Hollenbeck, Town Clerk Jack Bush, Highway Superintendent Other Town Staff: Mahlon R. Perkins, Town Attorney Daniel Kwasnowski, Environmental Planner Henry Slater, Zoning Officer Jennifer Dube, Recreation Coordinator David Putnam, TG Miller Engineers Supv Trumbull opened the meeting at 7:04 p.m. and led board members and audience in the pledge of allegiance. CITIZENS PRIVILEGE None. HIGHWAY DEPT Jack Bush said he had received a proposed agreement to continue with the Tompkins County Consortium for drug testing and recommended that we do so. Atty Perkins will review the document. J Bush said he has received correspondence from a resident who is concerned about snowmobiles on the Dryden Lake Trail and who suggests that gates be installed to prevent snowmobiles from accessing the trail. He said in the past nothing has been done to restrict motorized vehicles though there is signage that states motorized vehicles are not allowed. He said he doesn't believe it: is a huge problem, though from time to time a four - wheeler, motorcycle or snowmobile is known to have been on the trail. It would be difficult to enforce without constant patrol, and gates at the ends would not restrict someone from access via . private property. ZO Slater said it is typically snowmobilers who are lost that end up on the trail, He has received some complaints over the years about snowmobilers, all of them from the same person. Organized snowmobile groups know they are not allowed on the trail, Atty Perkins suggested contacting the Tompkins County Sheriff and asking them to patrol the area. Cl Sumner said she believes the rule should be enforced and suggested that all complaints be directed to one person who knows how to handle them. COUNTY BRIEFING M Flattery said the Town of Dryden has two areas designated as part of the Empire Zone- -the area north of the Village of Dryden and on Route 13. A map is available on the TCAD website. A training session will be held on what kinds of benefits can be delivered within the zone and he suggested the Town send sonic personnel to that meeting. It will be held December 6 at Seneca Place. Pane I of 12 c TB 11-15-06 Martha Robertson said a public meeting was held November 1 on the Route 1.3/366 • Corridor Study. They are hoping to have a report from that meeting soon. A meeting was held last week with the community centers and Cl Stelick regarding funding for the community centers. On Monday there was a meeting on the reconstruction of Ellis Hollow Road and M Robertson said that went very well. There will be another public meeting in December to present: the changes to the plan. The Tompkins County Legislature will be voting on the county budget next week. ENGINEERING Dave Putnam reported that from the responses received from affected owners, it appears the Pinckney Road Water and Sewer Districts are not viable. Atty Perkins suggested the Supervisor write to the property owners and let them know that because of the lack of support for water and sewer at this time the board will take no further action. TG Miller presented a contract for the Supervisor's signature that incorporates TO Miller's surveying services for the new town hall. There will need to be an easement created and as -built maps prepared before the infrastructure can be dedicated to the Village. RESOLUTION #164 - AUTHORIZE TG MILLER CONTRACT Cl Stelick offered the following resolution and asked for its adoption: RESOLVED, that this Town Board hereby approves the contract amendment with TG Miller Engineers & Surveyors as described in correspondence from Andrew Sciarabba dated October 25, 2006, and the Town Supervisor is authorized to execute the same. 2nd Cl Tier Roll Call Vote Cl Tier Yes Supv Trumbull Yes Cl Stelick Yes Cl Sumner Yes D Putnam reported the Town crew is doing an excellent job installing the sewer line for the new town hall and replacing the storm sewer. They will go another ten or twenty feet, then stop for the winter. Rich Jankowski of Egner Associates spoke to the board about the change orders to date for the new town hall project. CRP #02 is for roadway changes at the entryway at a cost of $3,878.70; CRP #03 is a change in the configuration of the sanitary sewer piping at a cost of $4,087; CRP #04 is to increase the depth of the stone surrounding the piping in the bio retention filter at a cost of $1,979; CRP #E -1. is a change to install schedule 40 PVC conduit from Server Room to 15' beyond west property line (parallel sanitary line) at a cost of $1,900 for the conduit alone (excavation quote not received); CRP #HV -1 is a change to install stabilization pad for the geo- thermal well drillers at a cost of $4,000. CRP #HV -1 is the result of the drilling rig getting stuck several times on the site. They installed a layer of stone on top of a fabric stabilizer to allow the rig to function without getting • stuck. That will be removed and replaced with the wetland material. R Jankowski said the board could accept this charge, consider a portion of it, or deny it. The board decided not to approve this change order at this time. Page 2 of 12 Tm 11 -I5 -06 They have had to reconfigure the electrical panels because of changes in the sprinkling system and are considering an alternate space for some of the panels. They will try and keep as many as possible in the equipment room. The telephone panel will be relocated near the holding area. Wall changes for the court and zoning areas have been submitted to the contractor and they are not ready with numbers for those changes. Cl Stelick asked that John Holmes be present in the future when change orders are presented. After discussion, the board passed the following resolution. RESOLUTION #165 - APPROVE CHANGE ORDERS FOR TOWN HALL PROJECT Cl Stelick offered the following resolution and asked for its adoption; RESOLVED, that this Town Board hereby approves the following change orders in the amounts indicated for the town hall project. CRP #02 - reconfiguration of storm drainage at driveway entrance CRP 903 - reconfiguration of sanitary sewer piping CRP #04 - change depth of stone in bio retention filter CRP #E -I - install schedule 40 PVC conduit from server room 15' (plus excavation costs not to exceed $2,000) 2nd Supv Trumbull Roll Call Vote Cl Tier Yes Supv Trumbull Yes Cl Stelick Yes Cl Sumner Yes RECREATION DEPARTMENT $3,879.00 $4,087.00 $1,979.00 $.1,900.00 J Dube informed the board that she will be hiring Amanda O'Dell to take the place of Dustin I•lort:on who has returned to college. This is within her budget. In her budget request for 2007 J Dube asked for a copy of the contract the provider would like signed. It: she has removed the online component. If this can be si necessary training to have the software up and running guarantee a $3,000 per year minimum service charge to board to authorize the Supervisor to sign the agreement funds for a software program and has is less money than expected, because yned now, she can receive the the first of the year. The Town would this company. She would like the pending Atty Perkins' review. RESOLUTION # 166 - AUTHORIZE RECREATION SOFTWARE Cl Stelick offered the following resolution and asked for its adoption: RESOLVED, that this Town Board hereby authorizes the Supervisor to execute; a contract for recreation software for the recreation department pending approval of the Town Attorney. 2n" Cl Sumner Roll Call Vote Cl Tier Yes Supv Trumbull Yes Page 3 of' 12 T13 1 1 -15 -06 CI Stelick Yes Cl Sumner Yes J Dube said the board has received proposals from the Etna Community Association, Bethel Grove Community Association and Ellis Hollow Community Association for the $2,000 per center funding the board previously discussed. Etna also submitted a separate request for playground repairs. Cl Stelick said he will discuss the playground request, with the President of the Etna Community Association and get that request properly submitted. The contracts have been prepared and when signed the funds can be released to the community associations. The recreation study results prepared by the SUNY Cortland students will be presented tomorrow night at the Village Board meeting at 7:00 p.m. The Village of Dryden has asked J Dube to run the tree lighting ceremony at the Village Green this year. No funding from the Town is anticipated. A band showcase will be held at the Dryden Fire Department on Friday beginning at 6:30 p.m. The cost is $5.00 admission. Dryden Youth Cheerleaders did well at their competition with the senior squad taking most original routine and the junior squad taking first place overall and best showmanship. They are hoping the trophies can be displayed in the new town hall. ATTORNEY 0 Atty Perkins reported the closing had been held on the Van Pelt property. On October 31 bids were opened for the now monitor stations for the Cortland Road Sewer District. Atty Perkins said the original agreement between the Cortland Road Sewer District and the Village of Dryden only required that the manhole be designed so that the Village could put the equipment in place. That was done. The Village never took advantage of it. In the negotiations for a new sewer agreement, the Village asked the Town to install four sewer monitoring manholes at an estimated cost of not to exceed $70,100 (PLS estimate). PLS finally agreed with Hunt that three would be sufficient and estimated the cost of the three manholes at $55,100. The Town signed an agreement with Hunt Engineers on August 14 for this sewer manhole project and on August 10, before the agreement was signed, one of Hunt's Engineers said we'd do better than the PLS estimates for the cost of the manholes; that their estimate was a worst -case scenario. They wanted to open bids in early October with construction complete in November. Bids were opened October 31 and the projected completion date is now December 31 if the contract is awarded. Based on the fact that TC3 had agreed to pay for two of the manholes and the estimate was only $55,000 for all three of them, t:he Cortland Road Sewer District had enough money to pay for this. That is not now the case, unless TC3 increases its contribution. 'There is about $60,000 in the fund balance and the Town will raise about $36,000 in the coming year. That is $96,000 and the contract is $93,800 and Hunt's bill is $14,000, so there is not enough money without: TC3. The Supervisor will be meeting with TC3 in the near future and they are aware of the increased cost. Atty Perkins said whatever agreement is reached with TC3 will determine how this is paid for. The Town may have to go through a 202(b) proceeding. That involves holding a public hearing and adopting a public interest: order and a bond resolution authorizing the issuance of bonds to pay for the additional expense because there is not • enough in the budget for next year if TC3 doesn't pay a true two- thirds. Hunt has not yet provided the exact cost for each manhole and Atty Perkins will follow up on that. Atty Perkins explained the Town is not obligated to go through with this project because this is something Page 4of12 TEi i 1 -15 -06 the Town agreed to as a good -faith gesture to the Village, and it was done on other assumptions such as a cost of $55,000 not $93,000_ The other thing that affects this is the receipt of a Petition for Annexation of a large portion of the Cortland Road Sewer District. The negotiations with the Village and the fact that the Town was going to have 200,000 gallons per day capacity in the new plant were based on the current flows, plus projected build out. The 200,000 gallons will have to be adjusted if the properties are annexed. The sewer contract with the Village can't be completed until that capacity is determined. With respect to the monitoring, two of the three manholes involve TC3 and the Foundation and but the other has to do with the flows coming down North Street. The result is that if the annexation goes through, fewer people will have to bear the cost of the project. Atty Perkins said in his opinion the Petition for Annexation is legally insufficient. The certifications, signatures, and owners listed all have some problems. There is no description of the property. There is no allegation at all that it is in the public interest or why it is in the public interest to do this, and that is a finding that must be made. He said he assumes these matters will be corrected after they are brought to the attention of the petitioner. When it gets to the public hearing stage, the board will have to make a decision on whether it is in the public interest to have some of the properties left out on the corner, still in the Town and surrounded by the Village. Cl Sumner said if some of the properties end up in the Village, then the Town should not be bearing the full cost of the monitoring. Atty Perkins said the Town needs to move forward with the sewer agreement, but: the Town needs to discuss the change with the Village, then get the new numbers and iron out a contract. The ToNkm is going to have to pay a large portion of some reconstruction of sewer lines in the Village and the few properties left to pay that, the more expensive it is going to be, so that number needs to be determined. Atty Perkins advised the Board to make the Village aware that the bids are substantially higher than their estimates. The engineers need to look at: what happens if this annexation goes through and how it affects the projected 200,000 - gallon capacity. This needs to be determined now. Flow monitoring is underway at the Village Sewer Plant and the Town has agreed to pay $1,500 toward ghat. Atty Perkins recommended that the board call a public hearing for the December board meeting on this increase in the facilities of the sewer district. He suggested that TC3 and the Village attend as well as people in the sewer district and the matter be discussed with all involved. After that hearing the board could pass a bond resolution. He said the board needs to keep moving forward and narrowing the issues. When the Town and Village last met to discuss this, they talked about the need to have some provision in the agreement to adjust: the 200,000 if there was annexation. This needs to be firmed up and there is a not a lot more buildable land in what is left. The board agreed a public hearing needed to be called on the increase of the facilities of the sewer district in the amount of $1.07,800 which includes engineering fees, construction fees, etc. Once an agreement is reached with the Village and they are ready to proceed, another public hearing will be necessary and the bonding can all be rolled into one. in the meantime, they want to keep moving forward with the manholes. RESOLUTION ##167 - ORDER CALLING PUBLIC HEARING IN THE MATTER OF THE PROPOSED UPGRADE OF THE EXISTING TOWN OF DRYDEN CORTLAND ROAD SEWER DISTRICT PURSUANT TO TOWN LAW §202-b Cl Sumner offered the following resolution and asked for its adoption: Page 5 of 12 • 01613 11-15-06 WHEREAS, a plan, report and cost estimate have been duly prepared in such manner and detail as heretofore was determined by the Town Board of the Town of Dryden, Tompkins County, New York, relating to a proposed sewer district improvement: project, pursuant to Town Law § 202 -b for furnishing and installing three (3) fiberglass reinforced plastic (FRP) sanitary sewer flow monitoring stations and improvements to the Town of Dryden Cortland Road Sewer District (herein "Improvement Project"), and WHEREAS, said plan and report have been prepared by Hunt: Engineers, Architects & Land Surveyors, Inc., professional engineers, duly licensed by the State of New York and have been filed in the office of the `i own Clerk where it is available for public inspection, and WHEREAS, the area of said Town of Dryden Cortland Road Sewer District (the "District ") determined to be benefited by said Improvement Project consists of the entire area of the District as currently constituted, and WHEREAS, the proposed improvement Project consists of the improvements set forth below, as more particularly shown and described in said plan and report presently on file in the Office of the Town Clerk: Supply, install, maintain, and remove temporary bypass piping, and pumping of sewage in the existing sanitary sewers, supply and install three (3) FRP flow monitoring manholes, complete with area /velocity sensors and /or ultrasonic flow meters, with appurtenances, connected to the existing sanitary sewer, provide and install a pre -cast concrete sanitary sewer manhole with drop inlet, restore project sites to original conditions, including roadways and lawn areas, provide start -up and training for the flow monitoring manholes and meters, and WHEREAS, the maximum amount proposed to be expended for the aforesaid improvement is $124,000.00 and shall be a charge against the District and assessed, levied and collected in the stone manner as other charges against the District, NOW, THEREFORE, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED, by the Town Board of the Town of Dryden, Tompkins County, New York, as follows: Section 1.

This order shall take effect iinmediately. 2n11 Supv Trumbull Roll Call Vote Cl Tier Yes Supv Trumbull Yes Cl Stelick Yes Cl Sumner Yes Page 6 o to 12 TB I I -15-06 ZONING OFFICER ZO Slater delivered to board members correspondence from David Weinstein on behalf of the Planning Board regarding Red Mill Road Bridge. He said this urges the board to follow what most closely resembles "alternative b ". The whole eight year history of this project was assembled and delivered to the Planning Board. The Planning Board's recommendation is the replacement of the bridge. The Beck Farm employs 20 -25 employees depending on the time of year, comparable to or larger than several businesses in the area. Emergency services to that area would come from Freeville or Dryden, and not being able to use Red Mill Road Bridge doubles the response time. He said some of the alternatives were very costly and required the Town to build up to 400' of road. Taking the old trusses from the old bridge and installing them on the new bridge will qualify it for funding under State Historic Preservation, making the largest part of cost covered by federal and state government. He said it is not guaranteed that state government will pitch in, but they generally have. This leaves the total cost to the Town at $10,000 and he said this is a small investment considering two of the goals of the Town's Comprehensive Plan were preservation of our agriculture community and preservation of our open space. The Town spends money in other areas in significant amounts to support those activities, so to support one of the largest industries in our town (a large farm with 25 employees) $10,000 doesn't seem that much. ZO Slater said those things weren't touched on in the Planning Board's recommendation, but it was part of their discussion. The Planning Board had also determined that repairing the existing bridge was probably not an option because it was in such disrepair that you'd never stop fixing it. Relocation of the bridge under historic preservation as a walking path will si:ill require maintenance. They felt the best thing is to salvage the best parts and use them. Cl Stelick said he understood in the past that the State Historic Preservation Office would not sign off on a plan such as this, and ZO Slater said the report is that now they will. The cost to the County is about $40,000. M Hattery said the reason he asked the Planning Board to take a look at this is that John Lampman had asked what the Town's position is on Red Mill Road Fridge because they are about to refile their project list with the State in terms of priorities, and he wanted to get this on the record as a justification for moving Red Mill Road Bridge up on the list. Cl Sumner said in addition to preserving agriculture and historic features, we have to consider those people having to drive an extra several miles out of their way in their daily work. ZO Slater said the Becks estimated in 1.995 or so when they were denied use of the bridge, the extra fuel involved in going around cost the farm about $1.9,000 a year. The cost of fuel has risen considerably, Cl Stelick said it still depends on the County's ability to move the project up on the list, but they have assurance of the Town's share of the cost. RESOLUTION #168 - SUPPORT PLANNING BOARD'S RECOMMENDATION FOR RED MILL ROAD BRIDGE Cl Stelick offered the following resolution and asked for its adoption: RESOLVED, that the Dryden Town board supports the recommendation of the Planning • Board with respect to the Red Mill Road Bridge as hereinafter set forth: (1) The dismantling of the current bridge, saving the historic side girder assembly, Page 7 of 12 T13 11-15-06 (2) Replacement of the bridge with a new 24 foot wide structure that is unrated for weight limit and therefore capable of carrying at least 50 tons, and placed in the same location as the current bridge, and (3) Addition of the side girder assembly from the original bridge to the sides of the new bridge, to recover much of the original historic look of the bridge. This action is recommended for the following reasons: (1) 'rhis approach would greatly support the farming activities and operations in the bridge vicinity by providing these farms with easy access for farm equipment and produce to Suite Route 366. This would increase the viability of these farm operations, a goal stated as a high priority in our recently passed town comprehensive plan. (2) By providing easy access for farm machinery to Route 366 through this relatively unpopulated area, we will greatly reduce the amount of heavy farm machinery traffic that will need to pass through the much more densely populated Malloryville area. Further, the bridge that would have to be used in Malloryville is aging and might wear quickly with continued use by this machinery. A 24 foot: wide bridge is necessary to permit this type of use. (3) This approach represents the least expensive option for maintaining access from Red Mill bridge, estimated in 2004 to cost Dryden approximately $10,000. (4) The major elements of the historic character of the current bridge would be • maintained by adding the original girder assembly to a new bridge. By avoiding requiring this assembly to be load bearing, it will be much less expensive to maintain them and their associated historic character well into the future. 21A Supv Trumbull Roll Call Vote Cl 'Pier Yes Supv Trumbull Yes C1 Stelick Yes Cl Sumner Yes ZO Slater said that the Town's application under Restore NY to rehabilitate the Tuttle house had been rejected. No application submitted from Tompkins County was funded. Thoma Development believes the Town should reapply in the Spring. Two different people have expressed interest in purchasing the property and rehabilitating the property. Bernie Thoma told him that there was nothing on the application that stood out as being inadequate. The board will make a decision at a later date. ZO Slater said that while The Ithaca Journal ran a story about a business relocating to Dryden, he doesn't have a complete application for review, ZO Slater reported he has two companies interested in providing quotes for furnishing the new town hall and the board asked him to move forward with that. Cl Stelick asked about the status of the United Refineries building on the corner of Route 38 and North Street and ZO Slater said the building was going to be demolished. Page 8 of 12 'I'B 1 1 -15 -06 0 ENVIRONMENTAL PLANNER D Kwasnowski requested a budget modification in the amount of $648.00 to allow him to bring Josh Bogdan, GIS Intern, back over Christmas break. The balance of the necessary funds will be covered in the 2007 budget. RESOLUTION #169 - BUDGET MODIFICATION Supv Trumbull offered the following resolution and asked for its adoption: RESOLVED, that this Town Board hereby authorizes the following budget modification: From A1990.4 (Contingency) to A8020.101 (Personal Services GIS Intern) in the amount of $648.00. 2 „,i CI Stelick Roll Call Vote C1 Tier Yes Supv Trumbull Yes Cl Stelick Yes Cl Sumner Yes D Kwasnowski said the farmland protection grant for the Stuttle farm was approved and the Stuttles would like the Town, in partnership with the County, to order a market study of the development rights value. He said an appraisal will have to be done at some point and that will be more expensive and time consuming. Pomeroy & Associates out: of Syracuse (who did the Howser farm in Lansing) can do a market study for $500 to $1,000. The cost of this is included in the grant monies in the 2007 budget. If this is done as part of the grant, the board . will need to get approval from Ag & Markets first. Stuttles would like the market study done now to help determine what the development rights are. If they aren't high enough, and D Kwasnowski said that is unlikely, Stuttles could choose not to proceed. He would like the Town to pay for this now from contingency, and it can be used in the appraisal later. If we wait until after January 1, the established fwids can be used. We would still need permission from Ag tip Markets, and 75% of the cost would be covered by the State. After discussion and because the new fiscal year begins in six weeks or so, the board chose not to get the market: study now and wait until January. Because the VanYelt property has closed, work can begin on the Dryden- l+reeville Trail. The bridge over Egypt Creek needs to be repaired, the stream bank stabilized and the culvert between the creek and "Lake George” needs to be replaced. The purchase of the William George Agency property needs to be negotiated. DEC permits will be required for stream work. D Kwasnowski suggested that provisions for the culvert. work be included in any purchase agreement. D Kwasnowski said that in September or October the ten -year grant that we had been operating under for the trail work expired. However, he did put in a payment request to make sure they had a request on record. He also tried to change the distribution of funds but was not successful. He is hopeful the reimbursement request will keep the grant alive. The Transportation Enhancement Grant application was not successful. Fernando de'Aragon has suggested the town apply for funding under the Transportation Improvement: Program (an 80/20 share) for crossing George Road. D Kwasnowski proposed we apply for funding for the tunnel. He and Cl Sumner will meet tomorrow with Mr de'Aragon regarding multi -modal funding. The bottom line is that there may not be funding for this section of the grail. J Bush suggested the Town begin work writh the money it has already appropriated, dealing with the Sbridge first. Page 9 of 12 TB 11 -15-06 Applications have been received for positions on the Conservation Board and D Kwasnowski said hopefully they «rill have recommendations in December or January. A meeting for residents of the Ellis Hollow area regarding wells will be held on November 29, 2006. Craig Schutt, Chair of the Conservation Board, has sent: a letter to the Supervisor with respect to the ordinances the Town is looking to develop next: veal- (re -write of the zoning ordinance, stormwater including riparian buffer, stream set back and cluster subdivision ordinance). He asked for the procedure in the Town to develop policy like that. D Kwasnowski suggested a commission be formed consisting of two members appointed by the Chairs of the Zoning Board of Appeals, Conservation Board and Planning board and two members of the Town Board, with the Town Supervisor as Chair of the commission. He believes this will make the process run more smoothly and suggested regular meetings of the commission that are open to the public be held for twelve months after which a report and recommendation can be made to the Town Board. He will prepare a proposal if the Town Board agrees to proceed in this way. Cl Sumner said she believes this is a good way to proceed and that both the Planning Board and Conservation Board have felt strongly they wanted to be involved. She said she would be willing to serve on this commission and wondered if Cl Christofferson would be interested since he is the board representative for the Zoning Board of Appeals. D Kwasnowski will prepare a resolution for the Board to pass next month. TOWN CLERK B Hollenbeck asked the board to approve the minutes of September 26, October 5 and October 1.2, 2006. RESOLUTION #170 - APPROVE MINUTES Cl Stelick offered the following resolution and asked for its adoption: RESOLVED, that this Town Board hereby approves the Town Board meeting minutes of September 26, 2006, October 5, 2006, and October 12, 2006. 2111I Cl Sumner Roll Call Vote Cl Tier Yes Supv Trumbull Yes Cl Stelick Yes Cl Sumner Yes The board has a list of the delinquent water, sewer and engineering fees and asked the board to pass a resolution to add these amounts to the 2007 tax bills if they are not paid prior to the time the roll is sent to the County RESOLUTION # 171 - ADD DELINQUENT WATER & SEWER AND ENGINEERING FEES TO 2007 TAX ROLL Cl Stelick offered the following resolution and asked for its adoption: RESOLVED, that this Town Board hereby authorizes the addition of the following water and sewer bills ru-id engineering fees to the 2007 tax roll: Page 10 of 12 "IIB 11-15-06 .

She talked with Heather lailiberto a.t Tompkins County Planning and got. some guidelines the County uses for their revolving loan fund. She said there are at least two people interested in applying for a loan. There is presently about $120,000 in available funds, so the decision is how soon do use need Cayuga Press to pay off their loan, and we probably won't need it until at least: March. If the Town is interested in applying for another grant, it will not reflect favorably on the Town if the funds are not being used wisely_ She would like to apply for a grant: next year, so we should get on top of this one. A subcommittee would need to be formed to handle and review applications and take care of the paperwork. She would like the board to resolve to ask Cayuga Press to repay the balance of their loan within three months after they move. Cl Stelick would like to wait a month to make a decision and said he understands there isn't a time frame unless the board makes one. Atty Perkins said it is better to take no action until the board decides what: it is going to do. Cl Tier said his concern is that under the loan agreement there were certain obligations to be met in terms of employment, and those were • met in less time than required. Unfortunately they expanded beyond the capabilities of the facility and were no longer able to stay in town. He doesn't .cant to penalize the company because they met their obligations. Cl Sumner said one of their obligations was to stay in the Page If of 12 TB 11 -15 -06 . gown, but there are also very attractive benefits to being in the Empire Zone in Cortland that they are relocating to. The board made a resolution allowing that move, but made no resolution regarding the repayment of the current: loan. Cl Steliek would like to discuss this next month when Cl Christofferson can be present. He said there two things to be considered: the Cayuga Press loan, and setting up a group as suggested by Cl Sumner to deal with the money that we currently have because we have some possibilities for those funds and we need to decide how to move forward with those. Supv Trumbull said he believes it: is a good idea to have a public hearing on changing the assessment formula for the Leisure Lane lighting district. That will be held in December and Supv Trumbull will let the board know the last date that can happen. Supv Trumbull said the Youth Commission has an opening that needs to be filled. They have also requested a liason for that commission. Cl Sumner said she would like someone to attend those meetings and report to the board. There is a desire to continue the Youth Conservation Corps. There are funds for staff and workers, but they need a location from which to operate. We will check with the Village of Freeville. Cl Sumner has been approached by someone who would like to see a volunteer cleanup day at Dryden Lake in the spring. The Board and J Bush agree this would be nice, and Cl Sumner will follow up with the resident who suggested it.
