1. Introduction and Update--Luis Aguirre-Torres, City of Ithaca, Director of
Sustainability (Attachment 1)
Mr. Aguirre-Torres gave a brief introduction about himself and his experience, followed by a
presentation and highlights of his work with Mr. Goldsmith and taking over the lead for the
City's Green New Deal.
His main objective is making the Green New Deal (GND) a people-focused program and
comprehensive approach to the objectives of the GND.
His focus is to encourage public and private participation in reaching net zero emissions by 2030
and get a proper community-wide greenhouse gas emissions inventory.
A new strategy is to look at past strategies as market failures and deploy economic, institutional
and regulatory instruments to turn that to success.
Mr. Aguirre-Torres caught everyone's attention when he stated that the endeavor will cost about
$2B with$1.2B just to do retrofitting and electrification of the building stock.
He talked about defining Climate Justice and looking at everything that makes life in America
difficult; income levels, education, financial inclusion, to name a few.
Mr. Aguirre-Torres said last week, they were able to partner with Cornell to form a Finger Lakes
Energy Compact to focus the power of local government which when done together will help
going after large funding sources.
The City may provide some loan guarantees to reduce financial risk and may rely on innovative
stop-loss insurance to transfer that risk with a focus on low/middle income communities and
crowd funding to cover interest costs and other innovative ways to address the income hurdles to
reach the goals of the GND.
TB 2021-06-28 Pg. 1
Board Comments
Mr. Goodman asked if the $2B was just for the city and Mr. Aguirre-Torres responded that it
was.
Mr. Goodman asked about the financing risk shown as 80/20 risk and Mr. Aguirre-Torres that
doing this in scale or bulk saves more in the long term and to do that you need a group that will
take that risk and come up with the up-front capital and the municipality purchases stop/Loss
insurance to reduce the risk. The default create is at about 3% so the municipality is on the hook
for about$1 M with the insurance for a $100M program.
Mr. Howe commented that we do have to start thinking outside the box if we want to reach the
goals of the GND.
Mr. DePaolo asked about the 1,000 things to achieve and he assumes that is in the private sector,
and how would that be tracked.
Mr. Aguirre-Torres said the idea is to promote electric vehicles and bring about 300 electric
mopeds and leasing of batteries to retrofit electric vehicles that are past their life cycle and install
the leased batteries in the chassis of existing vehicles and help with financing of that program.
Mr. Aguirre-Torres stated he will send the presentation slides out and the idea is to not only
continue but increase the collaboration and do this together.
Ms. Hunter asked if the committees that are being formed would be open to the public.
Mr. Aguirre-Torres responded that they hadn't thought about that, but they are talking to two
local papers for bi-weekly progress reports to keep the public informed.
Mr. Howe thanked him and stated that the Town will be interested in learning more.
2. Public Hearings:
Mr. Howe opened the public hearing regarding the RaNic July 2nd event and clarified that the
ongoing music series is postponed until the July 12th meeting.
He stated that we have received a lot of emails about the event that seem split in favor/opposed.
Linda Woodard, Mayor VCH, said that she received a lot of comments that were
overwhelmingly against the music series more than a one-time fireworks event although they are
concerned about parking and crowd control issues.
TB 2021-06-28 Pg. 2
She is especially concerned with Pleasant Grove and ingress and egress for the fire station and
crowd control and traffic.
Bruce Levitt, Hanshaw Rd spoke against the fireworks saying they have endured these events
over the years and they are unbearable at his house.
He said he did not receive a notice from the town but heard about it and thought the notification
has been lacking for years. He invited anyone to sit at his house and endure the fireworks. It is
very noise intrusive and true for his neighbors.
He stated that this is a residential neighborhood, not like Stewart Park. The noise and the traffic
is horrible and the outdoor music is also unbearable. The length of time is unbearable and
intrusive for the length of time both fireworks or outdoor music lasts.
Mr. Howe asked Mr. Moseley to address the authority over fireworks.
Mr. Moseley stated that fireworks are just an administrative review and that is why notification is
not sent.
Mr. Levitt responded that if it is an administrative review it should be denied and the music
denied because it is intrusive.
Jens Ohlin, Pleasant Grove Rd, addressed the board saying he is across the street and opposed to
this permit. The noise travels extremely far and very clearly; surprisingly so. He said he can
hear golfers on the green speaking in a regular tone of voice so when there is music or fireworks,
it is astronomical and the fireworks sound like bombs going off. It is an overwhelming sound.
He said he is also worried about the traffic and crown and whether the infrastructure can handle
it.
He though the noise has become worse since the new owners removed some trees.
Leslie Strebel stated that she had sent in comments in support and the golf course is in her
backyard and while she appreciates her neighbors concerns and comments, when you move into
a neighborhood like this and a catering facility that has been there for years and held functions,
you have to anticipate some of these instances. It is part of the deal of having them as neighbors
and she is in favor of having them continue as good neighbors.
She said the time frame and duration is reasonable and there have been fireworks for Cornell
events and music and she can't see cutting them off at the knees by restricting them in this way.
Carl Franck, Roat St, stated that he appreciates the comments of the closer neighbors, and he
hopes the Club will listen,but Ms. Strebel hit the nail on the head in that they are a good
neighbor, allowing us to use their property for walks and dog walking and he is hoping to attend
and listen to some music. It is a matter of life for us to hear their machinery and noise associated
with the type of business, but he would like to keep them as good neighbors.
TB 2021-06-28 Pg. 3
Sean Whittaker, new owner of the County Club, spoke and said the property has been failing for
many years and this is a last effort to keep it functioning. Over the years we have lost major
business partners and we are trying to open it up to the community to fill that support.
To make it viable, we have to change and realistically, if we did not acquire the property when
we did, it would be a hay field attracting development proposals and not the wonderful scenic,
open property it is today.
He said if he was a neighbor, he would be concerned about keeping it a golf course rather than
some student housing or other development that could be much more intrusive.
Mr. Whittaker said the fireworks will be small in scope and he will look into the tree removal,
but most tree removal was dead or diseased trees.
He added that he would like to open it up for other seasonal pursuits such as cross-country
skiing,but it has to stay viable.
Mr. Albrecht, Roat St., spoke in favor of the comments from Mr. Whittaker and said he and his
neighbors that he interacts with are hungry for more social, walkable activities that give more
opportunities to socialize with your neighbors.
He said he understands this is a tough position,but they are excited to have the opportunities that
have been outlined and feels the Club is a real asset to the community and appreciates Mr.
Whittaker's approach and how community minded and supportive he has been in his other
endeavors.
He closed saying that the Club is a much more attractive use than some others that could come.
Scott Jahnke, Roat St., said we never really knew when fireworks were going off in the past and
his kids would run out trying to see them, and there really isn't anything in the community now
to allow for social mingling other than the Peace Festival at St. Catherine's, so having more
community events allowing to get to know your neighbors is priceless and he is supportive of
both applications.
Vickie Taylor Brous, Applicant/Agent spoke and gave a brief history of her experience in event
planning and some of the precautions she has planned. She noted that she started the Peace
Festival and the goal is to bring vitality and inclusivity to this neighborhood and bring the
formerly "unattainable"participation to the community.
She said she has experience in handling parking, having managed the first Stewart Park
fireworks display and there are a lot of pieces to putting on events like these and she also makes
her cell phone contact information available to anyone.
TB 2021-06-28 Pg. 4
The fireworks display will last less than 10 minutes and the music is moderate she also said there
is a n email distribution list that she hopes people will join both for information on events so you
can be aware and make decisions as well as participating if you choose.
Mr. Levitt spoke again, saying that he is relieved to hear what Ms. Brous said and no one wants
to see the property fail. Having lived near the Club for 20+years, he is a little gun shy about the
prospect.
There was no one else wishing to speak and Mr. Howe closed the public hearing.
Mr. DePaolo moved the resolution, seconded by Ms. Bleiwas for discussion.
Mr. DePaolo said he had a couple of comments from his perspective, and as a musician, he has
been involved in shows that have been too loud so he understands the imposition. He said there
are mitigations that can be taken, such as no amplified drums, for example. Fireworks are almost
always traumatic for a very short period of time to some people and most animals, but it
invariably passes and we sort of learned how to deal with it.
He said this is really like what the Town dealt with at the beginning of the Ithaca Beer summer
music series, and in the beginning, there were probably some events that were over done there,
and the neighbors were really organized, and they figured it out between the neighbors and the
business. Ultimately, that would be ideal in this situation too. There is an opportunity for
cooperation and compromise. This is one event,but something to think about.
Mr. Levine said he wanted to clarify the Town's authority on fireworks. The town has no
authority and can only review the application for proper setbacks and similar State requirements,
but the town cannot regulate on the basis of crowds or noise; it is controversial,but the town is
powerless in that regard.
Mr. Moseley agreed, saying we can only look at NYS Fire Code.
Ms. Hunter asked about the resolution and the music is now 5pm—9pm, correct? (yes) and she
wondered if there could be a condition that the duration of the fireworks can be limited to 10
minutes as presented.
Mr. Howe stated that we cannot, we don't have that authority.
Ms. Leary stated that she is willing to try this for the one event, but she isn't sure about the
ongoing series, saying she thinks of this as we do signs in that looking them as content neutral
and the question to her is whether it will disturb the neighbors.
Ms. Leary noted that the current law began over a fundraising event that went 24 hours and
although it was a good cause, it was a huge disturbance. This is highly residential area and she
isn't sure about the ongoing series.
TB 2021-06-28 Pg. 5
Mr. Howe noted that this is not about the series and Ms. Leary said she is willing to see what this
is like to inform the future event(s).
Mr. Goodman spoke saying that he appreciates the analogy to the Ithaca Beer, and although he
will be out of town,he hopes some members and/or staff will go and report back and invited any
neighbors to submit audio recordings. He said he is fine with a one-time event but would like to
hear feedback.
Ms. Bleiwas said he is interested in seeing how it goes and a lot of people on Roat St have been
in favor and she would like to hear the feedback.
Mr. Howe said he is also in favor of the permit.
Mr. DePaolo asked Ms. Taylor Brous if the band for this event, which he is familiar with, is
indicative of the type of band(s) for the weekly series.
Ms. Taylor Brous responded that the band on the 2nd is as big as it is going to get and her
thoughts are more acoustic duos on the patio with light music attracting less than 100 people
with Agava having the bigger sound. She added that she is looking at more of a happy hour
music for people to come and have a drink and not be overwhelmed with the sound.
Mr. Howe thanked everyone for their comments and called the vote.
a. Noise Permit for RaNic July 2°d celebration
TB Resolution 2021 - 085: Grantin,2 a Noise Permit to RaNic/Parrilia for music associated
with the July 2°d Celebration
Whereas an application was received for a noise permit for a July 2nd celebration to include two
bands from 5-9 pm and a fireworks display, and
Whereas a public hearing was set and publicized in the Ithaca Journal, and
Whereas a typographical error was made on the public notice stating the date of the meeting was
June 27th as opposed to June 28d', and
Whereas, as permitted under the Town Code, Chapter 184, the Board has waived the need for an
official public hearing on the request due to the extenuating circumstance of the error and the
timing of the event, and
Whereas, nevertheless, the Town Board invited and heard comments from all persons wishing to
address the Board on the event at its June 28th meeting and received many comments via email,
now, therefore be it
TB 2021-06-28 Pg. 6
Resolved that the Town Board grants a noise permit to RaNic/Parrillo for their event on July 2"d
specifically, the noise associated with two bands performing between 5 pm and 9 pm, 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
2. The waiver is the minimal intrusion needed,because the amplification is needed to provide
music to the area, and music is limited to no later than 9 p.m.; the entertainment is associated
with a community social event, 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 date and time. (Rain date
and with the following
Conditions:
1. That the bands be located behind the clubhouse with speakers faced toward the clubhouse,
and
2. That the music go no later than 9 p.m.
Moved: Rich DePaolo Seconded: Pamela Bleiwas
Vote: ayes—Howe, Bleiwas, Levine, Leary, DePaolo, Hunter and Goodman
b. Noise Permit for Agava—postponed to July 12tn
3. Consider Authorization to Award the 2021 Campbell Avenue Hopkins Place Water
System Improvements Project
Mr. Howe noted that the project came in within budget.
TB Resolution 2021 - 086: Authorization to Award Contract for Construction of the Town
of Ithaca Campbell Avenue-Hopkins Place Water System Improvements Project
Whereas on.June 22, 2021, the Town of Ithaca Director of Engineering received bids for the
Town of Ithaca Campbell Avenue-Hopkins Place Water System Improvements Project (the
"Improvement"), for the installation of approximately 940 linear feet of 8-inch poly-wrapped
ductile iron water pipe, the installation of 4 fire hydrants, and the installation of 7 water services.
The project also includes the installation of a precast concrete structure containing a set of
pressure reducing valves along with the accompanying appurtenances, and
TB 2021-06-28 Pg. 7
Whereas the Director of Engineering has reviewed the bids and qualifications of the bidders and
has determined that the lowest responsive bid of$544,000 for the total project was made by the
lowest responsible bidder, F.P. Kane Construction, Inc., 241 Front Street, Vestal NY 13850, and
Whereas at the December 30, 2020, Town Board meeting, the Town Board adopted a Public
Interest Order (Resolution No. 2020-170) authorizing with the maximum amount of$750,000 to
be expended by the Town of Ithaca for this Improvement, now therefore be it

Mr. Howe noted that this has fixed fees.
TB Resolution 2021- 087: Authorization to Award Contract for the Sanitary Sewer Pump

Moved: Rod Howe Seconded: Tee-Ann Hunter
Vote: ayes—Howe, Hunter, Levine, Leary, DePaolo, Goodman and Bleiwas
5. Committee Reports
a) Budget—Mr. Levine reported that they discussed sales tax reports which are slightly
higher than estimates; discussed moving funds to a different bank for interest rates which
was approved at the last meeting; reviewed the first draft of a Fund Balance Policy which
will set target minimums and maximums.
b) Codes & Ordinances—Mr. Goodman reported that they continued discussion on small
cell antennas and continued drafting the changes to our communications legislation. He
added that they allowed comments and considering some of those for changes to the
legislation. He asked for any final comments or concerns from the board.
c) Personnel and Organization/ERC—Ms. Bleiwas reported that they discussed
postponing the Town Picnic and reviewed the Board Protocol and Procedures Manual.
d) Planning—Mr. DePaolo reported that they began discussions on marijuana dispensaries
with the understanding that in general we are interested in pursuing opportunities and
started with the default premise that we want to keep them out of residential zones and
start with commercial zones. The revenue stream is interesting and not like others and
we have reached out to the Association of Towns for their input. Much more to come.
Also talked about a request for nonconforming uses in a residential zone and we have
asked the applicant to come in and discuss in more detail.
Also got an update on the preservation efforts with the City and developing a historic
preservation component in the town.
Mr. DePaolo reported that they have had a few interviews for consultants for the South
Hill charrette and the idea is to develop an RFP or RFQ with the goal of having the
charrette in September.
TB 2021-06-28 Pg. 9
e) Public Works—Ms. Hunter reported that they reviewed the CIP and Fleet Replacement
Scheduled. Mr. Slater has proposed some changes and it was recommended on to the
Budget Committee.
Heard an update on the 3-day water tank storage issue which has been traced back to the
Dan Walker days and vague reasons associated with redundancy and emergency supply.
Mr. Thaete added that no other municipality has this level of storage and it seems to be
associated with an Emergency Plan with Bolton Point and if we lower it, we can save
some significant money. The tentative proposal is a 1.5 day storage and it could help
with development in the areas the Town has identified in the Comprehensive Plan. He
added that they are developing a report to present.
Ms. Hunter reported that they also reviewed a grant that had been submitted to the IO for
work in the Six Mile Creek area and the 10 has someone ready and willing to write and
manage the grant application and authorization to proceed will be before the board at the
July 12th meeting.
f) Others
o Short Term Rental—Mr. Goodman reported that they discussed some comments
regarding the lake front zone and hear from the County Chair of Tourism and looked
at some laws from other municipalities.
He said his impression is that the committee does not want to look backwards and get
into other examples of other laws but move things along. He will be drafting final
changes based on discussions and it seems 4 members are interested in larger number
of days allowed.
He said they hadn't talked about the lakefront zone and the discussion at the Town
Board at the last study session seemed to be that a majority wanted a longer amount
of time for that zone, while at the committee level, more want a shorter time. Once
the committee talks about the lakefront again, a draft will come to the full board.
Mr. Goodman said he did send a spread sheet out of the various zones and what the
details are on each and went through the spreadsheet. He reminded that counsel had
stated in the past that all zones should be considered for the legislation with
differences amongst them, but all involved in the legislation.
He added that the current legislation continues to only deal with unhosted rentals.
Mr. DePaolo asked about the "facilitator"role on this particular committee because
we have a 3-member voting committee with 4 members actively involved which
causes some confusion and is unusual and we should look at this for future committee
formats.
TB 2021-06-28 Pg. 10
Mr. Howe responded that this would not happen again,but the thought was, we were
so close to finishing this, that Mr. Goodman was just going to finish it up,but from
his perspective, it would not happen again.
He added that it seems we have the same conversations over and over and he
wondered if the committees thought was to just send the full board a draft and the
discussion would go from there.
Mr. Goodman responded that that is his thought process at this time.
Mr. DePaolo said he felt we had discussed the many issues so many times that the
influence of comments or other examples would not be continued to be discussed and
we would just finish a draft for the full board to consider and could double back if
that became necessary.
Ms. Hunter said she could say a lot but thinks it should go to the full board at this
point. She was concerned about the restrictions on one group of people, but not on
others. She thought the committee has listened to everybody and taken a lot of
concerns into consideration and this has become a very complicated piece of
legislation and hard to enforce. She said the overarching goal in the beginning was to
preserve the housing stock and costs of the housing stock and the current legislation
doesn't seem to follow that necessarily.
It seems some people will be allowed to make money on their houses, and she has no
problem with that, but does have a problem with noise and parking and other issues
that are disruptive to the neighborhood and early on Mr. DePaolo had the requirement
of whole-house rentals need to be the primary residence and that addressed some,but
there are no restrictions on room rentals and less restrictions in other zones and then
bringing in lot sizes and more.
Ms. Hunter said she hopes that people in the low-medium- and high density zones
who look at the restrictions on them and then look at the conservation and lake front
zones and the differences will be heard.
Mr. DePaolo said the lower density zones were given exceptions because the
assumption is with more room, and with on-site owner occupancy, there would be
less impacts.
Ms. Leary said she hates to call this a draft because it makes it sound tentative and not
recognizing the work of the four members over these past 3 years.
She also didn't think that the legislation isn't addressing housing stock because it
addresses primary residence requirements. She said the committee had several goals
to reconcile and she felt they did.
TB 2021-06-28 Pg. 11
Mr. Howe brought it to a close, saying the full board would get a draft after one more
meeting of the committee.
o Economic Development—Mr. Howe reported that they continue waiting on a final
draft from the consultants and Ms. Ritter has started a conversation with Planning
staff to work on zones.
o Parks, Trails, Preserves & Recreation—Mr. howe reported that they continue to meet
and identify things they would like to move forward on such as the application for the
Culver Rd Preserve grant.
o TMDL—Mr. DePaolo reported that he and Ms. Hunter have worked on comments to
submit before the deadline of July 8th following direction from the Board and he will
send a draft out soon.
o Chainworks/PC—Mr. Howe asked about the R O D comment period which ends late
July and Ms. Ritter said if all goes well, the State is hoping they will have a final R O
D and we would set a public hearing for the PDZ. Mr. DePaolo said he would like to
reserve the ability for the Board to make a comment if necessary. Ms. Ritter added
that there is a public meeting on July 7th on the R O D.

7. Review of Correspondence—None
8. Other—Mr. Howe noted that the Executive Order has been lifted and he thanked John and
Jake for their efforts on outfitting the boardroom for hybrid meetings. Mr. Little reviewed
some ideas, including having laptops for each member at the table, better microphones and
another screen. We are thinking through the issues and the plan is to continue to do Zoom.
and YouTube to give the option for the public to continue to attend and be engaged.
Mr. Goodman added that he envisions using the same setup for some high-interest committee
level meetings.
Mr. DePaolo asked for a tutorial on the AN equipment for meetings that he facilitates.
Ms. Drake added that it will be important to let Ms. Rosa know about which rooms and when
members want to use them and get them on the calendar.
Ms. Drake asked if committee members are required to be present in person and Mr. Howe
responded that the assumption is Town Board, Zoning Board and Planning Board will be in
person unless there is a medical reason. Ms. Rosa added that she has questions out to the
Committee on.Open Government for clarification on attendance at the various levels.
Mr. Howe reported that the American Rescue Plan funds continue to be discussed and we
still do not know how much we will get and whether there will be a portion set aside for the
Village but he and Ms. Shaw continue to work through the process and ask questions.
TB 2021-06-28 Pg. 13
Mr. Howe noted that there is a push behind the scenes about member attendance via remote
program but nothing has happened yet.
The Utility Moratorium is also still being fleshed out with more to come by the next meeting.
9. Adjournment
Meeting was adjourned at 6:38 p.m. upon a motion by Mr. Howe, seconded by Mr. Levine,
