TB Resolution 2020-069: Noise Permit for LaTourelle Firelight Camps for Outdoor Events
with Music
. ЋЉЋЉΏЉЎΏЊЊ tŭ͵ Њ
Whereas the Town Board held a public hearing on May 11, 2020 regarding the noise permit
application for outdoor events at LaTourelle and Firelight Camps for the upcoming season and
discussed same, now therefore be it
Resolved that the Town Board grants a noise permit, in accordance with all applicable County and
State Regulations and requirements, for LaTourelle/Firelight Camps for the events listed as
submitted with the following
Findings:
1. The waiver from the requirements of Town Code Chapter 184 for the above music event is
necessary for a valid purpose, because music might not be able to conform at all times to the
requirements of Chapter 184, and LaTourelle/Firelight Camps
specifically allows for events/receptions, subject to or upon the issuance of any permits required
(Town Code §271-3B(e)(1),
2. The waiver is the minimal intrusion needed, because the amplification is needed to provide
dinner music to the area, and music is limited to no later than 10 p.m.; the entertainment is intended
to be and has proven to be unobtrusive given the location of the property, and
3. On balance, the need for and benefits of the waiver outweigh the needs and rights of the
surrounding neighbors to a peaceable and quiet environment, because the music is for a limited
amount of time on the specified dates.

5. Continued discussion on Gateway Trail
. ЋЉЋЉΏЉЎΏЊЊ tŭ͵ Џ
Mr. Thaete said this is a continuance of the discussion from the last meeting where the
recommendation from Fisher Associates regarding the box culvert. After that meeting, the
Engineering Department looked at the proposal after getting prices on the box culvert of $110K,
and the proposal is to install two side-by-side as a more cost-effect solution
and the pipes will work better on headway water than a box culver. He expects to have a resolution
for the June meeting.
Mr. DePaolo asked if this is not exactly ap
potentially be some headwater backup, but this is a cost effective compromise and mostly
functional?
Mr. Thaete said that is correct. He added that his department stands by our original analysis that
capacity with two pipes. It will flow the same flow as the box culvert but there might be some
restriction as opposed to a single open box culvert.
Mr. DePaolo asked if there is a way to predict that restriction and if so, will it affect the elevation
of the water being constricted on either side of it?
Mr. Thaete said it is dynamic; the existing flow through the existing box culvert is roughly 1.5 feet
will even rise that high because there is another release point
elevation there without having the release further down come in to play.
Mr. DePaolo asked how much money we saved versus the box culvert.
Mr. Thaete said installation of the pipes is about $10K and the installation of a box culvert is going
to be $100K. He added that the department got actual estimates from vendors, so these are not
guesses. The size and shipping requirements for box culverts are the major causes of the
significant cost difference.
There were no other questions and the Board was in favor of having Fisher Associates going ahead
with revising the plans and cost estimates for the 2 pipes.
Added item: Approval of MOU with Town of Ulysses for Code Enforcement
Mr. Howe explained that the Town of Ulysses is working to hire a Code Enforcement Officer and
time is of the essence in this and the MOU is still being finalized.
TB Resolution 2020 - 072: Authorization for the Town Supervisor to sign an MOU with
the Town of Ulysses for assistance with Code Enforcement duties and mentoring
Whereas the Town of Ulysses has an immediate vacancy for a Code Enforcement Officer, and
. ЋЉЋЉΏЉЎΏЊЊ tŭ͵ А
Whereas the Town of Ulysses has begun discussions with the Town of Ithaca to provide support
in the interim for conducting certain time-sensitive Code inspections during the vacancy and
some mentoring of the person they hire, and
Whereas the Director of Code Enforcement has been involved in these discussions and is in
agreement with the assistance being offered as described, and
Whereas the Memorandum of Understanding is in initial draft form before the Town of Ulysses
Board with the concept as described above, now therefore be it
Resolved, that the Town Board authorizes the Town Supervisor to enter into a Memorandum of
Understanding, subject to approval by the Attorney for the Town, for intermunicipal assistance
for Code Enforcement duties and mentoring during the Town of Ulysses vacancy and start of a
new Officer.

7. Consider extension of Personnel Policy COVID-19
Mr. Howe explained that this is an extension of the existing policy and recognizes that we are
bringing more people back but we continue to encourage those that can to work from home and
those with childcare issues may have to use Family Leave and other details from the last iteration.
Ms. Drake added that we are not sure when we are reopening, and this might be a good time to
discuss who makes that decision. The State made the decision that we had to close, but the County
is deciding which of their departments are reopening and when so is this a decision by the
Supervisor or the full Board or the Management Team.
Mr. Howe added that unlike the County, we are either opening Town Hall or we are not. He
suggested that if the Board is comfortable with it, leaving it up to the Management Team.
Management Team.
Ms. Drake responded yes, that is what she meant and the intent of her question.
Mr. DePaolo asked if this constitutes a delegation of authority from the Board to the Supervisor
and is that for the duration of this pandemic or just for this resolution? Does this resolution expire?
Ms. Drake said it does expire and she assumed we would know more by the June meeting; some
things will probably be changing but others such as Family Medical Leave will remain.
The Board agreed with the intent of the Supervisor deciding on the opening and changed the
th
effective date through June 8 which is the next Board meeting.

Whereas, the Town Board on March 30, 2020 approved of modified employment policies due to

compensation claims will be required to use paid leave accruals
Employees that are tested positive or quarantined will be paid in full without the use of
sick time for the length of the required absence; and
Employees that have any COVID-19 related symptoms or have been potentially exposed
to a person being tested for COVID-19 or a person who has received a positive test result
of COVID-19 are forbidden to enter a town facility or report to work (even if essential)
and must be tested for COVID-19, providing a negative test result before being able to

Total employees as of May 11, 2020 – 61
a)Vacanciesand Retirements
There were two unfunded Firefighters vacancies at the end of 2019.
There were 2 Firefighters and 1 Assistant Chief who retired in February and in
March.
There was 1 firefighter who separated from service in mid-March.
Page 2 of 7 - Fire Chief’s 2020 First Quarter Report May 11th, 2020
There will be 1 Firefighter who will be retiring in June, 1 Firefighter who will
be retiring in July, and 1 Assistant Fire Chief who will be retiring in August.
b) Hiring/Promotions
In March, 1Lieutenant was promoted to Assistant Chief to fill a vacancy
caused by the retirement of an Assistant Chief, and 1 Firefighter was
promoted to Lieutenant to fill the vacancy caused by the previous promotion.
There were 3 firefighters hired to February to fill 2 vacancies.
c) Firefighters on Extended Leave
There is 1 Firefighter who is on Injury Leave. It is unknown when he will
return to full duty. I have been notified that he will need surgical repair of an
injury.
There is 1 Firefighter who is on Injury Leave until mid-June.
nd
There is 1 Firefighter who is on Military Leave until June 2, 2020.
rd
d) There 3 Firefighters were furloughed on May 3, 2020.
2) Budget Report
th
a) A 2020 Budget: Budget Summary for January through March 30, is attached to
this memo.
b) Financial Impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the local economy is of great
concern for local officials. To address the deficits caused by reduced sales tax
revenues, the City has taken steps to contain costs and have made adjustments to
the City's 2020 Operating Budget. These adjustments reflect the Impact of 5.4
million dollars of anticipated lost revenue. There is a hiring freeze on existing
and future fire department vacancies, and 3 recruit firefighters have been
rd
furloughed as of May 3, 2020.
3) Operational Changes in Response to COVID-10 Pandemic:
a) Under the Mayor's directive, like all City buildings, fire stations are currently closed
to the public to help limit the spread of COVID-19. Though not taking visitors, each
station continues to be fully staffed with firefighters 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
Many members who were scheduled to be off have chosen to continue to work during
these times.
Page 3 of 7 - Fire Chief’s 2020 First Quarter Report May 11th, 2020
b) Firefighters are now working 24-hour shifts, to limit the amount of interaction
between groups and to keep everyone healthy and able to respond to true
emergencies.
c) Twice daily temperature checks on all firefighters on duty, as well as constant station
and equipment cleaning to compliment the hand washing and social distancing that all
have been practicing.
d) The Fire Prevention Bureau suspended inspections of existing occupancies and
extended operating permits for 6 months. While Code Enforcement activities have
been deemed by Governor Cuomo's Orders as essential work, the Fire Prevention
Bureau has limited its activities to new construction and fire protection system
inspections. Once the Southern Tier begins opening businesses in May, the Fire
Prevention Bureau will begin inspecting existing occupancies under modified
procedures that will permit inspections with social distancing and face coverings
being worn. We will also implement a self re-inspection program that will allow
businesses to inform us of abatements of violations with video or pictures of the
abated violations.
e) Emergency medical responses are limited to immediate life-threatening injuries or
conditions, serious calls that are ranked D, and E in the dispatch system. These
include chest pain, respiratory distress, and other life-threatening emergencies. The
fire department is not responding unless requested to assist the ambulance to any A,
B, or C, lower priority calls. These include general illnesses, flu-like symptoms or
simple transports. The local ambulance will still handle these calls alone.
All steps taken are to ensure compliance with new guidelines handed down by the
State Departmentof Health Bureau of EMS and are being enacted by counties across
New York. These steps will help limit firefighters' exposure and ration valuable
personal protective equipment (PPE).
4) Grants and Donations
a) In 2019, we received a FEMA AFG grant to replace the Diesel Exhaust Extraction
Systems in each of the four fire stations. The new systems will be installed in the
summer and fall of 2020.
5) Apparatus
a) One Staff Vehicle was purchased in 2019 and placed in service in April.
b) One Aerial Platform Truck was purchased in October of 2019 and will be
delivered in October of 2020
c) One Pumper Truck was purchased in January and will be delivered at theend of
2020.

Subject:Noise Permits for La Tourelle and Firelight Camps - 2020
Date:Thursday, April 16, 2020 12:11:40 PM
Paulette,
Thanks for reaching out on questions regarding our noise permits. We submitted these requests
prior to the pandemic dominating our lives, and we all understand that there will be restrictions on
gatherings as our state and county begins to get us back to a new normal.
Please pass on the note below to the Town Board, along with my thanks for continuing their work
during these challenging times.
Could you also please remind me of date and time of May meeting and instructions to participate?
Thanks so much for all of your help – Scott
Town Board,
Paulette told me there were a couple of questions at the last meeting about the noise permit
application for events at La Tourelle and Firelight Camps, allow me to add some
information/comments:
The Firelight weekly music - if you haven’t been to the site, this music is down the hill from the hotel
at the “lobby” tent of the campsite. This is 2-5 musicians with light amplification and is intended as a
pleasant way for campers to meet each other and for some local public/camper’s friends to meet
and mingle.
As to the virus, we of course will be adhering to any and all regulations and restrictions regarding
reopening and holding social gatherings that come from the County and State. Some of the dates
for functions listed may very well not happen due to the restrictions and/or as in the case of
weddings, the party deciding to postpone their event.
We hope to be able to have these functions and this application at this time is to meet the timeline
the Board needs to process it, but I fully understand this is not a permit to move forward with any
function outside of guidelines and regulations regarding the COVID- 19 virus.
I will be available at the May meeting via ZOOM to answer any additional questions.
Thank you for all you do for our Town……………………….Scott
