MEETING OF THE ITHACA TOWN BOARD
Monday, October 15, 2018
TB Resolution 2018- : Increasing Sewer Rents in the Town of Ithaca Sewer Improvement
Area Effective JanuarLI, 2019
Whereas, the Town Board of the Town of Ithaca wishes to revise the sewer rent
schedules for the Town of Ithaca Sewer 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 15th day of October 2018, and the public was
permitted an opportunity to be heard on the proposed increase; 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 11 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, 2019 there is hereby imposed a sewer rent payable by all
users connected to the Town-wide sewer system at a rate of $4.91 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, 2019
in the amount of $24.55, which minimum charge is based on 5,000 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
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.
1
(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, 2019, shall be calculated at the 2019 rate even if the sewer use
occurred prior to January 1 ,2019).
(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).

TB Resolution 2018- : Increasing Water Dates Chargeable to Consumers of Water in
the Town of Ithaca Effective,January 1, 2019
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, 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 I1 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 a water rate of
$7.59 per 1,000 gallons of water consumed with the following water rate schedule:
WATER..RATE SCHEDULE
Effective January 1,2019
The rate charged for water consumption shall be $7.59 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, 2019. Actual or base consumption may occur prior to January 1,
2019.
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 1,2019. 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 .5,000 $ 37.95
1 15,000 $ 1.13.85
1-1/2 22,500 $ 170.78
2 45,000 $ 341.55
3 70,000 $ 531.30
4 100,000 $ 759.00
3
6 175,000 $ 1,328.25
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$68.50
for disconnecting and a charge of $68.50 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.

FINANCE AND BUDGET - (607) 273-1721 FAX - (607) 273-1704
Date: October 12, 2018
Memo to: Bill Goodman,Town Supervisor, and Members of the Town Board
From: Michael T. Solvig, Finance Officer
Subject: Comparison of Ithaca Town Budget Expenditures, Assessed Evaluations, and Property Tax
Levies/Property Tax Rates for Fiscal Years 2012-2019.
At the Town Board Budget meeting on October 4, Board Member Rich De Paolo submitted the following
comment:
Our budgeted expenditures including capital projects have increased 37% in nine years (including
2019). That does not seem sustainable, given that our tax base has not expanded proportionally.
Since we rely on increasing assessments to meet the bulk of our revenue needs, we are simply
asking people to pay more to finance our spending, even though their ability to do so has not kept
pace. It would be helpful to try to understand what our projected budget will be for the next
several years in order to determine whether some of the staffing increases that are being
requested going forward are feasible.
On the attached spreadsheets, we took a closer look at the Ithaca Town Budgets for Fiscal Years 2012-
2019 to establish a historical basis as a first step in determining whether future budget growth on a similar
scale is sustainable. I have shown only the past eight years as opposed to the nine years Mr. De Paolo
looked at as the 2011 budget was not broken down the way we have done since 2012. On page 2, the
total budget expenditures are shown broken down by function, and then by class. Please note the totals
shown were also adjusted as follows:
- Capital projects to be financed with new long-term debt were subtracted from the totals as the debt
service payments for these projects will be included in future years operating budgets.
- Debt service totals were shown in both the debt service and interfund transfer lines, effectively
being counted twice. For this exercise, they were subtracted from the interfund transfer lines.
On the bottom of page 3 is a breakdown of employee benefits for the past eight years. Page 4 shows the
information for property tax levies, assessed valuations, property tax rates, and calculation of the Town
portion of the annual property tax bill for atypical property for the years 2012 -2019. Please note that the
amounts shown for the two Highway Funds in 2018 and 2019 were combined when calculating the
percentage increases to allow for a comparison to the single Highway Fund in the years prior to 2018.

PLANNING DEPARTMENT MEMORANDUM
TO: TOWN BOARD MEMBERS
FROM: MICHAEL SMITH, SENIOR PLANNER
DATE: SEPTEMBER 18, 2018
RE: ANNUAL AGRICULTURAL CONSERVATION EASEMENT INSPECTIONS
- LAUGHING GOAT FIBER FARM
- INDIAN CREEK FARM
Attached are copies of the completed Annual Monitoring &Inspection Reports for the Laughing
Goat Fiber Farm (Lisa & Gary Ferguson, Sheffield Road) and the Indian Creek Farm (Stephen
Cummins, Trumansburg Road). The Town's Policies and Procedures Manual for the Town of
Ithaca Agricultural Land Preservation Program and both easements require an annual inspection
to be completed by the Town, with the results reported to the Town Board. I conducted the site
inspection for Laughin�Goat Fiber Farm on September 7th
and the site visit for Indian Creek
Farm on September 14 and found both properties to be in compliance with the terms of the
easements. Along with the attached Annual Monitoring &Inspection Forms, there are several
photos of each property, and survey maps with notes added. I have also included the farm
brochure from Indian Creek Farm, since it easily shows where all of the crops are this year.
Copies of the reports were sent to both landowners. The Indian Creek Farm report was also
provided to NYS Department of Agriculture &Markets, as required by the easement.
Please contact me at 273-1747 or email me atci,,�townjt�jiaca.n�.tts if you have any
questions.
Eric.
