answer a lot of questions when going over site plan review. Mr. Coogan was also
appointed to the Tompkins County Advisory Planning Council .
Mr. Coogan stated that the secretary that they thought they had for the Planning Board
meetings ran into trouble and Mr. Wertis has asked Mr. Coogan if he would be interested
in being the secretary. Mr. Coogan stated that he would at least consider doing it for the
meeting scheduled for this week. The secretary they are trying out has not presented any
transcription to-date so they really don' t know how she is going to work out.
Jason Haremza, Genesee/Finger Lakes Regional Planning Council (GFLRPC)
Mr. Coogan introduced Jason Haremza from the Genesee/Finger Lakes Regional
Planning Council who is going to speak to us about Local Laws for MS4.
Mr. Haremza introduced his colleague Brian Slack, who is also going to be working on
this project. Before he began, Jason asked if anyone had any questions in general about
Genesee/Finger Lakes Regional Planning Council . Mr. Haremza distributed pamphlets
describing the Council .
Mr. Haremza stated that almost a year ago this project began and they have been doing a
lot of work in house, sort of back ground work on this project and the project is called
"Local Laws to Protect Finger Lakes Water Quality", which we are terming "Local Laws
Project" for short. Essentially this is funded by the NYS Department of State — They
awarded a contract to do this project and the Department of State has funded three
watershed management plans, the water management plan for Conesus Lake,
Canandaigua Lake and Cayuga Lake. As part of the implementation process of these
watershed management plans the Department of State made this funding available to
review local laws relating to water quality and watershed protection. In each of those
three plans one of the recommendations was to review laws at the municipal level in
order to assess their status in how they related to water quality. That is sort of the project
in a nutshell . It involves municipalities in the watersheds of those three Finger Lakes .
There are 56 municipalities in total and all 56 are going to be going through phase one of
the project which is the assessment phase, sort of looking at the local laws already on the
books. There is a form that they filled out and are going to be talking to the
municipalities in order to see if they agree on what they filled out. Phase two is working
with 13 of those municipalities, which are being called selected municipalities, and the
Town of Ulysses is one of those selected municipalities . There are 3 on Conesus Lake, 3
on Canandaigua Lake and 7 in the Cayuga Lake watershed. Deb Grantham and the
Cayuga Lake Intermunicipal Organization selected the seven in the Cayuga Lake
watershed last summer. The seven she felt would benefit from this project and that they
would also be willing to work on this project. It is up to the municipality themselves to
determine if they are willing to work on this project or not. The council does not want to
force this on any Town. Some Towns have said thanks but no thanks and that is fine with
the Council . Deb Grantham is no longer with the Town of Dryden and is not sure about
her participation with the IO any longer. The Council is going around again in the
Cayuga Lake Watershed and trying to gauge interest from the seven towns identified in
the watersheds . The thirteen selected municipalities are part of phase two which is the in-
depth review of local laws, working collaboratively with the Towns to identify potential
gaps in their local laws or possibly new laws that they would like to adopt in order to
more fully protect the water quality in the Finger Lakes . The way that collaboration
works is sort of taking three main categories . In most of the Towns, the Council is
I
working directly with the Planning Boards and going to their monthly meetings and
taking twenty to thirty minutes of the agenda to work on this project. The second is with
a special committee that the Town Board or Planning Board could appoint just to work
on this project and then you would have evening sessions and sit down and work on this
project. The total amount of obligation is no more than six to seven meetings or work
sessions of an hour to an hour and a half at the most each. So far no town has chosen to
appoint a special committee. The third option is to work with municipal staff and this is
what is happening in some of the other Towns in Tompkins County.
In order to frame or organize thinking on this, the Council has prepared a six-page
document lying out twenty-five target issues related to water quality (handed out this
.m■

list) . Some of them may not be immediately apparent or applicable to any given Town.
They describe them in simple terms; the way they are important, how they can be
addressed and than how to implement ways to address them. This is sort of like a laundry
list given to the Planning Boards that the Council is working with. Then they can sort of
pick and choose from the list. The Council is not expecting any municipality to choose
all twenty-five to focus on. It seems that certain Towns are figuring out their priorities
and different municipalities are at different levels .
Mr. Haremza asked the Town to consider if they feel there is any benefit of participating
E with this project and would they like to continue. Mr. Haremza stated that he previously
• worked with Mr. Kennedy last year and reviewed the draft zoning for Ulysses that was
proposed and he would be interested to know if that was adopted. (He was told that it has
not been adopted as yet.) He would need to know how the Town would like to
participate, if they wish to, either by Town Board, Planning Board, Special Committee or
staff by mid-July.
Mr. Scott asked if Seneca Lake had anything similar to this project?
Mr. Haremza stated that at this point, not that he is aware of; these three lakes are
together in the GFLRPC project because their watershed plans were funded by the
Department of State, Seneca Lake was funded by DEC .
Mr. Austic asked that if the Town decides to do this is there a charge for this?
Mr. Haremza stated that the only obligation from the municipality standpoint is a time
commitment, either through the Planning Board or the different options he mentioned. It
is Department of State money.
Ms. Marino asked what the time frame would be for the six or so meetings?
Mr. Haremza stated through the summer until the end of the year.
Ms . Marino feels that through the summer may be a difficult time getting people up and
going and organized and was wondering how critical that time frame may be.
Mr. Haremza stated it would depend on how often the meetings occur. If it was decided
to wait until the fall to start than you may have to meet twice a month instead of the once
a month.
Ms. Marino asked if the Town was going to participate would the Town work with the
Council to set a time frame to work on this.
Mr. Haremza stated that the only schedule this project has is that the majority should be
wrapped up by December of 2004, within that the Council is very flexible. Each
municipality is starting off at different levels depending what they have on their books,
and how updated their zoning is, we are not expecting everyone to get to the same level at
the end of the game. The measure of the project ' s success is to be what sort of progress
has been made in that time.
Ms. Marino asked if the funding runs out in December 2004?
Mr. Haremza stated no, that they realize that municipal schedules are variable so they are
not expecting laws to be adopted and be on the books by December 2004 but sort of
looking at that as when the draft and background work and research should be done. Mr.
Haremza stated that they just don ' t want to dream up laws, they should look at laws that
Ulysses has and discuss with the Town things the Council thinks should be in place. This
should be a collaborative process .
Mr. Austic asked if the Council had any examples that other Towns in these groups with
similar situations to the Town of Ulysses like the stormwater population and that sort of
thing?

Regular Town Board Meeting 4
06/08/2004
Mr. Haremza stated that one of the things that they are putting together is a library of
model ordinances and language from different communities from around the state. One
of the examples you may want to look at is right across the lake and what is being done in
Lansing because they are an MS4 community as well and are very interested in the
explicit discharge language as part of the MS4 program.
Mr. Haremza stated that the Town might very well have more on their books already than
you realize because a lot of the issues are addressed through other regulations and zoning
ordinances.
Mr. Austic stated that part of the MS4 regulations requires that we will have to have
some law to address that area, so he feels we could go through the twenty-five examples
and pick out the things important to that area and start there.
Mr. Coogan stated that the Town has sort of done that when they filed the Notice of
" Intent for MS4 because a number of categories were checked off He also stated that the
IO has been working as a group, George Kennedy was a representative of the IO and the
last thing George said when he left is that the Town needs someone to replace him.
Mr. Austic stated that it might be the Town' s main concern to get something that we
could put into effect for the requirement of the NOI and then later may do other things for
other area of the Town.
Mr. Haremza stated that it would make sense to start there. The Towns in Tompkins
County are a little bit unique because none of the participating municipalities are MS4 ' s
so they do not have to worry about that yet, but Dryden, Caroline, Lansing and Ulysses
are all MS4 communities so that is something that is coinciding with this project in what
the Council hopes is a nice way.
Mr. Austic stated that we might want to concentrate on those two things .
Ms . Marino responded that the Board needs to talk about what should be worked on. Ms .
Marino asked if the next step would be to get back to the Council as to if the Town wants
to participate and what the focus would be for participation?
Mr. Ellis asked when the program began?
Mr. Haremza stated that the Council did introduction meetings this past fall, in October
and November introducing this project. He was here at Ulysses by invitation from Mr.
Kennedy and worked with George Frantz on the Zoning and offered review comments as
part of this project. In a sense Ulysses has already gotten some benefit from this project.
Mr. Ellis asked if the Council was working with planning boards and staff or just staff.
Mr. Haremza said that in Caroline, Dryden and Lansing he is working with staff only
because their planning board felt they had enough on their plates .
Mr. Ellis asked if he felt if the planning board is better than staff or vice versa?
Mr. Haremza said that he does not feel one is better than the other, but he will say that
working with staff, things can happen faster since they are in the office five days a week
and planning boards meet once a month, but not all communities have staff available.
Mr. Wilson stated that he thought Mr. Haremza mentioned that he has a draft of some
laws from similar municipalities, and if so could he furnish copies. Mr. Wilson asked if
the Council works with the County Planning. They do, with Kate Hacket and with
Sharon Anderson as well as the new person at the IO .
a Hearing no further questions for Mr. Haremza, the Board thanked him for coming.
Supervisor, Austic asked Judge Springer if she had anything to address.

Regular Town Board Meeting 5

Judge Christine Springer Addresses the Board
Judge Springer would like to address a new bench and when can they look forward to
having it? After ten years of saying they could have it — Can we have it — do we have the
money?
Mr. Austic stated that a grant was received from the Unified Court System of $ 10,000
and that was for the sound equipment and video . The question was at the time the
building was remodeled and built there was not enough money do remodel the courtroom
bench. The point is now we have had this money sitting here for three years and the
money will not cover infrastructure, the money is for recording and/or video equipment.
The question is what do we want to do and the Judge is right it has been years, since
1996 . Mr. Austic has asked several people if they would be interested designing
something that would work and we have not had anyone come in. The other day though,
Mr. Austic happened to be down at Ithaca Millwork and that is what they do . He asked
them if they would be interested in making a design and giving the Town an estimate.
They said they would but at this time they are very busy and will try to get to us in a
couple of weeks . At least we would have an idea of what it would look like and how
much it would cost.
Judge Springer stated that it just seems like the court system generates a lot of revenue
for the Town and it would seem like all this other stuff is happening and the Judges
would really love to have a new bench and they need the additional space. They are
working under difficulties in the limited space.
Mr. Austic is trying to work on it and it is possible in a couple of weeks we may have a
design and price and than we can go from there .
Mr. Weatherby stated that he remembers that at the time of construction for the Town
Hall it was discussed that a new bench would be built in the near future.
Mrs . Georgia will call Ithaca Millwork and see what ' s happening.
Judge Springer thanked the Board for listening to her and would hope that something can
be done, as this is long over due .
TOWN REPORTS
Highway Superintendent, James Meeker _
Highway Superintendent James Meeker was absent and Mrs . Georgia read his report as
follows :
• Sidewalk in Jacksonville finished
• Tire Collection a big success — over 1600 tires were collected and the highway
crew made 11 trips to dispose of them
• Helping Newfield with their tire collection disposal
• Cemeteries mowed before Memorial Day
• Mowing back roadsides for the 2nd time around
• Patching roads where needed
• Mr. Meeker is attending the Highway Superintendent School
Supervisor Austic stated that there are two trucks that need springs replaced which could
cost around $6000 to $7000 for the two trucks .
Code Enforcement Officer, Alex Rachun
Code Enforcement Officer Alex Rachun was absent and Mr. Austic read his report. He
also asked Mr. Austic to mention that he has budgeted for a person part-time to work
with him on zoning. This person would go out and spot junk cars etc . The person that
was doing this left the Town the first of this year. The money is still in the budget and
Regular Town Board Meeting 6
06/08/2004
Mr. Rachun would like to replace this person. He does have someone that has expressed
interest. The budget funds were 2 hours per week, but since we saved that for the first six
months of this year, we can increase the hours to 4 per week as Mr. Rachun requests with
no further expenditure. The Board will look at the number of hours needed for this
position again in December.
Mr. Ellis moved, seconded by Mr. Scott to approve that Mr. Rachun can appoint a person
to work with him in zoning for up to four hours per week.

Town Clerk, Marsha L. Georgia
Mrs . Georgia reported that $2619 . 00 was received in total fees and of that $466 was
turned over to the Supervisor with her monthly report and $ 1890 . was collected for
plumbing permits .
Town and County tax collection has come to a close and the warrant was turned over to
Tompkins County Budget and Finance with only 68 open tax bills .
Board Members and Committees
Ms . Marino stated that she received a call from John Wertis asking her to bring up Mr.
Coogan as being the secretary for the Planning Board for the next couple of meetings
while they find a permanent secretary. He also had a couple of questions that she could
not answer and they are - Does the Planning Board have an allotted budget? The
immediate reason Mr. Wertis is asking because he would like to look into signage to be
posted at the site when they are going to be subject of a public hearing. The Town of
Ithaca does this sort of thing.
Mr. Austic stated that they do and it is in the B Fund - $ 3000 for personal and $ 3500 for
contractual .
The Board had no problem with Mr. Coogan filling in as secretary for the Planning Board
for this meeting coming up and then the Board can reconsider it in July.
Ms . Marino asked about a flow chart that Mr. Coogan had been working on, for site plan
review requirements and time frames . Mr. Coogan will continue to work on this and
discuss it with Mr. Wertis and the Planning Board. Ms. Marino requested it be distributed
to the Town Board as well once he has worked through it with the Planning Board, as it
would be helpful for new Board members . There was talk about streamlining public
hearings that Mr. Coogan has spoken with Mr. Wilson about.
Ms . Marino stated that since Mr. Coogan takes such good notes it would be very helpful
if he could write a summary of what he learned when he attends training sessions such as
the mapping to give out to Planning Board and Town Board members, and also maybe he
even can give a ten minute talk to the Planning Board on how to use it.
Supervisor, Douglas Austic
Supervisor Austic reviewed his financial report that he had previously distributed. No
questions were heard.
Mr. Austic reported that he had a meeting with Supervisor Valentino of the Town of
Ithaca, the Town of Lansing and Sheriff Meskill about the Water Craft Law. It turns out
that the Town of Lansing changed their entire law to match Ulysses ' and the Town of
Regular Town Board Meeting 7
06/08/2004
Ithaca is going to do the same thing. They also had a discussion on what Sheriff Meskill
is going to do . Sheriff Meskill reported that he does not know what he can do — a lot of
time is spent on the lake now, four 10-hour days on the lake, Friday through Monday and
on holidays. He stated that what he may do is check the 100 ' zone, anyone within that
100 ' of the shore he is going to really concentrate on because that is probably where most
of the problems are that everyone is seeing. He will put out initial warnings and he will
ticket. Sheriff Meskill states that it will not take long before people start to realize they
should not do this stuff. Then later he will work on the different levels . Sheriff Meskill is
currently looking for equipment to make noise level measurements and distance from the
j shore measurements.
Mr. Austic also went to a meeting this morning with the Associations of Towns Attorney
discussing the different resolutions the Towns ' supported at the Annual Associations
Meeting that was held in New York City. The Attorney reported the State Legislation
session is not going extremely well and the leaders of both houses will not be bringing up
any of those resolutions at this session.
OLD BUSINESS
Water District #3 Progress Report
The final inspection in Water District #3 was done today and the engineers have noted
the following:
• Two (2) hydrants appear to be slightly out of plumb and two (2) hydrants whose
break-offs were 9 or 10 inches above finished grade. These hydrants were on the
backsides of ditches, and break-offs were in a position such that the nozzles were
up out of the ditch and accessible for fire crews . The engineers noted that these
be left alone.
• Flags were not installed on the hydrants . The contractor stated that these are on
order and the Town of Ithaca has volunteered to install them.
• Two locations still have fill piled. This will be followed up on with Dick Myers
• Several bare spots in lawn restoration. Dave Lewis of Myers Contracting said he .
would be going through the entire job and hitting all bare spots again with topsoil,
mulch and seed. He also has a local contractor on call to deal with any restoration
issues that might pop up later.
• The Water Storage Tank and Booster Pump have both been checked and look like
everything is okay.
• Discussed the schedule for project closeout. Any missing items become part of a
punch list and once the engineers have a punch list together they will issue the
Notice of Substantial Completion and recommend payment of 100% of the
Contract, less 2x the punch list.
• Last item is to have Myers Contracting get all of his extras together so that the
engineer can review and present them to Supervisor Austic and prepare one
change order for the July Board meeting.
Attorney Bruce Wilson is working with John Barney, Attorney for the Town of Ithaca on
turning over the Water Pump Station to the Town of Ithaca.
Mr. Weatherby moved, seconded by Mr. Scott the following resolution :
BE IT RESOLVED that the Town Board of the Town of Ulysses authorizes
Supervisor Austic to transfer title of the Pump Station on Woolf Lane to the Town of
Ithaca as agreed in the original contract.

Ms. Marino asked Mr. Coogan about working on flow charts of the time lines for the
Hazard Mitigation and Stormwater. She would like copies when he has them completed;
she finds this information very useful .
Ms . Marino asked what the status was with Mr. Wilson.
Mr. Wilson stated that the exchange of letters is like a contract. He started June 1st and
has hours on Tuesday and Thursday from 10 AM till 12 Noon.
NEW BUSINESS
Mr. Austic stated that the Board should discuss the proposal offered from Mr. Haremza
of Genesee / Finger Lakes Regional Council previously discussed and if the Board wants
to be involved in their plan or do we need more time to think about what we are going to
do .
Ms. Marino personally would strongly support going with their proposal . She thinks that
it gives the Town a lot of benefit for not very much commitment at all and it helps us
with the MS4 .
Mr. Weatherby asked, "What is the Towns benefit for putting our time into this?"
Mr. Austic stated that under the NOI that was sent to DEC the Town stated that they
would do certain things and one of those was to create laws for the MS4 district and they
could help us out with that.
Ms. Marino stated that also benefits the Town just to know if we could add things on our
books that would help protect the water quality of the lake.
We can review the list and pick out areas to start on.
Mr. Austic states that we probably don ' t need a formal resolution but a consensus of if
we want to go forward.
Mr. Ellis has no objection but who is going to work on this . Are we going to assign staff
or if we were going to have the Planning Board do it we would need to talk to the
Planning Board.
Ms. Marino volunteered to talk to the Planning Board at the meeting coming up on
Thursday to see their thoughts on this.
Mr. Austic stated that would be good but they would have to know that there would be a
commitment on it.
Ms . Marino also stated that there is the option of having a committee and that could be
made up of individuals from the Planning Board, Town Board etc . She personally knows
several people living in this Town that have expertise in this area and so perhaps we
could involve some of them.
The Board approved by consensus that the Town of Ulysses will participate in phase 2 of
the local laws project with GFLRPC , either through the Planning Board or a special
committee to be appointed later, and this will be communicated to Jason Haremza.
Planning Board Member
Supervisor Austic stated that the Board still needs to appoint another Planning Board
Member.
Mr. Ellis stated that he thinks he has an interview set for the 15th of June for he and Mr.
Weatherby to interview Gerry VanOrden, Elizabeth Thomas, and Don Schlather.

Mr. Austic reminded them that David Means is also still interested. Mr. Ellis will include
him in the interview .
Tabled until the July Meeting.
Zonin
Mr. Austic talked to George Frantz and gave him what was voted on at the May 27
Special Town Board meeting, and he is re-doing the ordinance based on the 400 ' frontage
in Al District. He also is having a person edit the document. He will work on SEQR and
feels that it could not be done before mid-July. Once we have the draft copy the Board
can go from there setting a date for a public hearing. The Board discussed the procedures,
but nothing could be specified until we knew when Mr. Frantz would have the draft
zoning ordinance ready for the Town.
Mrs. Georgia will email the latest version of the Draft Zoning Ordinance and the Land
Sub-Division Regulations to the Town Board and the Planning Board.
Water District #5
Supervisor Austic stated that the Map, Plan and Report for Water District #5 was
received last fall (2003) and presented to the Village Board (copies available if needed) .
The Town Board did a MOI with the Village stating that the Town of Ulysses would
form a district sometime within six months . Mr. Wilson stated that yes a Memorandum
of Understanding was done with the Village saying that we would create District 5 .
Mr. Austic stated that there might be another section to add into this map , plan and report
because the Village is here ; the waterline does not go up Penn. Ave.
Previously the church on Penn. Ave. and Maguire requested water, a price was given to
them and they gave it up as a bad thought . So it would not make a lot of sense to form a
water district and go around three parcels that are still in the middle of the new district.
So it is a possibility to maybe consider adding those parcels into the water district even
though at this point they may not be serviced with the water but may at some point would
be able to be. The Village has already paid the Town over $ 80,000 to add extra pumps at
the pumping station to increase their line to connect to the end of our line so they can
hook into the Town ' s system for a second source. The Village has an investment there,
so some day they are going to finish their investment, which means they will connect to
the Town water district. The most logical way and may be the only way, is to come up
Penn. Ave via Podunk Road.
What needs to happen is start the negotiations with the Village as to what are the Town ' s
obligations, what are the Villages obligations, what ' s the price, etc? Mr. Austic asked
who would like to do this — would it be the Boards pleasure to have the Supervisor and
Mr. Wilson negotiate with the Village and their Attorney and then bring the information
back to the Board?
Mr. Ellis asked if the Village was ready to talk? Mr. Austic stated that he would hope so .
The logical thing would be to start talking with the water commissioner and go from
there.
Mr. Weatherby moved, seconded by Mr. Scott the following :
BE IT RESOLVED that the Town Board of the Town of Ulysses authorizes that
the Town Supervisor Douglas Austic and Town Attorney Bruce Wilson start the
negotiations with the Village of Trumansburg to form District #5 .

Ms. Marino requested that the date be changed for the August Regular Town Board
Meeting scheduled for August 10, 2004 to August 17th, 2004 because she will be out of

Camp Barton
` Mr. Austic reported on the discussions with municipalities about what the Boy Scouts
might do with Camp Barton. One idea is that several municipalities might pool together
resources to use Camp Barton for more youth activities and programs . They have boats,
canoes, and other facilities . The Town is interested in talking to the Boy Scouts and
others about this, but we would need to know what the costs might be, and we would
need to check our insurance to see if Town residents can use the Camp in Town-
sponsored programs . The Boy Scout council will get back to us .
