Monthly Reports:
Charles Rankin, Bookkeeper - Submitted monthly reports for the Board's review and requested Budget
Transfers.
W. Rick Fritz, Code/Fire Enforcement Officer - In January we sent out 39 letters for permits, asking to
update the Code Office and close old permits. We've been working on that and it has been successful.
April has been working on the website so people can contact us for appointments. They can also call me
Town Board Minutes Page 8 January 12, 2016
on my cell phone. Life Safety Inspection letters will be going out so I can do those inspections. The
McLean Fire Department, we've never gotten everything we need to sign off on that, so we have a
meeting tomorrow at 10 o'clock if anyone wants to join me. We're going to go over what we have and
don't have, so we can get them on their way.
Richard C. Case, Jr, Highway Superintendent - 2015 was a productive year for the Highway
Department. All the paving projects went very well and have already shown with the plowing program to
be more efficient. The drainage and pipe installation has gone non-stop right up until last Friday and you
know that doesn't happen every year. Trees are now being cut when weather allows. The shop has very
busy in 2015. I'd like to commend you folks. The work is being accomplished because you have
employed some very devoted and skilled employees. Secondly, municipal cooperation, little do you see
probably, but it's alive and doing well. The Village of Groton and the Town of Groton change equipment
and personnel almost on a minute basis if need be. But also, the Town of Caroline, Summerhill, Locke,
Cortlandville and Dryden have shared equipment and manpower, which, none of these municipalities
would be able to afford in their budgets. That's happening and I hope that's to your satisfaction. The
new truck is at Stadium International and scheduled to have the plow equipment and dump body installed
next week. I'm in hopes of taking delivery within the next three weeks.
The truck will need to be paid out of the 2016 budget, so Mr. Case requested an encumbrance of the
money that had been in the 2015 budget to pay for the truck, and an additional encumbrance of $4,000.00
needed to finalize the purchase from the DA5148.4 account, as well as other resolutions. Mr. Rankin had
also requested budget transfers.

Glenn Morey, County Legislator - Last Tuesday, Mike Lane was elected as Chair and Dan Kline was
elected as Vice Chair. The committees I've been serving on are Governments and Operations, Facilities
and Infrastructure, and the Budget Committee. Everybody should have their rebate check from New
York State in Groton and we have to thank Joe Mareane. If you remember, a couple months ago, Joe
took it upon himself to write to the State because the rebate was based on the money we saved on
consolidation. Joe wrote a report on behalf of all of the municipalities in Tompkins County based on the
Health Consortium. That was turned down, but with his determination he went back to the State to fine
tune the report and also combine the study to consolidate the Sheriffs Department and City of Ithaca
Police Department and the State finally approved it.
Privilege of the Floor - No one wished to speak.
