Water and Swwer Crossings on Danby Road ^
Quotations for water and sewer crossing on the Danby Road were
received from Warren Brothers Roads Company of Syracuse. These
crossings are necessary for installing pipelines to accommodate
the new South Hill Water and Sewer Districts soon to be installed.
Since these are the contractors doing the paving for the State
on Danby Road at the present time it seemed feasible to award them
the contract for these installations and in this way prevent having
to make cuts in the new highway at a later date and presximably
at a greater expense. Proceeding this discussion, the following
resolution was duly passed.

Building Permits-Schedule of Fees
There was discussion regarding a change in the fees for issuing
Building Permits. Rather than the present price of $2.50 charged
for permits, it was the general opinion that fees should be based
on the estimated total cost of alterations or new construction *
in each case. A tentative schedule set up by the Board for
further consideration is as follows:
$1.00
$5,001.00
$50,001.00
$250,001.00
$5,000 = $ 5.00 fee
50,000 = $25.00 fee
250,000 = $50.00 fee
1 Million=$100.00 fee

School Crossing Guards at Northeast School
With problems that have arisen at different times regarding the
school crossing guards it was the opinion of the Board that it
might be more expedient to hire men for these posts. The Clerk
was authorized to contact persons who might serve capably in
these positions starting in September. Salary was also discussed
and to set the scale equally with other municipalities it was
decided $100.00 a month to be a Justifiable compensation for this
service.
INSURANCE- Clerk's Bond
Correspondence from the Boothroyd Insurance Agency indicated
that the Town Clerk's bond could be provided in whatever amount
approved by the Board and did not have to cover the total tax
warrant. After weighing the subject carefully it was the un
animous opinion of the Board to continue on the present coverage,
i.e. the Bond to cover the total warrant and thus give all concerned
maximum security.
INSURANCE- Electrical Equipment Owned by the Town
Boothroyd Insurance Agency, Inc. submitted a list of all electrical
equipment owned by the Town of Ithaca together with the cost to
Insure them against explosion, breakdown, burn out and business
interruption. A three year premium price of $6,711.00 was quoted
with an additional 3 year premium of $652.00 to provide total
replacement of any piece of equipment burned out or broken down-
making a total 3 year premium of $73363, It was the opinion of
the Board that electric motors under 50 H.P. did not warrant
coverage since it would be cheaper to replace them and since
all the motors listed with the exception of 2-50 H.P. were 10,
15 and 20 H.P., this coverage seemed to be a rather high premium.
It was tabled at this point.
RESOLUTION 5^ - APPOINTMENT- Deputy Supervisor
cVoted resolved that Councilman Joseph N, Mayer, Jr. be authorized
to serve as Deputy Supervisor in the absence of the Supervisor.

Vine Street- Ownership
Two residents from Vine Street appeared before the Town Board to
seek information regarding ownership of the street. They were
informed that the Town did not own it and could not accept it in
its present state. They were advised by the Board to seek legal
council and t^y to obtain a 50' right of way necessary for the
Town to accept it.
Proposed Snyder Hill Road Water District
A district contemplating being established in this area consists
of a tract of undeveloped land owned by a corporation and one
parcel occupied by a resident owner. The corporation is interested
for a district to be formed as it plans to subdivide the property
and construct and sell individual homes. It is not known at this
time if the one resident owner is interested in such a water
district. The proposed maximum cost of constructing this water
district as quoted by Lozier Engineers is $200,000.
Study of Northwest Water and Sewer Districts
Due to the high unit costs involved, the establishment of a
water and sewer district in the Northwest has been at a stand
still. The Town Planning Board under the direction of Chairman
Noel Desch has been reviewing the proposals and feel they have come
4-10-67
up with some new suggestions not previously considered that would
warrant further discussion with the Consulting Engineer in hasten
ing the formation of these districts.
Proposed Installation - East Ithaca Water District
The Town Board has been working with Lozier Engineers in
establishing the extension of a 10" watermain in Pine Tree and
Judd Palls Roads which will connect to an existing 6 inch main
in Pine Tree Road belonging to the East State Street Extension
Water District. The purpose is to provide a water supply for
domestic, commercial and fire protection to an area located
adjacent to Pine Tree and Judd Falls Roads. Due to the low
pressure in this area, water for fire protection is not avail
able. IGeorge Ideman owner of Ide*s Bowling on Judd Falls
Road is not able to get insurance because of this inadequacy.
Other properties involved are Artiflcal Breeders and Cornell
University who do not feel justified in participating in this
added assessment. Mr. James Dunlap, Lozier Engineer was
authorized by the Board to continue negotiating with all parties
concerned.
