Hollenbeck, Town Clerk Jack Bush, Highway Superintendent Other Town Staff: Mahlon R. Perkins, Town Attorney Daniel Kwasnowski, Environmental Planner Dave Putnam, TG Miller Engineers Henry Slater, Zoning Officer Kevin Ezell, Zoning Officer Jennifer Dube, Recreation Coordinator Supv Trumbull explained that. there would be two public hearings concerning unsafe structures in the Town. WEHLAND - Unsafe structure at 1.995 Dryden Road Atty Perkins said this is a collapsed garage at 1995 Dryden Road. The parties have been served with notice. K Ezell said one of the heirs informed him there is nothing they can do and don't plan to do anything at this time. CARPENTER - Unsafe structure at 2242 Dryden Road. Evan Carpenter said he has received a grant to rehabilitate the barn across the road from the unsafe structure, but the amount was not sufficient to do the job properly. He has just applied for (and it appears he will receive) additional funds, and they will be using beams from the unsafe structure in the rehabilitation project. He said he does understand the Town's concern. After discussion, the board told Evan Carpenter to provide the board with a progress report in September and let them know if he will need additional time. Atty Perkins said the board should pass a resolution saying that in the event work is not completed on the collapsed barns by November 1, the Town reserves the right: according to its notice to enter the property and complete the work, provided the owners can come back by October 1 and request on extension on showing that progress has been made. He will prepare a proposed resolution for the next Town Board meeting. The Carpenter public hearing was closed at 7:28 p.m. With respect to the Wehland property, Atty Perkins said the board would have to wait sixty days from service of the notice, and after June 18 the board could resolve to have the work done. if the expense of having the work clone is not paid to the Town, it will be added to the tax bill for the property. The public hearing was closed at 7:34 p.m. Page I of 20 f T13 5 -10 -07 . NEW TOWN HALL BUII.DING ZO Slater said there were four change orders to be considered. He has previously provided the board with a summary of the change orders to date and the net. change, which is less than 1% of the value of the project. CRP GC No. 14 is for roof framing modifications resulting in an additional expense of $916.00. CRP GC No. 15 is for various changes to the doors, frames and hardware resulting in a decreased cost of $4,405.00. CRP HV -2 is for installation of variable frequency drives for energy recovery units resulting in additional expense of $2,099.00. CRP No. E -6 is the cost of installing a dedicated circuit for the microwave in the lunchroom resulting in additional $368.00. Cl Makar asked that an educational notice be put in the lunchroom about how unhealthy microwaves are and will prepare that notice. RESOLUTION #87 - APPROVE CHANGE ORDERS FOR-NEW TOWN HALL Cl Stelick offered the following resolution and asked for its adoption: RESOLVED, that this Town Board hereby approves Change Orders CRP GC No. 14, CRP GC No. 15, CRP HV -2, and CRP No. E -6, and the Town Supervisor is authorized to execute the same. 2..a Supv Trumbull Roll Call Vote Cl Makar Yes Cl Christofferson Yes Supv Trumbull Yes Cl 4D Stelick Yes Cl Sumner Yes Clerk of the Works John Holmes reported that the building is coming along very well. The brick veneer is nearing completion. The exterior soffit and fascia was started this week. The domestic water line is connected to the building. Retaining wall work should start next week. The geof thermal heating and cooling piping installation will be complete in about two days and the sheet metal ducting should be complete in about two weeks. The south wing is receiving finishes and cabinets are being installed. The skylight should be installed next week. The server lines have been installed and must be tested. Hookups were provided for residences on the same side of East Main Street. He asked that. anyone wanting to visit the building is welcome, but for safety reasons must be escorted by him, Henry Slater or Flint Brann. A mid August completion date is anticipated. DRYDEN YOUTH COMMISSION Kris Bennett of Tompkins County Youth Services said she is the link from the County to the Dryden Youth Commission and has been working with that group for six years. The Annual Report of the Commission was distributed to board members. The report explains the programming that took place this past year in Dryden together with the budget. The funding for the Youth Commission is a blend of money from Tompkins County and New York State and matched by the Town. Last year's budget was $82,000 and this year is around $85,000. The funding provides programming for youth under the age of 21. This is not recreation programming, but other types of programming. Last year 58 young people had jobs or got job training as a result of this funding with the summer recreation programs, Youth Conservation Corps or as employees of Cornell Cooperative Extension. Some young people participated in healthy summer activities such as the Junior Police Academy or Brooktondale Summer Day • Camp. The Youth Commission helps fund the Brooktondale Summer Day Camp because some Dryden residents attend the Ithaca Schools and feel more of a connection with that area. K Bennett reviewed other programs funded by the Youth Commission. She said their programs Page 2 of 20 TB 5 -10 -07 • support skill building and a connection to positive peers and adults, etc. Many programs are provided for middle school children. K Bennett said there will not be a Youth Conservation Corps this year. The Ithaca Youth Bureau has decided not to run that program anymore because it is difficult for them administratively. The Youth Commission spent a number of months trying to identify another provider for that program, but was not successful. They do have a lead for something for next year. This year there will be additional youth job opportunities instead, including some positions at the Dryden Skate Park, a clerical position and public works position at the Village of Dryden. David Hall, full time youth program manager for Dryden Youth Services, said that he and his assistant, Tom Archibald, work on behalf of the Dryden Youth Commission creating a calendar of ongoing enrichment programs. Two of the participants present have been involved in programs such as first aid class, stilt walking, primitive pursuits, computer classes, cooking classes, etc. The youth learn new skills, gain confidence from trying new things, and learn social skills, teamwork, communication, etc. The primitive pursuits program started in Dryden as an every other week club and grew in popularity and now meets in every town across the County. They may do this program for adults in the near future. He described some of the tasks performed in primitive pursuits, such as identifying plants, obtaining drinking water, etc. Two participants, Sonia and April, described the programs they have been involved in and the skills they have learned. Tom Archibald said these programs provide a safe environment where the young people can take risks in a safe way and stretch their boundaries and learn new things. The other goal they have is to facilitate Life skills and foster self - confidence. They do a lot of community- minded activities. Linda Schoffel, Coordinator of Rural Youth Services, said they are working in every municipality in the County except the City of Ithaca. They have 14 positions in the County held by 13 program managers. There are vans available through Cooperative Extension that they use for their programs. There are many collaborative possibilities through Cooperative Extension. The goal of Rural Youth Services is positive youth development. Research says that youth need to try to new things, that middle school kids need to take risks and develop life skills. They need to develop relationships with other youth and with adults. They try to make the programs so that everyone has a place and create an atmosphere where everyone feels comfortable. Kids with these opportunities and adult support are going to have positive outlooks and develop internal assets that: help them get through the tough parts of life and resist risky behaviors. FIRE DEPARTMENTS Dan Hill, Chairman of the Board of Neptune Hose and Dryden Ambulance, said they had had a productive meeting with the Emergency Services Committee. Cl Makar said they met with Neptune and Varna Fire. They would like to start the process for getting the contracts signed earlier so that checks can be cut earlier each year. He suggested the Emergency Services Committee review the contracts in September or October and as soon as the budget is approved the contracts can be sent out. Atty Perkins said that if any changes are to be made to the contract, the departments should receive them early and have an opportunity to review them and comment. Cl Makar said at the Chiefs meeting they discussed the term "active firefighter" and who • defines that. Cl Sumner said the Town is supposed to have a definition of the term and let the departments know what that is. It will probably be based on what they already have and will have to be adopted by the Town Board. Pale 3 of 20 TB 5 -10 -07 Cl Makar said that Neptune would like to have a two -year contract like Dryden Ambulance has, and it may be easier for the board to have two -year contracts for all the departments. The possibility of a "supplemental fuel resolution" for the fire departments was discussed and whether the funds would come from unassigned monies in the fire protection portion of the budget. Cl Makar said if the departments came to the board and said they were way over their budget for fuel, he would like to be able to help them. Cl Sumner said she's not sure she would want to distinguish gas over runs from any others and would hope that all the departments know that if they have a financial emergency that they could come to the board. Anne Grant said that the major fundraiser for the Southworth Library every year is the book sale. The problem they have encountered is that they have no place to centrally store the books for the sale where they are safe. They need a space approximately 1.0 feet by 10 feet and are hoping that when the current town hall is vacated, some space could be allocated to them. With the funds from the book sale they have greatly increased the number of dvds they have to loan. Some funds have been used as match for a grant to restore the old photographs in the library. They have enlarged the collection of large print books and instituted a program where they deliver books to Willowbrook Manor. She has also been involved with a group of ladies, referred to as the 10 sleeping bag ladies" who make sleeping bags and give them (together with other items) to homeless people. Some of the ladies have passed on and the group has receive(] a grant, part; of which they would like to use to purchase a bench or tree to be placed at the new town hall in their honor. • She asked the board to consider these two items and let her know about the storage for the books as soon as possible. Dave Perazone of Mason-Dixon Energy, representing Ansbro Petroleum, said they are interested in leasing some of the town's property. He will get a proposal and list of the parcels together for the Town Supervisor. After that has been circulated, the matter can be put on the agenda for board review. A public hearing may be required. Helen Mandeville, said she lives on Brookt:ondale Road, next to the Town of Caroline. She said she wondered whether the board was aware of the issues in her neighborhood and would like to start some sort of communication. She brought a copy of the newsletter from the Town of Caroline, and would like the board to set up some informational meetings. She is willing to help with that. H Mandeville said she usually goes to the Six Mile Creek Task Force meetings. The pipeline that comes through her property was exposed a few years ago and repaired. They ended up with a huge gravel bank which collected more gravel over the next few years and now the creek is encroaching closer and closer to the road. The pipeline on the other side is now exposed. She has been working with Craig Schutt from TC Soil & Water. Any help from the To%vn would be useful. She noted that there are problems in the section of Six Mile Creek that runs through the Town of Dryden and illicit discharge sources have been identified. Joseph Solomon of 31 Lower Creek Road said there are traffic safety hazards on Lower Creek Road. The road makes a 90° turn in front of their house and their house has been hit by a vehicle that failed to make the turn. Another time, their house would have been hit again except a TCAT bus prevented the car from reaching their house. Recently the woodpile in • front of his house was hit. He said the problem is excessive speed around the corner from each direction. He spoke with J Bush last year and two signs were put: up (15 mph suggested speed). Page 4 W'20 TB 5 -10 -07 • Cl Sumner said she had asked the Sheriff to do some speed enforcement: there and he indicated he would. J Solomon said they would let the deputies sit in their driveway, but was told the deputies need to patrol. Cl Sumner said she would follow up with Sheriff Meskill and that Mr Solomon should also. There was some discussion about the guardrail that needs to be repaired and whether it could be continued across the front of the Solomon property. J Bush said they had discussed it and he would be willing to do that, but would be unable to build a driveway on the other side of the property. Martha Robertson suggested a stop sign from each direction may make a difference. J Solomon said that people run the stop signs at the post office. J Bush suggested the board could request a lower speed limit. The board asked the town engineer to look at the situation and the options, and Supv Trumbull will contact the Sheriff' and ask him to send a deputy to the area. CAYUGA PRESS HUD LOAN Peter Schug of Cayuga Press introduced his attorney, Jon Orkin. He explained that J Orkin was also familiar with the HUD loan as he represented Cayuga Press at that tame. P Schug said the Town was the recipient of money from the Federal government and Cayuga Press applied for it through Tompkins County, Cl Christofferson said because Cayuga Press took the initiative, the Town benefits through the repayment of the loan. There was an ad in the paper and Cayuga Press was the only applicant. The terms of the loan agreement provide that the Town can call the note due in the event the recipient of the funds relocated out of the Town of Dryden. Cl Sumner said she had difficulty believing that Cayuga Press did not plan for this • eventuality if they chose to move from the Town of Dryden. J Orkin said P Schug did come to the board prior to moving and said that he wanted to work with the board. J Orkin said that he believes that all the Dryden residents that: received jobs pursuant to this HUD loan still have their jobs. Cayuga Egress moved "as the crow flies, about 5 -6 miles from here ". Cl Makar noted the new location is 17.6 miles from the old location, a 25 minute drive. J Orkin said he has been a resident of the Town for 23 years and attorney for Cayuga Press for 20 years. P Schug is still a resident of the Town of Dryden; Chris Clauson, the Judge, is a resident (also employed at Cayuga Press). J Orkin said he takes issue with C1 Sumner saying these are now Cortland jobs, when the employees are Dryden residents who had jobs created by Cayuga Press and this grant, and they still have the jobs. He said if the action the board takes causes Cayuga Press an economic burden during their transition, the downfall of that may affect Dryden residents. He said it is not the mileage that is the issue. Dryden residents are earning money and paying Dryden taxes like they always have, and not a lot has changed. Cl Makar asked whether he was suggesting if the loan was called, Cayuga Press would have to lay people off. J Orkin said that any time you ask a commercial entity to come up with $250,000, it is going to cause a hardship. Cl Sumner said that is why they haven't asked that. She understands that P Schug is a Dryden resident and recognizing that he has been able to keep the Dryden employees is why they have extended it and said they won't even consider calling it for almost a }rear, and that there will 90 days notice on top of that. J Orkin said they are not here to do a public negotiation. They want to known what, the reason behind call the loan due is. They want to know if it is punitive. Cl Sumner said there are two issues. The interest rate for the loan is very low. It is less than the Town would be making on an equivalent amount of money in the bank, so there is a • consideration for raising the interest rate. The other consideration is that there are other people looking for economic loans, and the Town will be advertising soon the availability of money for economic loans and they would rather give the money to someone who is doing Page 5 of20 T13 5 -10 -U7 • business in Dryden. They are willing to not consider it for almost a year, and if the Town does get an applicant they will let P Schug know and there will still be a 90 -day window to resolve it. She said the issue is the low interest rate and making the money available to Dryden businesses. Cl Christofferson asked how it has negatively affected the Town. Cl Sumner said because the money is not available to Dryden businesses and because the Town is earning less money on the investment than it would be if it were in the bank. Cl Christofferson said they are still paying taxes on the business. Martha Robertson explained that the County had a part in the initial paperwork and administration and the money that originally came from the Federal government is paid back to the Town. It is money that was loaned in good faith and now we are actually losing money on it because of the low interest rage. It is less than the interest the town would be making if the money were in the bank. She thinks it is a generous offer to have the extended time period and let them pay it: back with an increased interest rate, and to have a 90 day clause. She said she wonders if there was some promise before Cayuga Press moved that the loan would not be called. She said he had to have figured into his business plan when he moved the possibility that he would have to pay the loan back. Cl Christofferson said he's not sure why a small group is after Cayuga Press. He is in favor of raising the interest rate some and for having a shorter term, but he thinks we should have something that gives them some kind of business plan to work with. Cl Sumner said we've made that proposal and Cl Christofferson said he understands the term is very short. • There was some discussion about whether a proposal was prepared and sent to Cayuga Press. Atty Perkins said he informed Cayuga Press of the proposed terms. Cl Sumner asked P Schug if he was objecting to the proposal and he said he was. Cl Christofferson said he understood they were not objecting to the percentage, but to the term, which Cl Sumner said was a year plus 90 days. Cl Makar said the earliest Cayuga Press would have to repay the loan in full would be July 9, 2008, and the interest rate would be increased from 2% to 4 %. P Schug said they are still maintaining jobs in the Town of Dryden between their office in Dryden and their sister company, Mailbox of Ithaca. They still own the buildings and he said they didn't "pack up and dump on Dryden." He said this feels like a punitive action because they took a piece of metal that HUD said they could put in the Town of Dryden and create jobs with and moved it down the road. The jobs are still there with it and the only thing he did was move the press to another place. Cl Sumner said it's not punitive and they thought it was a reasonably generous offer because he is a Dryden resident. She said the extreme option is to call it immediately or raise the interest to 8 %. Cl Makar said he checked with three banks in town and the best commercial rate he could get was 7.75 %. He noted the 4% the Town is asking for is less than it would earn if the money was in a CD. P Schug said he has no issue in raising the rate to 4 %. But he can't run a business wondering if at anytime the Town will call the $250,000 due. They just built a new building and added a lot of stuff and have a huge amount of debt. Part: of their planning was maintaining the existing debt they have, not having to come up with the $250,000. Jon Orkin asked if there was a way they could discuss the matter with Atty Perkins because it is difficult to talk about the business here and he feels uncomfortable with it. After • discussion, Jon Orkin said that they would present a proposal through Atty Perkins and Atty Perkins noted that any decision would be made in a public meeting. Page 6 of 20 any still said a nyi J Orkin back room have those what they :hing over c said he has to dealing. Cayu jobs and they are doing. He on anybody. TB 5- 10-07 take exception to something that was said. There hasn't been ga Press created the jobs they were required to create and they don't want to lose those jobs. They have always been open and said it needs to be a matter of record that they never tried to put CI Christofferson said we need to work with the people in our town. CI Sumner said the Town has been talking about this for almost a year and it's the Town's responsibility as well as theirs. She said it is not a punitive issue at all and she doesn't believe anyone thinks there is any back room dealings at all. She wants to move on and get it settled, and she doesn't understand why it is taking so long. S St Laurent said he would like to point out to Cl Christofferson that saying that he's known these people for years doesn't do a whole lot to dispel the notion that there is nothing going on. HIGHWAY DEPARTMENT/ DPW Jack Bush said that as noted by John Holmes, they have installed the sewer line for the new Town Hall. There are a few things that need to be finished up and the line needs to be tested. He is proud of the work done by his crew. They will continue to do these projects as well as their regular work. J Bush said the asphalt prices are still high this year. This is one of the hardest time for the Highway Department because of the increased calls that come with nice weather regarding sweeping the roads, tree damage, etc. They normally have a day in May for cleanup of trees and brush from storm damage. That took almost two weeks to do this year and put them behind in hauling stone so they can pave sooner when the prices are cheaper. Since t:he budget was approved last fall and the §284 Agreement was signed in January, they have deter-mined that certain other work is necessary. In checking the roads this spring they discovered several crossover pipes that need to be replaced. It would not make sense to pave a road only to dig up a portion to replace a crossover pipe. Accordingly, he is requesting revisions to the §284 Agreement as outlined in his memo of April 26 and several roads will now be surface treated. These are roads that have not been surface treated in the last five years. He noted that Cornell's recommendation is that roads be surface treated every three to five years. He has tried to be on a five -year plan, but has not been able to accomplish that because of budget constraints. He would like to do the surface treating now while prices are still lower, and at their convenience start replacing the crossover pipes and get the roads ready for next year. RESOLUTION #88 - AMEND §284 AGREEMENT Cl Stelick offered the following resolution and asked for its adoption: RESOLVED, that this Town Board hereby amends the 2007 §284 Agreement as follows: The following roads are deleted: Quarry Road, Peaceful Drive, Eagleshead Road, Deer Run Road, Hunters Lane, Woodland Road, Hickory Road, Hickory Circle, Lone Oak Road, Beechnut Terrace, Sunny Slope Road, Snyder Hill Court. The following roads are added for paving: Gee Hill Road, Kimberly Drive, Kimberly Circle, Hollister Road and Herman Road triangle. The following roads are added for surface treating: West Lake Road, Chaffee Road, Schutt Road, Purvis Road, Watros Road, Lilac Lane, Walker Road, Simms Hill Road, Lailani Lane, Livermore • Road, Livermore Cross Road, Farview Drive, Orion Drive, Mott: Road, Cady Lane, Hart Road, Kirk Road, Sheldon Road, Wood Road, Cobb Road, Bailey Drive, Mt.

The park will officially open for business on June 4, 2007, C1 Christofferson said he had spoken to a few parents who were really excited about it because their kids will not bu going to Ithara to use their park now- Cl l telick said that eight years ago he received a call from someone saying the kids needed a skate park. Because of her parsistence in working with the Tillage and an 40 unfortunsF.e accident with a young man in the community, ecr }'I.hing has come together and we now have a skate board park. It is really nice to see a project that has been percolating for a long time finally come to frilition_ Page 1 1 of 20 Tl3 5 -10 -07 ATTORNEY Atty Perkins has sent the board a memo on the Cortland Road Sewer District charges. He pointed out that the Village gave the Town one set of numbers in January and ultimately= adopted a different set. The Town has adopted the higher number and Atty Perkins said it doesn't amount to very much, probably $1 or $2 per user. As long the Town collects more than it has to pay the Village, we're all set. Cl Sumner said any excess will help to create some emergency repair funds. Cl Christofferson noted that a few parcels from the Cortland Road Sewer District have been annexed to the Village and it would make sense to have the whole thing annexed. He asked how many customers were left and was told there are about 40 bills that go out (including TC3 and the High School). ZO Slater said that a few years ago a group of people tried to get the residents of the district interested. Cl Stelick said that Mike Lane held an information meeting on the subject, and people apparently decided against annexation. Atty Perkins noted that the body of users in the sewer district is getting smaller and smaller and the Village is asking them to pay for part of this interceptor and rate and a quarter on top of that. One of the reasons behind the rate and a quarter is that the Village paid for a sewer plant, but those bonds have been paid off. Cl Stelick said that: the water line has now been run under Route 38 to the Enterprise Drive area and people are looking to develop in that area. Consensus of the board is to charge district customers as advertised in our local law. S St Laurent noted that a few years ago there was talk at the State of allowing municipalities to take a more active role in annexation, and noted it might be worth asking our state representatives to take another look at that. With respect to the matter with G DeVincentis, Atty Perkins said that he, Supv Trumbull and Chuck hranzese met and talked about some middle ground. Supv Trumbull communicated those discussions to the board. Atty Perkins received a call late today from Chuck Francese saying he had talked with G DeVincentis and they understand our position are willing to meet somewhere near the middle. They have suggested $90,000. Attyy Perkins said this would free up the DPW for other work. This figure is a discount from what their bid was ($93,800) and the town would receive credit for the purchase of the manholes. RESOLUTION #96 - APPROVE PROPOSAL FROM G DEVINCENTIS Cl Christofferson offered the following resolution and asked for its adoption: WHEREAS, the Dryden Town Board has heretofore rejected all bids for the Cortland Road Sewer District; Sewer Manhole Monitoring Project on the basis that they were higher than anticipated, and WHEREAS, in order to save some expense the Town Board resolved to undertake the project using Town forces, and WHEREAS, the apparent low bidder, G DeVincentis, has taken exception to the rejection of its bid after receiving a notice of award which was erroneously issued to G DeVincentis, and Page 12 of 20 TB 5 -10 -07 • WHEREAS, negotiations with G DcVincentis have led to an agreement: whereby G DcVincentis will perform the work and has agreed that the project cost will not exceed $90,000 with Town furnishing the manholes, pipe and monitoring equipment and receiving a. credit for the cost thereof, NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that the Town Supervisor is authorized to enter into a negotiated agreement with G DeVincentis for the construction of the project at a cost not to exceed $90,000 without further authorization by the Town Board. 211d Cl Sumner Roll Call Vote Cl Makar Yes Cl Christofferson Yes Supv Trumbull Yes CI Stelick Yes Cl Sumner Yes CI Stelick noted that he is very disappointed with Hunt Engineering on this project. The Town was told at first that we were talking about $50,000 to $60,000 for this project and it came in with $93,000 as low bid. The Town made some mistakes, but is paying professional engineers to guide us through these projects. It is a huge discrepancy for something that is not really out of the ordinary. He said he is not interested in working with Hunt in the future. At.t:y Perkins has prepared a proposed resolution for the unsafe structure at 972 Dryden Road. Kevin Ezell explained this is a nonconforming structure in that it is too close to the road and the owner was concerned that if it was removed he may not be able to replace it in that location. He can, however, obtain a building permit and rebuild it. RESOLUTION #97 - RESOLUTION PURSUANT TO TOWN OF DRYDEN LOCAL LAW NO. 2 OF THE YEAR 1981 (THE TOWN OF DRYDEN UNSAFE BUILDINGS LAW) WITH RESPECT TO THE PREMISES AT 972 DRYDEN ROAD Cl Stelick offered the following resolution and asked for its adoption: WHEREAS, the Town Board has received a written report in such form and detail as it deems appropriate with respect to the condition of a garage located at 972 Dryden Road, and WHEREAS, the garage has completely collapsed and is unfit for any purpose, and WHEREAS, numerous attempts by Town staff to compel the owners of said garage to obtain a building permit to restore the same or a demolition permit to remove the same, have been unsuccessful, and WHEREAS, after considering such report, photographs of the collapsed garage and comments from Town staff, NOW, THEREFORE, IT IS RESOLVED AND ORDERED, that the garage at the premises known as 972 Dryden Road (Town of Dryden Tax Parcel No. 56. -3 -8) owned by Donald Verbarg as shown by the latest tax rolls of the Town of Dryden is determined to be unsafe and dangerous, since it has completely collapsed • and cannot be used for any purpose, and it is further Page 13 of 20 TB 5 -I0 -07 ORDERED, that said garage shall be demolished and removed from the site in compliance with all applicable laws, rules, regulations and permits, including the Town of Dryden Unsafe Buildings Law, and it is further ORI) "RED, that notice pursuant to the Unsafe Buildings Law be. served upon Donald Verbarg, and it is further 0RDFERI }a, that a hearing on this demolition rcrn oval order shall be held before the Town Hoard on June 1.4, 007 - 231d Supv Trumbul] Roll Call vote ONINO OFFICER 1 Makar Yes Cl Christofferson Yes upv Trumbull Yes Cl telick Yes Cl Sumner Yes O Slater reported that he had uiterviewed both of the qualified vendors for famishings tar the new Town Hall. One vendor was very professional and had some very good ideas and the other wanted to make substitutions. After talking with Tompkins County Purchasing he has decided to work with Syracuse Offiop Environments- They will prepare a final list to review with. department heads and have a proposal for consideration at the June board meeting. Delivery of the product will be about six weeks from the date the order is placed- The company will assemble the product and any warranty or service issues Will be taken care of by them. With respect to the Tuttle house, ZO Slater reported that he and Cl Makar toured the house last week. We have a construction estimate from last fall to rebuild the house of abouf. $1.20,000. ff the house is demolished by the Town there is a cast of about $50 per ton plus the expense of asbestos abatement which has to be done by a licensed asbestos abatement provider- He reported that a couple of contractors offer $20,000 for the house and lot. When the sewer line was installed two connections were provided for potential lots at the site, He said the Town colAld keep one lot and sell the other, or keep both lots, but something needs i10 be decided about what to do %%qth the house- 0 Kwasnowski said that he has been doing a lot of analysis about what can fit on the land behind the Town Ball and how it can be laid out, and considering community input over the years, and in his opinion the lot that the Tuttle house site on is key, He said it is a very important lot for development of the land out back and circulation around the town hall, There is plenty of room for a drive with lawn on either side- Consensus of the board is that the Town should retain the real property- l Sumner reminded the board that there must be a plan for public purpose for Town owned property, J Bush said that after tallung with D Kwasnow lk i he also agreed the property should be retained. TO Slater said that if the house waig removed, stones from the foundation could be used in the rehabilitation of the barn, Any driveway on the property would have a minimal affect on the neighbors- After further discussion, the beard decided to let the house go Co the highest bidder with the condition that it be removeJr RESOLUTION 098 - SELL TUTTLE HOUSE C] Stelick offered the following resolution and asked for its adoption. Page 14 of20 TB 5 -10 -07 RESOLVED, that this Town Board let bids for the purchase and removal of the structure formerly known as the "Tuttle House", to be opened on a specific date. The stone foundation is not included. The Town reserves the right to accept or reject any or all bids. Bidders shall indicate their intended use of the structure. Preference will be given to bidders that will remove the structure by October 1, 2007. 2 °,' Cl Makar Roll Call Vote Cl Makar Yes Cl Christofferson Yes Supv Trumbull Yes Cl Stelick Yes Cl Sumner Yes ZO Slater will prepare the advertisement with the help of Atty Perkins. ENVIRONMENTAL PLANNER Dan Kwasnowski said the draft final of the Stormwater Law should be ready after the May 23 Special Committee meeting and they will send it out to everyone for review. Shortly after that they will do a public workshop to present it to the builders and anyone else who is interested. Next week the Planning Board will start interviewing consultants for the zoning work to begin the long process of implementing the land use changes recommended in the Comprehensive Plan. Three of the six applicants will be interviewed. Matt Starr of the Institute for the Application of Geospacial Technology has four interns this summer and one of them will be dedicated to Dryden. One of the ideas for a project is a web -based map specific to Dryden. Josh Bogdan, G1S intern, will be returning to work after his graduation to work until the current year funding runs out. The Town closed on the Parke -Dabes property last week and D Kwasnowski said Atty Perkins was key in resolving some tricky issues there. He said the general goals for the property as he understands them are outdoor recreation (hiking trails), woodlot management: (trying to recover some of the lost tax dollars), public access and education. The Conservation Board is interested in helping with development, of a plan for the property and the Board agrees that they should. Cl Sumner said that at least one member of the Conservation Board was not in favor of a woodlot. D Kwasnowski said that in doing the annual report for stormwater, he realized the Notice of Intent five years ago said there would be a newsletter. There may be some money left in the stormwater budget that could be utilized for the newsletter as long as there is a stormwater component in it:. Thoma Development has informed us there is a state grant opportunity for park land development. This is very competitive and the application is due June 29. Thoma's proposal is for $3,200. D Kwasnowski said if the municipality is already willing to spend some money on this, that: works in our favor and is an instant match. We have the natural and historical features that the State is looking for. The maximum award is $500,000. The need for parkland is well outlined in our Comprehensive Plan. We've done surveys and know what we need. K Elliott said the neighbors did not want any lights on the playing fields and Cl Stelick said there would not be. After further discussion, the Board authorized the Supervisor to accept the proposal. Page 15 of 20 T13' 5 -10 =07 RESOLUTION #99 - ACCEPT THOMA PROPOSAL Cl Christofferson offered the following resolution and asked for its adoption: RESOLVED, that this Town Board hereby authorizes the Town Supervisor to accept the proposal from Thoma Development to prepare a grant application for park land at a cost not to exceed $3,200. 2nd Supv Trumbull Roll Call Vote Cl Makar Yes Cl Christofferson Yes Supv Trumbull Yes Cl Stelick Yes Cl Sumner Yes D Kwasnowski, ZO Slater and Supv Trumbull attended the open house for RPM Ecosystems today and were very impressed with their work. Cl Sumner said a nursery on Peruville Road is selling RPM trees. M Robertson said that RPM told the Country before they voted on the IDA that they would not sell retail and compete with local merchants. Now they have ads on the radio and are distributing brochures about buying through their website. She said she doesn't have a problem with mail order sales, even locally if the purchaser is willing to pay the extra shipping expense. The website states that trees will be sold at their site every Saturday from now until the end of June. She doesn't believe that RPM should be competing with Plantsman and Agway who are selling their trees locally. The IDA will probably be sending RPM a letter regarding this. Cl Stelick wondered if this was only to clear out some older trees. "LO Slater said he had been told all along that there would be no on -site sales. TOWN CLERK B Hollenbeck asked the board to approve the April minutes. RESOLUTION #100 - APPROVE MINUTES Cl Makar offered the following resolution and asked for its adoption: RESOLVED, that this Town Board hereby approves the Town Board meeting minutes of April 12 and April 19, 2007. 2nd Cl Stelick Roll Call Vote DISCUSSION Cl Makar Yes Cl Christofferson Abstain Supv Trumbull Yes Cl Stelick Yes Cl Sumner Yes Personnel Committee - Cl Christofferson reported the Personnel Committee is continuing the review and revision of the personnel manual, though not as quickly as they had thought they would. Cl Sumner said she would provide other board members with the first section of the manual. Finance Committee - Cl Sumner reported they have discussed the Town Board audit process and established a procedure. They need to make appointments with the Town Clerk Page 16 of 20 T13 5 -10-07 Euid bookkeeper and thto senior Court Clerk. They hope to repo ri, on that in June, They are also making plans for the annual report and would like to have that ready W print in June. The Town Newsletter Lwas discussed and they wl]J put out an email about articles to be included_ Cl Sumner will prepare a template and banner. She is hoping to publish in August and November and said it probably won't be mailed the first few times, but distri buted where free papers are located. It will also be published on the website_ HUD Loan & Grants Committee - C1 Makar reported thvt Tompkins County Area Development (TOAD) oan give us a presentation on how we can get involvad and partner with T AD. They would cover who they are, Their economic development services, their economic development strategy for the County, the Empire Une and hoes- it works for the Town, potential management of the revolving loan fund (funds repaid from HQ1) loans) and the use of that fund for HUf) approved housing uses. They could come to the June meeting and Cl Makar suggested a 20 minute presentation_ Cl Stelick said we should know what their fee structure is_ CI Sumner said we need to know about converting the economic development funds to rehab funds_ Cl Makar said that is done through HUD in Buffalo and Martha Armstrong of T AD is talking to them unofficially on our behalf about that. Cl Makar wHl contact M Armstrong to sr:heduie a presentation_ Technology Committee - Cl Christofferson said the committee has lots of goals. They are currently working on getting the phone system For the new town hall set up, He is trying to put together a genera] RFP for telephone systems, and after reviewing it with the: committee will forward it to Atty Perkins for his review. There wiII be an option for connecting the old building to the new one_ RE80LUTION #101 - AUTHORIZE RFP FOR TELEPHONE SYSTEM Cl Christofferson offered the following resolution and asked for its adoption; RESOLV60, that this Town Board hereby authorizes the preparation of an RFP for telephone service for the new town hall, with an option for the old town hall building, and publication after it has been rewieweed by the Technology Committee, town staff, and the town arl'orney. ° 2 �Cl telr ick Roll Call Vote Cl Makar Yes Cl Christofferson Yes Supv Trumbu11 Ye& Cl Stelick Yes Cl siornner Ycs Recreation /youth/ Community Centers Committee - C1 Makar distributed a packet of information and applications he proposes to give to community centers to assist them in applying for funds for their centers and reviewed them with board members. He said the basic idea is to split the available funds ($26,000 total) as follows; $13,000 total for infrastructure assistance, and $12,000 ($3,000 For each center)_ He asked the board to revieuv the information. He is sending packets to the community associations for I.heir review also, On Jude 1 a final version will be sent to the Town 1Boi�rd and to Atty Perkins for review and at the June board meeting a resolution cmi be passed that designates this as the process_ CI Makar said that last month the board approved hour the centers could apply for the remaining funding for 2006. That is $4,250 per centrr, except that Ellis Hollow has $3,750 Page 17 of 20 TB 5 -10 -07 • because they had previously received $500. Ellis Hollow has submitted the information requested for the 2006 funding, and CI Makar asked the board to review and approve that. They would like to purchase a public address system that will directly impact the Ellis Hollow Fair as well as Music in the Hollow. RESOLUTION # 102 - APPROVE 2006 FUNDING REQUEST FOR ELLIS HOLLOW COMMUNITY CENTER Cl Makar offered the following resolution and asked for its adoption: RESOLVED, that this Town Board hereby approves the 2006 funding request for Ellis Hollow Community Center and the Supervisor is authorized to sign a contract for the same. 2nd Cl Stelick Roll Call Vote Cl Makar Yes Cl Christofferson Yes Supv Trumbull Yes Cl Stelick Yes CI Sumner Yes Supv Trumbull said the Town has received a bill for the Ellis Hollow Community Center for one tennis court roller and two roller replacements for $141.1.2, which Susan Lange has submitted for reimbursement. The board did not approve this saying it could be applied for out of their funding, and Cl Makar will contact them regarding it. . Cl Makar said there was a proposal from Thoma Development last year for a recreation study and it wasn't done because it wasn't in the budget. There is funding for it this year and he and Cl Stelick discussed asking Thoma for a current proposal. Cl Christofferson said there had been several studies already done. It doesn't make sense to do the same thing again. D Kwasnowski said this is for a plan and the survey is one component and Cl Sumner said that price may be negotiable because we have already done that part. This proposal is to synthesize all the studies done so far and move on with the information. D Kwasnowski will contact Thoma. M Robertson said she is concerned with developing a recreational facility next to the Town Hall when previous studies have indicated a disconnect between the two sides of Town and the people on the west side not knowing what is offered on cast side. She believes the survey is important and said that they were told that before anything was developed on the east side of town that a town -wide inventory and survey would be done. She said there is no investment in the west side of town, and D Kwasnowski reminded her that the Parke -Dabes property was just acquired. Cl Sumner said the proposal from Thoma will investigate this. M Robertson said she is concerned about where the town taxpayers' money is going. Cl Stelick said he understands there is a divide between the east and west sides of town and he doesn't want that, but it is going to take time to heal it. Supv Trumbull said he would act as the liason to the Court. Cl Sumner said she would lilce to discuss with him what the court liason would do. There is a proposed resolution with respect to long haul truck traffic on town roads. Atty Perkins has modified it slightly and it will be distributed prior to the next board meeting. Cl Sumner said she would like to have a few more questions answered regarding changing to the Municipal Electric & Gas Alliance. it will be discussed next month. Page 18 of 20 "1'li 5 -10 -07 • Cl Makar said he had contacted the fire departments and community associations about hosting town board meetings and he had heard from most: of them. The six that replied would be happy to host a meeting and give a tour of their facility. He distributed comments received from various people regarding rotating the location of the board meetings. He has prepared a proposed resolution that the July and September meetings be held at alternate locations. If this works, then other locations and dates can be scheduled for next year. Cl Christofferson said that he was really impressed with the meeting that was held at the Varna Fire Department, but it was held there for a specific topic. and really drew the people out. With a brand new building equipped with projectors and lots of room for people to attend, and the all the documentation and equipment in the town hall, he believes regular meetings should be held at the town hall. Special meetings for something important to a particular community should be held in the community. Boards he has been a part of and the Senate and Assembly have a meeting place where they hold their regularly scheduled meetings and go out to the communities when there is an issue that they want to get close to. He is in favor of having the meetings at the new gown hall, at least for a while to see how everything works. D Kwasnowski said the board could have open meetings where you don't necessarily make official decisions, but advertise being available for the public to voice any concerns, etc. Cl Makar said this is a way to bridge the divide month the board gets together to decide on things and organizations he has contacted are excited to have the and see their facilities. It is 25 minutes from Slatervill they want the board to come, they should try. in the are so board e Road town. This is the one time a far from so many people. The that makes these decisions come to the Tovvn Hall. He thinks if Cl Sumner said Cl Christofferson has a point. If you aren't meeting in the same place every month, it's hard for people to remember where it is. She said it would be a great idea to have a few extra meetings a month to go to those communities, but wondered if the board would want to give it that much more time. Cl Christofferson said he would be in favor of that, even if it was only to find out what the issues in the community are. Cl Makar said having the meetings outside the town hall doesn't diminish the value of the three million dollar town hall. it is built for the functions of staff, and it is nice for the board to have their four hours out of 30 days in that building. But it isn't there for the board, who is there for the people of the town. The town is big and there are people who won't come to the town board for anything until the board goes to them. Supv Trumbull said he was on the ground floor for the new town hall and has been through the whole process. He won't be running again, and he would like to settle into the new building for the last: four months. He suggested that: two board members every few months could go to different communities and see what the issues are. They can bring those issues back to the board. A hot button issue can of course be taken to the affected community. M Robertson said that at least one meeting can be done this summer somewhere else. Two board members could attend a regular meeting of the community associations. She said people will be curious to see the new town hall this year, and asked that in 2008 an effort be made to relocate a. meeting every three months or so. It shows the residents of the outlying communities that the board is interested in them. Cl Sumner said she believes it is hard for people who live near the Village of Dryden to realize how isolated the other side of town is. Page 19 of 20 CI Christofferson agreed there is an said if you look at the last few meetings the to hang out. They come for a specific reaso had issues. But it does show that you care important, TB 5- 10-07 issue and said there a lot of ways to get at it. He board has had, people don't come to a meeting just n. Tonight there was the media and people who to go to these locations, and the gesture is Cl Makar said that three times last week he talked to people who had an issue and asked them why they hadn't come to the town board or other town staff, and they didn't know that was an option or that the Town Board existed. Cl Stelick said the board needs a real physical working meeting. He said the board should reach out once this year for a meeting wherever there is the biggest facility and in the future a secondary meeting (not the work meeting) should be held out in the communities. The staff the board depends on needs the information and resources available at the town hall. B Hollenbeck said that some consideration needs to be given to a special permit application that might come along that may be controversial and draw a lot of neighbors and hold those meetings close to the location. Those applications, however, cannot always be predicted three months out, and that would be a problem. Consensus was that the board would hold one meeting this summer some place else and at least one other outreach meeting that is not a regular working meeting, probably in July, RESOLUTION #103 - APPROVE ABSTRACT #5 Cl Stelick offered the following resolution and asked for its adoption: RESOLVED, that this Town Board hereby approves Abstract #5, as audited, vouchers #295 to #394, totaling $669,449.67. 2nd Supv Trumbull Roll Call Vote Cl Makar Yes Cl Christofferson Yes Supv Trumbull Yes Cl Stelick Yes Cl Sumner Yes On motion made, seconded and unanimously carried, the meeting was adjourned at 1.2:20 am.
