Proposed Increases to Town of Ithaca Water Rates and Sewer Rents Effective January 1, 2015. Opened at 5:43 p.m. No one present wishing to address the Board and the hearing was closed. TB Resolution No. 2014 - 162: Increasing Sewer Rents in the Town of Ithaca Sewer Improvement Area and Increasing Water Rates Chargeable to Consumers of Water in the Town of Ithaca Whereas, the Town Board of the Town of Ithaca wishes to revise the sewer rent and water rate schedules for the Town of Ithaca Sewer Improvement Area and the Town of Ithaca Water Improvement Area; and Whereas, a public hearing, duly advertised and posted as required by law, was held at 215 North Tioga Street, Ithaca,New York on the 2nd day of October 2014, and the public was permitted an opportunity to be heard on the proposed increases; and Whereas, pursuant to the New York State Environmental Quality Review Act ("SEQRA") and its implementing regulations at 6 NYCRR Part 617, it has been determined by the Town Board that adoption of the proposed resolution is a Type II action because it constitutes "routine or continuing agency administration and management, not including new programs or major reordering of priorities that may affect the environment," and thus this action is not subject to review under SEQRA; Now, therefore,be it Resolved, that the Town Board of the Town of Ithaca hereby establishes and imposes the following: (1) Effective January 1, 2015 there is hereby imposed a sewer rent payable by all users connected to the Town-wide sewer system at a rate of $4.27 per 1,000 gallons of water consumed. (2) In addition, and notwithstanding the foregoing rate structure, there shall be a minimum base charge for regular quarterly bills sent on or after January 1, 2015 in the amount of $34.16, which minimum charge is based on 8,000 gallons of usage, regardless of whether that amount is actually used. (3) Multiple housing and mobile home parks of over two dwelling units, using a master water meter, will be computed as follows: The quarterly master water meter reading will be divided by the number of dwelling units and the sewer rent charge will be figured on this number as if the unit was individually metered. The sewer rent will then be multiplied by the number of units on the master water Pg. 3 meter and this will be the billing rendered and the amount payable. If the calculation of the water consumed per dwelling unit is less than the amount that would be permitted before exceeding the minimum sewer rent set forth above, then the billing will be calculated by multiplying the number of units served by the master water meter times the minimum sewer rent set forth above. (4) The charges set forth above shall be effective with respect to bills rendered on or after the effective dates set forth above, even if the measurement is for consumption prior to the above effective dates (i.e., any bill rendered on or after January 1, 2015, shall be calculated at the 2015 rate even if the sewer use occurred prior to January 1, 2015). (5) In the event a property is connected to public sewer, but is not connected to a water meter, the sewer rent shall be based upon estimated water consumption as reasonably determined by the Director of Public Works based upon recognized methods of estimating typical consumption for the type of facility involved (e.g., gallons per day per bedroom). Further Resolved, that the Town Board of the Town of Ithaca hereby establishes a water rate of $6.38 per 1,000 gallons of water consumed with the following water rate schedule: WATER RATE SCHEDULE Effective January 1, 2015 The rate charged for water consumption shall be $6.38 per 1,000 gallons of water consumed. The foregoing rate will be the rate charged for all regular quarterly bills sent on or after January 1, 2015. Actual or base consumption may occur prior to January 1, 2015. Notwithstanding the foregoing rates, the following minimum base charges shall be applicable to the meter size indicated below for regular quarterly bills issued on or after January 1, 2015. The table below also shows the amount of water consumption that is permitted before the minimum base charge would be exceeded: METER SIZE BASE MINIMUM (INCHES) CONSUMPTION CHARGE (in Gallons) 3/4 10,000 $ 63.80 1 30,000 $ 191.40 1-1/2 45,000 $ 287.10 2 90,000 $ 574.20 3 140,000 $ 893.20 4 200,000 $ 1,276.00 6 350,000 $ 2,233.00 Pg. 4 Multiple Housing and mobile home parks of over 2 dwelling units, using a master meter, will be computed as follows: The quarterly master meter reading will be divided by the number of dwelling units and the water charge will be figured on this number as if the unit was individually metered. The water charge will then be multiplied by the number of units on the master meter and this will be the billing rendered. If the calculation of the water consumed per dwelling unit is less than the allowable consumption for a three-quarter inch meter, then the billing will be calculated by multiplying the number of units on the master meter times the minimum charge for a three-quarter inch meter. The water application fee for each new application for water service shall be the charges for new water connections charged by the Southern Cayuga Lake Intermunicipal Water Commission including application fees, meter charges, service tap fees, inspection fees, accessory materials, installation costs, and any other fee or cost charged by the Southern Cayuga Lake Intermunicipal Water Commission for connecting new water services. An annual charge for each fire protection main serving a fire suppression system will be billed along with the first quarterly water bill of the calendar year. The annual charge for this service shall be $20.00 per diameter inch of the pipe supplying the fire suppression system or such other amount as is charged by the Southern Cayuga Lake Intermunicipal Water Commission for such systems. The pipe supplying the fire suppression system is the pipe needed to supply the fire suppression system, installed downstream of the system control valve. In addition to any other charges due to the Southern Cayuga Lake Intermunicipal Water Commission or the Town, there shall also be due to the Town a charge of$25 for disconnecting and a charge of$25 for reconnecting water service where water service has been disconnected pursuant to Town Code § 261-4 for failure to pay water rates or other charges. Moved: Rod Howe Seconded: Eric Levine Vote: Ayes—Howe, Levine, Leary, Engman, Goodman, DePaolo and Hunter Agenda Item 3 Discuss and consider approval of Elected Officials wages Mr. DePaolo had questions about the different salary lines because he calculated the increase at 1% but then some have exceeded the COLA and he didn't understand where that percentage came from. Mr. Engman explained that our policy has been that whatever our union staff gets our non-union staff and elected officials get. Ms. Drake also explained that some people's wage rise more than the base percentage because they hit their job rate. She also explained that there will be an extra pay cycle in 2015 and that artificially increases the budget lines for personnel services. Discussion followed focused on how the Board can approve a budget when we don't know the real numbers and Ms. Drake said that the budget line is the best guess until negotiations are concluded. Mr. Engman noted that the study on salaries and compensation that was recently done showed that we are ahead of other municipalities so the thought is to reign it in a little bit. Ms. Leary asked Ms. Drake what the CPI was and she responded 1.9%; Ms. Leary stated that we are giving raises at almost half the rate of inflation and she would like to see a 2% increase which is in line with the CPI. Pg. 5 TB Resolution No. 2014- 163 :Approval of 2015 Elected Officials Salaries Be it resolved, the governing Town Board of the Town of Ithaca does hereby approve the salaries proposed below for the elected officials for the year 2015; SUPERVISOR $ 36,616.32 (Paid Biweekly) (includes Supervisor's Administrative Function pay) DEPUTY TOWN SUPERVISOR $ 29,980.80 (Paid Biweekly) (includes Board Member pay) TOWN BOARD MEMBERS (5) $ 13,534.02 Each (Paid Biweekly) TOWN JUSTICES' (2) $ 22,472.37 Each (Paid Biweekly) ; And, be it further Resolved, the Town Clerk is hereby authorized and directed to publish the said salaries as required by Section 108 of the Town Law. Moved: Eric Levine Seconded: Bill Goodman Vote: Ayes—Levine, Goodman, Engman, Hunter, DePaolo, Howe and Leary Recording starts here: Agenda Item 4 Presentation of the 2015 Tentative Budget—Discussion Mr. Engman reviewed the budget process noting that the Budget Committee begins in February and Department Heads begin looking at their budgets in the spring and submit worksheets in July/August and work with Mr. Solvig, all the while the Budget Committee continues meeting and having in depth discussions regarding capital projects etc. This year we have finally started receiving the same amount of mortgage tax as we did in 2008 so for all those years, 2008-2014, we lost money through the mortgage tax and had to figure out other ways to cover our expenses. Sales tax has recovered and that has basically been saving us. The contributions to community organizations will total $324,414 and that is even with the cuts that he has proposed. Those are programs that the Town runs and is the primary responsibility of the Town, not some other body. The tax levy will go up 2.28%which does keep us under the property tax cap so if we want to stay under it and get whatever rebate there will be from the state that will get it to us. Mr. Engman went on to say that what all this means is that the typical property owner in the Town of Ithaca will see a decrease in their property tax bill of$4.20; however, the sewer and water rate will go up by $4.16 so it is essentially an even budget in terms of what it is going to cost our taxpayer. Pg. 6 He hoped that as the Board goes through the budget, that our criteria is one, is each item valuable to the Town of Ithaca—is our prime responsibility to run that program—are there other municipalities that are contributing or are we the only ones—and the big question is whether we want to stay under the tax cap because it is very close right now so if we increase somewhere we would have to decrease somewhere else in order to do that. Presentation Allen Green, Ithaca Youth Bureau (Attachment 1) Here to talk about the Town's contribution to the City's waterfront parks and recreation facilities. The Town has been a strong supporter of recreation for at least 20 years and in general we are talking about Stewart and Cass Parks. He reviewed the handout he provided which detailed the benefits of the parks and referenced a letter from Mayor Myrick who has asked that the Town continue their support at the current level while other avenues for support or investigated. Mr. Green, in giving the history of the start of the Memorandum of Understanding with the Town, noted that there were many meetings, a consultant was brought in and an ad hoc committee of the Town, City and County met for over a year and the outcome was that the County said we would love to help, but we can't and the Town stepped up and helped. That help was focused on the operations side of the parks not the infrastructure and maintenance which are extremely expensive. He added that the Town's contribution has remained relatively flat even though costs for the infrastructure and maintenance costs have increased year to year. Mr. Green stated he has begun talking about extending all City discounts to the Town which would equal about $38K in direct benefit to town residents and he reviewed some old data that showed 30% of park users are Town residents. The City has looked briefly at the idea of charging for parking or going to a resident based parking system but no one really wants to go that far and the hope is that the Town will continue its funding and meetings can take place between the Town, City, County and other municipalities to work on securing contributions more equitably. Questions from the board Ms. Hunter asked if we were to consider to try and work with the county or the city, how are we going to guarantee that that actually happens and Mr. Green responded that we have the letter from the Mayor and he has appointed a city manager who used to work for the county and has a good working relationship with them and the intent is to make this happen. Mr. Green stated that he couldn't guarantee that other municipalities or the county would contribute but he felt there was a commitment to have meetings and explore the possibilities so he was optimistic that we can at least have the conversation. Mr. Engman pointed to item 9 on the handout regarding pushing other municipalities and asked if Mr. Green knew why the County has not been pushed since the majority of the users are all County residents. Mr. Green thought the County has depended on the many State parks and referred back to the history where the County listened but ultimately said we can't help. Pg. 7 Mr. Green talked about the cost differential between non- City/Town residents while keeping others able to enjoy the parks too. Mr. DePaolo asked if he had any evidence that there are financial barriers to participation by Town residents right now and Mr. Green responded that by looking at scholarships you can get an idea and in non-recreation partnership programs, in the past 3 years we have given about $4,500 in 3 years in scholarships to approximately 80 Town residents per year. Mr. Goodman asked how they determined town participation and Mr. Green reviewed some numbers, mostly from 1980's- 1990's with a few from 2000 — 2013 rec partnership numbers which came to 30%. Pool passes 2012: 23% and Rink passes 48%. Mr. Engman thanked Mr. Green and turned the Board's attention to the tentative budget as a whole and asked how the Board wanted to proceed. The Board had a couple of questions: Budget Discussion Ms. Hunter turned to the General Fund and asked about the management programs at $5,000; A- 4 1430.429 Contractual. Ms. Drake responded that there are programs for management training being offered through TCOOG focusing on supervisory skills that we have been sending our management staff and mid-level supervisory staff to. Ms. Hunter asked if she anticipated the full amount being used this year so the estimated amount is incorrect and Ms. Drake responded that she expects most of the budgeted amount to be used. Ms. Hunter turned to page A5, the Town Hall Work Space Improvement at $l OOK and assumed that this is the renovations and she thought it was a quote for $115K. Mr. Engman responded that he thought we might be able to do some in-house so the number might be lower because of that. Ms. Hunter turned to Central Communications and stated that she has heard that we have phone issues and is this amount to address those or keep the status quo and Ms. Drake responded that she discussed the issues brought up at ERC with Lisa and some of those are programming issues and not infrastructure and the amount in the budget is to keep the status quo although she would love to a new system. Ms. Hunter stated that she vaguely recalled a quote from a few years ago in the $35k area and Mr. Engman added that at some point we are going to have to get a new system and Ms. Carrier-Titti wasn't ready to make any recommendations at this point because technology has changed so much since that older quote. Ms. Hunter turned to page A9, A7320.464 Youth Services Programs which she thought is the Youth Employment program and it is projected at $74K where it was budgeted at $28K. Mr. Engman explained that this is a reconfiguration of how the money is coming in and this is the appropriations side that doesn't include the revenue side which will include the Town of Caroline funds which will pass through. Ms. Hunter asked about Land Acquisition further down on the page and the reserve accounts are not reflected in the budget but she asked if we are setting aside money for land acquisition and Pg. 8 asked where that is. Mr. Engman responded that Mr. Solvig has put it in there, maybe under Parks,but affirmed that we are putting money aside. Ms. Hunter was satisfied with that answer. Ms. Hunter turned to pg A10 and Home and Community Services at $45K Consultant Services and Ms. Drake responded that she thought it was the intern covered under the NYSERDA grant sustainability plan which will be balanced by the Park Grant funds. Ms. Hunter turned to pg B3 and the Planning Study at $299K and Ms. Ritter responded that the $150 that had been budgeted a few years ago is in there and Mr. Solvig has also been using that line for other grants such as the Rte 96B study and other grants. Mr. DePaolo turned to the summary page on Al and the Boiler replacement and the Emergency Generator and asked Mr. Weber whether there have been any recent estimates done to back up these numbers. Mr. Weber responded that the boiler figure came from the study done by O'Brien and Greer and the generator is still based on information from suppliers based on the power needed. Mr. DePaolo asked if that meant the $50K from last year is to be combined with the $50K list year for the generator but we don't really know the bottom line yet and Mr. Weber responded yes. Mr. DePaolo also asked about the amount shown for our 1/3 match for the Forest Home Walkway and our logic for appropriating a match for a grant that hasn't been awarded yet and wondered if we could hold off on that until it is awarded or are we so confident the grant will be awarded that we need to raise taxes now to pay for it. Mr. Engman responded that he hasn't heard anything and it was put it so we can tell our funder that we have budgeted for it. Mr. DePaolo asked when a decision is likely to be made but Ms. Ritter and Mr. Engman did not have a timetable for it. Mr. DePaolo thought we should think about that a bit more because that is a sizable amount to tax for that we don't know will happen and in the interest of transparency. Mr. DePaolo turned to page 2 and referred to a discussion he had with Ms. Drake and looked at the accounting line, Personal Services—the 2015 amount is 5%higher than the 2014 amount and he asked her to break that down so he knew how much was attributable to the extra pay cycle and how much to the COLA increase. Ms. Drake responded that she is projecting that the extra pay cycle is roughly 4% and because of negotiations, this is best guess and when this extra pay cycle comes around it is a large chunk of money but is money that has been earned. Mr. Goodman responded that we will have to approve the actual wages but this is a best guess for budgeting. Mr. DePaolo turned to the contractual expenses and the projected numbers and Ms. Drake noted that those are basically year-to-date numbers and if comparing amount, one should use the 2014 budgeted and the 2015 budgeted amounts. Mr. DePaolo thought it was actually projected not year-to-date. He turned to the Buildings and Grounds, Equipment — Capital Outlay projected $45K and he asked what that was. Mr. Engman responded that this is furniture for Town Hall renovations. He thought that was a lot. Mr. Goodman turned to pg A2 under both Town Board Conferences and Mileage and Supervisors same and said that sometime earlier in the year we had talked about decreasing our Pg. 9 per diems when we go down to NYC and he didn't know if that was reflected in this line and he was interested in doing that. Mr. Engman thought it was but thought the reasoning was that attendees get breakfast and a reception one night so having 3 days instead of 4 makes sense. Discussion followed with Ms. Hunter asking if he meant the Orrick party and Mr. Engman responded yes, breakfasts are covered and the reception. Mr. DePaolo thought that the per diem is nickeling and diming on per diem but spending $45K on furniture and that seems ridiculous. Mr. Engman added that this is a special per diem for NYC and in the interest of transparency it should be accurate. Discussion followed with Mr. Engman stating that we could go to using receipts again and Mr. Goodman added that we are giving full days for Sunday and Wednesday and we aren't really there full days so taking one day is fair and Mr. DePaolo responded that he agrees as long as we can continue the conversation about other things that we don't really need in the budget that have a bit more impact to our taxpayers. Mr. Goodman turned to pg 10 under Stormwater Maintenance and the $100K which was about $2K two years ago, $78K in 2014 and now $100K. Mr. Weber responded that the description is on page 6 and this includes the materials for Stormwater that is not part of any road work projects and solely for Stormwater maintenance. Mr. Goodman asked Mr. Weber if he thought this was an accurate number and Mr. Weber responded that with the last couple of years of heavy rain events and the damage, we can't keep up with it and the prices just keep going up, so yes, he thought it was accurate both in the projected number and the budgeted number. Mr. Goodman turned to Contractual with road repairs and asked why it was split up 50150. Mr. Weber responded that we generally do that and there is another narrative from Mr. Solvig that explains some of the breakdown and descriptions on how NYS identifies different types of work and monies we get for them. Mr. Weber added that salt prices have gone up 19% from last year. Mr. Levine asked when the question regarding the $111 K for the City parks will be and Mr. Engman responded that after the public hearing those items will be discussed and he urged the Board to be ready with amendments if they are wanted. Mr. Howe was hoping the Board could come up with a concise list of items and amounts to discuss so that everything is on the table before voting on individual funds so nothing is missed and voting for an increase in one area and its effect on another is clear. Ms. Hunter asked if procedurally the Board needs to adopt the tentative budget as the preliminary budget because she did not want any inference that this is an approved budget. Ms. Terwilliger responded that the tentative budget automatically becomes the preliminary budget as a matter of process and that is indicated in the resolution setting the public hearing. She added that the tentative budget is the Supervisor's alone and not the full Board's at all and he could put an increase of millions in there but it means nothing until after the public hearing and the Board's discussion, changes and adoption. Accepting the tentative is not accepting the contents of the budget but merely moving it to the next step in the process. The title indicates who has authority over it; the tentative is the Supervisors authority and the preliminary is the full Board's authority and control.

Moved: Bill Goodman Seconded: Rod Howe Vote: Ayes - Goodman, Howe, Hunter, DePaolo, Levine, Leary and Engman Agenda Item 5 Consider setting a public hearing regarding a proposed local law entitled "Rescind Local Law 13 of 2014: A Local Law to Override the Tax Levy Limit Established in General Municipal Law §3-C" Discussion on whether this should be set now or after the public hearing on the budget. If we are going to stay under the cap, the local law will have to be rescinded. The Board decided that since there is time to set and hold the hearing later, the preference was to do that after the in- depth discussion of the budget.
