Review of Correspondence Meeting of the Ithaca Town Board Monday,March 24, 2014 at 4:30 p.m. Aurora Room, Town Hall Minutes Present: Herb Engman, Supervisor; Members—Bill Goodman, Tee-Ann Hunter, Rich DePaolo, Pat Leary, Eric Levine and Rod Howe Staff: Paulette Terwilliger, Susan Ritter, Jim Weber, Judy Drake and Mike Solvig Item 1 Call to Order Mr. Engman called the meeting to order at 4:33 p.m. Item 2 Review Draft Agenda for Regular Meeting There were no comments on the draft agenda Item 3 Initial Budget Discussion Mr. Engman started the discussion by reviewing what the Budget Committee found that when it did a 5-year projection last year, two main fund balances would be zero at the end of that period if we did not increase income or decrease spending. This year, the Budget Committee is starting to talk about and look at the Town's discretionary spending. Mr. Engman suggested that we look at the appropriations that we make to organizations which are not the primary responsibility of the Town; they are somebody else's responsibility and the Town has been giving them extra money over the past years and he explained that he means "extra money" because our residents already pay to these organizations through County, State or Federal taxes and/or fees for services but as we had extra money over the years we have given additional aid and it has added up to a significant amount of money that we are paying to other organizations. (Attachment #1) Mr. Engman brought the Boards attention to the spreadsheet prepared by Mr. Solvig detailing the discretionary spending we now have. He listed the ones he suggests should be cut 50% in 2015 and eliminated in 2016. He suggests we do them all at once so we cannot be accused of favoritism and he noted that he is bringing it up early to give those organizations as much notice as possible so they can prepare. The Budget Committee did recommend this plan. Ms. Leary asked about the Community Gardens and whether it was "ours" and Mr. Engman responded that it was and that was a direct benefit to Town residents. There is also the possibility of one on East Hill and that would come out of those same monies. Ms. Leary asked why it was on the list if it was "ours" and Mr. Engman responded that it is still discretionary and the other services still listed, Youth Services & Programs, are programs that were ours and transferred to outside management when Mamie retired. Mr. DePaolo added that at the last Joint Youth Commission meeting they were very aware of what we were contemplating but they didn't know the thought was phasing it out in two years. TB 3/24/2014 pg. 1 Ms. Hunter asked about the Cooperative Extension contract and if she was understanding correctly that the bulk of that was the Youth Employment initiative. Mr. Engman responded that they include the afterschool programs,programs at Overlook, and others and Mr. DePaolo added that Ms. Bannister is doing really well and the programs are well attended and good money spent. Ms. Hunter then asked about the City Parks contribution and whether our residents would lose our discount at the rink and pool. Mr. Levine stated that those discounts are only for the season passes and are not used a lot and in fact, Mr. Solvig had figured it out that we essentially are paying $1,000 per pass. The daily rates are the same for all JYC members so nothing extra for town residents. Discussion followed and Mr. Engman stated that his thought is to see what happens and then if we had that kind of money for discretionary spending, think what we could do with it for our residents; sidewalks,trails etc. The discussion turned to the history of the programs and how we started paying and basically it was when times were good,but we have been paying more than our share and subsidizing the smaller municipalities and the County's responsibility(s). Mr. Levine added that the Recreation Partnership is done differently and all municipalities contribute and it is done by a formula whereas in other cases, we just give and we should focus on those programs that benefit our residents. Mr. Engman asked if the Board supports his sending a letter warning the organizations of our plan. He thought if we started wavering we would have a lot of requests for appeals coming before the Board and we ought to send letters to the organizations that we are thinking about this. Ms. Hunter thought that we should look at our own discretionary expenditures also; she thought this was an understandable recommendation from Mr. Engman but hopefully this will start a conversation and some things will go to TCCOG because this County does not do a good enough for recreation. Mr. Engman emphasized that town residents already pay through county taxes and this is extra money that we pay where no other municipality does. Mr. DePaolo noted that we do not get money from the City for our Parks and Trails and plenty of City people probably use those so that sounds reasonable but he asked about the status of the fire contract because that is the real money. Mr. Goodman and Mr. Levine explained that they have been working on this and continue to look into every avenue we can including a fee schedule for the not-for-profits and ways to charge for EMS calls etc. There is also the possibility of closing some stations. The State does not make it easy because Towns cannot own a fire station and must contract for the service, although there is some legislation working its way through that might address some of the issues. Mr. Engman asked again if the Board approved him sending out letters to the groups listed and they responded that he should. TB 3/24/2014 pg. 2 Item 4 Joint Youth Commission Mr. Engman reported that the Town of Caroline and possibly the Town of Danby are looking at joining which brought up questions on the voting rights of the municipalities. Mr. DePaolo gave the background, noting that the County cut funding a few years ago in an effort to decentralize and now they are saying they are not going to provide staff support unless we consolidate so they are essentially looking for centralization without having to pay for it. As a result, Caroline has joined this year and there have been some proposed changes to the bylaws to articulate the changes and the proposed voting rights are: 3 for the Town of Ithaca, 2 from Lansing and 2 from Caroline and 2 at-large and 1 youth seat for a total of 10. Mr. DePaolo went on to say that if you look at the total amount of money over which this group has control though, we might not be adequately represented. Mr. DePaolo stated that Mr. Engman made the suggestion that one of the at-large seats be eliminated and transferred to the Town of Ithaca. Mr. DePaolo noted that there are disparities between the contributions made by Ithaca and the other municipalities and felt uncomfortable about the possible disadvantages of the seat allotments. That being said, there is a sense of camaraderie and a spirit of cooperation but there may be situations where there might be some disagreements about where the money is being spent and this Board needs to ratify any changes so he wanted to have a conversation before it came in for approval. Discussion followed and the Board supported transferring the one at-large person to us to protect our interests. Item 5 Discuss Lakeview Cemetery Mr. Engman reported that they owe about $2,000 in water and sewer which is partially a burst pipe and partially the caretaker not paying the bills and running off with the money. Last year's bill was re-levied onto the tax bill and we may not be able to do anything about that but this Board can approve forgiving this year's expenses. Discussion followed and the Board is open to forgiving the bill but would like to keep it on the books until November when we can reassess whether any of the money could be recouped. Penalties can be taken off now. It was noted that recent legislation allows a Town to give a gift to a cemetery because they realize if a Town is not allowed to help, they will just have to take it over anyway. Mr. Engman noted that we are helping them and offering in-kind services not just throwing cash at them. Item 6 Consider setting a public hearing regarding the Christopher Road Tank Replacement Water Improvement Project—Public Interest Order TB Resolution No. 2014- 045: Order Setting a Public Hearing Regarding a Proposed Water Improvement for the Town of Ithaca, Tompkins County, New York,pursuant to Article 12-C of the Town Law,to be known as the Town of Ithaca Christopher Circle Water Tank Water Improvement, and establishing the Town of Ithaca Christopher Circle Water Tank Water Improvement Area Present: Herb Engman, Bill Goodman, Tee-Ann Hunter, Pat Leary, Rod Howe, Rich DePaolo and Eric Levine Moved: Rod Howe Seconded: Tee-Ann Hunter TB 3/24/2014 pg. 3 Whereas, a map, plan and report, including an estimate of cost, have been duly prepared in such manner and in such detail as has heretofore been determined by the Town Board of the Town of Ithaca, Tompkins County, New York, relating to the establishment and construction, pursuant to Article 12-C of the Town Law, of water system improvements to be known and identified as the Town of Ithaca Christopher Circle Water Tank Water Improvement, (the "Improvement"), to provide such water Improvement to the present Town water system, such water system Improvement to be constructed and owned by the Town of Ithaca; to serve a benefitted area in said Town to be known as the Town of Ithaca Christopher Circle Water Tank Water Improvement Area(the "Water Improvement Area"); and Whereas, said map, plan and report, including estimate of cost, were prepared by a competent engineer, duly licensed by the State of New York and have been filed in the office of the Town Clerk of said Town, where the same are available during regular office hours for examination by any person or persons interested in the subject matter thereof, and Whereas, the area of said Town determined to be benefited by said Town of Ithaca Christopher Circle Water Tank Water Improvement Area consists of the entire area of said Town excepting therefrom the area contained within the Village of Cayuga Heights, and Whereas, the Improvement proposed in connection with the establishment of the Water Improvement Area consist of replacing an existing 500,000 gallon steel water tank with a 500,000 gallon steel glass-lined water tank on the same site located on Christopher Lane, pump improvements and other related ancillary facilities, at an initially determined maximum estimated cost to said Water Improvement Area of$850,000; and Whereas, said $850,000 maximum estimated cost, which is the cost of the project, shall be authorized to be financed, at the option of the Town, by temporary financing under use of available reserves or a bond anticipation note, and upon maturity of a bond anticipation note, the issuance of serial bonds with a maximum maturity not in excess of the forty (40) year period prescribed by the Local Finance Law, or directly by the issuance of such bonds; and Whereas, it is proposed that the cost of the aforesaid improvements shall be borne by the real property in said Water Improvement Area by assessing, levying upon and collecting from the several lots and parcels of land within such Water Improvement Area, outside of any village, which the Town Board shall determine and specify to be especially benefited by the improvements, an amount sufficient to pay the principal and interest on serial bonds and bond anticipation notes issued in anticipation of the issuance of serial bonds, as the same become due and payable; and Whereas, the aforesaid improvements have been determined to be a Type II Action pursuant to the regulations of the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation promulgated pursuant to the State Environmental Quality Review Act, the implementation of which as proposed, said regulation provides will not result in a significant adverse environmental effect; and TB 3/24/2014 pg. 4 Whereas, it is now desired to call a public hearing for the purpose of considering said map, plan and report, including estimate of cost, and the providing of the Improvement, and to hear all persons interested in the subject thereof concerning the same, all in accordance with the provisions of Section 209-q of the Town Law; Now, therefore, it is hereby ordered, by the Town Board of the Town of Ithaca, Tompkins County,New York, as follows: Section 1. A public hearing shall be held by Town Board of the Town of Ithaca, Tompkins County, New York, at the Town Hall, 215 North Tioga Street, in Ithaca,New York, in said Town, on the 7th day of April, 2014, at 5:30 o'clock P.M., Prevailing Time, to consider the aforesaid plan, report and map, including estimate of cost, and the question of providing the Improvement, and to hear all persons interested in the subject thereof concerning the same and to take such action thereon as is required by law.

The question of the adoption of the foregoing Order was duly put to a vote on roll call, which resulted as follows: Herb Engman, aye; Bill Goodman, aye; Tee-Ann Hunter, aye; Pat Leary, aye; Rod Howe, aye; Rich DePaolo, aye and Eric Levine, aye. The Order was thereupon declared duly adopted. Item 7 Discuss and consider Comprehensive Plan dGEIS public meeting/hearing Ms. Ritter explained that at a previous meeting the Board decided to have an informational meeting rather than a public hearing but in looking at the SEQR requirements (read), the key is the level of public interest which had already been expressed and she recommended that we hold a public hearing. Discussion followed and it was decided that it would be held on April 22°a at 6:30p.m. Mr. Goodman made the motion, Ms. Hunter seconded, unanimous. Item 8 Town Official's Reports Mr. Weber reported that the Sapsucker Woods water tank developed a hole due to an accumulation of ice on the inside of the tank which peeled the metal back into the tank. The hole was about the size of a baseball and has been repaired. With the extreme cold and the limited amount of water used from this tank, the ice accumulated around a tab and pulled that tab in which caused a hole. This tank is scheduled for replacement in 2015. Ms. Ritter reported that the revised Comprehensive Plan is posted on the website. TB 3/24/2014 pg. 5 Mr. Solvig reported that the bound 2014 Budgets are done and distributed. Ms. Drake reported that she is working on the Human Rights claim that was filed against us and our insurance company is covering us and they think it is defensible. What she found interesting is that even if we win the person can file a civil suit against us. She will keep the Board updated. Item 9 Report from Committees Budget Committee—Mr. Levine reported that the committee is meeting on Wednesday and Mr. Solvig sent out an agenda and materials. Last meeting they discussed the Town's voluntary contributions, the tax freeze from the Governor, living wage issues as far as contracting with outside agencies Codes and Ordinances Committee — Mr. Goodman reported that the last meeting was cancelled due to the storm but they would be continuing with the sign law revisions, outdoor burning and solar arrays. Planning Committee—Mr. DePaolo reported that the proposed development on Troy Road was discussed. It was a lively meeting with many residents present who talked about traffic concerns and the ratio of renters to owner-occupied housing and the associated concerns. The developer seems confident that he can legally restrict undergraduate students as a class because they are not a protected class, and he has been meeting with staff about his vision of this development and he prefers rentals, that is what his business model is. The developer will submit information on the restrictions he talked about. This lead to a discussion on how we as a town want to approach oversight of residency and occupancy issues which will be an ongoing discussion. The glamping (seasonal tent camping) proposal at LaTourelle is on the next agenda. Mr. Howe added that he has set a meeting for April 29th to talk about our Park and Trails System and how you can adopt them and also to recognize and thank some of those residents or community groups who have gone above and beyond in helping maintain our parks and trails. Personnel and Organization Committee — Mr. Goodman reported that the guest wifi policy was discussed and drafted language will be sent back to the board. They also talked about the wage survey and most are a little bit above market with a few that are a bit under. This information will be used during union negotiations in thinking about salaries and benefits. Ms. Drake added that they also talked about the health consortium potentially bringing out a medicare supplement plan and there would be decisions the Board would have to make around that and benefits to the Town's retirees in terms of the percentage we would pay. Public Works Committee — Mr. Engman reported that the committee talked about a proposed scoreboard for Valentino Field which would enable them to host better events because the league requires a scoreboard for the upper level events. The league would accept all costs and maintenance for the sign. The committee was in favor of them moving forward and working with Codes on safety requirements and any variances that may be needed. The scoreboard would be "old style" and not lit or electronic. TB 3/24/2014 pg. 6 The committee also talked about the Route 79 sewer relining project from the intersection and up beyond and the cost for getting the equipment there is huge and the idea is to spend a bit more money this year instead of spreading it out over 2 years which would cut down on the cost per foot because so much of the cost is in the mobilization and demobilization of the equipment. This will come up at the next meeting as an adjustment to the budget. Another proposal for 2015 is to buy a second dumptruck for water/sewer because the past few years, the second truck has been used for snow events and there have been a number of times when it was needed for watermain repair events and not available and having staff have to wait around on one truck to be filled and dumped and return is inefficient. The Public Works Committee recommends both proposals. The Committee also talked about a standardization of equipment for the compact loader as a Bobcat. We have over $150K worth of attachments that work with the Bobcat and one other piece of equipment and getting a brand other than Bobcat would render them useless. The Committee recommended moving forward with standardizing the Bobcat. The Committee also discussed an issue that has come up around Brandywine Drive and a drainage issue. There was a diversion purposely built into the drainage system to allow a small percentage of the runoff water to continue through some of the back yards for an aesthetic "babbling brook" effect. That diversion has now become over grown and not functioning properly and residents would like the Town to fix it. The option is to look at fixing it or remove the diversion and have all the water go through the existing pipe system which was made to handle all the water. The Committee will seek legal advice, but favors removing the diversion which would seem to be significantly cheaper than continuing an aesthetic feature. Records Management Advisory Board (RMAB) —Ms. Terwilliger reported that they did meet and she presented a demonstration of the shared services document scanning project called TSSER using Laserfiche. Most of our records are scanmed with some series still to be done, but the 3 major record series are done; Minutes of all Boards, Building Permits, and Zoning Board Appeals. She stated that given that project, the committee would probably not meet again this year unless someone has a specific issue or topic at which point she would call a meeting. Mr. Engman added that all of the cemetery documents are here and we are helping with organizing and archiving. Intermunicipal—Ms. Hunter reported that she has followed up with Deb Grantham from the IO and she will be making an appointment with Hillary Lambert to discuss Mr. Engman's concerns with the scope of the contract deliverables. Ms. Hunter suggested that that we simply call the State and see what they think and possible renegotiate the grant/contract conditions and deliverables. Mr. Engman reported that there was a great media conference coordinated by Joe Mareane from the County regarding the tax freeze issue. It was well attended and very well presented giving some pushback on the Governor blaming us and making towns and counties sound incompetent and pointing fingers and people are fed up. Apparently we are making some progress since both the Assembly and the Senate have put through some modifications, but the Governor is still trying to get some mileage out of this. Ms. Hunter noted that a lot of these representatives are TB 3/24/2014 pg. 7 not affected because NYC is boroughs which accounts for about 38% of the representatives and Mr. Engman added that this is a little different in that Long Island has towns, so the Governor is not able to use the usual block of NYC and Long Island to move things through. Mr. Engman reiterated what a fantastic job Mr. Mareane has done and noted that the weakest group seems to be our own Association of Towns which seems not to be in play at all.
