Supv Trumbull opened the meeting at 7:00 p.m. and led board members and guests in
the pledge of allegiance.
Broome Developmental Disabilities Services Office ( BDDSO) Monica Ruszika of
BDDSO introduced her colleagues Rich Anderson, Sandy Beach, Lori Tinkham and Nancy
Crom, and family members Shirley Gray and Chris Sanspirito. BDDSO is interested in
developing a property at 242 Pinckney Road as a group home, for three gentlemen in need of
residential placement in Tompkins County. it is a three bedroom ranch style home and they
feel the location is perfect because of its close proximity to family members, work options, day
programming and is close enough to Ithaca and Cortland for its residents to participate in
shopping and recreational activities in those cities. The gentlemen projected for this home all
have been classified as developmentally disabled and are eligible for services through the Office
of Mental Retardation and Developmental Disabilities, and they feel they would do best in a
rural setting. There is bus service available at that location.
The home was designed for an individual who was handicapped. It has a wheel chair
ramp and doorways are wide enough to accommodate a wheel chair. They met with a lot of the
immediate neighbors and received support from them. ZO Slater said the use is consistent
"4th local zoning regulations and he doesn't see any issues. They are renting the property so it
will not come off the tax rolls, but if they do purchase the property it will come off the tax roll.
Atty Perkins said there are special rules about denying this request and certain
grounds. In the past the board has had a public information meeting where they have notified
the neighbors so they can be informed and there is more public input. The wait list for
individuals in Tompkins County requiring residential placement is quite lengthy and the home
would be used for Tompkins County individuals.
RESOLUTION #46 - SUPPORT BDDSO GROUP HOME
Cl Sumner offered the following resolution and asked for its adoption:
WHEREAS, Broome Developmental Disabilities Services Offices has informed this board
of its desire to acquire by lease or purchase a residential home at 242 Pinckney Road in the
Town of Dryden for use as a group home for individuals who are developmentally disabled and
appeared before the board and explained its use of the residence, now, therefore be it

wanted to recognize and appreciate the cooperation and assistance of the Town's Public Safety
Committee and the board in 2006. They look forward to increased cooperation and
collaboration between the Department and the Town Board in 2007.
Advanced Design Consulting USA, Inc.
Alex Deyhim of Advanced Design Consulting (ADC) gave a brief presentation of his
company, what they do and how they have grown since 1995. They have purchased property
north of the Village of Dryden on Route 13 and would like to move the business there in order
to expand. They had considered moving to Tennessee because of tax incentives, etc., but
decided they preferred the quality of life in this area. They anticipate bringing 30 new jobs to
the area initially, and expanding to 80 jobs. They recently passed a resolution to allocate 51%) of
their annual net profit as an "earth tax" to be used for helping the environment. They have
talked with Tompkins County Area Development and are seeking grants to help with the cost of
expansion. A Deyhim talked about some of the products they manufacture and contracts they
have secured and invited the board to visit their current facility.
They are currently planning two buildings on the property they purchased in the Town
and provided a drawing of the property and location of the buildings. They are working at
getting the Financing in line, while continuing to do business and secure contracts. They
expect to be able to break ground in the summer of 2007.
ZO Slater said he met with A Deyhim and Gary Wood about the SEQR process and
segmentation and they have withdrawn their previous application and are preparing a new
application. All other involved agencies were concerned with segmentation and ZO Slater has
spoken with them about a revised plan. They agree the applicant should submit an application
that is doable and they will do that. He explained the purpose of ADC being here tonight was
to let the board know what they were doing. The application should be ready to go in March or
April and this project can be accomplished with on -site water and sewer service.
Mike Hattery asked why they didn't move their development down toward North Road
and was told that they chose this location because of the visibility aspects. Cl Christofferson
suggested they consider an additional driveway on North Road.

• COUNTY BRIEFING
Mike Hatt:ery asked whether the Board had comments on the County's proposed local
law for emergency radio communications protection. Cl Stelick said the; 'T'own's consultant had
provided an opinion that the Town of Dryden already provided adequate protective measures
under its Local Law #2 of 2006, and further had commented that it appeared potentially
burdensome to building permit applicants and Town staff. M Hattery asked that a copy of the
letter be forwarded to the County Attorney,
Tompkins County %vill be holding three pre- budget forums. One will be in Dryden and
is tentatively scheduled for March 3 at 9:30 a.m. at Neptune Hose.
M Hattery said he has some concerns about budgeting for provider equipment for the
new communication system.
Martha Robertson
said
there is a meeting on March 1 at 7:00
p.m. at the Ellis Hollow
Community Center about
the
gas pipeline from Cornell to Dominion
Gas.
Etna Community Association is holding their Chocolate Fest on Saturday from 10 to
noon and benefits the Association. Cl Sumner noted that the Association thanks the Town of
Dryden for their work on the playground, etc.
A preview of the governor's budget indicates they are proposing a lot of changes. The
County doesn't see any new big mandates or any great relief as far as the programs the County
provides.
• With respect to the Help America Vote Act , M Robertson reported the company that has
been testing machines for New York State (and has done so in other parts of the country ) has
failed a testing audit. New York State has stopped the process until that is sorted out and is
encouraging the Federal Government to extend the deadline to comply until after the
presidential election.
Mike Lane said that Suffolk County has a lawsuit to have it declared that the lever
machines comply with HAVA assuming they add ballot marking devices at the polls. He asked
whether Tompkins County had discussed joining in that: lawsuit. M Robertson said she hadn't
heard anything about it.
ENGINEERING
Andy Sciarabba reported they had been working with the Highway Superintendent on
the access road for the new town hall building and will be reviewing the profile and cross -
sections with him tomorrow. 1t: will be a 1S' gravel road with a swale on one side. He reviewed
a dra«7ng with the board. He has also been working J Bush on the highway specifications.
ATTORNEY
Atty Perkins has previously provided the board with a memo and proposed local law
regarding enforcement of the Uniform Fire and Building Code. ZO Slater and his department
have reviewed it and Atty Perkins said it conforms with the new regulations which went into
effect on January 1, 2007. There is also an associated fee schedule. The local law allows the
Town to adopt fees and a fee schedule by resolution after a public hearing. He said the public
hearing requirement is important because it gives the public an opportunity to comment on
what they are going to have to pay.

With respect to the manholes monitoring project in the Cortland Road Sewer District,
Atty Perkins said they had received figures from Hunt Engineers on the savings to the district if
the Town performed the work. The total materials cost: would be $71,500 and the work would
be done with the Town's manpower. The low bid received for the project was $93,000, and we
were unable to negotiate a reduction.

ZO Slater reported that work is proceeding on schedule with the new town hall. There
is temporary heat in the building and concrete will be poured for the floors next: week,
assuming the frost issue clears up. The frost is currently 24" deep.
ZO Slater has been working on furniture needs for the new building with a vendor,
McNamara Furniture Supply. They have helped him pick a line of furniture that is durable
and consistent with the woods in the new building. With a list of needs from all departments
he has come up with an estimate and will be sending it to the building committee soon for
review. Once; the committee is comfortable with the list he would like to send out a request for
proposals. Funds for furnishings have yet to be approved by the board.
On January 13 Gina Prentiss of the Dryden Historical Society and Rick Lazarus, who is
a historic preservation expert particularly for barns, visited the Tuttle property. They
concluded that the original barn was actually built around 1800. It was the opinion of R
Lazarus that the original barn could be separated out and restored. The foundation will need
the most work. His opinion of the house was that it had been compromised too many times to
be of any historical value. The foundation of the house may be utilized to repair the foundation
of the barn. The Dryden Historical Society and Historic Ithaca have indicated a willingness to
seek funding and possibly volunteers for renovation of the barn. If the house is demolished
there will need to be an asbestos abatement survey because of the asbestos siding on the
house. Mike Lane said the land is what is important, not the house.
ZO Slater explained that: Civil Service classification for Tricia Strickland needed to be
changed.
