIEFING Co. Rep. Lane - reported that the county budget is looking good because DSS has had some savings. They think they will have a 3.5 million dollar surplus in addition to the other surplus from insurance etc. There will be different ways as to how this will be used. They are considering one time funding, but are concerned about what the State might do with block grants. They are also looking at the tax rate and maybe reduce that. Co. Rep. Lane - with respect to the solid waste fee. The County went to Senator Seward and Assemblyman Luster to ask for special legislation to allow the county to put the solid waste fee on the town and county tax bill as if it were a tax. It would show up as a separate line item on the bill with no additional work for the town clerks. This should benefit the town since you would reach your warrant faster. This would also save the county about 50 thousand dollars in administrative cost, bill printing and postage. The original legislation was set up for Tompkins County, but it was so well received in Albany that Senator Seward and Assemblyman Luster amended the bill to make it State wide because other areas were interested in doing this as well. They have had a couple of resolutions from Lansing and Enfield in opposition to this and I feel it is from a misunderstanding about this still creating a burden on the town clerks. We have tried to make it clear this is not the case. Supv Schug - if it is a fee you don't have to pay the fee if you oppose it. We would get our warrants as we do now and late payments. Would that fee apply to next years taxes if it was not paid. Co. Rep. Lane - with this legislation the taxpayer would not have the same option as they have now with not paying the fee. It would be collected as if it were a tax so the whole amount would have to be collected. Supv Schug - questioned Co. Rep. Lane as to why a copy of this legislation was not sent out to the towns prior to` reading about it in the newspapers. • I vs" TB5 -14 -96 Page 2 • Co. Rep. Lane - could not answer that. I know that Tom Todd is chairman of that committee and sent a letter out to all of the clerks to clarify this question and this issue had come up. It came out of his town as a matter of fact. It probably should have and if it wasn't as a member of the county board I apologize to you for that. Supv Schug - I think that is what happened to Lansing and Enfield. The first thing is to oppose something like that before reading the fine print. Co. Rep. Lane - on the other hand, if we were wrong to do that I think Lansing could have picked up the phone in the mean time and asked Tom Todd about this. There probably was miscommunication both ways. Co. Rep. Lane - the county is working out a deal with DOT regarding a couple of bridges in Ulysses and Enfield to be replaced with federal funds. 1.1 million dollars were budgeted for these 2 bridges which are box culverts. The county questioned how this could cost so much. We are making a proposal to them to let the county design them, work with them and come up with a design from our consultants. If we can have a savings we will be able to apply that extra money to some other bridge project. Bill Mobbs thinks we have a good opportunity to spread that federal money to more projects. Supv Schug - suggested to Bill Mobbs that they work a little closer with the towns on all of the bridges. Co. Rep. Evans partnership to the town, one landowner. The revolving loan - the county is still looking at a proposed work in the streams. It would be one third third paid by the county and one third paid county would like to set up a $100,000.00 fund to provide funds for the landowner to paid by by the be able to do the work in the streams. If something like this is not done the streams are just going to get worse. Co. Rep. Evans - reported on the remote arraignment of prisoners. This is being held up at the State level because of a court case brought by the trial lawyers in Broome County. They are arguing that under the Constitution it requires that a lawyer be in attendance with his client in any court hearing or at least the client has that right. Supv Schug - wanted to know how county board felt about petitions against moving the DSS building downtown. 0' 0 i 40 TB5-14 -96 Page 3 not to do any Co. Rep. Evans - was not sure. I doubt if a petition itself will have much affect on the county board approach. in the city Co. Rep. Lane - as far as I am concerned the county board voted not to do any more renovation of Biggs A building. There was some discussion as to where the building would be built either on the campus where the hospital is, in the city or some where else. I was opposed to build the building on the campus of the hospital. I was open to other locations or the city. I voted for the city because I think it makes some sense to have it centrally located. My feeling is we should proceed since we have made the decision. Co. Rep. Evans - I also voted to have the building in the city. It is more costly to do that, but I think it will make more sense. There is an advantage to have it in the City of Ithaca itself. I think it would have cost less to put it at the Biggs site. I completely believe that Biggs A building had to be replaced one way or the other. The studies showed the cost of operating that building vs a new building are such that you have less than a 20 year break even flow. This is an important point. That building was never designed to be a hospital or an office building. It was designed to be a nursing home which is something totally different. It was built in the 1930's, stone structure and has no internal steel. The heating and ventilation system are i antiquated. Clp Roberts - wanted to know the status of the 911 telephone system. Co. Rep. Evans - there is an argument with NYNEX who does not want to download county wants to their information and maintain their own data only want base and to to rent it. The tie it into the GIS system as considerably less every way they can well. than and The cost to the county would be doing it with NYNEX. NYNEX is resisting now arguing they can not legally release unlisted numbers to put in the county data base. The easy solution for that would be for them to send a release form to everyone having an unlisted number to sign if they are willing release the number for this purpose only. I would suspect the majority would do that for the protection it would render to their homes. meantime In the we don't end have I think the NYNEX will 911 system. lose, but in the in to Co. Rep. Lane - all of the smaller telephone companies have cooperated fully. Clp Roberts - wanted to know where all of the fees were going since the county has been collecting them and there is no service yet. /0% TB5 -14 -96 Page 4 Co. Rep. Evans - I was going to ask David Squires that since that question has been brought up before and I have not gotten the answer yet. I believe that money does go to the county to be used for the 911 system and is restricted for that use. I believe the computers have been purchased with that money. Clp T. Hatfield - the town has been doing some bidding in the last week or two and Don came across a situation where the town bid doesn't seem to be in conjunction with the specs. j Hwy Supt Gilbert - specs that are put out calls for washed stone. #1 stone is washed but not #2 stone. I Co. Rep. Lane - if you send me a letter I will follow up on it. Clp T. Hatfield - this needs to be done. It makes you wonder how the bid specs were accepted if they don't meet the criteria. CITIZEN PRIVILEGE OF THE FLOOR Steve Kirsh - the commission is doing well with full membership. The new contract with Cooperative Extension seems to be going well and they are very pleased with new ideas and activities. They are looking at the accounts right now and there seems to be more youth involved in a greater variety of activities. We as a body try to make recommendations for the programing that also • extends to the 2 villages. When we started dispensing funds and looking at programs it was nice. The first year we had many more requests than we had dollars to make some decisions. We tabled some decisions until later in the year when we could get additional information. The village budgets are at a different time than the town budget and with the 2 primary programs, the recreation program in Freeville and in Dryden Police and Community which used to be Officer Friendly. Funds are designated and recommended there, but in April we found out when Dryden Village sat down to look at their Police and Community which they asked for $1,000.00 less I wondered how they did that because I knew they were strapped for funds. In April they had found funds from the Youth Service of about $2,300.00 to make it right to make a correction. At the same time Freeville put some additional funds in. So direct funds in the area town taxes along with state and county matches are used in the town. Any surplus tax dollars that they don't specify to their own youth programs do get pushed over to be used townwide and the youth commission looks at those. In April after looking at this we did put in a recommendation for funding for an additional half time program which would be through Cooperative Extension. When the commission recommended for the $10,636.00 it was my understanding that half of that would be coming from the town and half would still be a county match because it changes within the village with their appropriations. It ends up as you pointed out almost a 3/4 town tax as to 1/4 county because the county funds have been expended being that both Freeville and Dryden villages have used more money within their programs so the match is going to the villages. north east appraisals & MANAGEMENT CO. INC. May 13, 1996 Charles Guttman, Esq. Attorney at Law The Clinton House, Suite 201 Ithaca, NY 14850 RE: Douglas Foster Property 31 Monkey Run Road Town of Dryden Tompkins County, New York Tax Map Parcel #53 -1 -17 Dear Mr. Guttman: I am writing in response to your letter of April 10, 1996 regarding • the valuation of various interests in the easement encumbering the above referenced property. The easement granted to the Town of Dryden in 1982 provides for the installation of. water and sewer lines and encumbers more than 50% of the subject building site. The boundary of this easement actually bisects the residential improvement on the property. That portion of the easement that is proposed to be re- leased by the Town of Dryden is outlined in red on the attached map. As specified in your letter, I will attempt to address the value of the interest of the Town of Dryden in this area to be released, the increased value to the Foster property resulting from the release of this portion of the easement, and the value.of this easement to a third party. Fundamental to the valuation of partial interests is the understanding of the rights conveyed under the terms of the easement. The language of the easement specifically conveys the following... "The right to construct, alter, install, replace, repair and maintain sewer lines and water lines and necessary laterals thereto across the property more particularly described in a deed to the party of the first part from Robert C. Halderman, Trustee of the property of Lehigh Valley Railroad Company dated April 12, 1982 and recorded in the Tompkins County Clerk's Office on April 19, 1982 in Liber 588 of Deeds at Page 546, together with the free right of ingress and egress over and across such property, insofar as such rights of ingress and egress is necessary�to the proper use of any other right granted herein and • together ith the right to install such other lines, pipes or mechanic 1, electrical or electronic transmission vehicles as may be necessa y, proper and appropriate for town purposes." 3 Br r.i�, n I scr; n i, Sr riLr 100. lffi� ca, NY 14050 1 .I . su i Page 2 • Charles May 13, Guttman, Esq. 1996 The owner of the underlying fee retains the rights to utilize the property encumbered by this easement as long as it does not interfere with the rights to install and maintain the water and sewer lines which is the only purpose and use granted to the town by the permanent easement. The language of this easement does not expressly prohibit the construction of or removal of building improvements within the easement area. In fact, the Town of Dryden granted a variance for the construction of the residence located on the subject property in 1983 within the easement area. Although subject to legal interpretation, it seems apparent that structures and other improvements owned by the owner of the fee could be located within the easement area, assuming that such structures and improvements did not interfere with the rights granted to the Town of Dryden for the installation and mainte- nance of water and sewer lines. With this understanding of the rights to use and occupy the easement area by both the Town of Dryden and the fee owner, the value of various interests can be estimated. Value to the Town of Dryden The proposed area to be released by the Town of Dryden includes an irregular shaped parcel of land partially occupied by the existing • residence. This area is approximately 40 feet northerly of the water line installed on the subject property. This area was not utilized for the installation of the water or sewer lines and is not necessary to gain access to the easement area. It is my understanding that it has been determined by the town engineer that this portion of the easement area is not necessary for the continued maintenance of the water or sewer lines. The fee owner of the property retains the rights to utilize the .easement area with the exception of the 'stated purpose of the easement for the Town of Dryden. Considering the fact that the town only has a limited partial interest in this easement area and it has-been determined that it is not necessary for that purpose, it is my opinion that the value of the rights conveyed by the permanent easement to the Town of Dryden have a nominal value of not more than $100. P_P� north east appraisals 6 MANAGEMENT CO WC north east appraisals 6 MANAGEMENT CO WC n LJ • Page 3 Charles May 13, Guttman, Esq. 1996 Value of the Released Easement Area to the Fee Owner The fee owner of the property is not expressly prohibited from making improvements within the easement area and continues to have rights to utilize the easement area. It is not clear that the fee owner will benefit from the release of the easement area with the exception that it would clarify and eliminate any potential concern that the rights conveyed by the easement to the Town of Dryden could be legally interpreted in a manner that would require the removal of the existing residence from within the easement area. Regardless of the legal interpretation of the rights conveyed to the town, the fact that the residence is partially within the easement area raises concerns and questions over the marketability of the property and the potential for obtaining financing. The position that the residence would have to be removed from the easement area is clearly not supported by the lan- guage of the easement and the fact that the Town of Dryden granted a variance in 1983 after they had already obtained the easement which allowed for the construction of the residence within the easement area. If the residence had to be removed from the easement area, it would have little, if any value. The cost to move the residence and establish it on a new foundation if it is possible within the confines of the existing building site, could be as much as the value of the residence. The only reasonable interpretation of the circumstances surrounding this issue is to conclude that the existing residence is permitted within the easement area and that the release of a portion of the easement as proposed merely clarifies the ownership and use of the property. In this respect, the release of the easement area does not significantly add to the value of the property but eliminates the potential for future concerns on the marketability of the property. Value to a Third Party The easement rights held by the Town of Dryden for that portion of the property that is proposed to be released has no marketability, use or value to a potential third party. The Town of Dryden only has the rights to install and maintain the water and sewer lines within the permanent easement area. There is no possible utilization of this area by a third party, therefore it has no value to a third party. 0 north east appraisals 6 MANAGEMENT rO INU Page 4 Charles Guttman, Esq. • May 13, 1996 i I hope my comments are useful in resolving this issue.

I 1 I i I I TB5 -14 -96 Page 5 • Steve Kirsh - Based as to what the commission understands was our total budget for the year and the commission not saying this is county money, this is state money, this is town money, this is village money because it gets to complicated for us to deal with. We would still like the recommendation to stay within the existing funds. It does mean that it would be a disproportionate match and that is because the county funds have been expended. If you look at the money in youth services whether that is a designated sum or if it is looked at as additional programing. • • Supv Schug - when the youth commission first got started the villages said fine we don't have the time, we can't handle it we will give you our money and you can take the youth at risk program. Yes, if one board approves of doing that the next year the next board can change their mind and take the money back. It is up to this board as whether or not to go along with the project. I would suggest to have the 2 representatives from each of the villages and tell them this was set up 4 or 5 years ago. If you don't want to do it let us know and then we will know what we are working with. If they want their funds there is nothing we can do about it except they didn't live up to their end•of the bargain. Doug Foster - I am asking the board for a portion of an easement. The question was what is the value of it since the easement goes through the middle of the house. It was agreed that I would get an appraisal (copy to board members) and a letter was written to my attorney which gives his opinion as to what the value is. In terms of the easement it just lets the town install and maintain a water and sewer line. The value of the easement to the town is a nominal value of not more than $100.00. Hopefully this is enough information for the town board to make a decision on what the reimbursement should be. Supv Schug - the board members would have liked to have received this information earlier so they would have a chance to review it. The board members did not take any action until they had a chance to review the information they just received. COUNCILMAN PRIVILEGE OF THE FLOOR Clp Roberts - summer swim program - over the last 4 or 5 years we have worked with the Red Cross and the high school to establish a summer swim program instruction at the high school. At this point the Red Cross would like to go with the high school directly so the town would no longer be involved with that, but they plan to continue the program. oV s i n • OFFICE OF THE SUPERVISOR May 8, 1996 Mahlon Perkins P.O.

The problem arose when the tax bill was sent to the former owner at his new address. As a. result we never received the tax bill. (He must have discarded the bill) It was our understanding that tax bills would be sent in July. We now understand that this is only for school taxes. we learned in April. from a bank that we should have received our tax bill in December /January. for government We immediately contacted the Town of Dryden and the Tompkins send County budget /finance office.

Hatfield offered the following resolution and asked for its adoption: RESOLVED, that this Town Board upon the recommendation of Charles Hanley, chairman of the ZBOA authorize payment of the Randall Marcus voucher regarding the Schlecht ZBOA hearing. 2nd Clp Grantham Roll call vote - all voting Yes Supv Schug - a request was made regarding a tax penalty to be returned since they never received the bill until it was in the penalty period. Atty Perkins - with respect to this and in any similar application is that nothing was done wrong. When property changes hands the only way the taxing authority people who prepare the bills in the county know about that is when a deed is recorded and a form called the equalization assessment form for real property transfer report is filed along with deed. March 1st is the critical date because that is what is called the taxable status date for towns. The assessors by charter which is a county function are required to assess property as the taxable status date which is March 1st. They will send a bill to whoever the record owner is as of March 1st. Any transfer which occurs after March 1st will not be reflected for at least a year. This is State law. The town clerk has not done anything wrong. It is up to the property owner and has been a law in the State of New York forever that it is the property owners responsibility to make sure they receive their tax bill. Clearly when they had a closing they had an adjustment of taxes and someone should have explained to them the procedure that on January 1st you should be expecting a tax bill and if they don't receive the bill either call the previous owner or the town clerk for a duplicate tax bill. This happens all the time. It is not the town clerk's responsibility to monitor the U.S. mail. Clp Roberts - wanted to know the reason for the March 1st cut off date. Why can't the addresses be changed throughout the year as deeds are recorded. Atty Perkins - it is State law because they have so many parcels county wide they use that as an arbitrary cut off date because they have so many other things to do at the assessment department. • Clp T. Hatfield - usually the attorney that is at the closing will advise the client when taxes are due and if they do not receive them call the town clerk. Jib TB5 -14 -96 Page 7 • Atty Perkins - when the deed is returned by the county clerk there is a notice attached with this information. On the other side of the coin the party might not have paid the bill on time and paid the penalty they have had the use of those funds all that time. Clp Roberts - it just seems there should be a way to be a little more user friendly in this age of customer service of keeping the records more up to date. We are in a computerized age, it is not like everything is kept by hand. The information is there for Atty Perkins - you should write to your elected representatives in Albany. I tell all my clients to call either the previous owner or the town clerk for another bill and we give them a notice to that affect together with the notice they receive on their deed. The information is there for those who want it. Supv Schug - they paid the penalty and would like to get it back, so this up to the board members. It was decided to have Supv Schug write a letter denying the refund of the tax penalty. Atty Perkins - received the application for the fireworks display by Robert Fletcher and everything is in order. •SPCA - dog contract agreement for dog enumeration. Clp Roberts - wondered why there was no deadline for completing the enumeration. Pam Stonebreaker - when the agreement was written up they did not have any idea since they just started last year. Now they have a working computer program so they are assuming they will be able to complete it in a timely manner, but they didn't want to be locked in to a specific date. They would like a reasonable amount of time. They are hiring a team of people to come in and complete the actual accounting during a 2 week period. The rest would be the follow up work. They could put a deadline on there, but they would like a reasonable time. Clp Roberts - wanted to know if they could put a 3 month time limit on the enumeration. Pam Stonebreaker - saw no problem with that. Supv Schug - if the board is in favor of the agreement for dog enumeration with the SPCA we will need a resolution with the changes effective July 1st 1996 and work will be completed October 1, 19964 u • RESOLUTION NO. 133 (1996) Councilperson Grantham offered the following resolution and asked for its adoption.

It is our understanding you were notified that Tompkins County generates all tax bills for the parcels and the closing date for changes is March. As you purchased your property in October 1995 the tax bill going out in January 1996 was mailed to the owner of record as of March 1995 which was Joseph M and Abby H Eller. It was the responsibility of your attorney to notify you to look for a town and county tax bill in January. We receive several requests each year concerning not having received a tax bill and are asked to grant relief. If we were to grant you relief this would set an extremely disruptive precedent; therefore your request for a refund is denied. Sincerely, Ja es F.

TB5 -14 -96 Page 10 Hwy Supt Gilbert — type 4 crushed stone - Lewbro bid by the yard "10 $4.95 a yard for a total of $2.91 a ton. RMS Gravel was $4.00 a ton, which is the same bid RMS Gravel has with the county. I would recommend the board to go with Lewbro unless you are talking mileage. There was some discussion regarding the mileage and time involved. Kim Whetzel - I was not a bidder on this particular product, but in the specification the town said that the minimum quantity of material must be available for pick up by a certain date. The pit must be equipped with a scale and loader on site. The proposal that you are considering doesn't affect me, but it will affect the competitiveness of your bids if you don't hold the bidders to the specifications, ie making an investment of $70,000.00 to have the scale. If the material is sold by the yard, a yard is not always a yard. A ton is always a ton. Someone may buy 12 yards of material and there can be a significant difference in the volume. I would ask if the Town of Dryden is going to enjoy the competitiveness of bidding these products which I welcome and in the years coming will save the town a lot of money. If you issue a specification you must stick to that specification. If you were considering to buy the material by the yard, then it should have been put in the specs that it could be a possibility. The distance is a consideration and must be taken into account, but there are products that we in the Town of Dryden buy 50 plus miles away. Those products are available in other locations as well. I don't think we are looking at the mileage as critically as when we want to buy from those suppliers as we do from those other vendors. I would ask the Town of Dryden if you issue a specification then at least adhere to that specification. I think if you stick strictly to the distance then that limits you to one supplier and if you look historically at the last 2 bid openings that I have participated in for the Town of Dryden, the fact that you have opened this up to other people has driven the price down significantly. In the next case you will be considering at 80 cents a ton. The difference in the price on the next item that you will be considering which our company bid on is about a $4,000.00 savings to the town on about $6,000.00 worth of material. If you issue a bid spec, as a supplier I would like to see you adhere to the bid spec. Clp T. Hatfield - Lewbro has a scale, but is not on site it is 3 miles away. Agreed with everything Kim has said.
