The Town is eligible for a $50,000 grant (with no cost-share required)from the New York State Energy Research and Development Authority (NYSERDA) under the Clean Energy Communities (CEC) program. The grant application is due June 10, 2018. The intent of the May 21 discussion is to discuss potential project ideas. A.resolution finalizing the selection of project(s) will be brought to the June 11 Town Board meeting. Grant applications are scored based on energy savings and greenhouse gas reductions; collaboration and knowledge transfer; innovation and replicability; and economic development. Projects must be started within six months of award notification and be completed within three years of contract execution. Project. ideas are presented below; some of these were brought up at the January 29 Town Board study session. LED streetlights:There is support to transition to LED street (lights, either by buying the streetlights from NYSEG and then converting to LED, or by switching to the N'YSEG LED lease option. However, we need additional information before we can make this decision, and the Town should be able to finance either option without grant funding. Municipal)facility upgrades:The Public Works addition could be designed and built to comply with the proposed Green Building Policy. Additionally (or alternatively), energy improvements could be made at the existing P'T'V facility and/or Town Hall. Solar PV:Two other municipalities have installed solar arrays on their facilities with CEC funds. Community Programs The City of Binghamton will offer"green grants" through a third party to both homes(20 x $5,000)and businesses (4 x$25,000). Ulysses may implement a small residential grant program to incentivize solar, heat pumps, insulation and air sealing.Tompkins County is funding a Business Energy Navigator position to enable/promote energy efficiency improvements. Electric or plug-in hybrid vehicle(s) and charging station:The grant could fund the entire cost of the vehicle(s) and charger for the Town fleet. There is an upcoming aggregate bid organized by NYS, as well as existing financial incentives, which would reduce costs. Planning,Projects:Although there is a focus on direct GHG reduction, NYSERDA has indicated that planning projects will be considered, especially as part of a "package" that also includes implementation projects.

Tile conservation easement requires that an annual compliance inspection be completed by the Town. I conducted this site inspection for the Raponi and Rich Road sites with a representative fi-orn Ithaca College on May 9"', and found both sites to be in compliance with the terms of the easement. It was noted that there were several new piles of yard waste that have been dumped along Rich Road within the easement, some extending into wetland Cell 6. Ithaca College will have these new piles removed. Attached are two photos of the yard waste that has been dumped at the Rich Road site. Please contact me at 273-1747 or email me at i usniiffiiLto%xn.ithacamy.LIS if you have any questions. Eric.
