CONTRACT WITH JOHNSON CONTROLS, INC. IMPLEMENTING
SITCH PROJECT
Supv Su inner opened both puhlie hearings at 6;45 p, m. Comments and questions with
respeel, to the Stuttle matter were addressed first. Cl Makar asked whether there was an
update with respect to when funds Tnight be expected from New York State. Supv Sumner saicj
there: had bean a. modestly optLmistic update from them-
Stacy Black, representing the I B E W 1xcal 24 1 in Ithaca, addressed the board with
respect to the Johnson Controls project. He said they are in favor of the project and think it is
3 great investment in our future to improve the infrastructure we have. He wanted to make the
board aware of seome- experiences he has had. In 2009 L:in%ing School District signed an
agreement with Johnson Controls for a similar enor y improvement project_ Johnsen Controls
hired another company (ES CO from Massachusetts) to do lighting upgrades. They in turn
hired another company as subcontractors_ During the project the subcontrar%tor was found to
have defrauded their workers by not paying them prevailing wage, did not pay them overtime,
and didn't offer dispensation records to the N YS Department of Labor. They didn't inake the
state; aware that their. was a project going on there_ This put the school district in x bad spot
with Department of Labor. Charges were filed against the su bcon tnac tor and they were found
guilty ofimuldple wage and hour violations and are not allowed to do any prevailing wage work
L
n New York for the next five years. They had to gay back $56.900 in wages and $17,000 in
penalties_ EC SO removed that, au b con tracto r from the_ pmject and hired another that was also
found guilty of dispensation violations.
S Black cautioned that bringing in subs of subs dotty rout produce a toe sponsible
environment and left documents for the board to revic w, He said they wan to see the Johnson
Controls pmject move formvard and urged the board to seek repaCable contractors.
0 Supv Sumner asked whether lie was aware of other problems with Johnson Control_
Black said not recently lcxgully, but he has heard of similar issues in other parts of state_
Pagt I OF I I
-1-13 11-30-10
0 dike Talarski, businet5 s manager for Local 231, said he al no supports the project and
believes that skillctd local workers should be employed thetre- Currently 2 5% of the electricians
in 'Tompkins County are out of work- 'There is no need far out of town workers Whr;n weL have
skilled craftsman locally.
Swpv Sumner said the Johnson Controls he2.ring would he left open until 7:00 p.m.
Witb respect to the Stuttle matter, Sup%r Sumner asked D Kwasno Ski if tl7rr. was any
information on the state reimbursement sched-utc-. 0 Kwasnow%ki read a letter from
ammi�Sioni;r Hooker of NYS Department of Agriculture & Markets. It said that spending has.
been reduced for almost every program that Elie Eleparlxnrnl: administers- The letter contains a
plan for disbursement of tnenies for implementation of projects on a first approved, first
disbursed basis,
The tuttlr, projGs;t i!5 an irnplGrrncntation project and is somewhere around #CFO on the
list. D Kwasnowski said as bad as it has gotten, the monies are being paid out. The
Department has always had funding in the budget for this, Supv Sumner said they are not
ignoring the program. They are still funding it and are still aggressively seeking funding. She
does not believe the state will default on its obligation under this contract with the Stuttles.
Supv Sumner said the question is whether to go ahead and close with the StUttles in
December or possibly abandon project. D Kwasnowski said if it doesn't close this year, they
may have to renegotiates price- Supv urnncr %:yid the board should consider whether the town
would pay for this if there was no state reimbursement- D Kwasnowgki said in that (NO sc, they
may nat include some of the property ia nd SUpv Sumner added the Town may use a payment
plan instand of Tmying in one lump sum,
C ] . ick asked whether the talwai's position on the project hail will ehange if the town
fronts the money. D Kwasnowski and Supv Sumner said the letter states that project will be
paid can ;� First approved, first paid basis.
There }were, no further comments on the Johnson Con t'rot% matter, a»d the public
hcaring was closed at 7:04 p.m-
Cl Stelick said it seems the town is on the hook. for the whole ball of wax- He believes it
is a worthwhile project but this is a lot of money- The "Town is in good financial shape right;
now, and lie believes the state will everktually pay but, he fears the town will drop down on the
list if we pay up front.
Supv Sumner said in the land use survey r(._ %idents indicated preserving farmland is
important and is worth paying for. The town has kept the Stutdc:s on the hook for three yoana -
Dan Kwasnowski said there is nothing unusual abo -L)t the timeline,
Cl Stelick said the Co n is committing taxpsyer money while waiting for the state. This
is unprecedentcd-
D Kwasnowski q.11id the
town
should do ii:
because it is what
ii: wants
to do, regardless
OIL hether the state will repay.
It is
unlikely I.hat
the
state will
deTqult
on its
co inmitrneni :.
The Stuttle public. h(};3ring was closed e :LC 7: 1.0 p,m,
The Town's Planning I)c_pt will handle enforcement of the easement with the County's
help- D Kwasnowski t5aid there is a huge: baseluie report for the project that: will be used in the,
mo1)itoring prone- %s s
. The Town will vi the property and inspect it once per year, Them is a
gas lease on thr property but there is language Lhat addresses it in the easement. The
f'.igc 2 uF
•rig i i -tio -�o
landowner is ultimately responsible for making sure the gas corn pany puts Ch land hack if
there is drilling. The language in the contract was negotiated with the gas company and was
acceptable to Ag and Markets. The Easernent must be monitored by the town and recorded in
reports.
There
are taro other
farms
in the town in
the program, and more land iN ovdilable for the
program, 103
important to
keep all
of the farms
healthy =.
1 Steliek a.slced whether
the town could
end up
in the
same situation (fronting the
moneyl with the other farms slid
D K asnowski
said ii:
is not
likely-
C1 Makar said after reviewing the resolution, it brings him to the simple statement of
"No farms, no food"- This is a goad use of towrl money, and there is the benefit of being repaid
by the state in the future.
