CONOVER Town Clerk '1" ULYSSES YOUTH CENTER -- OVERVIEW OF 1976 The one thing which stands out most for me in my experience with the Ulysses Youth Center this past year is the tremsndcus amount of growth it went through, growth not only in actual numbers of youth attending the Center and activities provided, but growth in the morale and spirit of everyone concerned. January through May was a fairly stable and, constant period in the life of the Youth Center, We had just moved into our new building on Main Street. Attendance was quite good --about: 8 youths in the after- noons, 16 in the evenings- -youths coming to ooci.alize and rap with friends, receive counseling, or join in the activities: games, ping- pong, craft classes, rap groups, Youth/Rtrsnt forums, and dances. June was a difficult month --almost all the adult staff left for other. jobs! Leaving basically only one adult staff person to keep the whole thing going as before, which--somehow--was accomplished, The same activities continued to be run, the same hours held, and the average attendance of youth remained the same,, It was in July that things for us really began to happen. First, the staff increased from one to three full-time and one part-time adults, and from two to four youth staff, which enabled us to greatly increase our activities: leathercraft, sewing, batikand tie-dye classes, swimming, baking, bake sales and other fund-raising activities, Dial - a -worker, movies rap groups, coffee houses, dances, By the end of the summer, the average attendance had doubled, -from 8 to 15 in the after- noons, and from 16 to 35 youths in the evenings, fairly evenly divided between male and female. Not only were the youths coming in for the activities, the Youth Cc: -'.ter was becoming a more and more viable place to "be" --a place where one can always find a friendly place, a place to be with friends and make new friends, and a olace where one can come to talk about one's problems and receive confidential and experienced help and referrals. What is very important in the numt'ers mentioned above is that: 1, we began to reach more and more youth; while at the same thine main- taining our relationships with the youths we were already in contact with and 2. the youths who came to the Center came regularly, in many cases enabling the staff to have dais contact, and to interact with the youths in many di.fferent contexts; not only in having fun and doing activities together, but in counseling sif.uati.ons as well. In many cases it is this having fun together, doing an activity together, which lays the groundwork and enables the youngster to feel comfortable in coming to the counselor with a problem, or in getting to know each other on a deeper level, Our instances of regular plus informal counseling greatly increased during the summer, as did the number of success stories we can tell. In the middle of September our lease ran out for our bullAing, so we put all our furniture and belongings in storage, anti moved tempor- arily for the remainder of the year to a room in, &vl donated to us by, the Presbyterian Church. This of course put a :u tt. on the activities we could offer, but we still managed somes leath_'xcraft, soma impromptu drama, movies run by the youth, baking, rap groul;:i, and of course, counseling. Due to the loss of the building and. the beginning of school, attendance dropped down, but not by as much as would have been expected. Attendance was either the same as, or a little better than, before the summer when we had our own building! And attendr.•;:ce was much greater than at the same time last year! So even amidst hajxiship, the Center has grown, Only I hope the hardship doesn't last. too long. I would hate to see this momentum and energy be lost. What has been shown to me very much throughout this year, especially since the summer, is the tremendous committ.msnt of so many of the youths. First of all, the youths came to the center not only for "fun" but for reasons of committment. The youths who came for counseling and the girls who came to the rap group once a week for a full year came to do some serious work to help themselves with -their own problems and in establishing their sense of self. Second many of the activities which were run, were run by the youths themselves (with supervision, of course). One of these youth -run activities, the coffee house (in which the youths worked., baked and sold refreshments, provided music, and cleaned up themselves) raised the attendance on Friday nights from 3 to 74 in just three months! The youths have also run many other fundraising activities, from bake sales in the summer, to selling Christmas trees in the winter. When we moved out of our building in September, 40 youths showed up to help move, and believe me, they really worked! And after moving to the church, they still came, and still continued to help run activities and behaved quite admirably and respectfully in the church. As I write this, I am feeling a tremendous pride in these teenagers. As for the few youths who were exceptions to the examples of growth I mentioned above, these are the youths who really need our services, and our goal is to continue to try to help these youngsters, My belief is that even many of these youths have exhibited g::outh. I also cannot underestimate the importance of the staff and coordinator. It is they who set the tone and got the a^ergy going for this whole process of growth and involvement. It is they who use their skills to provide the supervision and to lay the froundwork for and maintain the activities, and the relationships, and who help the youths realize and assume their full capabilities as well as responsibilities, and who keep the wheel of creative energy rolling, and who can really establish an atmosphere of trust and caring. We would like to extend a heartfelt thanks to everyone who con- tributed energy, time, and/or money, and love to the youth of T -burg and the Ulysses Youth Center this past year. --Tanni Hall 4 1 ULYSSES TOWN BOARD March 8, 1977 Regular Town Board meeting called to order at 8 p.m. by Deputy Supervisor Robert C.

The following claims were studied by Board members: ® General Fund Nos. 57 through 82 Highway Fund Nos. 33 through 52 Fire Protection No. 1 Part Town Fund No. 4 Mr. Agard moved the claims be approved for payment.

Town make a memorial gift of $50.00, Mr. Agard voted and carried. Mrs. Tsapis has indicated Br husband was particularly interested in. Prior to the meeting the Board members had been provided copies of a letter from Robert Cutia, Director and Coordinator of Youth Bureau in Ithaca relative to prosposed cuts in the 1977-78 budget for State Division for Youth Assistance funds. Mr. Cutia said the Governor has "proposed a deep and crippling cut to funds for youth programs" to the extent of " cuts of 30% in Recreation funds, 16.5% in Youth Service funds and 18% in the operation of Youth Bureaus." During discussion of the problem Board members expressed concern regarding the partial state funding of our local programs. Mr. Agard moved the following resolution be passed, with copies being sent to State Representative Gary Lee and State Senator William smith: &A--- SL WHEREAS: the NYS Division for Youth has been working cooperatively with our municipality, helping us develop and deliver and operate our municipal youth programs for over thirty years, and WHEREAS: the Division for Youth has aided us with both staff and vitally important local assistance funds to offer these important services to our youth, and ® WHEREAS: the availability of youth services, recreation and quality leisure time activities of our young people during their important, formative years are serving ® to help build character in them, and WHEREAS: these timely, available youth services activities are any "important and valuable aid in preventing juvenile deli/ uency, and WHEREAS: Governor Carey has recommended a severe and literally crippling reduction in thane funds for Youth Development and DelijPuency Prevention (which has been $2.25 per youth per year for the past three years) which will moat assuredly and adversely affect local governments capacity to serve the needs and problems of our youths before they escalate into actual and costly delinquency (which is irrational and impractical in both human and fiscal terms as evidenced by the present cost of more than $25,000 per year per youth for delinquency institutional care) and ULYSSES TN BD 3-8-77 p2 7 WHEREAS: the proposed changes in the technical language of the Governor's Budget Bill, as it relates to local assistance to municipalities for youth programs, will prohibit expansion and funding of our community youth programs, not only in this fiscal year but for years to come, THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED: that the New York State Legislature restore to the 1977-78 State Budget, Division for Youth local assistance funds, at least to the level of the last two fiscal years, namely $16,369,000, and further, that the proposed changes resulting from the technical language of the Governor's proposed Budget Bill be rejected and that the original language as ® embodied in the 1976-77 Adopted Budget Bill remain in effect and +•nchangedv and BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED: that a certified copy of this resolution be sent tc Representative Gary Lee, Senator William Smith, an,; the Governor of this State. Resolution adopted unar.,mously. Mrs. Seacord then told the Board of the problems at Glenwood School for their summer program for children in that school. She said that while Glenwood School was in the Ithaca School District, only $400 had been allocated, reluctantly, by the Ithaca Bureau for their summer program. She said Mr. Cutia had estimated the Glenwood program to cost approximately $1700. The Glenwood School is located in the Town of Ulysses. Mrs. Seacord said 56 students live in the Town of Ulysses, 48 in the Town of Ithaca and 21 in the Town of Enfield. The Board expressed great interest in the Glenwood School summer program and assured Mrs. Seacord the Board would be providing some financial assistance. The Board suggested, however, she contact the Town of Ithaca Board and the Enfield Board for financial contributions. The Ulysses Town Board will set an amount for its funding at the April Board meeting, taking the sum from the Federal Revenue Sharing funds which have been received through the Federal unemployment assistance act. The funds, so the Board has been advised by the State Audit and Control office, should be used only for payrolls - either to keep from laying off Town employees or for hiring additional help. Next on the agenda was expenditures for the Highway Department. Board members were asked by Mr. Holtkamp about his request for a time clock for the Town highway employees to be located in the Town barn. He indicated a time clock would enable accurate time accounting and would be in compliance with the Taylor law. Estimated cost would be approximately $160. Mr. Allen moved the time clock be purchase, Mr. Smith seconded the motion, voted and carried. • The matter of repairs to the Brockway truct was next. Mr. Holtkamp said that while the truck has 120,000 miles on it, replacement costs for the truck would exceed $50,000 and that repairs, which were beyond the capability of the highway crew, would cost perhaps as much as $3,000. Mr. Agard moved the repairs be made, Mr. Allen seconded the motion, voted and carried. Mr. Holtkamp also asked permission to purchase a 5 -ft Sickle Bar Mower to be used on the Case tractor. Approximate cost $2200.00. Mr. Smith moved approval of the purchase, Mr. Allen seconded the motion, voted and carried. Mr. Holtkamp is to provide specifications for bidders, notification of bid opening to be advertised for March 28 at 7:30 p.m. in the Town Hall. Mr. Holtkamp had reported to the Board that nine new road signs had either been vandalized or stolen in the past several months. He asked the Board's opinion about replacement of the signs at an estimated cost of $235. The cost would be charged to the General Fund appropriation for road signs. Mr. Agard moved the purchase be approved Mr. Smith seconded the motion, voted and carried. Mr. Holtkamp said he plans to raise the replaced signs by two feet, using a 2' inch iron pipe base as a starter post. Ulysses 'i'n isd 3-I1-77 p3 :itilte Representative Gary Lee had advised the To'r/n lloard of Governor Car.y'n proposed cut in Town Highway and Bridge Improvement (Donovan Aid) funds. In 1976 the Governor had proposed elimination of Donovan aid entirely but then funds were restored by the Legislature. Mr. Agard moved the following resolution be passed with a copy of same going to Mr. Lee: n 0 LI WTIiEREAS: the Towns in the State of New York need financial assistance in maintaining Town roads and bridges, and 1.111EREAS: the past winters severe weather has created major damage to said roads, THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED: the Ulysses Town Board requests the Governor and the State Legislature seriously consider maintaining the appropriation for Town Highway and Bridge Improvement (Donovan Aid) at the requested level of $6.2 million and that a copy of this Resolution be forwarded to State Representative Gary Lee. Mr. Allen seconded the motion, voted and carried unanimously. Mr. Rector was next on the agenda. He gave a brief resume of the current status of the Route 96 corridor situation. The Town Board decided to draft a resolution for presentation at the April 12 meeting relative to the necessity of an alternate routing of Route 96 out of the City of Ithaca, eliminating the hazards existing on Cliff Street, and the "Octipus" . The Board discussed tax abatement for new industrial construction in the Township. During the discussion Mr. Luster said no action would be required by the Board if they approved the 5O`,:', reduction over a ten year period, since the State law would go into effect. The Board decided to table any action until the April meeting. Mr. Holtkamp reported on Highway activities for the past month and Mrs. Lueder reported on her activities as Zoning Officer. Mrs. Robinson commented on a Sheriffs Department vehicle speeding through Jacksonville. The Board advised her the best way to handle the problem was to get the plate number of the vehicle and report it to the Sheriff. There being no further business, meeting adjourned. ah Ct V 1 / 1 ALICE I3•.

Lee 09 SUBJECT: Town Highway and Bridge Inprovemnt (Donovan Aid) In 1976 the Governor reocmum_nded the elimination of Donovan Aid, but the Legis- lature restored $5.8 million to continue the program. However, since the Governor abolished the previous administrative unit that provided operating support for the program, the Division of the Budget took $300,000 from the re-. stored program funding and used it for administration. This action left $5.5 million for projects, which was $300,000 less than was available in 1975-76. Payment delays to towns have occurred because of the failure to fill vacant position-, in a tim ly manner. The Governor's budget reccrm-emds a staff funding level of $100,000 in 1977-78, a cut of $200,000 from 1976-77. The net result of this cut will be more lengthy delays in payments than towns have experienced for the current year. In addition, the Governor has reduced the total request to $5.6 million, which means funds for projects will remain at the current year level of $5.5 million, even though the Transportation Department requested $6.2 million. I The $6.2 million Department request for projects in 1977-78 is needed for several reasons. - More towns are expected to apply for funds. - The costs of construction materials have increased. - A number of 1976-77 projects may not receive payments until ].977-78. In summary, the Governor's reoomendation means the towns can expect to receive less funding in 1977-78 and be able to do even less proportionately. Obviously this doesn't square with the Governor's highly publicized proposals to increase highway construction. 7 ULYSSES TOWN BOARD March 28, 1977 BID OPENING Deputy Supervisor Robert C.

I lv ULYSSES TOWN BOARD April 12, 1977 Regular meeting called to order at 8 p.m. by Supervisor Bruce M. Payne. Board members present: Councilmen Williaip Agard, H. William Smith, J. Frederick Allen and Robert C. Herrick; also Town Clerk Alice Conover, Town Attorney Arthur Golder Jr., A. Beers, sec. Others present: Justice Roger Rector, Marilyn Rector, Lilla Licht of the Free Press, Martin Luster, Earl Richar. Mr. Herrick moved the minutes of the March meeting, as typed and distributed to Board members, be approved. Mr. Agard seconded the motion, voted and carried. The following claims were inspected by the Board: General Fund Nos. 83 through 110 Highway Fund Nos. 53 through 76 Part Town Fund Nos. 5 and 6 Mr. Agard moved the claims be approved for payment, Mr. Herrick seconded the motion, voted and carried. The Board had discussed the Donovan Plan for highway improvement at the March meeting. The Board, having decided to apply for State f Linda under this plan, Mr. Herrick moved the following resolution be adopted.: RESOLVED: that the plan prepared at the reqest of this Board for the improvement of Town highways and covering all projects contemplated by it, pursuant to Article 8-A Highway Law, as filed in the office of the Town Clerk of the Town of Ulysses, County of Tompkins, on the 29th day of March 1977, be and the same is hereby adopted; and be it further RESOLVED: that copies of such plan be filed in the appropriate State and County offices in accordance with the pro= visions of Section 220, Article 8-A Highway Law. Mr. Smith seconded the motion, voted and carried unanimously. Mr. Payne then reported on the current status of Cable TV in the County and the establishment of an official Cable TV Commission in the County. He indicated that the State Cable TV Commission had responded to the petition submitted by Ceracchi's Washington D.C. attorneys and advised them that our agreement did not violate any existing franchise commitments. (See April 1, 1977, letter from John Marcham.) Initial membership in the Commission shall be for a period of one year, with a municipal fee of $50 with the understanding that each municipality may decide at the end of a year if it wishes to retain its membership. After soipe discussion Mr. Herrick moved the Town of Ulysses become a member of the Commission, Mr. Agard seconded the motion, voted and carried. Mr. Payne said Mr. Carl Cox will continue to represent the Town in Cable TV matters. Mr. Payne will sign the agreement. Next on the agenda was the question of business investipent exemption in the Township. As discussed at the March meeting, this State law applies to business construction, and would include hotels or motels, but not private dwellings or apartment houses. The law states, in part, "such real property shall be exempt for a period of one year to the extent of fifty percentum of the increase in assessed value thereof attributable to such construction, alteration, installa- tion or improvement and for an additional period of nine years provided, however, that the extent of such exemption shall be decreased by five percentum each year during such additional period of nine years" The Town Board decided it did not wish to decrease the exemption rate from that cited by the State law believing the exemption might en- courage businesses in the Township. Mr. Payne informed the Board that Representative Gary A Lee plans to be in Trumansburg on Friday, April 22, for a"Listen-In". He will be at the Town Hall from 10:30 am until 12 noon that day. Ulysses Town Board 4=12-77 p2 % The Board then turned to the discussion of the State Environmental Quality Act. This act was supposed to go into effect April 1 1977. (The Ulysses Town Board did not receive a copy of the act until after its March 8 meeting). After considerable discussion the Board decided to,table action on the act, asking Mr. Golder to investigate the im- plications of the act further. The Board members will also question Mr. Lee about it during his visit here April 22. The Board set the date of May 3, 6977, 7:30 p.m. in the Town Hall for a public hearing relative to the rant case. • Next on the agenda was the matter of funds for the summer program at Glenwood school. This matter had also been discussed at the March 8 meeting, at which time the Board indicated its intention of assisting the funding of the program by use of Revenue Sharing anti=recession • funds. Mr. Herrich moved the Board approve the use of a total of $750 of these funds for the Glenwood School summer program, Mr. Agard seconded the motion, voted and carried. Mr. Payne then brought to the attention of the Board action of the County Board of Representatives in August of 1976, creating an Ithaca - Tompkins County Transportation Commission. The purpose of this commission is to consolidate and coordinate planning activities involv- ing all forms of transportation in the County into a single organization with delegated authorization for planning, coordination and facilitation. Mr. Liguori, in a letter, of March 17, suggested the Ulysses Town Board consider the adoption of a resolution authorizing the Town of Ulysses to participate in the Commission activities and to designate a representative. After a short discussion of the matter Mr. Herrick moved the following resolution be adopted: RESOLVED: that the Town of. Ulysses be authorized to become a parti= cipating member of the Ithaca -Tompkins County Transpor- tation Commission effective with the action of this resolution, and bee iit urther resolved that the Ulysses Town Board appoint Mr. Martin Luster, Trumansburg attorney, as a representative of the Town of Ulysses on said Commission. Mr. Agard seconded the motion which was carried unanimously. The subject of Route 96 was next on the agenda. Mr. Herrick said he and Mr. Agard had attended meetings relative to the re-routing of Route 96 from Ithaca to a point in the vicinity of the Tompkins Cointy Hospital. While the Board members said they could not say which of the proposed routes would be the best, they did agree that a route should be selected which would impose the least dislocation of businesses and residences, and suggested a more northerly route across the inlet would be preferred. Board members unanimously agreed that an elevated roadway be constructed over the railroad tracks, since it was believed that the greater use of coal for power generating plants on the east shore of Cayuga Lake would necessarily increase train traffic, thds endangering the quick movement of emergency vehicles to thewest side of Ithaca and the west side of the lake (i.e. ambulances, fireHprotection equipment, etc.) Mr. Herrick said the Ithaca Common Council will make • the ultimate decision as to the location of the new route. Mr. Herrick then moved the following resolution be adopted: WHEREAS: the re-routing of Route 96 from Route 13 across the Cayuga inlet to the north as been under consideration for the past several years, and WHEREAS: traffic has increased over the past 10 years on Route 96, which is an arterial highway between the northern and the southern points in the State, and WHEREAS: Route 96 is the highway used by large transport trucks and trailers thereby making the Cliff Street portion of the highway extremely hazardous, and Ulysses Tn Rd 4-12-77 p3 l) L:1 S S I WHEREAS: the present crossing of the railroad tracks at grade level presents a hazard to the cummunity for the passage of emergency vehicles including ambulances and fire protection equipment, and WHEREAS: the current routing of Route 96 via Cliff Street presents an untenable hazard to residents of the Town of Ulysses employed in commercial and educational establishments in Ithaca BE IT RESOLVED: that the Ulysses Town Board urge the timely decision of a choice for the re-routing of Route 96 between highway Route 13 and a point north or in the vicinity of Tompkins County Hospital, thereby eliminating the use of Cliff Street as a portion of Route 96, and also eliminating the grade crossing over the railroad tracks, and BE. IT FURTHER RESOLVED: that a copy of this resolution be addressed to Mr. Frank R. Liguori, Planning Commissioner of Tompkins County, to Mr. Rudolph Saccncci, First Ward Alderman of the City of Ithaca, Mr. Walter Schwan, Supervisor of the Town of Ithaca, and to Mr. Joseph Powers of the State Department of Transportation. Mr. Smith seconded the motion which was passed unanimously. Mr. Richar then asked the Board for road repair materials for certain Grove cemetery roads. He said he would like to have a donation of approximately $100 worth of crusher run stone or crushed bankrun and would like to have the Town Highway department truck it in. Mr. Golder reminded the Board that giving the atone and trucking it at no charge would be illegal. The matter will be discussed when Mr. Holtkamp returns. There being no further business, meeting adjourned.

NEW YORK 14880 May 10, 1977 To Ulysses Town Board - • Another meeting has prevented me from attending • yours - which I had hoped to do. Bruce has consented to give you my message. • I would like to urge you to oppose the construction • of the so-called Cayuga Station coal-fired electric plant. I know you will say - "We need the energy". • But that does not mean that a plant that size needs to be built on a lake as small and beautiful as Cayuga. No matter what big business interests and unions say, it most certainly would be detrimental to the lake. I have watched the disastrous effects that Milliken has • already had. I enclose a copy of my letter to Judge Boschwitz stating my views. Please give this your serious consideration both as a body and individually. Thank you. QA,fr Trumansburg, New York 14886 May 3, 1977 . The Honorable Stewart Boschwitz• Department of Public Service • Agency Building 3 • Empire State Plaza • Albany, New York 12223 Re: Case No. 80002 Cayuga Station Dear Judge Boschwitz: Since I was unable to attend the public hearing on May 2 concerning the above case, I should like to express my opinion in writing and request that it be included in the record of the meeting. I am unalterably opposed to the construction by New York State Electric and Gas Corp. of the so-called "Cayuga Station", a coal-fired electric plant on Cayuga Lake. The fact that this would not be a nuclear plant makes it no less undesirable and dangerous for Cayuga Lake and its environs, than was "Bell Station", plans for which were abandoned in 1973. The fact that the battle to stop any addition to Milliken Station has been raging for many years should be evidence that there is considerable opposition and public opinion against such construction. In 1973 officials of NYSE&G stated that if "there is concerted public opposition" to Bell Station, they would "go directly" to another site. However, when.they gave up the nuclear plant, they announced plans at once for a coal-fired' plant at the same site. I believe this shows a lack of good faith. We should not be panicked by cries of "energy crisis". We can, if we try, conserve energy far more than we are doing. We can produce energy in ways and at places that will not spoil and endanger the few places of beauty we have left. Cayuga Station would adversely affect the environ- ment: would shoot flyash into the air, despoil the landscape with a plant three times the size of Milliken, rear an ugly 1100foot smoke stack, run coal trains constantly through Ithaca and along the lake shore. Probably the most disastrous and irreversible consequence would be the thermal pollution of the lake caused by the discharge of hot- water from both the Cayuga and Milliken plants. I believe that we should preserve the peace and beauty of Cayuga Lake for residential and recreational purposes for ourselves, our children and their children, as well as for all those who come to visit here frqm all over the world. I believe that we who live here now have this obligation to save Cayuga Lake for future generations. Sincerely yours, ell an B. Ashbery (Mrs. RAiay S 17 ULYSSES TOWN BOARD PUBLIC HEARING May 19, 1977 PURPOSE OF HEARING: Request by Alan and Marjorie Grant for a Planned Development District Hearing called to order at 8 p.m. by Supervisor Bruce M. Payne. Present at hearing: Board Councilmen William Agard, II. William Smith, Robert Herrick, J. Frederick Allen; Zoning officer Jeanne Lueder� Petitioners Alan and Marjorie Grant, Town Attorney Arthur Golder Jr, Grant's attorney Robert Hines, Arles Robinson, Mrs. Connie Lewis, Mrs. Camille Murphy Bartow, Mrs. Rose Ferner; and A. Beers, see. Mr. Payne opened hearing by reading the public notice for the hearing as advertised. He then asked for comments from the audience. Mr. Hines spoke first,giving a brief account of reasons for and timing of placing a mobile home on the Grant property (which is zoned "commercial"), the Grants first asking for a building permit for the • mobile home, then belatedly petitioning the Town Planning Board for a Planned Development District (in accordance with current Ulysses Town Zoning Ordinance), and also saying a part of the problems incurred with the placement of the mobile home rested wit his handling of the matter. He also suggested the Grants should move into the new mobile home after Mba. Grants parents are deceased, and remove the old mobile home they now occupy on the property. Mrs. Bartow spoke next, saying she owns 210 acres abutting the Grant property and that she objected to having a trailer next to her property, that••she would not want to have the area residential or have a housing development or a trailer park on the site. She. said she regretted the situation existing with the illness of Mrs. Grant"s father. Mrs. Lewis of 548 Waterburg Road said she did not believe a Planned Development District was the proper approach to trailer placement in 'I the Township. Mrs. Grant said her father, aged 75, is a cancer patient. She said she did not want a trailer park on their property, pointed out that the new mobile home had been, and is in the process of, being, land- scaped, and that she had a lot of money invdatpd in the property. She also said her father was moved directly to the trailer upon his release from the hospital, and that prior to this she had found it necessary to commute to Horseheads each day because of his illness. Mrs. Robinson referred to the Cooper case, in which a trailer had been placed on property prior to the Planning Board's hearing in the case, and believed the Cooper case had set a precident. Mr. Payne asked if there were any more comments to be heard, and hear none, advised the Town Board would decide upon its action relative to this hearing at the Town Board's regular meeting on June 14, 1977. There being no further business, Mr. Allen moved for adjournment, voted and carried.�1/� eel rs, sec. I TOWN OF ULYSSES PUBLIC HEARING ZONING BOARD OF APPEALS June 6, 1977 PURPOSE of Hearing: to consider application of Jean Ramstad for an area variance and interpretation of the Zoning Ordinance for property on Maplewood Road, Parcel # 28-1-18, under Article IV, section 9, of the Town of Ulysses Zoning Ordinance.

Beers, sec. Mr. Mason called hearing to order at 7:30 p.m. in Town Hall as advertised. He called for questions and comments from the applicant and the attorney. Mr. Ward presented a mock-up of the proposed dwelling to be constructed on the property, presented the sewage construction permit issued by the County health Department, letters from neighboring property owners indicating they had no objection to tha construction of the residence. In answer to a question from the Board, Mr. Ward said Attorney Adams had checked with the State Conservation Department and had learned no special authorization from that Department would be needed for the con- struction. The Board then retired from the hearing for an executive session. Upon returning to the hearing Mrs. Koskinen moved the following resolution be adopted: WHEREAS: the applicant, Mrs. Jean Ramstad has requested a variance for relief from dimensional requirements as set forth under Article IV, Section 9, of the Town of Ulysses Zoning Ordinance, in that the applicant wishes to construct a residence closer to the front property line than the ordinance permits, and WHEREAS: the Town of Ulysses Zon ing Board of Appeals has determined that: 1. the variation in relation to the requirement is not a significant consideration due to the nature of the area and type of use, 2, the variance if allowed would have minimal effect on population density or available government facilities, 3. that the variance would not affect substantial change on the character of the neighborhood or be a detriment to adjoining properties, 4. that the nature of the terrain and the rock underlay, prevent the difficulty from being obviated by any 40 method feasible for the applicant, 5. and that in consideration of the above factors, and in the interest of justice, ® THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED: that the variance requested be granted. Mr. Reulein seconded Mr, Reulein the motion. Voting as follows: yes Mrs. Koskinen yes Mrs, Van Dyk yes Mr. Cowan yes Mr. Mason yes Mrs. Ramstad will be officially advised of Board action by copy of these minutes. A.

The question of a County Youth Bureau elicited considerable comment from the Board and the assembled guests. Mr. Cox, who is the Town representative on the County Planning Board, spoke in favor of a County organization on the basis of possible loss of State Youth funds if a County Organization is not established. Board member Mr Herrick complained that the Town had not received a copy of the proposed State Law relative to funding of local youth programs, and that the State seemed to be saying to local governments "do it or else", without adequate information. Mr. Cox indicated action would have to be taken by June 24. The Board took no action, on the basis of Mr. Herrick's remarks. The Board indicated it would take action "when it knew what the State's program would entail." The following claims were inspected by Board members: General Fund Nos. 128 through 151 Highway Fund Nos. 86 through 96 Part Town Funds Nos. 9 through 16 Mr. Agard moved the claims be approved for payment, Mr. Smith seconded the motion, voted and carried.

Mr. Payne then advised that Mr. Peter Kahn, member of the Cornell University Fine Arts (History of Art) faculty, had agreed to appointment on the Zoning Appeals Board to fill out the term of Mr. Cowan, expiring January 1981. Mr. Herrick moved Mr. Kahn be appointed to the Appeals Board, Mr. Allen seconded the motion, voted and carried. The question of liability insurance for Board members was next on the agenda, but since information on this subject had not been received, the item was held over until the July meeting. Mr. Payne asked the Board members if they wished to ride in the Firemens' parage on Friday evening, July 8, as they have in the past. The Board agreed. Ulysses Tn Bd G-].4-77 p2 4' E I Next on the agenda was the matter of a recording answering system on the telephone of the Zoning Officer, Mrs. Lueder, at a cost of $5.00 for inatall&tion and $5.00 per month service fee.

(The Ulysses Town Board had delayed action on this bill because d• inadequate and confusing stipulations in the proposed law.) Mr. Holtkamp also said he had been informed the Town of Ulysses has been included in the 1977 Donovan Road Improvement program. Also of immediate importance, he said, was finding that a bridge on Durling Road needs extensive repair. He is to confer with the County Highway Superintendent as to the repairs needed and the estimated cost. Mr. Holtkamp advised the State DOT highway engineers would be in Trumansburg at 10 a.m. Thursday, June 23, to meet with the Town:and Village Highway departments.

There being no further business, meeting adjourned.(LIl & (jnh / / ALICE B.CONOVER� Town Clerk b TOWN Or ULYSSES ZONING BOARD OFD APPEALS PUBLIC HEARING August 9, 1977 PURPOSE OF HEARING: application IF25 by Frank and Susan Zimmerman, 19 Swamp College Road, Jacksonville, for use variance under Article III, Secs. 3 and 4, and Article VI, Sec. 30, on Parcel It25-1-16, acquired by purchase on October 28, 1976. Present at hearing: B7d1 members: James Mason, Chairman, Adrienne Van Dyk, Laura Koskinen, Peter Kahn, Seville Reulein, Jrl; Sec A Beers; Petitioners Frank and Susan Zimmerman, Zoning Officer Joanne Lueder, Deputy Zoning Officer David Cowan; Guests: Clair P. and Helen D. Wing, Paula Ferguson, Barbara Woodams, Lyle Raymond, David Stickane, Alan Stickane, Elizabeth Stickane, Stephen Hayward, Edwin Kelley, Stefan Szymanski, Arlee Robinson, Steven Zifchak, Lilla Licht, Rolf Holtkamp, Earl Richar, and George Patte, Attorney for Mr. and Mrs. Zimmerman. Mr. Mason called hearing to order at 8:30 p.m. in Town Hall, and asked a statement from the Zimmermans as to their petition. Mr. Patte asked to speak for the Zimmermans as to their petition. Mr. Patte questioned the Zimmermans as to when they purchased the property, name of real estate company through which the purchase was made. In response to Mr. Patte's questions, Mr. and Mrs. Zimmerman said they purchased the property through Patterson Real Estate with date of sale October 28, 1976 They said the Patterson agent did not tell them whether or not the property was zoned commercial or residential. Mrs. Zimmerman testified that her husband was fully employed at time of purchase and that they did not anticipate going into business for themselves at that time, however, they assumed they could operate a family business on a small sea scale on that property since it bad been used as a business property by Mr. Gordon Stickane (now deceased) for a TV repair shop and an auto body repair and paint shop. They said there were three bays in the garage at the property, that the bays were still equippped for auto body repair and painting work, and that certain equipment in the shop had been included in the bill of sale. Mr. and Mrs. Zimmerman also said when they visited the property prior to purchase they saw David Stickane, son of Gordon and Elizabeth Stickane, repairing and painting a vehicle in the garage. Questioning Mrs. Stickane, the attorney brought out that when the Stickanes purchased the property in 1959, the tax assessor at that time, (Mr. Howard Stover', now deceased) had indicated the property was zoned commercial, and at that time the garage had two bays, the Stickanes adding the third bay in 1961. She also said there was a business sign on the property at that time and one on the corner of Swamp College Road and Route 96. Mr. Patte questioned David Stickane as to whether or not he had been conducting a commercial business on the property. Mr. Stickane indicated he had done auto body repair and painting on the property since 1972 or 1973, that he had worked on bicycles and motorcycles on the property, and that he had been apid for the work he had done, but he did not say if he had been paid for all the work done there by him. He also testified Mrs. Woodams knew he had been doing this work and had not protested. ® Mrs. Woodams, present at the hearing, was protesting the use of the property by Mr. Zimmerman as an auto repair and paint shop. Mr. Patte questioned other residents living in the vicinity of the property in question as to whether or not they objected to the presence of a body repair and paint shop operation. Mr. Raymond, residing he lived 100 feet from the Zimmerman property on the same side of the road, said he did not object to the business as long as it did not expand in size and as long as there was no advertising sign at the place of business. Mr. Wing also said he did not object now, but would object if the business expanded to a full scale operation. 8711 hearing Zimmerman p2 2O1 Mr. Zimmerman said ho had been laid off from his work at Cutting Motors in Ithaca where he had been employnd in the repair and painting of used cars. Ile also elaborated on his statement in the variance requent relative to collecting un-employment insurance benefits. Mr. Zimmerman testified he had no employees, that the man sharing the work space with him was not employed by him. In his testimony fir. Zimmerman said he had repainted Mrs. itoodams car, at her request, for pay. This work van completed one day prior to Mrs. Woodams objecting to his operating an auto body repair and paint shop, according to fir.. and Mrs. Zimmerman. Mrs. Robinson indicated she had served a violation order on firs. Stickane (prior to the purchase of the property by the Zimmermann and during the period when Mrs. Robinson was zoning Officer for the Town of Ulysses - perhaps 1973, 19747 The exact time of this service was not stated by Mrs. Robinson. Mrs. Stickane answered this charge by saying the violation notice was for junk cars parked on the rear of the property, not for paint shop operations. Airs. Robinson did not speak further on this point. ti The Board then retired for an executive session. Returning to the hearing, Mr. Mason announced that the Board needed additional time to review the evidence and testimony presented at the hearing, and the hearing was being recessed until 7:30 p.m. September 19, 1977, at which time the hearing would be continued and a decision reached. September 19, 1977 Board of Zoning Appeals Chairman, James Mason, reconvened the recessed hearing of August 9, 1977, at 7:30 p.m. in the Town Hall. Board members present: Adrienne VanDyk, Laura Koskinen, Peter Kahn. Absent Seville Reulein, Jr.; also present: Sec. A. Beers, Zoning Officer Jeanne Lueder, Mr. and Mrs. Zimmerman, their attorney George Patte, Mrs. Gordon Stickane, Alan Stickane, Barbara Woodams, Paula Ferguson, Arlee Robinson, Martin Luster, and Robert Lynch of WTKO. Mr. Mason reviewed the previous hearing by presenting questions to Mr. and Mrs. Zimmerman. Mr. and Mrs. Zimmerman said the real estate agent (lady) did not mention to them as to whether or not the property in question was in a residential or commercial zone. lie asked if they anticipated using the property for business purposes. Mrs. Zimmerman said they wanted a place with a large garage so Mr. Zimmerman could do work on the side, and that auto body painting was being done in the garage when they went to see the property prior to purchase offer submission. The real estate agent said "had just the right place for you" over the phone but was not with them the evening they visited the property. She said the only reason they purchased the property was because of the large garage, and she also said the real estate agent indicated that Mrs. Stickane's "husband had just died". Further questioning revealed that Mr. Stickane's auto painting business ceased at the time of his death in 1965. Asked if there was a business sign on the property advertising body repair and painting, Airs. Zimmerman said there was such a sign inside the garage;by the "heater". • Asked if he and his brother used the facility as a business -venture, Alan Stickane said they did not register as a business and did not advertise. Mr. Mason then asked Mrs. Woodams to read a letter which she had sent to him relative to the case. Her letter is quoted: TOWN OF ULYSSES ZONING BOARD OF APPEALS PUBLIC 11EARING August 9, 1977 L k • /- /A .11 15 Swamp College Road Jacksonville, New York 14854 July 20, 1977 Dear Jean and Members of the Board, I would like to express my feelings on having our area rezoned to accom- modate a paint and body shop. Frank Zimmerman, a new neighbor to the West of our home, told us he was starting a paint and body shop. We suggested they contact you Joan and in- quire about the zoning code. They were told too that this is a residential area. I admire anyone who wants to be independent and operate his own business, and we are not objecting to the Zimmerman'a personally. I am certain they are just as upset about this zoning problem since it was the fault of the real es- tate agent, etc., for telling the Zimmerman+s"there was always a business at their new home. as related to us by Frank Zimmerman. We have lived on this road for nearly 23 years and chose this location because it was a quiet, residential area. At first I thought Mr. Zimmerman meant an occasional car would be painted but now he has all the business from Cayuga Motors plus many private cars. If he is allowed to operate as a business what will prevent him from contracting with other car dealers. He now employs one man besides using Mrs. Zimmerman and himself to operate the business. It would mean more paint fumes, more hammering on metal and having more care parked in their side yard ,which is approximately four (4) feet from our garage, and the need to hire more employ- ees. I talked with other neighbors to see how they feel should our area be- come rezoned. They said they hoped it would not become commercialized but since they live a distance from Mr. Zimmerman they do not hear or smell the things I described so therefor do not want to become involved. I feel a business of this size should be located in a business district and not in a residential district. Sincerely, `� a p3Pr St FACTS 1.

There was no paint and body shop business mentioned at that time, later he told us he had, as Mr. Zimmerman called him, a hired hand working with him and that he would like to build a larger garage behind his house to carry on his business. I was bothered by the fumes even before July but held off mentioning the fact due to uneasiness on my part. When he is painting I can not sit in our back yard or work in the garden. 3. Mr. Zimmerman stated he would have to go on public assistance if he was not' allowed to have his body and paint shop because there are, according to him, no jobs available. I contacted the following men: 1. Ted MoCarrick, Auto Body Shop, owner 272-2.9]0 2. Roy Hornbrook, Erie J. Miller A. & B. Shop 273-8585 3. Bob Mix, Mix's Auto Center, owner 257-5454 4. Bob Newport, Newport Chevy, owner 387-6111 5. Harry Guidi, Zakakis Auto Body Shop 272-7853 6. Harry Delibero, N.Y.S. Employment Office 272-7570 Each man told me there are def finitely jobs available for qualified body and paint man. Each man has given permission to use his name and to be contacted to verify my conversation with him. Mr. McCarriok and Mr. Ouidi just recently advertised for body and paint men. No one answered Mr. McCarr- ick's ad. This fact alone proves there are jobs and in no way does Mr. Zimmerman have to go on public assistance as he told his lawyer and the public at the August 9th hearing. Our road seams to have more traffic this past year and now with Mr. Zimmerman's business the traffic has increased more so. Please consider the feolinrs of those who have lived here for no many yearn. The zoning laws state specifically the rules and regulations an to property dis- tances and noise and fume polution regulations. Mr. Zimmermann' business does not meet any of the above standards. This type of business will in no way be beneficial to our area, our property value or to the environment. Sincerely, 3O :Timmerman I;/.A hearing p4 Mr. Mason brought out that since Mr. Stickane had died in 196,, Alan Stickane and his brother, being '7 and 9 years old at that time, were too young to carry on their father's business. Mr. Pattc asked Mr. Zimmerman when he became unemployed. Mr. :Zimmerman said he became unemployed the first of January 1977. Me said he waited two or throe weeks prior to receiving unemployment insurance. Ile also said he had checked with the unemployment office in Ithaca regarding possible employment in his line of work, saving also that he had contacted some of the employers Mrs. Woodams said she called to see if job openings were available. Mr. Patte again spoke of the sale of the house and garage and Mrs. Zimmerman said the real estate agent was not present when she and Mr. Zimmerman went to see the property. Questioned about the Realtors commission,(commercial vs. residential rate), so said that was not brought up in the conversation. Mrs. ® Zimmerman also said they did not know about zoning, and the differences between commercial and residential zones. Mr. Kahn asked if Mr. Zimmerman had a permit (state or local) for doing business - a license to conduct private business. Mrs. Zimmerman said they did not have such a license at present, but they had the forms but had not filled them out or submitted them to the state licensing office. In answer to Mr. Kahn's question as to whether or not the Zimmermans were advertising their business, Mr. Zimmerman said they have a sign on their truck advertising the business along with their telephone number. In answer to Mr. Mason's question, Mr. Zimmerman said they could work on only two cars at one time. Mrs. VanDyk asked when Mr. Zimmerman's unemployment insurance ended, and was advised it ended in April, since he had gone on a self-employed basis. Ile also said he had not looked for employment in any area other than body painting work. Mrs. Robinson asked if they were represented by an attorney when they bought the property and was advised they had an attorney only for the closing of the purchase deal. Mr. Luster asked about going back on unemployment awdwas told by Mr. Zimmerman that he could not because he became self-employed and to get unemployment insurance now he would have to go back to being employed by an industry. Mr. Mason stated that the evidence seemed to indicate two Stickane boys had used the garage more as a hobby, and had not registered it as a body shop operation with the authorities. Mr. Kahn asked if there were state laws regarding the placement of a body paint shop a certain number of feet from other structures. The Town's zoning ordinance specifies 300 feet. Mrs. Zimmerman did not seem ® to know of a state law but said the Hartford Insurance carriers had sent an inspector to the premises who told them to keep paint dust from collecting on an electric motor and that two policies were required, one • for the home and one for the garage operation. Mrs. Woodams said Mr. Robert Newport of the Chevrolet garage in Trumansburg said body shop safety regulations required certain precautions -in the operation of such a shop. Mr. Patte asked Mrs. Woodams when the residence was constructed. Mrs. Stickane said her husband began business operations at that address in 1952, operating part time in TV repair work for four years, then established a body repair and paint shop in the garage. Mr. Patte asked Mrs. Woodams the distance her home was from the garage and she said 40 or 50 feet. There was not zoning in the Township at the time Mr. Stickane started his business. The BMA members then left the hearing for an executive session. Zimmerman hearing UZA 31 s C fl Returning to the hearing room, Mr. Mason asked the secretary to road a resolution and for a decision on the matter. Mr. Kahn then moved the following resolution be adopted: WHEREAS: the applicants, Frank and Susan Zimmerman are owners of Ulysses property, parcel 425-1-16, and have requested a variance for relief of Use regulations as stated under Article VI, Sec 30, and Article III, Secs 3 and 4, of the Ulysses Zoning Ordinance, in order to operate an auto body paint shop in:an area zoned residential, and WHEREAS: the applicants have testified that they purchased the property with the intent of using it as a residence and with only occasional utilization of the auto paint- ing facilities once in use on the premises and abandoned in 1965, and WHEREAS: the applicants have further stated that it later came to pass that they desired to operate the auto painting facilities as a full time business, in addition to the use of the property for residential purposes, and WHEREAS: the Board of Zoning Appeals has heard testimony that said property was not being utilized as a bonafide auto body paint shop business for several years prior to, or at the time of, purchase by the applicants, and WHEREAS: The Board of Zoning Appeals has determined that any such use at this point would be a re -activation of an abandoned non -conforming use (as defined by Article VI, Sec 30 of the Ulysses Zoning Ordinance,) and WHEREAS: the applicants have failed to satisfy this Board that the land in'question cannot yield a reasonable return if used for a purpose permitted in the district in which it is located, and WHEREAS: granting the variance requested would not be in keeping with the spirit of the Ordinance, and would, in fact, alter the essential residential character of the neighborhood by causing the emission of noxious odors and fumes, and could cause an increase in traffic and parking problems, now therefore be it RESOLVED: That the variance requested be denied. Mrs. VanDyk seconded the motion and voting was as follows: Mrs. VanDyk - yes Mrs. Icoskinen - yes Mr. Kahn - yes Mr. Mason - yes Motion for resolution voted and carried unanimously. Hearing then adjourned. Mr. and Mrs. Zimmerman will be advised officially of the action by copy of above resolution. A.

The following claims were presented for study by the Board members; General Fund Nos. 191 through 207 • Highway Fund Nos. 124 through 142 Part Town Fund Nos. 24 through 26 Mr. Smith moved the claims be approved and directed the Supervisor to pay same, Mr. Allen seconded the motion, voted and carried. Justice Roger Rector requested permission to attend the New York State Association of Magistrates at Nevele, NY, on September 18 throug 21, 1977. Mr. Agard moved permission be granted, Mr. Merrick seconded the motion,voted and carried. Mr. Payne then asked for a resolution instructing the Town Attorney to prepare the necessary documents relative to the Marjorie and Allen Grant case. Mr. Smith then moved the following resolution be adopted: RESOLVED: that the Town Attorney is hereby instructed to institute proceedings to enjoin the continued use of lands by Allen and Marjoried Grant contrary to the provisions of the Zoning Ordinance of the Town of Ulysses. Mr. Agard seconded the motion, voted and carried unanimously. Next on the agenda was the matter of inspection and testing of the new Simplex equipment recently installed as a part of the fire alarm system at the Town Bard. Mr. Payne presented a copy of the inspection and test agreement with the Simplex organization in which, for a stipulated fee, the equipment would be inspected on a regular basis. The Board discussed the matter. Mr. Mason suggested the Highway Supt check with the County to see if the Town could tie in with some one else in the County for inspection and testing. Mr. IIoltkamp will check with Mr. John Miller of the County Fire and Disaster Office to learn if some cooperative deal is possible.Mr.Payne said he had checked with the insurance agent, Mr. Joe Farrell, to see if the insurance rates on the Town Bard could be reduced. Mr. Farrell will have that information for the Board at its October 11 meeting. Mr. Haight was next on the agenda, saying, among other things, that the County Board of Representatives had voted to increase the income limitation from $6500 to $7200 as a part of the Real Property Tax Law. • Mr. Herrick asked Mr. Haight what the County Highway Dept could do to make the intersection of the Halseyville Road and Perry City Road safer for traffic, citing the incidence of accidents at that point, some of them resulting in fatalities. Mr. Holtkamp said there are "stop signs ahead" and "stop signs" on the Halseyville Road on both sides of Perry City Road. The corners, however, bacause of the terrain and agricul- tural planting, do not provide visibility for oncoming traffic. Mr. Haight suggested sending a resolution to the Highway Committee of the County Board of Representatives, with a copy to Mr. Frank Liguori, County Planning Commissioner, asking for a re-evaluation of that intersection in the interests of safety. Mr. Herrick then moved the following resolution be adopted: WHEREAS: the intersection of Halseyville Road and the Perry City Road in the Town of Ulysses has presented an unsafe traffic condition resulting in a number of accidents, some with fatalities, therefore be it I ci LJ I 0 0 I Ulysses Tn lid 9-13-77 p2 RESOLVED: that the llighw ay Committee of the Tompkins County Board of Represontativaa and Mr. Prank Liguori County Planning Commissioner, intersection in an effort to devise moans to alleviate the unsafe traffic conditions. Mr. Allan seconded the motion, voted and carried unanimously. Mr. Holtkamp said he had contacted the State Dept of Transportation relative to double line striping of Route 96 through Jacksonville to the Swamp College Road. The State official told him the State crew had made an error in not double striping the highway through the hamlet to the Swamp College Road and that the State would correct this error. Since Mrs. Barbara Smith, who was appointed dog enumerator for the Town of Ulysses at the first of the year, has resigned, the Board appointed Mrs. Elsie Reynolds to replace her. Mr. Golder explained the matter of unsafe defects and obstruction in town roads saying the Town has no liability coverage for claims made by persons travelling on such roads. He asked the Board if they wished to remove the right of persons to bring claims on the Town. Agreeing to consider the enactment of a local law, Mr. Agard moved the following law be considered: zP LOCAL LAW NO. 1 - 1977 Be it enacted by the Town Board of the Town of Ulysses, County of Tompkins and State of New York, as follows: { 1. The title of this Local Law is "Liability of the Town and Town Superintendent of Highways in certain actions". 2. No civil action shall be maintained against the Town or Town Superintendent of Highways for damages or injuries to person or property sustained by reason of any highway, bridge, or culvert being defective, out of repair, unsafe, dangerous or obstructed unless written notice of such defective, unsafe, dangerous or obstructed condition of such highway, bridge or culvert was actually given to the Town Clerk or Town Superintendent of Highways, and that there was a failure or neglect within a reasonable time after the giving of such notice to repair or remove the defect, danger or obstruction complained of; no such action shall be maintained for damages or injuries to person or property sustained solely in consequence of the existence of snow or ice upon any highway, bridge, or culvert, unless written notice thereof, specifying the particular place, was actually given to the Town Clerk or Town Superintendent. of Highways and there was a failure or neglect to cause such snow or ice to be removed, or to make the place otherwise reasonably safe within a reasonable time after the receipt of such notice. 3. This Local Law shall supersede in its application to the Town of Ulysses Subdivision 1 of Section 65-a of the Town Law of the State of New York. 4. This Local Law shall take effect immediately upon its filing in the office of the Secretary of State in accordance with the pro- visions of Section 27 of the Municipal Home Rule Law of the State of New York. ULYSSES TOWN BD 9-13-77 -3 Mr. Flerricl: seconded the motion, voted and carried. There will be a public hearing on this law at 7 p.m. September 28, 1977. Mr. Payne announced a public hearing on budgeting of Revenue Sharing Funds for the year 1978, set for 7:30 p.m. September. 20, 1977, in the Town Flail. .Next on the agenda was the reunmbering of Iradell Road. Mr. Payne presented maps showing the proposed renumbering as set up by the County Planning office. These maps had the renumbering established on a 200 -ft frontage basis. Since the Town Zoning Ordinance has established a 150 -ft frontage, the Board decided to postpone action on the re- numbering until an alternate system could be presented for consideration. Mr. lioltkamp reported on Highway activities for the past month. He said the bafer Roads projects on Iradell and County Line Roads had been completed, and guide rails on the Purling Road bridge had been installed. ® Mrs. Lueder reported on Zoning activities for the past month, saying 15 permits had been issued for new house and garage construction. Mrs. Beers asked the Board for a decision as to whether or not the Board wished to fund tie State mandated Unemployment Insurance or if It wished to let the State fund the insurance with the Town repaying the State. The Board agreed to let the Supervisor make the decision as to the option to be elected. It was the concensun that there probably would not be much advantage in opting for the State handling the un- employement insurance transaction with the Town reimbursing the State. Mr. Payne then reported on a communication from the Economic Opportunity Corporation in Ithaca requesting an appointment from the Town to the Advisory Board of the Tompkins County CHORES/Weatherization Organization. The groups helps eligible low-income home owners weatherize their homes, with priority being given to the elderly, handicapped or ill home owners. Mr. Payne said he had been unable to find a candidate for the appoint- ment and Mr. Herrick said he would attend the organizational meeting set for September 14, 1977. David Cobb, TRUST Youth Center director, reported on activities of that group. There being no further business, meeting adjourned. ALICE B.

When purchased, the ambulance had a projected service life of five years. Although use of the ambulance has been much higher than anticipated, it has in fact served the community well during this time. However, as would any vehicle in heavy use under what are often extreme conditions, the ambulance has recently become subject to expensive mechanical problems. This, in addition to extensive changes in ambulance specifications and vehicle requirements, has prompted the decision by the Fire Company to undertake a program to replace the existing vehicle. During the last five years, the cost of ambulance vehicles have, in many cases, more than doubled. Faced with the monumental task of raising funds to purchase a new ambulance, the Fire Company is exploring all possible avenues. With this in mind, we respect- fully request that you consider allocating $5,000 in Revenue Sharing Funds to the Trumansburg Fire Company, Inc. to be applied toward the purchase of a new ambulance, Thank you for your consideration.

Present at hearing: BZA Chairman James Mason, Seville Reulein, Jr., Laura Koskinen. DZA members absent: Adrienne VanDyk and Peter Kahn. Also present, Sec. A. Doers, Zoning Officer Jeanne Lueder. Guests: Carl and Marcia Keith, Geoffrey Hart, Martin Luster, N. Roy, Pat Roy, Nancy McCarrick, 11. William Smith, Robert C. Herrick, Imo Herrick, Isobel Duddleston, Mary Whitaker, Roger Whitaker, F. McKeel, Arlee Robinson. • Mr. Mason opened the hearing at 7:30 p.m. in the Town Hall. Ile asked Mr. and Mrs. Keith to make a statement relative to their request. • They deferred to Mr. Hart who explained the proposed use of the property. Mr. Hart said there would be a full time staff of 7 people manning the residence, working 3 shifts, 8 a.m. to 4 p.m., 4 p.m. to 12 midnight, 12 midnight to 8 a.m. Ile also said there would be a cool: living en the premises, and a secretary during the day. Mr. I-iart said only the family court can odor placement of the uveniles. Asked about schooling for the children, Mr. Hart said these children would be tutored during the school year, that he was negotiating with the Trumansburg School District authorities for such service, and that children resident at the Creekwood home, which he also operates, arc tutored and receive credit for their work. He also said a full activity program is established, with chores at the residence, school work sessions, exercise periods, recreation time being scheduled for each day. Asked about possible "walk'away" children from the residence, Mr. Hart brought out that the proposed home was in an isolated site, and that not many run -sways had been experinced from the Creekwood home. In case of a run -away, the child had been apprehended by the Croekwood staff in most cases. Ile said the children are not locked in. Mr. Hart also said he retained the right to refuse certain types of cases, that is, he could review the child's case, and refuse to accept children who might cause serious trouble at the home. The mission, he said, was to avoid sending children to other facilities of a lock -up type. If a child makes trouble and leaves the home, the case goes to the judge and the child would be re -placed, or , under certain circumstances, would be kept at the home. The children, Mr. Hart said, would be from 4 counties: Tompkins, Seneca, Tioga and Cortland. Of the six beds available in the home, one bed would be reserved for a child from each of the four counties and the other two beds filled on a "first come - first served" basis. Mr. Hart said the supervision of Goodhope would be higher than that at Creekwood. Ile said the Goodhope project had been incorporated . (he learned on September 27, 1977) by the State Board of Social Work. The purpose of the home is the foster care for delinquent children between the ages of 7 and 16 years.. The average length of stay is one month, the shortest stay just a few days and the longest stay 3 or 4 • months. The children would have had problems at home, been truant, arrested and waiting for investigation of their case. Ile also said he had been told such a home falls into the "family type" residence, and is :_t. considered in other areas as a dwelling with no zoning problems. The Goodhope project is financed by New York State, County and Federal money, he said. Ile is under contract with Cortland, Tioeja, Seneca and 7bmpkins Counties. The first year the project is funded by State and Gederal money (he has received a Federalrgrant) and if Federal money is no longer available after the first year, three counties would themselves fund the project. Keith BZA 10-3-77 Goodhope project p2 In answer to Mr. Mason's question as to a review process for the project, Mr. Hart said such a review is made at the end of 3 months to see if the project is following the proper guidelines as established by State Justice, Youth Division and other State Boards. The Division of Youth licenses the home as a detention care center, and in this case limits the number of potential child residence at one time at G, on the basis of floor space. In answer to Mr. Luster's questions, Mr. Hart said the State Board of Welfare's function is to ascertain the need in the area for a detention foster care home. The children are placed in the home prior to court hearings. Some of the charges against children would be classified as felonies if the same charges were placed against adults. Mr. Hart said the home would be directly supervised by the State Dcard the home would have a Board of Directors, and that he as operator of the home is licenses under the State Division of Youth and is accountable. lie is a contractor to the County, according to State guidelines. In answer to Mrs. Robinson's question, Mr. Hart again said this would be a 6 -bed facility with 10 members total on the staff. In answer to her question as to cost per child for the care, the Board was advised the yearly cost would be $7000 or $8000 total. Mr. Mason asked the daily cost per child, and was advised by Mr. Hart the per diem cost would run between $50 and $60 per bed. Mr. Hart said placing children in a detention foster care home prior to court action pioided exposing the children guilty of minor offenses to being placed in a facility housing more violent types of offenders. Mr. Luster asked if he would have to accept children with more potentially serious offenses and Mr. Hart said new State regula- tions would require this. Mr. Hart said of 150 children at Creekwood, approximately, who have received care there, perhaps as many as 20 had run away. lie was asked if he had accepted cases of car theft and felonycharged children at Creekwood and he said he had. Approximately 50% had been charged with truancy, 1510 with auto theft, 15% with burglery, and or shop -lifting, 20% with arson. Charges included teacher assault, parent assault, etc. Ile said he does not take cases where children have used weapons. Mrs. Robinson asked if the County Board of Health had approved water and ceptic facilities at the property, and was advised approval had been given for 8 or 10 residents. In answer to her question if he had investigated whether or not the facility could be operated only for Tompkins County youth, he said he had not checked on this. Mr. Hart said if Creeks•,00d (which handles children from.7 counties) handled only Tompkins County children, there would be no need for Goodhope. In answer to Mr. Mason's question about his background, Mr. Bart said he had received an MA in pharmacology, PIID in neurobiology, both at Cornell, post doctoral research in mental health and juvenile problems and that he had been associated with the Willard Psychiatric Center. Creekwood, he said, is privately owned and is a profit making center. At Goodhope he will be on salary. Submitted to the DZA were ,petitions signed by about 60 local residents who were not protesting the detention home. The Board then retired for,an executive session. Returning to the hearing, Mr. Mason -nead the following statement: "Nowhere in the Ulysses Zoning Ordinance is a foster care home of "specialized foster care" defined. Special permits are not exceptions to the Zoning Ordinance (as are variances) but rather are a device to impose conditions on permitted uses. The BZZA is empowered to issue special permits only in specific incidences in the ordinance - this case is not one of them, therefore no permit will be issued. Keith I3ZA - Goodhope 10-3-77 p3 "Section 371 of the State Social Services Law defines an "authorized agency" as any group, incorporated under the laws of this State, empoywered by ].aw to care for children, and is supervised by the State Board of Social Welfare. It is our interpretation that Goodhope Youth Home, Inc. is such an agency and it therefore may operate an "Agency Boarding Home", as defined in Subdivision 16 of Section 371 of the Social Services Law without regard to the provisions of a local zoning ordinance.? Voti.ng on the state was as follows: Mrs..Koskinen yes Mr. Reulein yes Mr. Mason yes Statement approved and the Goodhope Youth Home would be allowed to • operate a home as long as the operation is as state n Ail en II.

Mr. Herrick then moved minutes of the September 13 meeting, as typed and distributed to Board members, be approved. Mr. Allen seconded the motion, voted and carried. The following claims were examined by the Board: General Fund Nos 208 though 227 Highway Fund Nos 143 throughl6l Part Town Fund Nos 27 through 28 Revenue Sharing Fund No. 3 Mr. Herrick moved the claims be approved for payment by the Supervisor, Mr. Agard seconded the motion, voted and carried Ulyr+sos Tn Bd 10-11-77 p2 k.fat Mr. Missirian was next on the agenda. He discussed the re -numbering on Iradell Road, suggesting a blocking system of 200 feet instead of the 150 foot lot • frontage on which the Town Zoning Commission had planned. His reasoning was based on the desire of the County Planning Department to have all lot frontages in the County at 200 root, with the lessor foot frontages in the future accepted by zoning ordinance variances. The plan established by the Town originally had the approval of the Sheriffs Department, the fire coordinator for the County and the local fire department. The Ulysses Town Board had agreed by resolution on December 14, 1976, that the renumbering system was desirable and necessary for the health and safety of Town residents on Iradell Road. Mr. Missirian said the County Health Departments Sanitary code re'uires a 200 -foot diameter for a ceptic drainage field, and the County Planning Departments idea for a 200 -foot frontage requirement was based in part on tuts dimension. He said less than that frontage would require sufficient lot width back of the frontage to accommodate the drainage field requirements. Following considerable discussion and answers by Mr. Missirian to questions posed by the Board, Mr. Luster, and others, the Board voted to table any action of the renumbering system until more information is available. Mr. Payne brought up the matter of raising the tax exemption limitation for the Township from $6500 to $7200. The Board asked how much of this affect the Town's Tax rate and Mr. Payne said he would try to determine this figure from the County Assessors office. The matter will be on the Town Board agenda for the November meeting. Mr. Payne then advised the Town would have a public hearing on the 1978 budget on November 10, 1977, at 7 p.m. Because of election day falling on the regular Town Board meeting date, the Town Board will have its regular meeting at 8 p.m. on November 10 following the budget hearing, and will be so advertised. Mr. Cox reported the transfer of the %TV cable owndership from Cerrachi to ATC was to take place on October 12, 1977, and that a Commission meeting has been set for December 1 to frame a common franchise for all communities to be serviced by that corporation. David Cobb reported on Youth Center activities for the past month and anncunced he would be leaving as Center coordinator and woul be replaced by Sue Robinson who would be assuming that position in 10 days time. She will be introduced to the Board at its November meeting. Mr. Cobb thanked the Board and the community in general for its support in the acitivities of the Center. Mr. Payne read a letter from Mr. John Sterling, Town representative to the County Youth Board, copy attached. Mrs. Lueder reported on zoning activities for the past month. Mr. Holtkamp reported on Highway Dept activities, saying the Safer Roads project had been completed He said he had talked to the Tompkins County Highway engineer, Mr. Hobbs, regarding the Perry City-Halseyville Roads intersection. It was suggested that the Halseyville Road on each side of the intersection be oiled and stoned for 20 feet, omitting this for another 20 feet, and then oiled, and stoned for the last 20 feet to the intersection. It was also suggested that oversized stop signs be placed on the Halseyville Road and that the State Police suggested changing the signs once in a while to further attract drivers' attention to the dangers of the intersection. Mr. Holtkamp also said he had called the Simplex repairman for a problem in the new system, that the rate charges were $23/hr plus 16¢/mile for 55 miles. The Town was not billed for this, however, since the system is under warranty until April 30, 1978. ® Mrs. Dimick expressed her concern that the Auble Mobil Home Park had exceeded the limit of 39 units as stipulated in the Town's approval of the site. She said there were 44 units on the site at this time andshe believed eletrical set-ups for more had been placed. Mrs. Lueder will investigate and take appropriate action. Mrs. Dimick also asked if a "children at play" sign could be placed on Route 96 at the northern and of the street where a day care mother is operating a center. She was advised this matter would fall under the jurisdiction of the State Transportation Dept, and that the Village was considering lowering the speed limit at that end of the village to 30 miles per hour. There being no further business, Mr. Allen moved for adjournment, Mr. Herrick seconded and meeting adjourned, PATRICIA VAN LIFW, Deputy Town Clerk for Alice B.

The Board will take any action necessary on this matter at its December meeting. Mr. Allen asked about the matter of renumbering on lots on Iradell Road, saying the Board did not wish to change the Zoning Ordinance frontage requirements from 150 to 200 feet. It was the belief of the Board that it would not matter if the County Planning Board wished to renumber residences on Iradell Road on the basis of 200 -ft frontage. Mr. Payne is to check with the County Planning Office since that body had presented the Town Board with a renumbering system based on the 150 -ft frontage prior to their proposed 200 -ft frontage system.

Guests: Mr. and Mrs. Cecil Teeter, Carlton Smith, Adam and Ethel Bucci, Donald and Donna Parker, Arlee Robinson, Ed Szabo, Renate Thayer, Dora Donovan. Mr. Payne read notice of hearing. Mr. Teeter presented maps of property and explained placement of two "mobil homes" on the property, one being placed on one portion of his property as a home for him and his wife and the other placed on a second portion of his property as a home for his daughter. Pertinent documents accompanied his requests: sewage construction permit, letters from people of the area who expressed no objection. Mr. Payne advised the Planning Board had approved the Planned Development district. Mrs. Robinson questioned the lot number accuracy, saying the lot number in the application and in the legal notice were not that of the property location indicated on the map. Consultation of tax maps and property identification on same revealed Mr. Teeter had made an error in;identifying his property location. I Mr. Golder then said another hearing should be held with the legal notices to be published carrying the exact location of the property in question. Mr. Smith then moved the Board take no action at this hearing but re -advertise for another public hearing, Mr. Agard seconded the motion, voted and carried. Mr. Payne then announced the next public hearing for ugust 9, 1977, at 7 p.m. in the Town Hall. A. Beers, sec. During executive session of the Town Board with the Attorney, the Board examined the specifications for the so-called "mobil homes" in the process of being purchased by Mr. Teeter, and discovered Mr. Teeter had improperly identified the structures. Specification for ® the structures indicated they should properly be called "modular homes", and as such, would not require a Planned Development District but instead could he approved by the issuance of building permits from the Zoning officer.

Also zoning Officer Jeanne Lueder, Deputy Zoning officer David Cowan. The hearing opened with Mr. Mason asking Mr. Teeter questions about the property. Mr. Teeter said he owns the entire property listed on the application, that he plans a modular home on one portion of the property for himself and that he plans to have a modular home on another portion of the property for his daughter. He said wells have been dug, the ceptic system approved by the Health Department and placed, and that basements have been dug and cement poured for the modular homes. Board members asked him further questions about property dimensions, front and side yard distances from the proposed placement of the modular homes. Maps and other pertinent documents attached to application. Mrs. Robinson asked if the structures to be placed on the property were mobil homes or modular homes. Mr. Mason said that question was not a concern of this hearing. Mrs. Robinson then asked if a use variance was more appropriate than an area variance, again bringing up the question of the type of structures to be placed on the property. Mr,. Mason again indicated the type of structures were not the matter before the Board at this hearing. Mr. Parker indicated his belief construction has been started since the basements were already in place. It was brought out that building permits had been applied for but had not been issued by the Zoning Officer. The Board then recessed for an executive session. Upon returning to the hearing, Mr. Mason asked the secretary to read a proposed resolution: WHEREAS: the applicant, Cecil Teeter, is the owner of Ulysses property, parcel # 34-3-25, and has requested an area variance for relief of dimensional requirements as stated under Article IV, sec Ba, of the Ulysses Zoning Ordinance, because of "practical difficulties" and WHEREAS: the Board of Zoning Appeals has determined that the variance requested, although substantial, does not alter the spirit of the ordinance in that the land in question requires only access to the highway, and is itself fully in keeping with all other dimensional requirements set forth by the ordinance; the access provided is sufficient according to State statutes to provide ingress and egress of emergency vehicles, and WHEREAS:.: the effect of the variance, if allowed, would not increase population density and its effects beyond the limits imposed by the ordinance, and Zoning Report for October{ During October I have been working on violations and checking the building permits issued recently. There were 5 violation notices issued and a letter of non-compliance mailed. Three of these have been cleared up, one man asked for an extension due to illness. • I issued four building permits during the month and have worked with Mr. Golder on several problems. There was a BZA meeting scheduled this wonth•'which required some preparation and it seems that we have had BZA appeals nearly every month this year. This seems to tell me that there are probably going to be more right along from now on, since none of them are really unusual cases, just the normal requests of residents to do something new in their areas. Respectfully submitted, Jeanne Lueder, Zoning Officer. n October 12, 1977. RECEIVED OCT 14 1977 Ulysses Town Board Elm Street Trumansburg, DI. Y.14886. TOWN OF ULYSSES The New York State Legislature has raised the income eligibility ceiling for Senior Citizens' real property tax exemption from X6,500 to .97,200. Recently the Tompkins County Board of Representatives voted to apply this to County Taxes. We believe the Ulysses Town Board will be considering this legisla- tion as it applies to Ulysses Town Taxes. In debating the question, .,you :riay wish to take into consideration the following facts, 1. When there was a recent increase in the Social Security pensions, it placed some persons in a higher income level and as a result they were no longer eligible for real estate tax exemption. 2. If some elderly people cannot pay their real estate taxes and are transferred from their homes to homes for the elderly, the cost to the public will be higher. We anticipate that the Ulysses Town Board will approve this change as it applies to Ulysses Town Taxes. fl a4-& ett4 6. �! -c' s�' po 17 Q ` -u ``e} r TOWN OF ULYSSES PUBLIC HEARING for 1978 BUDGET November 10, 1977 0 rn ITi Supervisor Bruce M.

He then read Mrs. Lueder's report on her findings relative to the Leisure Living Estates, and a report given to Mrs. Lueder by Mr. Auble. Mr. Payne then asked for comments from those present at the hearing. Mr. Robinson spoke first saying he was a resident of the Park, had no troubles living there, and likes it. Mr. J. Richar spoke next, saying an agreement had been reached between Mr. Auble and the Village for water and sewer service prior to opening of the Park. He said these facilities were adequate for the antici- pated expansion of the Park. He also said Mr. Auble installed sewer facilities at his own expense and to required specifications, and that the sewer facility in the Park had no adverse effect on capabilities of sewer functions in the Village. Mr. Rice said he was on the Town Board when the Park question came up, that the County Planning Office had approved the plans relative to fire lanes and other safety features and had approved the proposed expansion of the Park. Mr. Rice also said the Town Board had at that time also approved the expansion when housing demands so indicated. He also said he believed the Town and Village area needed the housing facilities provided by the Park. Mrs. Ginnever was next to speak, saying the Park facilities met the needs of many people. Mr. O'Dea also spoke, saying he now lives in the Park, finding it answered his needs since he was no longer physically able to maintain a residence such as the one he owned prior to moving to the Park. He said he had looked at other Parks in the County and found this one to be the best, and that he had no complaints regarding noise, upkeep, etc. He said roads were plowed, and thought it an ideal spot for senior citizens. Mrs. Raymond disputed the number of children in the park, and said there were only 7 senior citizens on the Tompkins County side. Mr. Conklin, neighbor of Leisure Living park, commended Mr. Auble on care of the park, but he said he thought consideration should be made •for more play space for children, regardless of the number in the park, and possibly such area could be a recreation area for both younger and older residents. Mr. Raymond admitted it was a nice trailer park but said trailers there needed skirting; he recommended better lighting, and spoke of the traffic, Peter Ginnever, resident in the park, said many people turn off the street lights in front of their areas because of the high cost of operation. He spoke of "peeping toms". Mr. O'Dea saiOhlights would not affect "peeping toms" acitivities, that they operate over the village. Mr. Raymond said Mr. Auble had not followed regulations of the Mobile Home Ordinance. TnUlysses Pubfearing 11-22-77 p2 {�.?

Mr. Auble said electric service is underground, that the NYState Gas and Electric makes a study prior to electric and gas lines being laid. Mr Richar said if expansion increases he recommends the creation of a water and sewer district by the Town in conjunction with the village After more comments by the audience, none of which seemed to be against the enlargement of the park, Mr. Allen moved for adjournment, Mr. Smith seconded the motion, voted and carried. Mr. Payne said the Board would take action on Mr. Aubles request for an additional 108 trailer sites in the park at the cember 13 meeting. A� Beers, sec attached: statement of Mrs. Lueder's findings statement from Mr. Auble LI n Pr RECEIVED NOV 1 1977 o Ulysses Town Board Trumansburg, New York Bruce Payne, Supervisor Gentlemen; Z0WLL OE ULYSSES I have been in quite close touck with the Leisure Living Estates Trailer Park during my term as Zoning Officer. I have tried to inspect it, as I do the others, at least three times a year. Usually during the Winter, Summer and late fall. On these occasions I have found the Park to be in good condition and have never had cause to report any serious problems. This fall it was in excellent condition with all properties very well kept. Up until this fall there were only 37 of the 39 spaces filled. Since most of the residents in the Ulysses part of the park are Senior Citizens it would seem totally unnecessary to require a formal play- ground to be established in the Park. There is an adequate amount of undeveloped area for play, and the liability for a formal play area would greatly raise the cost of operation, which would in turn only have to be passed along to, the renters. By the same findings, I would not recommend establishing laundry facilities since we have two very adequate operations in the village and since several of the residents prefer to have their own laundry facilities in their trailers. I have talked with several residents of the Park who seem to be very happy as they are. Therefore it is my recommendation that Mr. Auble be allowed to proceed as the demand for spaces increases in the future. 10/31 177 Resbectfully submitted Lueder d Je n/ Ulysses Zoning Officer. �p I4-7 o4ag, /q77 3�aq, sa , 2g -7t C 1) t� L P�e�wa J U�Z� O t 2-1 J _ TOWN OF ULYSSES ZONING BOARD OF APPEALS Public Hearing Decemb er 1, 1977 Purpose of Hearing: Petition of Robert A.

Mr. Malkovsky said he wished to erect a pole barn, dimensions 60 x 162 feet, on 4 acres, approximately, he will purchase from Mr. Don White if variance is granted. This 4 acres, more or less, is a part of the 50 acres of farm land he is currently leasing from Mr. White.

He said Mr. White had constructed a barn on the 50 acres for Mr. Malkovsky to use to shelter his horses. He also said he had used this property for the past 8 years. He has a ten=year lease, 5 years of which have expired. Mr. Malkovsky also said the pole barn he wishes to construct will contain a 60x36 area at one end which will be used for box stalls, with the remaining area being used as an arena for the exercise and training of horses. The Board asked Mr. Malkovsky if he had plans to purchase the balance of the 50 acres, or any part of it. Mr. Malkovsky said he had a verbal option to purchase the balance of the property if and when Mr. Don White agrees to sell. The Board asked Mr. Malkovsky to provide it with a written agreement, which Mr. Malkovsky agreed to do. Copy of petit£tion and notarized option to buy additional acreage is attached.

The Board had received a request from Judge Betty Friedlander for the designation of a Town representative to the newly established Advisory Council to the Tompkins County Family Court. Mr. Payne had previously contacted Mr. Herbert W. Haight, former Town Justice, and retiring member of the County Board of Representatives, if he would accept the appointment.

Next on the agenda was discussion of the need for a "buzzer system" to be placed on the phones in the Town Clerk's office and the office of the Supervisor. During the discussion the subject came up about the placement of an extension phone in the office of the Town Justices. Mr. Smith then moved that the Trumansburg Home Telephone Company be requested to install the "buzzer system" and that the Justices officially request an extension phone be installed in their office. (Copy of letter from Justice Rice making such request is attached.) Such an extension phone would enable the Justices to answer phone calls placed to them during Justice Court nights without having to unlock the offices of the Town Supervisor or the Town Clerk. Mr. Agard seconded the motion, voted and carried. Mr. Herrick then requested Mrs. Beers to read a communication from fir. John Sterling, Town Representative to the County Youth Bureau and interim chairman of that body. Copy of Mr. Sterling's letter attached. Mr. Agard then introduced Mr. John Gaines, County Youth Bureau director, who advised the Board of the purposa:s and activities of his office, as established by the County Board of Representatives. His office will be located in the "Tin Can", 1701 No Cayuga Street, Ithaca, and he will Ulysses TnBd 12-13-77 p3 advise the Supervisor's office of his telephone number when a phone is installed for him. He said his office was not established to create another "large Bureaucrocacy" in the County but organized wtth.minimal staff. The primary function of the Bureau is to assist existing Youth programs in the County, advise on the use of money and the meeting of the needs of the youth in the County. A key aspect of the County Bureau, he said, was the existance of a County Youth Bureau Board, with representatives from each municipality in the County. Next on the agenda was the matter of transfer of funds prior to the end of the year. Mr. Allen moved the following resolution be adopted: RESOLVED: that the Town Supervisor be authorized to transfer funds from the Federal Revenue Sharing Anti -Recession account to the Highway personnel accounts to re-imburse those accounts for salaries paid for part time employees; and transfer of a portion of said funds to the Genera. Fund account for re-imbursement of $750.00 paid for the services of the Glenwood School summer program director for 1977. Mr. Smith seconded the motion, voted and carried. Mr. Agard then moved the following resolution: RESOLVED: that the Town Supervisor be authorized to transfer funds from the State Revenue Sharing Anti -Recession monies received to the General Fund to reimburse the account for the salary of the Deputy Town Clerk, an amount exceeding the $2000 budgeted for 1977. This action is required because of the illness of the Town Clerk and the necessity for the Deputy Town Clerk to conduct the Town Clerk's duties on a full time basis. Mr. $mith seconded the motion, voted and carried. Mr. Smith then moved the following resolution: RESOLVED: Funds approved in the ].977 General Fund budget in the amount of $10,000 be transferred to the Highway account. Mr. Allen seconded the motion, voted and carried. Mr. Herrick adised that Mr. Payne had set the hearing date for the Revised Town Zoning and Mobil Home Ordinances for January 9, 1978, at 7:30 p.m. in the Town Hall, such hearing date required since the previously published public hearing was cancelled because of weather conditions. Miss Susan Robinson, Youth Center Coordinator, was next on the agenda She submitted to the Board a report of the Center's activities for the past year as well as a report for the month of November. She also advised the Board that Mrs. Doris Broadwell, Mr. Ray Pompillio and Mrs. Gayla Miller have agreed to serve on the Board for TRUST. The Town Board will make the official appointments of the above persons at its January meeting. Because of the conflicts created in accommodating facilities of the Town Hall on Tuesday nights by the Town Board meeting and the Justice • Rice's Court night, Mr. Agard moved that Mr. Rice's Town Justice Court night be moved to Thursday nights in the Town Hall, if Mr. Rice did not object to such move. Mr. Allen seconded the motion. Effective date of such move will be January 1, 1978. Mr. Agard also suggested the sign on the Town Hall be change to agree with this action. (NOTE: Mr. Rice has agreed to change.) Mr. Holtkamp reported on Highway activities of the vast month. He also reported that damage of $2000 -+ were received by the Town pick up when he was hit by another vehicle at I the intersection of Curry Road and Rte 227. He said Mr. Howard Willard estimates the truck could not be repaired before some time in March. The truck has 42,000 miles on it at present. He also said the insurance adjustor had not yet seen the truck. Mr. Allen voiced the opinion the Board should use the insurance adjust funds for a down payment on a new 1/2 ton truck and advertise for bids on the disposal of the damaged truck "as is". After some discussion of the matter Mr. Smith moved the Board seek bids for a new 1/2 ton truck, and offer the damaged truck for sale by bid. Mr. Agard seconded the motion, voted and carrid. Mr. Merrick then sot the date for bid openings for 7 p.m. January 9, 1978, in the Town Hall. This would give the Town Board the opportunity to take action on bids at its meeting on January 10, 1978, regular meetAg Ulysses Tn Bd 12-13-77 p4 ,5-3 Mrs. Lueder reported on Zoning activities for the past month, copy of report an file in Supervisor's office. Rr. Lueder also asked the Board about the disposition of the Zimmerman and Grant cases, and requested the Board to have the Town Attorney advise the Board about same. The Board requested a letter be written to the Town Attorney aking him to advise the Town Board as to the status of the Zimmerman and Grant cases. Such letter will be drafted. Li I LJ Mrs. Beers was asked to read a letter from the County Environmental Management Council requesting the re -appointment or the appointment of a new representative from the Town to that body. After a brief discussion of the matter the Board decided to table action on this communication until the January 10, 1978, meeting of the Board. Mr. Mason said the Fire Company had placed its order on December 12 for a new ambulance, modular type, at a cost of $33,000. Delivery date is expected in May or June. He also said the Fire Company is $10,000 short in having enought funds for the ambulance and that they planned a fund drive in January to obtain funds. He also said he understood the "Jaws of Life" campaign for funds was about half way through. Mr. Herrick asked if the Towns of Covert, Hector and Schuyler County had donated funds for the new ambulance, since portions of those Townships are serviced by the Trumansburg Fire Co as fire Districts and also are served by the ambulance. Mr. Mason said the fire iprotection contracts now in effect were established prior to the ambulance service, hence did not include mention cf ambulance service in conjunction with fire protection. There being no further business, Mr. Allen moved for adjournment, Mr. Smith seconded the motion, meeting adjourned. ab aO-- ta+t O4�u PATRICIA VAN LIEW Deputy Town Clerk TO: Ulysses town Board FROM: John C. Sterling DATE: December 13, 1977 RE: County Youth Bureau The Following actions have been taken by the County Youth Bureau since your last meeting. Youth Bureau Director After screening and interviewing several candidates, as interim Chairman of the County Youth Bureau, I recommended to Hugh MacNeil the appointment of John Gaines. John comes from a rural background and has experience with rural youth. He impressed me as a young man who wants to work. I have worked with John on some general orientation, His office will be in the Tin Can. I expect he will be meeting with you this evening. Proposals A proposal to fund e. prc.,;ra_m developed bt.- the City Youth 3ureju in cooperation with the Probation Department was approved- but\%'ill be conducted under the general sponsorship of the County Youth Bureau, The program will place 5 youth presently under the auspices of the Probation Department into employment with Budi- iness and Industry. Those funds are special, one-time funds made available through the State Division For Youth for a one year period. Another proposal by the City to use County Youth Bureau Recreton,FV^^:a C d t''C. illec l - (transferring funding fro municipality to municipality. Youth Board Members We understand the City of Ithaca has 3 of the 5 positions on our Board named by the Mayor, although this is not confirmed, �ryttit xfTrv.-t.ayw.� The u has not filled the vacancy created by Jim Vorp'a resignation. Since I have been getting calls on Village questions and concerns with the Youth Bureau, any help the Town can give to encourage a replaeemont to Vorp at a very early dote would be greatly appreciated. Cayuga Heights and Caroline ha vc yet to name members. Town Budget Requests Requests for Town Recreation Funds should have been submitted to the New York State Division for Youth by this time. If the Town has not done so, action should be taken this evening. The New York State Division for Youth Representative attending our last meeting could not recall whether or not the Ulysses request was in his office. Comprehensive Youth Services Plan One of the first major tasks of the Youth Bureau Board will be the development of a Comprehensive County -wide Youth Services Plan. In all probability many people and groups will be involved in the study and plan. It would be well to begin thinking of individuals in the Town of Ulysses who might be of help on this study. We will have details later or John may have additional information. Again, I!m sorry I'm out of town again this evening. Somedny I'll report in personl OQr next meeting is December 19, if you have any questions or concerns. TOMPKINS COUNTY ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT COUNCIL December 2, 1977 TO: Town Supervisors, City and Village Mayors RECEIVED DEC 3 1977 TOWN OF ULYSSES FROM: James C. White, Chairman RE: Representation on the Environmental Management Council At the end of December 1977, the terms of office of the Environmental Management Council members as appointed by the Board of Representatives will expire. This affords you the opportunity of reappointing your present representative or appointing another individual to serve for the next term. It is hoped that you will evaluate the effectiveness of your repre- sentative and then send your recommendation ifo the Council so we, in turn, can recommend to the Board of Representatives that they can make the official appointments.

ULYSSES TOWN BOARD s PUBLIC IIEAlZI14G January 9, 1978 SUBJECT OF HEARING: Revised and amended Zoning Ordinance and Mobile Home Ordinance. Present at Hearing: Supervisor Bruce 17. Payne, Councilmen: J. Frederick Allen, H. William Smith, William Agard, Robert C. Herrick. Also present: Highway Supt. Rolf A. Holtkamp, Zoning Officer Jeanne Lueder, Town Attorney Arthur Golder, Jr., Chairman Dora Donovan and Madeline Lutz of the Revision Commission, Chairman Adrienne'VanDyk, Peter Kahn and Merle C. Stillions of the Zoning Board of Appeals, Thomas E. Gell of the Planning Board, Garrison Evans of the County Planning Board, Charles Lueder, Henry Taraszlciewicz, Ted Vermeulen, Robert Richenburg, Lilla Licht of Free Press, Bob Lynch of WTKO, Town Clerk Marilyn E. Ough. Supervisor Bruce M. Payne called the hearing to order and read legal notice before turning meeting over to Dora Donovan, Chairman of the Revision Commission. Mrs. Donovan spoke briefly on why the Revision Commission was appointed -- inconsistancies and errors in the present ordinance making it difficult to enforce and it had been several years (Sept. 12, 1972) since the ordinance had been revised. This revision and amended Zoning Ordinance has been in the works three years. The Committee consulted with the County Planning Board and submitted it to the Town Board. Mrs. Donovan then went over the additions and correct- ions made in the ordinance. Lilla Licht questioned in Section I the limited definition of 'Building'. After considerable discussion the Town Attorney stated it was a reason- able definition. The next question was raised by Jeanne Lueder regard- ing Section 9 - Statement of Compliance. She expressed concern over the wording in the first sentence regarding moving in to any part until completed. Much discussion followed, pointing out that many have a contractor put up a home leaving owners to finish inside. Town Attorn- ey Arthur Golder agreed that the wording was restrictive. More comments followed with the decision made to remove the first sentence of Section 9. Mr. Herrick questioned the use of "substantial justice done" in the last paragraph of Section 10 - Board of Appeals. It was, pointed out that it is the same wording as appears in state guidelines. Section 16 - Residence Districts, item H: Jeanne Lueder asked whether or not exsisting greenhouses must have a special permit. Mrs. Donovan responded, no - they would be non -conforming. Under item K Mrs. Licht wondered about homes for young people (disturbed, physically handicap- ped). Mrs. Donovan said they were not covered under K. After a dis- cussion it was decided to add Juvenile or to Adult foster home and leave the number of persons the same. Item P, #5 brought comment on the meaning of harbored and it was de- cided that the Commission would work on rewording that section. Section 17, item C brought comment from Garrison Evans. He believed it should be 'Special Permit' not Use Variance. Mrs. Licht pointed out the advantage of Special Permit is that it expires on sale of property while the Use Variance continues even after sale. There was much discussion. The Town Attorney stated that there were possible dangers and there should be further discussion by the commission. Mr. Herrick requested • definitions of Special Permit and Use Variance. Mr. Golder pointed out they were defined in Section 12 and 13. Mr. Evans said the Use Variance was a judicial procedure while the Special Permit is application of the Ordinance. Mr. Gell suggested we leave item C as is. Mrs. Donovan said they would work on it. Mrs. Lueder questioned the enforcing of Section 19. Mrs. Donovan said we could try and it could always be removed if it proved unenforceable. Section 21 - "Property Purchased on or after 8-17-77". There was much discussion on the use of "on municipal water and sewer" - items b & d. It was concluded that since contamination is the concern "and sewer" should be removed. Section 53, item b, #1: Mr. Gell pointed out that the title of the commission should be corrected to read - State Regional Park & Recreation Commission. A short recess followed completion of reading of additions and correct- ions of the Zoning Ordinance. Ulysses Town Board Public Hearing - 1-9-711 page 2 jr'1 ilefore the rending of the additions and corrections of the Mobile Home Park Ordinance Mrs. Licht asked if there was any way to prohibit de- velopers from removing topsoil - which they sell off - leaving the now homeowner to purchase topsoil to landscape. Mrs. Donovan said the Commission would discuss. I LJ I S C Mrs. Donovan proceeded with the reading of the ordinance changes. Mrs. Lueder questioned the use of "not less than 750 square foot of ground floor area" as the basis for a mobile home since the most standard size is 12' x 60' which equals 720 square feet, overall area. After a dis- cussion it was decided to lower the square footage to 720. It was pointed out that owners can tt an area variance if their mobile home is less. e9.tp c Upon completion of the reading '' Mrs. VanDyk asked if it was possible to include landscaping, as the parks look so barren without. After a discussion Mr. Evans was asked to submit County landscape criteria to the Commission and they would discuss further. There being no further comments Mrs. Donovan adjourned the hearing. �wk„ue.d- vial �eal�L mu mo¢iS±joes' 'I mM�flalr. Now si 2$ 0777 Marilyn E. Ough Town Clerk Lapel Notice.

Ulysses Town Board 1-17-78 pg. 4 L l local law would provide an economical way to present the revised ordinances to the public. After some discussion Mr. I ferrick made a motion, seconded by Mr. Smith, voted and carried, that the Town • Board act to adopt the following proposed Local Law No. 1 of 1978, subject to public hearing at 7:30 p.m. February 14, 1978, prior to regular Board Meeting at 8 p.m. on that date: A Local Law providing for the publication of a notice and a brief description of ordi- nances of the Town of Ulysses. BE IT ENACTED BY THE TOWN BOARD OF THE TOWN OF ULYSSES AS FOLLOWS: SECTION 1. PURPOSE: Every ordinance and every amendment or supplement to an ordinance hereafter adopted or approved by the Town Board of the Town of Ulysses which is or may be required to be pub- lished in one or more newspapers to make such ® ordinance, amendment or supplement effectual, shall not be so published in full, but shall be suffi- • cient to publish in such newspaper or newspapers a notice setting forth the title thereof, a brief description of the provisions thereof and a state- ment that the full text thereof is on file and may be inspected in the office of the Town Clerk. SECTION 2, AUTHORITY: This Local Law shall super- sede in any application to the Town of Ulysses the provisions of Sections 133, 264 and 265 of the Town Law relating to publication only of an ordi- nance, amendment or a supplement to an ordinance adopted or approved by the Town Board.

Mr. Sterling reported that the County Youth Board would be working on the first draft of their Constitution and By -Laws next Monday night. As far as guidelines to youth projects he believed the cri- teria should be based on: 1. What are the young people doing? --- their own projects or are decisions being made by groups not closely involved? (He sug- gested that some of the young people attend Board meetings.) 2. What are characteristics of the young people? Are they in- volved in other activities? 3. What kinds of programs have developed? Are they helping the young people? What is their leadership and supervision? 4. The County Youth Board comprehensive plan for the county. There being no further business Mr. Allen moved that the meeting be adjourned. Mr. Agard seconded the motion, voted and carried. Ma ilyn E. Ougl Town Clerk ., October 21, 1977 Mr. William C. Hennessy, Commissioner NYS Department of Transportation 1220 Washington Avenue State Campus Albany, NY 12232 Dear Mr. Hennessy: The Tompkino County Environmental Management Council voted at their October General Meeting to call your attention to the EMC position regarding Route 96 north of Ithaca and the octopus problem. The Council felt the best way to do this would be to send you a copy of our original letter to Mr. Joseph Powers. While the letter was written a year ago, the Council is still in agreement with this statement. We feel that the problems involved need to be addressed singly and as a group. The problems are: (1) the railroad crossing which must be elevated, (2) the octopus, (3) Cliff Street and (4) access to the hospital. In general we would support any plan which would solve these problems with minimum impact on the tax base and the general invironment. Sincerely, James C. White Chairman Encl. , JCW:bjk November 22,.1976 Mr. Joseph Powers, Regional Director NYS Department of Transportation 333 East Washington Street Syracuse, NY 13201 Dear Mr. Powers: The Tompkins County Environmental Management Counca.'i has taken the following position regarding route 96.. Everyone agrees that some'transportation plan to eliminate.the present "octopus," make a more efficient crossing of the Cayuga Inlet and flood relief channel, avoid delays by railroad traffic and provide a faster and safer access to the county hospital is desirable. The apparent present restriction to limiting construction to thepresently authorized corridor presents a problem. There may be some reason to question the necessity of a new four - lane arterial highway as a north -south alternate•to present routes 96 and 89 (or complete reconstruction of a portion of route 96 for that purpose), but it is our understanding that federal and state funding is only available for highway construction which meets federal require- ments for high speed arterial highways, and that if the water -way and railroad crossing and road to the hospital are not constructed accord- ing to these federal specifications the construction will have to be financed by local funds,.even though the object is the elimination of the unsafe."octopus" which was originally constructed with federal money. It is submitted that a study should be made with reference to financing alternatives in the event the new north -south arterial (reconstruction of, part of route 96) is not deemed expedient. If it is decided to reconstruct and reroute .route 96 as far north as the hospital, then we feel that immediate attention should be given to broadening the corridor in which the construction can take place. Every effort. should be made to change the corridor even though. Lt may* result in'somq.delay. It is more important to have a road which will solve the problem'even though it takes time to get it than it is to have a road and water -way crossing now which may not remedy the defective situation. It is understood that the BOR arrangement regarding Cass Park is partially responsible for the present corridor limitation that has been set up for route 96. The Council does not approve of these restrictions and feels that there has been inadequate consideration of alternatives Mr. Joseph Powers Page 2 November 22, 1976 outside the corridor. A possible route might be one northwest from Meadow Street, traversing Esty Street, Cascadilla Street, and the northernmost tip of the island. This alternative would appear to have far less impact on commercial and residential holdings. The Council is prepared to seek Federal legislation to enlarge the corridor to the north so that such possibilities may be explored. Further, it is felt that high volume traffic which is most appropriately located on main arteries of the city, should not be directed to urban residential streets.. .such as Buffalo and Court Streets. Commercial and residential structures that would be condemned or destroyed for the construction of the highway will result in a tax base loss. The highway should be locatedso as to minimize this loss to the city and county. The Council feels that the highway should cross the island in a way that allows for the greatest potential in commercial development. A major need is to provide reasonably easy movement of traffic around the southern end of the lake.. The.northern site would avoid congestion, save many miles of automobile traffic and limit the noise and pollution in what is now a residential area. It is hoped.that the forested area along the Lehigh Valley Right-ot- Way and lying in the 96 corridor will be preserved as much as possible in order to serve as a visual barrier to the highway. There is further con- cern for preserving the Right -of -Way as a safe alternative to Route 89 for bicyclists and cross country skiiers and hikers. The Council. feels that •the preservation of the Paleontological Institute should be a prime consideration ii siting the road and considers the route which .threatens its functions as unacceptable. This institute has an out- standing reputation in the whole world, is.presently a most attractive and functional physical operation and should be preserved and encouraged. One of the primary local reasons for. supporting the relocation of route 96 would be to facilitate access to the.hospital. A location south of the hospital would appear to minimize travel time to the hospital, cost of con- struction and undesirable impacts on surrounding residential areas. It appears the most logical entry to the hospital from 96.would.be just outside the corridor on the west boundary of the Odd. Fellows Home property. This would minimize the noise and vibration disturbance at the hospital. It is hoped that as the design process progresses, any changes or updated impacts on traffic.flow or specific residential and commercial properties will be publicized and that such impacts will be minimized to protect local interests and preserve the development plans for the community. Sincerely, JAMES C. WHITE Chairman . cc: Route.96 Consensus Committee I TOMPKINS COUNTY ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT COUNCIL February 25, 1977 TOMPKINS COUNTY ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT COUNCIL EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE RESOLUTION REGARDING ROUTE 96 NORTE WHEREAS, the proposed alternate routes for the urban Route 96 project are not acceptable to the Tompkins County Environmental Management Council, and WHEREAS, each of the routes within the DOT corridor has serious effects on homes and businesses and fails to alleviate the traffic congestion, and WHEREAS, it is very important that the road be constructed where it logically belongs, to the north of the present corridor, therefore be it RESOLVED, that.. Tompkins County Environmental Management Council Executive Committee reaffirms Council's previous position of November 11, 1976 that alternate routes outside the corridor should be seriously considered, and be it further RESOLVED, by the Tompkins County Environmental Management Council Executive Committee that the Tompkins County Board of Representatives immediately take whatever steps necessary to meet with the local governmental units directly invclved (the City of Ithaca and the Town of Ithaca) to unite in pursuing the necessary changes so that this can be accomplished with relatively little delay.

Francis Wright, Supervisor Ut u� may" Town of Danby U ULYSSES FROM. Hugh Hurlbut Commissioner of Personnel RE: UNEMPLOYMENT INSURANCE Regarding. your inquiry on unemployment ini5urance benefits, there are two methods available' for a municipality, beginning January 1, 1978 ..• The first is the contribution tax method which would require a municipality to pay 3.7 percent of the first $6,000 of earnings of each of its employees regardless of its employment experience. The second method is called the benefit reimbursement method and the municipality would be required to reim- burse the Labor Department for its actual benefits paid to former employees and charged to the municipality's account. To elect this option, the Town must advise the Department of Labor before April 30, 1978, that it elects the benefit reimbursement option. My personal opinion is that in a municipality such as the Town of Danby, the second option is by far a better plan than the contribution tax method.

BOARD MEETING January 5, 1978 Members present: Doris Broadwell, Tom Lange, Carl Mann, Gayla Miller Summary; After discussion regarding heating problems and damage done to the Center by the young people, the Board voted unanimously to close the Center as of January 31, 1978. Tom Lange will deliver a letter of termination to Peter Dumont, the property business manager. The program will continue without the benefit of a permanent Center with more of the staff's time being spent at the high school and in after school contacts. It is expected that more individual contacts will be made with a broader spectrum of all Ulysses youths. An additional $15 was left at the Presbyterian Church for Christmas trees that were purchased, bringing the total collected to just over 450. There will be a Youth Center sponsored dance at Trumansburg High School on Saturday, January 21, from 8 -- 11. The band After Hours will be playing. Custodial and Deputy assistance has been arranged, as well as chaperones from both the high school and the Youth Center. It was suggested that this would be an appropriatetime to rename the Youth Center, and since there was no response from the young people to the contest proposed last month, the Board unanimously adopted a new name: Ulysses Youth Unlimited. Tom Lange presented a summary of T.R.U.S.T.'s finances for 1977, and it was unanimously approved by the Board. ULYSSES-TRUMANSBURG YOUTH CENTER December Report We took two shopping trips to Pyramid Mall this month to do some Christmas shopping -- it was a big hit. Two Friday nights and Saturdays we had movies from the library at the Center, during which time all other activity ceased, a rare occaision. The bowling and recreation volleyball and basketball continue to take top billing, and the batiks the group worked on arenow in the front window. Once again this year, Dr. Gutelius donated Christmas trees for the Center to sell. One Saturday, about 15 young people went out to the Gutelius' to out the trees and move them into town. Bob Newport gave us permission to sell the trees in his lot across from the post office and we wold trees from there all during the follow- ing week. We made only $35 selling the trees; a number were stolen, and the young people rapidly lost interest in standing out in the cold. Jules Burgevin also helped us with the trees and with the use of his truck.: The Community Christmas caroling that was to take place here on December 21st drew only ten people due to the bad weather and rescheduling problems. At present we have two interns who will be working with us for another semester, one from TC3 and one from Ithaca College. We also have two young people who were referred to us by the Probation Department. They work cleaning the center one day per week. . Keeping the heat up in the center has been a problem this past month. We do not have control of our thermostat and repeated pleas for heat to the business manager have met with short-term or no success. We still have received no satisfaction with this problem. One result of this has been our taking small groups of young people up to the bowling alleys for a few hours for.food and warmth. We had a foosball table for the month of December to try to raise money for a slate top pool table, but after being repeatedly abused, we had it removed. The care of the center has fluctuated between constructive people rearranging, cleaning, and decorating, to destructive people causing damage to one whole wall, some furniture, and the pool table. At the last T.R.U.S.T. Board meeting the members approved the proposed 1977-78 budget, to be reviewed on a monthly basis. After approval by the Ulysses Town Board, Mr. Ray Pompilio will join the T.R.U.S.T. Board so that we will once again be operating with a full board. We now have regular meetings scheduled for the first Thursday of each month at 5:30 at the Presbyterian Church Hall.

ULYSSES TOWN BOARD February 14, 1978 The regular monthly meeting of the Ulysses Town Board was called to order at 8 p.m. in the Town Hall by Deputy Supervisor Robert C. Herrick. Others present: Councilmen William Agard, H. William Smith. Absent: Supervisor Bruce M. Payne and Councilman J. Frederick Allen. Also present: Town Attorney Arthur J. Golder, Jr., County Representative James Mason, Highway Supt. Rolf A. Holtkamp, Zoning Officer Jeanne Lueder, Seville Reulein of the BZA, Chairman Dora Donovan and Madeline Lutz of the Revision Commission, Garrison Evans of County Planning Board, County Youth Bureau Director John Gaines, County Youth Bureau Representative John Sterling, County Commissioner of Personnel Hugh Hurlbut, Coordinator Susan Robinson ® and Program Specialist Susan Tyczinski of Ulysses Youth Unlimited, TRTJST Board members Doris Broadwell and Carl Mann, Teenagers Melanie Wilson, Karen Knapp, Mary Cicci, Sherri Knapp, Yvonne Poley, Justice ® Roger Rector, Robert A. Lama, Jim Richar, Lewis Ough, Angela Carver, Lilla Licht of the Free Press, Secretary Aileen Beers, Town Clerk Marilyn E. Ough. Mr. Agard moved that the minutes of the January 17th, 1978 meeting, as typed and distributed to Board members, be approved. Mr. Smith seconded the motion, voted and carried. Board members inspected claim vouchers as follows: General Fund Nos. 25 through 50 Part Town Fund Nos. 4 through 6 Highway Fund Nos. 12A through 30 Mr. Agard then moved the claims, as submitted, be approved for pay- ment by the Supervisor. Mr. Smith seconded the motion, voted and carried. Mr. Herrick recognized Ulysses Youth Unlimited Coordinator Susan Robinson who, in turn, introduced Hugh Hurlbut. Mr. Hurlbut spoka of receiving the proposal from David Cobb - in the name of Town of Ulysses - for two program specialists for the Youth Center. This proposal was funded by CETA effective October 1977 through September 1978. It is now 'going', the specialists are being paid, with still no contract from the Town. Mr. Herrick pointed out that the Town did not have a copy of Mr. Cobb's proposal and it was submitted with- out the Board's knowledge or approval. Mr. Hurlbut gave a copy of the proposal to the Board - copy attached - noting that there were about fifty CETA projects 'going' in the County and there had never been a problem like in Ulysses. He assured the Board that in the future all funding proposals would require a formal resolution from the appropriate governmental unit. After a lengthy discussion Mr. Agard moved that the Board give retroactive authorization for David Cobb to sign the proposal. Mr. Smith seconded the motion, voted and carried. Ms. Robinson, in response to a question from last month, did a survey on the youth served by the center. It indicated that all but about ® 10% came from Trumansburg or Town of Ulysses. Since closing of the Youth Center time is being spent at the High School. Office space has been made available in the Presbyterian Church basement. One to one consultations will be allowed there but no group gatherings. Copies of the January report and the TRUST Board's February 2nd meeting are on file in the Supervisor's office. Mr. Herrick asked County Representative James Mason for a report. Mr. Mason stated that the County Board had unanimously (though re- luctantly) approved the rate increase at the hospital. On the agenda for their February 27th, 1978 meeting is a vote on Off -Track Betting in Tompkins County. Mr. Mason expects to vote for this unless he hears otherwise from Ulysses residents. On the County reassessment to full value he emphasized that this is not being done to increase taxes but to equalize taxes. He urged residents to use the period of 'informal review' if they have any questions. After that they can go through a 'formal review' and if still not satisfied, go to court. He then reminded residents to make use of partial tax exemp- tions (Senior Citizens, Veterans, Agricultural Districts and Commer- cial Investment) and to consider the new circuit breaker clause in New York State - if taxes exceed a certain % of income, taxpayers can Tompkins LA' County,._,,_ ts2Y i •'TC: BE C.')MPL:-YEb Z.

AREA TO BE SERVED The area to be served by this project is the Town of Ulysses and Village of Trumansburg. There are approx- imately 800 (18 - 19 year old) youths in this area con- sidered the target group. C, B. GROUPS INiNEED OF SERVICE At this time, there are approximately 800 youths to be served by ]. trained, 3/4 time Coordinator. To help serve additional youths, it is necessary to have a -program director with experience in counseling, educational pro- gramming and administrative skills. A full time youth worker also skilled in counseling and educational pro- grams will be necessary to coordinate existing programs and implement programs where. needed. Priority will be given, in hiring, to a woman for program director,, and a veteran for full time youth worker. C. COMMUNITY.. NEEDS There is a very high drop -out rate among this group. In order to combat this, there will be supervised recreational activities, craft classes, and counseling will be pro- vided at the Youth Center. In addition,'. we are develop- ing a youth employment referral service and a Job Seeking Skills program to help meet the needs in•this area. We are also trying to close the gap between youths' doing poorly in school and those excelling via a youth tutoring youth program. The Center'will also become a "place to be" and thereby decrease vandalism that is occurring in the geographic area mentioned.. D. LABOR MARKET NEEDS The Ulysses - Trumansburg geographic area is limited in youth resources (one indication is that the youth center is presently run entirely by one 3/4 time coordinator), therefore, it is important to have additional people to work within the youth service field. Considering this, there is a great need to provide the youth with adequate opportunities to experience health care classes and Job Seeking Skills programs. It is, in addition, necessary to have the staff to supply oppor- tunities for counseling, \recreational activities, craft classes, and speakers from various organizations for the youth. The two participants applied for; will fit very well within this framework. . - 2 - E. GOALS These two positions will give the Center the necessary manpower to provide craft classes, a youth employment referral service, recreational activities, counseling and job seeking skills classes for 100 -.150 youths within the community. At this time there are no'.other opportunities for these ideas to be explored. Having the programs come into effect will increase the number of youths coming to the center and becoming in- volved with the various programs mentioned above. We should see a total of 100 - 150 youths involving them- selves with the center through classes, rap groups, or counseling. The individual employed as program director will gain experience in determining the needs of youth and how those needs can be met through various programs and counseling. This individual will also gain an understand- ing of the skills needed to implement and evaluate the effectiveness of such programs. She will, in addition, be supervising other individuals who will help her implement and evaluation such programs. All these skills can be applied to youth centers operating throughout the country. The person employed as a youth worker can use those skills (i.e. counseling, assisting in the implementation of programs and understanding needs of youth, etc.). attained in this poisition and also, apply them to youth bureau and youth centers operating elsewhere. The duration of this project will be from January 1,,1978 through December 31, 1978. It will take approximately 3 months to attain 100% enrollment. SECTION II A. SELECTION OF PARTICIPANTS No methods other than those used by Manpower. B. ASSESSMENT OF PARTICIPANTS It is necessary to look at the work history, sensitivity to needs of youth, and personnel occupations. The pro- gram director will need an understanding.of the relation- ship between the needs of youth and programs to help meet these needs. This will require some background in coun- seling as well as organizational development. A background in direct service work is necessary to understand the re- lationship between youth needs and how these needs. are met through programming. Employment of the full time youth worker will be depen- dent on the individual's background in youth service work as well as sensitivity to youth needs and problems. Counseling skills will be necessary as well as the knowledge of using recreational craft c•civities as a way to reach the youth. C. PARTICIPANT ACTIVITIES The program director will be responsible for setting up various programs for the Center. These programs have been stated earlier in this proposal. In addition, this individual will also supervise other workers who are involved with the different programs. He/she will be working closely with the schools, EOC, Planned Parent- hood and other agencies in order to find the materials needed, and the best approach for setting up the various programs. The program director will learn a great deal in working with the agencies and youths simultaneously. One aspect will be realizing how to use large agencies to help meet the needs of the youth. Although the individual won't work with the budget, he/she will learn what materials are necessary for setting up various programs. Since there is no other similar youth service organization within this community, it is necessary to work with these various agencies to help determine those activites which will benefit youth. The various agencies•will provide valuable input in determining appropriate activities for this specific target group. The youth worker will also have contact with schools and various agencies for a different reason, however. He can use these agencies for information concerning other altern- atives available for youth. This will be a valuable ex- perieice for the participant for two reasons: •1. He will understand; how various agencies can help service a community; and 2. He.will understand the alternatives that youths have when situations deem it necessary to•make such a de- cision. This can be extremely helpful to the community with our • target group. The youths will have an opportunity to take advantage of various agencies if the needs arise. D. SUPPORTIVE: SERVICES Medical Insurance will be provided as part of the fringe benefits package. E. JOB DEVELOPMENT Due to the importance of these jobs and the need of con- tinuing appropriate service for the youth center, addition- al funds will be sought out to maintain the positions that are being applied for. F. COOPERATION WITH OTHER SERVICE PROVIDING AGENCIES The Youth Center will be in continued contact with various agencies in Tompkins County via meetings, personnel involve- ment kith the Youth Center and newsletters. We believe that this contact will allow the needed communication be- tween the Youth Center and other agencies to keep the pro- grams and project operating effectively. Part of the program director's role will be to keep in contact with the various youth agencies in Tompkins County. This will:. give the Youth Center an opportunity to be in touch with what is happening on a local, state, and federal level. SECTION III A. AGENCY PURPOSE The Ulysses Youth Center is run by TRUST (Toward Responsive Unified Service in Trumansburg) which is .a committee of the Town of Ulysses. This project is the only youth service program of its kind in Ulysses. There are no other oppor- tunities for youths to receive the counseling or programs and activities which are offered at the Center. B. ORGANIZATIONAL STRUCTURE The Youth Center is run by one 3/4 time coordinator. The Coordinator works with the TRUST Board in determining var- ious action that will be taken. The•T,RUST Board reports to the Town periodically, keeping them in touch with our service. In addition, TRUST contacts with the.tlthaca Youth Bureau - Youth Development for staff support, consulting vehicular use, and an opportunity to work with Ithaca Youth Bureau -.Youth Development on different projects. TOWN OF ULYSSES TRUST COORDINATOR -•- I PROGRAM DIRECTOR YOUTH WORKERI • These participants will be supervised by David Cobb, Coordinator of the Ulysses Youth Center. Mr. Cobb has a B.S. in Human Development and Family Studies from Cornell University. He has worked in various programs with youth in administrative and direct service positions. C.

GOLDER, JR. ATTORNEY AND COUNSELOR AT LAW MAIN STREET. TRUMANSBURO, NEW YORK 14000 TELEPHONE (0O7) 307.0001 February 3, 1978 Supervisor Bruce M. Payne Town Office Building Elm Street Trumansburg, New York Re: Scott Gravel Pit Dear Bruce: FEg 6 1978 TOWN ON utvSSES You and Rolf Holtkamp met with me this morning to discuss the Scott agreement of May 27, 1975 and the Mined Land Reclamation Law of New York State, and you have asked my opinion with regard to the application of that statute to our circumstances. Section 23 - 2711 of the Environmental Conservation Law makes it unlawful for any operator who mines more than 1,000 tons of minerals within 12 successive calendar months to engage in such mining unless a permit has been first obtained. Section 23 - 2705 (9) defines "operator" as " . any owner, lessee, or other person who operates, controls or supervises a mining operation . . .11. As I understand it, the Town can extract an unlimited amount of gravel from the Scott property, but Scotts have the right to sell any quantity they may choose to Tompkins County, and up to 1,000 yards of gravel to any third party (I presume the contract means 1,000 yards per year). I also understand the Town is contemplating extracting less than 1,000 tons of gravel in any 12 month period. It is my understanding of the statute that, if the Town were to extract less than the 1,000 tons per 12 month period, it would not be obligated to obtain a permit. Insofar as the owner is concerned, I assume that, were an aggregate in excess of 1,000 tons to be removed by more than one lessee or purchaser in the same time period, then the owner would be an operator required to obtain a permit. Very; truly yours '/ Arthur J. Golder, Jr AJG:gr ULYSSES TOWN BOARD March 14, 1978 The regular monthly meeting of the Ulysses Town Board was called to order at 8 p.m. in the Town Hall by Deputy Supervisor Robert C. Herrick.

Golder, Jr., County Representative James Mason, Highway Supt. Rolf A. Holtkamp, Deputy Zoning Officer David Cowan, Garrison Evans of County Planning Board, Coordinator Susan Robinson and Program Specialist Susan Tyczinski of Ulysses Youth Unlimited, TRUST Board member Doris Broadwell, E.O.C. Outreach Worker Miriam Hardy, Suzanne Sager, Ginny Carlisle, Lilla Licht of ® the Free Press, Secretary Aileen Beers, Town Clerk Marilyn E. Ough. Mr. Allen moved that the minutes of the February 14th, 1978 meeting, as typed and distributed to Board members, be approved. Mr. Smith seconded the motion, voted and carried. Board members inspected claim vouchers as follows: General Fund Nos. 51 through 68 Highway Fund Nos. 31 through 47 Part Town Fund No. 7 Fire Protection Fund No. 1 Mr. Agard then moved the claims, as submitted, be approved for pay- ment by the Supervisor. Mr. Allen seconded the motion, voted and carried. Mr. Herrick ascertained that all Board members and the Town Attorney had received and gone over the final draft of the Zoning Ordinance and Mobile Home Ordinance. There being no questions Mr. Allen moved for adoption by the following resolution: WHEREAS: the Zoning Ordinance Revision Committee appointed by the Ulysses Town Board has duly prepared a revised Zoning Ordinance and Mobile Home Ordinance, and WHEREAS: a Town of Ulysses map showing zoned areas is hereby declared to constitute a part of this revised Zoning Ordinance, and WHEREAS: these Ordinances were presented at a public hearing on January 9th, 1978 THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED: that the revised Zoning Ordinance, the Mobile Home Ordinance and the accompanying map of the Town of Ulysses, having been duly presented by public hearing to residents of the Town of Ulysses and otherwise having complied with Town Law of the State of New York, be approved by the Town Board of the Town of Ulysses and that the Revised Zoning Ord- inance, Map of the Town of Ulysses and Mobile Home Ordinance be hereby made a part of the minutes of this March 14, 1978 meeting of the Town Board, and that these Ordinances and Map be duly printed and published on March 29th, 1978 in the official publi- cation of the Town of Ulysses, and be posted by the Town Clerk in the Town Office as required by law; the Ordinances to take effect upon adoption and • publication as provided by law. Mr. Smith seconded the motion, voting as follows: Mr. Agard yes Mr. Allen yes Mr. Smith yes Mr. Herrick- yes During a discussion on publication of the Ordinances estimates of approximate cost were given by Mrs. Beers - Free Press $1400.00 and the Ithaca Journal $1652.40. The Town Attorney pointed out that the statute reads it..is only necessary to publish in one newspaper. Mr. Agard moved that the Free Press publish the Ordinances. Mr. Allen seconded the motion, voted and carried. In answer to a question from Mr. Mason regarding Local Law #1 of 1978 (Publication of Ordinances in brief) Mr. Golder said that there was a question of constitutionality which would be an open invitation to litigation and that the Attorney General was of this same opinion. Mr. Evans of the County Planning Board stated that his office is willing to assist in setting up the format for publication. Ulysses Town Board 3-14-78 page 2 Next on the agenda was a discussion of the Scott Gravel Pit. Mr. Herrick advised the Board of a communication, dated March 3rd, 1978, from R. L. Demeree, Assistant Regional Forester, withdrawing the Town' application for a permit to mine. Mr. Herrick asked County Representative James Mason for a report. Mr Mason stated that at the March 27th meeting there probably would be a resolution adopted in favor of Off -Track betting in Tompkins County. A decision will also be made on whether to drop or continue funding of E.O.C. He indicated his support of this outreach program in spite of the Human Services Coalition recommendation to the County Board not to fund E.O.C. Mr. Mason mentioned a public meeting at noon on March 27th regarding the County's purchase of the Railroad right of way between Freeville and Cortland County line and reported he will probably support the land reverting to landowners. In answer to a question concerning the use of anti -recession funds to clean up Ithaca High School Mr. Mason said that the funds would also be used for other municipalities if the need arose. The Human Services Coalition, Executive Committee, would like a representative from the Town of Ulysses. Copy of letter attached. Mr. Herrick. invited Mrs. Hardy to report on Outreach activities. Mrs. Hardy stated she is one of four Outreach Workers and works in the Towns of Ulysses and Enfield serving about sixty families refer- red by ministers, neighbors, Special Childrens Center, Social Ser- vices and Office of the Aging. The Outreach Worker is the connector between client and services in Ithaca and Tompkins County. They help with jobs, housing and driving clients to appointments, bank and food shopping. The services can not be duplicated by any other agency. In closing Mrs. Hardy stated that the Outreach Worker is now the only link between the rural poor and the services they need. Mrs. Hardy then spoke as Chairman of the Disaster Relief Committee. Copy of memo to TRUST Board attached. This service would function under umbrella of TRUST in the Trumansburg Fire District providing coordination of help should disaster strike. Mrs. Broadwell under- stood TRUST was responsible to the Town Board therefore needed its. sanction. It was pointed out that TRUST is only responsible to the Town Board as far as the Youth Program is concerned since that in- volves State funds. Mr. Allen moved that the Personnel Policies revision, which added a probationary term and clarified sick time, be approved. Mr. Smith seconded the motion, voted and carried. Mr. Agard moved that the following resolution be adopted: WHEREAS: the following items of highway equipment are no longer being used: 1960 Brockway with cinder spreader Allis Chalmers dozer 1947 Brockway Low Bed Trailer THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED: that they be declared surplus and that this equipment be offered for sale to the highest bidders with the Town Board free to reject any and/or • all bids. Mr. Smith seconded the motion, voted and carried unanimously. Mr. Smith moved the Town advertise for sale to the highest bidder the following surplus item: 1960 Brockway with cinder spreader with bid opening on April 11th. 1978 at 7:30 n,m. Mr. Allen seconded the motion, voted and carried. Mr. Allen moved adoption of the following resolution: WHEREAS: Certain budgeted Revenue Sharina Funds are not needed for expenditure at present time THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED: that the Supervisor be authorized to transfer Revenue Sharing funds in the amount of S10,000.00 from the checkina account to a Certificate of Denosit.

MARTIN COORDINATOR HUMAN SERVICES COALITION or TOMPKINS COUNTY, INC, Mr. James Mason Searsburg Road Trumansburg, New York.14886 Dear Mr. Mason: RECEIVED MAR 141978 TOWN OF 01 r •�.t., March 13, 1978 As you may be aware, the Executive Committee of the Board of the Human Services Coalition is made up of representatives of the various groups which fund the Coalition, as well as representatives of certain sectors of the agency community. One grotp for which a membership slot is open is the Town of Ulysses. I would like to invite you, in your capacity as a Town Representative to either sit on our Executive Committee or appoint another representative from your Town to do so. Our Executive Committee meets approximately once every month. Meetings are currently scheduled to be held on the•fourth Friday of every month - at 8:30 A.M. I am enclosing a brief packet of information about the Coalition. If . you would like to discuss this further, feel free to call me at 272-6146 or Mike Martin at the Coalition office. Try to let us know in some way as soon as you can. Thank you.. Sincerely, Anne T. Jones, Chairman HUMAN SERVICES COALITION OF TOMPKINS COUNTY, INC. ATJ/dw Encl: 313 NORTH AURORA STREET, ITHACA; NEW YORK 14830 607-273.8686 M E M 0 March 2, 1978 TO: Trust Board FROM: Mind Hardy, Chairman Disaster Relief Committee RE: Disaster Relief Service for Trumansburg History to Date On Tuesday, January 31st, a group of concerned Citizens of the Trumansburg Area gathered at the Trumansburg fire house to discuss the need for a coordinated relief service within our fire district. Present: Sue Weaver, Norna Fellows, Ann Hibbard, Sue Sager, , Blanche'.Harding,: Ginny Carlisle, and Mimi Hardy. At that time Norma Fellows and Ginny Carlisle discussed how much work was in- volved in coordinating efforts to help the Sagers after they burned out. All the people involved felt that there were enough resources available in our community to set up a group of people to coordinate disaster relief when it was needed rather than leaving the responsibility to one person or to chance. Many ideas were exchanged, but not many solid resolutions were reached. How- ever, one definite discision was made. The Fire Department feels that their responsibility in this area is fire fighting and not relief. Norma Fellows will continue to prepare Emergency Kits to be given to burned out families and that was all. It was concluded that was fine and others would coordinate disaster. Other conclusions drawn were to define disaster as only natural disasters fire, wind, flood, etc.; and to limit relief to the Trumansburg Fire District. At the end of the meeting a small committee was formed under the Chairmanship of Mimi Hardy and including Ginny Carlisle, Pat Bower, and Anabel Hess. This committee would meet to form guidelines and further explore the implementation of this need. On Tuesday, February 21st, the committee met at the chapel to draw up guide- lines. A name was decided upon, United Disaster Service and a list of resources within the community was drawn up. It was then decided that a central phone # was needed with a coordinator who would have the names and numbers of people who could immediately offer assistance to families in need. The areas of coverage in a disaster would be Food, Clothing, Financial Resources, Housing and Transportation. ... Page 2 page 2 The need for a central storage area for clothing, furniture, household items and food was also discussed. At this time the meeting closed leaving it up to Mimi Hardy to draw up a proposal of this need and present it to the appropriate agency within the Trumansburg Fire District. When studying our situation and the resources within our community I felt .•., that T.R.U.S.T. was the logical agency to act as an umbrella for this project. As a member of the Original group that formed T.R.U.S.T. I know that it was formed as a vehicle to bring unified services to Trumansburg not just Youth Services. As a sanctioned agency within the town of Ulysses T.R.U.S.T. already has a start in the mechanics of getting a United Disaster Service off the ground: i.e. a board of directors; offical appr:val of the Town and Village Boards; and a means of handling finances ie. a treasurer and checking account. Therefore, I have placed before you the above information and ask for your consideration in the matter. Respectfully Submitted, Mind Hardy, Chairman Disaster Relief Committee MU/es Ulysses Town Board 3-14-78 page 3 Mr. Agard moved that $50,000.00 in the Highway checking account funds be transferred to a PAD account. Mr. Smith seconded the motion, voted and carried. v Mrs. Ough reported on lic'nses issued in February, summons being served on last fifteen delinquent dog owners and tax penalty pay- ment made to Supervisor. Mr. Cowan reported that no building per- mits were issued in February but that there were two zoning problems to be taken tip with the Zoning Eoard of Appeals. Mr. Holtkamp gave a Highway report for February and asked the Board's opinion on re- placement of four missing/damaged street signs. The Board concurred that the signs should be replaced. Mr.Holtkamp also stated that the County has said there will be Anti -Recession funds available for removal of trees and brush in streams. Mr. Herrick read a letter from John C. Sterling (copy attached) sub- mitting his resignation as Town Representative to the Tompkins County Youth Bureau Board. Mr. Agard moved that the following res- olution be adopted: WHEREAS: Mr. John C. Sterling has submitted his resignation as Town Representative to the Tompkins County Youth Bureau Board because of conflicting duties requiring his absence from meetings THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED: that the Ulysses Town Board reluc- tantly accepts the resignation of Mr. Sterling and by means of this resolution express its gratitude for Mr. Sterling's service to the Town, and this resolu- tion be spread upon the minutes. Mr. Smith seconded the motion, voted and carried unanimously. Mr. Sterling will be advised of the resolution by letter of appreciation. Mr. Golder reported that the suit against the Zimmermans has been resolved in favor of the Town. Mr. Holtkamp called attention to a Deed of land from Agway (then G.L.F.) to the Town in 1946 and asked if the Town could ask Mr. Miller to determine exactly where this property is located as the Deed does not agree with the Tax map. It was agreed that if a furth- er search of Town records brought no additional information then Mr. Miller would be contacted. Susan Robinson reported that Christina Sarfaty is the new CETA Program Specialist and will attend the next Board meeting. The youth employment service got its first inquiry yesterday. The Village phone number is being used with Sylvia Potter answering calls. February report for Ulysses Youth Unlimited is on file in the Super- visor's office. There being no further business Mr. Smith moved the meeting be ad- journed. Mr. Allen seconded the motion, voted and carried. Marilyn E. Ough, Town Clerk SJSSA1U 90 NMOI 8L6I°i1 WW 0J3A1333M March 13, 1978 Bruce Payne Supervisor, Town of Ulysses Elm Street Trumansburg, New York 14886 Dear Bruce: With regret, I must submit my resignation as Town Representative to the Tompkins County Youth Bureau Board. It appears important that the Ulysses representative attend most town board meetings. Yet, during the past seven months I have been in town for only two of your meetings and had two other meetings on each of those two evenings. Tonight, I am in East Aurora and again am not available. • In addition, the Youth Board Representative, like the Town Board members, should attend some local youth activities to be better informed for the • best decisions. I have not been able to attend any youth activities. I am now finding it difficult to attend County Youth Bureau Board meetings, being unavailable due to business commitments for the two meetings in February and now the March meeting. Both this Youth Board position, and my job are more demanding than I had anticipated when I accepted. I am sorry, but see the Ulysses Youth Representation too important to go unattended.

Payne. Others present: Councilmen William Agard, Robert C. Flerrick, F1. William Smith, Absent: Councilman J. Frederick Allen. Also present: County Representative James Mason, Highway Supt. Rolf A. Holtkamp, Zoning Officer Jeanne Lueder, Deputy Zoning Officer David Cowan, Coordinator Susan Robinson and Program Specialists Susan Tyczinski and Christine Sarfaty of Ulysses Youth Unlimited, Earl Richar, Martha McGraw, Fred Licht, Joseph Garfield, Kent Ogata, Secretary Aileen Beers, Town Clerk Marilyn E. Ough. Mr. Agard moved that the minutes of the March 14th, 1978 meeting, as typed and distributed to Board members, be approved. Mr. Herrick seconded the motion, voted and carried. Board members inspected claim vouchers as follows: General Fund Nos. 69 through 84 Highway Fund Nos. 48 through 59 Part Town Fund Nos. 8 through 11 Mr. Herrick then moved the claims, as submitted, be approved for payment by the Supervisor. Mr. Smith seconded the motion, voted and carried. Mr. Payne asked County Representative James Mason for a report. Mr. Mason spoke of the establishment of an Economic Advisory Com- mittee to be made up of professionals and be used as a resource for the Board, County and others. (Previously the Chamber of Commerce was the only resource available.) He also mentioned that Off -Track betting had been approved and application made to the Catskill Corp. The County is now waiting for the necessary paperwork to clear in Albany. Federal Anti -Recession Funds are being used to establish three five -men crews. They will be available ten weeks this sum- mer to work on removal of trees and brush from streams to prevent flooding. At Mr. Mason's request "other flooding hazards" was added to stream flooding and this could prove helpful in Ulysses. Mr. Holtkamp is to follow up on this. Authorization was given Tompkins County Hospital to proceed to a non-profit corporation but Mr. Mason believes it will be a year or longer before the actual transfer can be made. In regards to the Railroad right of way - the land from Freeville to the Cortland County line will be available for individ- uals to buy back and the Planning Board has been asked to come up with some compatible uses for the land from east Ithaca to Freeville. Mr. Mason closed his report by announcing that the new ambulance will arrive on April 22nd. Next on the agenda was the printing and charge per copy of the Revised Zoning and Mobile Home Ordinance. Mr. Dickinson.of the Free Press brought in his rough estimate for printing the Ordinance: Twenty pages in book form, 8' (not collated or in binders), stock. 250 copies 500 copies 1000 copies x 11, loose leaf with holes on 80 lb. coated, high grade $600.00 700.00 850.00 A discussion followed about securing another printing estimate. it was pointed out that this would require the type for the whole Ordi- nance be re -set, whereas, the Free Press has the tapes from the newspaper publication so are able to re -print at substantial sav- ings. Mr. Herrick moved that a charge of $1.00 per copy, be made for the Revised Zoning and Mobile Home Ordinance, picked up at the Town Office and $1.00 plus postage for those mailed. Mr. Agard seconded the motion, voted and carried. Mr. Smith moved that there be a first printing of 1000 copies of the Revised Zoning and Mobile Home Ordinance. Mr. Agard seconded the motion, voted and carried. Mr. Payne asked the Board for suggestions of a Representative to the County Youth Bureau Board replacing John Sterling, resigned. Mr. Herrick named Joseph P. Garfield and asked him to comment. Mr. Garfield stated he had been directly involved with youth in Trumans- Ulysses Town Board 4-11-78 page 2 burg and Ithaca, primarily in football and thought he could help. Mr. Kent Ogata spoke in support of Mr. Garfield's appointment to the Youth Bureau. Mr. Herrick moved that Joseph P. Garfield be appointed to the County Youth Bureau Board. Mr. Agard seconded the motion, voted and carried. Mr. Payne explained the need for a $400.00 supplemental application to the State Division for Youth to cover purchase of protective gear for the Small Fry football teams. Mr. Agard moved that the following resolution be adopted: WHEREAS: the Town has been advised that additional monies are available to Towns from the State Division for Youth for recreational expenditures, and WHEREAS: the Small Fry football team has need for additional protective equipment for use in their recreation program, THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED: that the Town Supervisor be directed to file a supplemental application for approval of an additional $400.00 for purchase of said protective equipment and that the Budget be so amended. Mr. Herrick seconded the motion, voted and unanimously carried. Mr. Payne announced the Tompkins County Municipal Officials' Associ- ation meeting at the Valley House on April 19th, 1978. Mr. Payne, Mrs. Beers and Mrs. Ough signified their interest in attending. Mr. Smith moved the adoption of the following resolution: WHEREAS: the Zoning Ordinance Revision Commission appointed by the Town Board in 1976 has most diligently and capably accomplished the enormous task of revision of the Zoning and the Mobile Home Ordinances for the Town of Ulysses, and WHEREAS: the Zoning Ordinance Revision Commission has complied with the legal procedures preparatory to presentation of these Ordinances to the Town Board for action, THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED: that the Town Board of the Town of Ulysses extend its deep appreciation to members of the Zoning Ordinance Revision Commission for the time and thought they have so generously given to the accomplishment of this task, and this resolution be spread upon the minutes. Mr. Herrick seconded the motion, voted and unanimously carried. After explanations by 4ighway Supt. Rolf A. Holtkamp Mr. Smith moved the following resolutions be adopted: 1. WHEREAS: Public parking on both sides of the Gorge Road from the Taughannock Farms driveway to Route 89 has created an unsafe traffic condition, NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED: that the Ulysses Town Board de- clare both sides of the above mentioned Gorge Road from the driveway of Taughannock Farms Inn to Route 89 for a distance of 350 feet, be marked as "No Park- ing" areas, and that the County and State offices in- volved with the enforcement of traffic laws be so ad- vised. 2. WHEREAS: Public parking on the east and west sides of the Van Dorns Corners Road south at the intersection of Route 96 have created unsafe traffic conditions for emer- gency vehicles (snow plows and fire and ambulance vehicles), NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED: that the Ulysses Town Board de- clare the east side of the Van Dorns Corners Road from Route 96 south for a distance of 400 feet be marked as a "No Parking" area, and that the County and State offices involved with the enforcement of Traffic laws be so advised. 3.

Cuyle families) be so advised. Mr. Agard seconded the motion, voted and carried unanimously. Mr. Holtkamp reported that in January there was a washout on Glenwood Road due to plugged culverts. A heavy rain the day after Easter (March 27, 1978) caused more of the same including a shoul- der on Route 89. Mr. Holtkamp ascertained the offending culverts were on NYSE&G right of way so contacted them and they were to send someone to check same. Mr. Agard suggested pictures be taken of the damage which Mr. Pompilio did. Mr. Holtkamp stated there was no point in doing any road repair until the culverts are cleaned and that right now the road is barricaded with flares. He estimated repairs miqht run $5000.00. Mr. Herrick moved that the Supervisor pursue NYSE&G's responsibilities and the legalities with the Town Attorney. Mr. Smith seconded the motion, voted and carried. I \J Town Clerk Marilyn E. Ough reported on licenses and tax penalty payment to the Supervisor. She requests to notarize documents and asked the Be becoming a Notary Public. Mr. Agard moved that the necessary expense and time for Mrs. Ough to Public.

Zoning Officer Jeanne Lueder reported there have been many requests for building permits, notices of corrections are, being sent out and that the Zimmermann have stopped all work. Highway Supt. Rolf Holtkamp gave a highway report for March. He also noted approval has been received on the Donovan Plan for Ira - dell Road, County Line and Rice Road and reminded the Board that the request for 1980 must be submitted by April 1st, 1979. The Boy Scout roadside pickup is scheduled for April 29th (rain date May 6th). Spring cleanup week will be May 5th through 14th with pickup on Monday May 15th of anything two men can handle (no gar- bage) and brush if. bundled. Mr. Mason noted that reimbursement from Anti -Recession Funds for use of the Town truck was approved by the County Board yesterday. Coordinator Susan Robinson of Ulysses Youth Unlimited introduced Christine Sarfaty the new Program Specialist. She is helping with the Youth Employment Service. A garage sale is being planned for after spring cleanup. Ms. Robinson asked Board approval of appoint- ment to the TRUST Board of Joe Muraca replacing Carl Mann. Since Mr. Muraca was not present and no one on the Board was acquainted with him it was decided to table action on this appointment until next month. Mr. Payne read a memo from Martin Luster regarding the organization- al meeting of the Transportation Commission on May 2nd. He will report at the May 9th Board meeting. There being no further business Mr. Herrick moved for adjournment. Meeting adjourned. Ma lyn E. Ough, Town Clerk I it; Cayuga Lake, according to Town Supervisor Bruce Payne, and town officials feel that the damage was NYSE&G'n fault. NYSE&G is the owner of at, aban- doned railroad right of way on which a culvert was clogged this winter, causing water to cascade over Route • 89 and down Glenwood Road, Payne said. Route 89 was temporarily • closed because of the flooding, and Glenwood Road was severely dam- aged. Paul Komar, area manager for NYSE&G, said this morning that culverts on the right-of-way are - checked yearly, and work was done last spring to clear those which were clogged. He said the. company learned of the situation',only Tues- day, and will study It to determine whether or not the culvert was re- aponsible for the road damage. Ulysses bans Gorge Road 'parking TRUMANSBURG — Visitors to Taughannock Park this summer will no longer be able to park their cars on Gorge Road off Route 69, and walk Into the park to avoid paying fees. The Ulysses Town Board voted Tuesday night to make a no parking zone on both sides of Gorge Road from Route 89 to Taughannock Farms Inn to cut down the number of • people walking into the park. Town officials also voted to re- move parking from Van Dorns Cor- ners Road where it intersects with Route 96 near the Spot Restaurant. Parking on that corner has caused repeated snow removal problems, according to Town Supervisor Bruce 'Payne. The board decided to make Dud- :'dleston Road from Route 96 to Ceme- • tery Road a seasonal highway, open in the summer but unplowed In win - :ter. Copies of the recently revised zon- • Ing ordinance will cost residents $1, • according to a decision made Tues- day night. Board members decided to charge for the ?A -page document in order to save taxpayers the cost of making them available for free to the few • who request copies. The revised zoning ordinance went • into effect April 8. The board also appointed Joseph P. Garfield of Perry City Road, Trumansbur , to represent the town on the Tompkins County .Youth Bu- reau Board. Garfield, who has been,,.

Sincerely, Honorable Bruce M. Payne Supervisor Town of Ulysses Trumansburg, New York 14886 19 II ULYSSES YOUTH UNLIMITED April 1978 Report Twice during April, the Ulysses Youth Unlimited basketball players played the Ithaca Youth Bureau Staff. The staff won the first game easily. In the second game, however, the Ulysses youths were ahead most of the game. They played well together, good offense and defense, and only lost the game by a free throw in the last second of play. It was very exciting! We had two meetings with youths this month to talk about fund raising and trips we might take. Scheduled for May are a dance on May 13 at the high school and a garage sale on May 20, hopefully at the Fairgrounds. As a result of these meetings, we also took an all day picnic up to Treman Lake in Buttermilk Falls State Park. We hiked, played softball and frisbee, and ate lots of good food. In addition to the picnic, there were other trips during the week of spring vacation. A group of youths spent a day at Sue Robinson's house, playing softball, walking, and swimming (brrr!). A number of people went to Pyramid Mall we went with one youth to the Johnson Art Museum at Cornell and to a movie in Ithaca. Later in the month, we took a day trip to Watkins Glen where we hiked the Indian trail (the gorge trail was still closed), had a picnic, and played games. On the way home, we spent some time at the park at the south end of Seneca Lake. Photography classes began this month. Tom Lange has offered us the use of his darkroom and we will begin using it with a couple of youths starting in May. Also in April, Sue Tyczinski and two youths attended a First Aid Course and all received their Red Cross Cards. The Youth Employment Service has now placed five youths in part-time employment, and we have received more applications from other interested students. There are now Y.E.S. brochures around town as well as posters advertising youths available for spring clean-up. Applications for youths are available at the main office in the high school. Employers should continue to call the Village Office. We urge you to use our resource of ready, willing, and able youth workers. This month, we received five referrals from Mental Health, Probation, a parent, and a teacher. We will be including these youths in our programs and working with thuln on a one-to-one basis. Ono of these youths as become actively involved with the planning of our summer outings. Already we've picked up a few loads of things for our garage sale. Anyone wishing to donate furniture, appliances, or smaller odds and ends should call us to come nick it up. We can be reached between 3:00 and 5:00, Monday through Friday, ' at 307-8185, or a message can be loft anytime during working hours at 273-8364. We would appreciate any contributions.

Ill through 131 Highway Fund Nos. 79 through 94 Part Town Fund Nos. 12 through 13 Mr. Agard then moved the claims, as submitted, be approved for pay- ment by the Supervisor. Mr. Smith seconded the motion, voted and carried. County Representative James Mason reported that the Board authorized the hospital to secure a $500,000 Revenue Anticipation Note to cover payment to the State Retirement Fund due in June. He noted the cash flow problem at the hospital with nearly three million in accounts receivable. Mr. Mason stated that the CSEA petition being circula- ted would probably be successful and the choice of County vs. Pri- vate hospital will be on the ballot in the fall. He had an oppor- tunity to tour the new hospital last week and was very impressed. He suggested others take this opportunity as there is usually some- one at the site happy to show visitors around but to check at the contractor's office. He noted there had been some concern regard- ing the Pediatrics and Psychiatric units being next to one another. They are adjacent but completely separate - the placement must he seen to be understood. There was a Public Hearing regarding Commu- ter Airlines flights at the airport. Regular scheduling should be- gin by July 1st with good or better service to the Washington area. Two significant changes in airline service were mentioned - passen- gers will be required to carry their own luggage and size of plane used will be determined by number of passengers hooked. The Airport Terminal Building renovations are progressing at a rapid pace. The exterior walls of the CFR Building are up and the runway resurfacing is to start soon. The latter will he done at night which will be more costly but allows the airport to remain open. Authorization was given for the purchase of. a $120,000 snow plow that clears a fifty foot strip. The local share being $3,000 which will he paid from ADEP Funds that come from a tax on users of the airport. About eight people came to the Local Advisory Board of Assessment Rrviow which met in the Town Hall on Tuesday, June 6, 1978. Mr. Mason be- lieves there is a pretty good understanding of the 100% assessed valuation. The Town should soon receive the draft of the Revised County Charter. The revisions are listed in a separate publication making it easier to pick out the changes. The County has applied to Albany for. $160,000 in Highway -Traffic Safety Funds to be used for ambulance and hospital Advance Life Support Equipment. $19,000 of this would he for the Trumansburg ambulance equipment and training. The only two problems that might prevent funding are that the hospi- tal needs to submit a curriculum program for training those using the equipment and reactivating the County Board of Traffic Safety Commission. The latter has been resolved. A discussion followed on the concerns regarding the Federal Governments consideration of the Finger Lakes region as a nuclear waste dump. Mr. Mason urged all citizens to he aware of what this would mean to thisarea. Mr. Payne ascertained that all but Mr. Iierrick will he able to ride on the float in the Firemen's Parade July 14th. Mrs. Ough read a letter from the Commissioners of Elections regarding the updated method of recommending and appointing Election Inspectors (copy of letter attached) and listed the following Inspectors and Custodians: COMMISSIONERS OF ELECTIONS TOMPKINS COUNTY IYHACA, NEW YORK April 12, 1978 RECEIVE To Town Chairman, Democratic or Republicanjarty APR 121978 ,-d i / //J Ssrs TOWN OR ULYSSES According to the recodified New York State Election Law: Article 3, Section 404, Paragraphs 2, 4, and 7, the following is the updated method of recommending and appointing Election Inspectors. 2. Each political, party entitled to representation on any board of elections may, not later than the first day of May in each year, file witli the appropriate board of elections, an original list of persons recommended to serve. Supplemental lists may be filed at the same time and at any time before the designation is made and certified or when a vacancy exists. 4. Appointment of election inspectors and poll clerks shall be made by boards of elections. 7. Election officers shall be appointed form the lists submitted, by those members of the board who represent the political party which submitted such lists. This seems to eliminate the role of the Town Clerk and Town Board in selecting Inspectors. However, since the Towns are still expected to assume the financial obligations for same, we feel that the lists should be confirmed by the Town Boards and will send copies to the Boards for action at their June meetings. We will also need the assistance of Town Clerks to help ascertain if all polling places are going to be adequately manned at each election and helping secure substitutes when necessary.

Mr. Payne ascertained i.f Board members had read and digested material given them prior to the meeting regarding SEQR (The New York State Environmental Quality Review Act) and noted the time for compliance has been extended to September 1st, 1978. Mr. Mason stated that the Planning and Public Works Committee is developing the County's version of SEQR with a Public Hearing at the County Courthouse sched- uled for 9 a.m. June 26th, 1978.

Town Clerk Ough ULYSSES YOUTH UNLIMITED May 1978 Report May was a busy fund raising month. On the 13th, we had our second dance. of the year at which we made $180.00. "After Hours" played for us again and about 300 people were there. Our garage sale on May 20th netted us $94.00, thanks to the Fairgrounds Committee for allowing us to have it there once again and to all the people who donated items for sale. This brings our total funds raised to $505.00, $5 over our projection for all of 1978! The first two Saturdays of the month, we and three youths were available each day at the Presbyterian Chapel to pass out guide pamphlets for the Trumansburg Historic and Business Tour occurring at that time. Unfortunately, the weather did not cooperate, and our presence went practically unnoticed. We had our last meeting of the girls' rap group in May. With the better weather coming, the group decided it would rather not meet any longer. The meetings which we had, including the last one, went particularly well for those who were committed to being there. It is something that we hope to continue in the fall, perhaps expanding to include boys' and/or coed groups, Our Youth Employment Service has now had 12 job referrals. Applications continue to come in and formal interviews are also taking place. We see the interviews as an important tool to help teach committment and responsibility to the youths. Please help us to spread the work about our service to potential employers. We had four more referrals this month from teachers and parents. Each of • them was to work one-on-one with youths either in tutoring or with problems they've been having. We've matched one youth with a tutor, one with a big brother, and the other two we've begun to make contact with. During May, we started playing softball and going roller skating. Monday nights, we play softball from 5:30 to 7:30 at the Jr. High field. Anyone wishing to join us should meet us there at the field. On Friday evenings, we go roller skating from 7:00 to'9:00 at Cass Park in Ithaca. We're meeting yound people who want to go at 6:45 in front of the Presbyterian Chapel. Basketball will continue until school finishes in June. May Report Cont.

BOARD MEETING Thursday June 8, 1978 Members Present: Doris Broadwell, Gayla Miller, and Joe Maraca Summary: The proposal to the County Youth Bureau for New York State DFY matching funds has been passed by both the Program Committee and the full Board. Within the next three weeks, it will be considered by the County IGR Committee, the B & A Conmittee, the County Board of Representatives, and the NYS DFY in Binghamton. We expect to know before July 1, whether or not the proposal will be approved. We will have access to this money upon approval. The proposal to the Presbytery of Geneva for Project Funding for 1979 has been submitted to the Trustees of the Ulysses Presbyterian Church. If approved, it will be forwarded to the Presbytery in June; and final decisions will be known in the fall. Joe Muraca will be looking into the possibility of funding support from the Campaign for Human Development. The Trumansburg Chamber of Commerce has asked Ulysses Youth Unlimited to design and construct a float for the Fair parade in July. Sue Tyczinski will be working with youths to plan and build this float. UYU is assisting the Town of Ulysses with the organization of the R.T.S. trips for 8 - 13 year olds this summer. We are planning the trips, probably between 2 and 4 trips spread out over the summer, in conjunction with the County Personnel office which handles the funds. We will be looking for chaperones for these trips in the near future. Funds will be available after July 5th. Our summer program will include 2 - 3 days of swimming per week at area parks and pools, picnics, arts and crafts, and small group trips of one to five days duration. We will also be spending a great deal of individual time with youths. The next T.R.U.S,T. Board meeting will be on July 6, at 5:30 in the Presbyterian Chapel.

Others present: Councilmen William Agard, J. Frederick Allen, H. William Smith. Absent: Councilman Robert C. Herrick. Also present: Highway Supt. Rolf A. Holtkamp, Zoning Officer Jeanne Lueder, Coordinator Susan Robinson and Program Specialist Chris Sarfaty of Ulysses Youth Unlimited, Representative to Cable Television Commission Carl Cox, Committee on Senior Citizen Housing Chairman Martin Luster, TRUST Board member Doris Broadwell, Professor Jan M. Saltzgaber and Archivist Katherine B. Haynie of Ithaca College, Lilla Licht of the Free Press, Secretary Aileen Beers, Town Clerk Marilyn E. Ough. Mr. Agard moved that the minutes of the typed and distributed to board members, seconded the motion, voted and carried. Board members inspected claim vouchers General Fund Nos. Highway Fund Nos. Part Town Fund Nos. June 13th, 1978 meeting, as be approved. Mr. Allen as follows: 132 through 149 95 through 110 18 through 19 Mr. Allen then moved the claims, as submitted, be approved for payment by the Supervisor. Mr. Smith seconded the motion, voted and carried. Mr. Payne announced that the deadline for S.E.Q.R. has been extended to November 1st, 1978 and the State has notified the County to wait as Part 617 (which provides a statewide framework for S.E.Q.R. im- plementation by all state and local agencies) is being revamped. Mr. Holtkamp gave a highway report for June and stated they will be starting on Rice Road next week. He asked permission to attend the Highway Superintendent's Annual Convention September 26th through 29th, 1978 at the Concord. Mr. Allen moved for approval and Mr. Agard seconded the motion, voted and carried. Mr. Holtkamp reminded the Town Officials to meet for the Firemen's parade at 7:15 p.m. this Friday. Mr. Payne spoke of meeting with Tompkins County area General Manager of ATC Kevin Rorke along with Mr. Herrick and Mr. Cox. The infor- mation regarding the draft of Model Cable Franchise was then given to the Town Attorney but no opinion has yet been received so there was nothing ready to discuss with the Board. Mr. Cox shared the in- formation that the Town cable TV rate will be the same as the Village; the poles along Route 96 are supposed to be 100% ready now and NEC expects to have the main arteries completed by mid -October. Archivist Katherine Haynie was introduced by Mr. Payne. She is work- ing at Ithaca College, under a federal grant, researching religious history prior to the Civil War. They have examined some of the old Ulysses assessment records and are interested in preserving these from further deterioration. They would like these, plus records from other sources, in one location to aid researchers. Copies of our documents would be supplied the Town and the originals immediately • accessable or returned if the need arose. The plan calls for the original records to temporarily be housed at Ithaca College but ul- timately at Cornell. Also involved with the project is Professor Saltzgaber. He stated his interest in knowing about anyone that might have documents or private collections that could prove helpful. After some discussion it was decided to table action for further discussion and decision until the August meeting of the Board. Coordinator Susan Robinson of Ulysses Youth Unlimited asked approval of two new TRUST Board members. Mr. Agard moved that Dan Leete of the Cayuga Nature Center and the Rev. Pete Hood, Baptist minister, be appointed to the TRUST Board. Mr. Allen seconded the motion, voted and carried. (Mrs. Lueder informed the Board that Mr. Leete is work- ing hard to build a summer program on Tuesday, Saturday and Sunday evenings at the Nature Center and she urged residents to attend.)

She is on work study and will be working with us full-time through the summer and part-time during the fall semester. Both of the interns who were working with us are working as volunteers on an octets tonal basis now. Two staff members received training in lifesaving and First Aid this month. The Youth Employment Service is more active now than it has been. It continues to expand at a moderate but steady pace. The Free Press ran a separate article in June to further publicize its existence and success, and we're expecting to match up more employers with workers as teh summer continues. We had our first of many planned camping trips this month. Four youths and two staff members hiked part of the Finger Lakes Trail south of Brooktondale. We spent two days fishing and hiking in Shindagen Hollow with beautiful weather. Our last week of bowling was in June as the alleys will be closed afternoons through the summer. Many thanks to Richard Updike for the discount that he has given to UYU people. Due to popular demand, basketball will continue through the summer, outside on the Jr. High courst on Wednesday nights from 5:30 - 7:30. There is a possibility of getting some games with Ithaca summer program teams during the next few weeks. Roller skating at Call Park has also been switched to Wednesday afternoons from 4:30 to 6:30. We meet in front of the Presbyterian Chapel at 4:15 and return around 7:00. Softball continues on Monday nights. we celebrated the beginning of summer vacation with a picnic at Treman State Park. Ten youths participated in swimming, hiking, frisbee, and eating on a wonderfully hot summer day. There were also a number of small group excursions during the month: Movies in Ithaca, tour of area parks, swimming at staff member's home, and fireworks at Cornell. Swimming will be a regular activity all summer long on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday (weather permitting). We will leave the municipal parking lot across from Holton's Pharmacy at 1:00 and return around 4:00, going to various area parks: Buttermilk, Cayuga, Taughannock, Trepan, and Watkins Glen. Just before the end of the school year, the UYU staff met with Mr. Tracey at the high school to discuss plans for next year. Although nothing definite was decided, we did agree to get together again before school starts in September to talk about possible new program implementation. We also distributed program evaluations to all of the school staff at the Jr. and Sr. high schools. We will use these in evaluating our program both now and at the end of our first year. There were three referrals this month: Two from County Probation to involve Diversion youths in Community Service 3-4 hours/week on a weekly basis, and one from a parent to spend one-to-one time with a Jr. high student.

BOARD MEETING Thursday, July 6, 1978 Members Present: Pate Hood, Dan Lasts, and Joe Muraca Summary: Ray Pompilioms resignation from the Board was accepted and two new manbers, Pete Hood and Dan Leete, were introduced and welcomed to the Board. Their formal appointment occurs after approval by the Ulysses Town Board. The proposal to the County Youth Bureau requesting Division For Youth matching state funds was approved by the County Board of Representatives on June 26. We are eligible for $2,250 in matching funds beginning July 1. Joe Muraca has written a letter to the Catholic Church requesting assistance in funding through the Campaign for Human Development. Suggestions were sought for Community Service projects for youths referred to us by the Probation Department. Two youths are currently assisting the Presbyterian Church with scraping and painting of their chapel. Dan Leete suggested restoration of community historic sites and community beautification projects. If this were agreed upon as a project, it was suggested that we ask the Town or Village to loan some tools. Under the RTS funding which is available for the Town of Ulysses this summer, UYU has scheduled three trips for 8 - 13 year olds within the Town of Ulysses. The trips planned are: July 20 to Roseland Park, July 27 to Watkins Glen, and August 17 to Rome, N.Y. to visit the Fort and take a barge ride. All expenses for these trips are paid for including transportation, food, and entrance fees. Chaperones are still needed. Pete Hood offered to loan UYU some camping equipment for some of its summer trips and outings. Thank you Doris Broadwell for the loan of the backpacks for the Adirondacks trip! UYU will be constructing a float for the Chamber of Commerce for the Fair Parade. Various suggestions were made regarding the gathering of supplies and the building of the float. Dan Leete let us know about some of the on -going programs at the Cayuga Nature Center for possible use by some of the youths we work with. The C.E.T.A. proposal for a special project person to be hired in October was read by the Board and suggestions and contributions were made.

Six plans are being submitted to D.O.T. - four of these are close to Town Board ideas. He shared an aerial plan from the County Planning Office showing where the new Route 96 cuts into the existing 96 in front of the Professional Building.

Ough, Town Clerk ULYSSES YOVPH CNLIMITED July 1978 Report The Trumansburg Fair provided the staff with lots of occaisions to meet with youths sane of whom we hadn't seen since school closed. We spent late afternoons and evenings at the fairgrounds, and we were available to help transport youths to .and from the fair, to hang out with youths there, and to assist with crises. Also during that week, Sue Tyczinski and four youths designed and built a float for the Chamber of Commerce. We were very pleased when the float won second place in the parade on Friday night. The following week, those who participated in the float building had an all day picnic at Taughannock Park. We took two trips to the Adirondacks in July. Early in the month, three youths and two staff members hiked out of Keene. Valley into the Johns Brook area and the following day climbed Mount Marcy. We were very fortunate to have clear sunny weather so that the view from the top was magnificent. Thank you to Mimi and Robert Hardy for loaning us their station wagon -- it made the long ride very comfortable. Another three day trip up to Raquette Lake, taken by three youths and two staff members, was a little soggier but no less enjoyable. Days were spent canoeing and fishing, taking full advantage of this beautiful lake. The first R.T.S. (Recreation Transportation Support) trips for youths 8 - 13 also took place this month. These trips are funded by C.E.T.A. for different townships in Tompkins County on a rotating basis. All expenses for youths and chaperones are paid for. 37 youths and 9 chaperones went to Roseland Park on July 20; A bus was chartered, and lunch was served at Kentucky Fried Chicken before we arrived at the Park. On July 27, 23 youths and 5 chaperones went to Watkins Glen for a picnic, hiking, swimming, and games. Both trips were very successful and we're looking forward to two more in August. Thank you to the mothers who assisted us on the Roseland trip and to the two older youths who helped chaperone also. Meanwhile . . . our regular summer program continues. We're swimming three days a week, and roller skating and playing softball when there's interest. The basketball that everyone asked to have continued in June didn't happen in July due to lack of participation. Three groups of youths went to movies in Ithaca during July. There was one trip for bowling, and one tour of the Ithacd Youth Bureau on a cold windy day. Two youths are being given weekly guitar lessons. We've had three referrals from Probation this month, and one from a clergyman in town. We will be working with all of those youths over the next few months. In addition to those who are referred, we also spend time in our office and around the Village talking with youths we meet informally. Many of these people then get involved in other parts of our program. The interviews for all of the applicants for the Youth Employment Service have been done. There have been regular job placements through the month, however we still have many youths in need of work. People with jobs needing to be done should call the Village Office, 387-6501, Monday through Friday between 9:00 and 5:00, or at the UYU office, 387-8185, Monday through Friday between 3:00 and 5:00.

BOARD MEETING August 3, 1978 Members Present: Doris Broadwell, Pete Hood, and Gayla Miller Summary: Pete Hood brought up the problem of litter around the Baptist church, UYU staff agreed to pass through there occaisionally in the early evenings. During July, the UYU staff submitted a request to the Presbyterian Church for use of a classroom next the the UYU office in the basement of the Chapel. The request was in response to a felt need to have a place to meet young people during the summer, July and August only, Monday through Friday from 3:00 - 8:00. The church has approved the request for this limited time. We will set up our ping pang table, have games and books available, and a record player. All youths 12 -- 19 are welcome. The 1979 Division for Youth proposal to the County Youth Bureau is due between August 15 and September 15. Once again, UYU will be submitting a request for matching funds. The 1978-79 C.E.T.A. proposal is currently with the reader. We will probably have no definite word on its acceptance until sometime in September. The next two RTS trips are: August 17 to Rome, N.Y., for a tour of Fort Stanwix, a boat ride on the Erie Canal, and a train ride; and August 29 to Song Mountain for a picnic and a day at the Alpine Slide. Plans for fall were discussed. UYU staff will be meeting with principals from the Middle school and the High school before school begins in September and will also have time to talk with both school faculties regarding the UYU program. Some suggestions for involvement include weekly noon hour projects, rap groups for small groups of students from study halls, and the possibility of UYU staff teaching mini -courses if they are offered again this year. A need was expressed for a one night per week (Friday night?) place for youths to hang out, dance, eat, and meet friends. The main obstacle to such a thing happening is locating a place where it can he held, but the possibilities will be explored. The next T.R.U.S.T. Board meeting will be on Thursday, September 7, at 5:30 in the Presbyterian Chapel. ULYSSES TOWN BOARD Glf PUBLIC HEARING August 8th, 1978 PURPOSE OF THE HEARING: To consider the Ceracche Television, a division of American Television and Communications Corpora- tion, proposal for cable television service as franchisee and to conduct further negotiations between the Ceracche Television service and the Town of Ulysses for the purpose of awarding a franchise agreement. Present at Hearing: Supervisor Bruce M. Payne, Councilmen: William Agard, J. Frederick Allen, Robert C. Herrick, H. William Smith. Also present: Town Attorney Arthur Golder, Highway Supt. Rolf A. Holtkamp, Zoning Officer Jeanne Lueder, Kevin H. Rorke, representative of, and Robert D. Skinner, assistant manager of Ceracche Television, Division of ATC, Martha McGraw, Secretary Aileen Beers, Town Clerk Marilyn E. Ough. Mr. Payne called the hearing to order at 7:30 p.m. in the Town Hall and read legal notice as published in the Free Press and Ithaca Journal. He then stated that the Town Attorney and Mr. Rorke had gone over together the Franchise Agreement. Mr. Rorke noted that Mr. David Lee, the new local manager of Ceracche Television, had to be in Lansing this evening but since he had begun, working with us he would continue until starting his new duties in Rochester. Mr. Rorke gave a brief background outline leading up to the present and then went over the major provisions of the Cable TV Franchise Amendment - copy attached. Discussion centered on the 35 customer per mile density extension clause which affects the major portion of the Town, excluding the Village of Trumansburg. Mr. Rorke explained that where there are under 35 subscribers in a mile ATC would pay a percentage of the aerial construction with the subscribers dividing up the balance (eg. with 20 subscribers per mile they would pay 42 6/7% and ATC 57 1/7%). It was noted that it cost $8,300 per mile to bring the cable to Trumansburg. In answer to Mr. Allen's question on whether the subscribers must pay this amount in full at installation or over a period of time, Mr. Rorke stated that this was negotiable and in the past subscribers had signed individual bank notes so they would still be liable for construction costs in the event they moved or discontinued the service. There is a two year limit dur- ing which new subscribers would share the construction costs. Mrs. Lueder spoke regarding summer customers along Route 89 and Mr. Rorke allowed they would be considered subscribers. Mr. Golder noted in the new Franchise Agreement rates remain the same, with some additions, and are the same as the Village. The Franchise Fee is the same as the Village and the Franchise, by State Law, is valid for ten years with a five year renewal clause. In answer to a question regarding the average state rate for basic service Mr. Rorke reported the July average to be $7.43 with indi- vidual area rates in the $10 range on Long Island, $8.75 in Albany, $7.75 in Owego and the $6.00 range here, the Catskills and Bingham- ton area. Mr. Payne announced Mr. Rorke would be meeting with the Town and ® Village Boards with a map showing where extensions are located. There being no further discussion or questions Mr. Allen moved that the hearing be adjourned. Mr. Herrick seconded the motion, voted and unanimously carried. J, Ma ilyn E.

Present at hearing: Zoning Appeals Board Chairman Adrienne VanDyk, Board members Laura Koskinen, Merle Stillions, Seville Reulein. Absent: member Peter Kahn. Also present: Mr. and Mrs. Howard Wikoff, Mr. James Stevenson, Zoning Officer Jeanne W. Lueder, Deputy Zoning Officer David Cowan, Secretary A. Beers, Town Clerk Marilyn Ough. Mrs. VanDyk called hearing to order at 7:30 p.m. and asked Mr. Wikoff to comment on his petition for an area variance. Mr. Stevenson spoke on behalf of Mr, Wikoff, saying he had constructed the pole barn without a building permit under the impression that no building permit was required for a farm building (barn) and said both he and Mr. Wikoff were ignorant of a revised zoning ordinance requirement of a 50 -foot setback from the road right -of way for the structure. The structure is placed 17 feet from the road right of way, and 42 feet from the center of the road. Copy of may is attached, with copy of request for variance. Mr. Wikoff said he was retired, raised 20 head of sheep on his 25 acre farm, harvested hay crops, and that the pole barn would house his tractor, hay crop. He also said the barn construction had cost approximately $4700.00. Mr. Stevenson described the barn struction, which includes a concrete slab floor. During the general discussion of the matter, Mr. Stevenson recommended to the Appeals Board that an amendment to the Zoning Ordinance should be made requiring all structures of a permanent nature to require a building permit - including farm structures not now requiring such under the revised ordinance. This, he said, would eliminate any possible future infractions of the zoning ordinance since the Zoning Officer would be advised of the size, location, and type of construction any resident of the Town desired to place on his property. The Board agreed with this suggestion, and will pursue the matter. Mrs. Lueder also commented that she had received two anonymous phone calls relative to the construction of the pole barn on the Wikoff property, saying the structure was placed too close to the highway right of way in violation of the revised zoning ordinance. The Board then retired for an executive session. Returning to the Heard, Mrs. VanDyk, on behalf of the Board, asked the secretary to read the following resolution: WHEREAS: Mr. Howard Wikoff has applied for an area variance under Article VI, section 1(a) of the Town of Ulysses Zoning Ordinance, and WHEREAS: The Zoning Board of Appeals has considered the following facts: 1. The applicant and his contractor should have been aware that a revised zoning ordinance was adopted by the Ulysses Town Board effective April 8, 1978, following a public hearing held on January 9, 1978; 2. In view of the above any hardship that may ensue must be considered self-created; 3. The pole barn erected on the Wikoff property is only 17 feet back from the highway right of way; and Rd of Appeals - Wikoff hearing 8-21-78 p2 WHEREAS: Article VI, Section 1(a) states "any new farm related buildings must be 50 feet back from the highway right of way, and WHEREAS: The request is for an area variance permitting the farm structure to remain 17 feet from the highway right of way, BE IT RESOLVED: that the request of Mr. Howard Wikoff for an area variance be denied. The secretary then asked Board members how they voted on the area variance request: Voting as follows: Mr. Stillions -yes Mrs. Koskinen - no Mrs. VanDyk - no Mr. Reulein - no Variance denied. The secretary will officially notify Mr. Wikoff of the decision by copy of these minutes. `A ma`se`rs. sec cc: Mr Wikoff Mrs Lueder Board members Town minutes attached: application for area variance map of site 4Tv)ev . �.�•�:..

Also present: Mr. Joseph Allen, Zoning Officer Jeanne Lueder, Deputy Zoning Officer David Cowan, Secretary A. Beers, Town Clerk Marilyn Ough. Mrs. Van Dyk called the hearingto order at 9:15 p.m. in the Town Hall. She asked Mr. Allen to comment on his request for a use variance. Mr. Allen explained that he had purchased property across the road (Brook Road) from his business operation for the expansion of his salvage operation. The property was acquired in July of 1978. In answer to questions from the Board Mr. Allen also said his salvage operation is confined almost entirely to junk vehicles (cars) and that he accepts perhaps at most three junk refrigerators in a years time. The latter items are crushed, as are cars. He said he is a State licensed operation of a vehicle salvage yard, that he had tried to screen the salvage yard operation from the highway by use of trees, but that he had found the use of trees inadequate because of slow growth. Mr. Allen said he is installing steel fencing to hide the salvage operation from the highway, and that he is now awaiting the arrival of additional fencing from the distributor/manufacturer. The Board brought up the problems of customer parking - the requirement for space for parking to keep vehicles from parking alongside the road especially during the snow season, or to prohibit the con- gestion of road side parking impeding the passage of two lanes of traffic andlthe passage of emergency vehicles. Mr. Allen said his plans include a parking area. Mr. Allen described the type of building to be erected on the newly acquired property, and submitted maps showing the placement of fencing. Upon being asked by the Board, Mr. Allen said he is still removing junk vehicles from the Township on a no -charge basis. The Board then retired for an executive session. Upon the Board's return to the hearing, Mrs. VanDyk asked the secretary to read the following resolution: WHEREAS: 1 WHEREAS: Mr. Joseph Allen, proprietor of Perry City Automotive, located on Brook Road in the Town of Ulysses, has asked for a use variance under the requirements of Article VI, section 8, of the Town of Ulysses Zoning ordinance, to extend the operation of his junk yard on recently acquired property across the highway from his present auto dis- mantling operation on Brook Road, which he now operates under a Special Permit granted him on April 5, 1974, and The Zoning Board of Appeals has considered the following facts: Dd of Appeals hearing_J Allen 8-2-1-78 p2 1. There is a need for the yard in the Township and due to the volume of his buninoss there is a need to increase the area of his operation; 2, The location will n& adversely affect the exisitiag character of the neighborhood; THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED: that the Zoning Board of Appeals of the Town of Ulysses grant the use variance requested with the following conditions: 1. That fencing 8 feet high be placed behind the highway right of way in such a way as to screen the dismantling operation from the highway; 2. That no cars may be left in front of the fences; 3. That the fence installation be completed by the end of the year of 1978; 4. That ample 24 -hour parking space on the property be provided for customers. The Secretary then asked for a vote' from Board members on the granting of the use variance. Voting as follows: Mrs. Koskinen - yes Mr. Reulein - yes Mr. Stillions - yes Mrs. VanDyk - yes Use variance granted, and hearing adjourned. r L' The Board secretary will officially notify.

Payne. Others present: Councilmen H. William Smith, Robert C. Herrick, J. Frederick Allen, William Agard. Also present: County Represeyn•- tativo James A. Mason, Zoning Officer Jeanne Lueder, Highway Supt. Rolf A. Holtkamp, Ulysses Youth Unlimited Coordinator Susan Robinson, Xerox Representative Marjorie Rockwell, Trumansburg Mayor Carl Mann, Carl Cox, Martin Luster, Earl Richar, Lilla Licht of The Free Press, Secretary Aileen Beers, Town Clerk Marilyn E. Ough. Mr. Allen moved that the minutes of the August 8th, 1978 meeting, as typed and distributed to Board members, be approved. Mr. Herrick seconded the motion, voted and unanimously carried. 1PBoard members inspected claim vouchers as follows: General Fund Nos. 170 through 189 Highway Fund Nos. 121 through 131 Part Town Fund No. 22 Mr. Smith then moved the claims, as submitted, be approved for pay- ment by the Supervisor. Mr. Allen seconded the motion, voted and unanimously carried. County Representative James Mason reported that: Bill Mobbs, former Tompkins County Highway Engineer, has been pro- visionally appointed Public Works Commissioner replacing Howard Stevenson, retired. Mr. Mason wants the Town to keep alert to any problems so there is no deterioration in the working relationship between the County and Town. Today Dr. Kathleen Gaffney announced she will not seek reappoint- ment as Tompkins County Health Commissioner when her term expires next July. • There was no adverse response when Town in -put was sought on Off - Track Betting. However, after the County Board authorized same for Tompkins County an active group is seeking to put Off -Track Betting to a referendum test. The County has been approached by the City of Ithaca regarding bus service on Route 96 to the hospital. They are asking for a three- way subsidization by Town, City and County. Mr. Mason would like comments from Ulysses residents. The Legislative Committee requested a resolution be passed and sent to all Towns regarding a leash law. The model ordinance was designed for a downtown area and did not address itself to rural problems. Mr. Mason spoke against the resolution and it was sub- sequently defeated. He noted that if we consider a leash law it should be aimed towards our needs. In answer to a question regarding the status of Route 96 Mr. Mason stated that at a recent meeting it was pointed out that even if a Route 96 corridor was picked out that day and went right through without a hitch it would be 34 years before it would be ready to go to bid. • Mr. Payne introduced Xerox Representative Marjorie Rockwell. She explained a plan that would cut down on costs of renting the 3100 copier - through purchase. Discussion followed and Mrs. Rockwell agreed to submit additional information and specifications. Pro- posal is on file in the Supervisor's office. Carl Mann stated that the proposed two year Fire Contract calls for a 9% increase each year. (The amount this year was S13,942, proposed for 1979 $15,196 and 1980 $16,564) He mentioned a possible 20 to 30% increase in Compensation Insurance which would have to be passed on. Mr. Payne asked the Board's thoughts on informing Town property own- ers that Ulysses is zoned and copies of the new ordinance are avail- able at the Town office. They agreed it was a good idea with the information being on a separate insert to be included with tax bills that go out the first of the year. Mr. Payne read the resignation of Mrs. Carolyn A. Martin, Historian. Mr. Herrick moved the following resolution be adopted: Ulysses Town Board 9-12-78 page 2 WHEREAS: Mrs. Carolyn A. Martin has submitted her resignation as Town of Ulysses Historian, and WHEREAS: the Town is deeply appteciative of the service she has given, NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED: that the Ulysses Town Board re- luctantly accept the resignation of Mrs. Martin and by means of this resolution express its gratitude for her conscientious and dedicated service to the Town. Mr. Agard seconded the motion, voted and carried unanimously. Mr. Allen moved that the following resolution be adopted: WHEREAS: Mrs. Carolyn A. Martin has submitted her resignation to the Ulysses Town Board as Town Historian, and WHEREAS: Mrs. Phyllis Lutes has agreed to serve the Town as Historian, NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED: the Ulysses Town Board hereby appoint Mrs. Phyllis Lutes to the office of Town His- torian for the balance of the year 1978. Mr. Smith seconded the motion, voted and carried unanimously. Mr. Allen moved that Mrs. Beers and Mrs. Ough be given permission to attend the Training School for Fiscal Officers and Municipal Clerks September 19-22, 1978 at Grossingers. Mr. Smith seconded the motion, voted and unanimously carried. Mrs. Ough explained the new State Law requiring Towns appoint an issuing agent for Handicapped Parking Permits. She has received a supply of permits, allowing parking in any designated handicapped parking area in the State, and guidelines to use in determining el- igibility for the permit. Mr. Herrick moved that Mrs. Ough be ap- pointed Ulysses issuing agent for Handicapped Parking Permits. Mr. Allen seconded the motion, voted and unanimously carried. Mr. Payne announced there will be a Public Hearing on the use of Federal Revenue Sharing Funds for 1979, September 28th, 1978 at 3 p.m. in the Town Hall. Mrs. Ough reported receiving letters acknowledging receipt, and in agreement with, the Town of Ulysses resolution regarding nuclear waste disposal, from Senator William T. Smith, Senator H. Douglas Barclay and Assemblyman Gary A. Lee. Acknowledgements were also re- ceived from Chairman Hugh S. MacNeil of the Tompkins County Board of Representatives and Robert J. Morgado, Secretary to Governor Carey. She reported on licenses issued in August and noted that she had notarized 26 signatures during that time. Mrs. Jeanne Lueder reported on building permits issued in August and the two Board of Zoning Appeals cases heard last month. She has a list of violations to be turned over for action. Carl Cox spoke regarding the installation of the TV cable. ATC and NYSE&G are working on the South Street and Cemetery Road difficulties. The Village will be finished in 1978. There is a hold-up on the Trailer Park as the owner wants the cable underground. Mr. Holtkamp gave his August Highway report noting that they are with- in 1000 gallons of finishing the oil and stoning of edges on Rice Road. He also gave estimates on purchase of a single -axle or tandem truck with snow plow. Ms. Robinson submitted attached copies of the Ulysses Youth Unlimited August report and the September 7th, 1978 TRUST Board meeting. She noted the loss of staff which will curtail her activities. She will still submit monthly reports but will not attend Board meetings unless requested. They are responding to the reasons given for rejection of the CETA proposal. Mr. Luster reported that the 'last' ad -hoc Housing Committee meeting (Corporation papers were signed today and the 35 member Board will be holding an organizational meeting within a month.) decided to rec- ommend Anton J.

We set up our ping pong table and stereo, and had games, books, and chairs for]ounging around. We were open Monday through Friday from 3-8:00pm. Many youths used the facility, and they accepted complete responsibility for keeping it clean. Becky Northrup volunteered nine hours a week which she spent helping to supervise the drop -in space. We'd like to thank Becky for the time and energy she gave us. During the last wee?: the center was open, we had a farewell party for Sue Tyczinski. Sue resigned her position with us to accept a position as art teacher at the Trwnansburg Middle School. Sue's contributions to the program over the past year have been invaluable, and we will miss her a great deal. There were two final RTS trips in August. On August 17, we took 24 youths and 6 chaperones to Rome, M.Y. We ate at McDonalds and spent the rest of the day visiting Fort Stanwix and the Erie Canal Village where we took a mule -powered barge ride on the canal and a steam -powered train ride. 21 youths and 9 chaperones spent a day at Cayuga Lake State Park on August 29. We had a chicken and corn barbeque, swam in the lake, played New Games (with some New Games specialists who came up from Ithaca especially for us), frisbee, football, and were treated to ice cream before the trip home. All of the trips went very smoothly and successfully with lots of enthusiasm from the youths and chaperones alike. There were four other small group trips with teenagers this month. Two youths and one staff member spent four days sightseeing in New York City and at the Jersey shore. They ate in a Greek restaurant, saw a play in Greenwich Village, and toured the Statue of Liberty, Central Park, and Fifth Avenue. During the same week, five youths and two staff members went camping and fishing up in the Hector Land Use Area for two days. The fishing wasn't real good, but despite a thunderstorm, everyone had a good time. The following week, one staff member took three youths to Horseneck Beach on the southeast coast of Massachusetts for three days. Aside from a little sunburn, it was a very enjoyable trip. The last trip of the summer was a three day canoe trip on the Delaware River between Long Eddy and Narrowsburg, about 25 paddling miles. There's not much water in the river this time of year, but there was enough white water to give us some practice in using a canoe with skill, The Youth Employment Service placed some more youths in jobs this month including connecting two with internships at the Learning Web in Ithaca. We're hoping that more jobs will come in as fall cleaning up begins and people return from vacation. Anyone who has a job that needs to be done should call Sylvia Potter at the Village Office, 9-5:00, Monday through Friday, at 387-6501 or one of the UYU staff members 3-5:00, Monday through Friday, at 387-8185. We received five referrals from Tompkins County probation this month. Two of the youths are working with Earl Richar for four hours per week, and three are being supervised by UYU staff 1.n various clean-up activities around town, also four hours per week. Most of these referrals are for eight weeks of community service. Ulysses Youth Unlimited T-shirts have just hit the streets of Trumansburg! Roy Palmer won two free movie tickets for his winning design, and Sue Tyczinski with the help of a number of youths and staff members silk-screened the design onto tho T-shirts. Thank you all!

BOARD MEETING September 7, 1978 Members Present: Tom Lange, Dan Leete, Gayla Miller, and Joe Maraca Summary: Tom submitted the treasurer's report which shows an anticipated deficit of $2,203 for 1978. This does not include the money we have been approved for by the Division for Youth through the County Youth Bureau. We are approved for $2,250 but must spend $4,500 in order to get this (nut including money from the Town and Village as this is already reimbursed). This problem will be reconsidered at the meeting next month, after we are reimbursed for expenditures to date. The 1979 DFY proposals to the Town, Village, and County will be submitted by September 15th. We expect to hear soon from the Presbytery in Geneva on the proposal submitted to them in June for 1979. UYU's C.E.T.A. proposal for 1978-179 was rejected. This means that we will have only the coordinator as full-time staff person after the end of September when Chris Sarfaty's C.E.T.A. position is terminated. Sue Tyczinski resigned a month early to accept a position as art teacher at the Trumansburg Middle School. Due to the cutbacks in staff, the program for the fall will be significantly different from last years' program. There will be four main areas of concentration: 1) We will continue to run and advertise the Youth Employment Service (Y.E.S.) that we began in February with the assistance of Sylvia Potter at the Village Office. 2) The Wednesday evening open gym at the elementary school will continue fran 6-8:00 with basketball, badminton, and volleyball. 3) we will be recruiting and placing fieldwork students from area colleges to work one-on-one with Ulysses-Trumansburg teenagers in a "big brother -big sister" like program. 4) We will continue to accept Diversion and Probation referrals from Tompkins County Probation, supervising youths in community service projects around town for the duration of their time coamittment. Dan gave us some more suggestions for community service placements for our Probation referrals. Due to the increase in referrals we've been receiving, we've had a problem securing adequate placements for everyone. The next T.R.U.S.T. Board meeting will be on October 5, 1978, at 5:30 in the Presbyterian Chapel. Ulyases Town Board 9-12-78 page 3 Citizen Housing. Farmer's Home Administration is supposed to tour the three prospective housing sites this Friday. Mr. Mason noted the interest being shown in the project and asked if consideration had been given to extending the original number of units. Mr. Luster commented that all three sites being considered have room for expansion but that 40 units is the standard size being constructed and it is possible to consider building at another site after the initial project is underway. Ho has had many inquiries from those wanting to reserve space in the new housing but pointed cut that law requires the building be underway before applications can be accepted. An unusual part of the proposed draft of the By - Laws for the Housing Corporation allows that the tenants will vote for, and can nerve as, Directors. It will be similar to a cooper- ative, controlled by the people living there. • Mrs. Licht spoke of the bad condition at the intersection of Halsey- ville Road and Route 96. Mr. Holtkamp was asked to notify the State since it is on their right-of-way. There being no further business Mr. Herrick moved that the meeting be adjourned. Mr. Smith seconded the motion, voted and unanimously carried. C.

Q). $4886 $tone 607-387-6900 September 19, 1978 Re: Senior Citizen Housing Application is hereby made on behalf of the Ad Hoc Committee to obtain Senior Citizen housing for Trumansburg for federal revenue sharing funds to become available for the, forthcoming fiscal period. As I have already reported to you, plans for the establishment of a Senior Citizen Housing Project are well under way and substantial progress has been made toward that goal. An application for funding has been filed with the Farmer's Home Administration and an application for certain initial expenses has been filed with the Applachian Regional Commission. To supplement the foregoing funding sources, and to insure sufficient working capital for this project in its early stages, application is hereby made for $5,000.00 to be used for some or all of the following purposes: 1) Purchase of land option. 2) Advance payment to architect. 3) Document reproduction. 4) Preparation of zoning maps. 5) Surveys and soil tests. It is impossible to say at this point precisely the amount of money required for any of the foregoing items in particular but, suffice it to say, that the sum of $5,000.00 will allow the non- profit corporation which is being formed to proceed with the project expedictiously and efficiently. If any further information is required please contact me. Your consideration of this request is greatly appreciated. MAL:lka tin A. L er, rumansburg Ad Hoc Senior Citizen's Housing Committee TOWN OF ULYSSES ZONING BOARD OF APPEALS PUBLIC HEARING '2 October ].978 PURPOSE OF HEARING: to consider reversal of Zoning Board of Appeals decision in case of Howard and Marion Wikoff of 21 August 1978 for a variance under Article VI, Sec la, of Town of Ulysses Zoning Ordinance, for practical and financial difficulties resulting. Present at hearing: Appeals Board members: Adrienne VanDyk, Chairman, Laura Koskinen, Peter Kahn, Seville Reulein, Jr. Merle Stillions; also Deputy Zoning Officer David Cowan, A. Beers, secretary to the Board; petitioners Howard and Marion Wikoff, their attorney William Seldin, Contractor James Stevenson, Town Clerk Marilyn ough. Mrs. VanDyk opened hearing at 7:30, requesting Mr. and Mrs. Wikoff to state their resons for presenting the new variance request for a pole barn located on their property at 544 Iradell Road. This barn was erected 17 feet from the road right-of-way, 42 feet from the center of the road. The revised Zoning Ordinance stipulated farm buildings should be 50 feet back from the road right-of-way. (See minutes of hearing 21 Aug 1978). Mr. and Mrs. Wikoff are requesting permission for the pole barn to remain less than the required number of feet from the highway right-of-way. Mr. Seldin asked permission of the Board to speak in behalf of Mr. and Mrs. Wikoff. Permission granted, Mr. Seldin reviewed the case, saying the placement of the pole barn was an honest mistake. Until revision of the Zoning Ordinance, there were no restrictions on the placement of farm structures, just as there was no requirement for a building permit. He also cited the estimated cost of removing the structure, presenting the Board with estimates from Mr. Stevenson and Mr. Robert Murphy. Mr. Stevenson and Mr. Murphy are both building contractors. During discussion of the removal or dismantling of the present pole barn, it was brought out that very little of the existing material in the building would be salvageable. Copies of the cost estimates are attached. Mr. Stevenson said trying to use the material from the existing building in another structure would result in an unsafe structure. The present building is constructed of steel and aluminum and the pole -barn type of structure does not have side wall and roof bracing features. The Board then retired for an executive session. Returning to the hearing, Mrs. VanDyk asked the secretary to read a resolution for Board consideration as follows: WHEREAS: Heard and Marion Wikoff, having erected a pole barn 17 feet back from the highway right-of-way instead of 50 feet back as required under Art VI, Sec la, of the Town of Ulysses Zoning Ordinance, and WHEREAS: The Wikoffs, claiming financial and practical difficulties, have applied for an area variance under the above mentioned Art VI, Sec la, to permit the structure to remain where it now is, and WHEREAS: The Zoning Board of Appeals, in considering the practical difficulties involved, have concluded that: 1. there is a substantial difference in the 33 feet variance requested and the 50 feet required by Ordinance; 2. no substantial change would be produced in the character of the neighborhood, or a substantial detriment to adjoining properties created; 3. the,.difficulty arose from the lack of publicity con- cerning the revised Zoning Ordinance, Tn Ulysses BZA 10-2-78 p2 THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED: that in the interest of justice, the requested area variance be granted. The secretary then asked each member of the Board if they approved the adoption of the above resolution. Voting was as follows: Mr, Kahn yes Mr. Reulein yes Mr. Stillions yes Mrs. Koskinen abstain Mrs. VanDyk no Majority vote "yes". Resolution adopted Mr. and Mrs. Wikoff, the Board, Mr. Seldin will be officially advised of the above action by mail. ® The Board is recommending to the Ulysses Town Board that the Town Board find a way of informing the Town residents of the existence of a Revised Zoning Ordinance, either by enclosure in the January 1979 tax bills or by direct mail, so that problems may not arise in the future relative to structure requirements. There being no further business, hearing A. Beers, sec yU llf�l!l:AslVbluyAL>lhuiy El ULYSSES TOWN BOARD October 10, 1978 The regular monthly meeting of the Ulysses Town Board was called to order at 8 p.m. in the Town Hall by Supervisor Bruce M. Payne. Others present: Councilmen Robert C. Herrick, J. Frederick Allen, William Agard, H. William Smith. Also proeont: County Representative James A. Mason, Highway Supt. Rolf Holtkamp, Zoning Officer Jeanne Lueder, Town Attorney Arthur J. Golder, General Manager of ATC for Tompkins County Area David Lee, Carl R.

Ough. 1 Mr. Herrick moved that the minutes of the September 12th, 1978 meeting, as typed and distributed to Board members, be approved. Mr. Agard seconded the motion, voted and unanimously carried. Board members inspected claim vouchers as follows: General Fund Nos. 190 through 205 Highway Fund Nos. 132 through 146 Part Town Fund Nos. 23 through 27 Revenue Sharing Nos. 1 through 2 Mr. Allen then moved the claims, as submitted, be approved for payment by the Supervisor. Mr. Herrick seconded the motion, voted and unani- mously carried. Mr. Payne noted that according to present law the Town can not pur- chase the 3100 Copier per the Xerox proposal. Mr. Payne introduced General Manager of ATC David Lee. Mr. Lee went over revisions of proposed Cable TV Franchise Contract. The only question Mr. Golder had, aside from filling in the blanks with an appointed Town Official to receive notices and oversee the Town's interests, was regarding notification of the automatic five year re- newal at the end of ten years unless action is taken within 60 days. Board discussion centered on the 35 customers per mile with the con- clusion that this figure has to be lowered to help the many low popu- lated areas in the Town that have poor reception. Mr. Agard moved that the Franchise be tabled and the reccomendation be made to lower to 20 subscribers per mile based on an average that includes the Village. Mr. Herrick seconded the motion, voted and unanimously carried. Mr. Payne read a letter from Trumansburg Mayor Carl Mann regarding a two year Fire Contract using the same figures as noted last month. These represent a 9% increase each year. Mr. Agard moved approval of the following resolution: WHEREAS: the five year Fire Protection Contract expires December 31st, 1978 NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED: that a one year contract be approved for the fiscal year 1979 with the 1980 contract to be re -negotiated in 1979. Mr. Herrick seconded the motion, voted and unanimously carried. Mr. Holtkamp gave his September highway report and noted Rice Road has been finished, the salt shed is filled and broken bell tile re- moved and replaced with 6" galvanized, perforated pipe on Brook Rd. Mrs. Lueder reported that five building permits were issued in Septem- ber and several violation notices sent out. The Perry City Automotive building is up but fencing not completed. The BZA re -hearing granted an area variance. Mrs. Ough reported on licenses issued in September and noted that she had issued the first Handicapped Parking Permit and application for a second one has been given out. She notarized 26 signatures. County Representative James Mason reported that the new hospital is on time and within budget - having expended 83% of time and 92% of budget. Mr. Mason voted against a 83,000 storage bill for an impounded car. This amount was lowered to $1800 and unofficially the Board agreed in the future to provide a secure storage area on County property to im- pound a car while a case is pending. The Board authorized 830,000 in temporary funding for CETA to keep programs running until the Federal Ulysses Town Board 10-10-78 page 2 "11° Government approval comes through. The Board also approved a one year trial bus run to the hospital contingent on Town and City of Ithaca participation. Mr. Payne announced there will be a Public Hearing on the 1979 Budget Thursday, November 9th, 1978 at 7:30 p.m. There being no further business or discussion Mr. Herrick moved that the meeting be adjourned at 9:15 p.m. Mr. Allen seconded the motion, voted and unanimously carried. CJ I 1Lyn �s)CL,1 ME. Ough g Town Clerk ., I ULYSSES YOUTH UNLIMITED September 1978 Report September has seen more staff changes for Ulysses Youth Unlimited. Judy McDonnell, who had a full-time work-study position with us all summer, is now working part-time through work-study and a Cornell internship program. We had a farewell party for Chris Sarfaty, our last C.E.T.A. employee, as she finished working with us on September 30, due to the termination of funds for her position. We have Chris to thank for the development and fine organization of the Youth Employment Service which has been functioning since March. We'll miss the energy she has given to UYU -- thanks Chris! The Youth Employment Service helped one individual find a much needed full-time job this month and is working to help a recent graduate find employment. We still have many more anxious workers than we have jobs -- please pass the world to "Hire -A -Teenager!" With school back in session, the staff has been spending lunch hours once again at the Jr. High and High School. This time provides us with opportunities to interact informally with many youths, some of whom we know, some of whom we don't. It allows us to be fairly visible to a large segment of the teenage population, and at the same time, to see particular youths with whom we work regularly. The emphasis of our new fall program will be on one-to-one relationships with the teenagers referred to us and those with whom we have already established a working relationship. The expected fieldwork students from area colleges have not come through, so other sources of big brothers and big sisters will be sought out. • We had five referrals this month, two from local churches and three from teachers at school. We also met with each of the secondary guidance people to cooperate on particular youths with whom we are both in contact. We expect to meet regularly with them to check on the progress of the individuals involved and to keep current on new referrals. The open gym at the elementary school is continuing again this year. We're open from 6:00 to 8:00 every Wednesday for 12 to 19 year olds to come and play basketball, badminton, frisbee, and volleyball. Already interest has been expressed in a rematch with the Ithaca Youth Bureau staff basketball team. Saturday and Sunday, September 30 to October 1, three youths went on an overnight camping trip to Connecticut Hill. We hiked and enjoyed the fall foliage and animals. The rain Sunday morning drove us out of the woods and over to Sue's house for breakfast, an abrupt end to a very pleasant trip. We'd like to thank the Ulysses Philomathic Library for their donations of paperback books. Our library is growing slowly and is currently being used more than ever before.

BOARD MEETING October 5, 1978 Members Present: Doris Broadwell, Tom Lange, Gayla Miller, and Joe Muraca Summary: Tom has submitted the third quarter application for matching funds from the New York State Division for Youth which will net us $820. We are still in need of about $1,000 to get us through the end of December and are exploring ways in which this can be raised. The Presbytery in Geneva has approved $500 for UYU in 1979. We are very pleased that they have supported us once again this year. The 1979 NYS DFY proposals have been submitted to the County Youth Bureau, the Town of Ulysses, and the Village of Trumansburg. These are requests for state matching funds for Youth Services. UYU is in the process of hiring a teenager who has been referred to us by Tompkins County Probation through the Probation Employment Program. He will be doing most of the Youth Employment Service tasks and fund raising, working a total of 10 - 15 hours per week. PEP pays the participants in this program. UYU will be asking local people to participate in a Big brother - Big sister program. There are many youths who would benefit from a regular, weekly one-to-one contact. People interested in working with a teenager should contact Sue Robinson at 387-8185. in the future, another part of this same program might include matching up teenagers as big brothers and big sisters for some elementary school children. The next T.R.U.S.T. Board meeting will be on Thursday, November 2, at 5:30 in the Presbyterian Chapel. TOWN OF ULYSSES BRUCE M.

He then asked Mrs. Beers to read the preliminary Budget. In answer to a question regarding savings earning $1200 interest it was pointed out that savings in a Capital Equipment Account are allowed and that the Town has no Bond issues, paying cash for all expenditures. Mr. Cox stated he was proud of the Town of Ulysses for not doing deficit spending. Mr. Luster noted no Revenue Sharing Funds were allocated for Senior Citizen Housing and requested an explanation. (At the Public Hearing held 9-28-78 the question of legality in using Federal Revenue Shar- ing Funds for a nonprofit corporation was raised.) Investigation has shown that Dryden in an identical situation received grants from Town, Village and County. Mr. Payne has ascertained that Towns can give funds to Senior Citizen activities and Towns can contract with •1 private corporations. In view of this, Mr. Luster renewed the re- quest that Federal Revenue Sharing Funds be allocated for Senior Citizen Housing and it was noted that the County has agreed to match funds. Mr. Agard stated the Board was in agreement that something will be done. Ms. Robinson spoke regarding the cut in funding for Ulysses Youth Unlimited. She pointed out that Town funding is critical. Copies of supporting letters are attached. A lengthy discussion followed regarding why the Board felt the funding cut was necessary and sever- al spoke in support of the Youth Program. Mr. Cox asked if there could be another review of this funding cut and the Board agreed to do same. Mr. Brown stated he was upset that all Federal Revenue Sharing Funds were going to the Highway Department. In his opinion use of these funds should meet the needs of everyone as well as having good, honest spending of tax monies - both being vital to the community. There being no further comments Mr. Agard moved the Public Hearing adjourn at 9 p.m. Mr. Herrick seconded the motion, voted and unani- mously carried. e £t71) M ilyn E.

At this time they will also consider revision to the 1979 Revenue Sharing budget for 1979 which was subject to public hearing on September 28, 1978. ., u 429 Iradell Rd. Ithaca, N.Y. Nov. II, 1978. The Ulysses Town Board Trumansburg,:.N. Y. Dear Sirs: The members of Ulysses Grange #419i.:believe the newly created Trumansburg Seniors Inc. should have assistance in developing the Elderly Housing Project. Therefore, at a meeting of Ulysses Grange #4I9 on Nov. 1I, 1978, the members voted in favor of the Town of Ulysses using $5,000 of the Revenue Sharing Fund for the Seniors Inc. Project in the I979 Budget.

FRIEDLANDER COUNTY JUDGE Ulysses Town Board Trumansburg, New York 14886 Dear Members: November 6, 1978 RECEIVED Nov 91978 MWft 06 ULYSSES I am writing in support of the request of the Ulysses Youth Unlimited for funding. I strongly urge you to support Ulysses Youth Unlimited. As a Family Court Judge, I have become more and more aware of the vital necessity that community organizations serve the needs of their own children. The Ulysses Youth Unlimited has shown imagination, enthusiasm and a committment to the needs of the children they serve. The termination of this program would, I believe, have a negative effect on all the members of the community. I s+ncerely hope that the Town Board will see fit to support this program. If there is please let me know. BDF/il any other information you require, Very truly yours, Be ty D.

What began as the Youth Center over three years ago, changed into an activity oriented outreach program for youths not involved in traditional youth services, and continues now as an outreach program designed to work closely with small numbers of needy youths in the area of counseling (including referrals to outside agencies), employment, and recreation. The young people whom we serve are typically underachievers at school (some have dropped out or attend irregularly), from single parent homes, abusers of drugs and/or alcohol, known to law enforcement people, not involved in extracurricular activities, and not involved with traditional youth organizations. We work closely with the Tompkins County Probation Department, the guidance people and administrative staff at the Trumansburg high school and Jr. high, the Trumansburg police, and several community churches. I believe strongly in the necessity for a program such as Ulysses Youth Unlimited in nearly every community , and my staff and I have worked very hard to build and carry on this program in Ulysses. Your previous committments to fund this program have been commendable, as few communities recognize the varying needs of their youths, but your present reluctance to continue to support us as your have in the past is puzzling. I understand your concern over the tax burden, but our program is designed to help alleviate that burden. At a cost to you of $1400/year ($3.50/day), we run a program that works with many potentially delinquent and troubled youths. Youths who if they were arrested and detained in a county institution might cost the taxpayer anywhere from $35/day ($12,775 per year per child) for non -secure detention, to s55/day ($20,075 per year per child) for secure detention. Even if we only help one person per year to stay out of detention facilities, this represents a considerable savings to the taxpayer. We appreciate your willingness to support us again next year, but it is important to our ability to continue Ulysses Youth Unlimited that we receive the requested $1400 which enables us to receive $2800. We hope that you will reconsider your decision so that we may continue to provide this service to Ulysses and Trumansburg youths. I will be attending the Budget Hearing on November 9th and will respond to any further questions which you might have. Thank you for your consideration and attention to this matter.

Under the supervision of Sue and her staff, I have seen many pleasant changes. In my opinion, this change is due to the ability of Sue and her staff to reach these students when parents and school have failed. • Since most of my dealings were with Sue, I can certainly agree that she is very conscientious and has spent about an hour a day or more in the school counseling, guiding and haveing conferences with me • about some of the students she is working with.

I wish that I could state that "x" number of students have grown "y" months in a given period of time concerning an important skill. Our problem together is, "How do you measure caring, parenting, counseling?" Sue interacts on a regular basis with students and teachers during lunch time. She seeks them out, they seek her out, she's available. Her contacts with guidance staff, dean of students, or administrative staff can only be commended. How do you measure success in a program of this nature? Quite frankly, she works with students that we are probably failing with, that society has and • will continue to fail with. The predictable dropout, the single parent child, students known to law enforcement agents, those turning to drugs and/or alcohol for solutions to their problems are the target population. It is my opinion that Sue has the "people" skills to deal with this group. If she only saves one a year, I would react by saying, "That's commendable!" Admittedly most societies including our own, have not found effective answers to any appreciable degree. I hope and trust that our community will not simply give up trying. It is my opinion that we will pay in other ways if we do, and certainly the individuals served may end up far better off for the service. Sincerely, (/ Dr. Lowe I J.

I have found her to be an interested, cooperative and effective person whenever I have had the occasion to work with her in attempting to modify the behavior of some of our students who frequent the Youth Center. She has assumed a tutorial role, at timq$j in an effort to improve the academic progress of some of the students she comes in contact with. She systematically schedules herself in the high school at regular intervals so that those who wish to see her can do so conveniently. There are students who are alienated with school and anyone associated with it. Sometimes someone totally divorced from school can relate with a student with this type of problem better.

It's the kind of discussion that every municipality should have once in a while — preferably planned and before budget time. In this case, about 20 people had come to the town budget hearing, most of them to express support for funding of a youth services program and housing for the elderly. For most, it was a last-ditch attempt to support the programs. The Impressive thing was that what started out as a plea for reinstatement of funds in the 1979 budget, became a deep-seated discussion about what govern- ment should be doing. There were no accusations, Just frank discussions about government's role. For instance, one resident objected to $26,000 in federal revenue sharing funds being spent for the highway department when revenue sharing, in his view, should be used to support the needs of the entire community. Others argued that property taxes were originally designed to provide for general community needs like roads, and sewers, and water and not meant to cope with all the ills of society. Another person said the town should help residents from the day they are born to the day they die and that housing for the elderly should be supported because it will help those who built the town of Ulysses to what it is today and have made other services possible throughout the years. Members of the town board said frankly that they were proceeding on the belief that taxpayers want cuts in the amount they have to pay. But some people said they'd rather pay a few pennies more at the local level to help a troubled youth than to pay more state taxes to incarcerate the youngster. Although the town board wasn't able to make any immediate promises, its members did say they would take the comments into consideration and no doubt they went away from the meeting with a much better idea of the expectations of at least some residents. There are too few of such discussions today. And, at a time when the national mood is one that asks for spending cuts, local governments may well find themselves out of tune with their own residents, if they believe local residents want spending cuts as well. There are many people, it appears, who have more confidence in the expenditures of local govern- ments than the spending patterns at the state and federal levels. But residents of a municipality rarely show up at meetings until they are very distraught about some action of public officials. By the time they share their feelings, it may well be too late for any action to be taken. And angry exchanges over specific items rarely generate any constructive action. Villages, towns, counties and other smaller seg- ments of government used to have town meetings In which elected officials and residents of the munici- pality exchanged views on a variety of subjects. People could ask questions, make suggestions, and find out first hand about the strengths and limitations of local government. It's true that governments cannot be all things to all people. Maybe It's not even possible any longer to reach a consensus on what we expect from our local governments. But an exchange such as the one In the Town of Ulysses can go a long way toward opening the lines of communication. One of the reasons people have become alienated from government is because it is so big. One way to bring government back to the people Is to Involve them more on the local level. Town meetings where a frank exchange of views is encouraged are one way to try to accomplish that. Taxpayers ask more spending By MATT LEONE TRUMANSBU1RG — The Ulysses Town Board got a glimpse of the other edge of the taxpayer revolt sword Thursday.

A plea was made to have the board restore $1,300 it had slashed from the budget request of Ulysses Youth Unlimited, a program of counselling. job referral, recreation and educa- tion for troubled youths. Last year the program received $2,800 from the town and had re- quested the same this year. But its request was cut back to $1,500 as a part of numerous economies in the new budget. Without the additional $1,300, an organizer said, Ulysses Youth tin - limited "will have to close up shop." Another plea was made on behalf of elderly residents. Representatives of the newly formed Trumansburg Seniors, Inc., a community -based private corpo- ration, renewed its request for $5,000 from the town for site preparation work for its proposed elderly housing project. Thi The board took no action Thurs- day, but promised to review both requests before adopting a final budget at its regular meeting next Tuesday.

Although the town board wasn't able to make any The tentative budget shows an approximately 9 percent Increase in the amount of money to be raised through the local property taxes. The new budget, if adopted unchanged next Tuesday, would mean a $1.02 per $1,000 rate for village residents, up about six cents from last year based on true value; and a rate of $2.09 for residents of the town out- side the village, a hike of about 27 cents. Many small cuts have been made In budget items. But inflated costs of highway supplies and materials and a 30 -cents -an -hour raise for highway employes, town officials said, drove total spending upward. Budget requests from all town departments and programs "were substantially up this year," Deputy Supervisor Robert Herrick said. "The fire department was here before you this evening, and the highway department was here before you, all asking for money." "Taxpayers want relief," he added, "but If it is going to happen, then it will mean cutting some of these special interests. Our philosophy has been to fund pro- grams but at a reasonable level."

Officer Aileen Beers both lookvoluntary cuts in pay so that $1,500 could be restored to the 1979 budget of Ulysses Youth Unlimited — money that had been cut from the town's preliminary budget. After an impassioned plea from the youth program's supporters last week, the town board huddled to consider where more money could be found without having to raise the tax rate. At some point in that meeting, Payne and Beers volunteered to take cuts in pay because it seemed the only way to.make up the funds. "I just believed the program was worth it. Besides, I'm obviously not In this job because of the salary," said Payne, a retired assistant vice president for business from Cornell University.. Payne's 1979 salary will be re- duced from $4,000 to $3,000. Beers salary of $3,500 will be cut to $3,000. The $1,500 will bring the 1979 alloca- tion for Ulysses Youth Unlimited to $3,000, the same as in 1978. Without the £1,500, a youth pro- gram organizer said last week, "we'd have to close up shop."

The board decided to transfer federal revenue sharing funds earmarked in the preliminary to fund its share of the project. The village has also been asked to chit) in be matched by the county. Beers also had some good news for Ulysses taxpayers in general Tues- day. She announced that projected 1979 tax rates would be lower than first estimated. The town rate for residents of the Village of Trumansburg will be 93 cents per $1,000, 9. cents lower than first estimated; for residents of the town outside the village, the rate will be $1.79, 30, cents lower than esti- mated last week. Based on true value, the final rates are both three cents lower than 1978 rates. The decreases, .Beers explained, are actually "paper decreases" and may have to be at least partially made up next year. She said $10,000 in state reimbursement for highway work done in 1970 was expected to be received this year, It is now ap- parent the money will not be re- ceived until sometime in 1979; so Beers transferred the expected.rev- enue to the 1979 budget.

In answer to a question regarding the formula of 35 subscribers per mile, Mr. Lee stated that below thirty-five subscribers per mile there would not be a reasonable return on in- vestment. The only alternative would be to increase the basic monthly rates to the whole Town from $6 to S11-$15 with a second outlet going from $1 to $2 or $3 per month. Mr. Mann asked if the Trailer Park was going to get cable service. Mr. Lee stated he has been unable to contact Mr. Auble or Mr. Rozelle, the Park Manager, by phone or letter and requested the Boards help.

Mr. Allen seconded the motion, voted and unanimously carried. (o( Zoning Officer David Cowan reported business was slow now and being new he was feeling his way along. He gave a brief background of his experience. Mr. Holtkamp gave his October highway report and also noted they had completed spray patching roads for the winter, spent two days hauling stone, put a top on Glenwood Road, moved the corner at Frontenac, Lake and Cayuga Streets and also helped the Village with the corner at Seneca and King. Mrs. Ough reported on licenses issued in October and noted she had notarized twenty-eight signatures in that time. County Representative James Mason reported the County Budget has taken alot of time. He had been invited to sit in on Budget & Admin- istration sessions. There have been substantial cuts in some budgets j but Department Heads have been involved in these decisions and the cuts will not hamper their programs. The approximate tax rate in Town, with still some items to be resolved and a public hearing on the Budget scheduled for Thursday, November 16, 1978 at 7:30 p.m. in the CourtHouse, is 51.45 per thousand of assessed valuation. If the new assessment is 3' times previous assessment the property owners taxes will be the same. $12,500 is in the Budget for Trumansburg Senior Citizens. These will be matching funds - the County matching what the Village and Town give, up to $12,500. Mr. Mason tried to nego- tiate this into an outright grant without success. There will be a hearing on proposed changes for the County Charter at 10:00 a.m. November 27th, 1978 to take public input. The Board hopes to have the Charter in final form and approved by the end of the year. In answer to a question about the hospital being operated private Mr. Mason said, in his opinion, we will not see anything happen for quite a while. The referendum just gave the County Board authority to make the change if and when they want to exercise it. Mr. Gregoire -Cope thanked the Board for reconsidering the funds for Senior Citizen Housing. Mrs. Licht asked about the bid opening which preceded the Board meet- ing and Mr. Holtkamp supplied the figures on bids received. Since the Highway Committee was not prepared to make a recommendation on ® which truck would serve the Town needs, Mr. Allen moved the Town Board adjourn until Tuesday, November 21, 1978 at 8 p.m. in the Town Hall. Mr. Smith seconded the motion, voted and unanimously carried. M&rilyn E. Ough Town Clerk T.R.U.S.T. BOARD MEETING November 2, 1978 Members Present: Doris BLoadwell, Pete Hood, Tom Lange, Gayla Miller, and Joe Muraca Summary: By request of some board members, the T.R.U.S.T. Board's meeting time has been changed to 6:30 on the first Thursday of each month. The reimbursed money from the County DFY funds for July -- September 1978 has been received. We continue to seek more funds to get us enough money through December so that we can apply for our full eligibility for the DFY match. A possible new source of funding for both this year and next is the Catholic Church's Campaign for Human Development. A proposal for this year has just been completed and will be submitted to then this week. We have Father Ryan to thank for making the grant application available to us. The youth who was to be hired by UYU through the Probation Employment Program will not be working with us. There are two local youths, however, who have received employment through this program. A third is on the waiting list. We discussed ways of seeking big brothers and sisters for some of the youths with wham we work and came up with a couple of ideas to follow up on: 1) inserts in church bulletins and 2) a special article in the Free Press. We have beeninformed that the elementary gym will not be available for us to use on Wednesday nights in November and December. Rather than drop the activity, we will be asking for permission to use the Jr. high gym at the same time on those Wednesday nights when the elementary gym is not available. The next T.R.U.S.T. Board meeting will be on December 7, at 6:30 in the Presbyterian Chapel. ULYSSES YOUTH UNLIMITED October 1978 Report We introduced our first big sister and little sister to each other this month. What we expect is that big brothers and sisters will spend some time each week with their little brothers or sisters, the regularity of that contact being very important. The staff will also continue to see these youths informally during the school lunch hours or after school. We continue to seek local people who would be willing to spend some time each week with a teenager. The interests of the volunteer big brother or sister are taken into consideration when we match them with the youths. Anyone who would like to volunteer, please call Sue or Judy at 387-8185. Please leave a message if we're not there. The Youth Employment Service leaped into action in October. We had eight calls for jobs and placed 11 yquths in them -- passing out leaflets, doing yardwork, and even one looking ahead to the first snowahoveling. The response from the employers has been very favorable, and we hope they'll tell their friends about us so that the jobs will keep coming in. We also have two local youths involved with the Probation Employment Program, a program designed to employ youths who have been processed through the juvenile justice system. They work from 10 to 20 hours/week in private or non-profit business and are paid minimum wage. The program is being administeted by the Ithaca Youth Burea%4 and the youths continue to be in regular contact with the Ulysses Youth Unlimited staff. Thwee referrals came this month from the Trumiansburg police and two from uie high school. Three of these youths meet with one of us regularly and one has been matched with a big sister. One has not yet been contacted. Word of the open gym is spreading and we've had more of a regular turnout this month. In addition, we had many requests to continue the afternoon bowling that we had last year at the Tri County Lanes. Since we haven't enough staff to do it every week, we're meeting every other Thursday in the Jr. high parking lot at 3:10 Once again, Richard Updike has offered us a special price, $1.25 for two games and shoes, and everyone 12 -- 19 is welcome. On Columbus Day, ten teenagers went to Sue's for games, music, and a picnic. It was a real fine day with lots of good eating and good things happening in the group. we were invited again this year to pick out books from those left over after the Tompkins County Friends of the Library book sale.

COOPER Associate Counsel It ULYSSES YOUTH UNLIMITED ANNUAL REPORT November 1977 to October 1978 Ulysses Youth Unlimited is a youth services organization that serves youths 12-19 in the Town of Ulysses and the Village of Trumansburg. It's governing board is T.R.U.S.T. (Toward Responsive Unified Service in Trunansburg), a board made up of community members who advise and assist with program budget, administration, and community relations. PROGRAM The Ulysses Youth Unlimited program as it exists today is the result of a year's experience of this staff. What began as the Youth Center over three years ago, changed into an activity oriented outreach program for youths not involved in traditional youth services, and continues now as an outreach program designed to work closely with small numbers of needy youths in the area of counseling (including referrals to outside agencies), employment, and recreation. The Ulysses Youth Unlimited staff has worked in nine major direct service areas over the past year: 1) supervising the Youth Center for three months and organizing games and activities there. During August, we opened a drop -in room adjacent to our office for games and music five hours a day, 5 days a week. 2) Doing informal counseling with individuals and small groups, being a source of information for youths, and referring youths with particular problems to the appropriate person or agency. 3) Accepting Diversion referrals from Tompkins County Probation, supervising youths in community service projects around town for the duration of their time committment. 4) Organizing and coordinating the Ulysses Youth Employment Service and occaisionally referring youths with special interests to the apprenticeship program at the Learning Web in Ithaca. 5) Assisting Jr. and Sr. high school students with academic work, particularly with regards to learning the basics. 6) Being available at the Jr. and Sr. highs during lunch hours to see youths we know, to meet new people, and to be available for those who would seek us out; and being available at our office two hours every afternoon for youths to drop in to see us. 7) Doing arts and crafts, and music with individuals or small groups. 8) Supervising a weekly open gym at a local school, and organizing other regular seasonal activities (cross country skiing, bowling, ice skating, roller skating, swimming, and softball). 9) Taking day and weekend trips to places both in and outside of Tompkins County with small groups of youths. p.' a I' Cdr is V ' 4 ACTIVITY AVERAGE A's DURATION HRS/DAY DAYS/WEEK INVOLVED Youth Center 30/week Nov -.Jan 7 6 Bowling 5/day Nov --June, Oct 2 1 Open Gym 12/day Nov --June 2 1 Sept --Oct Cross Country Skiing 3/day Feb --March 2 1 Ice Skating 3/day Feb 2 1 Rap group 8 total Feb --May 2 1 Tutoring 9 tota].

With the money made available to us, we took four trips over the summer with between 25 and 40 youths each time. Dhese trips are specifically for economically disadvantaged children ages 8-13. Although this is a somewhat younger age group thar, those with whom we normally work, there was no other local agency that could have handled these trips. As it worked out, it was a very fine opportunity for us to become involved with youths, most of whom we didn't know previously, and their famili In the cases with the older ones, we made them aware of our regular program and invited them to participate. STAFF For the first eleven months, we had three full-time staff, one coordinator and two C.E.T.A. personnel, with the addition of one full-time work-study person from June to August. With the expiration of the C.E.T.A. project at the end of September, the staff was cut down to one full-time coordinator and a part-time work-study person. During November and December 1977, there wer four part-time interns from area colleges. Two of these four continued their internships through May. The regular staff and interns shared responsibility for developing programs, supervis activities, and keeping contact with youths who were involved. The coordinator handled most administrative tasks, one C.E.T.A. person administered the Youth Emp1o'.yment Service, and the other was responsible for Publicity and fund raising. Volunteers for the year included 12 who helped chaperone the RTS trips in July and August and one woman who is a big sister for one of the youths with whom we work. Evaluation of Objectives The following is an assessment of how well we were able to meet our objectives for the year: 1) To interest 10 young people in improving their reading. We worked with two youths tutoring them in reading and had four youths who used our library regularly. We received fewer referrals from the schools than we expected perhaps partly due to some confusion about who we were and what we were offering. The library was also used less frequently than we had expected. 2) To involve 12 young people in rap groups. Eight girls were involved in one formal rap group during the year, specifically about issues facing teenage girls. Other informal groups took place, particularly at the time the Youth Center was closing and during August when the drop -in room was open. One reason that other organized groups did not happen was that there was not enough interest shown by the young people when approached about the possibility. This influenced the staff's priorities in programming. 3) To develop and organize a working Youth Employment Service. One of the C.E.T.A. employees organized the existing Youth Employment Service. This entailed coming up with application and interviewing procedures, advertising the availability of workers to perspective employers, determining the best way of matching employers with youths, and doing follow-ups on each job placement, both with the young person and the employer. 4) To refer 75 youths to employers for jobs. During the Youth Employment services first six months of operation, we received 30 calls for jobs and referred 46 youths to fill these positions. Of these 46, 35 were hired. Two of these were regular full time jobs, seven were on -going part- time jobs, and the rest were for one or two days of work. in addition to the employment service, we explored job openings and sources of employment information (New York. State Employment Office, the Learning Web, O.A.R.) with eleven youths. -3- 5) To provide low competition, high success recreational activities for youths. The number of different youths involved in each recreational activity is as follows: basketball - 35, ice skating - 10, cross country skiing - 10, and bowling - 25. Summer: softball - 20, swimming - 20, roller skating - 15, and bowling - 0 (alleys were closed for the summer). We overestimated the number of youths who would be involved in the summer program. There was less interest in regular activities than in the drop -in room and occaisional trips to the movies and parks in Ithaca. This is useful information to help us plan for next summer. 6) To provide informal counseling for 90% of the youths with whom we work. During the past year, we interacted informally one-to-one or in snail groups with somewhat over 115 youths, often offering guidance or support. This was accomplished in a variety of ways: 1) Arranging one-to-one time with indifivual youths, 2) visiting youths at their homes and meeting their families, 3) meeting youths at the Jr. high and high school during the lunch hour and spending time with them there, 4). being available for youthswho dropped in to see us during our office hours, 5) involving youths in the Youth Employment Service, the interview procedure, and follow-up at the end of jobs, 6) being available for youths during the summer who came into the drop -in room to talk, play games, listen to music, 7) involving youths in a rap group, 8) tutoring youths in academics, art, and music, 9) interactir. with youths in the various recreational programs, 10) taking small groups of youths on day trips in the area, and 11) taking small groups of youths on week -end and extended trips. 7) To individually tutor 10 youths in art and music. Nineteen youths were involved in various art and music learning experiences: guitar lessons - 3, batik - 3, drawing - 8, silk screening - 4, and papier mache - 1. 8) To consult with 40 parents of youths in our program. We became involved with 25 to 30 parents of the youths we worked with in the past year. These parents have been very pleased with the program, and so these relationships have been very beneficial in working with their children. 9) To involve 50 young people in cultural and outdoor experiences. over 80 youths were involved in day or overnight trips to numerous places both in and out of New York State. In addition to the four RTS summer trips, there were trips to Washington D.C., Cooperstown, the Adirondacks, New York City, A Massachusett beach, the Delaware River, and numerous camping trips and day trips closer to home. It is our feeling that these trips, in addition to broadening one's world horizons, also provide very good opportunities for individual and small group interactions. As a result of what we have learned during our first year in operation and some drastic changes in staffing, we are making a number of program changes. We intend in the next year to concentrate more on one-to-one relationships with youths than on organized weekly act vities. In addition to the staff working closely with specif individuals, we will be setting up a local Big brother -Big sister program. This will require community support. We will also be involved with expanding and improving the Youth Deployment Service, this time with the assistance of some of the youths involved. T.R.U.S.T. BOARD MEETING December 7, 1970 Members Present: Doris Broadwell, Tom Lange, and Gayla Miller Summary: Tom gave us his treasurer's report and a summary of the outlook to the end of the year. It appears that we will just get by with the remaining income and expenses being relatively equal. The Ulysses Town Board has approved our requested $2,800 with special thanks to Bruce Payne and Eileen Beers! We have still not heard anything regarding the proposal sent to the Campaign for Human Development for 1978. We have received their 1979 proposal forms and there is some question as to whether or not we fit their eligibility requirements. The 1979 New York State Division For Youth funds which we applied for through the County Youth Bureau have been approved and contracts will be signed after December 15. The Ulysses Youth Unlimited monthly reports will be bimonthly beginning immediately. The next report, a November -- December 1978 report, will be ready the first week of January 1979. There is to be a UYU Christmas Party on Monday, December 18 from 4:00 to 6:00 in the basement of the Presbyterian Chapel. All Board members are invited to attend. Due to the fact that UYU may be a one -person operation after January 1, Sue has requested that some of the administrative duties that she has assumed over the past 14 months be taken on by one or more of the T.R.U.S.T. Board members. Gayla has already indicated that she would be willing to be part of a two -person committee that would write the necessary proposals for funding. We will need another Board member to volunteer to work with Gayla on this. The December meeting of the Youth Services Interest Group in Ithaca will be focusing on Ulysses Youth Unlimited. It will focus on UYU historically as well as currently and deal with the specific issues that we are concerned with as well as the general issues and concerns of a youth services program in a small municipality. The meeting is December 19 at 12:00 at the Ithaca Youth Bureau (the Tin Can). The next T.R.U.S.T. Board meeting will be on Thursday, January 4, 1979, at 6:30 in the Presbyterian Chapel.

Payne. Others present: Councilmen William Agard, J. Frederick Allen, Robert C. Herrick, H. William Smith. Also present: County Rep- resentative James A. Mason, Zoning Officer David Cowan, Earl Richar,.Martin Luster, Arlee Robinson, Carl Cox, Lilla Licht of Free Press, Bookkeeper Aileen Beers, Town Clerk Marilyn E. Ough. Mr. Smith moved that the minutes of the December 12th, 1978 meeting, as typed and distributed to Board members, be approved. Mr. Herrick seconded the motion, voted and unanimously carried. County Representative James Mason reported that at the County Board organizational meeting, January 2nd, Harris B. Dates was elected Chairman and Mr. Mason Deputy Chairman. An important issue on the agenda for their next meeting is the Boardman House and Mr. Mason said he would welcome comments. He is Committee Chairman on commercial ambulance service for the hospital. In answer to a question as to whether both ambulance services were needed, he stated that the two services have a total of five am- bulances and that two ambulances could not handle the calls; it was questionable if three could, so in order to have the needed coverage both services would be required. Mr. Mason emphasized the County has no intention of going into the ambulance business. Board members inspected claim vouchers as follows: General Fund Nos. 1 through 18 Highway Fund Nos. 1 through 14 Part Town Fund Nos. 1 through 2 Mr. Allen then moved the claims, as submitted, be approved for payment by the Supervisor.

You ask Whether such a housing project constitutes a "program devoted in w}ple or in part to the welfare of the aging. " for which a town may contract with a private non-profit corporation in accordance with the provisions of section 95-a of the General Municipal Law, and if so, may a town contract for the "establishment of such a program", or only for its "operation and maintenance"? General Municipal Law, §95-a does not define "program" as such. However, it is not necessary to determine whether the construction and operation of a housing project constitutes a "program" under the said section inasmuch as we believe that a town has the authority to contract with a non-profit corporation for the establishment as well as the operation and maintenance of a senior citizen housing facility in accordance with the provisions of sections 290, 291 and 292 of the General Municipal Law. Section 290 of the General Municipal Law reads, in part: "The local legislative body of a . . . town . may, by resolution, determine to estab- lish, construct, equip, maintain and operate for such . town ., a facility for housing . . . the elderly citizens of the community . . ." Section 291 of the General Municipal Law provides, in part: "When the legislative body shall have resolved to establish a facility and programs for the elderly, it may use for such purpose real prop- erty owned by the . town . . . or it may purchase or lease real property or interest or easement therein." -2- 78-1006 Section 292(4) thereof provides, in part: "The local legislative body of a . town . which has resolved to establish programs for the elderly and has acquired, leased or set apart real property for such purpose may . . . lease or sublease the real property or lease,, contract or otherwise agree . . for the entire operation, equipment and maintenance of such facility . . . or of any part thereof . . ." [Emphasis supplied]. The above sections appear to require some type of actual interest by the town, either contractual or otherwise, in the real property to be used as a site for housing for the elderly, before contracting out the construction, operation or maintenance of the facility by a pri- vate non-profit corporation in accordance with General Municipal Law, §292(4). We mention the above inasmuch as your inquiry does not speak to the ownership of the land (or the town's interest in it, if any) upon which the non-profit corporation seeks to construbt the senior citizen housing facility, A question very similar to the one you have posed was recently addressed by this office in Op. State Compt. No. 78-338, 1978 (as yet unreported). We concluded therein that a town may contract with a non-profit association under section 95-a fot.the maintenance of a form of housing for the elderly. We also stated that a town is empowered to establish and operate such a housing facility under section 290. We enclose a copy for your convenience. We trust that the above will be of assistance to you. Very truly yours, ,rARTHUR LEVITT State Comptroller -- LL— L. James C. Cooper Associate Counsel Rosenblatt/lr Enc. l' CC J.

May 19, 1978 78-338 Mr, Paul DeMartini Supervisor Town of Livonia 35 Commercial Street Livonia, New York 13487 Re: Town of Livonia Dear Mr. DeMartini: This.is in answer to your inquiry of March 30, 1970. A private association of individuals is attempting to build a senior citizens''' housing project and has requested donations from various sources, i.ncidding the Rotary Club and the town. You ask whether the town can contribute $500 from its contingent fund. It is not within the powers of a town g donation. .Article VIII, 51 of the New York hibits an outright donation by a town to any General Municipal Law, 529O authorizes a tow a housing facility for the elderly but gives butions by a town to a private organization this kind of .facility, overnment to make such a State Constitution pro - private organization. n to establish and operate no authority to contri- that wants to establish We must point out, however, that under General Municipal Law, 595-a, a town is authorized to contract with a private non-profit corporation or other private institution for the purpose of estab- lishing and maintaining programs for the welfare of the aging. Thus, a town might make a formal contract with a private association whereby that group is bound to maintain a specified form of housing for the elderly in return for payments to it by the town. Of course, even under General Municipal Law, 595-a, an outright donation is not author- ized. We trust that the above will be of assistance to you. smith/lr By Very truly yours, ARTHUR LEVITT State Comptroller• James C. Cooper - Associate Counsel ULYSSES YOUTH UNLIMITED November - December 1978 Report The growth experienced by Ulysses Youth Unlimited in recent months has become more evident during November and December. It is more a growth of depth than of expansion. We are keying in on those youths who come to us with a particular need, on those in whom we perceive a special need for involvement, and on those who are referred to us by probation, school personnel, or other community people. Each young person is worked with in regards to his/her particular case. Some, we assist in finding employment, some in finding a place to live. Some are in need of special counseling, so we refer them to the appropriate agency. Some are involved in recreation activities, and others are invited to take part in week -end trips. The one new aspect of our program is a big brother -- big sister program that began when we got three referrals from the Ithaca Youth Bureau of elementary aged children who were in need of one-to-one attention from an older person. During November and December, we matched each of these three children with a teenage big brother or sister. Though expansion of this program will be difficult under our present staffing capacity, we will be following these relationships and evaluating the degree of success which they attain over the next year. We received four referrals in the last two months, one from Tompkins County Probation and three from parents. We have been assisting the individual referred from Probation in finding a permanent job. One of the other three has been involved in some recreation and contact with the family has been regular. The other two have been contacted just once, and no regular involvement has yet been established. The Youth Employment Service had six calls for jobsin the last two months that resulted in 12 youths being employed short-term. We will be doing an extensive advertising campaign over the next few weeks in hopes of keeping up the regular calls for work. We were successful in locating a full-time job for a recent high school graduate, and we connected two youths up with the Learning Web who were interested in learning about a particular field. Basketball and bowling have been well attended regularly. We'll be doing some cross-country skiing and possibly some ice skating during January and February. in December, we received four complimentary tickets to the Cinderella ballet at the Strand, and four of our youths attended that. 20 youths attended a Christmas party the week before Christmas to gather and socialize, dance, and eat. This also doubled as a going away party for Judy McDonnell. Judy completed her internship and work-study position with us in December, but may stay with us a few hours a week as a volunteer. Well miss very much all the time and energy Judy has given to the Young people she's worked with and her contrihiitinns to the growth of Ulysses Youth Unlimited. November - December Report Cont.

Ulysses gives $5,000 for housing TRUMANSBURG — Ulysses Town Board Tuesday approved a contract which will mean a $5,000 contribu- tion from the town to senior citizens housing in Trumansburg. Monday night, Trumansburg Vil- lage Board approved a similar con- tract with Trumansburg Seniors, Inc., for $2,500. The town and village's combined contribution of $7,500 will be matched by Tompkins County, giving the community -based housing corporation a total of $15,000 for planning and design. The corporation hopes to build 40 apartments on Elm Street in Trumansburg. It has applied for a long-term, low interest loan of $1.3 million from the Farmers Home Administration to finance the con- struction itself, and for another $23,000 for planning from the Ap- palachian Regional Commission. Neither the loan nor grant has yet 'been approved. The village and town contributions will be made in the form of contracts with the corporation. Technically, in return for the money, the corpo- ration will be providing housing for the elderly for both municipalities. In other action Tuesday, the Ulysses board named James Warren of Agard Road to the town planning board, replacing Jack Giroux, who resigned because he is moving away from Ulysses.

Ilerrick. Others present: Councilmen William Agard, J. Frederick Allen, II. William Smith. Absent: Supervisor Bruce M. Payne. Also present: Town Attorney Arthur J. Golder, Jr., County Representative James A. Mason, Highway Supt. Rolf Holtkamp, Toning Officer David Cowan, Lilla Licht of the Free Press, Bookkeeper Aileen Beers, Town Clerk Marilyn E. Ough. Mr. Allen moved that the minutes of the February 13th, 1979 meet- ing, as typed and distributed to Board members, be approved. Mr. Smith seconded the motion, voted and carried. Representative James Mason reported several items of local inter- est: The CETA funded position of Assistant District Attorney ex- pires in April. Since it has proven of great service to Town courts and is helping to eliminate the backlog of cases, the County Board acted on and passed funding for the position on a permanent basis. The Board passed a resolution of protest concerning the State mandate to permit contact visitation in the jails without State assistance in funding for the changes that would be required. Mr. Mason believes that locally it would necessitate an addi- tion to the jail which indicates a substantial cash outlay. The Environmental Management Council advocates purchase of the railroad right-of-way but the County Board voted to withdraw from bidding on two sections. Mr. Mason stated the County is riot in the park business and a linear park would require more maintenance. He is not supporting the Environmental Management Council concept unless he hears otherwise from the Town. The new hospital is rapidly approaching completion. Board members inspected claim vouchers as follows: General Fund Nos. 50 through 68 Highway Fund Nos. 32 through 51 Part Town Fund Nos. 4 through 5 Mr. Agard then moved the claims, as submitted, be approved for payment by the Supervisor.

Mr. Smith moved the appointment of Robert Weatherby, Seneca Road, to the Planning Board to complete the term (February 1979 to January 1981) of Alec Proskine, resigned. Mr. Agard seconded the motion, voted and unanimously carried. Next on the agenda was the Planned Development District requested by Alan and Marjorie Grant. Mr. Herrick asked the wish of the Board regarding this and after some discussion Mr. Allen moved the matter be tabled until the April meeting. Mr. Smith seconded the motion, voted and unanimously carried. Mr. Herrick informed the Board that: Permission has been given Cornell to microfilm old copies of Free Press and Advertiser from the Town's historical files.

On March 24, ].978, Commissioner of Planning Frank Liguori issued a memorandum that briefly outlined some of the laws that relate to emergency actions which can be taken in case of a flood, or a potential flood. Since the potential flood season is here again, I felt it appropriate to redistribute the March 24, 1978 memo to you (copy attached). I hope you will make your associates aware of this statement so that no response time will be lost in case of an emergency situation. The reason for the original prepara- tion of this memo was to expedite early solutions to various flood problems and thus minimizing the amount of damage.

At the request of the Planning and Public Works Committee of the County Board of Representatives, we have prepared the attached summary statements which briefly outlines the State laws relating to these emer- gency actions, the applicability of the law and the legal reference to the law. The summary statements are not intended to be all inclusive but to .merely provide a quick, ready reference for your use should an emergency arise. If you should have questions in relation to the statements, your municipal attorney should be able to answer them. A separate copy is being mailed to the Chief Executive Officer of each municipality, the municipal Clerk, and the Highway or Public Works Super- intendent. This will insure that copies are on file where they will do the most good. FRL:ys Att. cc: Members, Board of Representatives J. J. Murphy, County Administrator J.

Bob Shefchik is with us 15 hours/week through Cornell work-study (and CIVITAS). Cathi Fischer and Mindy Klein are doing fieldwork here 8 hours/week through Ithaca College. Kim Adams and John Paley have both volunteered time as a big sister and brother. As a result of these people joining us, seven Trumansburg students ages 11 - 15 now have a big brother or sister. Another person, Sue Hughes, is working with pregnant teenagers, providing them with information about nutrition, exercise, and childbirth classes. We received five referrals in January and February, two from Tompkins County Probation, two from the schools, and one from a parent. The two referrals from Probation have been put to work in community service projects. Of the two from the schools, one now has a big sister and the other has been involved in our recreation program on a regular basis. The parental referral has yet to be contactec Two more teenagers have volunteered as big brothers for two elementary aged youths. These two are in addition to the previous three already set-up. More supervision time for the teenagers in this program would be desireable, but until more staff can be hired, this may not be possible. The Youth Employment Service is experiencing a winter slurp. Four calls for jobs resulted in two youths being hired. We're hoping calls will pick up as the warmer weather arrives. A new addition the Y.E.S. is a Board at the High School which displays the job listings from the Ithaca Youth Bureau's Y.E.S. Any Trumansburg student who is registered with our Y.E.S. may call the Ithaca Y.E.S. to get this job information. As yet, no Trumansburg youth has connected with a job on this board. On the long Presidents' Day week -end, Two staff members and three youths took a trip down to Washington, D.C., in a car loaned to us by Tim Maguire of Maguire Ford. Thanks Tim! We rode on the new Metro and visited many of the federal buildings and monuments in the mall area, the Smithsonian Institution Museums, and the National Zoo. Expenses for this and other trips are shared by all those who go. Wednesday night basketball has been very well attended in recent months. Bowling continues, now every Thursday afternoon. Three times during the snow season we took a group out to Podunk to croce-country ski. In exchange for the use of the skiing equipment at the Ski Center, the youths worked for a half hour after skiing. Thanks to Ossie Heila for making these arrangements possible.

I would, with your permission, like to begin canvassing in your area April 15 - August 15. NYPIRG is a nonprofit, nonpartisan corporation organized in 1973 under the New York State Not For Profit Corporation Law. NYPIRG is a research and advocacy organization with 150,000 members statewide. Its areas of concern include, but are not limited to, consumer protection, political reform, and environmental quality. NYPIRG has been issued a letter of tax exemption from the Internal Revenue Service under the provisions of the Internal Revenue Code Section 501 (c) 4. As a charitable organization, NYPIRG files periodic financial reports under the provisions of the New York Executive Law, Article 7-A, with the Secretary of State. Our canvassing would entail circulating petitions, soliciting small contributions, distributing information, and recruiting support (letters, calls, participation) on a variety of Legislative and Administrative actions. NYPIRG's activities recently have yielded such successes as the Home Insulation Act, the "Lay Language Law", the Freedom of Information Act, and property tax exemptions for solar and wind powered equipment. We also do work on senior citizens, health, and consumer issues. Enclosed are all appropriate documents verifying the aforementioned statements. Also, find enclosed a list of canvassers with dates of birth, Social Security numbers, and addresses. I hope that this information is useful and also demonstrates our willingness to cooperate in any way possible. If you have any questions, please call (collect).

Immediately following dinner President Francis Wright, Town of Danby Supervisor, conducted a short business meeting. Zoning and other Town Officials were urged to attend a meeting on May 1st with Frank Liguori regarding new State mandate enforcing minimum requirements on insulation in new building. A short report was given by a member of the Dog Control Committee (Carl Mann is our representative) with a promise of nora details after their 3-29-79 meeting. Mr. Wright introduced the speaker of the evening, Hugh Hurlbut. Mr. Hurlbut spoke on the CETA money available to County governmental and non-profit agencies. (The County received 231 million in funds last year.) These funds are available through three programs: SPEDY: (Summer Program for Economically Disadvantaged Youth) Short term summer program for Youth age 14-21 County supplies funds at minimum wage Municipality provides jobs that need doing (eg. cemetery cleanup, beautification project) with supervision. Municipality selects workers from County supplied list. PROJECTS: Unmet public service - with no available funds for same.

At present a regional history group, headed by Gould Colman, is microfilming historic Ulysses newspapers. They have 90-95% of the Advertiser, a ten year gap in the Sentinel and complete Free Press. Mr. Dills asked if the Town was willing to store microfilm copies and a Reader at the Town flail for public use and also budget, in the next year or so, for the purchase of a Reader. The Village will pay for a positive print of newspapers if a place is found to keep same plus a Reader. It was pointed out that storage need not be fancy or fireproof as long as ade- quate insurance was carried in the event of loss, to cover replac- ing the microfilm. Mr. Agard moved to table any decision until next meeting. Mr. Herrick seconded the motion requesting price information on the Reader, voted and carried. A need for re -numbering in the Town was pointed out. The Zoninq Officer and Town Clerk are continually receiving requests for house numbers. Mr. Mason stated the County Division of. Assesa•- nent and Fire Coordinator are working on a project involving com- puter re -arrangement that will help solve this problem. Mr. Payne read a letter from New York Public Interest Research Group, Inc. requesting permission to conduct charitable door-to- door canvass in the Town. (copy attached) Ile noted their location was SUNY at Binghamton so had called his nephew, a trustee at SUNY, requesting information on this group. fie got a favorable response and is satisfied they are doing some good. Mr. Mason asked if permission was needed and the consensus was Town Law did not require it and to give permission might be considered an en- dorsement. Mr. Herrick suggested an inquiry should go ':o the State Attorney General or Secretary of State and the Town Attorney be consulted. In regards to the Planned Development District requested by Allan and Marjorie Grant and tabled from the March meeting, Mr. Allen noted the petition that was submitted plus the Planning Board recommendation. Mr. Herrick moved approval of the Grant's re- quest with restrictive provisions to be drawn up by the Town Attorney. Mr. Allen seconded the motion, votnd and carried. Mr. Agard moved Mrs. Ough attend a conference on the new State Dog Law in Syracuse on April 25th, 1979. Mr. Allen seconded the motion, voted and carried. Mrs. Ough reported on licenses issued in March also County/Town taxes collected. Reports on file in Supervisor's office., She notarized 44 signatures in February and 35 in March. Three dog owners remain on the delinquent list and several puppy owners to be followed up. She has received a supply of Form IT -214, the Circuit Breaker Credit/Rebate, for homeowners and renters with a gross annual income of $12,000 or less. She then reported on the Tompkins County Municipal Official's Association meeting she and the Deputy Clerk attended March 21st. (copy attached) A discussion followed regarding the use of CETA, past and future. Mr. Mann noted the Village was happy with their experience last summer and felt the use of CETA benefited the community. Mr. Richar stated he was willing to put time into supervision on cemetery cleanup if the Town applies for CETA help. Mr. Allen reported on the meeting last week with Rolf Holtkamp at the Town Barn. They inspected the nine year old, one ton truck and decided to do some body work and minor repairs to get two or three more years of use. Mr. Mann recommended Fred Haight be considered for the repair work. Mrs. Beers reported on the Double -Entry Accounting School she is attending in Newfield. Zoning Officer David Cowan gave his March report and said he had inspected the three trailer parks in Ulysses with the following observations: Mr. Card is allowed eleven units plus has approval for a 12th used by the Caretaker Ulysses Town Board 4-10-79 page 3 Mr. Wellin is allowed ten units and has eight plus two living units in a barn. Because of the latter and size of property Mr. Cowan will contact the Town Attorney regarding the lowering of allowed units to eight. Mr. Auble is allowed 149 units and has 47 as of 3-26-79 Lilla Licht noted this was her last meeting as reporter for the Free Press. She is moving to Remsen,.New York in early May.

There being no further business Mr. Allen moved the meeting be adjourned at 9:35 p.m. Mr. Agard seconded the motion, voted and carried. Marilyn E. Ough Town Clerk I • Li R TOWN OF ULYSSES I� ZONING BOARD OF APPEALS 16 April 1979 PURPOSE OF HEARING: to consider application of Thomas J. Mahaney Jr and Jane C. Mahaney for a use variance under Art. VIII, Sec 1c4, for placement of directional -warning signs along Rte 89 to their property - the Spruce Row Camp Site, located on Kraft Road. PRESENT AT HEARING: Applicants: Mr and Mrs Mahaney Board Members: Chairman Seville Reulein Jr., Mary Slade Laura Koskinen, Merle Stillions, Peter Kahn; also Zoning Officer David Cowan, secretary A. Beers, guest John Slade Mr. Reulein called hearing to order at 7:30 p.m. in Town Hall. He invited Mr. Mahaney to elaborate on the use variance request. Mr. Mahaney described the current signs on Rte 89, saying he believed the signs placed along the ® highway by the State Dept of Transportation were inadequate to direct travellers to the camp site. Copy of application, accompanying letter of explanation, are attached. The problem of size, placement and number of directional signs required was discussed by Board members and Mr. Mahaney. Mr. Mahaney showed Board members a sign which he had prepared for placement in an advantageous spot along the highway. It was also brought out that Rte 89 is considered a secondary highway by the state and that the location of the camp site between Rtes 89 and 96 makes it difficult to located the site, especially when approaching it from Rte 89. The Board then retired for an executive session. Returning to the hearing Mr. Kahn moved the adoption of the following resolution: WHEREAS: Mr. and Mrs. Thomas J. Mahaney, present owners of Spruce Row Camp Site, have requested a use variance under Art VIII, Sec 1c4, of the Town of Ulysses Zoning Ordinance to erect additional signs along Rte 89 which is a secondary State highway, and WHEREAS: there are presently four State erected signs on Rte 89 and one non -conforming use 32-sq.ft. size sign going north, THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED: that a use variance be granted to Mr. and Mrs. Mahaney in the use of signs under the following conditions, since the plight of the owner is due to unique circumstances in that the camp site is located between two main highways and that routing off the highways is irregular and involves several road turns: 1. the present 32-sq.ft. sign at the Perry City Road - Rte 89 intersection be removed; 2. that two signs measuring 18x40 inches of the size presented at the hearing are to be permitted as follows: 1 sign north bound in the vicinity of the Mobil Gas station 1 sign south bound in the vicinity after the Agard Road, providing that such signs are erected in conformance ® with the State regulations for distance from the State right-of-way and also conforming to Art. VIII, Sec la, of the Town of Ulysses Zoning Ordinance which states 15 feet from any road right-of-way. Mrs. Koskinen seconded the motion. The voting was as follows: Mrs. Slade approve the resolution Mrs. Koskinen approve the resolution Mr. Stillions approve the resolution Mr. Kahn approve the resolution Mr. Reulein approve the resolution Motion carried. Mr. and Mrs. Mahaney will be officially notified of the Board's action by copy of these minutes. .l.Beers, sec.

Mr. Agard seconded the motion, voted and unanimously carried. Representative James Mason reported the County has voted participa- tion in a second mass transit funding for the Northeast - Town of Ithaca/Lansing. He expects a gradual escalation and participation by the County in the mass transit concept because of the energy/fuel shortage. He mentioned some alternate methods of transporting people and goods that are being explored. Mr. Mason asked if the Town was aware some municipally owned property considered elements • of water and parks system are being removed from the tax rolls. Mr. Payne noted the Town had replied to a request from Mr. Banner, Assis- tant Supt. of the Ithaca City School District, listing five properties • in the Town of Ulysses that are part of the Trumansburg water system but there has not been any further communication. The County Board is facing a decision on the one lane, 104 year old German Cross Road bridge. Ten years ago it was scheduled for rebuilding and now that it is ready to be done the controversy is whether to serve the people that live on the road or the people that use the road. Town Justice James E. Rice, Jr. brought to the attention of the Board legislation that the Magistrates Association of New York State and Tompkins County are supporting. The bill amends the General Municipal Law to increase from S5 to S15 the fees returned by the state to towns and villages for services rendered in handling cases involving violations of state law. This legislation is not asking the state to raise additional money but to return to local govern- ments a greater portion of the money which local governments send to them, in the form of traffic fines. A motion was made by Mr. Herrick, seconded by Mr. Allen, that the following resolution be adopted: WHEREAS: city, town, village and district courts hear and deter- mine cases involving violations of state law, and WHEREAS: fines and penalties collected by such courts are paid to the state in recognition of the fact that such violations are state offenses, and WHEREAS: in recognition of the services provided by the local courts, the State of New York has provided in section 99-1 of the General Municipal Law that local courts shall be reimbursed for services rendered in such cases in the amount of $5 per case, and WHEREAS: the amount of $5 was originally set forth in the Code of Criminal Procedure, section 740-a, by Chapter 737 of the Laws of 1939 and has remained unchanged for the past forty years, and WHEREAS: the costs of operation of local courts has increased substantially since 1939 while no increase in reimburse- ment by the state to local governments for court services has been granted, now THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED by the Town Board of the Town of Ulysses that the Legislature and the Governor be urged to act favorably on one of the proposals which would increase DAUCE M.

C.d. !It Albany, N. Y. 12207 461.7lf at 46!.261) To: ALL TOWN SUPERVISORS BINDING ARBITRATION ACTION -NEEDED Date: May 21st, 1979 At a meeting of the Executive Committee of this Association on Wednesday, May 16th, 1979 strong opposition was repeated against legislation continuing the present requirement for compulsory bind- ing arbitration, after an impasse, in negotiations between a local government and a union representing police and paid firemen. I was instructed to write you urging your support of our op- position to the extension of this requirement for the following reasons: • (1) If this "mandate" for compulsory arbitration of disputes between local governments and paid police and firemen is continued, the concept will spread 'eventually to all other groups of town employees in highway department, recreation departments, water and sewer departments - indeed the cancer will spread throughout all local government. (2) Turning the settlement of a labor dispute. over to arbitra- tors who have no role in or responsibility for local government budgeting and financing, cripples our fundampntal local legisla- tive system and will eventually erode the system and eliminate the local taxpayers' control and voice in how their hard-earned tax dollars are spent and for what purpose. (3) This kind of legislation favors a select few "special in- terest" organizations and unions. It ignores the overall interests of the taxpayers and electors of the state in every county, city, town and village of the state. (4) These special interest organizations and unions are well heeled financially and have already spent hundreds of millions of dollars in Albany to advance their cause of. extending binding arbitration. (5) Just because your town may not now have a paid police or (more) fire department does not mean that you should not be concerned, •1 r � � cq; 11 "'•,. f.�F's(iya .r . �i y n;: . BINDING ARBITRATION -Q;• because if the 'concept is continued, the control of your town financing and taxing power will move from town boards altogether and will be taken over by union leaders whose arbitrators will soon be. in effect running our local governments. r: I urge your support. Let your State Assemblyman and Senator know that you are totally opposed to compulsory' binding arbitra- tion in any form. No compromise will. be acceptable. The concept must end NOW, at this Session of the Legislature. This must beta real "grass roots" movement. . We in the Arsso--... ciation of Towns are and have been vigorously opposing this legis- lation in cooperation with the representatives of counties, cities and villages. It is up to you now to get the message to your individual Legislators. They must be told by you and by all their C — constituents in your town that if they enact into law this proposed extension of binding arbitration of public labor disputes, they must.be prepared to come back to their, districts and explain to their -taxpayers/electors why they have done this to them.

The change is primarily to benefit people whose 1978 income exceeded the previous limit ($70200) because of cost of living increases in Social Security. The Amendments provide: - The maximum income limit is raised from $7,200 to $8,000. The new limits will apply only if the county, city, town, village and/or school district passes a law or resolution to provide for the increase. - In order to make the now income level availatlo for this tax year, the municipality has an additional 60 days from taxable statue date to enact the increase. This applies to 1979 only. For those 65 plus who are made eligible by an increase in the income limit, the filing date for applications (which is normally on or before taxable status date) is now the date on which the assessor must file the assessment role. This also applies to 1979 only. Those municipalities raising the income limits must notify the County Office for the Aging of their action, and the County Office is then responsible for giving such action public notice. Our interpretation is that only towns and school districts will be able to enact the resolutions necessary to make this change effective for 1979 - 1900 taxes and they can do it only if they act before July 1 (i.e. 60 days after the normal taxable status date in the towns.) Page 2 Memo continued June 11, 1979 Eligible individuals in any municipalities that pass the necessary resolution will have until August I to file. The changes in dates apply to 1979 only. Residents of the city will not benefit in 1979 because it is already more than 60 days after the city's taxable status date, and the assessment rotA has already been filed. We are asking that towns and school districts consider the question of raising your present limit before July 1, and that other boards Cb so later in the year. If you do change your limit, please notify the assessment division and our office and we will help with publicity. We realize that you are not getting much notice and that you need to schedule a public hearing. We have just received notice of the changes ourselves.

A map of the site was passed to Board members and Mr. Cowan explained the site. The Planning Board approved the proposal at their meeting June 7, 1979. A Public Hearing on the matter is scheduled for June 27, 1979 at 7:30 p.m. Attorney Martin Luster presented a complaint by Mr. Gill regarding the Stover property on Gorge Road being used as a commercial opera- tion.

He has marked a map of the Town with all trailers not in compliance, for action. In answer to a question on the annual Trailer Park Permit fees for 1979, he expects to get the bills out very soon. Mr. Holtkamp reported the County had taken over Sheffield Road and asked Mr. Mason to inquire if the County was interested in the stretch from 96 to Iradell to tie the two links together. He spoke of the possibility of contracting with the County for making, re- placing and maintenance of the Town road signs (other than street signs). He will get further information regarding costs. Mr. Holtkamp gave his May Highway report, on file in the Supervisor's office, and also noted they had removed brush and mowed cemeteries, mowed all roads, moved voting machine from the Glenwood School to County Home, replaced culvert on Curry Road (Donovan Plan road next year) and expected to start paving the next day on Rice Road follow- ed by Mekeel Road. Repair on the deteriorating Town Hall entrance walk was discussed. Members of the Board gave the Supervisor and Mr. Holtkamp permission to redo as they see fit. Mr. Agard asked if anything had been accomplished on the Halseyville/ Perry City Roads intersection. Mr. Mason said the proposed solution to the problem was 'in the works'.

The differences between them are minor, and some incorporate recent changes in the Agriculture and Markets Law. For a number of practical reasons, it would seem appropriate for the Town of Ulysses to cooperate with the other munici- palities of the County in adopting a uniform law in this area. Cooperation with other municipalities toward a joint approach -to resolution of a similar problem is specifically authorized by the General Municipal Law. I assume the detail of this cooperative effort has yet to be worked out by the Municipal Officials' Association, but if the Town of Ulysses chose to participate there would be no legal impediment to doing so.

ULYSSES YOUTH WLIMITED March - April 1979 Report' Judy McDonnell, who worked with us last year, has returned to work part-time for one year. Judy is handling the big brother -big sister matches, working with some of our diversion referrals, and is working with indivisual youths as well. There were 15 calls for jobs during March and April that resulted in 18 youths being hired. Five of these jobs are regular weekly jobs which will continue through the summer, and two jobs are still in the process of being filled. This has been a very active period for the Youth Employment Service. We hope it continues! in the past two months we have had one referral from the local police and four from the schools. Of these, we are hoping to match one with a big brother, involve one in regular activities, and find a job for another. Two are still left to be contacted. During the week of spring vacation, we had free movies in the Presbyterian Chapel on three afternoons. Popcorn and soda was for sale to benefit the UYU program. Thank you Wayt}e and Ricky Gregoire -Cope at .the T -burg Short Stop for the loan of the popcorn machine! About 30 youths came each day. From April 19 to the 22, three youths, one staff member, and 2 big sisters, went to New York City to see the sights. We stayed at the University Heights Presbyterian Church in the Bronx and spent two full days in Manhatten seeing the Empire State Building, Fifth Ave, Central Park, and Rockefeller Center. The parents of one of our big sister's bought us all tickets for the Circus at Madison Square Garden -- a real highlight of the trip -- and then treated us to dinner at Burger King. Thanks to Priscilla and K.C. Ogata for the loan of their station wagon at the last minute. We couldn't have made it in anything smaller! The night of April 28, UYU sponsored a dance at the high school. It was organized and run by some of the older youths and was attended by some 270 teenagers -- a very successful dance. We had our last days of bowling in April as good weather approaches and interest dwindles. Basketball continued right up to the end of the month with very steady attendance. Softball will begin on Wednesday nights in May. We'd like to thank Joan Cooke at the Finger Lakes Library System for sending us some high interest paperbacks for our small library.

I am Caroline G. Bingham, the E.O.C. Outreach worker for Ulysses and Enfield. As I live in the Newfield telephone area which is long distance from the Town of Ulyssess, it would be of value to the E.O.C. program to have a local telephone number and place for people to leave messages. While those with a phone or a dime can call the E.O.C. office in Ithaca and leave messages, it is difficult for people who do not have phones or transporation to make contact. Your building is centrally located and more convenient for the populace than most buildings in town. It would be appreciated if your town board would discuss this possibility at its next meeting and advise me of your decision. I am available for further explanation if necessary. I can be reached at 273-8816, 9 a.m. - 5 p.m. (leave message) and at 564-7867 evenings. CB/mg Enclosure: Proposal Very truly yours, Caroline G. Bingham Outreach Worker RECEIVED 11!.^ y 1 r. 15?)

O'Connell, infant Bryan Moellman, and John Slade. Mr. Reulein called hearing to order at 7:30 p.m. lie asked Mr. I•foellman to state the reasons for the variance application. Mr. Moellman said they wished to build a detached garage measuring 24x24 feet on the east side of the residence, approximately 11 feet from the residence, and 92=; feet from the center line of the roadway. This would place the garage structure approximately 8 feet from the property line. Mr. Moellman said Mr. Raymond Kraft, owner of the farm property to the east of their lot, has no objections to the garage being erected that close to the lot line. When asked about placing the garage structure on the west side of the house, Mr. and Mrs. Moellman said entraces to the home was on the east side. A telephone call to Mr. Kraft revealed he was not opposed to the gauge being that close to the lot line and that he was willing to sign an agreement to that effect, since he could not sell Mr. and Mrs. Moellman additional property. Mr. Kahn asked about the design and structureal details of the proposed building. Both Mr. and Mrs. Moellman indicated they wished the garage to be constructed in a design which would be in keeping with the architectural design of the house. The Board then retired for an executive session. Returning to the hearing Mr. Reulein asked the secretary to read the following proposed 1 resolution: ® WHEREAS: Mr. and Mrs. Barry Moellman of Agard Road, Trumansburg, NewYo have requested permission to erect a 2 -car garage measuring 24x24 feet, 8 feet from the lot line which is at variance with the 15• -feet side yard required under Article V, Sec 2, of of the Zoning Ordinance, and 92'•feet from the center line of the roadway, and WHEREAS: Mr. Raymond Kraft as owner of the property on the east side of the Moellman property and adjacent to the lot line in question, has indicated his willingness to sign an agreement stating that he has no objections to the garage structure being that close to the lot line, and WHEREAS: certain structural and esthetic difficulties would adversely affect the quality of the property if the garage were to be attached to the house, and WHEREAS: granting of the variance would not substantially change the character of the neighborhood nor increase the population density, THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED: that the area variance in question be • granted as petitioned. Mrs. Koskinen then moved the resolution be adopted, Mr. Kahn seconded the motion.

Stilwell for a variance to the Town of Ulysses Zoning Ordinance under Article V. Section 2, on his property at 57 Searsburg Road, Trumansburg, New York (parcel L1-2-4) PRESENT AT HEARING: Appeals Board Chairman Seville Reulein, Laura Koskinen, Mary Slade, and A. Beers, see. Absent: Merle Stillions, Peter Kahn. Also present: Mr. Stilwell, the applicant, Charles Hendry, J. F. Allen, residents on Searsburg Road, John Slade and Horace F. Crass, Mr. Reulein called hearing to order at 7:30 p.m. in the Town Hall, and asked Mrs. Beers to take a roll call of Board members. lie then asked Mr. Stilwell to state his reasons for the area variance request. Mr. Stilwell said the garage structure would measure 25x30 feet with a heighth of about 17 feet, which would house his son's tractor -trailer. He said his son lives in Waterburg. He also said he had purchased land from Mr. Frank Moore on which the proposed garage structure would be placed. Because of the terrain, the structure would have to be placed approximately 36 feet from the ednge of the Searsburg Road right-of-way, with a 40 -foot wide drive way. The Zoning Ordinance requires a distance of 50 feet from the road right-of-way. Board members asked Mr. Stilwell about the type of structure proposed and were advised the structure would be of metal with slanting side walls. Mr. Reulein asked Mrs. Beers to read two letters received from residents on Searsburg Road adjacent to the property site involved. She read a letter from Margaret J. Fiser in which Mrs. Fiser said she objected to the erection of the garage structure; and a letter from James A. Mason in which Mr. Mason also objected to the erection of the proposed structure. Copies of the letters are attached to these minutes. Mr. Hendry spoke to the Board, saying he owns 31 acres across the road from Mr. Stilwell, this property having a 1040 feet frontage on the road. He said he believes the erection of this type of structure to house a commercial vehicle would be detrimental to the value of the surrounding property, and believes the property of Mr. Stilwell would also be depreciated in value. He listed three points in his argument: (1) the distance of the proposed structure from the road - right -of -way is less than the Ordinance requires, (2) the structure type would not be in keeping with the residential nature of the community and therefore would be a detriment, (3) the structure was not planned for Mr. Stilwell's own use. Mr. Hendry felt it was bad enough that Mr. Stilwell's son parks his tractor - trailer there on the property on most weekend at present. The Board then retired for an executive session. Returning to the hearing, Mr. Reulein asked the secretary to read the proposed resolution: WHEREAS: Mr. Harold C. Stilwell has applied for an area variance under Article V, Sec. 2, of the Town of Ulysses Zoning Ordinance, and WHEREAS: the Zoning Board of Appeals has considered the following facts: 1. after hearing three statements from immediate area residents objecting • to housing a commercial vehicle on the property; 2. construction of the proposed garage for the purpose of housing a commercial vehicle would produce a substantial change in the character of the residential neighborhood; 3. the difficulty could be obviated by some other nethod feasible for the applicant to pursue other than a variance 90 U- • D ECEIVED Y & ✓ z JUN111973 11979 , Ott '9 f y� Q cr%*4&%_* .1r4 '4 1• -- ___ - - iLjJ JcL aJc[ ¶Ab 744 :.wjp vfrv.: i ?ts7vU*ji 1t RECEIVED June 11, 1979 Mr. Seville S. Reulein, Chairman Ulysses Board of Zoning Appeals Ulysses Town Hall Trumansburg, N.Y. 14886 Dear Mr. Reulein: JUN 111979 MM Oa ULYSSES Although I am unable to attend the hearing scheduled for June 11, 1979 concerning the appeal of Mr. Harold Stilwell for an area variance, I would like to take this opportunity to question the intent of the applicant and the necessity of the structure he proposes. It has come to my attention that the purpose of the proposed structure is to provide a service facility for the tractor portion of the large tractor trailer truck owned by the son of the applicant. The son, who makes his residence elsewhere, has recently started using the premises to park the tractor trailer truck. Formally, the truck had been parked in a municipal lot in the Village of Trumansburg. I seriously question the wisdom or desirability of granting an area variance in order to accommodate the storage and servicing of large commercial vehicles in a residential neighborhood. There is no justification for a variance and Appeals will give this due consideration. Thank you. Yours tr ly, • ames A.

Mrs. Slade moved the adoption of the resolution, Mrs. Koskinen seconded the motion.

Mr. Allen requested statements from those present. Mr. Baker stated he was interested in seeing the maximum income level raised because so many of our elder citizens are on the edge of the present income level that the Social Security increase in July will put them over.

Mr. Allen called the public hearing to order at 7:30 p.m. in the Town Hall. Mrs. Ough read the legal notice of the hearing. Mr. Allen requested statements from those in favor of permitting a Recreational Vehicle Display and Sales Area at Spruce Row camp- site. Helen Hughes lives next door to the campside and saw no problem in allowing the display and sales area. Roger Wright could see no problem and in fact thought it would help his business. -want John Sladish asked for a detailed explanation of what the Mahaneys ® want to do. Bob Mahaney explained there would be a display/sales area for 8-10 recreational vehicle units from Fletchers for the campers to look over. John Snedeker questioned the issue at stake. Arlee Robinson stated Spruce Row is a Planned Development District and as such is restricted. Any proposed change must be submitted to the Planning Board and then on to a public hearing before the Town Board. Mr. Snedeker is in favor of the change - saw no reason why the campsite should be restricted from displaying and selling recrea- tion vehicles. Recreation vehicles are a way of life today and in a way help conserve energy. Cawn Westbrook stated they spend six months a year at Spruce Row and could not envision any problems with the requested change. She favored sales for the campers benefit. Mr. Crass stated he lived on that road and questioned what sales would do for the community. Kathie Wright said it would prove helpful to the community and bring business to the Jacksonville/Trumansburg area. The 8-10 units would not involve that many more, traffic wise. Mr. Crass voiced his opposition because of vandalism, trash and traffic. Mrs. Westbrook said it was easy to jump to that conclusion regard- ing litter and damage along roads but may use the roads besides campers. Mr. Crass noted trailers loaded with unlicensed mini -bikes that ride roads and railroad bed. Mr. Mahaney said these bikes were from the Town and had been asked to leave.

Payne Town of Ulysses Board Trumansburg, New York Re: Spruce Row Trailer Camp RECEIVED 6-25-79 JUN 261979 I0WN 08 ULYSSES It has come to our attention that Spruce Row is planning to request a sales permit for sale of mobile campers, etc. As strong advocates of enforced zoning in the Town of Ulysses, we herewith express our objections to such a permit. We have followed the expansion of Spruce Row from its formation and believe the owners, presenr and original, have exceeded the original variance granted to them, both in number of camp sitesand limits of commercialization in their store. Use of camp was limited to season between April 1 and October. We in the neighborhood have experienced increased road noises through trailer travel and use of motor cycles especially during late week, weekend, and early Monday travel, and considerable littering along our road. A trailer sales business would only invite much more road noise due to travel as a result of the sales business. A trailer sales business is also a non -conforming use of the neighborhood, and neither the roads nor the area can accommodate such use. The original variance for the camp site was granted over strong objection by the local residents and granted with the understanding that there would be no further expansion over the original limitations. Granting of a sales permit (for traile to Spruce Row would be a violation of the original variance to operate the camp site. Further, if continued expansion and variance is allowed in this case without• restriction, the zoning board will•no'doubt find it:more difficult to enforce the zoning laws as future violations and challenges are presented to it. We sincerely hope the Town of Ulysses Board and the Zoning Board will seriously consider these objections. cc: Mary Slade, Zoning Board Member 9/e L)) Ti Planning Board meeting minutes 6-7-72 p2 f.

As a neighbor and resident, I support this application and hope personally it will be acted upon favorably. Ulysses Town Board Public Hearing 6-27-79 page 2 Mr. Mahaney submitted a petition to the Board signed by neighbors and residents of the Town approving the salon and display area. Copy attached, Mr. Allen asked for comments from those in opposition. Mrs. Robinson asked for a complete definition of recreation vehicles - could mean snowmobiles, hondas. Also an explanation of the ad in the Pennysaver advertising dance and hayrides. Is it just for campers or open to the public? Mr. Mahaney stated activities are limited to the registered campers at the campground. Mr. Crass said this would create a commercial operation in a ® residential zone. In answer to a question regarding what restrictions on commercial sales are now in force at the campsite Mrs. Beers read that portion of the revision to the Planned Development District adopted June 13, 1972 Dick Baker has seen the operation grow from 25 units to 150-200 so easily. He was not in on the fight to stop the original when the majority were against the campsite. Asked where is his protection in zoning when variance after variance is granted. Mr. Crass - next there will be a trailer park here. Mr. Sladish complained of trailers turning in his driveway and said he protested first campsite and wasn't heard. Mrs. Westbrook stated we should have more faith in our elected officials for not going beyond the bounds of common sense. We shouldn't get carried away with what may happen in the future and stay with the issue at hand. Mr. Sladish asked how we are going to protect ourselves against the undesirable. Mr. Crass stated that all the concerns shown in 1965 have developed. The campsite is large enough. The community and roadways can't take more campers or commercialism. George Patte stated the basic issue to be turning a Planned Devel- opment District into a commercial district with customers that come by. The original intent in 1965 for the Planned Development Dis- trict was recreational and since then the numbers have expanded. He is against the retail, making it commercial in a residential area, as residents will be more bothered than they are now. Mary Patte asked if there would be a showroom and how the vehicles would be displayed. Mrs. Patte was shown the map of the area, copy attached, and Mr. Mahaney said they would add a sign underneath the exsisting sign 'trailer sales'. Fred Baker stated he was opposed to the campsite in the beginning. He is disturbed by loud music from the campsite Friday nights and is against granting the variance. • Elaine Smith a resident of Auble Trailer Park noted she visits friends at Spruce Row and has found it peaceful, quiet and relax- ing - not a trailer park atmosphere. She is for variance. D. Williamson was in favor of variance. Mr. Richar stated he is a recreation vehicle owner and in favor of the variance. We should not have to travel to Elmira or Marathon to buy a recreation vehicle - keep the sales tax revenues in the community. Mrs. Ough read letter of objection, copy attached. Mrs. Robinson asked that the variance, if granted, be very specific. Ruth Baker was in favor of Spruce Row but against their going into selling. There being no further comments Mr. Allen adjourned the public hearing at 8:20 p.m. & 4,4 Town Clerk ULYSSES TOWN BOARD July 10, 1979 The regular monthly meeting of the Ulysses Town Board was called to order. at 8 p.m. in the Town Hall by Supervisor Bruce M. Payne. Others present: Councilmen William Agard, J. Frederick Allen, 11. William Smith. Absent: Robert C. Herrick. Also present: County Representative James A. Mason, Highway Supt. Rolf A. Holtkamp, Chairman Zoning Board of Appeals Seville Reulein, Jr., Deputy Clerk Patricia Van Liew, Richard O. Montgomery, Robert Mahaney, Tom Mahaney, Carl Cox, Arlee Robinson, Earl Richar, Bookkeeper. Aileen Beers, Town Clerk Marilyn E. Ough. A motion was made by Mr. Allen, seconded by Mr. Agard, voted and unanimously carried, that the minutes of the June 12, 1979 meeting, as typed and distributed to Board members, be approved. Board members inspected claim vouchers as follows: General Fund Nos. 123 through 142 Highway Fund Nos. 99 through 109 Part Town Fund Nos. 22 through 23 Mr. Agard moved the claims, as submitted, be approved for payment by the Supervisor. Mr. Smith seconded the motion, voted and unanimously carried. Representative James Mason reported: a. He contacted Bill Mobbs, County Public Works Commissioner, regarding the Halseyville/Perry City Roads intersection. The County expects the hot -mix paver in the County next week for three weeks. Sometime during those three weeks the Halseyville Road will be done. b. H spoke with Harry Missirian in the Planning Office about the responsibility for house numbering. Mr. Missirian said the Zoning Officer should issue house numbers but if there is a problem area the Planning Office will work with the Zoning Officer. Mr. Mason noted that at this time it is not feasible to tie-in with the computer at the Assessors Office since their program is limited on property frontages. c. A County Dog Control Commission was proposed to the County Board by Dryden Town Supervisor Clinton Cotterill, Chairman of a special committee of the Tompkins County Municipal Officers Associa- tion. The Commission would be composed of five members - one from the City of Ithaca, one from the Board of Representatives and three representing County municipalities. They would receive the dog fees, negotiate a County -wide contract with the SPCA, set uniform licensing fees and in general shoulder many of the municipality responsibilities that are mandated by the State Dog Control Law that goes into effect January 1, 1980. Also under consideration is a uniform County -wide dog control ordinance that would be enforced by the SPCA at whatever level service a municipality requests. The County Board asked Mr. Cotterill to poll the County municipalities to see if they would support the Commission concept and to report at the July 17th meeting of the Public Safety & Corrections Committee (Mr. Mason is Chairman). Attorney Robert Williamson will also report at that meeting on the requirements for setting up the Commission. Mr. Mason asked for a consensus on the above matter and after some discussion a motion was made by Mr. Allen, seconded by Mr. Smith, that the Town of Ulysses express support for a County Dog Control Commission believing this to be the best approach for Tompkins County municipalities. Approved Mr. Agard Aye Mr. Allen Aye Mr. Smith Aye Mr. Payne Aye Mr. Payne requested a count on those riding in the Firemen's Day parade July 13th and noted State Assemblyman 'Sam' MacNeil would be joining us again this year. A motion was made by Mr. Agard to accept the resignation of Mrs. Mary S. Slade from the Zoning Board of Appeals and to appoint Mrs. Adrienne VanDyk to complete the term of Mrs. Slade (January 1984). Mr. Allen seconded the motion, voted and unanimously carried. Mr. Allen moved, seconded by Mr. Agard, voted and unanimously carried, that a letter of appreciation be sent to Mrs. Slade for her service to the Zoning Board of Appeals. June 19, 1979 Mr. Bruce Payne Trumansburg, N.Y. 14886 Dear Bruce, This is to inform you that I would like you to have my resignation from the. Board of Appeals effective as of now.

We are attempting to construct a running track and improve drainage for our football field. Unfortunately the low bid is $31,000. higher than the funds available. it is our request that the Town assist us by providing a 10 -wheel dump truck with driver for a maximum of one week, and possibly a bulldozer if you have one. Use of the Town's grader and loader also, will make this project a reality. We certainly would accept responsibility for fuel costs, etc. as necessary. Work will be conducted during July and August. As a formality, the Board of Education has already indicated responsibility for acceptance should your Board agree to help.

Mrs. Ough read a letter received from State Assemblyman H. Sam MacNeil regarding binding arbitration and also letters from Robert J. Morgado, Secretary to the Governor and State Assemblyman H. Sam MacNeil on increasing the amounts reimbursed by the State to local courts (copies attached). She reported on licenses issued in June (copy in Supervisor's office) and noted dump permits are no longer being issued at the Town Clerk's office. Seymour landfill is issu- ing bumper stickers at the dump when given proof of Town residency. • Mr. Cox announced the new local manager for ATC is Mr. Suhanovsky with John Moran as Assistant Manager. The Town has received letters regarding cable extension for Garrett Road and Jacksonville Road. The cable trunk stopped at the Village line on South Street so extension will be costly. Figures on this extension should be available by the weekend. Mr. Cox suggested Jack Radzik be invited to speak to the Town Board regarding cable extensions and the expenses involved. Mrs. Robinson asked if it is possible for the potholes on Route 96 in the Town of Ulysses, especially around the Babcock main office, to be filled and also the center lane divider be painted in Jacksonville, clearly defining the no passing zones. It is partic- ularly dangerous in front of the Post Office and at street inter- sections. Mr. Holtkamp stated the State has no funds for patching so it is being done on a spotty basis. A motion was made by Mr. Agard, seconded by Mr. Smith, that the following resolution be adopted: WHEREAS: dangerous potholes exsist on Route 96, especially around the Babcock main office, and WHEREAS: the lack of a clearly defined center lane divider showing the no passing zone in Jacksonville makes it particularly dangerous in front of the Post Office and at street intersections, now THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED: the Ulysses Town Board request the New York State Department of Transportation repair Route 96 in the Town of Ulysses and paint the center lane divider on Route 96 in Jacksonville as soon as possible, and FURTHER RESOLVED: notification of this resolution be sent to Fred Grout, District Engineer, New York State Depart- ment of Transportation, Ithaca, New York.

Witness my hand and the seal of said Town this 20th day of July, Nineteen hundred seventy-ni-=_, Ulysses Town Clerk 3%- p. tflynne❑ Torn Board 7-10-79 page 4 about. She mentioned a Roto-Rootor business being run on Iradell Road with a new garage and four commercial vehicles; a mobile home occupied on Soarsburg Road since last November: the following places in violation: Hurd, Bradford, Orton and Charles Simmons; plus many junk cars. Mr. Mason also regretted the absence of Mr. Cowan and the Town Attorney Mr. Golder. He spoke of the issuance of a building permit by the Zoning Officer to Harold C. Stilwell on Searsburg Road after the permit had originally been denied by the Zoning Officer and, following a public hearing, an area variance had been denied by the Zoning Board of Appeals. The Zoning Officer claiming that after a consulti.alIoon with the Town Attorney the Town Attorney told him to issue the building permit. In answer to the question as to whether it had been verified that the Town Attorney ordered the Zoning Officer to issue the building permit Mr. Mason said he tried to talk to the Town Attorney and he refused to discuss the matter. Mr. Mason spoke with Seville Reulein, Chairman of the Zoning Board of Appeals and found he had not been informed the permit had been issued. Mr. Mason stated it was disconcerting to be ignored by the Town Attorney and the Zoning Officer and he was disturbed by what he believes to be a misinterpretation of the Zoning Ordinance. Unless a new building permit application, substantially different from the first one, was filed he felt the Zoning Officer acted arbitrarily and capriciously and that Article 78 of the State's Civil Practice Law and Rules be used against the Zoning Officer. Also, the building permit be revoked until the matter is settled in the Courts. Mr. Reulein interjected that he was unaware of the issuance of the building permit and that neither he nor the Zoning Board of Appeals were consulted. He felt the matter atuld have come back to the Zoning Board of Appeals if there was a wrong to be made right. Mrs. Robinson noted the Town Attorney is appointed with no authority to issue building permits or to tell the Zoning Officer to do so. She would like to see an attorney appointed to take care of just Zoning problems. Mr. Reulein agreed. Mr. Mason reiterated that if there was new evidence to support issuance of the building permit and the building will be constructed in a legal manner there would be no problem. However, it was wrong to overrule and ignore the Zoning Board of Appeals. Proper channels were not followed and without even the courtesy of informing those involved. Mrs. Robinson asked that Glenwood Pines be prevented from using their new addition until that matter is settled. Mr. Richar asked if Mr. Cowan's authority could be rescinded until his actions are proven right. Mr. Reulein noted that several requests for variance have come through under the wrong section of the Zoning Ordinance and if Mr. Cowan has a question regarding how a request for a variance should be handled to wait and check it out. Mrs. Robinson was in favor of using Article 78. Mr. Agard asked if Mr. Cowan could be put on inactive list until there is a new Zoning Officer appointed. Mr. Mason again asked the building permit for Stilwell be rescinded. At 9:15 p.m. Mr. Agard moved, seconded by Mr. Smith, the meeting recess until Monday, July 23, 1979 at 7:30 p.m., voted and unan- imously carried. Ulysses approves dog control By FRED GASKINS Journal Wrlln ULYSSES — The formation of a county -wide animal control com- mission was given approval Tuesday night by the Ulysses Town Board.

Barry will be working one-to-one with elementary aged boys and helping with the supervision of trips for 8 - 13 year olds. Carol will be coordinating our outdoor program including day hikes and overnight trips. Dave and Ann will be working one-to-one, each having three youths, and taking part in all of the regular ongoing programs. Sue Tyczinski, who worked with us all of last year, is going to be planning, organizing, and supervising the two all day trips for 8 - 13 year olds. The money for these trips this year comes from some extra NYS DFY money that was made available to the Town of Ulysses. The drop -in room located next to our office in the basement of the Presbyterian Chapel will be open now through the last week in August. We'll be open Monday through Thursday 4 - 9:00 and Saturdays 12 -..5:00. Ping pong and fussball are available, as well as games, books, a stereo, and crafts projects. Wednesday night softball will be continuing through the summer. We meet on the school fields at 6:00. Also, until the end of August, we will be swimming every Tuesday and Thursday at Buttermilk, Treman, or Taughannock (once the lake warms up). We meet at 1:00 in the parking lot across from Holton's Pharmacy and are usually back around 4:00. ft The Youth Employment Service continues to receive many more job requests. During May and. June there were 15 calls for jobs that hired 14 teenagers, and two jobs are still waiting to be filled. In addition, three youths received jobs through the Ithaca Y.E.S. The Ithaca Y.E.S. jobs will be posted in the drop -in room for the summer. When school opens, we will move it back to the school. We received two referrals from the schools during May and June. One will be set up with a tutor; the other has a big brother. At the All -Sports Boosters Flea Market in May, we all rallied together a book sale and a raffle to raise money for the program. People in the community responded very generously to our request for used books and the sale was very successful. The raffle was made possible by Trumansburg merchants who contributed the prizes: Village Clothing (two prizes), the Short Stop, Maguire Ford, The Store at Treman's Village, Millspaughs, Western Auto, and the P & C. Thanks to all of them! Then in .June, we had another fund raiser -- a talent show carried out predominently by a group of teenagers who call themselves the Bedlam Brothers. It wa: held in the elementary school auditorium and had competitors from all over Tompkins County. Thank you Bedlam Brothers for a wonderful show. May - June Report Cont.

Payne called the adjourned July 10, 1979 meeting of the Ulysses Town Board to order at 7:30 p.m. in the Town Hall lighted by candles due to a power failure. Others present: Councilmen: William Agard, J. Frederick Allen, Robert C. Herrick, H. William Smith. Also present: County Representa- tive James A. Mason, Town Attorney Arthur J. Golder, Jr., Zoning Officer David Cowan, Chairman Seville Reulein and Adrienne VanDyk of the Board of Zoning Appeals, Trumansburg Mayor Carl Mann, Assistant Manager John Moran and Engineer Jack Radzik of ATC, Attorney Martin Luster, Carl Cox, Arlee Robinson, Charles Hendry, Mary Slade, Mrs. Culver of the Free Press, Deputy Town Clerk Patricia VanLiew, Bookkeeper Aileen Beers, Town Clerk Marilyn E. Ough. Mr. Payne read a letter from the County Board of Representatives Intergovernmental Relations Committee regarding membership status on the Tompkins County Youth Board. He noted the Ulysses Repre- sentative to this Board, Joseph Garfield, has been unable to attend any meetings so has, in effect, resigned. Harold Wright has expressed interest in the appointment. In answer to a question! regarding Mr. Wright's residency in Seneca County Mr. Payne answered, according to Youth Bureau Director John Gaines, Mr. Wright is eligible because of his involvement with the local American Legion baseball program. A motion was made by Mr. Herrick, seconded by Mr. Smith, that Harold Wright be appointed Ulysses Representative to the Tompkins County Youth Board replacing Joseph Garfield. Approved. Mr. Agard Aye Mr. Allen Aye Mr. Herrick Aye Mr. Smith Aye Mr. Payne Aye Mr. Payne read the resignation of Zoning Officer David Cowan. A motion was made by Mr. Allen, seconded by Mr. Agard, that the resignation of David Cowan as Zoning Officer be accepted. Approved. Mr. Agard Aye Mr. Allen Aye Mr. Herrick Aye Mr. Smith Aye Mr. Payne Aye Mr. Reulein stated he had spoken to Mary Slade regarding the position of Zoning officer. She is retired, active in the commu- nity and willing to accept the job if it is offered. She lives on Maplewood Point, knows our community well and has the time to de- vote to the position. The Board members asked Mr. Reulein to call Mrs. Slade and invite her to the meeting so they could meet with her. Mr. Golder brought to the attention of the Board the importance of also filling the position of Deputy Zoning Officer. In answer to a question regarding the job description for Zoning Officer Mr. Cowan noted the Zoning Ordinance spells out the duties • of the job. A motion was made by Mr. Allen, seconded by Mr. Agard, that the Board recess while awaiting the arrival of Mrs. Slade and repre- sentatives of ATC, voted and unanimously carried. Mr. Payne reconvened the meeting at 8 p.m. and gave the floor to Carl Cox. Mr. Cox introduced Assistant Manager John Moran and Engineer Jack Radzik of ATC. Mr. Moran spoke of the three areas requesting TV cable extension. The Town has received letters on Garrett and Jacksonville Roads and will soon be receiving a letter on South Street Extension. On the latter, if all 14 eligible homes subscribe, the cost of extension will be about $40 plus a $25 installation charge. Mr. Radzik elaborated on the expenses involved in TV cable extension. Secondary 'feeder' lines can only be extended so far (to insure good reception for those along the line) and then a new 'feeder' line must branch off the primary 'trunk' line. ATC beinythe last on the service poles must also pay for any changes that are required when they attach their cable. In answer to a question from Mr. Herrick on who will I BOA Honorable Bruce M. Payne 16 Elm Street Trumansburg, NY 14886 Dear Mr. Payne: July 6, 1979 GNUS When the County Board of Representatives voted to establish a county -wide youth board, it gave the towns, villages and city the responsibility to name representatives to the board. This procedure insures that the views and rights of each municipality are a central part of county -wide youth planning. But the system is not working well, because out of twenty-one positions on the board, fully.seven are vacant - one third of the board. In another three cases the named representative attends so infrequently as to make little contribution. One other vacant position is about to be filled. That leaves only ten members to attend monthly meetings on a regular basis, do the work and make recommendations on programs, less than half the authorized membership. Some meetings, in fact, lack a quorum, and no action can be taken. This is a matter of immediate concern because by the end of the summer the youth board will be reviewing program applications and recommending the allocation of approximately $100,000 in state youth funds. As you know, the county does not run youth programs itself but depends on the advice of the youth board members to plan services and recommend allocations to deserving programs. Despite the efforts of the few, we are not doing the jab when less than half the membership participates. • The point of this letter is not It is, however, to urge you to take or have appointed a member who finds best to name an active member by the decision -making begins.

The youth board bylaws call for the chairman of that board to notify you when your representative misses three meetings in a row, for whatever reason. To bring you up to date, attached to this letter is a status report on membership and•attendance to date in 1979. Finally, to refresh you and your fellow legislators about the youth board's role, director John Gaines has prepared a fact sheet included with this letter. As indicated, John would be happy to talk further with you about the youth board and why representation from your district is important. Sincerely yours, vrt12 '._ ,Chairman The Intergovernmental Relations Committee /amd Enclosures (2) CC: John Gaines Members, Board of Representatives Members, Youth Board, County TGMPKINS COUNTY YOUTH BOARD Structure The Tompkins County Youth Board was established in 1977 by resolution of the Board of Representatives and is authorized by County Charter and Code Section 21.02 as adopted in 1979. The members of the Youth Board are appointed by the Board of Representatives upon the recommendation of the governing body of each of the County's municipalities. The Youth Board consists of 21 members with one member from the Board of Represent- atives, five from the City of Ithaca, and one from each town and village of the County. Terms of membership are three years except for the member from the Board of Representatives who is appointed annually. County Charter and Code states that "at least half of the total membership of the Youth Board shall be representative of such key interests as social agencies, business, youth organizations, industry, and labor and shall not be employed in state, county, or municipal government." The Youth Board is authorized to draft its own bylaws, elect officers from its membership, and establish committees. It is required to appoint a Comprehensive Planning Committee which is responsible for preparation of the Comprehensive Youth Services Plan for submission to the Youth Board. Function Charter and Code specifies that the Youth Board is advisory to the Board of Representatives and has the following powers, duties, and responsibilities: (a) In consultation with the Youth Bureau Director, recommend effective programs for the prevention and control of delinquency and crimes by youth, for youth recreation and to further youth development; (b) Act as a resource to municipal legislative bodies in the solution of youth problems and/or the enactment of youth programs; (c) Encourage closer cooperation between employers, labor, school, churches, recreation commissions, State and local employment programs, service clubs, and other public and private agencies so as to encourage sound youth programs on the basis of community planning; (d) Review and make recommendations on the Youth Bureau budget; (e) Exercise such other powers and perform such other duties as may now or hereafter be imposed by law or provided in the Official Compilation of the Codes, Rules and Regulations of the State of New York. -2 - Other Pertinent Information The Youth Board meets a minimum of once a month in public session, most frequently in the evening, to consider business on the agenda mailed to members in advance of the meeting. Regular attendance at Youth Board meetings is very important, Special meetings are provided for in the Youth Board Bylaws, but are not frequently held. In addition to regular Youth Board meetings, members are encouraged to actively participate in the work of the various committees -- Budget and Finance, Personnel, and Program Evaluation. Since the structure of the Youth Board is based on municipal representation, it is vital that Youth Board members have an understanding of youth needs and concerns in their respective municipalities. The Youth Board is responsible for two major tasks: 1.) overseeing the develop- ment of the Comprehensive Youth Services Plan, and 2.) for consideration of funding requests from public zind private agencies making application for New York State Division for Youth state aid. The Plan has as its goal the development of a true system of services for all county youth. It forms the basis for a contractual re- lationship between Tenipkins County and New York. State Division for Youth, This relationship entitled the County to over $150,000 in state aid for recreation and youth service prograns. The Youth Board is responsible for making recommendation on requests for these funds to the Board of Representatives. The Tompkins County Youth Bureau works closely with the Youth Board to achieve the goals of the Ca prehensive Plan. The Bureau's major functions are those of planning for effective youth programming, maximizing coordination among youth pro- grams, evaluating youth programs, and performing a variety of technical assistance functions for municipalities and youth serving agencies. The Youth Board and Youth Bureau are responsible to the Intergovernmental Relations Committee of the Board of Representatives.

July 31st, 1979 Tompkins County Board of Representatives Phyllis B.

Since our representative, Mr. Garfield, has not been able to attend any meetings this year and the Town Board realizes the importance of Ulysses being represented on the Tompkins County Youth Board, the Town Board appointed Harold Wright, Bates Road, R.D.n2, Trumansburg, to fill the unexpired term until December 31, 1979. Very truly yours, MEO:mo cc: John Gaines Marilyn E. Ough'� Town Clerk N ORIGINAL ILLEGIBLES BEST COPY AVAILABLE 1r �� �l1' - I I Adjourned Ulysses Town Board Meeting of 7-10-79 7-23-79 page 2 it contact the 14 families on South Street Extension Mr. Moran stated the people would have to initiate the request for service as ATC does not have the personnel for door to door solicitation. Mrs. VanDyk asked if service was planned for Route 89 north of Garrett Road as many residents were interested. Mr. Moran re- plied negatively and noted that not every home can be served but they will listen and reply to requests. After some further discussion Mr. Payne thanked the ATC representatives for clarify- ing their position to the Town Board. On a motion from Mr. Herrick, seconded by Mr. Agard, voted and unanimously carried, the Board recessed to talk with Mary Slade. Mr. Payne called the meeting back to order at 8:30 p.m. Mr. Smith moved, seconded by Mr. Herrick, that Mary Slade be appointed Town of Ulysses Zoning Officer. Approved. Mr. Agard Aye Mr. Allen Aye Mr. Herrick Aye Mr, Smith Aye Mr. Payne Aye Mr. Macon addressed the Board asking if the building permit issued to Harold C. Stilwell had been rescinded. Not getting an affirm- ative answer he continued, noting the Town Attorney, Mr. Golder, was present and since he was not in attendance when the question was first raised, he reviewed the sequence of events and asked the Town Attorney to explain. Mr. Golder first pointed out that the Town Board does not have the power to rescind a building permit. The Zoning Officer does. Mr. Stilwell came to him requesting interpretation of Article V, Section 12 of the Zoning Ordinance which had not been considered by the Zoning Officer or the Board of Zoning Appeals. This section allows placement of garage because of grade of land. In answer to a question from Mr. Stilwell as to whether this would apply in his case if the geographics fit, Mr. Golder agreed it would and there had been no need to apply for the area variance. Mr. Golder called Mr. Cowan after looking at this section of the Zoning Ordinance and Mr. Cowan agreed and that the building permit should have been issued. In answer to a question from Mr. Mason on whether a new building permit application was submitted, Mr. Golder said he had no idea. Mr. Mason stated the Law reads there should be a new application otherwise the matter should go back to the Board of Zoning Appeals. He contested the 20% grade stating it is less than 3% from the street line. Mr. Golder stated Mr. Stilwell was originally eligible for a building permit. Issuance of the building permit was a nullity of BZA action. Mr. Hendry asked how any individual can overrule the BZA after a decision is made and advise the Zoning Officer he could issue a building permit. Mr. Golder answered that he did not order Mr. Cowan to do anything as he has no such authority. He does talk from time to time with the Zoning Officer interpreting the Zoning Ordinance and in this case the circumstances seemed to entitle Mr. Stilwell to a build- ing permit. The Board of Zoning Appeals was not involved. Mr. Hendry to Mr. Golder - your interpretation was that this matter should never have gone to the BZA. No one has authority to overrule the BZA. This action made fools of the BZA. The Zoning Officer had no right to issue the building permit. Mr. Golder noted Mr. Stilwell is entitled to just as much pro- tection by the Ulysses Zoning Ordinance as Hendry and Mason. Mr. Mason stated there was no question of that. Mr. Reulein stated that under the circumstances he had no re- course but to go under Article 78 on this matter. There is noth- ing in the record to show additional information had been fur- nished the BZA. Mr. Mason said he questioned the decision to issue the building permit, questioned the facts on which the decision was based and asked, as public citizens, what is our recourse? Mr. Payne to Mr. Golder - What is their recourse? Adjourned Ulysses Town Board Meeting of 7-10-79 7-23-79 page 3 3 Mr. Golder - There are a number of choices. Mr. Cox asked why records were not available and Mrs. Bears got the Town file. Mr. Golder outlined procedure for obtaining a building permit. A building permit application is filed. The Zoning Officer deter- mines if the application meets requirements and issues permit. If it does not meet requirements the permit is denied. The applicant can then go to the BZA for a variance showing reasons for request before the BZA can consider granting a variance. In this matter there was a provision in the Ordinance that entitled Mr. Stilwell to a building permit. It was not necessary to go to the BZA. I agreed with the issuance of the permit. The BZA did not consider applicable section. ® Mr. Hendry reiterated, what right does an individual have to over- rule the Town Board. (think he meant BZA) Mr. Mason asked if proper procedure was followed? Was a new building permit application filed. Mn Golder said to ask Mr. Cowan. Mr. Mason - Did you advise him? In answer to a question from Mr. Mason as to whether the Town Clerk had a record of building permit applications, Mrs. Ough replied negatively. Mrs. Robinson spoke in regards to the matter going back to the BZA and said no, if entitled to the building permit to begin with. Mr. Mason asked if information was presented to the BZA that there was not a 20% grade? Mr. Payne said the building permit was issued 6-26-79 and the BZA met on 6-11-79. Mr. Mason again asked if there was a new building permit applica- tion filed. Mr. Luster stated that, as he saw it, the BZA had two functions - as an appeals body and to take action on wrongfully denied building permits. Therefore Stilwell should have appealed to the BZA. Mr. Golder said he agreed if Mr. Stilwell had been turned down for a building permit a second time. If, as we assume, he was origi- nally entitled to a building permit he did not need to go back to the BZA. The BZA had nothing to decide. Mr. Hendry again asked how an individual can ignore the BZA? Mr. Golder said the Zoning Officer was satisfied the Stilwell property met the requirements of Article V, Section 12 so issued the permit, Mr. Mason noted his second question had not been answered regard- ing grade. Grade was shot by the Ulysses Highway Supt. Does Board have separate file on this matter? Does information agree with what the Zoning Officer based his decision on? From information on grade, shot by Mr. Holtkamp, Mrs. Beers read the following: From street line 65' 3% ® 90' 22.1% Right-of-way to 150' 16.1% Mr. Mason asked the Town Attorney to interpret these figures in conjunction with the applicable section of the Zoning Ordinance. Mr. Golder said he did not do the measuring and he would have to ask Mr. Cowan first. Mr. Herrick questioned if the Town should have a professional shoot the grade. Mr. Luster spoke representing John Gill in connection with the formal complaint filed on the Stover property, Gorge Road. He has written two letters to David Cowan and not received an answer. A realtor has said the Gill property has decreased in value $10,000 because of the Stover operation. Mr. Payne noted the first 'in violation' letter was sent two weeks ago. A second letter is sent in a month. In answer to a request from Mr. Luster that there be coordination of what Mr. Adjourned Ulysses Town Board Meeting of 7-10-79 7-23-79 page 4 Cowan has done with Mrs. Slade (the new Zoning Officer), Mr. Payne stated she will get his records. Mrs. Robinson noted she had brought the Stover matter to the Town Board quite a while ago. Then Mr. Stover stated it was not a commercial operation but for his own use. For some time he has been running a commercial venture in a residential area. Mr. Herrick stated that the Town Board some time ago requested all complaints regarding zoning violations be written and signed by complainant. In the absence of Mr. Cowan, Mr. Golder reported that they drafted a letter to Mr. Hohwald, Glenwood Pines. Mr. Hohwald had called him and is making application to the BZA for a variance. Mr. Reulein stated the BZA has set a meeting on this application for Tuesday, August 7th, 1979 at 7:30 p.m. There being no further discussion Mr. Herrick moved the meeting adjourn at 9:10 p.m., seconded by Mr. Allen, voted and unanimously carried.

He said the structure will be designed in accordance with the style of his residence, sided and painted in like manner, with the roof style in keeping with the residence roof line. When asked by Mrs. Van Dyk why structure might not be placed to the rear of the residence, Mr. Riddle stated the sewer field was located in that part of the lot, the slope of the lot would make access to the structure very difficult during the winter season since snow drifts quite deeply in back of the house. He said he plans to house his tractor and snow removal equipment in the new structure. He also stated his driveway (which measures approximatelyl75 feet?) curves up from Searsburg Road, Mr. Reulein asked about the base of the structure. Mr. Riddle said it would be set on a concrete slab.

Hohwald (High Forest Corp.) for variance under Article VII, Section 3, of the Town of Ulysses Zoning ordinance for his restaurant operation located at 1213 Taughannock Blvd, Town of Ulysses. Present at Hearing: Appeals Board Chairman Seville•Reulein, members Laura Koskinen, Adrienne VanDyk, Merle Stillions; Peter Kahn, and Sec A. H.

Mazza (Attorney for Mr. Hohwald), Richard Evans, Connie Evans, David Cowan (former Town Zoning Officer), Allen L. Frantz, Fred J. Spry, John Wilson and James Brown. Mr. Reulein asked for a roll call of BZA members following calling hearing to order at 7:30 p.m. in the Town Hall. Mr. Reulein then stated the purpose of the hearing, and asked Mr. Hohwald to state and expand on his reasons for his request for a use variance to the Town Zoning Ordinance. Mr. Hohwald said he had originally applied (on 11 May 1979) for a building permit for expansion of the structure owned by him and known as Glenwood Pines (restaurant) located at 1213 Taughannock Blvd in the Town of Ulysses, said permit signed by Town Supervisor Bruce M. Payne in the absence of the then Zoning Officer David Cowan. He stated he later learned the building permit had been issued in error because the property in question was designated as "non -conforming use" by the Zoning Ordinance, and the building permit was rescinded. (Secretary read rescinding letter written by David Cowan to Mr. Hohwald, copy attached.). Mr. Hohwald elaborated on the structure added to Glenwood Pines restaurant, resulting in increased seating capacity of the restaurant resulting in increased property assessment (which he said had doubleds and increased sales tax revenue. He also said the addition had been completed and that he was continuing the use of the patio.. The new addition consists of a patio with roof, and a bandstand, He said the addition was used for the serving of meals to customers and the bandstand is used by musical groups two evenings a week (Saturday and Monday nights), that the live entertain- ment continued until la.m. on those nights. (rough sketch of patio shows measurement of 18•x 36 feet , and according to Mr. Hohwald does not show the band stand, etc.) Mr. Hohwald submitted listing of persons (customers) approving his operation (copy of file). Mrs. VanDyk asked Mr. Hohwald if, when he applied for a building permit, he had mentioned having live entertainment out of doors (on the patio). Mr. Hohwald said "no". Mr. Kahn asked if the music was electronically amplified (augmented) by a public address system. Mr. Hohwald said "yes" at times. He said he monitored the sound to see how far it carried by checking in the area, and that he had at times asked the performing band groups to • cut back on the amplification. Mr. Hohwald also said he still serves food upstairs, that he has 70 to 80 customers waiting on Friday nights, and that the patio had eased the load on the kitchen help in serving the customers. Mr. Reulein asked about parking for customers. Mr. Hohwald said parking was at a premium but thought it was no greater now than before the construction of the patio. Customers park in the parking area on his property, on the shoulders of the highway (Rte 89) and the Warren overlook just north of his property. Mr. Reulein read Article -IX, Sec. 1, h. of the Zoning Ordinance which states "for a restaurant, club, lodge or similar use - one space for every 75 square feet of gross floor area". BZA hearing - Hohwald, Glenwood Pines 8-7-79 p2 I)n Mr. Hohwald advised the dimensions of the restaurant, computation showing a gross floor area of approximately 3000 square feet, which would require parking area for 40 vehicles on the premises. Mr. Reulein asked about the sewage system at Glenwood Pines. He. asked the secretary to read the statement from the Tompkins County Health Department adressed to Mrs. Slade (copy attached) which stated the system had apparently failed but that Mr. Hohwald had made application to that office for a permit to install a replacement system. Mr. Hohwald also had received a copy of this communication. Mr. Hohwald also said problems had existed with the drinking water supply, that a beach well had been drilled, water supply adequate and tested to comply with state law. This was done, he said, under County Health Department regulations and approval. Asked about Trumansburg Fire Department inspection of the premises, Mr. Hohwald said they had not been involved but that his insurance company has inspected and approved the site. Mr. Mazza, attorney for Mr. Hohwald, said the statement that the original building permit being issued erroneously was incorrect, basing his belief on the definition of "non -conforming use". Dorothy Evans and Richard Evans both stated they approved the extension of the Glenwood Pines restaurant. Mr. Reulein then asked for word from persons opposed to the extension of the Glenwood Pines operation. Mr. George Patte (attorney) who lives .4 of a mile from the Glenwood Pines restaurant, said he is a year-round resident on the lake shore; objected to the loudness of the•electronically amplified music, that he still hears it late at night, and that it interferes with his sleeping. He also objected to the use of Route 89 road shoulders for parking by restaurant customers, that it created a traffic hazard, and that parking facilities on the Glenwood Pines property did not comply with requirements of the Zoning Ordinance. He said this public hearing was his opportunity to express his objections to the operation and that he had not been bothered by the noise until the patio had been constructed and the restaurant operation moved to the outside. He said he believed the increased traffic and increased noise had made changes in the character of the residential neighborhood. Mr. Reulein asked the secretary to read a letter from Mr. Patte addressed to Mr. Cowan, dated 3 July 1979. Copy attached. Mrs. Koskinen asked how many nmidences were located between Glenwood Pines and Mr. Patte's residence. Answer - 10 or 12. Mr. Hohwald was asked if he plans to hire more bands to perform in the future. He answered the bands were a losing proposition, financially, but he did not say that he would or would not hire bands in the future. Mr. Reulein asked if he plans to enclose the patio. Mr. Hohwald talked but he did not actually answer this question. He did say he had spent approximately $13,000.00 on the addition. Mr. Reulein brought up the matter of music at the Yacht Cub. Various persons at the hearing said they heard the music when the Yacht Club had the same. Mr. Spry, justice in the Town of Lansing, spoke saying parking problems existed in his jurisdiction for restaurants - that customers did not always use official parking space available. He expressed the belief no operation could be closed down because of noise. He also said he and his wife were customers of Glenwood Pines, and that parking and traffic problems on Rte 89 adjacent to Glenwood Pines was a police problem. Mr. Slade remarked the sheriff's department gets so it no longer answers complaints relative to traffic problems adjacent to Glenwood Pines because of the number of calls they receive. Also he said the noise can be heard at his residence on Maplewood Point, that it was loud and annoying, that he was concerned regarding the parking on the highway and that at times he found the parking on the highway blocked his access to Maplewood Road from Rte 89, that he had been forced to take another route permitting access to the road to Maplewood Point. BZA hearing - Hohwald, Glenwood Pines 8-7-79 p3 Mr. Kahn commented that the Zoning Board of Appeals cannot shrug off complaints brought to the Board. Mr. Patte said he and his wife hear noise from the Yacht Club but they knew that would be the case when they bought their residence. Mrs. VanDyk asked if Mr. Hohwald had land available for the creation of additional parking space. Mr. Hohwald said yes but that - and he listed expense for "fill" for the area, etc. Mr. Patte questioned about the traffic increase which would result from the return of students to the area with the opening of school sessions in the fall. Mr. Mazza said the same traffic problems would pertain if the bands were confined to the inside of the building. Mr. Hohwald said if he enclosed the patio he would have to have windows installed which would be open during business hours and the music problems would remain the same. He also said he had had 18 bands so far this year but -- only one drew the largest crowds. The hearing was adjourned for a brief period for the BZA members - to consult with Town Attorney Golder. Upon re -convening the hearing, Mr. Golder asked permission to speak. He said three points pertained to the decision of the Board: Cl) fact that the permit was first issued erroneously would not be part of the deliberation of the Board, nor would the amount of money spent on the structure, and that the BZA should consider the matter as though the addition had not yet been constructed; (2) section of the ordinance Glenwood Pines operating under not really pertinent to the current problem and that Section 8 of Article II of the Ordinance (special permits) should apply; (3) Article IX - Off Street Parking - very important and the requirements therein listed do pertain. Mr. Reulein read again item "h" of this section for the edification of those present. Mr. Reulein then adjourned the hearing to 7 p.m., 14 August 1979, saying the Board wished to deliberate after having an opportunity so study the minutes so far taken of the hearing. Hearing adjourned at 10:15 p.m. Following the hearing adjournment Mr. Reulein called the Board into a business session and moved that Mr. Peter Kahn be named vice-• chairman of the Appeals Board. Mrs. VanDyk seconded the motion, motion voted and carried unanimously. Meeting then adjourned. Aileen H.

Mazza, Jack Slade, Connie Evans, Richard Evans, George Patte, Jr., Mary Patte. Secretary read minutes of the 7 August portion of the hearing. Mr. Reulein advised the applicant that the Board believed a "special use permit" under Art. II, Sec. 8 of the Town of Ulysses Zoning Ordinance would be more applicable to the subject. Board members expressed their opinions as to what should be included in the resolution relative to the issuance of a special use permit. Mr. Stillions said he had talked to the State Police relative to the parking problems on Rte 89 in the area of Glenwood Pines, and suggested the State place "no parking" signs on the south -bound lane between Perry City and Glenwood Roads. He also believed the customer parking- . on the Hohwald property should comply with Art IX 1(h) of the Zoning Ordinance. Mrs. Koskinen expressed the opinion music should be limited to the two nights it is now used and should terminate at 12 midnight. This was in reference to music played on the newly constructed patio. Mrs. VanDyk said the wished to stipulate that the north and south ends of the patio be enclosed. Mr. Reulein agreed, saying he believed this would muffle the sound. After retiring to draft the resolution the Board Chairman asked the secretary to read the draft, which is as follows: WHEREAS: Gilbert W. Hohwald (High Forest Corp) has petitioned the Town of Ulysses Board of Zoning Appeals for extension of a non -conforming building per Town of Ulysses Ordinance Art. II, Sec 3, for his business known as Glenwood Pines, located at 1213 7iughannock Blvd. (Rte 89), and WHEREAS: the Board of Zoning Appeals believes the restaurant Glenwood Pines is well accepted in the community as a buciness, THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED: that the BZA issue a special use permit under Art. II, Sec. 8, of the Town of Ulysses Zoning Ordinance with the following conditions: 1. that the use of performing musical organizations be limited to two (2) evenings per week on the newly constructed patio, as is now being done, and that such musical performance not continue past the hour of 12 midnight on either night; and 2. that the owner be cognizant of the noise level of electronically amplified music and considerately respond to objections from adjoining residential property owners within hearing distance; 3. that the north and south ends of the patio be enclosed so as to limit dissemination of sound to adjoining residences; 4. that the owner comply with Art. IX, Sec. 1(h) of the Zoning Ordinance, "Off Street Parking", which states: "for a restaurant, club, lodge or similar use - one space for every seventy-five (75) square feet of gross floor area"; BZA hearing - Hohwald (Glenwood Pines) 8-14-79 p 2 L I • Li 5. that the owner comply with the requirements of the ordinance relative to Off Street Parking within one year of this date; AND BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED: that the BZA request the Ulysses Town Board to petition the New York State Department of Transportation to erect "no parking" signs on the south -bound lane -of Rte 89 from the Perry City Road to Glenwood Road, and request the Sheriff's Department to vigorously enforce such restricting signs. Mr. Mazza asked the Board if Mr. Hohwald could fully enclose all sides of the patio and was advised this would be possible if the outside dimensions of the structure were not changed. Mr. Reulein then asked Board members for a vote on the resolution. Voting was as follows: Mrs. Koskinen - approve Mr. Stillions - approve Mrs. VanDyk - approve Mr. Kahn - approve Mr. Reulein - approve Motion approved unanimously. Mr. Hohwald will be advised officially of the Board's action by copy of these minutes. A.

Town officials estimate they could save as much as $4,000 by paving a section of the road this year, rather than next year as scheduled. Two miles of Curry Road, from Watersburg Road to Searsburg. Road, are now scheduled to be re - paved next year. The town is con- sidering paving about half that — from Watersburg to Route 227 this year. The rest would remain on next year's schedule, The county highway department as well as other town departments are considering similar actions In efforts to minimize the impact of rising oil prices on the costs of highway paving materials such as asphalt. In other discussion at Tuesday's town board meeting, Town Super- visor Bruce Payne announced that the board Is Inestigating the cost of insurance coverage. And the town approved a special - use permit for the Glenwood Pines Restaurant on Route 89, provided the restaurant follow several restric- tions, Assemblyman Hugh S. MacNeil (R -Ithaca) attended Tuesday's meeting,; in another of his recent appearances at local government meetings.

Warren of the Ulysses Town Planning Board be appointed Ulysses Representative to the County Planning Board. Mr. Cox spoke regarding the TV Cable sign-up sheet for South Street Ext. There was some discussion as to whether signing was a binding contract or just showing an interest. Mr. Cox assured it was an intent and not a binding contract. He suggested writing each house- hold and arranging a get-together to go over the whys,wherefores and getting signatures. Mrs. Slade gave her Zoning report, copy attached. Mr. Cox reported that Mrs. Bartow has contracted to demolish the burned structure on Route 96. The work has begun, but slowly since the contractor is tied up on another job during the week and only free to work on weekends.

Ough Town Clerk Zoning Report for period of July 23rd to August 14, 1979 There have been some loose ends to tie up since my being appointed to this job. I am glad to report there have been nine (9) Building Permits issued to residents totalling $40.00....$5.00 of one permit having been given to David Cowan and deposited on 5/2/79 in the Town Office. During this time I have made a complete tour of the Township in three (3) trips totalling 103.6 miles. My rider wrote down each place we spotted violations and I have sent out and am still sending notes to please comply and I am happy to report I have received some cooperation plus finding permits already issued but not visable. Also I have been called on several complaints which I find with a personal visit tends to help me to convey to the party I am willing to try for happy and successful results. There was one Area Variance 'settled by the BZA namely the Terry Riddle request for a storage building constructed in their "side" yard at 23 Searsburg Road. There is a second one still pending namely the Glenwood Pines restaurant at 1213 Taughannock Blvd. owned by Gilbert Hohwald. The original request did not clearly state the facts involved. Excessive noise and hazzardous parking alongastate highwgy and the blocking of a secondary road are considerations. There is still a question about the Sawmill being operated on the Gorge Road belonging to Beach Stover. His lawyer upon my inquiring has written that they will be filing an application for the establishment of a Development District on Mr. Stovers property and it shall be completed and submitted to the Town Board by Sept. 1, 1979. We do have one other case pending where I have asked work cease on a garage already half (t) completed on Waterburg Road on the Alan Jamieson property. He was not aware he said that he needed an additional permit to erect the garage after building the house on permit #804. He came and I showed him his original application and he took the necessary papers to apply for a Spec. Permit or Variance and I believe has ceased the building until the hearing can be arranged for properly. He was very, agreeable and I believe he has his attorney working on it. Upon the request of Bruce Payne due to his numerous complaints concerning the condition of the property belonging to Mrs. Camille Bartow at the intersection of Route 96 and the Halseyville Road I will endeavor to have her complete her already issued permit #858 issed 6/1/79 for permission to demolish the structure. It is indeed an eyesore and I have already sent her a message to please arrange for this demolition: at once. If anyone sees or knows of a particular problem I would appreciate he or she contacting me, preferably in writing, and I will certainly • Page two I.Zoning Report 7/23/79-8/14/79 make every effort to get it straightened out.

Jamison for an area variance under Article V. Sec. 12, of the Town of Ulysses Zoning Ordinance permitting the erection of a garage closer to the highway right-of-way than is specified in the Zoning Ordinance/ Appeals Board Chairman Seville Reulein called the hearing to order at 7 p.m. in the Town Hall. Board members present: Adrienne VanDyk, Laura Koskinen, Peter Kahn. Absent: Merle Stillions. Also present: Mr. and Mrs. Alan Jamison and their attorney, Martin Luster. Mr. Reulein asked Mr. Jamison to state reasons for the application for an area variance. Mr. Luster asked to speak for the applicant, saying the applicant was under the impression the issuance of a building permit for the construction of their home located on RD 1, Waterburg Road, Trumansburg, would cover the construction of the garage. He said Mr. Jamison's reasoning was based on the fact that the bank mortgage covered both the erection of the residence and the garage. Mr. Luster explained it was a matter of misunderstanding on the part of Mr. Jamison, who, having finished the construction of the residence,proceeded on to the construction of the garage, for which only the framework is up. (see pictures submitted as part of the application. Construction on the garage has halted. When questioned about the location of the garage, Mr. Luster and Mr. Jamison said the structure could not be placed on the right hand side of the dwelling' and driveway because of the septic drain field and utility easement, nor to the rear of the lot because of the slope of the land. The map submitted with the application is not entirely correct, Mr. Luster said, since the residence is located closer to the highway. Pictures of the area were submitted with the application. The proposed garage is located 46 feet from the center of the highway right-of-way, and 21 feet from the edge of the right of way. The building permit issued for the residence is dated 1 May 1978. Also submitted with the application were notes from two neighbors who express their approval of the garage location on the property. Mr. Luster state the five reasons he believed pertained to the issuance of a variance. The Board members then asked to be excused to prepare a resolution for action. Reconvening the hearing Mr. Reulein asked the secretary to read a proposed resolution, as follows: WHEREAS: Alan K. Jamison has applied for an area variance to' the Town of Ulysses Zoning Ordinance, Article V, Sec 12, which says "any accessory building may not occupy any required open space other than a rear yard, hoever a garage may be located in rear or side yard but may not extend into the front yard " and • WHEREAS: The terrain of the land in question is such that placement of the garage would present practical difficulties because of the septic drain field and the New York State Gas and Electric and Telephone Company easements, and WHEREAS: no increase in the population density of the neighborhood would result from the construction, and WHEREAS: the leading edge of the proposed garage structure is located 46 feet from the center of the highway'right-of-way, 21 feet from the edge of the right-of-way, and BZA Hearing - Jamison - p2 9-10-79 1.111 WHEREAS: no substantial change in the character of the neighborhood nor a aubstantial detriment to the adjoining properties would ensue as the result of the placement of the structure on the proposed site, and WHEREAS: immediate neighbors have voice no objection to the placement of the garage, and WHEREAS: in the interest of justice allowance of the variance would be served; THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED: that the Town of Ulysses Zoning Board of Appeals grant the variance requested. Following reading of the resolution Mrs. Koskinen moved its adoption, Mrs. Van Dyk seconded the motion; voting was as follows: Mrs. VanDyk - yes Mrs. Koskinen - yes Mr. Kahn - yes Mr. Reulein - yes Resolution carried. Mr. Jamison will be notified officially of Board action by copy of these minutes. Board then discussed the problem of having residents of the Town apply for a variance after construction of a building has been started. Mr. Reulein said the last three applications for a variance which have come before the BZA have been concerned with "after the fact" structures, or structures already started and not completed without a building permit. The Board discussed ways in which the public could be "educated" to comply with the Zoning Ordinance. Meeting adjourned at 8:30 p.m. 1 r [ I Aileen Beers, sec. rRcc lPRe s s 9•.75.79 �'-7?

They can not print: anythinn about zoning on the tax hills but a flyer ran he sent out with the hills. Mr. Payne asked Mr. Reulein and Mrs. Slade to work on what should be put on a flyer. Mr. Reulein also spoke about the public being unaware of zoning and the fact that the last three variances requested were after building had started, lie introduced Mrs. Jamison, The Jamisons had a building permit for their hone and were not aware a narane, they started, was not included. Upon notification they halted construction and applied for a variance. Their request was subject of a Zoning Board of Appeals public hearing the previous evening. They were grateful to have the variance granted but the Town needs an educational program on zoning - not only to enlighten newcomers to the area but older residents also need constant reminders. She noted even some lawyers were not aware Ulysses was zoned. She mentioned having ZONED signs at all entrances to the Town. Mr. Payne said he would speak to the Highway Supt, about sign:: and thanked Mrs. Jamison for sharing her thoughts with the Board. Mr. Reulein stated the BZA is not functioning as intended and they were wasting their time, lie does not want to see further variances granted AFTER construction has begun. Discussion followed on the need for publicity on BZA actions and zoning requirements in general. The Board reviewed the Stover request for a Planned Development District. Mr. Payne will take it to ,qtr. Langley, Chairman of the Planning Board so they can set up a meeting. A motion was made by Mr. Agard, seconded by Mr. Smith, voted and unanimously carried that the meeting recess at 8:45 p.m. until fi:00 p.m. on September .18, 1979. 'l'own of Ulysses Is Zoned & Zoning Laws Will Be Enforced ULYSSES — At the Town Board meeting Sept. 11, it was brought up that too many people claim ignorance of the -law and fail: 1) to apply for ' a building permit or 2) apply for a variance only after they have constructed their building. Zoning Board Appeals Chairman Seville Reulein has stated that the Appeals Board no longer wants to see further variances granted after construction has been. started or completed. .. Mary Slade ,reported for the month- ofstAugust, she traveled 405 miles, Issued 8 building permits, and 33 notices of violations were issued. ' A public hearing on the new dog control laws and license fees was to be held Tuesday Sept. 18. Elsie Reynolds was ap- pointed dog enumerator, Town Clerk, Marilyn thigh. reported on number of licenses issued for month of August, and announced new clerks hours beginning October 1: ' Ma ilyn E. Town Clerk Ough Zoning saws nave been enacted for the Town of Ulysses and. a Zoning of. ficer, Mary Slade, is in charge of enforcing those laws. Check with her before you plan any changes to your property, Beginning Oct, 1, Ulysses Town Clerk's Office will be open Mon, Tues, Tours, Fri. 8 a,m.-12 noon, 1- 5 p.m.; Sat. B a.m.-12 noon, Closed all day Wed. Zoning Report for period of August 14, 1979 to September 11, 1979 This has been a good month. I have spent 31 hours and 45 minutes and have traveled some 405.8 miles and sent 33 notices plus the 8 building permits. Hopefully progress is being made on clean ups...there are still several hard nosed residents that I have yet to convince of their allegiance to a Zoned Community! I have had to seek advice several times from Mr. Golder hoping this will eliminate any bad situations for the Township. We have had only one Board of Zoning Appeals meeting and this was on Monday night, Sept. 10 for Alan Jamison to settle on a variance for a garage. This was accomplished after much deliberation!! After the formal meeting was over we stayed and discussed what could be done to put a stop to the public starting then seeking out a Building Permit after either myself or passerbys call it to my attention. This bad situation has been increasing and has come to the point where the BZA is getting their dander up. It makes them either appear foolish or soft because they are good enough to compromise with the requests for the variances because it would indeed cause financial hardships to tear down whatever it is alreadypartlyup. We have got to get across to all residents that they MUST apply for permits before starting anything. In most cases the Board of Zoning Appeals will listen and go along or comppomise with a request..they are not so tough but we have got to let it be known that we do have a FIRM zoning ordinance in the Town of Ulysses and intend to have it carried out! I am pleased to report that as of this morning we have in our hands from the legal advisors of Mr. Beach Stover a very fine resume of their wants in regards to the sawmill on Gorge Road currently in violation. It is to be reviewed by the Town Board and passed on to the Town Planning Board for their decision. I have no further items to report on at this time. I have been checking on the new building, the trash accumulations and "junk" cars. These naturally bring out some strong verbal comments but I believe in most cases they are calmed down and generally agree that the requests to comply just are not that bad or demanding. Those that do not see the right way after several attempts to contact will then have to settle 4Lp with one of our Judges... rules are rules! Respectfully submitted, /at 4L4 Mary S.

The drop -in room adjacent to the office was used daily by anywhere from one to fifteen kids playing foosball, ping pong, cards, games, music -- or just sitting around and talking. The room will continue to be open thro' the first two weeks of school, Monday - Friday 3 - 5:00, September 14 being the end. The Trumansburg Fair once again proved to be a good place to meet kids and take kids. The staff all spent a number of days there ready to help out if necessary and to be otherwise visible to those who know us. Also right about Fair time, a group of ten teenagers from New York City whom we had met on our trip there this spring came to Trumansburg for a visit. About 12 of us joined them doing the six mile loop trail at Treman State Park with time for a swim and a picnic afterwards. We did two other day hikes with smaller groups in July. On July 5, we took four kid: hiking on the Lick Brook section of the Finger Lakes Trail, and on July 31, we hiked a section of the Six Mile Creek with three kids. There was also another picnic at Treman on August 29, a time for a little pre -season football and some swimming. In addition to the day hikes, there were four overnight trips during July and August. July 18 - 20, four kids went with us on the Black Forest trail in Pennsylvania, hikii 14 miles in the three days. At the same time, July 19 and 20, three kids did a canoc trip on Cayuga Lake, paddling from Stewart Park to Taughannock and then back the following day. Four kids went on the trip to the Adirondacks July 30 - August 2. We had a little unplanned adventure there when a bear made off with all our food the first night. The ensuing discussion and decision about how to replace the food proved to be very interesting. Though it did prevent us from climbing one of our mountains, we went ahead and climbed Big Slide the following day, a nice seven mile round trip which took us over Yard Mountain as well. The last overnight trip was on August 14 - 16 with four kids up to Beam Hill, a campsite and Adirondack style lean-to maintained by the Ithaca Youth Bureau. Unfortunately it was a cold three days, but everyone seemed to enjoy it despite the unseasonable weather. • Once again this year we were able to take some trips with 8 - 13 year olds as a result of some extra NYS DFY money available to us through the Town of Ulysses. On July 23, 35 kids and 9 chaperones spent a full day at Roseland Park, and on August 20, 13 kids and 6 chaperones took a picnic up to Cayuga Lake State Park. A group of New Games referees joined us after we'd had a swim and we spent a couple of hours playing New Games at the park. The Youth Employment Service received ten calls for jobs in July and August which resulted in ten kids being hired to do various jobs. A number of the jobs were not filled but most of those who did work received good recommendations front those who employed them. One of our school referrals from last spring was included in a trip with us this saw and a referral from the Ithaca Youth Bureau was set up with a Big Brother for the summer. Now that our summer staff is gone, there is once again a great need for big brothers and sisters for kids 8 - 14 years old. Beginning Monday September 17, Judy and Sue will be available at the office on Mondays and Wednesdays 3 -_ 5:00. e .. , July - August Report Cont.

Town Clerk Ough TOWN OF ULYSSES PUBLIC HEARING September 18, 1979 PURPOSE OF THE HEARING: Proposed Local Law No. 1 for 1979 "Dog Control and License Fees Law" 0 I C Present at Hearing: Supervisor Bruce M. Payne, Councilmen William Agard, J. Frederick Allen, Robert C. Herrick, H. William Smith. Also present: Town Attorney Arthur J. Golder, Jr., Zoning Officer Mary S. Slade, Highway Supt. Rolf A. Holtkamp, William Brothers of the SPCA, Earl Richar, George Pokorney, Bookkeeper Aileen Beers, Town Clerk Marilyn E. Ough. Mr. Payne called the hearing to order at 7:30 p.m. in the Town Hall and read the legal notice as it appeared in the Free Press and Ithaca Journal. Mrs. Ough read proposed Local Law No. 1 for 1979 then Mr. Payne asked for comments. Mr. Brothers said the law was well written, the best in the County, so far. He noted how little the SPCA or law enforcement officers can do without a local law and the new law would give citizens greater protection. He stated it was the SPCA position to enforce local law at the level of enforcement the community wants and stressed the SPCA is an advocate for dogs with a goal of creating more responsible dog owners. Mr. Pokorney asked what portion of moneys go into cat control. Mr. Brothers said the SPCA contracts with the County for Animal Control Services. Dogs are given priority, cats second. In the past year they have handled over 2000 cats and 3500 dogs. How- ever the majority of the cats were brought to them while they picked up most of the dogs. It was emphasized that beginning with the new dog license year the license money can only be spent on dog control. A concern was voiced about the 'shooting on sight' of dogs at night. Mr. Brothers stated that was a State Law but not SPCA policy. They would shoot only dogs running deer and livestock - not just because the dogs are loose at night. Further discussion centered on changes in Section 3, items A, D and E. In item A the question of 'actual control' in regard to hunting was brought up. To clarify this the term 'at large' was added with a definition of what was not deemed to be 'at large'. It was pointed out that item D should provide protection to those on the highway, and shoulders of same, since most property lines go to the middle of the road. In answer to a question about removing 'cat' from item E Mr. Brothers stated that was one reason why the proposed law was well written. Cats and dogs are not considered domestic animals - only farm animals are. He related a story about a dog that had killed several cats and another dog. It finally attacked a child, then something could be done, unfortunately, too late for the injured child. On item E it was decided to add 'on premises other than those of the person owning or harboring such dog'. There being no further discussion Mr. Payne thanked Mr. Brothers for attending and answering questions. Mr. Herrick moved the hearing adjourn at 8:40 p.m., seconded by Mr. Allen, voted and unanimously carried. Marilyn E. Town Clerk Ough TOWN OF ULYSSES BRUCE M.

Purpose of property use: to operate a woodworking shop. Seville Reulein, Jr., Appeals Board Chairman, called hearing to order at 7:30 p.m. in the Town Hall. Present: BZA members Laura Koskinen, Peter Kahn, Merle Stillions, Adrienne VanDyk, secretary A. Beers. • Also present, Town Zoning Officer Mary S. Slade, applicants Helmi Orni, Tobias Dean; also Marion Boratynsky, guest. Mr. Reulein asked Mr. Dean for particulars relative to the request for a special permit. Mr. Dean said the building had been used as a wood working shop in prior years, having ceased such operation a little over a year ago. He said he wished to have a small shop. In answer to Mrs. Koskinen's question Mr. Dean said he currently has a years lease on the property. Mr. Kahn asked if he had talked to neighbors and Mr. Stillions asked about the particular kind of work he anticipated doing. Mr. Dean said he had not talked to neighbors, that Tony DeLaurentiis was a neighbor and that he would talk to him. He said he wished to do high quality mill work relative to architectural restoration in the area. In answer to Mrs. VanDyk's question relative to lumber storage, Mr. Dean said lumber would not be stored outside of the building but would be stored in a building behind the shop. Mr.Reulein asked if he planned to do "stripping" and if he planned to have a "dip tank" for removal of paint, or if he planned paint spraying. Mr. Dean said no. All work would be done by hand. He said there were already some electrical appliances relative to the trade in the shop which had been used by ® -Miss Orni's brother and father. Mr. Dean said his plans beyond the year's lease were uncertain, depending on "how things work out".

Mr. Luster also said the Commission is studying a proposal for "Park and Ride"- a system for consolidating commuter rides to places of employment in an effort to conserve fuel. Mr. Luster said the Commission plans to seek parking places, either public or private, where communters could meet and pool rides. Mr. Payne asked Mr. Luster if he had any more news about the Senior Citizens housing project. Mr. Luster said no money was available as yet from the Federal government for allocation of Farm Home Administration funds, as Congress has not yet passed on that portion of the Federal budget. He said Mr. Tony Egner, architect for the project, suggested test boring be made now before the freezing weather prohibits such, and that the Housing project's Board of Directors have agreed to this. ® Mr. Joe Scherer asked privilege of the floor to suggest cooperation with the Transportation Commission's contemplated action relative to"Park and Ride". There being no further business, Mr. Allen moved for adjournment, Mr. Herrick seconded, voted and carried. Patricia Van Liew Deputy Town Clerk NEWS m " 40 I Delay in funding slows T'burg housing forelderly ULYSSES — Because of a delay in federal funding, construction of housing for the elderly probably won't get underway until next year. That was the appraisal given the Ulysses Town Board Tuesday night by Martin Luster, attorney for Trumansburg Seniors Inc. The main problem, Luster told the board, is in Washington, not Syracuse. He explained this morning that even though Trumansburg Seniors applied for a $1.3 million Farmers Home Administration mortgage a year ago and received informal approval of the loan, Farmer's Home Administration apparently over- committed money. So, Trumansburg was left high and dry for the federal fiscal year of October 1978 to October 1979, Luster said. "Our next hope Is that we would be approved for. the federal fiscal year that started in October 1979," he said. Despite the delays, "we fully expect the money will come," he said. ti Iuninw Report for period of September 12, 1979 to October 9, 1979 Another busy month despite the fact I have had only 23 hours and 15 minutes and 334.7 miles of road work. There were a total of 5 permits and several Please clean up notices. 'Phere were three BZA hearings I had to make contacts for. One was for Toby Dean seeking a variance for a Woodworking business on Rabbit Run Road.. this was Nranted. Then there was a hearing for Richard Sheets on Iradell Road about a variance. This was granted by the majority on the BZA but I was a little disappointed they were so easy on him. I believe this situation bears close watch for a while. Then the third variance was granted to Diane Hillman on Manse Road in Jacksonville with no problems. Had several complaint calls that I am attempting to follow up on. They were on Fred Haights activities at his residence on Falls Road.. another on Bill Aubles trailer park... one on the Remodeled Prange hall in Jacksonville as to just what is the building being used for... one from an irate person that had received a Junk Car notice and wanted to know who I thought I was sending him a notice and that I had no right..He is in violation and probably will be staying that way until we convince him otherwiset Had a call from the Health Dept. regarding the status of Mr. John Baisley on Falls Road. Mr. Baisley's original application stated he was going to put up a garage. When I questioned him be said he had been told to do it that way and then to apply for a variance to cut meat there. I am waiting now for the Chairman of the BZA to arrange a time for the hearing. He is putting the pressure on me saying he will have to leave the area if delayed too much longer. It is not due to us that there is delay...he put off doing the proper thing to begin with. I am still making my rounds as it were picking up violators and sending out notices. There do appear to be fewer and I am still atempting to get the perpetual ones to fall in line. Presently we are waiting for the date to set for the Beach Stover hearing. He is still sawing away but hopefully it will soon be in legal compliance. Sent Mr. Auble a request for payment on the trailer park and there were 47 trailers in there as of 9/29. He is way over due on this payment for 1979 and he is also pouring new cement pads for obvious expansion. He is no different then anyone else asked to comply..so why can't he? If we intend to continue with the Zoning we have goto be consistent. I do find people who are interested in maintaining a good rapore in our Zoned Township. This is the great part of the job. I would appreciate it if people would spread the word to call me when they see or hear of probir'ms. I endeavor to follow up all such calls. Respectfully submitted, L, /I Mary S.

Also present A Beers, sec. pro-tem. Mr. Payne called meeting to order at 7:30 p.m. in Town Hall. The purpose of the nesting was to permit the Town Attorney Golder to delineate for the Planning Board members scope of functions of that body. Mr. Payne turned the meeting over to Mr. Golder. rn Mr. Golder opened his remarks with an explanation of the State "open meetings law", as revised on October 1, 1979, indicating the Planning Board could discuss certain matters in an "executive session" but that no decisions could be made at such a session but must be made during a public meeting. Mr. Golder also advised the group that the Planning Board was not required to reach a decision on any case -before them on a "time limit" basis but that they could defer decision on a case until they had had an opportunity to study in greater detail the ramifications of a case where they believed this to be warranted. Mr. Langley iterated the various questions the Planning Board had to consider in reaching a determination. One of these was "personal need" of an applicant vs the "community need". Mr. Golder said the Planning Board could always request permission from the Town Board to seek and y hire professional help in determining a Planning Board decision. He also expounded on the legal requirements for an environmental impact statement under provisions of the State law even though the Ulysses Town Board has not adopted a local law relative to Environmental Quality Review procedures. (SEQR) In relation to the Beech Stover application for a•Planned Development District which has come before the Planning Board, and which the Planning Board has submitted recommendations to the Town Board, Mr. Payne advised the Town Board has not yet scheduled the case for a hearing or consideration. During the discussion, the Town Board came to the conclusion more -information was required, and that if such a development were approved, some restrictions should be established. The Board then voted unanimously to return the case to the Planning Board for their study and and the development of more information. The Board instructed Mr. Payne to officially inform Mr. Stover and the• Planning Board of this action. In speaking about any particular case which might become involved with the State Environmental Quality Review law, Mr. Golder outlined the procedural steps required by that law. Mr. Payne advised the group of the resignation of Peter Kahn as a member of the Town Zoning Appeals Board and that he would present the name of Richard Garner to the Town Board at the Town Board's November 13 meeting for approval to fill out the term of Mr. Kahn which ends January 1981. Mr. Garner has a Masters degree in physics and is an employee of I;3M. The Town Board also discussed further the Park and Ride program proposed by the County Transportation Commission. Mr. Holtkamp has estimated parking places for 20 vehicles could be established on the Town property in Jacksonville at an approximate cost of $280 or less. Mr. Allen then moved the meeting be adjourned, Mr. Agard seconded the motion, voted and carried. oe�r�,,sec' ro-tem.

Board members inspected claim vouchers as follows: General Fund Nos. 234 through 290 Highway Fund Nos. 152 through 163 Part Town Fund Nos. 43 through 48 Revenue Sharing Nos. 6 through 8 Mr. Allen moved the claims, as submitted, be approved for payment by the Supervisor. Mr. Agard seconded the motion, voted and unanimously carried. Mr. Mason circulated copies of the proposed 1980 Tompkins County Budget among Board members. He noted there will be a public hear- ing on the Budget November 19th at 7:30 p.m. with the County Board convening immediately after the hearing to act on the Budget. As the Budget stands the tax rate per $1000 will decrease. Since the Village of Trumansburg elects to apply their sales tax credit directly against Village taxes their rate is much higher than the Town outside the Village but still down from 1979. An item of interest, in committee, to be watched is a proposal that the City and Towns bear some of the cost of maintaining bridges. A proposal the County drop all maintainence was defeated but there is a new suggestion that Towns assume 25% of the cost. He is opposed to any move in that direction. There are two bridges in Ulysses main- tained by the County on Seneca and Brook Roads. In answer to a question on how the County Board stands on removal of the tax on home heating fuels Mr. Mason stated there was senti- ment for removal. Social Services is planning an allocation of $300 per family to help offset high fuel prices. This would be paid directly to the fuel supplier but only help about 400 of the 1400 families that qualify. He mentioned a new, 3 -year, Federally funded, experimental program under the supervision of Family & Children's Service working with the Courts and Probation Department on chronic offenders. Mr. Herrick moved the proposed Town of Ulysses Budget for 1980 be adopted. Mr. Agard seconded the motion, voted and carried unani- mously.

My time commitments have made the consider- able demands of serving on the Board burdensome. Lately, diffieulb deeisien and circumstances increased those demands. Our board has been assumed of being "too easy" on offenders of the zoning provisions, that we, and I specifically, overstepped our authority via -a -via the zoning officer, etc., etc. Since I believe strongly in the strict, but reasonable, enforcement of zon- ing, I find ayoelf in an untenable position: I thought I interpreted our function as stated in the M. Y. State pamphlet on "Zoning Ad- ministrations as well as possible (" the main purpose of the Board of Appeals ... is to grant relief to certain property owners who may suffer serious injustice under strict application of the zonong reg- ulation"*, p. 8). We have had oases lately that asked for judgment Gills, not terribly clear, but based on competing values and intorpre- tatiens. I made the calls as I saw them, certainly with the primary function of zoning well in mind. Several people who felt that they had zoning problems came to ask me what the law was. I showed them the town ordinance, but NEVER implied that I had any decision power. For instanni a• I told Glen Wilder that he must get a building permit from the zoning officer, that we hear no appeals cases unless and UNTIL the building permit had been denied, Apparently this advice has been mis- understood, but does not need any apologies from me. Be that as it may, Z was glad to be of service to the community theme last two years 117E -but it is time for glohaa a. Peter Rte 227, Trumansburg OCT 181979 tOl 01 ULYSSES BRUCE M.

Indeed the Zoning Officer is truly being tested. One request for info was concerning erecting four Radio towers for a local station by a Mr. Sitzman. Sought advice from Mr. Golder and sent Mr. Sitzman same for his contact with the Federal Communications Dept. The property on Rabbit Run Road burned out over a year ago belonging to Orni's is now filled in and bull dozed making it look very good. I sent Miss Orni a note of thanks for complying so willingly and I am sure the adjacent neighbors must be pleased too. Discovered some building in progress at 76 Garrett Road. Checked into it to find it was a dining room edition and after the necessary application and plans presented to me I issued a building permit to Don Stewart. I issued a permit to E.A. Hurd II in Jacksonville for a two story barn garage. He made all the necessary arrangements ahead of time. Checked on Mr. Sheets again at 416 Iradell Road. He claims his garage -apartment like office is not being used for anything but a dressing room for the ppol or for friends to stay in overnight while visiting. Checked on Auble's trailer park account...as yet he has not paid the 1979 fee. He has received notice of this also. Had request for renewal of building permit for John Cowden on Indian Fort Road..they are making the effort to finish the house so that the house trailer can be removed from the premisis. Still cannot budge Mr. Chase on the corner of Jacksonville Road and Perry City Road to clean up the trash in the door yard and remove some "junk" cars. Mr. Andy Simmons came in for an application to remodel an existing barn on his property into a home....he has not as yet returned with the plans for the permit. WERTIS (checked again on John WHXXX on Searsburg Road. He had phoned me back and told me he had contacted the health dept. Mr. Burgess to be exact and would have the test and a foundation in by fall. Upon furthur contact with Mr. Burgess he said the John Wertis had had an appointment set up for Friday, November 2nd and that he had called and cancelled it with_no future appointment time in sight. S7 44y�.g Suggestions were handed in to Bruce Payne for a flyer to be enclosed with the tax nttices that Building Permits are a MUST and have to be obtained BEFORE an9 project is undertaken and also that the Zoning Ordinance will be ENFORCED. Checked with Mrs. Grant at Bar Angus about some inquiries I had had about a freshly leveled area to the south of the building that some feared might me preparation for a cement pad. Mrs. Grant assured me it was a cleaning up of that area better so that it could be mowed. e. Page two Zonign Report for 10/9 to 11/12 Spent several days tracking down a Mr. Ben Herrmann regarding a house in progress on Willow Creek Road. He had applied both to the Town of Ulysses and the Health Dept. and through some misunderstanding and lack of communication the application was never completed by Mr. Cowan the Zoning Officer at the time. Mr. Herrmann has agreed to complete the necessary plans and contact the Health Dept. for them to continue on with his previous contact with them so all is under control with all parties involved. Had two BZA hearing on Monday night, November 12th. One was for Mrs. Nancy MacCarrick on Agard Road granting her permission to convert an existing outbuilding to a Crafts -Gift shop operation. The second hearing was for John Baisley requesting perumission to operate a meat cutting -wrapping operation in a brand new building on his property at 133 Falls Road. He was granted permisbion as he met the requirements very adequately. I still receive many calls for informations regarding our Zoning in the Township. Took several trips around on inspections. Still appreciate others observing violations to please contact me. I welcome calls at anytime that is convenient to others...day or night.

Adopted regular be received prior to Mr. Agard Aye Mr. Allen Aye Mr. Herrick Aye Mr. Smith Aye Mr. Payne Aye Mr. Garner asked if the 30 MPH speed zone on West Main Street could be extended to the Town/County line. Further discussion followed with a decision to send a letter to New York State DOT in Ithaca requesting their help. Paula Curtin spoke regarding the proposed widened Route 96 to the hospital believing it would make the Town of Hector more attractive as a disposal site for nuclear wastes. Mr. Mason responded that Ulysses had passed a resolution a year ago against nuclear waste disposal in Hector/New York State and he further discussed the Route 96 issue. Mark Carver supported Mrs. Curtin's opinions. Mr. Herrick pointed out the potential danger on Cliff Street, likening it to a 'timebomb' and that as it stands it is a potential death- trap. Further discussion followed with Mr. Mason noting the decision process on Route 96 would be made within a year. Mrs. Robinson called to the attention of the Board the trailer for sale on Searsburg Road. No mobile home existing prior to Zoning can change ownership - it must be removed. There being no further business Mr. Herrick moved, seconded by Mr. Agard, voted and unanimously carried, that the meeting adjourn at 9:30 p.m. Ulysses board approves budget, discusses Rt.• 96 By FRED GASKINS Journal Writer TRUMANSBURG — The Ulysses Town Board approved the 1980 budget then found itself involved in a couple of lively discussions Tuesday night over the Route 96 issue and a 23 percent hike in the town fire contract with the village of Trumansburg. The 1980 budget will increase taxes by 23.84 percent in the village and 28.74 percent in the rest of the town. Taxes in Trumansburg will rise from 93.17 cents this year to $1.17 in 1980. For the rest of the town taxes will go from $1.79 to $2.07. The Route 96 discussion began when Paula Curtin, Hector, and Mark Carter of Trumansburg spoke at the meeting in favor of low•impact solutions to the traffic•problems on Route 96 in the city. Suggesting "that if you make a four -lane, or a six -lane or an eight - lane, it would be more accessible" for the. government to someday transport toxic wastes through the town, Curtin said "you should take into account the ramifications on public health." Carver told the board that al- though the stretch of Route 96 In question is only about two miles long "you can't look at that stretch ...as an isolated thing." But Representative James Mason (R-Trumansburg) said Carver and Curtin were "stretching an Issue." The Town Board's reaction to the suggestions Monday were summed up byboard member Robert C. "Cliff Herrick: Street as It stands is a death tran." Marilyn E. Ough, Town Clerk • The board approved a 1980 fire contract — for $19671 - with the Village of Trumansburg, but not without comment, "I don't like it, it's a one-way street, but I'll suggest the motion, said board member Frederick Allen. Taking exception to the chuckles that followed Allen's comment, Earl Richars, of Trumansburg reminded the board that "there's nearly a hundred persons" ready to battid blazes with the Trumansburg Fire Department, ULYSSES YOUTH UNLIMITED September - October 1979 Report The summer drop -in room closed on September 14 with a party attended by a group of young people whom we had seen over the last few months. A small group of boys set up their stereo equipment and organized the music for the long evening. From this party, an idea grew that they would like to have a dance every month, with these same boys providing the music. On October 12, the first of these regular dances took place, this time in the Presbyterian Chapel. Almost twice as many kids came and agreed it was so successful, that next time they wanted to have a Disco dance at the high school using our very own disc jockeys. The staff's role in this evolution of things has been a supportive one; the kids have organized and arranged each event. The office continues to be a gathering place on Monday and Wednesday afternoons for 10 - 20 kids. Though the space is small, the close quarters has provided us with some interesting discussions and debates, as well as a scene for projects, charades, popcorn, and other assorted diversions (including apple crisp creation, some New Games, and singing). It is also here that a lot of the energy for the dance preparation is generated. Fourteen young people were hired through the Youth Employment Service this September and October. Eleven calls for jobs were received, two of which we were unable to fill. We regularly solicit feedback from the employers in order to monitor the job being done by those we recommend, and three of the employers gave excellent recommendations for the youths who worked for them. Only one was dissatisfied. Our open gym at the elementary school resumed on September 26 and will continue until May, Wednesday evenings, 6 - 8:00. Dennis Fairchild and Donnie Wood volunteer their time each week to assist with the supervision of a very steady group. The telephone survey begun this past spring was completed in September. Two youths randomly called homes in the Trumansburg -- Ulysses area to discover how well Ulysses Youth Unlimited is known in the community, what people liked or didn't like about the program, and whether or not they wanted their tax dollars to support us. Overall, the response was a very positive one. Anyone wishing to see the results of this survey should contact Judy or Sue at the Presbyterian Church. We will be happy to mail you a copy or discuss the findings with you. September - October Report Cont.

Monthly Zoning Report for the period of November 13, 1979 to Dec.10, 1979 Did a report of number. of Building Permits for the period of 1970 to 1979 as a result of a request from a Planning Committee in Ithaca for a Becky Bilderbeck. Received a letter from John Wertis regarding the trailer on his property on Searsburg Road. He stated the trailer is not being used until Spring as he is living at 520 Elm St. in Ithaca for the winter and he intends to finish the cabin in the spring. Checks will be made continually and a deadline set for the removal. Sent 11 notices on November 19th...good results.. .good clean ups. Had request by the Taraszkiwiz's on 1500 Taughannock Blvd. for a Use Variance to operate a commercial garage already existing on the property of the Cayuga Motel. Request was denied at the hearing in the Town Hall on Monday Dec. 10. The party was angry but the BZA had no legal choice. Received 4 notices from the Health Dept. Sent one inquiry about applying for the necessary Building Permit to a J. Barber on the lake front and his reply he will apply in spring when plans are completed. Had another complaint abut Mrs. Bartow's house at the end of the Halseyville Road. Explained to the person that I had a demolition permit and that it states that the job will be done in June of 1980. He was not pleased with the length of time but agreeclto wait it out. It does not appear that Mrs. Bartow has anyone there doing anything and I shall make another contact as it needs clearing up her exact intentions. Talked several times to Carl Burgess regarding B. Herrmann and Andy Simmons. Both persons are very difficult to reach but I continue to keep in touch. Mr. Burgess has been transferred to another area and a Steve Smolen is his replacement. Already I have had several very satisfactory contacts. Steve appears to be most cooperative and we are able to trade information. Finally on November 29, 1979 it was declared that the trailer on Searsburg Road in the Ferris Estate can be sold and lived in as is requiring NO SPECIAL TREATMENT. This property was established before the ordinance became law in late 1959. It develops that each of the dozen or so trailers involved will have to be dealth with individually. I continue to receive many calls about Zoning which makes me think people are realizing we are enforcing the rules more and more. The flyer is already to be included in all the Tax notices with the hope more and better results will take place. Had a call from a resident on Krums Cors. Rd. reporting a rumor of a trailer to be placed on land being negotiated by Mr. Robert Greenwood. After many calls to Health Dept. and to the holders of the new permit rjge two 11/13/79 to 12/10/79 approved for water and septic it was determined that there was never ever a trailer in the picture but a nice home planned for next summer. I was asked by a person down in Ithaca to check on the poor health conditions in a home in Jacksonville from a landlords neglect. After confirming my thoughts on it and checking with the powers that be I returned the call to the interested party that I have absolutely no juri.stiction over conditions within the buidlings..This belongs to the Health Dept. I issued one permit to a Mr. William Chase on RD#3 Perry City Road for his property on the Halseyville Road for a storage shed...# 891. He also plans to apply for house permit in the spring. Respectfully submitted, Mary S. Slade Zoning Officer Town of Ulysses After thought. We did have a problem over the decision of the BZA on the John Baisley Spec. Permit issued on November 12, 1979. After much adieu, checking and meetings it was determined we were leaving it as is and the BZA ruled as such. Only if we have flack will other measures be taken. We are a cosmopolitan type township and it seems we must bend a bit with the conditions enforced in order to continue to have people wanting to locate here thus increasing our tax rolls. This does not mean just permitting any and every little thing but the changing times we do live in makes this a necessity.... discretion to help avoid depression and loss of residents. M.S.S.

Present at hearing: Appeals Board members Seville Reulein, chairman, Adrienne VanDyk, Laura Koskinen; Aileen Beers, secretary. Absent: BZA members Merle Stillions and Richard Garner. Also present: the applicants, Mr. and Mrs. Taraszkiewicz, Town Zoning Officer Mary Slade, Garrison Evans and Katherine Evans. Upon opening the hearing Mr. Reulein asked the secretary to read the public notice for the hearing. He then asked Mr. and Mrs. Taraszkiewicz to elaborate on reasons for their application. They said they purchased the motel in 1966, that they have made improvements in it, that it is income property but that most of the income is used for the maintenance of the property, that they were given a building permit for the construc- tion of a garage in -June of 1977, and that the garage was used for storage of supplies, that Mr. Taraszkiewicz had been working for Cayuga Ford until two weeks ago, that he has been working on his own and family members cars on evenings and weekends. He wishes to operate a commercial body shop and garage in the rear of the motel, but that he has not started working on cars other than those of his own family and that he also would be required to have State registration for the body shop and garage operation. It was also brought out that the motel operation was more or less a seasonal business. Mrs. VanDyk asked about parking conditions for customers and Mrs. Koskinen asked if Mr. Taraszkiewicz had tried to find another job and was told "no". Mr. Reulein asked if they were aware of the Zoning Ordinance and were told "no". He then read Article VI, Section 5, relative to the location of a body shop. Mr. Evans then spoke saying he had been asked to sign a petition approving the body shop. Mr. Reulein had said the BZA did not believe a special permit would apply in this case and that the application should be considered under Article II, section 7, "Use Variance". Mr. Evans said he did not agree with this, that the land had been used for many years and that the reasons for granting a use variance could not be met in this case. On motion of Mrs. VanDyk, seconded by Mrs. Koskinen, the Board voted to consider the application under Article II, Section 7, instead of Article II, Section 8. • Mr. Taraszkiewicz presented to the Board a petition bearing the signatures of 13 friends and neighbors, all but two of whom were believed to be property owners. Petition attached. Also attached is a copy of letter submitted to the Board by Mr. Evans The Board then retired to draft a resolution relative to the case.

Sincerely, MEO:mo Marilyn E. Ough, Town Clerk THE TRUMANSBURG RURAL ALLIANCE WHO BELONGS AND WHAT WE DO The Trumansburg Rural Alliance was begun shortly after the near melt down at Harrisburg, Pennsylvania', last March. Among those attending the first meeting were two farmers, several women with yua:ig children, a carpenter, electrician, high school student, writer, and lawyer. Though our backgrounds were extremely varied, we readily agreed upon two things: That we care about the beautiful environment in which we live and work, and that, as rural residents of Tompkins and Schuyler Counties, we wanted to work together to develop solar energy projects and to challenge the argument that nuclear energy is "clean, safe, and economical". Since our first meeting we have met every Monday evening at the Presbyterian Church in Trumansburg to discuss our ideas and evaluate our progress. We developed a display for the Trumansburg Fair which included a solar hot water heater, solar drier, and energy caving tips for the home owner. We have shown the film "_ have Three Children of My Own" to several community and religious groups, have invited local teachers to an informational meeting, and are working or securing funding for a methane project. The Trumansburg Rural Alliance is esncntially an apolitical organization. We support no candidate for election, make no 2 contributions to political chest funds, and, whatever funding we may acquire as an organization will be used to expand our alternative energy library, secure films for public viewing, and continue our research into grass roots energy options. We believe that it is not only our right, but our duty to work toward resolving the most critical issue of our time, the:: development of alternative energy sources to replace non- renewable resources suoh as oil and uranium. Our meetings are open to the public and we extend an open invitation to anyone interested in the future to join us at the Presbyterian Church in Trumansburg, New York, evc-ry Monday evening. For those who may not wish to attend our weekly meetings, our librarian would be happy to furnish a copy of the books and articles we have acquired for our library to date. Trumansburg Rural Alliance 22 Cayuga Street Trumansburg, New York 14886 Davc&Paula Curtin 387-9488 Fred Wilcox 387-5182 Anne Burgevin 387-6253 January 8, 1980 The Trumansburg Rural Alliance requests that the Town Board pass a law banning the transport of nuclear waste through the Town of Ulysses. SOME IMPORTANT QUESTIONS & ANSWERS: Is the trucking of spent fuel and nuclear waste dangerous? Yes, exceedingly. In the case of spent fuel, an accident can devastate 30-40 miles, rendering the land permanently unfit for human habitation. Human and animal life within this radius would either be killed or injured with untold numbers of cancers resulting. How does this question concern the board? We ask this Board to pass a law because starting in April, 1980, trucks bearing spent fuel will be passing through the Finger Lakes on undisclosed routes. Is it possible to safeguard trucks so that an accident will not occur? No. Human and mechanical error is always possible just as it was at Three Mile Island. Insurance companies are not willing to cover damage from radioactive accidents. The particular company which has been authorized to carry the spent fuel from Chalk River, Canada to South Carolina has a history of sloppy management. The Nuclear Regulatory Commission does not inspect the trucks. This is left up to the trucking company. The trucks are not permitted to go near populated areas. Thus, the shipments will sidestep Syracuse, considered too populated for this dangerous transport (200 millirems/hour are given off at the surface of the casks) and a more rural corridor is being decided on. Why ask a town to ban the transportation of nuclear waste? Because it is an effective way to safeguard small communities against this danger. The Town of Jerusalem in Yates County and over 80 other communities have already passed bans. The trucks will honor the bans and choose another route.

Members of the Board, My name is Fred Wilcox. I reside in the village of Trumansburg and have lived here fpr three years. I am a substitute teacher with the Ithaca, Trumansburg and South Seneca school systems, and a free lance writer. I have four children and am co-owner of a home located at 22 Cayuga Street. I am also a member of the Trumansburg Rural Alliance and have come here to- night to ask that you consider passing a ban on the transportation of high level radioactive waste through the town/village of Trumansburg. For the past year I have researched the problems and dangers involved in transporting high level waste and I would like to tell you some of the things I have found: Over the past five years there have been 328 accident involving the transportation of radioactive wastes. One hundred and eighte of these accidents have resulted in spillage of radioactive material, caus- ing an estimated 115,000 dollars in property damage. Close to 90 percent of all these mishaps were highway accidents. While airways and railroads have imporved their safety records, highway accidents have increased by fifty percent since 1974. Today there are nearly two highway accidents per week involving radioactive materials and there is no indication that, with the ever increasing traffic in radioactive waste, there will be any decline in this rate. Estimates of damages from a major accident of this kind rang into the hundreds of millions, and an area thirty to forty square miles wide would be unhibitable for generations. The federal government has failed to specify what type of emergency procedures would be undertaken following an accident, or who is responsible for the costs of radiation contamination. It has even failed to monitor or inspect shipments of radioactive substances to determine if compliance with packaging require- ments are being met. Drivers are not required to receive accident training before they begin transporting high level waste. 2 What does all this mean to Trumansburg and Tompkins County? It means that when the high level radioactive waste which is accum- mulating at Chalk River Canada is transferred to Barnwell, South Carolina this spring we may be in considerable danger. We will be in danger because, it Yates County passes a ban against the trans-- portation of radioactive wastes through that county, the waste from Chalk River will be coming directly through this village. We will be in danger because the trucking firm, Tr -State Trucking, which is scheduled to move this waste has the worse accident record of any company in the waste transporting business, 152 accidents or "misshapsn since 1974. And we will be in danger if West Valley re- opens or Connecticut, Bill is transferred to the federal government and subsequently becomes a storage site. A waste storage site near Trumansburg means increasing numbers of trucks loaded with this extremely dangerous waste material will be passing through this village and Tompkins County. The state of.Louisiana and more than SO towns and cities throughout the United States have passed bans on the transpor- tation of radioactive waste. Thirty-eight towns in Vermont alone have passed bans and many more are considering bane. The Nuclear Regulatory Commission has admitted the hazards posed by trans- porting high level waste by directing carriers to avoid cities with populations of 100,000. If radioactive waste is dangerous to a community of 100,000, why isn't it dangerous to a community of 200, or 2,000? Is rural America any less vulnerable to the affects of high level radioactive waste than urban America? BRUCE M. PAYNE, Supervisor MARILYN E. OUGH, Clerk JAMES E. RICE, Justice ROBERT C.

The Health Dept. contacted me on Orson Ledger on McKeel Road. Sent a notice for the Zoning Board also regarding junk trucks... which was the third time. Mr. Ledger called and agreed to correct the Septic System by having it cleaned out and that he would try to clean up the truck problems. On one of my inspection trips I did notice he had started to pick up. Took inspection trip and included a stop at the Robert Snedden place on the Pine Ridge Road in Waterburg Heights nn a complaint I had about 10 - 12 animals being housed and penned in the side yard. I sent a notice with the result after several days of other arrangments they were moved to a barn to the East of the property. Finally caught up with Ben Herrmann in regards to the house he built on Willow Creek Road back in the woods and after much a do from Mr. Herrmann he finally sent me a copy of the Health Dept. Permit so I was able to complete his previous application for a Building Permit.... which I was then able to issue.. ,Number 892.

Since we have declared we are enforcing.... this I will endeavor to do. After another inspection trip I sent eight notices. Finally heard from Andy Simmons on his Permit for 1668 Trumansburg Road. He agreed to meet me at the Town Hall at his suggestion... never did show. In the meantime I had had a complaint about the edge of his property on the edge of Seville Reuleins as looking like a trash pile. I sent Mr. Simmons a notice also...his fur bristled a bit and he wondered why Mr. Reulein hadn't called him personally and so forth but after a talk of twenty minutes he appeared cooled down and said that he would not do anything now with the trash but that in spring when the State Conservation Dept. came to plan out how to plant new trees to the best advantage at that time he would have a dozer in there and bury the mess. He does have the necessary permit from the Health Dept. and I am hoping momentarily to catch up with him to be able to finish up his application with me for the necessary Building Permit for the house he is planning to build inside one of the former barns. Noticed John Baisley had removed the junk car he had agreed to at 133 Falls Road..also sent him a word of thanks and indicated I hoped he would soon be able to take down the unsightly barn to the east of his new building as he had agreed with me to do sometime in 1980, '2 Respectfully Submitted. /A-, , ;(-,,,' �S // /Gt / o,,%rj `7 T� cif PNrri r/ ULYSSES YOUTH UNLIMITED November - December 1979 The Youth Employment Service has already begun to experience its winter slump. In Novem er and December only trhee calls for jobs were received and three youths hired. Maybe with a little January advertising we can help pick things up a little. The dances which the kids have organized continue on a regular basis. The November one at the high school was a great success, and two smaller ones here in the Chapel in December went very well. The four teenagers who have been disc jockeys for all of these dances had an opportunity to visit some of the staff at WTKO. They spoke with newscasters, DJ's, and sp its casters and came away knowing much more about how a radio prog am is put together. As a follow up to this visit, we're hoping to make some connection with the Ithaca College Dept. of Communications to take a trip over there as well. During November and December we had two Ithaca College students come and lead a discussion group about teenage sexuality. The group met every Monday for five seeks and may resume again in February when the students return. About twelve teenagers were involved in these groups. We received three referrals in November and December, one from the school, and two from Tompkins County Probation. For one, we have arranged to tutor him; another is now registered with the Y.E.S. and participates regularly in recreation and drop -in activities. The third we are trying to connect with an automotive program at the Ithaca Youth Bureau. From November 30 to December 2, five young people and two staff went to New York City for the week -end. We stayed in Manhattan and walked all over town from Central Park right down to the Battery, including Fifth Avenue, Greenwich Village, the Empire State Building, and the Statue of Liberty. It was an excellent trip! As a result of some irresponsible behavior on the part of some UYU people, our permission to use the elementary gym on Wednesday nights has been revoked until further notice. It is unfortunate, however, we believe it can lead to an increased sense of responsibility in the future. Several of those concerned have asked to speak with the school principal about the possibility of resuming our activities after a reasonable time with some different and more stringent guidelines. The young people have been very aware of the absence of this privilege. Winter bowling has resumed on a regular bi-weekly basis. There have also been infrequent trips to Cass Park for ice skating. In the future, this report will be a quarterly one rahter than bi-monthly. You can expect them in April, July, October, and January. November - December Report Cont.

It is an outreach program designed to work closely with small numbers of young people in the area of counseling, employment, and recreation. Our contact with youths takes us into the community, schools, and homes. Through our interactions with youths and the activities in which we are involved, our goals are to support teenagers in their development of self-awareness, self-confidence, and self-esteem; to assist teenagers to become more autonomous people, and to provide an atmosphere for positive interactions to occur among teenagers. The board governing Ulysses Youth Unlimited is the T.R.U.S.T. (Toward Responsive Unified Service in Trumansburg) Board, a sub -committee of the Ulysses Town Board. It is a seven member board made up of community members who meet once a month in an advisory capacity and handle all financial interactions for the agency. Board members also serve as an interface between the agency and the community at large, assisting with fund raising and public relations. THE STAFF Our current regular staff consists of one full time coordinator and one half-time C.E.T.A. youth worker whom we have shared with the Ithaca Youth Bureau since April. At this time also, we have two volunteer Big Sisters, and two recreation volunteers who help with supervision at Wednesday night basketball and some dances. During November and December 1978, there was one work-study person 15 hours/week -- from January through June, there was another. Both of these people were available to us through CIVITAS, a Cornell volunteer agency. Two fieldwork students from Ithaca College worked eight hours/week, January through April, as Big Sisters and in the recreation program. During the summer, we had three full-time work-study people and two full time C.E.T.A. workers, one S.W.T.P. (Summer Work Training Program) and one S.Y.E.P. (Summer Youth Employment Program). Three other people have volnntnsrsd during the past year as Big brothers or Sisters.

' July --Aug -- Nov --Oct -- Nov -Oct Nov --April,. -- -3 - THE PROGRAM fluting the past year, we have attempted to develop a local version of the Big Brother - Big Sister program using college students as well as community volunteers. Though numbers of volunteers have remained small, the impact some of them have had on individual lives of the Little brothers and sisters has been very beneficial. Many of the youths in our program come through direct referrals from the Tompkins County Probation Department or the Trumansburg schools, although some come to us on their own or through friends. Referrals from the probation department are usually youths who are in the Diversion Program. We arrange for them to work on some community service project for the duration of their diversion and make the appropriate recommendation to their probation officer when it is completed. During and after their involvement with probation, we also attempt to integrate these youths into other parts of our program. We also have a close working relationship with the schools, particularly the guidance department. We often confer on youths who are having specific problems, and we receive referrals from them when new situations arise. Other ways we have of meeting teenagers are by "hanging out" at the Jr. high and high school during their lunch hours, and by having our office (in the basement of the Presbyterian Chapel) open two afternoons each week for kids to drop -in to see us. Most of the work that we do is with individuals and small groups. We do some informal counseling, and when appropriate, we will refer to outside • agencies for specific problems, e.g., Planned Parenthood, Mental Health, • Alcoholism Council. Some college students and a few members of the community also serve as big brothers or sisters to some of the younger • youths involved. Our Youth Employment Service has been functioning now for a year and a half. Teenagers file an application and then receive an interview with us. We advertise in the community that we have teenagers who,are available to work at all sorts of odd jobs, as well as regular full and part-time employment. The people at the Village Office very generously receive calls from people who need work done and pass them on to us to fill the job. From November 1978 to October 1979, we have placed 74 youths in either a short or long-term job. Recreation is another aspect of our program. During the school year, we have a regular basketball program one night each week in one of the school gyms. In the warmer weather, we move outside for some softball and frisbee. In addition to other irregular recreational activities (bowling, ice skating, cross country skiing, swimming), we also take overnight trips. During the ewer., the Presbyterian Church makes available to us the room next to our office. We open this up to the kids involved in our program for foosball, ping pong, music, and talks -- a general hang-out, drop -in place. We were open Monday through Thursday 4 - 9:00 and Saturday nfrnrn..unn ]7, .• S,nn, opening .Tine 73 and rinsing September 14. If -4- As a result of some extra New York State Division For Youth money available through the Town of Ulysses, we were able once again this year to take some trips with 8 - 13 year olds. Though our budget was only a quarter of last year's R.T.S. money, we took two trips, one to Roseland and one to Cayuga State Park, EVALUATION OF OBJECTIVES The following is an assessment of how well we were able to meet our objectives for the year: 1) To set up a Big Brother - Big Sister program in the Ulysses - Trumansburg area. There were ten big brothers and sisters during the past year, four of which were volunteers. A total of 13 young people benefited from this one-to-one program. Two of these relationships were just for. the summer, three others were for a three month period, three more continued for 6 - 9 months, and five are currently seeing their big sisters and brothers. Earlier in the year, we matched some elementary boys and girls with some teenage big brothers and sisters. Five teenagers received a little sister or brother, but only two of these lasted more than a few weeks. One which began last November still continues today. The other relationship lasted three months. During the summer, we hired the one teenager through the Summer Youth Employment Program to work with four boys, 8 - 10 years old. This provided these four boys with activities and a friend to spend time withthis summer. 2) To supervise probation and diversion referrals as received in community service projects in town and integrate them into our program as appropriate. We received only three referrals from the Tompkins County Probation Department this year and all three of those were during the first six months. UYU staff worked closely with each of these three referrals for the duration of their diversion work. 3) To maintain a close working relationship with the Jr. and Sr. highs and to solicit referrals of youths who would benefit from our program. The school administration, guidance counselors, and psychologist have been very open to our presence in the schools. UYU staff spends lunch hour each day at either'the Jr. high or the high school. We use this time to see kids we want to see, to be there for kids who want to see us, and to be available to meet new kids we might otherwise not see. We receive referrals from school personnel and confer on students whom we are mutually concerned about. During the past year we had 12 rnonngora referred to us. Of those, four were matched with a -5 - Big brother or sister, two continue to receive regular one-to-one time from the UYU staff, one received tutoring, one participates regularly in many phases of our recreation program, and one was referred to a program at the Ithaca Youth Bureau. The other three referrals have been approached at various times, but as yet we still have very little contact with them. Though the school remains our primary referral source, we also have some youths come to us from other sources: 6 from the local police, 3 from probation, 3 from parents, 3 from the Ithaca Youth Bureau, and one from a local church. Of these, 5 receive regular one-to-one attention from UYU staff, 4 are active in the Y.E.S., and 2 have had a Big brother or sister. Seven have chosen not to become involved. 4) To refer 50 youths to employers for jobs. Out of 114 teenagers referred to jobs this year, 74 were employed to do 46 jobs. Seven were hired for regular part-time jobs; the remainder were hired for short-term employment. We received 63 calls for jobs, 17 of which were never filled. The total number of young people registered with the Y.E.S. this year was 64. In addition to our own local job soliciting, we have cooperated with the Ithaca Youth Employment Service and with the teen outreach people at the NYS Job Service. Both of these connections have resulted in jobs for a number of our teenagers, with some help from posting current jobs available through the Ithaca Y.E.S. that we put up at the high school here. • 5) To provide low competition, high success regular recreational • activities for 40 youths. The regular recreational activities that we have serve as vehicles for us to be with kids informally in a relaxed, enjoyable atmosphere. It also provides planned time to be active in what is for some already a sedentary life. Average daily attendance for the regular activities is as follows: basketball - 26, softball - 24, bowling - 6, swimming - 4, and cross country skiing - 5. 6) To provide informal counseling for 90% of the youths with whom we work. The informal activities which we or the young people organize serve as vehicles for other sorts of interactions to occur. Things like the trips and recreation provide us with opportunities to be with kids in casual cituations. Spending time at the schools during lunch hour, having the office open afternoons in winter, and openning the drop -in room in the summer increases the contact we have and allows young people to seek us out at varying times. Though these times may be group or individual interactions, we also set up one-to-one time with selected individuals either by providing Big brothers or sisters or by seeking out particular individuals on a regular basis. During the past year, we have spent time with Approxfmntnly 50 young ponpin, often providing n,.pr..tL Ut guidnnce. r .., -6- 7) To consult with 20 parents of youths'in'our program, • About 10 parents have been consulted about their children. The parents seem to be pleased with the kind of attention their teenagers are getting from us and have felt free to call us when the need arose. U) To involve 50 young people in cultural and outdoor experiences. This year there were trips. to Washington D.C. and flew York City, as well as some camping trips to the Adirondacks, the black Forest in Pennsylvania, and beam 1iill near Dryden. There was also a two day canoe trip on Cayuga Lake. Picnics and day hikes at Treman Park, Lick brook, and Six Mile Creek were also regular activities during the summer. Ulysses Youth Unlimited has a very important connection with the Ithaca Youth Bureau. The T.P,.U.IS.T. Boardcontracts with the youth bureau to hire thecoordinator, and provide supervision and back up for the person hired. This relationship is a very valuable one- as it allows the coordinator to have direct contact with other youth workers; sharing dialogue and support in areas of mutual concern. Training; offered to Ithaca Youth Bureau volunteers is also available to volunteers and interns who work for UYU. ' Young people in 'the Ulysses -- Trumansburg Community also benefit from this relationship. Some have become involved in the Mechanical All. -Stars and Blacl: Oak at times when their energies needed focusing. Pregnant teenagers here have been nerved by the people working in the Teen Pregnancy and Teen Parenthood program. The Ithaca Youth Employment Service has been a source of jobs for a few of our teenagers, and the Probation Employment -Program, a county program administered by the City Youth Bureau, has found permanent part-time employment for two of our teenagers this year. Another critical area of. support comes to us from the Presbyterian Church where we have our office all year round, the summer drop -in room, and the use of other. rooms for special occaisiona. The church also shares their telephone and office equipment with us. This kind of support greatly facilitates the administration of our program and is in fact vital to in operation.'

Slade and by means of this resolution express its gratitude for her conscientious and dedicated service to the Town. C b I Cl Adopted Mr. Agard Mr. Allen Mr. Herrick Mr. Payne Aye Aye Aye Aye Town Attorney Arthur Golder advised the Board on the need to appoint a tax collector. The Department of Audit and Control Report of Examination noted that the Town of Ulysses became a First Class Town on January 1, 1974 and as such, a Receiver of Taxes and Assessments should be duly elected or appointed. Thus there is a vacancy in elective office to be filled by a Town Board appointment until the Fall election. The alternative is to pass a Local Law making the job appointive which would require a referendum. Since all Town Clerks in Tompkins County are also Tax Collectors Mrs. Ough said she had contacted the Town Clerks in the First Class Towns of Dryden and Lansing. They are appointed (Dryden annually and Lansing every two years), the Towns having passed a resolution making the office appointive just prior to becoming First Class Towns. Mr. Allen moved, seconded by Mr. Herrick, that further action be tabled until the February meeting with the Town Clerk notifying the Board of Elections of the vacancy in office to be filled in the November election, voted and unanimously carried. Town Attorney Arthur Golder stated he had examined the two proposed local laws the Trumansburg Rural Alliance has advocated. The Town has authority to prohibit storage of radioactive waste in the Town of Ulysses but no authority to prohibit transportation of radio- active waste on all highways in the Township of Ulysses since the Town does not, control state and county highways. He noted Towns have the least power for regulating traffic. A lengthy discussion followed with input from residents and Board members. Ms. Burgevin said contact would be made with a nearby Town that has passed a ban on transporting and a report given next meeting. Mr. Agard moved, seconded by Mr. Herrick that further action be tabled until the February meeting, voted and unanimously carried. Mr. Carver asked everyone to read "Nuclear Power, the Bargain We Can't Afford". Mr. Reulein asked the status of the Auble Trailer Park License and if penalty could be assessed.

Funds not used last year were not encumbered and an additional bill has been received. A. motion was made by Mr. Smith, seconded by Mr. Agard, that the following resolution he adopted: RESOLVED: that the 1980 General Fund Budget be amended to include $1000 for Programs for the Aging, Account A6772.4 Adopted Mr. Agard Aye Mr. Allen Aye Mr. Smith Aye Mr. Herrick Aye After a discussion led by Mrs. Beers Mr. Agard moved, seconded by Mr. Smith, voted and unanimously carried, the investment of some Town funds in Certificates of Deposit earning about 12% interest and putting other funds in an accessable interest bearing account. Mr. Herrick discussed the Audit Findings in the Report of Examination by Department of Audit and Control and the need for outside assis- tance. A motion was made by Mr. Allen, seconded by Mr. Agard, that the following resolution be adopted: RESOLVED: that a CPA representative of Coopers and Lybrand, national consulting and accounting firm, consult with the Town Board and the Supervisor regarding the Town's accounting procedures in order to bring them into further compliance with the procedures established by the State within the past two years. Adopted Mr. Agard Aye Mr. Allen Aye Mr. Smith Aye Mr. Herrick Aye Mr. Herrick noted receipt of a revised Town zoning map from T. G. Miller Engineering. Mr. Golder will examine the map before approval for reproduction is given. The decision was made to have up to 20 of the full size maps reproduced and to get a reduced size for the Town to copy,•as needed. Mr. Herrick invited comments from the Trumansburg Rural Alliance. Mr. Wilcox called attention to Section 5 of the 1977 Transportation Law which he interpreted as giving leeway to municipalities to ban the transport of nuclear waste. Attorney Golder said his opinion was the same as two weeks ago, that the Town does not have the authority to pass such a ban. Further discussion followed. In answer to a question Mr. Wilcox agreed the waste has to be transported but not anywhere until it is safe to move. Mr. Holtkamp gave his January Highway report and also noted: All summer stone has been hauled; Repairs have been made to roller, cinder spreader, grader, Chevrolet 1 -Ton; Air dryer installed on Mack; no plows have been out yet (as of February 1st) but this does not necessarily mean a savings since it also reflects in loss of income from the County for snow plowing. In answer to a question Mr. Holtkamp stated that about 140 Tons of salt had been used on the roads • so far. Mr. Cox reported on zoning activities noting collection of back and current trailer park licenses. Mr. Herrick reiterated the Board's policy on complaints to be handled by the Zoning Officer. They all must be in writing and signed. No action will be taken on verbal or anonymously written complaints. County Personnel will assist in screening applicants for Zoning officer and the County Health Department will train regarding inspection. Salary is under consideration. Mr. Cox introduced Mr; Stover. Mr. Stover stated he has decided to cease the saw mill operation with the hope he can be allowed to finish his commitments. Several voiced regrets and shock at his decision and wanted him to reconsider. Attorney Golder gave a summary of the background of the situation. Mrs. Ough reported on licenses issued in January (on file in the Supervisor's office). She noted approximately 1/3 of the more than 600 dog licenses issued so far were for dogs that were not enumer- ated. $137,838.00 in Town and County tax receipts have been Ulysses Town Board 1V 2-12-80 page 3 paid over to the Supervisor and $59,000.00 has been sent on to the County leaving about $90,000 outstanding. She notarized 48 signa- tures and reported on acknowledgements of receipt of resolution on transportation of high level nuclear waste from Senator Moynihan, Secretary to the Governor Robert J. Morgado and Assemblyman Sam MacNeil. She also had notice from D.O.T. Resident Engineer Frederick Grout that the Regional Traffic & Safety Group will notify the Town of their determination regarding the extension of the 30 MPH speed zone northerly on Route 96 to the County line, upon completion of their study. Justice James E. Rice, Jr. reviewed the State Audit Report findings on his books. He also noted in 1979 he handled 618 cases resulting in $12,267.00 in fines sent to New York State. 98% of the cases were violations of State laws and the State reimburses, for services ® rendered, $5.00 per case to the Towns. This fee has remained un- changed for 40 years. Mr. Rice asked the Town Board to consider passing another resolution in support of increasing the amount returned to municipalities. Mr. Reitz addressed the Board as President of the Jacksonville Community Association requesting reconsideration of the "Park & Ride" site at the Town Barns on Colegrove Road. He cited the narrow road, the number of children along the section of road that would be heavily traveled and suggested use of the County Home. He also suggested a pick-up point for those without cars, especially the elderly, perhaps the church in Jacksonville. Mr. Herrick noted correspondence had been received from: a. Assemblyman MacNeil - Subject: allocation of $100 million • for local roads from 1979 bond issue. • b. Assemblyman J.W. McCabe, Sr., State Chairman of Committee on Local Governments - Subject: Civil Service Reform • c. State Board of Equalization and Assessment - Subject: notice of Tentative State Equalization Rate - hearings schedule includes Syracuse on February 25 through 29, 1980 d. Resolution from Ulysses Grange regarding transfer of Connecticut Hill lands to Federal Government. He read item d which had 18 signatures. There being no further business Mr. Allen moved the meeting adjourn at 9:40 p.m., seconded by Mr. Smith, voted and carried. Marilyn E.

Mr. Allen moved adoption of the following resolution, seconded by Mr. Agard: WHEREAS: the State Budget as proposed by Governor Carey, effective April 1, 1980, to reduce the funding for municipalities to run recreational and youth service programs under the Youth Development/ Delinquency Prevention programs, has come to our attention, and WHEREAS: Town budgets were adopted in November of 1979 for the 1980 fiscal year for recreation and youth service, and WHEREAS: the Ulysses Town Board believes the 65% cut in proposed State reimbursement for recreation and youth service will impose an unwarranted financial burden on taxpayers of the Township for 1980, • therefore be it RESOLVED: that the cut in funding for the subject programs be postponed until the 1981 fiscal year, and that municipalities be informed of pending budget modifications and cuts in advance of their budget adoption dates. Adopted Mr. Agard Aye Mr. Allen Aye Mr. Smith Aye Mr. Herrick Aye Mr. Herrick read a letter and proposed resolution from Attorney Martin A. Luster regarding TRUST, copy attached.

TO: PROs: DATE: Tompkins County Youth Bureau 1701 North Cayuga Street Ithaca, New York 14850 272-5339 Town Supervisors Village and City Mayors Recreation and Youth Commission Chairmen John A. Gaines, March 6, 1980 Direct( RE: 1980-81 Proposed State Budget u< < <.��. When the County Youth Bureau was established in 1977, one of our assigned tasks was to keep municipalities and agencies informed about funding and new legislation which will affect them. It is in this capacity that I am writing to inform you about the very important local impact of the 1980-81 State Budget as proposed by Governor Carey. As you are no doubt aware, the New York State Division for Youth has been providing funding for municipalities to run recreation and youth service pro- grams under the Youth Development/Delinquency Prevention (YD/DP) program since the late 1940's. Legislation passed in 1974 authorized each municipality to receive $2.25 per capita for each youth residing in that municipality and each county to receive an additional $2.25 per capita plus funds for administration of youth bureaus. In 1978, an additional $1.00 per capita was added for youth service programs. The Governor has proposed "capping" the entire state-wide YD/DP program at $12 million, a level far below what was actually spent in 1979. In addition, he has recommended a one year formula adjustment which would reduce the $2.25 per capita to $.89 per capita. The effect of this cut on each municipality is shown on Fact Sheet #1. I think that you will agree that these are drastic cuts. They represent a total of $92,728 in reductions or 76% of the projected allocations for 1980 programs. The cuts are effective April 1. 1980 if the Budget passes as recommended. I hope you would agree with me that we cannot allow this to happen. The Association of New York State Youth Bureaus is working in Albany to suggest how changes might be made to solve the problem, but nothing will happen unless our state legislators, especially Assembly Ways and Means and Senate Finance Committee members, understand how important YD/DP funds have been in establishing high quality recreation and youth service program created to meet local needs. I have taken the liberty of enclosing a sample letter and names of members of key committees for your reference. Assemblyman Sam MacNeil should also be made aware of our problem. The only way we can restore the funding is through a large volume of mail expressing our concern. Mail should reach Albany by March 1 , if at all possible. If I can be of any assistance to you, please give me a call. I have en- closed Fact Sheet #2 which lists county level programs for 1980. It is clear that a 74% reduction in fund■ at the county level would close down most of those programs. Unless we take action together, the whole YD/DP system will disappear.

V. IPHONI x07.357.6000 February 6, 1980 Robert Herrick Deputy Town Supervisor Ulysses Town Hall Elm St. Trumansburg, N.Y. 14886 Dear Bob: I have enclosed a draft of a Resolution which I would request the Board to consider. Tom Lange has asked me to obtain a Federal tax exemption on behalf of TRUST and in the process of so doing I have discovered that apparently no formal resolution was ever passed by the Town Board creating the organization. It is my understanding that the Town has, since 1974, utilized TRUST as its youth service agency and has in fact appointed its Board members. It would seem appropriate at this time to formalize the relationship that has existed between the Town and TRUST and in so doing, give TRUST the legal status necessary for it to obtain its exemption. Please let me know if the Board requires any further infor- mation with regard to this. Thank you. VVer%9ru1ze yours, rt t4AL : lka Enc.

This programming is in addition to the commercial free, uninterrupted movies and special sporting events our HBO subscribers have come to enjoy. The end result is an increase in the quality and variety of HBO's programming. in keeping with our commitment to provide the best possible service, at the most reasonable price, Ceracche Television has charged only $6.00 for Home Box Office. This fee is $3.35 below the average monthly charge for Home Box Office throughout the nation. Due to increased costs associated with providing Home Box Office, we must raise our monthly service fee $1.00 starting March 1, 1980. Although our franchise doer not require this type of rate notification I felt that you would appreciate being kept aware of our activities. If you have any questions pertaining to this, please call.

This pro- grams aim is to prevent artifical, long-range spread of the insect and to eradicate incipient remote infestations within the United States. Two methods are employed to accomplish these goals: The first is the application of an insecticide resulting in the knockdown of the population thus eliminating potential spread. The second, if spraying is not possible, is the examinaticn of each vehicle as it leaves the recreation area and the destruction of any observed eggs, larvae, or pupae. The areas involved in Tompkins County are the public and private campgrounds. In the past, hundreds of acres surrounding the campgrounds were aerial sprayed with chemical insecticides. This years proposal is to spray from the ground four campgrounds with the chemical insecticide Carbaryla(Sevin 80s), Treman State campground, Taughannock State Willow Wood campground, and Spruce Row campground. Evaluation of the Proposed Program The Tompkins County Environmental Management Council after numerous hours of research of the proposed program and evaluation of other programs throughout the Northeast, presents the following evaluation of the Regulatory Program: It is the opinion of the Tompkins County Environmental Management Council that the Gypsy Moth Control Program as proposed for Tompkins County, New York, has been, and will continue to be, counter productive unless there is a re-evaluation of the goals adopted for the regulatory program, and research is begun to determine the effectiveness of current treatment methods. State Parks and private campgrounds have been annually subjected to applications of chemical insecticides at the same time that local and State foresters and entomologists contend that Tompkins County does not have a Gypsy Moth problem. Chemical insecticides in previous programs in the county have been sprayed over residential areas and onto major water bodies in violation of EPA directions. The use of chemical insecticides (the only alternative the regulatory program accepts) impacts the beneficial insects and predaceous species of the Gypsy Moth. The Gypsy Moth habitat is therefore free from most of its natural enemies. The insecticides used are not 100% effective thereby leaving a por- tion of the Gypsy Moth population in a favorable environment, leading to re-establishment of larger future populations of the pest. This necessitates treatments for the following year. 128 East Buffalo Street, Ithaca, NewMxk, 14850 Telephone (607) 274 5286 /274.5287 -2 - No data exists on the number of vehicles traveling interstate that are affected by the regulatory program. The 1980 program proposes to treat four campgrounds out of the 9 major facilities in Tompkins County. In addition to the camp- grounds, the Finger Lakes Region is known for its State and public lands which comprise over 28,000 acres in our county. Proposed treatment is for less than 100 acres. Why subject the environment to any additional toxics, or the tax- payers to additional costs, if the scope of the program is so limited, and serious questions exist concerning its effectiveness. The intent, purpose, and implementation of the two programs, Regulatory and Suppression Programs under the USDA, seem to have diametrically opposed missions. Both are interested in the control of the Gypsy Moth, but the suppression pro- gram acknowledges that the pest must co -exist in the forest land and works to establish this balance where the regulatory program trys to eradicate the Gypsy Moth although no treatment has been found to be 100% effective. The integrated pest control method accepted by the suppression program is rejected by the regulatory program. It seems to the Council that the cooperative suppression program is on the right track when it is acknowledging that the Gypsy Moth must find its niche in the biotic community and that it can co -exist at low levels without significant impacts. The problems associated with the mandatory use of chemical insecticides are ignored by the regulatory program. Additionally, research has documented the Gypsy Moth has s read year after year despite the regulatory and suppression rograms. The cycle of Gypsy Moth infestation, treatment, Gypsy Moth and predator popes elation reduction, Gypsy Moth population re-establishment, and then treatment, appears to be a program of self perpetuation Research reports differ on the impacts of vegetation defoliation and differential mortality and its interaction with drought. The actual economic significance and seriousness of the impact on forests by the Gypsy Moth in the Northeast needs careful study and analysis. It is apparent from the lack of data presented in the Environmental Statement by the USDA over the past couple of years on the regulatory program, that careful research has not n e n to evaluate its effectiveness. Tax dollars are being spent in the implementation of the program without determining the long-range commitments we are creating and the direct and, indirect costs of this undertaking. The current cost benefit analysis evaluates only short-term effects. The total system must be evaluated and the long term benefits to society examined. Included in a total and long term assessment is the need to determine whether continual spraying is hindering in slowing the natural adaptation of the Gypsy Moth in the forests of the Northeast. Recommendations The Tompkins County Environmental Management'Council hereby recommends to the Tompkins County Board of Representatives that: (1) They oppose the use of biological or chemical control of the Gypsy Moth on any property within the county by the U.S. Department of Agriculture until the actual economic significance and seriousness of the impact on forests by the Gypsy Moth are carefully studied and analyzed. (2) That they take appropriate measures to halt the program by contacting the USDA and our Federal and State Legislators. (3) That they stand ready and willing to work with the USDA and our Federal and State Legislators in developing a sound Gypsy Moth program in Tompkins County for the future. (4) That the APHIS be requested to train private and public campground staff to inspect and treat all vehicles upon checking out of their respective campgrounds as an alternative to the chemical applications. This will produce data on the severity of the problem of transporting the Gypsy Moth and will be more effective in Tompkins County in preventing the further spread of the insect to uninfested areas. (5) That if and when any major outbreaks occur in local forests, .evaluation of the use of biological controls and insecticides be undertaken. Respectfully submitted, Gvnsv Moth Control Program Committee Armand Adams Professor Richard Fischer Professor Lawrence Hamilton Professor David Pimentel Paul Finger This report was adopted by the majority of the Council present at the February 14, 1980 General Meeting. 3/7/80 Y I Box 94 Jacksr.nville, N.Y.

Beach Stover Cather?ne B, stover I f Ulysses Town Board 4-8-80 page 2 y In answer to a question regarding consultation with Coopers & Lybrand Mrs. Beers reported that their representative, Douglas Crowell, spent three days with her going through the new bookkeep- ing procedures. He gave ideas on what New York State requires and what the Town can get by without doing, plus help in setting up inventory. Eli A motion was made by Mr. Agard, seconded by Mr. Herrick, that the following resolution be adopted: RESOLVED: that Supervisor Bruce M. Payne be authorized to execute the S.P.C.A. Dog Control Contract and Addendum. Adopted Mr. Agard Aye Mr. Allen Aye Mr. Herrick Aye Mr. Smith Aye Mr. Payne Aye Mr. Cox reported that the Tompkins County Cable Commission would be holding a re -organizational meeting on Thursday evening. He noted that line extension has not been forgotten and no cable complaints have been received from our area over the last few months. He presented a plaque to Supervisor Bruce M. Payne for the Town of Ulysses from Ceracche Television (ATC) for helping them attain their one millionth subscriber, dated 11-9-79. During March, as acting zoning officer, Mr. Cox reported issuance of six building permits (3 -new homes, 2 -additions and 1 -garage! storage). He also inspected the Trailer Parks and found them in good order. Mrs. Ough reported on licenses issued in March and also the receipt from ATC of the TV Franchise Fee $152.41 covering January -December 1979. She forwarded two payments totaling $10,000 to the County on the Town & County Tax Warrant and paid the Supervisor $136.55 in penalty fees. (Reports on file in Supervisor's office.) Even though the Dog Control Contract had not been signed the S.P.C.A. sent out letters to delinquent dog owners bringing good results. Mr. Garner asked if communication had been received regarding development of the area near Lamoreaux-Quinn. Mr. Cox said he had spoken to Mr. Auble and learned he intended to put in his own sewage system and was waiting to hear from the Town Board on how to proceed further. Mrs. Ough read the letter received by the Town Board from Mr. Auble and reply sent by Deputy Supervisor Herrick - copies attached. Mr. Garner noted many people object to this development and want the opportunity to present their side. Mr. Reitz asked if there had been any decision on moving the Park & Ride site. Mr. Payne noted the Town Board had taken no action and Highway Supt. Holtkamp would be in a better position to answer. Mr. Payne noted receipt of the following correspondence: a.

Stoverfs saw mill By CYNTHIA MCQUEEN Journal Writer JACKSONVILLE — He sees himself as a small saw mill operator being crushed by red tape. His neighbor says he's a slick businessman who is running roughshod over the law. Beach M. Stover, the man in question, built a saw mill on his property in 1976. The land is in a rural area between Jacksonville and Trumansburg on Gorge Road. According to zoning laws, Stover is not allowed to operate the mill for profit, but only for personal use. Stover is operating as a business and is in the process of trying to get the law he now violates amended. Stover said that he is a small busi- nessman and a farmer; he didn't realize that he was in violation until his neighbors complained and the people investigating the complaint pointed it out. But his neighbor, John Gill, writer, poet and co-owner of Crossing Press, the Trumansburg publishing firm, sees the situation differently. "I admire him because he has been operating against the law for almost five years now, making money. That requires a keen business head;" Gill said sarcastically. Gill, whose house is about 750 feet from the mill itself, has hired lawyer Martin Luster to "protect my self, my children and wife." According to Gill, the noise from the saw mill Is horrendous, the traffic it brings is dangerous and the mess it leaves in plain sight is outragous. According to Stover, Gill is the only person who complained about the mill, and, he adds, several residents have pub- licly voiced their approval of it. "It's not noisy. We probably won't even use it from mid -April to mid -July," said Stover. The solution Gill proposes: "If he would move that mill to another part of his property it wouldn't bother,anyone.-:He must have hundreds and hundreds of acres he could put it on, maybe thousands." Stover said that the cost of moving the mill would be prohibitive. Stover would not give a dollar figure on the cost of moving the mill. Other saw mill owners 'in the area backed Stover's claim. "It's a difficult and expensive process. He has to take down the building that surrounds the saw and rebuild it, and while he is out of business he will lose,; money," said Bob Nickerson, co-owner of the Double Aught Lumber Company in':; Spencer. Stover 15 allowed to operate because his application before the planning board Is still being considered. That would allow him to operate the mill as it is, if approved p, by the town board. Luster said it was Inappropriate for Bruce Payne, the supervisor of Ulysses who, with the other board members will decide the mill's fate ,to publicly state that he hopes the application will pass. 'r Luster said, "I think that It is an .; incredible statement for any officer of any municipality to make, given the circum- stances. How he had the audacity to make such a statement while the case is still pending I do not know." Luster added that the application is little more than a farce, saying that in combination with the decision -makers having their mInds already made up, the planning board, which will make a recom.:; mendation in the case before turning it over the the town board, has Stover's son, ';. Budd, as one of its members. "It won't make a bit of difference," said ;; Stover about his son being on the board.;4 "He's a fair person. He is just doing his duty as a good, American citizen." Luster said that Budd Stover's presence?. on the planning board will sway the ; board's decision. -4 Althought this stalemate has been going on for years, both Gill and Stover now says they are willing to find a compromise. The 'r only problem Is that they can't agree on; one. S. BILL AUBLE CONSTRUCTION CORP.

Mrs. Cooper in turn asked her husband to address the Board. Mr. Garner asked Mr. Cooper if there would be a number of cars parked on his property, about the storage of chemicals (paints and thinners) disposition of used motor oil, and if Mr. Cooper would be stripping junk cars on his property for use in his proposed business. Mr. Cooper said there would be no cars parked waiting to be worked on, that chemicals would be properly stored in compliance with State laws, that the disposal of used oil would be no problem as there are always individuals and concerns asking for the used oil, and that he would not be stripping junk cars for parts since needed parts would be obtained from parts outlets (stores or junk yards). Asked if the land could be used for farming purposes, the Board was told one-third of the land is swampy and unusable as farm land. Mrs. VanDyk asked when the land was purchased and was advised the purchase took place in 1970, that tho Coopers had lived there except when Mr. Cooper's employment took them elsewhere. (Mr. Cooper is currently unemployed). While a "for sale" sign has been posted on the property for the past two years the Board was advised the land is not for sale and that the sign had recently been removed. Mr. Cooper also advised the Board that a relative by marriage is expected to work with him in the proposed business. The proposed building to house the business will measure 40x60 feet with two overhead doors and one sliding door and would accommodate as many as 6 or 8 vehicles for repairs. The building would be situated 80 feet back from the roadway, the closest neighbors are located 1/2 mile and 1/10 miles from their property. Mr. Szabo spoke saying he believed the proposed business would change the character of the neighborhood and asked what guarantees the Board had that if the property is sold the new owner would not turn it into a junk yard. Mr. and Mrs. Wykoff and Mrs. Griffin spoke against the proposed business. In answer to Mrs. Bauchle's question, Mr. Cooper said repair work on vehicles would be scheduled so that there would be no "pile up" of vbhislee waiting to get into the shop for repairs. The Board then excused itself so that it might discuss and draft a resolution. Reconvening the hearing Mrs. VanDyk asked the secretary to read the proposed resolution: WHEREAS: Juanita E. Cooper, residing at 524 Iradell Road in the Town of Ulysses (Parcel No. 35.1-8) for a use variance under Art. II, Sec. 7, of the Town of Ulysses Zoning Ordinance to permit the erection of a garage structure for use as a body repair shop on the above premises, and BZA hearing - J & M Cooper 5-5-80 p2 WHEREAS: the applicant cannot meet the necessary three conditions listed under Art.

NEW YORK 12210 • TELEPHONE (518) 462.1185 April, 1980 Dear Judge: When you Impose a fine for a violation of a staC� traffic law and send that fine money to the State, the State reimburses your municipality $5 for that case and keeps the rest. This procedure has existed in law since 1939. Your State Association of Magistrates is convinced that this 41 -year old rate no longer represents a fair reimbursement to your municipality. Several prominent state legislators agree with this conclusion. At our request, these legislators have introduced a bill which would increase the amount to a more realistic $15 per case. The number of this bill is Assembly 10900, Senate 2397-A. WE NEED YOUR HELP IF THIS BILL IS TO BECOME STATE LAW. State legislators are expected to be familiar with over 20,000 bills during a legislative session. Faced with such an enormous number of proposals, it is only natural that they devote moat of their energies to those bills which they think are most important. Often, their best determinant of which bills are most important is the vocal support of the people in their districts. Please communicate your support for this bill to your Senator and Assemblyma this month by using the two enclosed prepaid postcards. If. possible, please contact your legislators personally to express your support for this legis— lation. A strong local court system must not become an excessive burden on the real property taxpayers of our communities. Proper reimbursement for the state services which we provide will enable us to maintain our courts at an effi— cient and affordable level. Sj.pcerely, RODERICK 0VIS President, NYS Association of Magistrates Please Note: If you are a Town Justice, you can provide additional impetus to this legislation by asking your town board to adopt the enclosed Resolution and to send it to the persons designated in thatResolution. The New York Conference of Mayors has already sent to village mayors a similar Resolution for adoption by village boards. If you are a Village Justice, you can help promote this important legislation by reminding your Village Board to adopt this Resolution. Ulysses Town Board 5-13-80 page 3 WHEREAS: town and village courts hear and determine cases involving violations of state law, and WHEREAS: fines and penalties collected by such courts are paid to the state in recognition of the fact that such violations are state offenses, and WHEREAS: in recognition of the services provided by such local courts, the State of New York has provided in section 99-1 of the General Municipal Law that towns and rn villages shall be reimbursed for services rendered in such cases in the amount of $5.00 per case, and WHEREAS: the amount of $5.00 was originally set forth in the Code of Criminal Procedure, section 740-a, by Chapter ® 737 of the Laws of 1939, and has remained unchanged for the past 41 years, and WHEREAS: the per case costs of the operation of local courts have increased substantially since 1939 while no in- crease in reimbursement by the state to local govern- ments for court services has been granted, and WHEREAS: the net result is that the burden of the said additional cost of administering this state operation is borne by taxation of local real property rather than by general taxation, now THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED: that the Ulysses Town Board does hereby strongly urge the Legislature and the Governor to act favorably on pending legislation which would increase the amount returned to towns and villages to $15.00 instead of the present inadequate $5.00 limit as set by the present provisions of law (Senate 2397-A; Assembly 10900), and be it further RESOLVED: that copy of this resolution be forthwith forwarded to the Hon. Hugh L. Carey, Governor; Hon. Warren M. Anderson, President Pro Tern of the Senate; Hon. Manfred �• Ohrenstein, Senate Minority Leader; Hon. Stanley Fink, Speaker of the Assembly; Hon. Daniel B.

ULYSSES MEMORANDUM To: Ulysses Town Board From: A.J. Golder, Jr. Re: Games of Chance by Local Option Article 9 - A of the General Municipal Law permits the local legislative body of any municipality to provide, by local law or ordinance, that it shall be lawful far any authorized organization (defined as any bona fide religious, charitable, educational, fraternal, service, veterans or volunteer firemens organization) after obtaining a license, to conduct games of chance. "Games of Chance" are defined as including "merchandise wheels" and such other specific games as have been authorized by the New York State Racing and Wagering Board. No single prize can exceed $100 ($250 for a merchandise wheel) and no single wager can exceed $2.00. Whether a local law or ordinance, it is subject to a mandatory referendum at either a general or special election. Procedure if Local Option Exists: The New York State Wagering and Racing Board will provide forms for written appli- cations to be made to the Town Clerk for such a license, on each occasion when games of chance are proposed. A license period cannot exceed 14 hours. The clerk must then make an investiga- tion of the qualifications of each applicant, and the merits of each application. If the clerk decides that the applicant is qualified and that the members of the applicant designated in the application to manage the games of chance are active members, persons of good moral character, have never been convicted of a crime, etc. a license shall issue upon payment of a $25 fee. If the clerk shall deny such an application it must be after a hearing at which the applicant shall be entitled to be heard. The Town should designate the chief law enforcement officer of the county (the Sheriff) to exercise the control and supervision of the conduct of the games of chance required by law. Within seven (7) days from the conclusion of any license period the organization must file with the Town Clerk a statement affirmed under penalty of perjury showing the amount of gross receipts, each item of expense, with the name and address of each person to whom each item has been paid, and a detailed description of the goods or services provided, the net proceeds, and the use to which the proceeds will be applied. At that time an additional license fee, at a rate to be set by the New York State Wagering and Racing Board, is paid to the Town. May 13, 1980 Ulysses Town Board 5-13-80 page 4 5/ patched and swept roads as needed, picked up the roadside on RabbitRun, removed motor on Oshkosh and sprayed post and guiderails. In calling attention to rising oil prices he said the cost for a mile of road now is $15,213 and projected $21,700 per mile by May '81. He requested permission to attend Highway School at Cornell June 2-4, 1980 and Fall Conference September 23-26, 1980 at Stevensville Country Club. Mr. Agard moved, seconded by Mr. Smith, that Mr. Holtkamp be given permission to attend the Highway School and Fall Converence on dates stated, voted and unanimously carried. Mr. Cox reported issuing building permits during April for two new homes, one addition, one garage and one cattle barn at Fair- grounds. His office hours are 9-11 daily in the Town Hall and is ® finding Saturday the busiest. He wants the Township made aware of the meaning and purpose of zoning and that ordinances are available at the Town Clerk's office. Several zoning violations were mention- ed and Mr. Cox reminded that all complaints should be in writing. Mr. Garner asked what action or planned action had been taken re- garding Mr. Auble's letter read at the last Board meeting. Mr. Payne stated the Planning Board had the information and the Town Board had not heard a thing. Mr. Reitz called attention to the Scouts roadside pickup in April (the highway department picked up four loads of bagged trash) and asked a letter of appreciation be sent to the coordinator Larry Woodin. He will supply the Clerk with the address. Mr. Payne asked Mr. Holtkamp to comment on garbage being dumped at the Town Barn. Mr. Holtkamp noted there had been a problem of people coming in at night and dumping garbage. If this illegal dumping causes the dumping area to be closed it would necessitate long, expensive hauling to Seymour's Landfill. Mr. Payne noted the following correspondence had been received: a. NYS Energy Research & Development Authority, Albany re: US Dept. of Energy. b. Traveler's Insurance Engineering Div. re: loss control survey of Town Hall and Garage - survey indicates excellent standard of maintenance and housekeeping. c. Office of Sec. of Treasury re: Revenue Sharing 11th period - the current entitlement period is the last one authorized by the existing Revenue Sharing Legislation (ends 9-30-80). d.

Ough, Town Clerk II r Tlburg residents fight • By JOHN MAINES Journal Writer TRUMANSBURG — A local construction firm apparently wants to build a new P&C grocery store, just north of the village, which would be twice the size of the existing P&C on Main Street. However, residents near the site, which borders Seneca County off Route 96, say they will oppose any large-scale construction. They claim it will rob downtown Trumansburg of business and create "anoth- er Elmira Road strip," said one resident. The land involved, owned by contractor William Auble, is part of 50 acres of residentially -zoned land located less than a mile north of downtown Trumansburg on the Seneca County border, Zoning Officer Carl Cox said. Sketches submitted to the town board show two other stores might be constructed adja- cent to the proposed new P&C,making the project a "mini -mall." According to town records, a March 6 letter of inquiry from Auble to the town board asks what procedure must be followed to convert some of his land from residential zoning to a business district. In a March 15 reply, deputy town super- visor Robert Herrick said the matter would be turned over to the town's attorney, and that more information would be needed on Auble's Intentions. Except for verbal communications with town officials, no other steps have been taken by Auble since that time, Cox said. His March 6 letter did not specify how much land Auble seeks to have changed from residential to business, but Cox said Auble originally sought to have all 50 acres rezoned. Cox said he doubted that to be possible, however. The new supermarket would be about a mile north of the center of the village, near the intersection of Route 96 and Seneca Road. Auble, contacted earlier this week, said plans are not firm. "It's just talk," he said. "I'm in the business 'to do things, but I can't say that everything I want to do comes true. Saturday, May 3, 1980 ITHACA JOURNAL :1 proposed supermarket "Everybody's talking all over the place, but there's nothing happening yet," said Auble, lie declined to elaborate, but said a full- size supermarket and small shopping mall would be an asset to Trumansburg because it would save Trumansburg residents the drive Into Ithaca. Auble could not be reached Friday for comment on the town documents. According to a map submitted by Auble to the town, the P&C would have 24,000 square feet of floor space, parking for about 200 cars, and be contained on a five -acre site, The building now housing the present P&C and an adjoining Laundromat has 12,880 square -feet of space. P&C officials declined comment, Also shown on Auble's map is a proposed 12,000 -square foot drug store and 9,600 square feet of retail space. However, the map Indicates that those projects would come after the P&C building. Cox said a formal proposal would require that Auble apply for a a building permit, which would lead to public hearings, and consideration by the town planning board and the full board before construction could begin, , Cox said. Environmental reviews would probably be necessary as well, he said. Cox said he could see no technical snags in Auble's proposal to build, but spokesmen for about 15 residents living near the proposed site said they're planning to oppose construc- tion. Susan Perkins, whose home is across the street from the site, said the P&C would generate noise, garbage and traffic problems In an area presently unprotected by police. In addition, she said, if the P&C were to move out of the village it would inconvience people, particularly the elderly who could not easily walk to the store. A proposed elderly housing complex is within walking distance of the present P&C location, Perkins said. Further, "this could be the beginning of a large commercial district," Perkins said. "It would be an unsightly complex, located at the gateway to Tompkins County." Her husband, Richard Garner, questioned whether a business district is necessary north of the village when an undeveloped business district already exists at south, where Maguire Ford is located. Garner said he and 15 of his neighbors, who have formed a "community group" to pro- test Auble's plan, fear the move would devalue their land and be the beginning of a business district that would devore the resi- dential land between Auble's land and the village. "We'd hate to see it end up another Elmira Road strip," said Garner, who Is a member of the town's zoning appeals board. Garner said he feared downtown Trumansburg could not compete with a mall, and that businesses would suffer. He also said previous projects by Auble, including a trailer park located adjacent to the P&C site, have been eyesores and not meeting up to Initial promises. C ULYSSES YOUTH UNLIMITED January - March 1980 For the sprint semester, Leslie Aplin has been doing a full-time internship with us thro h Cornell. She has been involved in our regular program and has worked 0 -to -one with two teenage girls. We have had to referrals in the past three months, one from probation and one from the chools. One of. these has taken on a little sister and the other has betcontacted but hasn't yet become involved in any way. The Youth Em loyment Service experienced its usual winter slump. During January, Peb4sary, and March, we received only six calls for jobs. Four youths were hired atjd one job is still waiting to be filled. As a result cuf a meeting some of the teenagers had with Mrs. Brown, we are once again, permittjed to use the elementary gym on Wednesday nights with some changes in the rules.I Since we have returned, things have gone very smoothly -- everyone is tjaking the responsibility more seriously. We had two with four campsite. We visited One staff pc' have been ru program is d situations w; All of these Park, Hencoo to some moun overnight tr s in February. One was an overnight winter camping expedition a to Beam Hill near Dryden where the Ithaca Youth Bureau has a other was a four day trip to Philadelphia for four other youths. city and attended a Quaker meeting. • and two volunteers from the Ithaca Youth Bureau outing program g a regular weekly �roup with eight UYU young people. The ned.to give these teenagers experience in the outdoors in they must depend on each, other and work cohesively as a group. ings have taken place quite locally, including Taughannock 'eek, Coyglen, and Fall Creek. The group has been introduced L climbing techniques and to white water canoeing. Some are planned for warmer weather. Since the be inning of March, we've been keeping the office open on Friday This afternoons a well. is means that on Monday, Wednesday and Friday we are available in the office from 3 - 5:00 for teenagers to drop -in for an informal few hours. The other pi cc of news is that in June I will be leaving my job with UYU. Though my pl ns for the future are not certain, the time I have spent here with Trumansburg eenngers has been very enjoyable and satisfying. To those of you who have supported us in our efforts to bui'f$'this program, I am very grateful. W th the community and financial support wce have received, we have grown into a viable alternative for a segment of the youth population that is often ova looked.

Board members inspected claim vouchers as follows: General Fund Nos. Highway Fund Nos. Part Town Fund Nos. Mr. Herrick moved the claim by the Supervisor and also, Cortland Asphalt invoice in the next few days, from the of the discount. Mr. Smith ly carried. 131 through 152 $ 9345.03 75 through 86 7908.99 18 through 20 43.36 3, as submitted, be approved for payment the Supervisor be authorized to pay the the amount of $7476.00 expected within Highway Fund in order to take advantage seconded the motion, voted and unanimous - Representative James A. Mason reported on the following items of interest: A resolution was passed authorizing Frank Liguori to start the process for funding assistance on the Rural/Suburban Transporta- tion Demonstration Program. County Board members want the County to get started on the program - not waiting for funding. Ulysses is a prime candidate for the lease van system that will operate on a break-even,subscription basis. On May 27th a resolution was passed restricting the transporta- tion into and out of the County of high level radio active waste. It stopped short of an outright ban since officials have stated they would abide by local regulations and an outright ban is not apt to be upheld in the courts. The Local Advisory Board of Assessment Review met today from 1-8 at the Town Hall. About 12 requested review of their assessments. Assessors will follow up with response to property owners by mid - July. The last opportunity for review of assessment is Tuesday, June 17th. The hoped for relief from Albany in the form of 25% exemption to homeowners at 100% assessed valuation seems to be lost for this session. Funds were approved for snow and ice removal next year. Disposal of garbage in the Township will be a problem after 1-1-81. After that date it can not be transported into Town of Covert/ Seneca County. Mr. Mason again explained his position on the 1'% reduction in sales tax on fuels. To offset the loss of revenue it would cost •about 754t per thousand added to property tax and would end up costing more than the saving. Mr. Payne announced there would be a public hearing, probably in the High School Auditorium, on Mr. Auble's request for a new business district Tuesday, July 1st, 1980 at 7:30 p.m. The legal notice will appear in the newspaper giving location.

Mr. Holtkamp gave his May highway report noting they had put shim coat and cleaned ditches on Curry Road, picked up trash, patched roads, cleaned cemeteries and mowed all roads. As an Eagle Scout project David BuChner cleaned the Podunk Road Cemetery. Mr. Holtkamp asked Board approval to rent a Backhoe for two weeks at $1625.00 to do culvert on Garrett Road and ditches. In answer to a question from Mr. Mann regarding use of the Village backhoe it was pointed out the necessity of doing a 9' dig in one day and the Village equipment was too slow. Mr. Agard moved, seconded by Mr. Herrick, voted and carried, that approval be given for rental of a backhoe for two weeks at $1625.00. • Mr. Allen reported on meeting he attended with Mr. Holtkamp at the County Barns regarding The Energy Conservation Through Improved Transportation Bond Act.

Ough, Town Clerk w I • ULYSSES YOUTH UNLIMITED April - May 1980 During the first week in May, we hired Rick Frost to be the new coordinator for the U'i'U program. Rick officially began working on May 15, but in actuality, he started the day he was offered the job. During the one month overlap, Rick has gradually assumed responsibility for the entire operation, and by now, has a good idea of what we're all about. You'll be hearing from Rick in our June report, and after that, he'll resume the quarterly reporting. We had two big fund raisers in April and May. A spaghetti dinner at the Presbyterian Chapel on April 17 truned out to be a fantastic group project. We served 85 people and made nearly $200. Then, at the All -Sports Boosters Flea Market on May 24, we held an Auction of items donated by local merchants and services donated by some of our teenagers. Special thanks to all the people, businesses, and organizations who made both of these fund raisers so successful. In its now famous spring tradition, the Youth Employment Service boomed with the onset of warmer weather. 23 teenagers were hired as a result of 24 calls for jobs in the last two months, and two jobs remain unfilled as yet. There has also been an increase in the number of teenagers applying to the Y.E.S. to work. There was one Big Sister matched with a Little Sister in April, and in May, we lost one. Also, as of May 30, Judy McDonnell; who has worked with us for nearly two years, left us when her C.E.T.A. job expired. She has been offered a job working for C.E.T.A. in the Summer Work Training Program. UYU will miss her and all that she has contributed to us. THANKS JUDYI April 11-13, seven teenagers and two staff people spent a few days in the Black Forest in Central Pennsylvania, hiking a 15 mile loop trail with full packs and returning just a little bit weary. Then, on May 17, four teenagers, one staff person, and a volunteer drove up to Toronto to see a baseball game -- the Blue Jay's vs. the Oakland A's. It was a long trip, but thanks to Ricky and Wayne Gregoire -Cope for the use of their station wagon and for making the ticket arrangements for us. The regular Thursday outings have continued with some turnover in the group.

She asked the use variance to permit her husband, Marvin Cooper, tc, build and operate a garage on their 9 acres of property at the above address. Present at hearing: BZA members Adrienne VanDyk, Ferneley Bouchle, Merle Stillions and Richard Garner. Absent: Seville Reulein. Also present, Zoning Officer Thomas Ferretti, BZA secretary A. Beers, ® applicant Jaunita Cooper, Marvin Cooper, Arles Robinson, Mr. and Mrs. Howard Wykoff, Edward Szabo. Meeting called to order by acting chairman Adrienne VanDyk. Mrs. VanDyk asked the Coopers if they had additional information to present to the Board. Mrs. Cooper said the only information was a petition for a garage and body shop signed by fifteen of their neighbors. Mr. Garner pointed out that when a use variance is granted it remains in effect for that particular area from one owner to the next owner. Mrs. Robinson agreed with this. Mrs. Robinson also said s� had questioned the County Assessment office relative to the impact of panting a use variance would have on the tax exemption status of farmers in an Agricultural District. During the general discussion of the problem it was brought out that the granting of a use variance in this case would set a precedent in Board action for future requests of the same nature, and the Board indicated they wished to reach decisions which would be fair both to the applicant and to the applicant6 neighbors. Mr. Garner indicated his belief that a special permit would be more nearly the answer to the problem but ,that the Zoning Ordinance defini- tion of possible special permit uses did not cover garages and body shops. The Board then excused the applicants and guests so it could hold an executive session to prepare a resolution. Re -convening the meeting Mrs. VanDyk asked the secretary to read the proposed resolution: WHEREAS: Jaunita E. Cooper, residing at 524 Iradell Road in the Town of Ulysses (parcel No. 35.1-8) has asked for a use variance under Article II, Section 7, of the Town of Ulysses Zoning Ordinance to permit the ere ction of a garage structure for use as a body repair shop on the above premises, and WHEREAS: no pertinent additional information was submitted by the applicant, and WHEREAS: the applicant cannot meet the necessary three conditions listed under Article II, Section 7, of the Ordinance, and S WHEREAS: the application does not meet any of the listed exceptions under Article IV, Section 1, of the Ordinance, NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED: that the application be denied. Mr. Stillions moved the resolution be adopted, Mr. Garner seconded the motion. Voting as follows: Mrs. Bauchle - yes Mr. Garner - yea Mr. Stillions - yes Mrs VanDyk - yes Motion carried.

Golder, Jr. Re: Games of Chance by Local Option Article 9 - A of the General Municipal Law permits the local legislative body of any municipality to provide, by local law or ordinance, that it shall be lawful for any authorized organization (defined as any bona fide religious, charitable, educational, fraternal, service, veterans or volunteer firemens organization) after obtaining a license, to conduct games of chance. "Games of Chance" are defined as including "merchandise wheels" and such other specific games as have been authorized by the New York State Racing and Wagering Board. No single prize can exceed $100 ($250 for a merchandise wheel) and no single wager can exceed $2.00. Whether a local law or ordinance, it is subject to a mandatory referendum at either a general or special election. Procedure if Local Option Exists: The New York State Wagering and Racing Board will provide forms for written appli- cations to be made to the Town Clerk for such a license, on each occasion when games of chance are proposed. A license period cannot exceed 14 hours. The clerk must then make an investiga- tion of the qualifications of each applicant, and the merits of each application. If the clerk decides that the applicant is qualified and that the members of the applicant designated in the application to manage the games of chance are active members, persons of good moral character, have never been convicted of a crime, etc. a license shall issue upon payment of a $25 fee. If the clerk shall deny such an application it must be after a hearing at which the applicant shall be entitled to be heard. The Town should designate the chief law enforcement officer of the county (the Sheriff) to exercise the control and supervision of the conduct of the games of chance required by law. Within seven (7) days from the conclusion of any license period the organization must file with the Town Clerk a statement affirmed under penalty of perjury showing the amount of gross receipts, each item of expense, with the name and address of each person to whom each item has been paid, and a detailed description of the goods or services provided, the net proceeds, and the use to which the proceeds will be applied. At that time an additional license fee, at a rate to be set by the New York State Wagering and Racing Board, is paid to the Town. May 13, 1980 TOWN OF ULYSSES ZONING BOARD OF APPEALS PUBLIC HEARING 24 June 1980 PURPOSE OF HEARING: to consider application of Oscar Miller of 167 Perry City Road (Parcel No. 27-2.13, part of lot No. 25) for a use variance under Article II, Section 7, of the Town of Ulysses Zoning Ordinance I E I • 1 Time of hearing: 7:30 p.m. in Town Hall Mr. Merle Stillions, acting chairman of the Town Zoning Board of Appeals, called the hearing to order at 7:45 p.m. Because only he and Mrs. Ferneley Bauchle of the Appeals Board were present at that time, Mr. Stillions adjourned the hearing to 7:30 p.m., 30 June 1980. Mr. Miller, his attorney Mr. Leo Gangl, and Mr. Phillip B. Tichenor, to whom Mr. Miller wishes to rent garage space for use as an auto and truck repair shop, were so advised. Beers, sec. 30 June 1980 Adjourned hearing of 24 June 1980 to consider the application of Oscar Miller, as stated above, was re -convened by acting chairman Merle Stillions at 7:30 p.m. in the Town Hall. Present: BZA members: Mr. Stillions, Mr. Richard Garner, Mrs. Adrienne VanDyk, Mrs. Ferneley Bauchle; also Mr. Miller, Mr. Gangl, Edward Szabo, Town Zoning Officer Thomas Ferretti, secretary A. Beers. Absent; BZA member Seville Reulein. Mr. Stillions asked if any one had questions relative to the proposed rental of two bays of the existing 3 -bay garage structure to Mr. Tichenor for use as an automotive and truck repair shop. In answer to questions, Mr. Miller said the garage set back from the roadway 100 or more feet (the map attached to the application indicates 135 feet) that he and his wife live in the residence on the property, that he still has some equipment, such as a tractor, which he has up for sale, that no farm equipment would be repaired, that no tractor - trailers would be repaired, that no hydraulic lift would be installed. The 3 -bay garage was build 5 years ago, Mr. Miller said, and he used it for storage of equipment as well as for repair of personal vehicles and equi-.pment. He said his health had deteriorated and that he was no, longer able to do this work and that rental of the 2 bays would supplement his income. Asked about the length of the agreement Mr. Miller has with Mr. Tichenor, the Board was advised that rental would be on a year to year basis. When advised by Board members that the granting of a use variance would stay with the property in the event of sale, Mr. Gangl said his client realized this. The Board asked permission to retire for an executive session to draft a resolution. Reconvening the hearing, Mr. Stillions asked the secretary to read the draft of the resolution, as follows: WHEREAS: Mr. Oscal Miller of 167 Perry City Road, Trumansburg, New York, has asked for a use variance for his property (Parcel 27-2,13, part of lot No. 25) under Article II, Section 7, of the Town of Ulysses Zoning Ordinance, and TOWN OF ULYSSES ZONING BOARD OF APPEALS PUBLIC HEARING 24 June 1980 M PURPOSE OF HEARING: to consider request of Donald E and Jean I Ryan, owners of property on Pennsylvania Avenue, Trumansburg New York, (Parcel 12-1-1.1 consisting of two lots1 for an area variance under Article V. section 1, of the Town of Ulysses Zoning Ordinance.

After retiring for an executive session to draft a resolution, Mr. Stillions re -convened the hearing and asked the secretary to read the proposed resolution as follows: WHEREAS: Donald E. and Jean I.

Mr. Hohwald spoke regarding the Town Board request to D.O.T. about installation of 'no parking' signs on the west aide of Rte. 89 across from the Glenwood Pines Restaurant. He checked with previous owners and in the almost 30 years of operation there has never been a serious problem. (Dick Evans, son of former owner, reinforced Mr. Hohwald's statements.) Mr. Payne read his letter to Mr. Grout about the parking situation. A lengthy discussion followed during which Mrs. Ough read the 1-8-80 letter from Mr. C -out and the resolution passed by the BZA at their 8-14-79 hearing. Mr. Richar asked if Board could override BZA and Town Attorney Golder said they could as the BZA is purely advisory. Mr. Holtkamp asked decision be tabled for a month to allow possible cure of the situation. It was then announced the 'no parking' signs had been installed that day. Mr. Agard moved, seconded by Mr. Herrick that the following resolution be adopted: RESOLVED: the Ulysses Board of Zoning Appeals review all information on 'no parking' area the west side of Route 89, across from Glenwood Pines Res- taurant and submit recommendation to the Town Board.

Mr. Payne explained the purpose of appointing Mr. Carl Cox Temporary Zoning Officer (House Numbering Program). It will be a job title for payroll purposes only and suggested by the State. Mr. Smith moved, seconded by Mr. Agard, that Mr. Cox be appointed Temporary Zoning Officer. Voted and unanimously carried. Mr. Golder reported on the Games of Chance informational meeting held June 17th. If local law or ordinance is passed the only local event that would be legalized is the cake wheel - everything else would still be illegal. He explained procedure and it was noted the mandatory referendum would be less expensive if done at regular election time in November. A motion was made by Mr. Agard, seconded by Mr. Allen, voted and carried unanimously, that action be tabled. Mr. Payne noted, relative to lighting at Fairgrounds, the Fair Board must request the Town Board consider lights at the Fairground entrance. In anticipation of this request NYSE&G has been asked to submit design and estimate on cost. Mrs. Ough reported on licenses issued in June (on file in Super- visor's office). She read attached letter from Mr. Grout and asked the Board to consider adoption of a resolution at their next meeting on records disposition - information was given each Board member. Mr. Ferretti gave his zoning report for June - copy attached. • Mr. Holtkamp reported June activities of the Highway Department and noted they had cleaned ditches and shoulders on Curry Road, mowed roads, cut brush as needed, replaced culvert on Garrett and cleaned ditches, removed stumps on Garrett and Glenwood Heights Roads. He requested a meeting with the Highway Committee prior to August Board meeting regarding budget. He mentioned David Linn's accident and said they would try working without him for the present. Mr. Szabo spoke about the zoning sign that had been down two or three years at Iradell and Podunk Roads - it has been reset showing Enfield zoned. Mr. Warren spoke of the Planning Board reaching agreement on Stover. Copy of letter to Board members attached. Mr. Payne said a public hearing would be set after the information is gone over. There being no further comments or business Mr. Smith moved the meeting adjourn at 9:15 p.m., seconded by Mr. Allen, voted and carried. Marilyn E. Ough, Town Clerk Statement of Adrienne VanDyk, member of Town of Ulysses Zonirg Board of Appeals: I would like to read a statement regarding the possible expansion of permitted occupations;in the Town of Ulysses. Because of a growing number of requests for variances to permit occupations not permitted in residential/agricultural districts in the Town of Ulysses, namely automotive repair shops, the Zoning Board of Appeals felt it was its duty to bring these requests to the attention of the Town Board as it might wish to consider re- vising the Zoning Ordinance as it pertains to the issuance of "special permits" in these districts. It should be pointed out that the ZBA did not take a stand on the matter; it simply brought it to this Board's attention. I am here before the Board as a private citizen not as a member of the ZBA, to express my concern over the possibility of permitting automotive repair shops of any sort, whether for body repair or simply for mechanical repairs, to operate anywhere except in a zoned commercial area. I asKthe Town Board to consider very seriously not permitting any change in the present Ordinance as it pertains to automotive repair shops for these reasons: I believe property values in the area of a repair shop would be adversely affected, and Adjacent property owners would find the comfort and enjoyment of their property impaired, In granting a special permit, the ZBA may impose conditions for the protection of the neighborhood and the public interest. However, setting conditions and enforcing their compliance are two different things and we have many examples of this in Ulysses. Thank you for the opportunity to address the Board.

Respectfully,` Thomas L Ferretti Zonning Officer July 8, 1980 TO: Ulysses Town Board FROM: Ulysses Planning Board RE: Stover proposal for Planned Development District The Ulysses Planning Board, having considered the community need for the proposed Planned Development District and the effect of this District on the character and natural features of the neigh- borhood has RESOLVED: that the Ulysses Planning Board recommends that the proposed District, as specified in the sub- mitted proposal and appended Map and Map Code, be approved with the following amendments: 1) that any access road or driveway shall enter the public highway more than 75 ft. from the boundry of the proposed District, and, 2) that saw logs, lumber, and wood by-products be placed more than 75 ft. from the boundry of the proposed District, and, 3) that trees be planted continuously along that portion of the western boundry of the proposed District between Gorge Road and the NYSE&G right- of-way as a visual screen, to the specifications of a knowledgeable agency such as Cooperative Extension Association, and, 4) that an enclosed power source, to be used as sole power source for the sawing of logs, be lo- cated to the east of the sawmill and that it be operational within twelve months from the date of approval of the proposed District, and, 5) that a temporary barrier be erected to the west of the present power source for the sawmill, as suggested in the letter to Mr. Stover from L. Dale Baker, Cooperative Extension Engineer, dated April 4, 1980, and, 6) that the sawing of logs be limited to between the hours of 7 A.M. and 7 P.M. Local Time, and, 7) that the chemicals used for the preservative treatment of lumber be handled in accordance with any Federal, State, and Local regulations which may apply and that there be no discharge of haz- ardous chemicals to the environment, and, 8) that the retail sale of farm machinery and equipment be incidental to other uses of the pro- posed District, such as the sale of seed, fertil- izer, lumber, wood by-products, and agricultural products, and that no sales personnel be employed for the sale of such machinery and equipment. The Planning Board feels that these modifications are acceptable to Mr. Stover. Ulysses Town Board Page 2 July 8, 1980 The Planning Board notes that on page 5A, Item 3 of the Stover proposal reference to the "...building on the south side of Gorge Road, ..." is in error. The word 'north' should be substituted for 'south', as agreed to by Mr. Stover. JPW:mo cc: Walter Wiggins, Attorney for Stover Martin Luster, Attorney for Gill ULYSSES TOWN BOARD PUBLIC HEARING July 1, 1980 PURPOSE OF THE HEARING: to consider proposed amendment to the Zoning Ordinance, at the request of William Auble, to create an additional Business District. Supervisor Bruce M. Payne called the Public Hearing to order at 7:30 p.m. in the Auditorium of the Charles O. Dickerson High School. Other Town Officials present: Councilmen William Agard, J. Frederick Allen, Robert C. Herrick, H. William Smith, Town Attorney Arthur J. Golder, Jr., Town Clerk Marilyn E. Ough. There was an unofficial count of 215 persons in the auditorium. Mrs. Ough read the legal notice of the public hearing as it appeared in the Ithaca Journal and Free Press. Mr. Payne made the following opening comments: This Public Hearing, according to the Town Law, is being held at the request of a taxpayer who wishes to amend the Zoning Ordinance for the formation of a Business District in the Town of Ulysses. The Town Board is here to listen - the Councilmen will answer no questions; also, this is not a debate. Nine persons have asked to speak relative to the proposed Business District. They will each identify themselves when they give their statement. The same holds true for anyone present who wishes to speak. He invited those speaking to use the lectern and microphone provided. Mr. Payne asked Mr. Auble to proceed with the presentation of his plans. Mr. Auble introduced himself and in turn introduced Attorney Richard Thaler. Mr. Thaler stated the proposed amendment to the Zoning Ordinance would permit the building of a new supermarket for the P&C. P&C can not economically operate a store of less than 20,000 sq. ft. (The present store being 7,000 sq. ft. and the proposed new store is 22,000 sq. ft.) The selection of the site was based on a feasibility study showing it was not economical to locate south of the Village of Trumansburg only north of the Village in Tompkins County. Mr. Thaler then introduced Mr. David Norcross, Real Estate Representative for P&C Food Markets, Inc. Mr. Norcross displayed the site plan with parking for 197 cars and elevation showing what proposed building would look like - noting the design was broken up with shrubbery making it appealing to look at. He said it would be a substantial improvement over the present structure which is considered ancient by supermarket standards. There would be two accesses off Route 96 and access off Seneca Road with plans to landscape adjacent areas as much as possible. Probably a 12,000 sq. ft. drug store will be included with the supermarket in the first phase of building with additional shops later. Mr. Thaler spoke of the economics - the cost of developing, the increased sales tax revenues and expected yield about three times higher than present. Jeff Weiss: noting that the figures showed there would be more customers he asked where the customers would come from. Mr. Norcross: P&C did a market study and found more than half come from the north or west of Tompkins County. Don Ryan: Is there an alternate use of present P&C market? Mr. Norcross: Premature to have anything planned but to be assured a sub -tenant would be actively sought. They would not want to pay rent and keep the store empty. Ruth Kahn: How long the P&C lease had to run? Mr. Thaler: 1991 Ruth Kahn: The success of the new store depends on the demand locally - we are not asking for the type of store you are going to give us. Mr. Thaler: repeated the present store is not an economical operation. Harold McGill: How many new employees would there be? Mr. Norcross: 40 now with 75 to 100 projected for the new store. Pat Lewis: expressed concern over the loss of tax revenue in the Village and asked if there were any other developers involved besides P&C and Auble? 176 el 1 TOWN OF ULYSSES Trumansburg, N.Y. 14886 607-387-8601 LEGAL NOTICE NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that a public hearing will be held on July 1, 1980 at 7:30 P.M. in the eve- ning at the Charles O.

Dear Mrs. Ough: This will acknowledge the receipt of the above proposal for review under Sedition 239-m. Under the provisions of the law, the Tompkins County Planning Department has thirty days to review and submit a recommendation. However, the material sent to us is not sufficient to allow us to carry out our respon- sibility in this case. The intent of the State law with which we must comply is that the following concerns be considered, as appropriate: (1) Compatibility of various land uses with one another; (2) Traffic generating characteristics of various land uses in relation to the effect of such traffic on other land uses and to the adequacy of existing and proposed thoroughfare facilities; (.3) Impact of proposed land uses on existing and proposed county or state institutional or other uses; (4) Protection of community character as regards predominant land uses, population density, and relation between residential and nonresiden- tial areas; (5) Community appearance; (6) Drainage; (.7) Community facilities; (8) Official development policies, municipal and county, as may be expressed through comprehensive plans, capital prograus, or regula- tory measures; and 128 East Buffalo Street, Ithaca, New York Telephone (607) 274'5286/274• 5287 Marilyn Ough Page 2 June 25, 1980 (9) Such other matters as may relate to the public convenience, to govern- mental efficiency, and to the achieving and maintaining of a satis- factory community environment. We will be happy to discuss with you and the developer the particular types of information relating to these concerns that we need to make our recom- mendation. We look forward to receiving the needed information from you and will give it our prompt attention at.that .time. Gary Evans of our staff will, attend the public hearing scheduled for July 1, 1960.

LI Sincerely, in Garner SG:sep c PROPOSED AMENDMENT TO THE ZONING ORDINANCE OF THE TOWN OF ULYSSES, TOMPKINS COUNTY RESOLVED, that the Zoning Ordinance of the Town of Ulysses be and the same hereby is amended to add Section 4 to Article III thereof as follows: "Section 4. The 'Zoning Map, Town of Ulysses, Tompkins County, New York', made by T.G. Miller, Engineer, dated September 12, 1972 as thereafter revised, shall be further revised to show an additional Business District located as described herein: 'All that tract or parcel of land situate in Lot #1 & #2 of the Town of Ulysses, County of Tompkins and State of New York, being bounded and described as follows: Beginning at a point in the centerline of Trumansburg Road located Southeasterly a distance of 316.59 feet, measured along said centerline, from the intersection of said centerline with the centerline of Seneca Road; thence running S29° -20'E along the centerline of Trumansburg Road a distance of 22.54 feet to an angle point; thence running 530° -01'E along said center- line a distance of 350.40 feet to an angle point; thence running S34° -38'E along said centerline a distance of 138.33 feet to a point; thence running S47° -49'W along the Northerly line of lands of Robinson (R.O.) a distance of 382.02 feet to a point; thence running S40° -45'E along the Westerly line of said Robinson (R.O.) a distance of 125.0 feet to a point; thence running S74° -57'W across lands of grantors a distance of 1033.12 feet to a point in the West line of the grantors; thence running N02° -24'E along said West line a distance of 1316.57 feet to a point in the centerline of Seneca Road; thence running S86° -22'E along said center- line a distance of 448.17 feet to a point; thence running 609° -22'W along the West line of lands of Conklin (R.O.) and Lamoreaux- Quinn Service Corporation (R.O.) a distance of 313.70 feet to a point; thence running N88° -22'E a distance of 406.31 feet to the place of beginning and containing 21.95 acres of land, more or less.' " Ulysses Town Board Public Hearing 7-1-80 page 2 Mr. Norcross: No other developers and the present owner of the P&C building would still get rent and taxes would be paid. Inez Pugh: Who would cover the proposed new site with fire and police r protection? Mr. Thaler: That is a governmental problem. Marcia Dimick: Not a question of whether we need a new P&C but if we want a new commercial district. In the proposed amendment to the Zoning Ordinance no reference is made to P&C. She then read a pre- pared statement (copy attached) outlining the track record of the proposed developer and the Town's dealings with him. She challenged the Town Board to listen to what the people are saying and make a decision based on what is best for all of the people in the Town of Ulysses. ® Mr. Blake: Will workers in new store be represented by the present union? Mr. Norcross: Yes. Don Dimick: Proposed amendment just tells boundries of the business area - how does this tie in with what is said will be built? He asked Mr. Luster to elaborate further. Mr. Luster: Introduced himself as representing the Dimicks, Garners and other neighbors. He pointed out the proposed amendment does not mention anything but changing the zoning therefore the area would not be restricted to P&C or drug store. The developer could put in any- thing he wants - listed some examples. He compared the procedural safeguards in the Town Zoning Ordinance for a Development District versus the lack of safeguards in the proposed zoning change. From those officially notified of this hearing only the Tompkins County Planning Board has answered, stating they needed more information before making a recommendation. He suggested the Board should wait to hold a public hearing until after Town and County Planning Boards ti are heard from and urged adjournment. Mr. Thaler: Mr. Auble has been in touch with Tompkins County Planning Board. Ali the information they need was not immediately available but will be given them. The other points Mr. Luster brought up are between the townspeople and the Board. Millie Tubbs: Speaking as a business person - any proposed business expansion should be restricted to present area zoned for commercial use. Against having commerce plunked in midst of residential area. Wants to see business grow and expand but in appropriate location for everyones good and investment going to improve business core not leaving it to decay and misuse. She questioned the ability to find a drug store for the first building phase since it is common knowledge Pneumo owns Carl's Drugs. Mr. Norcross: Owns, yes but managed separately. Mrs. Pugh: Would like the P&C kept downtown. The Senior Citizen Housing site was chosen because of its proximity to the store. Don Ran: At time site was chosen this was true but since there is another downtown store. Mimi Hardy: Addressed her concern towards the problem of traffic hazards with the increased flow of traffic in residential and fire- house area - also police protection since the proposed district is outside the Village. (copy attached) Mr. Reverby: Attorney with offices on Main Street. Reviewed what had been previously said. The P&C will build or close - what then - can present store be expanded? Mr. Thaler: No room at present site. Stated he did not say present P&C would close only that it was not economically feasible to operate that size store. Arles Robinson: asked for a ruling by the Town Attorney on whether this was a legal hearing when there is nothing from Town Planning Board. Mr. Golder: It is a legal hearing. All areas will be heard from if they wish to submit recommendations to the Town Board. This hearing is the opportunity for the public to make their thoughts known to the Town Board. The Town Board will not make the decision tonight on proposed amendment to the Zoning Ordinance. Susan Garner: asked denial of amendment. (copy attached) The land in midst of well established residential district and Zoning Ordinance July 1, 1980 Town of Ulysses Public Hearing regarding the proposed Zoning Ordinance amendment to create a commercial district on Trumansburg Road and Seneca Road. Mr. Payne, members of the Town Board and citizens of Ulysses and neighboring tow•wns: My name is Marcia Dimick and I reside at 2285 Trumansburg Road, in the town of Ulysses. As a citizen and taxnayer of the town, I would like to bring to your attention the track record of the pro- posed developer and your dealings with him. Thirteen years ago the town board approved a commercial zone adjacent to Rt. 96 east of the fairgrounds and Smith woods. In 13 years there are only 3 commercial enterprizes in this whole area, one of them being Auble Construction Co. I don't think there is a person in this room -dho isn't aware of what that equipment lot looks like most of the time. Ten years ago, in August of 1970, Mr. Auble applied to the town board for a permit to build a trailer nark on Townline Road, after already installing water and sewer lines to Seneca County side. In December of 1970 the town board ( Mr. Allen you were a member of that board) approved a 39 unit trailer park to be built in com- pliance with zoning regulations and the County Planning Board recommendation. At the public hearing preceding this decision, Mr. Auble ,signed and okayed a plan submitted by the County Planner. On Nov. 22, 1977, another public hearing was held to extend the trailer park on Townline Road by 108 units to a total Of 11,7. I attended that hearing as did everyone of you, then members of the town hoard. I requested that you ask Mr. Auble to bring the current park into compliance with, zoning regulations before extending his permit. On Dec. 13, 1977 you passed unanimously on the request and informed me that the zoning officer was doing her best. As of today, July 1, 1980, the trailer park has never been in compliance with the Town of Ulysses Zoning Ordinance, especially in the areas of walkways, lighting and recreation areas. In addition the recommendations and plan of the County Planning Board have been totally ignored. It's a new decade, a new year, and a new development but td the story and characters are still the same. Can we expect any- thing different from the past? sr. «�C/1•f .�u�.l,"Y� %� ra I sincerely believe the -town board has been grossly negligent in enforcing the town zoning regulations and in particular toward the Auble Construction Co. Zoning officers have come and gone with some degree of regularity over the past several years. I have listened to past and present zoning officers confront each other at town board meetings; but you don't seem to get the message! Only you the members of the town board can act on the recommendations of the zoning officer. It is your responr.ibility to enforce these zoning laws that you have enacted. You have to back the zoning laws and the zoning officer or his job is futile and the large sums of money we spent on zoning are for naught. Our neighbors to the North in the Town of Covert are considering limited zoning. They are looking to you for assurance that it works. Zoning is supposed to protect all the property owners, not just one, and not just the ones with enough money to fight it. (Personally I don't think zoning is working here) Mr. Payne, Mr. Herrick, Mr. Allen, Mr. Agard, and Mr. Smith; You were not elected to your positions by any one man, regardless of his name or influence. You were elected by all the neople in the beautiful town of Ulysses. I am here tonight, Mr. Payne and members of the town board, to challenge each of you to listen to what these people have to say. Answer their questions, and only when you've given fair consideration to the issues, make your r.. decision based on what is best for all of the people in the town of Ulysses. To paraphrase the words of a great American; Ask not what your town can do for you but what you can do for your town.

Ulysses Town Board Public Hearing 7-1-80 page 3 requires consideration of exsisting character of neighborhood. Any mall outside Village would be counterproductive to growth and develop- ment of downtown Trumansburg. Harrison Raymond Jr_: questioned: who was financing project? What contractor build project? How much more traffic on Seneca Road - children play on road because no recreation facilities in trailer park. Do we really need a bigger P&C? They say present store is not economical - it just needs better management. Mr. Norcross: Present store is outdated. They looked closely at expansion but it was not possible. He said the contractor was Mr. Auble. Barbara Sievers: Considers present P&C an eyesore - never so much as planted a flower so how can we believe it would be different in future? Mr. Dimick: Disputed the present store only 7,000 sq. ft. - more like 12,000. Emma Lou Shiekh: Does P&C finance own building or rent from others? Mr. Norcross: They do both - about 80% lease and 20% own. Laura Shiekh (daughter): What will new P&C have different from present store? Mr. Norcross: Wider variety of items - same as larger markets in Ithaca. Mr. Garner: (copy of full statement attached) The question is not whetherC moves in but a zoning change from residential to business. Proposed amendment creates open ended business district. Not ready for a Mall and give up on the Village. As a member of the Board of Zoning Appeals each application is judged on how it would affect the neighbor- hood - if it does, the application is denied. He felt there was a lack of sufficient studies in several areas - effect on the Village, sewage, traffic, litter. Mr. Norcross: Development is not a shopping mall but a strip shopping center - not on the magnitude of Ithaca. As to the effect on the community - more business' will stay in the area. Gene Enders: Wanted to know order of procedure after this hearing. Mr. Payne: The minutes of this meeting will be distributed to the Councilmen and at a future Board meeting they will vote yes or no on proposed amendment to Zoning Ordinance. This is a hearing to tell us how to vote. There are still others to be heard from - like the Tompkins County Planning Board. Edna Newell: recounted tale of family that entered north end of Village and decided this was where they wanted to settle. Mr. Luster: Mrs. Netall was 100% accurate - that was his family four years ago. He stated it was more sense holding a public hearing after all the information was in on proposed business district and the public had access to all this information before a decision is made. Barrent Rice: not old enough to vote (10) but as a resident of Trumansburg hoped he could be heard. He objected to the increase in cars, pollution and problems of money and kids of Trumansburg. Warren Hickman: recalled hometown of Eden, New York - a once desirable area to live in. He returned last week to a Village that did not adhere to their Zoning Ordinance. Downtown is 1/3 vacant. If we ® develop in residential section he foresaw it expanding towards Interlaken. People will shop here but live elsewhere. He mentioned the turning down of American Legion and Babcock Hatchery. If this business district is allowed on Main Street why not Pennsylvania Avenue or Cayuga Street. The precedent would be set resulting in more business, no local customers, no local residents. James Stevenson: clarified the proposed business district was all located in the Town. Mark Carver: looks with skepticism at proposed change. Eleanor Robinson: has looked at gas tanks - Ehrharts and Lamoreaux- Quinn for many years. Mr. Payne: They were there before the Zoning Ordinance therefore are Non -Conforming Use. Mrs. Robinson: (Arles) Yes, non -conforming and there before houses were built. Residents should have realized a business district would he proposed sometime in the future.

"I don't want to pay for police protection in a shopping mall I don't want," Hardy said. •yusan Garner said the complex i"also would create problems of in- creased littering, noise, and possibly loiterers. IaVilyn E. Ough, Town Clerk n The proposed plan drew criticism, not only for its provisions, but for the manner in which it was presented and received by the board. Martin A. Luster, an attorney practicing out of Trumansburg and a resident of Ulysses who represents the Dimicks and several other resi- dents on the matter, attacked the board for "putting the cart before the horse." He criticized the scheduling of the market is highly competitive. Fooa store chains have two options with ® small stores: expand them or close them to "cut loses." The present lot, he said, is too small for expansion. Following the hearing, Norcross refused to comment on whether P&C would close its operation in Trumansburg if it could not build another store. "Basically, what we're trying to do is to provide a better place for people, to shop in Trumansburg and make it more economical for us," Norcross added. Payne said it could be as late as fall before the board reaches a de- cision about the proposed plan. He said the planS will go .►o the Ulyssess planning committee along with suggestions from the villages, towns, and counties before it is re- fered again to the full town board. Another public hearing, Payne said, also is a possiblity. "All we heard is the negative aide today. There a quite a few in favor of it," Payne said, referring to calls he said he'd received prior to the meeting, hearing before recommendations from Tompkins and Seneca counties, the Village of Trumansburg, and the adjoining Town of Covert were re- ce ved, and before the plans which he called "superficial, transparent and flimsy," were examined by the town planning board. He also criticized the proposed amendment which seeks the creation of a commercial district rather than the approval of a specific develop- ment, calling it a "blank check to Auble." Town Supervisor Bruce M. Payne said the purpose of the hearing was to give townspeople an opportunity to speak on the proposed zonini amendment. "Many people are assuming that the town board will make a decision tonight. It's not," Payne said. "We can have as many hearings as you want." After some brief introductory re- marks about the plan, Auble turned the bulk of the presentation over to Norcross and Auble's attorney, Rich- ard Thaler of Thaler and Thaler. Norcross said the present 7,000 - square -foot building housing the P&C supermarket in the village is "an- cient by supermarket standards" and is not economically feasible to run. He said the average minimum size for a new supermarket in the In- dustry is 20,000 square feet. The proposed building is for 22,000 square feet of retail space. The proposed drug store would have 12,000 square feetAnd Auble has indicated that he might' develop an additional 6,400 square feet of retail space. Norcross said that the food store CRISIS IN TRUMANSBURG Stop the proposed Business District.

BUT, tonight about 200 people of this area sat through a public hearing regarding a change of zoning in the Town of Ulysses. Now this town board had to sit through several very eloquent speakers, a few lawyers with legal opin• Ions, some related to the hearing, most not, a few very concerned residents that will be surely affected if the Town Board does grant the change of zoning as they have been asked to do by the property owner. I think in all fairness to • all residents and non-residents of the Town of Ulysses, all of the property owners affected either built, bought or inherited their property in the neighborhood with a least five commercial businesses already in progress at the time they arrived; some of them have also been very much against the mobile home park in the area when it started and sometime since Mr. ,•6, croak, leaving their carcasses to be eaten by an unfortunate scavenger or to even- tual decay. Similarly (and don't think I'm gilding the lily -pad) we are faced with thousands of buildings which last about 15 years and become outdated, Not only buildings, but cars and weapons seem also to fall the test of time. Our own high school, a mere 20 years old, Is being held together with bandaids, while, on a larger scale, the government is constantly updating its weapons systems despite the fact that the current arsenal can reduce the planet to ash. mean end of town Auble has been before the town board requesting changes, and to my knowl- edge, most of their predictions have not come to pass. Maybe this new request by Mr. Auble won't mean the end of area, nor the demise of the village, which they have predicted tonight. As for the, concern for fire and police protection: our very competent and equipped fire department will handle it as they have in the past without a second thought about it. I am sure the officers have already started thinking about a pre- plan for the area If It comes to be. About the police department: the vil- lage police department is also very famil- iar with most of the Town of Ulysses, as well as part of Schuyler County and the the new and novel things fail miserably. The Fingerlakes Mall in Auburn failed even to generate a crowd for a matinee of "The Empire Strikes Back." When peo- ple realize that what is new is not necessarily different or even better, what was a novelty becomes something that we can live with or, in most cases, without. On Route 89, somewhere between Ithaca and Waterloo, sits the tiny village of Canoga. They have a shopping center which recently underwent expansion. The tiny store (smaller than a gas station at least) had added to its front a diner. If expansion is at work in Canoga at a small scale, it will inevitably be on a larger scale in Ulysees. Incldently, the d:aer Is incredibly ugly. r vi' 1 Town of Covert — all paid by the tax- payers of the village without any cost to the town residents, so do not worry folk, they will be able to handle it also.

People who are selling their home to leave thecommunity should count their blessings and re -think the issue. Close to shopping is an asset. Buying a home next to gas tanks on two, sides is not. The trailer park where it's done is attractive. Many people who were against the trailer park now reside there happily. There is no comparison between farm land and a trailer park in tax revenue, for school, state and county. We need a new P & C. A shoe store and a small department store wouldn't do any harm. Competetion. is healthy. Satisfied customers always return, so merchants in the village need not worry. Too many customers is one of P & C's problems. Fifty two acres of farm land next to five businesses on Main Street should never have been zoned residential. What will we do if P & C decides to close the store? Let's play it safe and have a new modern store --Some of us are interested in conserving gas --it is too far to go to Ithaca for groceries. We urge you to voice your opinion! If you can't speak in public, write - if you can't write - call a member of the Town Board or your Town Clerk. Lets everyone have a voice in this issue! A few residents of Ulysses �rNNysao�� r a -Po Iow is all this talk about frogs, schools, and bombs relevant, you may ask, and how does it fit together? The answer lies In the fact that shopping centers have all the bad characteristics of each. Like a frog's eggs, there are too many; like the school, they can't last forever; and like bombs, they are forever being replaced by newer models of the same thing. Trumansburg's current P&C, in con- trast to the lovely Greek Revival churches and Victorian homes in the town, is an eyesore. Why create anothet{ eyesore instead of renovating the one we have? One functioning store, however ugly, is better than the same amount of service and twice the ugliness. When Lansing opened its doors to the Triphammer Mall, it cleared the whole I area for more expansion. They ended up with the Cayuga Mall, Pyramid Mall, and the original Triphammer Mall. Mon taigne tells us wisely that "the fruits of i public commotion are seldom enjoyed by him who was the first motor;" certainly neither Triphammer Mall nor the Town of I Lansing are the big winners In the deal. Would the initial developers of a Trumansburg business (or is it 'planned development') district be any more likely to reap the greater share of success (if Indeed the district were successfuli? ,. Downtown Trumansburg would definitly be a loser with a west -end shopping center as competition. As It stands, down - I' wady, doe.: rompxins County, home of Taughannock Fals, Cayuga Lake, and Innumerable natural treasures which make it such a lovely and captivating vacation spot, want to have at its doorstep a shopping center which can do nothing but make visitors see that all is not well in Paradise? I may be exaggerat- ing, but a shopping center certainly will not give visitors a good first impression. Montaigne again tells us that "men are Justly punished for being obstinate in the defense of a fort that Is not in reason'to be defended. "Why fight to have built a shopping center that is no more necessary or lasting than a frog? Trumansburg has a bank, a drug store, and a grocery store. What is more, it has charm, individuality, and unity. If we build a shopping center, may not our loss exceed our gain? Robert B. Hardy III Trumansburg T -burg residents protest proposal for supermarket By DON ROSS Journal Writer TRUMANSBURG — About 20 peo- ple Tuesday night voiced vigorous opposition to a local developers pro- posal to build a new P&C super- market complex just north of the village, They were among the more than 150 people who turned out for a zoning hearing in the Trumansburg High School auditorium. The hearing centered on developer William Auble's request that the board amend the zoning ordinance to create an additional business district on 21.95 acres adjacent to the Lamoreaux Service Corp. at the junction of Route 96 and Seneca Road. A representative of P&C super- markets said the new store would provide better service, provide sales tax revenue for the village and create 75 to 100 jobs. Opponents countered that the ben- efits of a new store, revenue and jobs were outweighed by problems they said were be likely to arise. Marcia Dimick, who with her hus- band Donald owns a house at 2285 Trumansburg Road — directly across from the proposed site — questioned Auble's record as a de- veloper. She claimed Auble's trailer park on Townline Road "has never been in compliance with the Town of Ulysses zoning ordinances, especially in the areas of walkways, lighting and rec- reation areas. "The town board has been grossly negligent in enforcing the town zon- ing regulations and in particular the Auble Construction Company," Dimick said. The P&C representative, David Norcross, said an adjoining drug store and additional retail space have been proposed with the super- market. "It's going to destroy the neighbor. hood," said Richard Garner, who with his wife Susan also live across from the proposed site. "We're not ready for a mall," he said. "It's going to disturb the community." Norcross said the proposed com- plex "is not a mall. It is a strip of shops." Mimi Hardy said site was con. cerned about the increased flow of traffic she said would result from the development, with its 197 -space parking lot. She said the traffic could obstruct Continued on Page 12 It ` u o( Trumansburg NEW YORK 14886 Two Miles To Taughaonock Falls 215 Feet High June 30, 1980 FROM: James Vorp, Public Safety Commissioner TO: Town Board of Ulysses SUBJECT: Opposition to Proposed New Business District I regret that I am unable to attend the Public Hearing on July 1 concerning the proposed business district adjacent to the Lamoreaux-Quinn Service Corporation.

Payne. Others present: Councilmen William Agard, J. Frederick Allen, Robert C. Herrick, H. William Smith. Also present: Representative James A. Mason, Town Attorney Arthur J.

Board members inspected claim vouchers as follows: General Fund Nos. 173 through 201 $8236.64 Highway Fund Nos. 101 through 111 3901.91 Part Town Nos. 27 through 34 175.92 Mr. Agard moved the claims, as submitted, be approved for payment by the Supervisor. Mr. Smith seconded the motion, voted and unanimously carried. Representative James Mason reported noting the County Board of Rep- resentatives meet once a month during July and August. On July 21st they held four Public Hearings. Three were on renewal of contracts with airlines serving Tompkins County Airport. All were renewed with agreement on landing fees. The fourth hearing was on the increase of income level for Real Property Tax Exemption from $8800 to $9200. This was passed, effective immediately to meet the August 1st appli- cation filing deadline. The Trumansburg Free Press was designated one of the two official newspapers for the County. There was some discussion of the Board taking immediate steps on the transportation plan for the County. This would necessitate use of local tax dollars since it will take several months before there would be action on the Federal grant. Brought up at the Village Board meeting was the substantial increase in the cost of rubbish removal if Seymours is closed to us on January 1st. Transporting to the nearest disposal site would increase Village taxes about 33p per thousand. The County is exploring the possibility of using the old Tompkins County Hospital plant utilizing the existing stack - generating steam and some electricity. The Village passed a resolution encouraging the County's endeavors towards a solution. The Town will also be affected causing additional burden on other sites presently in use. Mr. Cox, Chairman of the House Numbering Committee, introduced the other members of the Committee - Nancy MacCarrick and Jim Stevenson. Mrs. MacCarrick stressed the importance of informing the townspeople and requested approval of a letter she read (copy attached) to be published in the Free Press, Ithaca Journal and Pennysaver.

Adopted Mr. Agard Aye Mr. Allen Aye Mr. Smith Aye Mr. Payne Aye The Public Hearing on the proposed Stover Development District was set for Tuesday, October 7, 1980 at 7:30 P.M. James E. Rice, Jr., as a member of the County Board of Health, addressed a problem in the Town of Ulysses. For many years people have been taking water from a spring that outlets into a horse trough on DuBois Road. The Health Department takes a sample and tests the water once a month. For the last two years the water has not met health standards and signs to warn of this are soon removed. They even tried bending the pipe but people still insist on using the water. The answer seems to be to offer a alternate, safe, water O source. There has not been an answer yet to a letter Dr. Schmidt has written to Social Services Commissioner Robert Wagner regarding the possibility of establishing an all weather water outlet at the County Home so people could fill containers. Another possibility is the Town Barns. Discussion followed, after ascertaining there was a adequate water supply at the Town Barns, regarding purifying present spring and ramifications of same. Mr. Mason, as a member of County Planning and Public Works Committee, felt there was a way to resolve this and saw less of a problem with the County providing water at the County Home. Mrs. Beers read Mr. Ferretti's zoning report for August (copy attached) and also her report on Human Services Coalition meetings she has attended (copy attached). Mr. Holtkamp reported Highway Department activities for August noting they had hauled concrete in washout on Frontenac; dug out ditches on Maplewood; installed two 15" driveway pipes on Garrett; patched roads as needed; hauled stone for Seneca and Cold Springs Roads; paved Seneca, Cold Springs and Curry Roads; crusher run in driveways after paving; started mowing; adjusted tappets and changed oil in one ton; TOWN of ULYSSES 10 ELM STREET TRUMANGBURQ, N.Y. 14886 To Town Board: Re: August Report Zonning Officer Dear Sirs: Below is the zonning report for the town for the month of August 1980.

Thomas L Ferretti 2/0 TO: ULYSSES TOWN BOARD SUBJECT: Report on Human Services Coalition Meetings This organization, as a part of its mission, has been considering, as a service to the County Board of Representatives, applications from the various service organizations in the County for funding for 1981; all requests being petitions for Revenue Sharing funds. The Coalition, as its meetings on August 14, 22 and September 5 acted on the following requests: Gadabout: request for $22,000 from County Revenue Sharing funds Coalition approved this funds inasmuch as the service seems to be meeting a definite need in providing transportation to elderly and handicapped persons (Gadabout - request to City of Ithaca, $5,000, approved) Offender Aid and Restoration: request for $46,240 (or any portion thereof) $30,000 for basic core program 16,240 for Community Restitution Project Approved $30,000 for basic core program as top priorty portion of request, also balance as HSC believes this part of program is worthwhile and deserves funding Program supported by County Sheriff, other funding sources may be Tompkins County Foudation, Cornell, Ithaca College, United Way. Instead of sentencing a person to jail, Court refers him to OAR which has list of human service agencies which will accept such person to work off their crime through restitution to community. Special Children's Center: $23,600 (match for Mental Health contract) This to me was one of the most important requests. • Medicaid pays $23 towards $100 cost of evaluation of • patients. Committee recommended that Special Children's Center be made a permanent line -item on the County budget. Tompkins County Center for Cultural and Performing Arts: S27,000 Not recommended. Supporting documentation of financial condition and organizational performance confused and inadequate Tompkins County Arts Council: $5,000 Recommended with amendments Tompkins County EOC - Chores program: $18,851.56 Recommended since provides badly needed service to low income Tompkins County residents, includes weatherization program Tompkins County Task Force for Battered Women: $1455 safe Recommended.

October Clearing }louse Meeting; try to see if they can be resolved at a local. ].evel before sending them in, thus keeping the number of items to a minimum. Leg. Rep. Donald Boyle reported Hazardous Materials 13111, now a Law, will require that every business in state must file an annual report,using forms supplied by their insurance company and the State, to the Fire Chief of the Department that supplies their Fire Protection. Second Vice -President Tommy "0" presented the keynote speaker Robert W. Grant, President of the National Fire Prevention Association, who spoke on the topic "America's Fire Service Tradition of Progress". Mr. Grant stated that there are 25,000 F.D,'s i.n the U.S. with 2_,000,000 Firefi.gliters. Of that figure 85% are volunteers that put life and body on the line as a cornmittment to the public, but the public for the most part is uninformed of the work that their volunteers are doing. The History of the Fire Service shows that the dedication of volunteers serving the public. The State of New York has had many firsts in leading the Fire Services of the Nation. Some of the firsts are the State Fire Academy, the Home on the Hudson, and support of the Learn Not to Burn Program. In closing MJ,r. Grant stated that todays' progressive departments use Fire Service Tradition as a framework for advancing their service not as a reason not to change. Many of the advancements the Fire Service have been adopted by the Volunteers first. John S. Olivari gave a brief report on the National Volunteer Fire Council. The Council nonducted a survey of Fire Depts. in the country. That survey showed that 1/3 of the active firefighters in the Nation are under the age of thirty, while the average age of volunteers is 39. The survey also showed that 54° of volunteers in the country receive some sort .of compensation for their duty as a volunteer. In closing Mr. Olivari stated that the National Volunteer Fire Council has set priorities for their activities for the coming year. They are: Improving the image of the volunteer fire service; Aid to the EMS; Arson control activities; and Hazardous Materials handlin,. The President recognized various past members of' the Board of Trustees and of the Executive Committee. Second Vice -President Thomas Owczarczak gavc a report on the activities of the Games of Chance Committee. The committee tried to get relief from the rules but that was found to be impractical an they progressed further. The committee believes that the rules and regulations are degrading and discriminatory against the volunteers. As a result of their work a comp- rehensive bill has been submitted to the State Legislature. The Bill, Senate -10077 Assembly -12029, was submitted by Assemblyman Virf_*,ilio and the ate 4 Gna Cal YIC : • s ould resolve all problems. The State Legislators failed to have the courage to pass this vital bill dur.in the past session, but the Executive Committee has asked State Political leaders to have the bill placed on the agenda of a special session to be called later this year. In closing Tommy "0" asked all Fire Departments to contact their Legislators asking,; thorn to support this bill, Secretary Jsur;ene Braun gave his usual fine annual report. lie suggested that the convention forums might he expanded into a seminar type of format. President Hynes asked farr and received, a motion to accept the 35th annual report of Secretary Braun.

Specifications of the Amendment: - The maximum income limit has been raised from $8000 to $9200. The new limit will apply only if the county/ city/ town/ village or•achool•district passes a law or resolution to provide for the increase, each acting individually. - In order to make the new income ceiling available for this tax year, the municipalities have been granted an additional 90 days from the taxable status date to enact the increase. Therefore, if municipalities wish to give eligible constituents the opportunity to take advantage of this legislation, action must be completed before the lot of August. - lbr all persons 65 plus who meet eligibility requirements, the filing date for application (which in normally on or before the taxable status date) has been extended to August lat. - The above extensions apply to 1980 only and to persons residing outside the city limits. Residents of the'city will not benefit in 1980 because it is already 90 days after the city's taxable status date, and the assessment role has been filed. The municipalities that act to raise the income limit must notify the Assessment division and the Office for the Aging.

Stover for establishment of a Development District. Supervisor Bruce M. Payne called the Public Hearing to order at 7:30 P.M. in the Town liall. Other Town Officials present: Councilmen William Agard, J. Frederick Allen, Robert C. Herrick, 11. William Smith, Town Attorney Arthur J. Golder, Jr., Planning Hoard members James P. Warren, Webb S. Fiser and Robert A. Weatherby, Highway Supt. Rolf A. 11oltkamp, Bookkeeper Aileen Beers, Town Clerk Marilyn E. Ough. There 8 was an unofficial count of 7 other persons in attendance. Mrs. Ough read the legal notice of the public hearing as it appeared in the Ithaca Journal and Free Press. Town Attorney Golder stated the Stover application for a Development District was received in April and submitted to the Town and County Planning Boards and the Town Board. He read the proposed amendment to the Zoning Ordinance known as Development District No. 8 and noted 2k was in conformance with the Zoning Ordinance requirements for a business district. Attorney Walter J. Wiggins, representing the Stovers, asked considera- tion of the following changes in the proposed Development District No.B: 4d - "after 3 months" add 'or whenever NYSE&G shall provide such power source.' 4c - the cost of planting trees at the height requested would be $4275 per estimate of the Trumansburg Village Greenhouse. The expanse to cover is over 900 feet. He asked the height be amended to more modest dimensions making planting economically viable. Mr. Wiggins gave the Board copies of a Appraisal Report on Stover Saw Mill and Gill Property by North East Appraisals and Management Co., Inc. This report cites no depreciation of the Gill property because of proximity to Stover property. He urged the Board approve Develop- ment District No. 8 as it protects and serves at the same time. Attorney Martin A. Luster, representing the Gills, asked that it he noted several additional elements are contained in Development District No. 8 that do not appear in proposed Development District submitted by the Stovers and was also submitted to the Town Planning Board, County Planning Board and Finger Lakes State Parks Commission. The original proposal of April 8, 1980 requested permission for just the sawmill operation and replacing the farm shop - not all activities. Stating that tonight we are faced with the particulars - a sawdust containment building, sizing building, treating shed, fertilizer and chemicals mixing building, truck scale shelter - he asked if the State Parks Commission, Town Planning Board or County Planning Board were advised of proposed construction of these buildings and if not so ad- vised, the public hearing was premature. Mr. Luster was aware of the August 21, 1980 report of Mr. L. Dale Baker submitted to the Town Board and that this was the basis for the Board's decision that no environmental impact study would be necessary. He commented on the sound level reading at the west boundary was 75 decibels - 5 below hearing damage - and that the City of Ithaca outlaws in excess of 55 decibels. He stated the report of Mr. Baker subject to criticism in several ways and yet was accepted at face •was value. It was not clear in reading the report whether the decibel readings were for the saw or tractor. It was vague and lacked clarity. He asked the Board to reconsider the report and require an Environ- mental Impact Study. The expanded use of the Stover property has resulted in a substantial loss in property value to the Gills. Not only the Gills but two other property owners on Gorge Road did not sign or support the Stovers petition. This was all started with controversy over the sawmill and noise - now there is proposed construction of 5 or 6 buildings in an agricultural and residential district - a major commercial development. If plan- ning and zoning mean anything it has to be uniformly applied - an exception of this magnitude makes a mockery of the Zoning Ordinance. In setting this precedent how can any future development be denied? If the Town Hoard approves this they have in effect written off the Zoning Ordinance and Planning. If they are not in favor of the Zoning Ordinance they should repeal same. TOWN OF ULYSSES 10 ELM STREET TRUMANSBURD, N.Y. 14BBS LEGAL NOTICE PUBLIC HEARING NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that a Public Hearing will be held by the Town Board of Ulysses on Tuesday, October 7, 1980 at 7:30 P.M. in the Ulysses Town Hall, 10 Elm Street, Trumansburg, New York on the following matter: Application by M.

Stover of Gorge Road, Trumansburg, New York for establishment of a Develop- ment District under Article IV, Section 5 of the Toning Ordinance of the Town of Ulysses, upon lands adjacent to the Gorge Road, for the operation of a sawmill, the sale of forestry products and sales of farm supplies and equipment.

TRUMANSBURG, NEW YORK 14886 September 8, 1980 r Mr. Beach Stover Gorge Road Trumansburg, N.Y. 14886 Dear Mr. Stover: This proposal, and enclosed design.plan, intends to provide a visual screen along the West boundary of the Saw Mill as requested by the town of Ulysses Planning Board. I have suggested White or Red pines since they are fairly disease resistant, provide continuous screening year around, are the quickest to reach full maturity and are noted for longevity. The evergreen hedge should be planted back from Gorge Road approximately seventy five feet for visual safety to enter and exit the mill area. We will plant the trees on ten foot centers in a stagger pattern to allow for air flow and a full screen over the entire five hundred and thirty seven feet. The Village Greenhouse will provide all:labgr, equipment, planting materials, hardwood shredded mulch, trees and one year guarantee for a cost not to exceed: 4/5' ft. height 75.00 each Total - $ 4,275.00 5/6' ft. height 6/7' ft. height 85.00 each Total - $ 4,845.00 105.00 each Total - 4 5,985.00 Guarantee does not apply should failure result from flood, fire, vandalism, rodent injury or chemical burn. Thank you for this opportunity to quote. Sincerely, David M. Allen the Village Greenhouse DM1fi Enclosure Ulysses Town Board Public Hearing 10-7-80 page 2 Mr. Gill: stated the sawmill was O.K. if it had not gone commercial. When he spoke to lir. Stover about it he was told 'no one can tell me what to do'. Mr. Gill has lived here 14 years and spoke of his need for quiet - he operates a successful book publishing business, lie disputed the appraisal report noting Paul Keily had told him their property value was down $10,000. He concluded by appealing to the Board "For God sakes don't - I live here too - the sawmill could be next door to you". Mrs. Gill: said the Stovers have built within 4' of the property line and within G0' of their pond. She understood people wanted cheaper lumber. but it was "hell living near this". One reason they moved here from Ithaca was the zoning protection. She realized that zoning was arrived at hard but the sawmill was a violation. Their property has depreciated $10,000 with one building what will it he with a minor Agway? ® Richard Baudendistle: does business with a lumber company in Addison, New York. This lumber mill is right in the heart of a residential section with no complaints. Where else do you put one? David Burke: The Board makes the choice and this involves a lot of people and should he judged accordingly. Mr. A. E. Andrick: Introduced himself as being from Cortland and publisher of aweekly newspaper with a million circulation. He was here as a spectator to turn in a report on what was happening in our community - a violation of the N.Y.S. Constitution. The sawmill has priority over complaint. It was there before complaint and helped to make America. It's a case of a man who writes prose vs. a man who supplies needed goods. Mr. Payne asked Mr. Andrick to relinquish the floor so we might hear from people living in the Town. Richard Leed: He lives in the Town of Ulysses and urged the Town Board to make a positive decision on the Stover proposal plus no further restrictions on the Stovers. Tom Reitz: Supported the Stover sawmill commenting he sees few barns with flowers planted around them and their lawns are well kept. This would utilize renewable resources - trees. Clayton Smith: He lives two miles south of Stovers and the whole district is primarily farming. Carl Cox: Admonished the Board, saying it was not excusable that Mr. Luster knew nothing of the new buildings being built. He has been following this for some time and said it was a sad commentary when there is no dialogue with the people involved. This has been going on for five years. Mr. Wiggins: in response to Mr. Luster. The map describing buildings was included with application when submitted to the Planning Board. Mr. Luster: This proposed Authorized Development District dated 4 -B -BO is what I had in hand when it went to the Town Planning Board. That map was not distributed with application and not distributed at the Planning Board meeting. Jim Rice: Recalled the Taughannock Falls Station area where the Gills live has been a manufacturing area for 100 years or more. He was on the Town Board when the Zoning Ordinance was passed. The Town Board • had mixed feelings on passing the Zoning Ordinance and not specifying that area commercial but knew changes could be done through Planned Development Districts. Residents could apply for a Planned Development District and gave Spruce Row Campground as an example. Presently there are seven other Planned Development Districts in the Town. If the community is to grow and develop it should be realized that farming is a big business in the Town of Ulysses as it was when the Zoning Ordinance was adopted. Farmers should not be harrassed but given the opportunity to develop. Francis Lueder: The Gill property was not always strictly residential - was a poultry farm. John Sterling: Apologized to the Gills for Mr. Andric'r.'s personal attack and said that it did not reflect the thoughts of the others present. He asked that the level of noise at the residence be taken into consideration. Tom Cell: spoke as a representative of the Finger Lakes State Parks Commission stating the sawmill had no adverse effect on Taughannock State Park and in fact saw logs were taken to the sawmill.

Angus Godwin: His property adjoins the Stover property and the noise from the mill has never been intrusive and iii fact it is a sound he associates with the country. Joan Godwin: echoed her husband's statement. Bob Christianson: Questioned whether the right things were being talked about quoting definition of Farm from Zoning Ordinance and then Article VI, Section 1, Farm Regulations. What is a Farm? He quoted from Public Law 96-221 - copy attached - and noted four of the United States in the past year have passed legislation preventing nuisance complaints against farmers by new owners. The now owners must accept as is, as long as it is a farm. ® Mr. Luster: countered that 15 years ago there was no sawmill, fertili- zer. Mr. Gill is a long term resident and Mr. Stover is changing the environment. Mr. Christianson: There was not a Zoning Ordinance then. John Baisley: Mr. Stover has been selling fertilizer longer than 15 years. Christopher Williams: Is for the greatest good for the greatest number Bob Bauchie: Is a dairy farmer and depends on Mr. Stover. lie noted th additional buildings are not going to be built right away. Mr. Stover is planning ahead and doing his best to please Town and Board. Earl Richar: Spoke in support of Stover proposal. Bob Carpenter: Stover provides a service we need - seed, fertilizer, etc. He asked why the Board has to get involved in agriculture? Al Moore: We need the Stover business in this Town. I Mr. X: Stated a decibel reading from 74 to 80 is the same difference as between 5,000 and 10,000. Rod Fellows: Was a member of the original Planning Board that worked on the 1st Zoning Ordinance in the Town. The Planned Development District was put in the ordinance to be used as the need arose. His business is appraisals and he has seen mills in the middle of Towns that make Stovers look like peanuts. He bought fertilizer from Mr. Stover before 1960. The operation is getting antiquated and changes must be made to keep up the operation. Tom Mahaneyl Spoke in favor of the Stover proposal as being a great asset to tfii community. Screening was a good idea but perhaps it would be more economical having the tall trees for a short distance and the rest 18" trees. / a 2tit t o tw.'� .tsetoV.w 9 '" t.�a��d Mr. Warren said the cost differential u ns tad- t• Mr. Wiggins: When the power driven saw is changed from diesel to electric the screen would not be as essential. He presented the Board with the written estimate on the trees. (copy attached) Mr. Sterling: If the concern is sight instead of sound perhaps a wooden fence would be the answer. Ben Boynton: Spoke on access to original documents. • There being no further comments Mr. Herrick moved, seconded by Mr. Smith, the public hearing adjourn at 8:45 P.M., voted and unanimously carried. Mr. Gill asked the Board to please consider cutting down the hours the mill was open and to cut back on Saturday and no holidays. garilyn E.

BZA hearing heard two requests, one form William Housworht 'so for area variance which was approved, another from Andre Pqnnozzo to placa a trailer on his home for alterations which was denied.The following permits were issued; Frank Keil of 16667 Taughannock Blvd for enclosed porch and an addition, Don Avery of Perry City for a new home, Toby Dean of Curry Rd for change of roof dimensions, Wm. Housworth for a new garage, Clarence Rundle of Dubois Rd for a new home, and Chris Williams of Rt 89 for a study. Had one court hearing on Orson Ledger Jr. on several junk cars, he is removing them and was fined twenty five dollars by Judge Montgomery. Home occupation businesses have been questioned quite frequently lately. Due to the fact that the Zonning Ordinance list only a few it will appear that several BZA hearings will have to be held unless the ordinance is clarified.

Ough Ulysses Town Clerk Trumansburg, N.Y. 14886 Re: Lower speed limit on Route 96, your letter to F. Grout dated 12-10-79. Dear Mrs. Ough: In reviewing Route 96, it was determined that the establishment of a 45 MPH buffer type speed zone for 0.4 miles northerly from the Village line would be realistic. Extending the Village 30 MPH speed limit to the County line would have only covered 700± feet. t'Iith the development just north of the County line, it was logical to extend the speed limit to include that section of Route 96. Enforcement wise, the 45 AIPH buffer speed zone is more desirable. Your interest in this matter is appreciated.

Steven Fellows r TOWN OF ULYSSES PUBLIC HEARING PRELIMINARY 1981 BUDGET November 6, 1980 J � Supervisor Bruce H. Payne called the hearing to order at 7:20 P.M. in the Town Hall. Present: Councilmen William Agard, J. Frederick Allen, Robert C. Herrick, H. William Smith. Also present: Bookkeeper Aileen Beers, Highway Supt. Rolf Holtkamp, Joe Schwartz of the Ithaca Journal, Earl Richar, Roberta Spurling of the Free Press, Martin Luster, Town Justice James E. Rice, Jr., Town Clerk Marilyn E. Ough. Mrs. Ough read the Legal Notice of the Public Hearing as it appeared in the Free Press and Ithaca Journal. Mr. Payne said Justice Rice had spoken with him in regard to making ® the Justice salaries equal. This would require increasing the salary of Justice Montgomery by $270. Mrs. Beers said that would not change the tax rate by a penny. She also spoke of sending two other possible budget changes to the Board and stated that by lowering the hourly pay rate for the Deputy Town Clerk the appropriation for Human Services Coalition could be added lowering the original tax rate by .0074. She mentioned speaking with Mr. Murphy's office and then George Patte regarding the effect on the Town should Tompkins County not allocate funds for the SPCA in their 1981 Budget. Mr. Patte said we dould leave our budget for control of dogs the same. He is hoping to have Dog Control Contracts to the Towns in December for action in January. Should the SPCA lose County support it would mean reducing the hours of service and possible discontinuance of the dog enumeration next year. Mr. Payne said to keep in mind that if we did the enumeration it would entail paying an enumerator mileage plus .50 a dog. Mrs. Beers went over the tax rates. Mr. Payne explained the estimated $21,000 for Fire Protection. Fire PChief Jack Fulton has said the amount would not be much more than last year. Using this estimate and the increase in assessed valuation the figure is almost .02 per thousand less. Mrs. Ough requested information on the reduction in amount budgeted for Deputy Town Clerk since it directly involves her office. Mrs. Beers informed her the amount budgeted would be $1100 and the hourly rate $3.35. Mrs. Ough then asked about her salary request. In answer she was told it reflected what she had requested. She pointed out that her request was for 5400, a 5.5% increase, based on $800 reimbursement for insurance. She was never informed of the insurance reimbursement increase from $800 to $952 which made her actual salary increase 5248, 3.3%. The Board agreed to increase her salary by the additional 5152. Mr. Luster questioned the format of the five columns in the tents- Live/preliminary budget stating that, if he was not mistaken, the intent of the first column was to list actual expenditures for 1979 so a comparison could be made with the 1980 budget and projected 1981 budget. As it shows now the actual is the same as the amended 1980 budget except for one line. Mr. Payne asked Mrs. Beers to get actual expenditures from Year -End - Report for 1979 and she read them off. In answer to Mr. Agard's question on whether this information is • required by law Mrs. Beers said she used to give comparative figures and that she is using forms left from previous years as the State is not supplying them this year. Mr. Richar stated that regardless of what is required the Town should be willing to give this information as these comparisons mean a lot. He then asked why copies of the budget were not made available, followed by an angry exchange with Mr. Herrick. Mr. Herrick asked Mrs. Beers to make copies available. Mrs. Beers stated the Super- visor's books are always open to the public, never locked away. Mr. Luster asked if the Budget reflected any reimbursement of the approximate $10,000 in taxpayers money spent on salaries paid Council- men not legally authorized to sit on the Town Board between 1974 and December 1979? Since the law was not followed when the Town Board resolved to become a 1st Class Town in 1972 the elections and seating of Councilmen was illegal. The State passed a law in 1977 doing essentially the same thing the Town had tried to do - replace Justices with Councilmen on the Board - but even that did not make this Town ri r STATE Or NEW YORK DEPARTMENT OF AUDIT AND CONTROL ALBANY 12236 t-.

He said the problem could be cured in a number of ways - by asking the County Board of Representa- tives to pass a validating act to ratify acts retroactively or poss- ibly it would be easier to start the procedure all over. He said he was not accusing anyone of wrong doing but a substantial amount of money was spent illegally and what was their remedy? Mr. Payne stated the Town Attorney has said everything is all right. Mr. Luster brought up the letter written by Bob Williamson detailing step by step procedure for becoming a 1st Class Town and asked why this was not followed? Justice Rice stated he could foresee the possibility of someone, someday suing because of the technicality of legality if the Town Board did not rectify to make past actions legal. Mr. Payne said it was his understanding that everything was all right now but he would talk with the Town Attorney and discuss it at the next meeting. Mr. Luster noted that there has been knowledge of this particular issue since Spring and yet it has never been discussed in public or brought up at a meeting. Mr. Luster spoke regarding the series of Budget deadlines and how in each case the deadline was not met. Did the Board ever consider and pass the tentative budget for it to become the preliminary budget? Mr. Payne explained there had been difficulties settling the % of Highway Department pay increase. It was settled at 10% before the last meeting. Mr. Richar asked about the police fees and was informed it was the Town's share of fines returned by the State. Justice Rice commented on the increase in fees returned that had been requested. The bill was passed by the Legislature but vetoed by the Governor. A discussion followed on present status and funding of TRUST. Mr. Herrick stated that everyone should be able to observe the budget in any stage of development and again directed Mrs. Beers to make copies available. There being no further discussion Mr. Allen moved, seconded by Mr. Agard, that the public hearing adjourn at 8:15 P.M., voted and unanimously carried. /42a4c4o0 c? (ac,LI Saturday, Nov. 8, 1980 ITHACA JOURNAL? wn Clerk T -burg board's expansion rule4 By JOSEPH SCHWARTZ Journal Writer TRUMANSBURG — The addition of .two councilmen to the Ulysses Town Board in 1974 was illegal be- cause the move .was not publicized, according to the the State Comptroller's Office, it was re- vealed this week. The town's attorney says the move was, in fact illegal. But he added that state legislation passed three years later rectified the situation, State officials said the mistake would could invalidate any decisions made by the board in the three-year period, but that would be unlikely. "I don't think thatia court would say that everything they did was illegal," said Mitchell Morris, at- torney with the state comptroller's office. The Ulysses Town board expanded itself from two to four councilmen in 1974, when a 1972 resolution author- izing the move became effective. The 1972 resolution should have been subject to a voter approval. But that was impossible, because the resolution was never publicized, ac- cording to a decision handed down by the comptroller's office. "The failure to publish and post a resolution that is subject to a per- missive referendum is, we believe, a jurisdictional defect," wrote Theo- dore M. Berns, Chief Municipal con- sultant for the state comptroller in a letter written to the Town of Ulysses Clerk dated May 9, 1980. A "juris- dictional defect" contained in 1piece of legislationwould void that, egislation. Trumansburg Attorney Martin Luster brought up the issue at a preliminary budget hearing this week because, he said, the board was not doing anything about the prob- lem. Town Supervisor Bruce Payne said Thursday thatthe town attorney assured him Ulysses is operating on safe legal ground. Payne said after the meeting that he would consult with Town Attorney A.J. Golder Jr. about future action on the problem. "Anything they do now isn't going to change the situation," said Golder Friday afternoon. Legislation passed by the state in 1977 made the town's operation legal again, he said. According to Golder, the town passed the 1972 resolution to reclass- ify the town so that it could replace two town justices who sat on the board with two more councilmen. 286 sl 1 TOWN OF ULYSSES Trumaneburg, N.Y. 14886 607-387-8801 NOTICE OF HEARING ON PRELIMINARY BUDGET TOWN OF ULYSSES NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that the Preliminary Budget for the Town of Ulysses for the fiscal year beginning January 1, 1981 has been completed and filed in the office of the Town Clerk at 10 Elm Street, Trumansburg, New York, where it is avail- able for inspection by any interested person during office hours.

Mr. Herrick seconded the motion, voted and unanimously carried. There being no questions or comments on the proposed 1981 Budget Mr. Allen moved the proposed Town of Ulysses Budget for 1981 be adopted. Mr. Agard seconded the motion, voted and carried unanimously. Mr. Payne asked Town Attorney Golder to speak on the questions raised at the public hearing last week regarding Town status. Mr. Golder traced from the beginnings in 1971 when the first talk began on replacing the Town Justices on the Town Board with Councilmen. To accomplish this required voting to become a First Class Town, subjec to a permissive referendum. This was done in early 1972 but notice, as far as can be determined, was never published, posted or filed with the Secretary of State. The Town proceeded to function as a First .Class Town and as Justice terms ended they were replaced on the Town Board by Councilmen. Robert Herrick was elected to a four year term beginning 1-1-74 (replacing James E. Rice, Jr.) and William Agard was elected to a four year term beginning 1-1-76 (replacing Roger Rector - appointed to complete Dana Poyer's term). In 1977 the New York State Legislature accomplished what the Town had done, effective 7-1-77. Robert Herrick was re-elected for a four year term beginning 1-1-78 and William Agard was re-elected for a four year term beginning 1-1-80. On January 1, 1980 the Town Board was as it should be. In answer to the question on the effect of what was done during these periods Mr. Golder said none - the actions of the Town Board can be challenged but there was always a majority of Town Board members sitting and the others could be considered defacto officers of the Town.... if he looks, acts and talks like, he IS. It was concluded that it was not now necessary to become a First Class Town. In answer to Mr. Mason's question regarding the retroactive validating of Board actions Mr. Golder said he did not interpret the validating act by the County Board that way - it would just validate the Town status not any actions taken by the Board. Representative James Mason reported there will be a Public Hearing Monday, November 17th at 7:30 P.M. in the NYSE&G auditorium when the Tompkins County Budget will be presented. As it stands now the • rate in the Town, outside of the Village, will be .382 (.435 this year) and 3.558 within the Village (4.217 this year). There could be some last minute adjustments as pressures will be brought to reinstate some programs eliminated such as OAR and the SPCA. He outlined the reasoning for his support of the Offender Aid and Restoration program showing its cost effectiveness in our County. The percent of offenders returning to jail after being in this program is 12.3 vs. a 50% return rate for those not involved in the program. Discussion followed on what, if any, other feasible deterrents there were for repeat offenders. Mr. Mason then outlined the SPCA funding requests for control of animals other than dogs and additional to subsidize the dog control program. A motion was made by Mr. Award, seconded by Mr. Smith, voted and unanimously carried that Justice James E. Rice, Jr. attend Maaistrates School in New York City February 15-18, 1981 and be the Town of Ulysses Representative to the Annual Meeting of the Association of TOWN OF ULYSSES Trumaneburg, N.Y. 14886 607-387-8601 LEGAL NOTICE Report to Bureau of the Census for the expenditure of Revenue Sharing funds received by the Town of Ulysses for the fiscal year 1979, with supporting documents, is available for general public inspec- tion in the Town Office, 10 Elm Street, Trumansburg, New York, from 9 a.m. until 12 noon, Monday through Saturday of any week.

He then read a report on meeting he and Mrs. Beers had with Mr. Cutia (copy attached) concluding that Ulysses young people would have to finance their Ulysses Town Board 11-11-80 page 3 participation in the Ithaca program. Mr. Holtkamp suggested that possibly those taking advantage of the Ithaca program were primarily students in the Ithaca School District and were not aware of the activities available in Ulysses. In answer to a question on whether County tax dollars went to the Ithaca Youth Bureau Mr. Mason stated that most were matching funds channeled through the County to the Ithaca Youth Bureau. Mr. Reitz said if the funds are being allocated by State and County for all of us how can the Town be excluded? Mr. Mason said that was a good ® question that had never been asked before. Further discussion followed. Mr. Herrick moved, seconded by Mr. Allen, that the following resolution be adopted: RESOLVED: that the Ulysses Town Board create the following positions: Deputy Zoning Officer - effective 9-22-80 Temporary Zoning Officer - effective 9-1-80 Adopted Mr. Agard Aye Mr. Allen Aye Mr. Herrick Aye Mr. Smith Aye Mr. Payne Aye Mr. Holtkamp explained the need for a new contract with the County for care of roads.

Mr. Allen requested status on repair of the Austic field tile problem. Mr. Holtkamp said that sometime this week Mr. Baker would dig up the 400' necessary to pick up tile that will run water. Discussion followed regarding responsibility beyond right-of-way. Mr. Ferretti gave his October Zoning report, copy attached. Mr. Holtkamp reported on Highway Department activities for October noting the salt shed is full and the three roads are completed. They finished spray patching; put shoulders on Cold Springs, Curry and Seneca Roads; repaired truck and cinder spreader - installing latter on truck; mowed back roads for County; installed snow plows and greased; changed oil and filters on T21, T6, Grader and 1 Ton; changed oil and greased Loader; greased Oshkosh; repaired '69 Brockway, '72 Brockway and '70 Chevrolet for inspection. Mr. Holtkamp explained the need to replace the seven+ year old chain saw. Mr. Herrick moved, seconded by Mr. Agard, voted and unanimously carried that Mr. Holtkamp purchase a replacement chain saw from Agway • for $160.00. Mrs. Ough reported on licenses issued in October - on file in the Supervisor's office. She noted receipt from Tompkins County the Resolution establishing County Equalization Rates and also Administra- tor J.J. Murphy's certification that she has fully paid over and accounted for all taxes collected by her for the 1980 tax year. She explained the need to increase Marriage License/Certificate of Marriage Registration fee from $3 to $4 and also set a $2 fee for photo -copy of original marriage license. A motion was made by Mr. Allen, seconded by Mr. Herrick, that the following resolution be adopted: RESOLVED: that, effective January 1, 1981, the fee for Marriage License/Certificate of Marriage Registration be increased from 53.00 to $4.00, and FURTHER RESOLVED: that, effective immediately, a fee of $2.00 be set for photo -copy of original marriage license on file TOWN OF ULYSSES 10 ELM STREET TRUMANSBURO, N.Y. 14BBG REPORT ON MEETING WITH ROBERT CUTIA, ITHACA YOUTH BUREAU, on 28 October 1980 Mrs. Beers and I met with Mr. Cutia on above date, the meeting resulting from a report from the city of City Youth Bureau and findings resulting from a study done by the Human Services Coalition. This study showed a total of 214 Ulysses residents (a few of whom are in their late teens or older) who have been utilizing Ithaca sponsored youth activities. They show the cost of these activities for the 214 persons as totalling $7,479.50 or $34.95 per person. We wished to know just what these activities were and learned they did not include use of the Cass Park rink or swimming pool, which are fee supported. They did, however, duplicate some, but not all, of the programs sponsored by the Town of Ulysses and the Village of Trumansburg "summer programs". It was brought out to Mr. Cutia that the Town financially supports only two program directors for our programs and that the balance of the program responsibilities are manned by volunteers; that our 1980 summer program had 621 or more young people taking part. Mr. Cutia agreed that the Town of Ulysses, as well as other townships in the County, could not afford to add the total costs (in tie Town of Ulysses the $7,479.50 quoted above). As a result of thej study done by the Human Services Coalition, and at their recommendation, the City Youth Bureau has determined that those residents from towns outside the City and the Town of Ithaca, shall pay for the recreational services they seek in Ithaca, instead of having them paid for by Town tax dollars. It was mutually agred that Ulysses young people their participation in Ithaca programs and that so would depend upon openings available to them after Ithaca youth were placed in such programs would have to finance their ability to do i any progra s BR d.

R�pectfully�,`r����(','i Thomas L Ferretti ~ Z/O ULYSSES YOUTH UNLIMITED JULY - SEPTEMBER 1980 We made it through another summer and into a new school year. Our summer schedule ran as follows: the drop -in center was open 3:00 - 9:00 Monday - Friday. This schedule of coures went through many changes as our summer staff faded away. Tizzy Wallene was the first to leave in late July, Garth Pritchard was the next leaving in mid -August, followed the next week by Sandra Waring. Sandy Sage stayed until mid -September and then her. CETA position at UYU ran out. However, Sandy decided she would like to stay on at UYU and we were fortunate enough to obtain another CETA position for Sandy which started October 1, 1980. Sandy continued to work full time through September as a volunteer. Thanks Sandy::: For the school year we also have a Social Work field study student form Cornell, Lynn "Cricket" Allen. Cricket is very dedicated and has fit in very well. Welcome! As for the summer, July found us doing a variety of things. Abour 15 youths went to Cornell with us to the Fourth of July fireworks display. Two staff members were at the Trumamsburg Fair each night watching our for drunken adolescents, and making sure they got home safely. We defused a few fights and had a pretty good fair. The Johnson Museum of Art at Cornell received a visit from approximately 12 UYUer's and a French exchange student who was staying with one of the Kid's family. In late July we had a camping tripto Sand Lake in the Adirondacks. August was a s.lbwer month as far as recreation. We sponsored two dances, one in early August, and the other on the last weekend of August. There was also a picnic mid -way through the month. Starting in July and running for six weeks we had a Family Awareness and Responsibility class on Wednesday evenings. A family counselor came in and ran a "rap group" styled class. September Saw most of our youth returning school. We returned our summer drop -in room to the First Presbyterian Church of Ulysses, after refurbishing and repainting the room. This took a good deal of time and energy from both the k, 1 youth and staff, a total of about 92 hours. We all had great fun, and the youth learned. slot. This also allowed anoppertunity to thank the First Presbyterian. The recreation program, though the most obvious aspect of UYU, is only a minor part of the total and in reality is only a tool to enhance the coudeling situation. The significant work this summer was done in the numerous one-to-oge'counseling situations that were precipitated outof the drop -in center, and the recreation program. This kind of counseling is the heart of UYU and is by in large invisible and very difficult to measure. A great deal of one-to-one counseling occurred during the summer. We dealt with everything from suicide,to youths running away and living "in the streets". One measurable indication the success of the UYU program is that we saw regularly 35 - 50 adolescents per day in the drop in center: The center was not empty more than about 4 hours the entire summer. Another reflection of the expansion of UYU is the changes in demand made upon the program by the community. I see the program as having 18 facets, some called upon daily, others only occasionally. They are as follows: informal counseling; out -rent: program - in the schools and streets; drop -in center, open Monday - Firday 3:00 - 6:00; Inter -agency referrals, ie., Dept. of Social Services, Planned Parenthood, and transportation to these agencies; deliquency provention program; Youth Bmployme Service; Human exuality counseling; advocacy; family counseling; drug and alcohol abuse counseling; outing program; crisis intervention; emergency housing; weekly recreation program; 24 hour telephone availability; short term tutoring; Big Brother Big Sister, program; and career couseling. In response to this expansion, I have submitted a grant proposal to the State to fund another fulltime position 'for a delinquency provention youth worker. If this proposal is approved, it will go into effect on January 1, 1981. Within the Ulysses Township, and indeedtompkinsCounty there is a critical shortage of homes inwhich to place adolescents, either permanetly or. temporarily. Within our society there is a great flux of youths leaving their homes, or often the home leaving the youth, and the Kids have no where to go but the streets. This summer we had nine youths living "in the streets", at one time, some we have found placemen for, some found places for themselves and others are still"in the streets". If any- one is interested or able to house a youth temporarily or permanently, for which the is extensive monetary reimbursement from the State, please contact us here at UYU, or any of the Human Service angencies in the country. This is a very serious proble 3 I. • Finally, I would like to add a personal note. I have now been with the prograr about 6 months. It has beenavery demanding, frustrating and at times depressing 6 months, but this has also been the most rewarding and meaningful work I have done. I wish to thank all the benefactors of UYU program, the T.R.U.S.T. Board members, and especially Rev. Tom LanReand the First Presbyterian, for the help, support and encouragement you have given this program.and myself. Also, a special. word of thanks to Sam Cohen, Coordinator of the Ithaca Youth Bureau.

Payne Town Office Building Elm Street Trumansburg, New York 14886 Re: Exemption From Taxation of Village of Trumansburg Wells and Distribution Lines Within the Township Dear Bruce: Section 406 of the Real Property Tax Law of the State of New York provides that real property owned by a municipal corporation not within its corporate limits, used in connection with a municipal water system, shall be wholly or partially exempt from taxation and wholly or partially exempt from special ad valorem levies and special assessment, by any municipal corporation in which located, provided the governing board thereof shall so agree in writing." As I understand it, you have been requested by the Village of Trumansburg to grant that exemption with respect to the wells and distribution lines located within the township. If the Town Board wishes to do so I suggest a resolution which recites the request, followed by: "RESOLVED, that this Town Board agrees that the wells and water distribution lines of the Village of Trumansburg in the Town of Ulysses shall hereafter be exempt from taxation, from special ad valorem levies and from special assessments, and the Supervisor is hereby authorized to so agree, in writing."

In answer to Mr. Herrick's question on whether a financial report or statement had been received,Mr. Mann said it would be available the end of the year. Asked if the Towns could have an interim report for budget time, Mr. Mann said that was possible since the Village keeps a running total each month. Mr. Herrick noted the Towns had received a Call Report last year and they should have had a similar report for April '79 to March '80. The Contract represents a substantial amount of taxpayers money and the Boards are entitled to updated information and a report on amount each Township is contributing. Further discussion underlined the need for figure information from the Village prior to Town Budget preparation. Mr. Mann said each Town Board could appoint a Board member to sit in and go over the Fire Department Budget, in an honorary capacity.

Within the next two weeks, where at all possible, we personally observed the various properties. We then net again with the Tompkins County Assessors and made recommendations on the applications for assessment review. Then the recommendations went to the County Review Board for final consideration. Reepectively yours, stI Pat Stevenson Catherine B. Stover January 1, 1981 TO: Ulysses Town Board FROM: James P. Warren RE: Summary of Activity - 1980 County Planning Board The Tompkins County Planning Board met ten times in 1980; two of these meetings lacked a quorum. A significant portion of the Planning Board's time was spent listening to presentations by other local groups or agencies: January - a presentation was made by Bryant Robey emphasizing the importance of the 1980 census. February - a presentation on the role of the Human Services Coalition by Anne Jones, Chairman of H.S.C. Also, a presentation by Douglas Salter emphasizing the importance of the 1980 census. March - a presentation by Peter Francese emphasizing the impor- tance of the 1980 census. June - Gould Coleman reported to the Board on the role and activities of the Health Planning Council. Also, a pre- sentation made to the Board by representatives of PARKIT, a Tompkins County group formed to address the problem of alcohol related traffic accidents. Topics which came before the County Planning Board in 1980 were a mix of old and new, and few had immediate relevance to the Town of Ulysses: NUCLEAR WASTE Considerable discussion arose from reports of the possible transpor- tation of nuclear waste through Tompkins County. Material was present- ed at the Board's April meeting by the Hazardous Waste Committee of the Environmental Management Council urging tight local restrictions on hazardous waste transport. The Planning Board made no recommendation to the County Board of Reps. on this matter, pending receipt of a dis- senting report by Paul Komar of the E.M.C. In May information was received indicating that the Nuclear Regulatory Commission had changed its guidelines to allow nuclear waste to be transported through heavily populated areas if escorted by armed aguard; the need to by-pass the heavily populated Syracuse area raised the original concern over trans- port through Tompkins County. Various groups are continuing to study the general question of the transportation of hazardous material through our area. In a related matter, a proposal to transfer control of Connecticut Hill lands from the N.Y.S. Department of Environmental Conservation to the U.S. Forestry Service generated concern, expressed by the Trumansburg Rural Alliance, that Federal control would open the door to possible nuclear waste storage beneath Connecticut Hill. This appears to not be a preferred storage area, and since this matter is related to the possible transfer of U.S. Forestry Service land in Hector to the Cayuga Indians, the County Planning Board felt immediate action was not needed. TRUCK TRAFFIC The County Planning Department, with the assistance of the N.Y.S. Dept. of Transportation, has begun studying the impact of truck traffic in Tompkins County. The issue was raised due to the receipt of strong complaints about truck noise, speed, hours of operation, and the attendant lowering of property values from groups in the Bryant Park, East State Street, and East Ithaca neighborhoods in the city of Ithaca. While this study is of particular importance to these Ithaca neighbor- hoods, the general results may be of future use to the Town of Ulysses. ROUTE 13 In 1979 the County Planning Board passed a resolution supporting the County Planning Department's recommendation for a new Route 13 corridor to Dryden. This issue has returned as a result of a change in the plan- ning goals of Cortland County, and various alternatives are being re- evaluated. ROUTE 96 Frank Liguori has indicated that funding for the Route 96 project is available only for Phase 1 of the project. This does not allow for the elimination of the railroad grade crossings in Ithaca - a major concern of those to the east of these crossings for reasons of access to the hospital, and to those on west hill due to the possible delay of fire equipment. WASTE DISPOSAL The County Planning Department is studying the feasibility of locating a solid waste disposal site in the old hospital steam plant. Solid waste would be incinerated and used to produce steam. A recycling center would also be located on the site. Respectfully submitted, • James P.

Herrick. Others present: Councilmen William Agard, J. Frederick Allen, H. William Smith. Absent: Supervisor Bruce M. Payne. Also present: Town Attorney Arthur J. Golder, Jr., Justice James E. Rice, Jr., Zoning Officer Thomas Ferretti, Bookkeeper Aileen Beers, Earl Richar, Catherine Stover, M. Budd Stover, Thomas Reitz, James P. Warren, Susan Perkins, Town Clerk Marilyn E. Ough. Mr. Agard moved, seconded by Mr. Smith, the minutes of the January 13, 1981 meeting, as typed and distributed to Board members, be approved. Voted and unanimously carried. ® Board members previously examined the following claim vouchers: General Fund Nos. 25 through 43 $ 3564.60 Highway Fund Nos. 18 through 38 12445.74 Part Town Fund Nos. 2 through 6 132.75 Mr. Allen moved the claims, as submitted, be approved for payment by the Deputy Supervisor. Mr. Smith seconded the motion, voted and unanimously carried. Justice Rice addressed the Board as designated Town of Ulysses delegate to the Association of Towns Annual Business Session to be held in New York City next week. Copies of the Association's pro- posed Statements for 1981 Legislative Program were sent to Board members prior to meeting and he sought their instruction on how to vote. Several of the statements were discussed prior to Mr. Agard moving, seconded by Mr. Smith, adoption of the following resolution: RESOLVED: that the Ulysses Town Board support the proposed statements for 1981 Legislative Program of the Association of Towns of the State of New York, and FURTHER RESOLVED: that the Ulysses Town Board authorize Justice James E. Rice, Jr., Ulysses delegate to the 1981 Annual Meeting of the Association of Towns, to vote support of the 1981 Legislative Program. Adopted Mr. Agard Aye Mr. Allen Aye Mr. Smith Aye Mr. Herrick Aye Justice Rice explained the benefits of belonging to the Association of Towns (annual membership dues is based on total Town revenues). Their legal staff provides representation in Albany. They also conduct schools for all elected Town officials and publish an inform- ative monthly newsletter. Mr. Herrick announced that Mr. Smith and Mr. Agard had agreed to serve as a committee to meet with the Village Trustees and work out the Fire Contract on an equitable basis. In answer to Mr. Richar's question on whether the Town had received any reports, Mr. Herrick acknowledged receipt, that day, of a report from Fire Chief Jack Fulton regarding man hours and calls. However, the Town is seeking information from the Village regarding income and expenditures. Mr. Herrick asked the Board's pleasure regarding the S.P.C.A. Dog Control Contract. Attorney Golder noted the enumeration was being eliminated to help make up the difference between the S.P.C.A.'s anticipated income and the substantially lower actual amount received. They hope to resume enumerating in 1982. Mrs. Ough stated that given a good, thorough enumeration it was feasible to do it every other year. Under the new licensing system only previously unlicensed dogs need enumerating as those licensed in 1980 and later are permanently registered. Discussion followed on the alternate Dog Control Proposal previously submitted by Mr. Hilker which included enumeration and a promised saving of funds. It was concluded this proposal left un- answered questions and needed closer scrutiny with no time for investigation this contract year. While, on the other hand, the S.P.C.A. was a known organization that gave the Town the requested level of service and there had been no complaints. Mr. Agard moved, seconded by Mr. Allen, adoption of the following resolution: Proposed Statements for 1981 Legislative Program State Shared Revenue: The State Legislature and the Governor should immedi— ately take action to restore State Shared Revenue allocations to local government to the full amount of 8% of total state tax revenues in compliance with Section 54 of the State Finance Law. Reviving State Sewer 0 & M Aid: This aid program has been totally eliminated, and the full 0 & M cost rests on the local taxpayer. The state should re-establish an equitable formula in aid of the 0 & M costs of these treatment plants and inter- ceptors, More Equitable Town Hishwa;r Aid: It is. obvious that a total revamping of the state highway aid program is essential. Until this is implemented, the present Town Highway Improvement Program (TRIP), meager as it is, should be extended for at least a three or five-year period. • . Revise OSHA: The effective date of the new State OSHA law should be delayed until proper studies of safety hazards are completed, safety performance standards are devised and adequate state aid for compliance are provided. Resolving Real Property Assessment Problems: The court mandate of "full value' assessment and the Legislature's failure to develop appropriate solutions have left -local assessing units in the difficult dilemma of not knowing what course of action to take. Tax shifts from commercial properties to residential ones are feared. Disparity in taxes paid by owners of similar properties located in differ— ent tax districts is unfair and should be cured. The courts should not be required to solve these problemd. It is not desired that the•state furnish solutions, either. The state should, however, furnish guidelines for uniform standards of assessment. • In helping to achieve the implementation of such uniform standards, the state should provide aid up to 50% of the cost of revaluations and mainten— ance. Assessing units which have paid for revaluation programs should be similarly aided retroactively. Opposing Binding Arbitration: The temporary provision for binding interest arbitration of labor disputes between local municipalities and paid police and firemen should not be extended beyond July 1, 1981, nor should this onerous con— cept be extended to disputes in the public sector with other categories of local public employees. Redefining "Supervisory" Personnel: The present definition of "management — confidential" in the Taylor Law should be broadened so that the public employer would be able to designate those public employees which are clearly managerial in nature. Limitation on Taxes For Purchases of Town Highway Equipment: Highway Law, 1271 now limits the amount of money a town may raise by tax in any one year fpr the purchase of town highway equipment. Either Highway Law, 1271 should be repealed or the basic limitation raised to a realistic amount in the light of present day inflated costs. Town Board Role in Village Incorporation and Dissolution: Under existing law, a village may be incorporated and dissolved without meaningful town board participation. • Legislation should be enacted giving town boards authority to determine overall public interest in any proposed village incorporation and dissolution. -2 - Elimination of State Mandates: dates on local government appear "on training of peace officers, binding etc.. Action should be taken for the essential mandates; state funding be on local governments. It has been estimated, that over 5,000 state man - the books" today, i.e. OSRA, SEQR, mandatory arbitration, real property tax exemptions, systematic reduction or elimination of ua- provided for any new ones imposed by the state Prohibiting Non -Returnable Beverage Containers: The use of non -returnable beverage containers has expanded in recent years and contributes substantially to the littering of our streets and public places. The removal and disposal of these containers is a costly local effort. The adoption of statewide legislation prohibiting the use of non -returnable beverage containers is strongly recommended. Taxation of Leased State Lands: The development of a comprehensive policy on taxation of state-owned lands, including lands leased to private persons, is essential. Flexibility in Civil Service Appointments: The Civil Service Law presently requires the appointment and promotion of public employees from the first three eligible candidates on any approved list after examination. Local units should be authorized to appoint and promote personnel from the first 10 on any approved Ust. Mandatory Fiscal Analysis: Currently, when state legislators consider pro- posed legislation imposing new local expenses, they have no knowledge of local fiscal impact of such.legislation. They vote on these measures blindly which could have a substantial impact on local expenditures or revenue. A local fiscal impact analysis should accompany all legislation. Agency Shop Fee Deduction: The present provisions of the Civil Service Law authorize local government employers to negotiate agency shop fee deduction with their municipal employees. This provision expires October 1, 1981. There is no justification in having this item a mandatory object of negotiation. The agency shop concept ahonld be left as an optional negotiable item and not mandated across the board for all local governments. Town Court Fees: Town courts provide litigants ready access to judicial process at reasonable cost. These courts perform important functions as part of our states unified court system. The fees remitted to towns by the state for processing cases involving violation of state laws have not been increased in over 40 years. Such fees should now be increased to offset higher costs and to alleviate the burden from the real property taxpayer. Ulysses Town Board 2-10-01 page 2 7Jy RESOLVED: that Deputy Supervisor Robert C. Herrick be author- ized to execute the S.P.C.A. Dog Control Contract, and FURTHER RESOLVED: that Thomas F. Reitz be appointed Ulysses Liason to the S.P.C.A. Advisory Control Board. Adopted Mr. Agard Aye Mr. Allen Aye Mr. Smith Aye Mr. Herrick Aye Mr. Smith moved, seconded by Mr. Allen, voted and unanimously carried, that the following Board of Zoning Appeals appointments be made: Merle C. Stillions, Chairman Arthur J. Golder, Jr., Attorney Aileen Beers, Secretary ® Mr. Smith moved the appointment of James H. Scott as the Ulysses Representative on the Ithaca -Tompkins County Transportation Commission Term ending 12-31-82. Motion was seconded by Mr. Agard, voted and unanimously carried. Susan Perkins, newly elected Treasurer of the TRUST Board, called attention to the Ulysses Youth Unlimited Annual Report (previously given to Board members) pointing out that the statistical data covers June through December 1980. She spotlighted the Emergency Housing Program as an example of cost savings information to those supplying financial support. She noted approval by the State Division for Youth of another fulltime position to deal with the preventative delinquency program and stated more information would be brought to the Board in the form of quarterly reports. Next on the agenda was a discussion of the Travelers Insurance survey report (copy attached) and status of compliance to their recommendations; 1. Relief valve with a test lever is to be installed on the water heater. 2. The clutter around the furnace has been removed. 3. We are in process of getting an estimate for illuminated EXIT signs. Temporary paper EXIT signs are in place. 4. Rolf is in the process of marking the doorway in a conspicous manner to minimize danger. The Board noted that the Highway Superintendent should make a serious effort to better secure the Town Barns against children and/or vandals. Discussion on the need to replace a wooden, fire door at the Town Barn culminated when Mr. Smith moved, seconded by Mr. Allen, that the Town purchase a replacement steel firedoor on sale at 89 Lumber for $90.00. Voted and unanimously carried. A ticket received by a.Town employee from the State Police resulting in a $25.00 fine prompted Mr. Agard to move, seconded by Mr. Smith, approval of the following memo to be posted in the Highway Barns: TO: Highway Employees FROM: Highway Superintendent • SUBJECT: Use of Covering Devices Any driver who receives a ticket for non -coverage devices on loaded trucks will be responsible for such violation of regulations. Voted and unanimously carried. Mrs. Beers reported: 1. Expected Revenue Sharing receipts will be $3,331.00 more than budgeted. 2. Human Services Coalition and Mr. Payne signed contract 1-13-81. 3. Travelers will be here for a payroll audit on 2-18-81. She also went over three reports - Recap of 1980 Funds, January 1981 Accounts of the Supervisor and Investments of tax receipts. Mr. Herrick commended her on her diligent work. Mr. Ferretti gave his monthly Zoning report, copy attached. In the absence of Mr. Holtkamp, Mrs. Ough gave the January Highway report noting they had repaired the rear hub on the X72 Brockway, THE TRAVELERS r 1 Town of Ulysses 10 Elm Street Trumansburg, NY 14886 L Att: Mrs. Aileen Beers, Secretary As addressed and Cole Grove Road, Jacksonville, NY Mrs. Aileen Beers Address all correspondence to THE TRAVELERS INSURANCE COMPANIES Engineering Division P.O.

We reviewed the records of the town and we toured the offices and vehicle storage barn. We discussed the use of the OSHA 200 log: I am enclosing a booklet which expands on the instructions for using form. At the Elm Street location, the parking lot and sidewalks were noted to be clear of snow and in good condition. Floors and aisles in the offices and court room were in good condition and free of tripping hazards. The water heater for the lavatories was noted to not have an ASME-approved relief valve on it. The space around the forced air furnace was full of items such as old doors and boxes. Those materials pose a fire hazard. The exits in the courtroom and offices were not clearly marked. I am enclosing exit signs for these doors. Since the building is used by the public in the evening, exits should be marked with lighted exit signs. The door leading to the back room should be marked with the "Not an Exit" sign which is enclosed. This will help alleviate confusion about exits in case of an emergency. No liability claims have been reported to date in 1980. At the Cole Grove Road location, the garage was wide open with no attendants apparent. A greater effort should be made to secure the premises against children and/or vandals. The Brockway Tandem Diesel 70005 (NY License 17633-B) This &port is bosod upon conditions and practices observed and lnlo,mnt,on supplied by management personnel at the time of this visit.

It T.HE mn.AVELERS Town of Ulysses 10 Elm St. Trumansburg, NY D/S 12/16/80 and the Ford F100 (NY License 19041-B) were in good condition externally. The Walter Snow -Fighter which is used now mostly in parades was noted to have tires in bad condition. The tires on this truck should be replaced if the truck is used for snow removal. No automobile claims have been reported to date in 1980. The doorway in the wall between the new garage and old garage has a hazardous drop from the addition into the original garage which should be marked. In the interest of public and employee safety, the following recommendations are submitted at this time: RECOMMENDATIONS 80-1. The water heater should be protected against over -pressure and high temperature conditions with an ASME-approved pressure -temperature relief valve with a test lever. 80-2. The clutter around the forced -air furnace in the back room shoud be cleared away from the furnace to remove a source of combustible material from a source of ignition. 80-3. Since the courtroom is used in the evenings by various members of the public, exits should be marked with lighted exit signs. 80-4. The doorway between the addition garage and the original garage should be marked with a sign warning persons of the steps up into the addition. I thank you for the courtesy extended to me during this survey. If I can be of any further assistance, please do not hesitate to contact this office.

Others present: Councilmen William Agard, J. Frederick Allen, H. William Smith. Absent: Supervisor Bruce M. Payne. Also present: County Representative James A. Mason, Highway Superin- tendent Rolf A. Holtkamp, Town Justice James E. Rice, Jr., Zoning Officer Thomas Ferretti, Bookkeeper Aileen Beers, Thomas Reitz, Martin Luster, Catherine and M. Budd Stover, Town Clerk Marilyn E. Ough. Mr. Allen moved, seconded by Mr. Smith, the minutes of the February 10, 1981 meeting, as typed and distributed to Board members, be approved. Voted and unanimously carried. Board members previously examined the following claim vouchers: General Fund Nos. 44 through 73 $ 6370.05 Highway Fund Nos. 39 through 55 7259.39 Part Town Fund Nos. 7 through 8 23.10 Fire Protection No. 1 5250.00 Mr. Agard moved the claims, as submitted, be approved for payment by the Deputy Supervisor. Mr. Allen seconded the motion, voted and unanimously carried. Justice James E. Rice, Jr. reported on the Association of Towns Annual Meeting he attended in New York City last month. He showed the agenda listing meetings for the advanced schooling of all Town Officials. He was impressed by the State Comptroller and Attorney General when they spoke at the opening session and the Governor also spoke at a luncheon. Mr. Rice outlined the many advantages in belonging to the Association of Towns and that our membership money is well spent. He asked the Board to consider a resolution requesting our Legislators and the Governor to pass and sign the bill to increase the amount of Court fees returned to the Towns. He also stated that personally and as a Justice he favored continu- ing with the S.P.C.A. for Ulysses Dog Control services. A discussion followed on the need for the Board to learn about and take action on IRS Revenue Procedure 80-55 enacted in December 1980. Mr. Herrick stated that if allowed to stand it would increase the cost of municipal borrowing. Mr. Agard asked that a resolution be prepared for consideration at the next Board meeting. Mr. Mason reported on the County Board meeting held yesterday at the airport. Until access into the Court House is resolved future day meetings will be at the airport and evening ones at the Tompkins County Library. The proposal for handicap access to the Court House getting the most support is an elevator through the main stairwell. However, there would still be the problem of getting into the build- ing. An exterior elevator would not service the recessed top floor. He stated a sincere effort is being made to make all of the Court House accessable to everyone. He mentioned the lawsuit against Chartair over contested rentals - their lease expires in 1985. He also wanted the Board to be aware that Mr. Hilker is telling other Towns that he has made arrangements for a kennel in the Town of Ulysses. He stated his concern over the computerizing of the Welfare Roll with its potential for invasion of privacy. Mr. Mason was enthusiastic about a County Government Internship Program, • sponsored by Cooperative Extension, with three local high school students participating. Bruce Bennett is working with Edward Conley, Buffy Kahn with John Marcham and Krista Pegnetter with Mr. Mason. Mr. Agard moved, seconded by Mr. Smith, the following resolution be adopted: WHEREAS: on December 9, 1980 the Town Board of Ulysses adopted a joint resolution with the Covert Town Board author- izing a Fire Protection Contract with the Village of Trumansburg subject to receipt of financial information from the Village of Trumansburg to support Budget request, and WHEREAS: Councilmen Agard and Smith met with the Village of Trumansburg to secure the requested information, and WHEREAS: the Town Board considered a request to modify the Contract payment schedule from annual to quarterly payments, now Ulysses Town Board 3-10-81 page 2 76 THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED: that item 3 of the Fire Protection Contract be modified to read "said payment will be made in four quarterly instalment payments payable March 31, June 30, September 30 and December 31", and FURTHER RESOLVED: that Deputy Supervisor Robert C. Herrick be authorized to execute the modified Fire Protection Contract with the Village of Trumansburg, and FURTHER RESOLVED: the Village of Trumansburg be requested to research further, in future determinations, to divide more equitably the costs of Fire Protection among participating municipalities. Adopted Mr. Agard Aye Mr. Allen Aye Mr. Smith Aye ® Mr. Herrick Aye Mr. Reitz reported on his two hour meeting with Bill Brothers and tour of the S.P.C.A. facilities (copy attached). He questioned whether the repeal of Section 108, subdivision 2, effective 1-1-80 defining "At Large" affected our Local Law No. 1 for 1979, Section 3, Item A with the same definition of "At Large"? This will be checked with Town Attorney Golder. He called attention to: 1. Newly enacted Tompkins County Local Law No. 1 for 1981 that adds to the $10.00 for first dog impoundment a $3.00 fee for each additional 24 hour or part thereof following the first 24 hours of first impoundment. 2. There is no authority for the S.P.C.A. to take possession or dispose of dogs voluntarily surrendered by owners. This must be done by local law or ordinance. Mr. Luster brought the Board up to date on the status of the Senior Citizens housing project and the stages gone through since notification last October of approval of the loan application. The Federal Government is irrevocably committed to loan $1,400,000 for the project and, being conservative, Mr. Luster stated he expects construction to be underway by July 1st with completion estimated in a year. Mr. Holtkamp read a letter from Seymour Disposal Service (copy attached) offering an alternative to the expensive hauling of spring clean-up to Landstrom. They would supply open -top, roll -off containers to be set up at the Town Barns for use by Town of Ulysses residents during spring clean-up days May 2 - 10, 1981. A discussion followed on savings to the Town even with having someone on site during daylight hours and the two weekends to insure proper dumping. Mr. Smith moved, seconded by Mr. Agard, voted and unanimously carried, that the Town accept Mr. Seymour's proposal and that there be newspaper publicity to notify towns- people of the reason for change, procedure to be followed and time schedule. Next, discussion centered on ways to lower heating cost at the Town barn. Some figures and/or information was available on types of stoves, chimney construction and heat dampers but decision on course of action was tabled until next meeting pending complete information on all alternatives. Mr. Herrick announced receipt of request for nominees to the • Tompkins Community Hospital Corporation. March 24th is the dead- line for submitting names. The Corporation will be electing three new Directors to the Hospital Board of Directors at the April 30th Annual Meeting. Mr. Herrick read a resolution opposing the Governor's proposal affecting current efforts to reduce driving while intoxicated on public highways. This was passed at the February 18th joint meeting of the Ithaca -Tompkins County Transportation Commission and the Tompkins County Traffic Safety Board. Attorney Martin Luster urged the Town adopt the resolution using even stronger language. He indicated strides were being made noting the drama- tic decrease in DWI arrests in the last six months. Mr. Ferretti agreed there had been a significant decrease. Mr. Agard moved, seconded by Mr. Smith, adoption of the following resolution: RESOLVED: the Ulysses Town Board is opposed to the Governor's suggestion to keep taverns open all night, and that food stores be allowed to sell wine and liquor. r Meeting with Bill Brothers (S.P.C.A.) on 2/19/81 1. How many dogs are licensed in Town of Ulysses? Information is available with Town Clerk - did not have idea of the number at that time. I- 2. What is the estimation o,Ptotal dogs in Town of Ulysses? Enumeration of dogs was done in Summer and Fall of 1980; SPCA feels approximately over 80% were counted. Therefore take total dogs licensed and add 20% on that total. 3. How besides house to house investigation could enumeration be enacted? The state is sending to the SPCA and each Town a computer print out of each t.a& ¢ Ea n owner in alphabetic order who have a licensed dog. With this list a enumeration could be done by spot checking or by vehicle from the road. The health department has in the last couple of years permitted the SPCA to monitor the Rabies clinics tag information. .Due to the accuracy of the count in 1980 higher priorities with greater cost/benefit ratio are enacted by the SPCA in 1981. 4. What is the estimated average life expectancy of dogs in rural and village areas? Dogs generally live to be in excess of 10 years old depending on area and living habits. •Where high traffic exists and dogs run loose many are killed by vehicles thereby lowering average life. The people who spend the money to license their dogs are more responsbile towards their animals and take care not to let them run loose to be picked up by the SPCA•or hit by a vehicle. Our local dog control ordanance is effective in this means. 5. What other non -dog problems exists in the Town of Ulysses that the SPCA covers? Basically the first responsibility is towards dogs, however, many complaints also cover problems with cats, farm animals and wildlife. Cruelity to animals, as: farm animals not properly taken care of and wildlife as skunks, raccoons, birds entering buildings that are unwanted guests are non -dog related problems. 6. What are your capture methods of loose dogs? The means to contain an animal are done either by tranquilizing the animal, using cages with bait or the best means is using psychological (non -threatening) actions by the officers. Occasionally officers will take their own pet (female dog) with them to attract other loose dogs. 7. Has enforcement of the right of seizure of dogs on owners premises caused a legal problem? The normal procedure would be to get a court order and be able to proceed. The dog control officers are "peace" officers and are covered with legal rights, however, public relations are often foremost in their actions. bill Brothers Mtg. fly : 2 8. What is the time a dog is held after the animal is seized? State law requires 5 days the dogs be held - however, normally the SPCA will make every attempt to locate the owner and normally the dogs are held longer. Many times if the SPCA feels the animal is adoptable they hold it for a substantial time. 9. If a dog is loose and injured, eg. car -dog accident, what happens to the animal and who is responsible for costs? The SPCA will take the dog (with agreement with Cornell) to their small animal clinic and stablize the animal. The identification and notification of the owner also takes place immediately but the first responsibility is to the animal. When the owner is notified they are responsible for cost and decision how extensive medical treatment are needed. If the animals owner is not identified, the SPCA absorbs the costs. If repairs are more than just stabilizing the animal then Cornell absorbs the costs. 10. What size staff has the SPCA and what is the capacity of their buldings? The SPCA has a paid staff of 7 - some full time - some part time and a long lists of volunteers. The building has kennel space for 24 dog.runs (often. with 2 dogs in a run),30 cat cages, a puppy room for 12 puppies, an isolation room for sick animals, yard area for large animals (as, horses or cows), office space and garage. There is also an answering service after business hours and radio communications with the field personnel. .11. Would the SPCA approve the requirement on tattooing the dogs? The SPCA Board of Directors has taken no position. The combination of the tattooing and tag is favored by many since the tattoo would be placed on the inside of the rear leg of the animal. On many male dogs it would be difficult to control the animal to read the number and regrowth of hair is also a problem. 12. What are the requirements for a "purebred" dog license and who established the criteria? The state law did in Article 7 section 109 subdivision 2. 13. Should cats be licensed? The original law back in the 1800s had dogs licensed so when depredation on livestock occurred the owner of the dog could be identified. This is still true today and money from dogs can only be used for dog control. Cats are not licensed in Tompkins County since the depredation to domestic livestock does not cause a problem. Also Tompkins County provides money for non -dog related problems as part of the County budget. 14. What happens to the animals bodies euthanized by the SPCA? We have an agreement with Cornell University to cremate the bodies. 6 In further discussion with Town clerks'office their are approximately -616. dogs licensed if we add 20% on that, their would be approximately 9 total dogs in Town of Ulysses. If we handled the enumeration and recieved 500/dog`"the amount would only add $61.50. However, if we paid mileage to enumerator at 200/mile and drove 120 miles it would cost $24.00 for a net profit of $37.50-($61.50 -2400) ♦! ly Tompkins County S.P.C.A. • 1640 Hanshaw Road Ithaca, New York 148S0 .1 607 257-i82f' AN D� � ti � 6 5' F ail ANNUAL REPORTS ,( f1,.O f(, v f>.Z lff (•2_.o fj.2 1974 1975 1976 1977 1978 1979 1980 1981 'OTAL ANIMALS HANDLED. 4316 5679 5859 5834 5541 5555 5625 TOTAL DOGS HANDLED 2522 3172 3504 3717 3721 3354 3386 COUNTY STRAY 899 1041 1243 1408 1363 1262 1517 CITY STRAY 337 415 675 793 958 . 680 ' 719 SURRENDERED 1286 1716 1586 1516 1400' 1262 1033* TOTAL CATS HANDLED 1794 2507 2355 2117 1820 1910 1879 TOTAL DOGS ADOPTED 488 492 692 735 679' 708 '686 TOTAL DOGS CLAIMED 345 552 740 802 1207 1350 1499 TOTAL CATS ADOPT/CLAIM 357 360 509 491 617 606 684 TOTAL COMPLAINT RESPONSES 1932 2216 2710 2814 2724 2716 3104 :RUELTY INVESTIGATIONS 137 82 99 (EHICLES MILES 50,115 47,414 49,850 53,782 63,060 75,902 98,251 _DST & FOUND REPORTS 4970 4555 5261 )OG NEUTER REFUNDS (@$10) $1330 $2170 $2260 :AT NEUTER REFUNDS (@$ 6) $ 636 $612 $ 972 *1033 dogs were surrendered for adoption.

For all practical purposes, Governor Carey has retracted these positions. Obviously, such suggestions would have very little support; however, I believe that they were made as a forerunner to casino gambling. In order for that to be a viable enterprise, It is necessary for liquor to be sold all night. Perhaps we have not heard the last of this idea.

Mr. Stillions opened the hearing by requesting the secretary take a roll call and read the legal notice stativiy purpose of the hearing, as well a:G a suporting letter from Mr. Hurd. Mr. Stillions then asked Mr. Hurd for further explanation of his plans for the two apartments. Mr. Hurd said the County Health Department has approved a sewage system for the property at 600 Jacksonville Road and that at the same time a new sewage system would be installed for his property at 1860 Trumansburg Road which adjoins the Jacksonville Road property. (It was brought out that the owners of the antique store standing between the property at 600 Jacksonville • Road and 1860 Trumansburg Road, owned by Mr. and Mrs. Casciotti, has no other land connected with it but that they have use of a sewage sysa tern on land owned by Mr. Hurd by former agreement). Mr. Hurd reported that the Health Department says the drain field for sewage system used by the Casciotti's cannot be tampered with. Mr. Hurd said he would comply with the Health Department's restrictions. Mrs. Duddleston spoke questioning the dangerous conditions relative to parking and traffic at that corner. Mr. Parke also questioned the convenience of the parking spaces Mr. Hurd said he is planning for the occupants of the two apartments, saying he believed the incon- vience of access to parking at the rear of the lots would cause residents to park in front of the property at 598 and 600 Jacksonville Road. Mr. Farrell asked if there was sufficient space back of the two houses to permit parking and snow removal at the same time. Mr. Hurd said he believed there was sufficient space. Mrs. Kennerson read a statement to the Board (copy attached) in which she remarked that parking conditions at that corner are "almost suicial at time for the residents using this road". Mrs. Robinson also spoke about the parking situation and agreed this was a dangerous • corner. Mr. Reitz spoke for the Jacksonville Association who asked him to question: the water drainage in that area, the sewer facilities, who would be renting the apartments (families or students) and the water and sewer capacities for the additional number of persons occupying the apartments, the fire hazard; he also asked if it would be possible to create a "no parking" area in front of the 598 and 600 Jacksonville Road properties. Mr. Ferretti said he had denied the building permit on the basis of inadequate square footage of the property in question since it is not in compliance with the Zoning Ordinance requirements.

Mr. Agard seconded the motion, voted and unanimously carried. Mr. Mason reported on topics addressed at the Board of Representa- tives meeting the previous morning: A. Hospital reopening psychiatric unit. B. Consultant selected for a preliminary review and design on the steam regeneration facility. C. Narrowed to two choices the site for an elevator in the Court House. Either the south fire stairwell or core of main stairwell. Today at a joint committee meeting of Public Safety and Corrections and Personnel recommendations were forthcoming to: a. Make the District Attorney a full time position (now 96%) bringing it under State control with the same salary as County Judge. b. Increase the County Clerk's salary in steps over the next three years. The Board of Representatives salary was discussed but no recommen- dations were made. Miss Elizabeth Nicol addressed the Board, as a member of the League of Women Voters, with regard to beverage container legislation. She read a proposed resolution that is being presented to Town Boards across the State seeking their support. She also shared additional information. In the discussion that followed it was noted that yesterday Suffolk County had passed deposit legislation - the first in New York State. Mr. Herrick moved, seconded by Mr. Allen, adoption of the following resolution: WHEREAS: carbonated soft-drink, beer, and ale bottles and cans create problems of litter; are a hazard to pedestrians, vehicles, and animals; add to the amount of municipal solid waste; and deplete our finite stock of natural resources, especially energy; and WHEREAS: requiring a mandatory deposit on all carbonated bever- age containers sold in the State of New York would to a great extent alleviate these detrimental conditions; and WHEREAS: landfill space in Tompkins County is limited and may be unavailable sooner than previously expected; and WHEREAS: the glass recycling program formerly run by Challenge Industries in the City of Ithaca has recently ended; and WHEREAS: the siting of a solid waste energy -recovery facility is under consideration in Tompkins County, and removing beverage containers from the waste stream would make such a facility more efficient; and WHEREAS: proposed legislation considered in the New York State Legislature in 1979-B0 (Senate 2153-A and Assembly 2822- A) would not require a change to refillable bottles or affect non -beverage food containers, but would only Ulynnea Town Board 4-14-8.1 page 2 require a deposit on all carbonated beverage containers, thereby providing an economic incentive to return them to stores whore bought rather than to throw them away; and WHEREAS: the institution of such proposed legislation is not expected to have a detrimental effect on the State's economy or overall work force; and WHHEREAS: it is easier and more appropriate to deal with beverage container deposit legislation on the State rather than the local level; now THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED: that the Ulysses Town Board does support the enactment of State legislation similar to the 1979-80 Senate 2153-A and Assembly 2.822-A which ® would require a deposit on all carbonated beverage containers sold in the State of New York, and FURTHER RESOLVED: this resolution will take effect immediately. Adopted Mr. Agard Aye Mr. Allen Aye Mr. Herrick Aye Mr. Smith Aye Mr. Payne Aye Mr. Cox reported that the House Numbering Committee has been getting fine cooperation.

This action was taken under the authority of Section 12 of the Town Law. It was necessary that that Resolution be posted and published within ten (10) days, and a search of the records of the Town and of local newspapers indicates ® that no such publication or posting occurred. In addition, Town Law Section 12 required that certi- fied copies of the Resolution, and an affidavit of the Town Clerk stating that no Petition requesting a refer- endum had been submitted, must be filed in both the • office of the Department of State and the Department of Audit and Control. No certified copies of the Resolu- tion, or affidavit of the Town Clerk, were so filed. These omissions are regarded as jurisdictional defects, and the Town did not become a Town of the first class. Under Section 227 of the County Law your Board has the power to legalize and validate acts of municipalities wholly within the County, after a public hearing, etc. The Town of Ulysses prays that the procedure set forth in the County Law be undertaken and a legalizing act adopted by your Board. Attached to this Petition are certified copies of all acts done and proceedings had in relation to the matter sought to be legalized and, for your information, a copy of Opinion No. 81 - 69 of the State Comptroller." and FURTHER RESOLVED: that the above petition be executed by Supervisor Bruce M.

Mr. Clayton Smith read a petition signed by 36 residents on DuBois Road. They called attention to the various spellings of their road and asked the Board to officially recognize the correct spelling as DuBois. it was pointed out that in this computer age and with property changes it was imperative that there be just one accepted • spell ing. Mr. Agard moved, seconded by Mr. Herrick, adoption of the following resolution: WHEREAS: there have been several variations on the spelling of DuBois Road causing confusion to exist, now THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED: that the Ulysses Town Board offi- cially recognize as the correct spelling of the name of County Road #140 as DuBois Road, and FURTHER RESOLVED: that all pertinent agencies and utilities be so notified. Adopted Mr. Agard Aye Mr. Allen Aye Mr. Herrick Aye Mr. Smith Aye Mr. Payne Aye Mrs. Arles Robinson stated that nothing has been done to correct the dangerous situation in Jacksonville. Since DOT remarked Route Petition April, 1981 The Town Board. Town of Ulysses, Tompkins County We, the undersigned, wish to call the attention of the Board to the variations in spelling of the name of county road This road joins route #96 at Indian Creek and runs about four miles north to Willow Creek. The road is named after the Peter Du Bois (Du Bwa) Family whose farm is now known as the Dean farm on the corner of the terry city road. Over the years various corruptions in the pronunciation have lead to at least three incorrect ways of spelling the name. The road sign at the intersection of route #96 correctly spells the name as Du Bois. All other signs on the"road are spelled Du Boise. The county assesment map lists the road as Du Boice. the town map shows the road as Du Boise. Mail is received under': all these spellings plus others such as Du Boize. While the correct pronunciation is "Du:Bwa" this very worthy french name has suffered to be pronounced "Du Boyss", "Du Boyzz" , and also " Duh Boyzz. The petitioners realize that the Board cannot control the pronunciation of the name. We ask, however, that the Board officially recognize the correct spelling as "Du Bois". Further that the Board notify all pertinent agencys of such fact. /4 i S Olt Flo_ oA l ¶1 — 1' / • Attachment ,'# 1 To petition re. Du Bole.

It was noted that a NYSE&G representa- tive anticipates a 25% heat savings with the proposed renovations. The Board requested additional estimates be secured before a decision is made.

Install two vent dampers in shop. 3. Styrofoam overhead door windows and other windows. Mr. Payne referred to a letter received from the Association of Towns of the State of New York with regard to the Revenue Sharing Program. Mr. Herrick moved, seconded by Mr. Smith, adoption of the following resolution: WHEREAS: the Governor has proposed to freeze permanently the amount of state revenue sharing at the 1979 level, and WHEREAS: this "freeze" will do away with the sharing concept forcing the real property taxpayer to bear an ever- increasing portion of the town budget, and WHEREAS: given the current inflationary trends the real property tax burden could be crippling causing town programs, personnel and services to be drastically slashed, now THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED: that the Ulysses Town Board, by means of this resolution, urge our State Legislators to restore State Revenue Sharing.

He also noted receipt of the lists of Election Inspectors appointed through the Board of Elections. Mrs. Ough read the names of those appointed (listed below). Mr. Herrick moved, seconded by Mr. Allen, that the Town Board reaffirm the list of Election Inspectors. Voted and unanimously carried.

Mr. Payne spoke of receiving a letter from Gust Freeman regarding a Ulysses Representative to the County Youth Board noting that Veronica Gregoire -Cope had resigned. Mr. Herrick moved, seconded by Mr. Allen, that Susan Perkins be appointed the Ulysses Representative to the Tompkins County Youth Board filling the unexpired term ending December 31, 1982. Voted and unanimously carried. On May 13th, 1981 Mr. Payne, Mr. Reitz and Mrs. Ough attended the first meeting of the Town/SPCA/County Liaison Committee in the County Board of Representatives room at the Court House. Mrs. Ough read proposed resolution that was passed by the majority of Towns repre- sented and the County of Tompkins representative. The resolution stated that beginning in 1982 it would be the responsibility of each Town for dog enumeration. The SPCA agrees, upon completion of enumera tion, $.75 per dog be paid out of the dog monies to each Township. In the discussion that followed on whether the $.75 was adequate Mr. Herrick stated it should be $1.00. Mr. Reitz said the nearly com- pleted house numbering and list of licensed dogs would speed enumera- tion. The consensus was that Fall would be the best time to enumerate especially on the Boulevard. Mr. Reitz noted the recent high increase in the spaying/neutering fee when adopting an animal at the SPCA. This supposedly will encourage new owners to have their animals spayed or neutered with the fee paid directly to the veterinarian offsetting cost of same. He again mentioned that the Town has not passed a resolution authorizing the SPCA to handle or dispose of voluntarily surrendered dogs. Mrs. Beers discussed the State Health Insurance Plan rate increase (of almost 40%) effective July 1st. Proposed legislation would permit experience rating by geographic location - the present state-wide, uniform premium, rate includes New York City and this causes the continual increases in premium every six months. The possibility of a self-insurance Health Plan for Tompkins County, similar to one in Broome County, is being explored. Mrs. Beers reported that representatives of the County Personnel Department met with Supervisor's staff on June 3, 1981 to review positions filled and those vacant in the Township and also reviewed new procedures being established by their office. They recommended abolishing the following positions: One Constable Two Motor Equipment Operators (The County has six MEO positions on line for us, four of which are filled, two excess at this time.) Two Laborers (The County has three positions for us, one of these f July 1, 1981 Honorable Bruce M.

Montgomery requesting permission to attend a seminar for court administration at St. Lawrence University, Canton, New York on July 21-23, 1981. Mr. Allen moved, seconded by Mr. Herrick, that permission be granted to Justice Montgomery to attend seminar, voted and unanimously carried. Mrs. Ough reported the Tompkins Employees Federal Credit Union received approval that day from the National Credit Union Administra- tion to amend their charter to include the Towns of Ulysses and Ithaca, All Town of Ulysses employees (including those retired), elected and appointed officials and members of their families are eligible to join. Office manager Roberta Chiesa would like to meet with those interested in joining, or getting information on, the Credit Union. She would also like to meet with Mrs. Beers regarding set up for those desiring payroll deductions. Zoning Officer Thomas Ferretti reported traveling 178 miles and the issuance of five building permits during May. Three accusatories have been given the Town Justice for summons. He has set up two BZA hearings for June 30th and has received many calls regarding lot and land requirements. He has checked on past building permits where construction is underway and noted Mr. Markowitz did clean up his property and also hired an exterminator to get rid of possible rats. Highway Supt. Rolf Holtkamp gave his highway report for May and noted they had mowed all roads once, cleaned and mowed all cemeteries before Memorial Day, replaced three driveway culverts, covering all roads once a week and patching as needed. The legislature is still working on the State Aid Highway plan which would mean the same or more money with less restrictions. Mrs. Ough reported on licenses issued in May for a total income of $484.25 (report on file in the Supervisor's office) and also that the Tax Roll was returned to the County June 3rd with final payment of $14555.54 to the County and $318.37 in penalty fees paid to the Supervisor.

Mr. and Mrs. Dean, residents of Curry Road, questioned the safety of spraying herbicides around mailboxes and guardposts, especially near streams, and asked if this was essential and could the property owners be notified before application. In the discussion that followed Mr. Holtkamp explained the procedure and stated that if areas around posts and mailboxes were kept clear there would be no need to spray. Mr. Cox noted the open house June 6th at the Seymour Disposal Service site and was informed that Mrs. Beers, Mr. Herrick and Mr. Smith had attended. Mr. Herrick commented on the operation as being well maintained and according to DEC one of the best in New York State.

Ough Town Clerk Taking precautions against peddlers By DEBBIE BURTON Peddlers, hawkers and solicitors will find strider laws in Tompkins County, according to James A. Mason, county representative (R —Ulysses). Macon, during the Ulysses Town Board meeting on June 9, said the new and more stringent laws will provide more control,. especially for transient people selling and buying gold and silver. The new law requires a license and permit from the sheriff's of- fice and the right to investigate the applicant and ask for referen- ces. Also, the $100 fine was in- creased to $1,000. "I hope people will take the opportunity (to alert police) if they have trouble with transient sellers," Mason said. Town board member Bob Herrick said the public should be made aware of the new law by publishing it in readable, and not necessarily legal, form. He also said he has seen many peo- ple, mostly elderly, forced into buying from transient peddlers, so the sellers would lave their homes.. . "Intimidation is a common practice," Herrick said about the peddlers who tend to appear this time of.year. In other board news, Toby and Marion Dean of Curry Road asked the board about the safety of us- ing herbicides to control weeds around mailboxes and guard posts along highways. The Deem were concerned about the chemicals finding their way into streams near the roads and also the dispo- sal of the used containers. Marion Dean said that last year she noticed large brown spots near their seek and had heard of other people complain- ing about planted flowers around mailboxes turning brown from the herbicides. Rolf Holtkamp, highway supers. intendant, said applicators are li- censed and must adhere to strin- gent guidelines. He said that when. properly used the herbicides would affect only about 12 inches around the guard posts and mail boxes. He added the town is liable for the upkeep of those areas. Holtkamp said he will do his best this year to have the chemicals sprayed pro- perty. "Let me know If you aren't happy with the resultefrom this continued on page 20 Town board, taking precautions continued from page 1 year," he said. In other business: —The "No Parking" signs on the west side of Route 89 near Glenwood Pines Restaurant will be removed. Town Board Super- visor Bob Payne said restaurant owner, Mr. Hohwald, and the sheriff's office agreed that the no parking signs wore unneces- sary. —Marilyn Ough, town board clerk, said that since 1978 she has written 17 permits for handi- capped parking, and 14 of those permits were given this year. She added that the increase probably is due to the awareness that the permits are available through her office. —Susan Perkins has become the now representative to the Tompkins County Youth Board, replacing Ricky Gregoire -Cops, who recently resigned. —Holtkamp said, after study- ing bids for bituminous liquid to paw 1.22 miles of town roadway, the Nell I. Guiles Excavating Co., .Ins. of Vestal was selected.

The drawings show an elevation and plan of the front of the building and a head jamb and sill detail to install a fiberglass insulated panel which will still transmit light into the space behind it. This material will give you a U factor of .15 and a R factor of 6.6. Glass block, which was the other alternative I suggested, would cost more and not give any better insulating factor. I also have enclosed a copy of one manufacturer's literature and a copy of a quotation from Sullivan Sales of Syracuse to supply you the materials at a discounted rate less sales tax. That is delivered to the site. As I mentioned, the installation is simple and your own maintenance or town crews could remove the existing glass and frames and install these panels. The material cost would be below the $3,000 you indicated limited your direct purchasing capability. I believe this would help solve some of your heat loss, give you resistance against heat gain and still maintain the appearance of the building in much its present mode. )cT r' Please note that Sullivan Sales is holding their price until the .12th. Part of our delay in this was due to our trying to get materials and prices from Kalwall, a competitor to the New England Pacific Corporation. I'll review the materials and my suggestions with you at any convenient time. Very truly yours, NTOtf J. EGN RA ASSOCIATES Anton J.

Sincerely yours, Ulysses Town Board 7-14-81 page 2 El LJ WHEREAS: Mrs. Veronica Gregoire -Cope has submitted her resigna- tion as Town of Ulysses Representative on the Tompkins County Youth Bureau Board effective April 15, 1981, now THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED: that the Ulysses Town Board accept, with regret, Mrs. Gregoire-Cope's resignation, and FURTHER RESOLVED: that by means of this resolution the Ulysses Town Board express appreciation to Mrs. Gregoire -Cope for her efforts on behalf of the youth and the Town of Ulysses. Adopted Mr. Agard Aye Mr. Allen Aye Mr. Herrick Aye Mr. Payne Aye Mr. Cox, Chairman of the house numbering committee, announced com- pletion of all the basic work and placement of house numbering index file in the Town Clerk's office. The alphabetical and numerical print-out of the Town is expected about August 1st. He outlined problem areas and noted the 20 or so copies of the listing would be made on the Town copier. He thanked the Board for their cooperation and gave accolades to Nancy MacCarrick for a job well done. Mr. Payne introduced Miss Nancy B. Zahler, Director of Tompkins County Youth Bureau. She outlined services the Bureau could provide including funding application procedure - helping with the paper- work, holding workshops, exchanging ideas etc. She was pleased with the appointment of Susan Perkins as Ulysses Representative. Ms. Perkins thanked the Board for her nomination to the Youth Bureau Board. She spoke of the publicity generated by the article on Ulysses Youth Unlimited in the Saturday Ithaca Journal. Their second quarter report will be available the end of the week and she had the forms for reimbursement to the Town so that funds should be back by month end. Mr. Holtkamp reported on Highway Department activities for June. He noted they had mowed all roads and patched where needed; helped the County two days - T21 (Mack); mowed all cemeteries again; re- paired starter on T21 (Mack); swept, marked and started to pave Garrett Road - top coat will be put on in August. The 1971 Mack has arrived. On June 29th nine street signs were found broken off and left. They have been repaired and the poles greased to deter any future similar escapades. In answer to a question regarding South Street Extension bridge, Mr. Holtkamp stated it looks like it would not be done until next year since it takes 90 days to complete. Mr. Agard commended the Fire Department for their quick response Saturday afternoon when his baler caught fire. Because of their fast action he was able to be back in operation the following day. Mrs. Ough read Zoning Officer Thomas Ferretti's report for June. Three building permits were issued, two Board of Zoning Appeals hearings were held and both applications approved. It appears the three summoned before Justice Montgomery will comply with the Zoning Ordinance and no further Court/Town action will be necessary. He had numerous calls and spent time on patrol (total of 221 miles). • Mrs. Ough reported on licenses issued during June (on file in the Supervisor's office) for a total income of $484.25. She announced that a representative of the Tompkins Employees Federal Credit Union will meet with those interested in joining or finding out more about same on Tuesday night •, 7-28-81. Field Representative Joseph Luppino of the Department of Agriculture & Markets checked the Clerk's dog licensing procedures and filed a favorable Municipal Compliance Re- port.

In response to his question on what to do with the Case - which can be used as a farm tractor - the Board decided to run an ad offering it for sale. In the absence of. Mr. Ferretti, Mrs. Ough read the Zoning report for July. Fourteen building permits were issued - five of them for new homes. No complaints were received from citizens this month. Because of the many requests during the last year Mr. Ferretti requested the Town Board, through the Planning Board, check into the feasibility of allowing mobile homes, with restrictions. (Complete text attached) Mrs. Ough reported on licenses issued during July (copy in Supervisor's office). A.T.C. franchise fee for 1980 of $151.61 was included in total income of $946.36. The twelve marriage licenses issued set a record - the previous monthly high was eight. The Final Assessment Roll for 1981 has been received and filed in the Clerk's office.

The groundwork being done for Cable TV in the Senior Citizen Housing. They are also ready to proceed with the Trailer Park after meeting with Mr. Auble. He brought the Board up to date on the status of house numbering print- out sheets and requested that each Clerk in the County be given a copy of the final listing. Mr. Reitz reported on the July 15th and 29th meetings with the SPCA. A tentative agreement was passed for each Town to retain $1.50 per issued dog license with the stipulation that enumeration be undertaken by the Towns at least once every two years. Mrs. Ough explained why the Clerks were not in favor of the proposal. The Towns now retain $.50 per dog licensed to cover Clerk expenses. To cover enumeration the Towns originally requested an additional $1.00 per dog enumerated. In the past we have paid an enumerator per dog ® enumerated. Since there are always more dogs enumerated than licensed it will necessitate additional followup by the Clerks - as we did prior to the new licensing system - to keep the income up to cover enumeratio costs. That with the new computer system from the State increases the Clerks workload. In answer to Mr. Payne's request for thoughts on mobile homes, Mr. Herrick said he would like to get feedback from the community voicing their pros and cons. Mr. Payne noted that any changes in the Zoning ordinance would require a public hearing and also there were other items in the Zoning Ordinance that need addressing. He said he would contact Gary Evans and pass information on to the Planning Board. Mrs. Wooden addressed the Board saying they were interested in having a trailer installed on their 17 acres of land.

Ma Ough Town Clerk I J LI ULYSSES TOWN BOARD SPECIAL MEETING August 24, 1981 The special meeting of the Ulysses Town Board was called to order at 4 p.m. in the Town Hall by Supervisor Bruce M. Payne. Others pres- ent: Councilmen William Agard, J. Frederick Allen, Robert C. Herrick, H. William Smith. Also present: Town Attorney Arthur J. Golder, Highway Superintendent Rolf A. Holtkamp, Bookkeeper Aileen Beers, Carl Cox, Thomas Reitz, George Pokorney, Earl Richar, Richard Garner, Arlee Robinson, Martin Luster, Free Press reporter Debbie Burton, Ithaca Journal Reporter Joe Schwartz, Representative from WTKO, Deputy Town Clerk Carolyn Duddleston and others not identified. The meeting was opened by Town Attorney Golder's explanation of First Class Town status and the necessity of passing a local law, subject to a mandatory referendum, in order to make the office of Receiver of Taxes and Assessments appointive instead of elective. In the discus- sion that followed Mr. Luster noted that in the 1972 resolution declaring Ulysses a First Class Town the list of elective offices did not include Tax Receiver and wondered about the legality of this action and why it was being considered now. Mr. Golder answered it was the safest way of doing it. Mrs. Robinson questioned the confusion, to voters, on the ballot in November with candidates for Tax Receiver and a Referendum doing away with the elective position. Mr. Golder's answer was to not run any candidates and then if the law is voted down the Board would have the power to appoint someone for the ensuing year. Mr. Pokorney questioned the additional cost to the Town of the added position - couldn't the Clerk handle the job since her work load is light January through March? He also would like to see the job posted so the public could apply. Mr. Payne ended the discussion by setting a Public Hearing on the matter for September lst,1981 at 4 p.m. in the Town Hall. There was gposition to the afternoon hour so it was changed to 7:30 p.m. A motion to permit the use of Town Roads by Super T -Burg Inc. for ® bicycle races was tabled until the September 8, 1981 Board meeting to enable Mr. Farrell to contact and inform the County. Mr. Herrick moved, seconded by Mr. Allen, voted and unanimously carried, that Mr. Agard and Mr. Smith be appointed as a committee to meet with Trumansburg Mayor Carl Mann, Trustee James Vorp and Fire Chief Jack Fulton to discuss the 1982 Fire Contract. Mr. Herrick moved, seconded by Mr. Agard, that the following resolu- tion be adopted: RESOLVED: that the Supervisor be authorized to pre -pay the vouchersubmitted by American Legion Small Fry Football Team in the amount of $1050.00 Adopted Mr. Agard Aye Mr. Allen Aye Mr. Herrick Aye Mr. Smith Aye Mr. Payne Aye Mr. Payne adjourned the meeting at 4:30 p.m. until September lst, 1981 at 7:30 p.m. • • G1li s. Car yn J. Duddleston Deputy Town Clerk TOWN OF ULYSSES ZONING BOARD OF APPEALS PUBLIC HEARING 1 September 1981 PURPOSE OF HEARING: to consider application of Otto B. Schoenfeld to operate a gravel pit as a small business on his property at DuBois and Wilkins Road, parcels Nos. 33-3-8.2 and 33-3-4.3 under Article VI, Section 3, of the Town of Ulysses Zoning Ordinance. Present at hearing: Zoning Board of Appeals members: Merle Stillions, Chairman, Ferneley Bauchle, Joseph Farrell, William Weitzel, A. Beers, secretary; absent: Adrienne VanDyk. Others present: Zoning Officer Thomas Ferretti, Henry Wuensch, Otto Schoenfeld, applicant, Robert Fendrick, Martha McGraw, Richard Tutton, Catherine Stover, Beach Stover, ® Ben Boynton, Margaret Boynton, Alma Coats, Charles Tutton, Mariam Kennedy, Walter Pagliaro, Carol Pagliaro, Grace Aldrich, Leon Aldrich, Rosalind Kenworthy, Thomas Reitz, Elizabeth Bixler Yanof, attorney, and others. After roll call of Appeals Board members, Mr. Stillions opened the hearing by asking Mr. Schoenfeld to further state his reasons for the special permit request. Mr. Schoenfeld said he had owned the property for years, has had it for sale but has had no buyers, that the land is of no value as farm land, the soil is not good, that he is planning to subdivide the land for housing, is in the process of putting in a road, the area of lots for the subdivision is less than five acres each; that he wished to remove gravel from the property and sell it which would help defray the costs of contructing the road, oiling it, etc. He said the State permits him to take 1,000 tons of gravel without a permit and that he was complying with the State regulations. He also said he has already had removed from 650 to 800 tons of gravel from the property and had stopped when asked to do so by the Zoning Officer. Mr. Schoenfeld estimated there was 50,000 tons of gravel available for sale, but also said the removal r of said gravel would not warrant a commercial operation. Mr. Farrell asked Mr. Schoenfeld the reasons for complaints which have S .. been registered. Mr. Schoenfeld said he did not know of any reasons for the complaints other than the traffic and noise relative to the gravel removal operation. He said it took two hours for trucks to make a round trip. Mrs. Coats said trucks had been going in and out of the property every 20 or 25 minutes all day, and that two trucks had been involved. Mr. Weitzel said there seemed to be conflicting statements as to the frequency of trucks going in and out of the gravel site. Mr. Schoenfeld said he did not know who made the complaining telephone calls. He said the contractor who had been taking gravel from his property was now getting it from Burdette. Mrs. Bauchle asked Mr. Schoenfeld when he planned to start the subdivison development • Mr. Schoenfeld did not answer other than to say he was building the road for same and that the remainder of the gravel would be wasted if he did not sell it, whereas local people could get the excess of what he needs. In answer to Mrs. Bauchle's question about top soil, he said he was keeping it. In answer to a question from Mr. Weitzel, Mr. Schoenfeld said he wanted to sell the gravel to help him defray the cost of finishing the 2/4 mile long road he is planning; he also said he had planned to build a home for himself on the plot. Mr. Stillions asked about possible water problems; there was no direct answer. Mr. Stillions then asked if any one present was in favor of the gravel pit operation. There were no comments in favor.

Mr. Payne read a letter from the Ithaca City School District request- ® ing appointment of a Reuse of Buildings Committee. Mrs. Ough read the resolution passed by the Ithaca City School District on July 21, 1981 "Disposal of Abandoned School Buildings and/or Sites" - Policy #3261. (Copy attached) Mr. Herrick moved, seconded by Mr. Smith, voted and unanimously carried, the following be appointed to the "Reuse of Buildings Committee": Thomas G. Miller, Town Engineer Webb S. Fiser, Planning Board George L. Baker, Glenwood School community Mrs. Paul J. McGraw, Glenwood School community Gary Evans, County Planning Board Mr. Payne related a Searsburg Road resident's difficulty in obtaining good water. He spoke with other area residents and an engineer to obtain approximate costs. To lay an 8" pipe producing 20 lbs. pressure (not enough for fire protection), $125,000; if a pumping station were used add $30,000 and an appropriate sized holding tank would be $125,000. Estimated cost per year - for a 30 year period at 9% - would be approximately $15,000 or $950 per user. • In the discussion that followed it was noted that several Searsburg Road residents were enthused about the prospects of a water district but would surely have second thoughts with the figures presented. The annual rate was based on useage by all residents. Mr. Luster asked if there could be a Shaw Water District - servicing just Ms. Shaw? Mr. Payne stated that if Ms. Shaw had her own 2" water line - a distance of 4200 feet would cost $21,000 for plastic and $56,000 for metal pipe. If others are interested, at the approximated figures, they should petition the Town and/or form a committee to meet with the Board. Mr. Payne spoke of the Supervisors' & County Legislators' Association of the State of New York having their 32nd Annual Winter Conference in Ithaca at the Sheraton Inn on January 17 - 20, 1982.

He noted they are working to solidify relationships with other agencies and the two Clinical Psychologists, in residence, are primar- ily focusing on counseling. He quoted statistical information (copy of report attached) and stated they are the most cost effective program in the County. In answer to questions he said: 1. The Youth Employment Service was successful but they had a need for more jobs to fill. 2. They work with a core of 50 young people plus 50 to 60 others occasionally. Ms. Susan Perkins reported that Ulysses was the only Town that sub- mitted a proposal for a Delinquency Prevention Program to the Youth Board. ®Mr. Payne announced there would be a Public Hearing on Tuesday, September 29th, 1981 at 7:30 p.m. for proposed uses of the approximate $20,000 in 1982 Federal Revenue Sharing Funds. Mr. Holtkamp reported that four people had looked at the Tractor in response to the ad placed last month. There were no offers but he expects some would bid. Mr. Herrick moved, seconded by Mr. Allen, adoption of the following resolution: RESOLVED: that the Town of Ulysses advertise for bids on the 1971 used, Case, Model 470, gas tractor with bid opening to be 7:30 p.m. on September 29, 1981 in the Town Hall. Adopted Mr. Agard Aye Mr. Allen, Aye Mr. Herrick Aye Mr. Smith Aye Mr. Payne Aye Mr. Payne explained the need for the Town Board to meet with the Planning Board, Zoning Officer Thomas Ferretti and Gary Evans of County Planning Department to discuss: 1. Mobile Homes; 2. New State Building Codes that go into effect March 1982; 3. Other items in the present Zoning Ordinance that require consideration for modi- fication. Mr. Herrick recommended the joint meeting be held and it was set for Tuesday, September 15, 1981 at 7:30 p.m. in the Town Hall. There was a consensus that people do not realize there is an alter- native to mobile home park living in Ulysses. Prospective mobile home owners may apply for a Planned Development District according to procedures set forth in the Zoning Ordinance. There is a minimum lot size of three acres, which some felt was discriminatory. Illustrat- ing this, an application for a Planned Development District was sub- mitted to the Town Board by the Woodens. Mrs. Wooden said it had not been a difficult procedure with the only expense $25.00 to the Board of Health for septic system approval. Mr. Agard reported on meeting the previous week with Trumansburg Mayor Carl Mann, Village Trustee James Vorp and Fire Chief Jack Fulton regarding the 1982 Fire Contract. They went over at great length the Fire Department Annual Report for year ending March 31, 1981 and anticipated future expenditures. The projected amount of Town contribution for 1982 is $25,382.00 with an itemized list of • income and expenditures still to be furnished the Board. Mrs. Ough read resignation of Councilman J. Frederick Allen, effective September 30th, 1981. It was accepted with sincere regret by resolution of appreciation for his work and service to the Town. Mr. Herrick moved, seconded by Mr. Agard, adoption of the following resolution: WHEREAS: Councilman J. Frederick Allen has submitted his resigna- tion, effective September 30, 1981, as a member of the Ulysses Town Board, and WHEREAS: Mr. Allen has faithfully served the Town of Ulysses as Councilman for twelve years and Chairman of the Highway Committee for ten years, and WHEREAS: the Town of Ulysses is deeply appreciative for his years of dedicated service, now THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED: that the Ulysses Town Board accept, with sincere regret, the resignation of Councilman YOUTII UNLIA11TED ()t)AIZTFmltlwY 11HPORT I4PItIl. ULYSSES YOUTH UNLIMITED P.O. Box 288 Trumansburg, N.Y. 14886 (607) 387-5235 QUARTERLY REPORT April - June This past quarter has seen the integration of the Special Delinquency Pre- vention Program into a fundamental aspect of the UYU program. The SDPP has firmly established itself in the schools and community and Keith has been very well re- ceived by the kids. The success of this program has opened up a new level of ser- vices which we are now able to offer the area teens. The end of the school year marked the beginning of summer, our busiest time - The swimming program, day hikes and softball are all in demand. We have also seen• several of our teens graduate this year, and hence to some degree from UYU. In addition, several families have moved away from the area. The net effect is that several of our regular UYU'ers aren't around anymore. Nature always fills a vacuum • and we are seeing some new, younger youths starting to come around. Our goal for • the up -coming quarter is to shift our focus to these new kids, and modify ourselves to meet their needs. Following is a more extensive narrative and statistical evaluation of the pro- grams activities this last quarter. Thank you for your time and support • Sincerely, Rick Frost Director UYU July 15,1981 ULYSSES YOUTH UNLIMITED Quarterly Report April - June 1981 The quarterly reports will follow as closely as possible, in a narrative manner, the annual report. All statistical data is presented together at the end of the report. Problem Area A: Informal Counseling — This need is addressed by 3 primary facets of the UYU program. 1. Outreach Program -- With the advent of summer staff - Leslie Aplin, full time youth worker; Ann Norton, part-time youth worker; and Brenda Dow; full time youthworker aid - we have been able to extend our outreach program. Both the youthworkers are working outreach with a number of rural youth. In addition to their one-to-one work, the youthworkers are able to provide transportation to several area youth who otherwise would not be able to participate in UYU activites. School• is out and the weather is warm, so there are more youth "hanging out" in the streets. We are therefore tring to spend more time in the streetr also, to maintain contact and interact with these kids. 2. Drop -in Program -- As we had hoped, with the change over in facilities last quarter, we saw a steady increase in the use of the "center". More kids came by and stayed longer, thus improving the usefulness of the program. This increase continued until the end of school.With the coming of finals and graduation there was a marked drop in the number of kids coming by. Several of our "core" group graduate of left school this year. This opening of opportunities for then has lead many to move away from the center, forthem it is nolonger needed. Several others from our "core" have moved away, either with their families or; with UYU assistance, been placed in alternative housing situations outaide of the UYU area. Altogether about 50% of the core group has been effected. Very recently we have again seen an increase the number kids droping••by, and several new faces coming in. Page 2 UYU Quarterly Report July 15, 1981 The overal effect of all this, in conjunctippwith the addition of Brenda who has freed up a great deal of the other staff's time, has been to focus more upon outreach for the rural kids. 3. School outreach -- School outreach continued until the closing of school. The older kids were focusing upon finals, and younger ones were impatiently awaiting the summer. The overal effect seemed to be a lot of "crazy" kids but no serious problems. The big news for school outreach, and UYU in general, has been the solidification of Keith Getter's Special Delinquency Prevention Program (SDPP). Keith was particularly successful in the junior high, were the vast majority of SDPP referrals were in attendance, becoming a generally accepted figure, both by the faculty and staff, and by the kids. Keith's position has greatly enhanced the UYU program by filling the gap between the relatively short daily contact/short in-depth counseling approach which has traditionally been the UYU mode, and the extended in-depth therapy offered by the UYU psychologist, by offering extended hands-on, one-to-one counseling for a small number of "high risk" youth. Problem Area B: Advocaa -- UYU's relationships with the various agencies in the area has contin to improve. We enjoy particularly good relations with Family and Children Services, Elmira Psychiatric Center, Planned Parenthood, and Probation. We have have also extended contact to Schuyler County Probation. UYU is being called upon to take a great'rpart in post -referral cases, often working very closing with one or more agencies on a case. Problem Area C: Delinquency Prevention -- The UYU program has ofcourse continued in it's efforts toward prevention. However, the big•news in prevention is Keith's program. SDPP is in full swing, and it is clear that the program has made a definet impact on several youth. Recently the local Police have reported a decrease in the number of youtl related crimes and have sighted the UYU program as a primary factor in this reduction. Page 3 UYU Quarterly Report July 15, 1981 Problem Area D: Youth Employment Service -- We have again been pushing the YES program with radio, newspaper adds and posters. There has been an increase in the num- ber of incoming jobs, but they are far short of the demand. Problem Area E: Crisis Intervention -- I am happy to report that there has been no confirmed suicide attempts this quarter. There was concern over the high number of such cares last quarter, and the possibility of it indicating a trend; this does not appear to be the case. Other crisis situations have not dropped off and an increase in homeless kids is to be expected. Problem Area F: Emergency housing -- With the coming of warm weather I would anticipate an increase in the number of youth's leaving home and thus the need for emer- gency housing. Hopefully we will not see the large number of kids with no place to stay we saw last summer. At one point there were 9 youth in the street. The emergency housing program is in close contact with the.Interum Fam- ily program, and the two programs are working in cooperation. Problem Area G: Recreation and Outing Program -- UYU in addition to Wednesday night softball, offers swimming on Tuesday and Thursdays. These activities, for the same reasons as the drop -in center, are not seeing the number of participants we expected. Also, I believe, due to the economic situation large numbers of kids are actively seeking out employment and are thus tied up. SDPP has had two camping trips - one a canoe trip, and one back -pack- ing. The canoe trip focused on 2 kids, where as the back -packing included 5. Both these experiences were very positive for the kids - enhancing their self-image and improving their relationship with Keith. Problem Area 11: Interface with family -- When a 16 year old leaves home, which is his/her legal right, there are very few options open to them. Usually you will see them staying with a number of friends, fretfully looking for work, slowly dropping out of school, sleeping in the streets and being hungry. Finally u Page 4 UYU Quarterly Report July 15, 1981 the kids will either end up on welfare, which is also their right and very often the only resource these youth's have, or else going back home•to the situation which they left. Increasingly, we are tring to intervene do this process as early as possible, attempting when appropriate, to assist the family and youth in improving their abilities to communicate and understand each others needs. The UYU counselor attempts family counseling directly, and if needed, one of the psychologists are brought in, or the family re- ferred.. We are also seeing and increasing the number of parents referring their children to UYU. Rick Frost .^ _ Director, UYU k Ulysses Youth Unlimited Special Delinquency Prevention Program Quarterly Report Summary April - June, 1981 At the end of this quarter, the UYU-SDPP was just 3 weeks young, with March 9, 1981 marking the official implementation date for the program. During these first 3 weeks, the fundamental groundwork necessary to meet the program proposal's objectives was set; I opened communication channels with the Principals of the Junior and Senior High Schools, guidance counselors, the school districts psycholo- gist, teachers, and the village police chief, and from these officials collected a referral list totaling 61 referrals. During this quarter, the UYU-SDPP has firmly found its place with the youth of the Town of Ulysses and the Trumanshurg School District. At present, the program works in-depth with a core group of 7-10 youth's, and relates to at least 25 youth's on the periphery. Tile program provides informal counselling to mostly "at risk" rural youth experiencing mental and emotional distress due to family, living sit- uations, achool, legal and/or social -economic problems. The program is outreach oriented, and extends into the schools, onto the streets, and into the youths' homes. The program focusses mostly on youth's in the Middle school - by getting youth's witl potential problems into counseling situations at a younger age, problems can be pre- vented from developing later on. During this quarter, I have been successful in developing trusting relationship: with these "at risk" youth's through the initiation of various non -threatening activ- ities such as hiking, canoeing, camping, frisbee playing, basketball, ping-pong. These challenging activities often enhance an individuals self-esteem and respect, and when done with others, these activities help build group trust and cooperation. Of the highlights for this quarter, one was a 4 -day canoe trip to the Pine Creek in central Pennsylvania, and another was a 3 -day backpacking trip in Newfield, N.Y. Both of these trips were very positive experiences for the youth's and for the SDPP in that they provided an extended period of time for these "at risk" youth's to en- hance their self-images in context to their relationship to the program. In general, during this quarter the UYU-SDPP has been firmly established within the community, and has been well received by the youth's who are served. In fact, several of the kids regularly ask whether the program will continue through the next year, saying that it helps keep them out of trouble and gives them an acceptable avenue to channel their energies. By filling a gap in UYU programming, the SDPP has strengthened and extended the youth services that UYU provides. Furthermore, present indications from the Trumansburg Police Department point to a decrease in youth crime since the program began. A statistical breakdown of my time is provided for in the UYU director's report.

As a matter of history update; this pond was originally dug in the early 1950's by the Town Highway Department when the property was owned by the Far-, Grange. In 1961 the property was sold to the Jacksonville Community Association. In 1965 the Association installed a fire hydrant on Rt. 96 in front of the Methodist Church. Another hydrant was installed at the driveway entrance on the Swamp College Road in 1979. When a fire occurred in early Spring of 1980, at the apartments on at. 96, there was difficulty drawing water through the hydrants. It is believed that a contributing factor was probably due to the excessive silt and debris settling on the intakes in the bottom of the pond. The last time the pond was cleaned was approximately 15 to 16 years ago. We request the money for the necessary work to drain, bulldoze, repair the overflow system, and remove the debris from the site location. The request represents only part of the expected total cost with the Association providing the balance. The plan is to have this project completed during 1982 and we now make this request under the possibility of using Federal Revenue sharing funds or 1982 Fire Contract funds. Consideration and approval would be appreciated from all of the residents of the Jacksonville area. Very truly yours, CtL0 FF Thomas F. Reitz President, Jacksonville Community Association mr TOWN OF ULYSSES p ZONING BOARD OF APPEALS �/ PUBLIC HEARING G October 1901 PURPOSE OF 1HEAPING: to consider application of William Agard an owner and Phillip Colvin an purchaser of property located at 92 Agard Road (Tax Map ;1' 9-19-4-8) for a use variance under.

Mr. Selden, speaking for the applicants, described the three criteria in the Zoning Ordinance which the Appeals Board would have to address, and brought to the attention of the Board that the operation had been previously approved in 1977 at the present location. He also indicated the house at 92 Agard Road is less than 100 feet from the working farm buildings housing cattle, that the Ordinance stipulates a distance not less than 200 feet for residences from animal shelters, and that under these circumstances the house could not be rented. Mr. Selden also presented the Board with a listing of 51 names of neighbors of the general area who approved the transfer of the business from across the road to the house. Also, he drew attention to the Health Department's requirement of an additional septic tank to augment the existing system and said the proposed action would not have a significant effect upon the environment. . . etc. When asked, Mr. Colvin described in greater detail the Health Department's requirement for the septic system installation. Asked about the effect the operation would have on traffic in the area, the Board was advised there would be no appreciable increase in traffic. Asked about the condition of the house and the reason it was not now occupied, the Board was advised that Mr. and Mrs. Agard had built a smaller home and moved into it, after which his son and family had occupied the house until they had moved into a newly constructed smaller home on Willow Creek Road. Mr. Agard said if the house was not to he occupied by the business it would be torn down. Mrs. Joan Agard said the operation would make good use of the house and • she would not like to have it torn down. Mrs. John Sterling said she thought there would not be additional traffic on the road and would have no objection to the planned use of the house, but that she wanted • the house kept in good shape, Mrs. Joan Godwin also voiced no objection to the proposed use of the house, that it was important as an architectural feature of the area and wanted it maintained in good shape. Mrs, VanDyk asked about removal of the solid waste from the septic system and was advised septic system cleaners ok'd by. the Health Department remove such waste. The Board was also advised of the sizes of the different tanks to be installed for the business operation and approximately how often they would have to be drained. The Board was also told that Mr. Colvin's purchase offer for the house ;'as contingent upon approval by the BZA for the business operation in the house.

Said application was subject to a public hearing on 1 September 1981, at which time hearing was adjourned to a future date awaiting word from the Tompkins County Planning Board's review as required under Sections 239-m and 239-1 of the General Municipal law. Present at hearing: Zoning Board of Appeals Chairman Merle Stillions, Appeals Board members: Ferneley Bauchle, Adrienne VanDyk, Joseph ® Farrell, William Weitzel, also A. Beers, BZA secretary, Zoning Officer Thomas Ferretti, Richard Tutton, Rosalind Kenworthy, Thomas Reitz, Margaret and Charles Smith, Catherine Stover, Martha McGraw, Robert Fendrick, Charles Tutton, applicant Otto Schoenfeld. Mr. Stillions opened hearing by asking secretary for a roll call of Board members, after which he asked for comments from Mr. Schoenfeld. Mr. Schoenfeld questioned two points he considered as errors in the minutes of the September 1 meeting: number of truck trips per hour and acreage of proposed building lots which he has tentatively planned for a,subdivision. Mr. Schoenfeld said he also believed operation of the gravel pit would not altar the truck traffic in the area, and that three years time would probably be the time span for removal of all the gravel which he would like removed from the property, and that he wished the variance for a 3 -year term. He also said he planned no permanent fixtures for removal of the gravel except a loader to get the gravel to trucks for hauling out. Mr. Schoenfeld also said the property was in a soil bank at the time he bought it. In answer to a question from Mrs. VanDyk, Mr. Schoenfeld said the State will not grant a 3 -year permit unless the Zoning Board of Appeals approves the operation. He said the State also requires the property be left in good condition upon termination of the gravel pit operation. Mr. Smith said he approved the gravel pit operation, Mrs. Smith also spoke in favor, saying they were removing gravel from the site 50 years ago. However another person said surveys in 1908 and a survey as of a year ago show no variation in the gravel bed. Mrs. McGraw indicated she was concerned about the heavy truck traffic which the operation would create. Mr. Schoenfeld estimated 20 thousand yards of gravel could be removed. In testimony Mr. Schoenfeld indicated the road he anticipates building on his site would become a public •road. Mr. Reitz asked how many yards of gravel in a truck load and was told estimate of 5 to 6 yards, • up to 12 tons more or less of gravel. (1 yard = 1,000 lbs.) ?? Mr. Tutton said the gravel was too dry for good road construction, that he believed Mr. Schoenfeld wished to sell that gravel'hnd bring in • good gravel for the road construction. Mrs. McGraw, Mrs. Kenworthy, Robert Fendrick and Richard Tutton vocally opposed the gravel pit. operation. The Board then retired for an executive session. Returning to the hearing Mr. Stillions asked the secretary to read the proposed resolution as foIllows: LEGAL NOTICE NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING: The Town of Ulysses Zoning Board of Appeals will hold a public hearing on at t•' 4'-s— p.m. in the Ulysses date (time) Town Hall, 10 Elm Street, Trumansburg, New York.

BERG ASSISTANT DISTRICT ATTORNEY WILLIAM A, LANGE, JR. ASSISTANT DISTRICT ATTORNEY MARJORIE Z. OLDS ASSISTANT DISTRICT ATTORNEY FRANK SMITHSON ASSISTANT DISTRICT ATTORNEY DAVID A. TYLER ASSISTANT DISTRICT ATTORNEY I am writing you to inform you of the position of the District Attorney's Office with respect to the prosecution of zoning ordinance violations in the Town of Ulysses. It is the position of this office that these cases are better handled through the office of the Ulysses Town Attorney. I have dis- cussed this matter with the Town's zoning officer, Thomas Ferretti, and he tells me that both the Town Board and the Town Attorney are willing to see cases prosecuted in that fashion. Consequently, I ask that the Court process zoning ordinance violations on this basis. I think that this is appropriate for several reasons. The Town Attorney is much more familiar with these zoning ordinances in particular, and the law with respect to zoning in general. The Town Attorney is in a better position to understand the policies intended to be effected by the zoning ordinance which are to be implemented by enforcement of viola- tions. The zoning ordinance law violations are quasi -criminal, and need not be prosecuted through the District Attorney's Office. Further, I believe that recent experience has shown that it would be more appropriate for the Town Attorney to prosecute these matters due to the fact that the limited resources of this office are not available to expend the time and effort on these cases that the proper prosecution of these matters deserves. Consequently, unless directed by the Court to do otherwise, this office will not prosecute zoning ordinance violations in the Town of Ulysses, and I expect that such matters will be prosecuted io Letter to: Hon. R. O. Montgomery Re: Prosecution of Zoning Cases Date: Sept. 16, 1981 Page: -2- by the Town Attorney. Thank you for your consideration of this matter. Very truly yours, MICHAEL R.

Ulysses Town Attorney • uce Payne Ulysses Town Supervisor NJ Lf-9 TOWN OF ULYSSES ZONING BOARD OF APPEALS PUBLIC HEARING 27 October 1931 PURPOSE OF HEARING: This was M re -hearing to consider a request by William Agard and Phillip Colvin for a use variance under Article II, Section 7, of the Town of Ulysses Zoning Ordinance to move a presently located furniture refinishing business across the road to 92 Agard Road. (Tax Map 9-19-4-3) Present at hearing: Appeals Board members Merle Stillions, chairman, Ferneley Bauchle, Adrienne VanDyk, William Weitzel, Joeseph Farrell, and A. Beers, secretary. Also present: applicants William Agard, Phillip Colvin, their attorney William Selden, Mervyn Schroeder, Margaret Smith, Charles Smith, Glenna Brotzman., Nancy MacCarrick, Arles Robinson, Carl R. Cox, E. J. Dellert, Nan • Colvin, William Austic, Jan Austic, Joyce Basileus, HerbartAustic, John Agard, John M. Agard, Laura M. Scott, James Scott, Catherine Stover, Beach Stover, Los Bennett, Ralph Schlough, Richard Agard and Marian Agard. Mr. Stillions opened the hearing by asking the secretary to take roll call of Board members. He then stated the purpose of the re -hearing, bringing to the attention of the Board and audience the three criteria, which hS to be answered for a use variance. Mr. Stillions asked the applicants for further evidence (in addition to that presented at the first hearing of October 6, 1981.) Mr. Selden spoke for the applicants. He asked Mr. Agard to again give a brief history of the property in question. Mr. Agard said the property had been purchased by his parents, that since 1908 his family had occupied the residence until 1979, that his son continued to live there until March of 1981. The residence has been vacant since that time. The family moved from the house, Mr. Agard said, because it was hard to heat, had too much room, the condition of the interior of the house was very bad. The house, he said, is approximately 100 feet from the cattle barn. The house is located on a working dairy farm, the barn houses 75 cattle. Water in the house well is not usable for drinking. Mr. Colvin then described the nature of his present operation which was established 1 4 years ago. He said the present quarters were inadequate, that the site was not usable for the installation of stripping tanks. The Board was presented with a statement from the County Health Department which says the proposed action (installation of stripping tanks) will not have a significant effect upon the environment and does not require the ?reparation of any further EIS of the Environmental Quality Review regulations. Submitted at the October 6 hearing was the County Health Department's sewage construction permit detailing specifications for additional sewage facilities for the proposed furniture refinishing operation. The Board was advised there would be no increase in noise levels or traffic, no noxious odors. Mr. Selden presented the Board with signed petitions in favor of the operation, saying some signatures may be duplications of signatures on petitions presented to the Board at the earlier hearing. S Mr. Selden then called upon Mr. Herb Austic to comment on the cost of remodelling the house for either a one -family dwelling or a 2 -apartment dwelling. Mr. Austic identified himself as a contractor, having been in that business for the past 7 years. Describing the condition of the interior of the house, the plumbing, olectrica • wiring, heating system, he said the structure would require all new interior walls, now flooring, heating, electrical wiring and plumbing to remodel it into either a single or a 2 -family dwelling. Such cost of a one family unit he estimated at S $27,000.00 for a 2 -apartment dwelling $36,000.00, Mr. Dellert was then introduced to the Board. de is a real estate broker, New York State licensed, with Century 21 since 1970, is experienced in appraising property and marketing analysis. He said he had ma4e comparison of the subject property with six or eight other properties of like condition, size, etc, with that at 92 Agard Road, and had come up with an appraised value of $25,000. He then presented the Board with a financial analysis of the improvement costs in relation to expected returns for renting the house, these figures indicating mortgage and improvements costs per year providing an estimated loss to Mr. Agard of $1,8dd.d0. Copy of analysis on••file'.,. Mr. Agard said he had been to the bank this day and had been given an interest rate of 1$ on a 20 year mortgage for $33,000.00. Mr. Selden then referred to the proximity of trio bard and dairy operation to the nouse, and concluded that the prospects of rental or sale of the house was almost nil. BZA re -hearing Agard 10-27-81 p2 Jo I s C I Mr. Stillions then asked for comments from others in the audience; all persons speaking wore in favor of the proposed use of the house. Board members asked about what Mr. Colvin planned to do to the interior of the house and was advised that he planned to do all renovating work himself as time and money permitted, that he would like to eventually make the inside of the house livable. The Board then retired for an executive session. Returning to the hearing, Mr. Stillions asked the secretary to read the proposed resolution as follows: WHEREAS: William Agard and Phillip Colvin have requested a use variance under Article II, Section 7, of the Town of Ulysses Zoning Ordinance to move a presently located furniture refinishing business across the road to 92 Agard Road, and WHEREAS: the Zoning Board of Appeals has considered all material presented to them relative to said request, THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED: that since all evidence presented indicates that under Article II, Section 7, all three requirements have been met, the Board grants the request. Mr. Farrell moved the adoption of the resolution, Mr. Stillions seconded the motion. Voting was as follows: Mrs. Bauchle yes Mrs. VanDyk yes Mr. Farrell yes Mr. Stillions yes Mr. Weitzel yes Motion carried unanimously and resolution adopted. Mr. Agard and Mr. Covil will be notified officially of Board action by copy of these minutes. Beers, sec.

Also Present: Budget Officer Aileen Beers, Highway Superintendent Rolf Holtkamp, Douglas and Carolyn Duddleston, James Vorp, Barbara Woodams, Thomas and Marlene Reitz, Catherine and Beach Stover, Earl Richar, Imo Herrick, Arlee Robinson, Richard and Mitzi Montgomery, Debbie Burton of the Free Press, Richard Weizel of the Ithaca Journal, Town Clerk Marilyn E. Ough. Mrs. Ough read the legal notice of the public hearing as it appeared in the Free Press and Ithaca Journal. Budget Officer Aileen Beers went over the Preliminary Budget in detail explaining the different accounts within each Fund. She then reported on the proposed tax rates, There was a lengthy discussion regarding the compensation, in like amount of the cost of the Town health insurance, paid to those Town Officials having other coverage. Mr. Richar spoke of the skyrocketing increase in salaries and did not want payment made to those not taking insurance. This was echo- ed by Mr. and Mrs. Reitz. Mr. Montgomery offered another suggestion that premium be paid for those electing to take the Health Insurance while those employees covered elsewhere be compensated by submitting a voucher for their out-of-pocket insurance costs not to exceed a given amount. The big increase in health insurance premiums (from $952 to $1404) was explained as well as the proposed Regional Insurance Plan that has been passed in the Senate. If the State Assembly also approves there could be a possible 10-15% decrease in premiums. The County is also investigating health insurance costs with an eye to local, less expensive coverage. In answer to a question regarding the increase in tax rates, Mrs. Beers noted that all accounts were raised 10%. Mr. Reitz's misunderstanding of the Deputy Town Clerk and Tax Collector salaries was explained by Mrs. Ough. Mrs. Stover asked if there was a definite plan for the $20,000 allocated to Highway Machinery. She was told that if the money was not spent it would go into unexpended balance at the end of the year. It was noted that the machinery account is the only one that is allowed to build. In answer to Mrs. Reitz's question, the Budget was put together by the Supervisor and Budget Officer and then reviewed by the Board. Mr. Richar expressed his delight that so many were in attendance and asking questions. He stressed the need for better communications and compared councilmens salaries from 1978-1982. He asked why the Social Security allocation was lower and was informed that previously Medicare had been taken from that account. Mrs. Robinson questioned the zoning officer expenses andWinformed there will be no zoning officer but a building inspector. The County is working on establishing qualifications necessary for same to fit this area and be in compliance with State mandate. She spoke about the need to revamp the zoning ordinance and asked where the funds would come from to do the job. Mrs. Beers stated that Part Town Fund includes monies to print a zoning ordinance revision. Ithaca Journal reporter Richard Weizel asked for communication from Board members for news articles. This was followed by angry accusations from the Board and audience on lack of coverage at meet- ings and twisting what is printed. Mrs. Duddleston addressed the Board as the newly elected Tax Collector stating she had not sought the position and had encouraged everyone to vote yes for an appointive tax collector. She has asked the Town Clerk to be her Deputy Tax Collector and taxes will be handled, as in the past, at no additional cost to the taxpayers thus eliminating $1000 of the budgeted amount for her salary. Mrs. Reitz asked for a clarification on use of the Town truck by the Highway Superintendent and was informed it was considered a fringe TOWN OF ULYSSES Trumansburg, N.Y.14886 607-387-8801 NOTICE OF HEARING ON THE PRELIMINARY BUDGET FOR THE TOWN OF ULYSSES AND PROPOSED USE OF REVENUE SHARING FUNDS Notice is hereby given that the Preliminary Budget and the Proposed Use of Federal Revenue Sharing Funds for the Fiscal Year 1982 has been completed and filed in the Office of the Town Clerk at 10 Elm Street, Trumansburg, New York, where it is available for inspection by any interested person during office hours.

Respectfully, Ulysses Town Board 11-10-81 page 2 resolution of appreciation: WHEREAS: the Ulysses House Numbering Committee was appointed on June 10, 1980 to update the 1967 numbering system for the Town, and WHEREAS: this Committee has worked faithfully and diligently to the completion of this tremendous task, now THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED: that the Ulysses Town Board extend the gratitude and appreciation of the Townspeople to Chairman Carl Cox and Nancy MacCarrick of the House Numbering Committee for their dedicated service to the Town. Adopted Mr. Agard Aye Mr. Herrick Aye Mr. Smith Aye Mr. Vorp Aye Mr. Payne Aye Director of Ulysses Youth Unlimited Rick Frost addressed the Board stating he would be glad to answer any questions regarding the UYU quarterly report. He pointed out that UYU was the only agency that will receive full funding from the Division For Youth for their 1982 proposals. In the discussion that followed Mr. Frost stated they were still using the services of psychologists and although there is potential for a local Big Brother & Sister Program the required commitment by volunteers has not been forthcoming. He mentioned a need for emergency housing. Trumansburg Police Chief Thomas Ferretti said he had referred several to UYU and has seen positive results from the program. Li C Mr. Payne and Mr. Holtkamp discussed a letter from Tompkins County Commissioner of Public Works William J. Mobbs about the Local General Bridge Inspection Program scheduled for Tompkins County in the Spring of 1982. To participate in the program the Board must submit a Resolution and check for the local share of $50.00 per bridge. Ulysses has three bridges that qualify (Glenwood, Curry and Durling Roads) so it would necessitate an expenditure of $150. Mr. Herrick moved, seconded by Mr. Smith, adoption of the following resolution: WHEREAS: the New York State Department of Transportation has scheduled a Local General Bridge Inspection Program for Tompkins County in the Spring of 1982, and WHEREAS: the Town of Ulysses has three bridges (Glenwood, Curry and Durling Roads) that qualify for this program, now THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED: that the Town of Ulysses agrees to pay the local share of $50 per bridge ($150) to parti- cipate in the Local General Bridge Inspection Program, and BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED: that a copy of the report Adopted after completion of the inspection be filed with the Town of Ulysses. Mr. Agard Aye Mr. Herrick Aye Mr. Smith Aye Mr. Vorp Aye Mr. Payne Aye Mr. Ferretti reported on the Tompkins County Municipal Officials meeting he attended with Mrs. Beers on October 29th, 1981. The speakers, from the Association of Towns, addressed the new Building and Fire Codes (copy of report attached). Mrs. Robinson noted the Town does have a Certificate of Occupancy but nothing in our Zoning Ordinance states one has to be issued before occupancy. Town Attorney Arthur Golder stated that in the issuance of a Certificate of Occupancy the Town is taking on a responsibility. Mr. Agard moved, seconded by Mr. Smith, adoption of the following resolution: RESOLVED: that the following pay scales for Ulysses Highway Department employees be adopted: .111.1'-SEPT 1981 ULYSSES YOUTH UNLIMITED P.O. Box 288 Trumansburg, N.Y. 14886 '(607) 387-5235 QUARTERLY REPORT July - September 1981 The summer has been a very quiet one for UYU and for the other agencies we've been in contact witth as far as kids go. Administratively we've been very busy and with good results. The 1982 Division For Youth (DFY), which is state monies, proposals for UYU, and the Special Delinquency Prevention Program (SDPP) came due this quarter. The UYU grant proposal was for effectively $6039 of which we were granted $5993, a cut of only $46LL This is matching money, we spend $100 and get reimbursed $50. The SEDP, which is 100% DFY funding, requested $14,196 and was granted $14,196 - 100% - No CUTS Lit Though these proposals take a lot of time and effert, it was time well used. In August Dr. Keile from Ithaca Family and Children Service went on maternity leave, and we worked into the fall with Dr. Halton, of the Elmira. Psychiatric Center, continuing with her fine work. Arrangements are in the process for the Ithaca Family and Childrens Service to again provide us with an outreach worker. This time we will be receiving the help of a Masters in Family and Children's counseling. About a year ago we participated in a survey by the New York State Counsel on Children and Families, andhave just gotten back the results, and they are quite interesting. Our youth rated themselves as being the most seriously troubled adolescents surveyed. Areas also studied included poverty and minority sections in New York and other large urban centers across the State. I think this report underlines a basic statement of U.Y.U.; that rural adolescents are experiencing situations and pressures equal to, though possibly different in kind, to those of urban youth, and that the rural youths are receiving nowhere near the supporting services provided for their city counter- parts. This is further stressed by the fact UYU was the only rural program of the 11 surveyed. We also held a raffle this summer, the following restaurants donated dinner for two as prizes: The Box Car, Camels, The Glenwood Pines, Marlin's Bread Board, Rongovian Embassy, The Store, Taughannock Farms Inn and Willow Creek. We wish to thank all those local business for their support. The kids sold raffle tickets for a dollar a shot, and we raised $350 for the program. In short, although and happily things have been a little quiet this summer, as compared to last, kid wise, a lot of very critical and important work has been accomplished. Without the hours going into administrative functions, which necessitates a reductionS of direct services time expecially from myself, there would be no funding„ thus no program and no help. Thank you for your time .and support from myself and our youth. Sincerely, V. Rick Frost t4 U ULYSSES YOUTH UNLIMITED P.O. Box 288 Trumansburg, N.Y. 14886 (607) 387-5235 Quarterly Report July - September 1981 The quarterly reports will follow the format.of the 1980 Annual Report. All statistical data is presented together at the end of this report. Problem Area A: Informal Counseling - This need is addressed by 3 primary facets of the UYU program. 1. Outreach - Utilizing our summer staff we were all to emphasize the outreach made this summer. Several youths who otherwise would have lost contact with us this summer were able to participate. A lot of time went into 1-2-1 contacts with kids who were experiencing difficulties over the summer, and judging by the lack of crises situations over the summer, this approach was effective. We again were present each night of the T -Burg fair. We walked around a few drunk kids, took some home, and cooled off a couple of fights. The end result was a pretty smooth fair, at least from our perspective. The coming of fall sees the leaving of our summer staff. Brenda, Ann and Leslie were great this summer, they did their work well and effectively and we'll miss them. In the past we have been fortunate enough to have field study students or interne from one of the local colleges to work with us through the winter. These people are often used in outreach and the drop -in center. Unfortunately, with the shift away from and reduction of funding for human.service programs in Washington has come a lack of interest in the human services academically. This, inconjunction with the transportation difficulties inherent in a rural project, has caused the few students interested in human services to find placements in Ithaca. We did not receive one call from an interested student this fall. So, unless, a student or a volunteer shows up the UYU program proper will have only 1 staff person this winter - myself. 2. Drop -in Program - The "center" was quiet this summer. We adveraged 5-10 kids per day, some just dropping by, others staying for several hours. As I've talked with other agencies, this seems to have been a shared experience. The "center" was kept open for it's scheduled hours, though minimaly staffed. The freed staff time was used to address the special needs of some of our rural kids through 1-2-1 efforts, and for some administrative work. 3. School Outreach - School started September 9, and all and all it was a smooth and trouble free take -off. Keith (SDPP) and I are present in the Junior and Senior highs 4-5 days each week as last year. in addition to the lunch hour "hang-out" with the kids, Keith and I felt a need to somehow focus on the. kids and develop a vehicle for teaching them in addition to our previous methods. Due to the outreach nature of UYU we seldom have any "leverage" with which to work with the adolescents other than being likeable, which is a very subject tool. We discussed this problem with the schools and found them very responsive. Keith is now working with his kids in the Junior High shop, and they are developing a group project. This vehicle allows Keith contact with his kids and helps to create stronger ties with them, as well as providing a means of open contact with the other school kids thus reducing any stigmatism on the SDPP youth and making Keith better known and accepted. In November I will start to teach a self defense class -2 - during noon hour in the Junior High for similar purposes. In the High School now I enjoy access to the shops and am able to contact many kids in that environment. We see this as a major and very positive step forward in our relationship with the schools. We have also done presentation of both programs to Junior and Senior high faculty. Problem Area B: Advocacy -- Agency contacts refelct the activity level of the summer. We kept tabs on several ongoing cases over the summer. With the start of school things are picking up and referrals in and out are increasing. Problem Area C: Delinquency Prevention -- The big news is the continued financing of SDPP and thus the continuation of these services for another year. Also,irsovations outlined in school outreach. Problem Area D: Youth Employment Service -- There has been an increase in the number of jobs coming in, but it doesn't approach the demand. We have arranged for a series of articles to be published in the local paper emphasizing the YES, emergency housing, and a mentor oriented big brother/sister program!. The mentor big brother/sister idea is new. We were hoping to interest a few craft, professional and hobby people in sharing their skills with a youth of similar interest. We'll wait and see how this works out. Problem Area E: Crisis Intervention -- I am happy to report that over the summer no situations developed that merited a crisis status. This, I believe, reflects the emphasis placed on 1-2-1 crtreach work. Problem Area F: Emergency Housing — Emergency housing was offered as an option for several cases, though not utilized. There has been increasing interest and pressure from other agencies to step up our work in this area, and to assist them in developing formal placement situations, which are sadly lacking in our area. We are attempting to comply and are emphasizing this need as much as possible. Problem Area G: Recreation and Outing Program -- The swimming program on Monday and Wednesday was very popular. We did some day hikes and had an end of summer picnic. Most kids seemed to be working and this limited our activities somewhat. We are planning a Halloween Dance, and are looking into developing more school wide activities. Problem Area H: Interface with Families -- We are finding ourselves working more with families, receiving more referrals directly from families and enjoying greater acceptance from local parents. This, I feel, is a very positive outcome of our efforts at public awareness of and education about the UYU program. ULYSSES YOUTH UNLIMITED P.O. Box 288 Trumansburg, N.Y. 14886 (607) 387-5235 Special Delinquency Prevention Program Quarterly Report July - September 1981 During this quarter I have been involved in a variety of activities. All of these activities have been geared to the program's main goal of working with high risk and potentially delinquent youth whose positions in society leave them without a sense of support and/or supervision. The program provides needed outside nurturement to prevent these youth from becoming a burden to society by their involvement in the criminal justice system, their failures in school, and/or their negative involvement in other institutions. The program has been successful in developing trusting, one-to-one relationships with the target youth through the initiation of various non -threatening activities such as hiking, camping, canoeing, frisbee playing, basketball, ping-pong, Fair going, etc. As this quarter began, the SDPP was visible many hours at the T -Burg Fair, where, through outreach, I furthered several one-to-one contacts. Another program highlight for this period was a 2 day backpacking trip from Reynoldsville to Burdett, on the Finger Lakes Trail. This trip involved 2 of the program's core group youth, and it provided an extended period of time for these youth to en- hance their self-images in context to their relationship to the program. The program routinely provides informal counseling to its clients in a variety of settings. During this quarter, three cases have involved extensive family intervention counselling. One of these families has been referred to, and is now in counseling with Dr. Holton, our outreach psychologist from the Elmira Psychiatric Center. Four cases have involved significant amounts of time counseling sex problems. Other problem areas have concerned substance abuse, on the part of both clients, and their families; school problems; peer problems; and suspected petty thefts. The program has been successful in helping four of the target youth gain part-time employment. Four other target youth found summer employment situations by themselves. During this quarter, much time was spent compiling and defending our DFY funding proposals. This activitiey provided for important program review and development. The program is proud to report that we received the largest grant for Special Delinquency Prevention Programs within Tompkins County, and were the only program to receive 100% of what we applied for. However, although these State monies will cover the costs of the SDPP for 1982, this 100% State grant is based in part on the expectation that for 1983 and beyond, a sizeable proportion of the program's costs will have to come from sources other than the State. Finally, in the last month of this quarter, the school year began anew. The SDPP has been working very closely with school officials, and our presence within the schools has increased. In addition to my presence during lunch time, I am now working within the shop class, assisting the shop teacher one period each day. This involvement is very beneficial to both the program and the school; it enables the students to receive more individualized attention during class, and acts as a vehicle for the program to get to know some target youth within the school context. Further, it provides the basis for a project focus between myself and several target youths, and sets up the initial framework whereby troubled students might receive hctool credit for work outside the regular curriculum. In general, this has been a successful and busy quarter. The hot days of summer have passed, and school is now in session.. Our funding for next year has been initially approved, and with our school involvement the program has developed a good sense for its future directions. Referrals are still being received, and a waiting list exists to enter the core'group. I'd like to thank trick Frost, the Director of U.Y.U. for his support and •.assistance over this past quarter, and I'd also like to thank the UYU Governing Board,, particularly Tom Lange, Mike Cremean, Dave Kehoe, and Sue Perking for their help and input as we compiled our funding proposals.

D202284 PINS 5080.02.123 AND TCP7PKINS COUNTY INSPECTION (Supplemental) S080.02.12C The State Department of Transportation in compliance with Chapter 460 of the Laws of 1977 prepared a report on the condition of all local bridges in New York State. To continue the local bridge inspections, which are mandated by the Federal Surface Transportation Act of 1978, a program using consulting engineers for this inspection work is now scheduled to start in the Spring of 1982 for your political subdivision. The cost of the local Bridge Condition Survey is to be paid for by using Federal, State and local funding. The funding source for the Federal share is to be from the Highway Bridge Replacement and Re- habilitation Program and will make up 80 percent of the cost. The State and local shares are based on the I14nicipal Streets and High- ways (Marchiselli)Legislation which provides fcr a 15 percent State share of the cost and a 5 percent share of the cost by the bridge owner or other local government. A resolution from the bridge owner or his agent and a deposit of the local share is required before a contract can be awarded to a con- sulting engineer to do the inspection cork. Payments to consulting engineers for the local share are to be made from the money requested as a deposit to the State. Upon acceptance of the consulting agree- ment with the State, a final accounting is to be made; any remaining funds will be returned. The local government deposit account is to be credited with earned interest at the same rate earned on ether State monies invested during the period.

Murray Jaros, counsel for Assn of Towns, spoke at meeting 10 -2? -81 re codes. By 12-21-81 municipalities will have to report to next govt level - in our case to chalrm,.n of Count/ Board of Representatives - if we are going to write a building -fire code for the Town of Ulysses, or if we are going to adopt the State code of 1079 (witr. revisions), by 3-31-82 and enforce such code. If we write a code the state sets no criteria for same. If we adopt the State code we would use only those items in that code applicable to us. We need to change ti,e.titLe of Zoning Officer to Building Inspector- title used by the state for the person issuing building permits. This person will be rewired to issue permits, inspect building site, determine if building meeting electrical, heating, energy, etc criteria durinj construction, inspect upon completion and then issue a Certificate of Occupancy. We don't have Certificatto. Occupancy. flew code to go into effect on 1-1-84 will be state mandated. Tentatively possible Town would receive 1/2 costs from state aid. Rest of costs would, or could be, covered by fee charges (building permit feesa). Town of Ithaca now uses a graduated fee scale based on estimated assessment or cost value of construction. Our rate is a flat $5.00/permit. Building Inspectors will receive training in graduated stases. For 1st stage, 1978 code, State training County Level who will in turn train town level starting how? When 1984 mandated state code goes into effect additional training will be initiated. 1Q84 code will emphasize places of public assembly baser- on 50 people assembled, or possible assembled. Includes municipal buildings, lodges, churches, etc. Such structures will be mandated to abide by new code for all new structures, old structures will have to be in compliance by 1?85. For one and two family homes, code will apply on new structures. Old structures? who knows at present. 1984 code not yet fine tuned. Each local eovernnent to decide who will enforce the codes - local, county or state enforcement. County or state enforcement may involve so much red tape and time lag for insi.ections, that local option would be the cheapest, quickest and most satisfactory. Building code would have to be incor,orated into zoning regulations for all buildings after 1984 - including farm buildings. Law states people, animals, etc. Also states any structure with roof, walls. Mares to limit on size, could be a dog house. (Lew Cartee, Town of Ithaca Building Inspector, said maybe old buildings coutrbe under grandfather clause. Check that one out) Jac,< Miller would be training officer for us, maybe some one else at Co level. Enforcement prior to 3-1-82 - local provisions apply. In our case - none. Tom Ferretti & A.

PATERSON Secretary of State STATE OF NEW YORK DEPARTMENT OF STATE 182 WASHINGTON AVENUE ALBANY, NEW YORK 12231 August 20, 1981 Dear Mayor or Supervisor: If your city, tote, or village does not have a building code or fire code, a new state law requires that you take action to enforce the existing State Building Code and State Fire Prevention Code on March 1, 3.982. On July 22, 1981 Governor Carey signed the State Uniform Fire Prevention and Building Code legislation (Laws of 1981, Chapter 707). Enclosure A summarizes this legislation. The major provision of this law is that a statewide Uniform Fire Prevention and Building Code be prepared for implemen- tatien on January 1, 1984 ("New Code"). However, the legislation requires that every local government which does not have a building code or fire code in effect on March 1, 1982 rust enforce the existing State Building Code and State Fire Prevention Code ("Interim Cade"). Enclosure B describes how copies of the Interim Codes may be obtained. Guidelines for administration and enforce ant of the Interim Codes will be published in the State Roister on September 16, 1981. Cities, towns, and villages without building codes or fire codes must report to their respective counties on the measures taken or planned for the administration and enforcement of the Interim Codes. These reports crust be submitted to the elective or appointive chief executive officer of the county by December 21, 1981. The Department of State will do all it can to ensure that the implemen- tation of the Interim Codes is efficiently and smoothly accatplished. We are organizing a program of technical assistance to aid camunities without building or fire codes. Information and materials will be supplied as they became available. Meanwhile, the enclosures should prove of assistance. Any questions you have concerning the Interim Codes, the New Code, or other aspects of the new law should be directed to the Office of Fire Prevention and Control, (518) 474-6746. Basil A. Paterson /d Enclosure A An Overview of Chapter 707 of the Laws of 1981 on November 21, 1980 the entire country was shocked by the deaths of 84 people in a fire at the MGM Grand Hotel in Las Vegas, Nevada. Less than two weeks later "the fire that could not happen here" did, killing 26 people and injuring 24 more at Stouffer's Inn in Harrison, New York. That same day eleven other people died in fires across New York State. Such incidents called into question the adequacy of building and fire codes in the state and the effectiveness of their enforcement. To investigate these issues Governor Carey convened a Special Fire Safety Task Force chaired by Secretary of State Basil A. Paterson. Chapter 707 of the Laws of 1981 implements the Task Force's recommendations. The Task Force found that a single, adequate, enforceable building and fire code does not exist in the state. There is instead a multiplicity of codes and code making authorities. Even so, extensive areas of the state have no code at all for the benefit of the general public. To remedy this the new law requires a New York State Uniform Fire Prevention and Building Code to be applicable statewide effective January 1, 1984. In the interim, to protect the public where no codes exist, the State Building Construction Code (Executive Law, Article 18) and the State Building Conservation and Fire Prevention Code (Executive Law, Article 18-A) will be applicable beginning March 1, 1982 in every local government which does not on that date have in effect such a code or which later repeals such a code. Local governments which have a building code or fire code will not be immediately affected by the new law. The Uniform Code will be developed by a broadly representative seventeen mem- ber council composed of state officials, local officials, the fire service, and the construction industry. This will insure input from those by and against whom the code will be enforced. The council will also periodically review the Uniform Code to ensure that it remains up-to-date. Local governments will be able to adopt more restrictive provisions for con- struction within their boundaries. They may also petition the council for a deter- mination that their local codes are as stringent as the Uniform Code; if so, the local codes could remain in effect. Local governments may also act on related matters as to which the code is silent. Enforcement of the code will be a local responsibility. Local governments could join together for enforcement of the code, or could agree directly with the county for county enforcement of the code. Local governments and counties could "opt out" of enforcement by local law, whereupon the state would be the enforcer of last resort. Where local enforcement and administration is inadequate, the Secre- tary of State may, after holding hearings, take corrective action. The Secretary of State will administer an aid program for support of fire pre- vention and building code activities in local governments. Funds are allocated under new § 54-g of the State Finance Law in part on the basis of population and in part on the basis of property value. In addition to its provisions for the Uniform Code the new law addresses fire safety in areas of public assembly. Dealing with the interior and finishes rather than the structure of areas of public assembly, the new requirements will apply to buildings constructed after April 1, 1982. Existing buildings will have until April 1, 1985 to come into compliance.

Zoning Officer Thomas Ferretti's October report included the issuanc of six building permits and one renewal permit for a garage, also the disposition of the six BZA Hearings.

(It was noted that Smith Woods is a Trust left to the Community with a committee of Trustees for management.) Mr. Joseph Schehr arrived late to the meeting and addressed the Board regarding what he felt was the confusing language on the referendum making the office of Tax Collector appointive. He said he had voted the wrong way and hoped the Town Board would put it on the ballot again. Mrs. Robinson echoed what Mr. Schehr had said. Mr. Luster reported on the Senior Citizen Housing Project. The six weeks of rainy weather has hampered the completion schedule. However, if they can get temporary heat in the building it would Ulysses Town Board 11-10-81 page 4 allow working through the winter with completion targeted for March 21, 1982.

Supervisor Bruce M. Payne called the public hearing to order at 7:30 P.M. in the Town Hall. Others present: Councilmen William Agard, Robert C. Herrick, H. William Smith, James Vorp. Also present: Town Attorney Arthur Golder, Zoning Officer Thomas Ferretti, Imo Herrick, Ann Rogers, Thomas Reitz, Catherine Stover, Mr. and Mrs. Luke Wooden, Mr. and Mrs. James Wooden, Arlee Robinson, Earl Richer, Douglas Duddleston, Carl Cox, Rolf Holtkamp, James Rice, Thomas Smith, James Warren, Deputy Town Clerk Carolyn Duddleston. Mrs. Duddleston read the legal notice as it appeared in the Ithaca Journal and Free Press. In answer to Mr. Payne's question on how many of the 17 acres would be included in the planned development district, Mrs. Wooden answered four, as shown in their drawing submitted earlier. Attorney Golder stated that a survey would be necessary to accurately divide the 17 original acres. A discussion followed on Mrs. Wooden's query whether the whole 17 acres could be included in the development district without a survey. Though it is the Woodens intent to put just one trailer on the lancj,it was ascertained that the development district could not become a trailer park since a variance would be required for additional trailers. Mr. Herrick said a survey of the four acres would be the least trouble and easiest way. The Board studied map and picture of trailer and decided a new scale drawing must be done along with a survey. Mrs. Robinson asked for the number of residents already on the 17 acres and was told two others. Mr. Cox asked why the public was not better informed on development district procedure so that there was not this delay. In the discussion that followed it was decided that the problem was between the Planning and Town Boards. Thomas Smith asked, if granted, would the development district in- clude restrictions on upkeep of property? Mr. James Wooden asked the Board if, after the land was surveyed and then the Board turned down their request, they would have to pay tax on two parcels? Attorney Golder answered no since the survey is not a legal separation of the land. It was suggested the Woodens hire an attorney to avoid any more delay. The Board apologized to them for the length of time being taken and that as soon as the survey was completed another meeting would be held. Mr. Vorp moved, seconded by Mr. Herrick, that the public hearing adjourn at 8:10 P.M. Voted and unanimously carried. Carolyn J.

TRUMANOSURO, NEW YORK 1/060 TELEPHONE 16071 367.6301 December 8, 1981 Supervisor Bruce M. Payne 10 Elm Street Trumlansburg, New York 14886 Re: Receiver of Taxes and Assessments - School Taxes Dear Bruce: As we have previously discussed, the Town law makes it part of the function of the Receiver of Taxes and Assessments to collect all School taxes levied within the Township. In the case of the Town of Ulysses, this would alter past practice, and necessitate a division of functions and supporting documents which may not be desirable. Section 38 of the Town law does provide that a Town Board may enter into agreement with one or more School Boards for the collection of School taxes within the Town, i.e., the status quo may be maintained by such an agreement. I suggest that action be taken at the December Town Board meting to authorize the Supervisor to enter into such an agreement, which need not be any more oa plex than the enclosed draft. Very E yo s, / I r Arch Golder, Jr. AJG:gr Enc. P.S. Of course a similar agreement should be entered into with the Ithaca City School District. AGREEMENT FOR COLLECTION OF SCHOOL TA S AGREfl4U T made as of the _ day of Decenber, 1981, by and between the Town Board of the Town of Ulysses in the Cbunty of nxnpkins and State of New York, hereinafter referred to as the "Ibwn" and the Tnmw sburg Central School District, Trumansburg, New York, hereinafter referred to as "School District": The parties agree, pursuant to Town law §38 (2), that the School District shall continue to be responsible for the collection of its School taxes within the Town.

EOX A MAIN STREET, TRUMANEUURO, NEW YORK 1488! TELEPHONE 18071 367.9791 December 8, 1981 Supervisor Bruce M. Payne 10 Elm Street Trumansburg, New York 14886 Re: Duddleston Road Dear Bruce: The procedure for abandoning a town highway is as follows: 1. The Town Highway Superintendent and Town Board must determine that for the past two years, the highway in question has been usually traveled along the greater part thereof by not more than two vehicles daily, in addition to pedestrians and persons on horseback. 2. The County Highway Superintendent must also determine that a qualified abandonment of the highway is proper and will not cause injustice or hardship to the owner or occupant of any lands adjoining the highway. 3. That determination by the County Highway Superintendent must be made after a public hearing held by him on at least twenty days written notice to owners and occupants of adjoining lands. 4. The Town Highway Superintendent and Town Board then files and records in the Town Clerk's Office a certificate containing a description of that portion of the highway and declaring a qualified abandonment thereof; I think the County Highway Superintendent should join in such a certificate. 5. At any time within thirty days after the decision of the County Highway Superintendent, or the filing of the certificate in the Town Clerk's Office, any persons considering themselves aggrieved by the highway closing, may serve a written notice of appeal on the County Highway Superintendent, appealing to the State Com- missioner of Transportation, who will conduct a rehearing.

Purpose of Plan: To enable Tompkins County to provide a coordinated sys- tem of services that assures all children and youth access to opportunities and supports they need to develop into healthy and responsible individuals. 2. Service Delivery System. Inventory and Assessment: Youth service is available in the areas of Basic Needs, Education, Employment, Family Support, Health/Mental Health, and Juvenile Justice, however very few services are fully accessible to all youth and families in need. Lack of information, confusion and transportation are often inhibiting factors. Long waiting lists and heavy caseloads are also deterents to full availability and use. General concerns found to exist: *Youth and families in rural communities have inadequate access to service *Young people unable to live at home need appropriate affordable housing *Prevention, early intervention and community -based alternatives are priorities of the service community *The family as a unit should be emphasized Baseline data of youth services is needed to assess effectiveness of programs. Close monitoring and evaluation of services are needed to determine how well needs and objectives are being met. Level of Coordination and Information Sharing: This occurs through the Human Service Coalition, County Youth Board's Comprehensive Planning Committee, informal coordination by the Youth Bureau and interagency communication. 3. Tompkins County Youth Board Funding Policies: Funding eligibility and funding levels explained. In 1981, the municipalities submitted applications to the County Office for technical review for the first time. The allocation procedure for 1982 followed the recommendations of the Comprehensive Planning Committee. Basis of recommendations rested on determination by Program Review Committee of need of program, degree program addressed priorities established by the Youth Board, program service and organization, and program presentation and past performance. 4. 1982 Goals and Objectives Seventeen goals intended to be 'global statements' in problem areas of basic need, education, employment, family support, health/mental health and juvenile justice. Twenty-one program objectives determined to be necessary for development and maintenance of comprehensive youth service network, listed in priority order. Examples such as #1 Support and expand the availability of living options for young people unable to live successfully at home; #2 To expand program offering outreach services to families and youngsters in the community who are experiencing mental and emotional distress.... ;#3 Continue to support the coordinated activities of existing services for youth, pregnant teens, and young parents, especially those from rural areas. 5. Measurement of Program Progress and Planning Process: The planning process involved ten Youth Board members, 21 other representatives from agencies and county departments and six at -large community members with youth work experience all serving on various committees. They experienced a high degree of frustration in their efforts to assessyouth needs because necessary data was not available. The responsbility of monitoring and evaluation of DFY funded programs is 1982 COMPREHENSIVE YOUTH SERVICES PLAN FOR TOMPLINS COUNTY page two an external system of reviewing proposals, past services, program and financial obligations as outlined in the County Contract. On site visits to review services, internal monitoring and record -keeping and service delivery needs; on site visits to meet with boards of directors; a quarterly program report required of all funded programs; quarterly reimbursement requests from agencies are audited; informal ongoing contacts are all methods used by the Bureau. Until the Youth Bureau can improve its needs assessment and evaluation capabilities, the measurement of goal attainment will be imprecise. 1981 Program Objectives addressed.inclpding employment for high risk youth, child care, outreach, family support services, domestic violence, sup- port services for teen parents, preparation for youth employment, mainstream- ing, nutrition, juvenile justice education and prevention. The County Youth Bureau is responsible for addressing coordinating and administrative objectives. An Ad Hoc committee apointed by the Board of Representatives to evaluate Youth Bureau and Youth Board recommended the continuation of both and the addition of a halftime staff position to provide monitoring, evlluation and data analysis functions. 6. Evaluation Criteria for 1982 Program and Administrative Objectives Criteria for Program Objectives: *All 1982 fundable objectives will be addressed by contract agencies *A summary of youth served objectives will be prepared by August 15, 1982 *A summary of advocacy efforts and results by the Youth Bureau of other agencies will be prepared by September 30, 1982, to measure progress on agency objectives Service delivery and administrative objectives for 1982 outlined in areas of research, coordination, youth board, education, employment, family support, and recreation. 7. Description of County Services to Participating Municipalities: The Tompkins County Youth Bureau exists to provide the functions as outlined in the County's Charter and Code including limited assistance in research, program planning through the Youth Board, its members and with county agencies and municipal- ities, and program monitoring of funded programs.

For town rest• dents applying for a marriage license today, it will be $2 more than It would have been yesterday. The town board approved a resolu- tion Tuesday to increase the fee for an original Certificate of Marriage Registration from St to $3. The total fee for the marriage license and certificate will now be $8, making it uniform with other townships in Tompkins County, said Marilyn Ough, town clerk. Ough said the marriage license fee in the town was Increased last June, from $4 to $6, as the result of a state mandate, and that now it is being raised to $8. Ough said the $6 fee was the lowest in the county, and that some towns charge $10. "Towns are charging between $6 and $10, and we thought $8 would be fair," Ough said.

Auble has requested permission from Town and Village Board to annex 3B acres to the Village which he owns on the north end of the Town. He tentaUvley plans to build a P & C supermarket and a drug store on the property, "I was disturbed by the Annexation Hearing on Auble's property," stated Reitz. "The Village & Town sent out questionnaires. Will they be used in making a determination?" Reitz added that the legal notices which were sent out were different from the questionnaires distributed by the Town and Village. He: felt that the notices should have conformed to the questionnaires. "I'm in favor of getting information," responded Deputy Supervisor Robert Herrick; "but we need to have some control on it It's easy to express strong but anonymous responses. The questionnaire was . simply an effort for a straw poll." He added that although the public input was valuable in making a determination, the final decision could not be made by public ballot. It must be made by elected officials. Councilman James Vorp stated that he had read all the individual responses to the questionnaires and found them extremely interesting. He felt that the questionnaires had given people who didn't like to speak in public an opportunity to be noted. In response to expressed concerns that the results of the questionnaires should be open to the Public, Clerk Marilyn 0ugh stated that the information was part of the Public record and was available at 15a /page. The Village Board will meet in the Village office on Tuesday, February 16 at 5:15 PM to vote on the annexation proposal. The Ulysses Wer Town Board will delay voting untilthe return dlSupervlsorBrucePayne on the first of April. OTHER ACTION: In response to a request from Tom Reitz for town funds to rehabilitate the fire prevention pond on SwampCollege Road, w State Audit & Control Attorney Richard McCarthy has advised the Town , \V Supervisor by telephone that it cannot expend Town funds for a private concern. (Herrick requested that the verbal Information be confirmed rin writing.) "We don't have a great deal of latitude for expenditure of t• >: funds," Herrick commented. Reitz expressed concern that fire �.:. protection for the area was inadequate without clearing and ;,,:;•,;, rehabilitating the pond. The Board accepted with regret the resignation 61 w of Thomas Gorman from the Town Planning Board and appointed Mr. Seville Reulein to serve out Mr. Gormen's unexpired- term. Board �h' of ivmembers voted to renew the street lighting contract (lacl,aonville) with i_ bt NYSEG for 1982. The Town pays an average of 145 to 160/month for a 8r '.'Auble, to total of S lights.

The town board approved a resolu- tion Tuesday to increase the fee for an original Certificate of Marriage Registration from $1 to $3. The total fee for the marriage license and certificate will now be $8. making it uniform with other townships in Tompkins County, said Marilyn Ough, town clerk. Ough said the marriage license fee in the town was increased last June, from $4 to $6, as the result of a state mandate, and that now It is being raised to $8. Ough said the $6 fee was the lowest in the county, and that some towns charge $10. "Towns are charging between $6 and $10, and we thought $8 would be fair," Ough said.

The Ulysses town board must still vote on the proposal, and has several months to make its decision. A vote in favor of Auble's plan by the town board could force a court decision. Approval from both the town and village boards is needed for annexa- tion without court intervention. Trumansburg Mayor Carl Mann Jr. said that Auble's plan would not help the village. "We didn't see any gain in expanding, there was no benefit to the village." Mann said. Mann said that "it is not in the overall public interest to approve the proposed annexation." He then read from the resoluton which listed the reasons for disapproval. Among them, Mann said that the owner's alluding to future com- mercial development on the land would "dwarf all of the existing business districts of the village and substantially alter the character of the neighborhood." Mann also said that the village's sewer and water systems are of "limited capacity," and would be strained by the addi- tion of 38 acres of land for com- mercial use. The mayor also said long-range planning for the village should pre- cede the addition of the area to the village, "not follow it." Mann said that the board's de- cision took into consideration oral comments made by residents at a public hearing Jan. 25, adjourned and concluded Feb. 3, and the writ- ten comments of about 30 town residents. The public hearing Jan, 25 drew nearly 200 residents to the Trumansburg High School auditorium. The Feb. 3 session drew about 40. Both nights the majority of people spoke against the plan. The plan, submitted by Auble, owner of Bill Auble Construction and the Leisure Living Trailer Park in Trumansburg, is the second at- tempt in two years by the local businessman to gain approval to build a $1.1 million supermarket - drug store complex on 38 acres of land along Route 96. Two years ago the town board turned down his request to rezone the property from residential to commercial. Auble's attorney, Peter Walsh of Ithaca, said he was "naturally dis- appointed" by decision. He said annexation could stimulate com- mercial growth in the village and town. "I think by its decision, the village is deciding that commercial development, if It is to occur at all, will occur outside the village." Walsh said that the downtown village "is in a state of disrepair," adding that the area is "far too limited and won't attract major investors." Walsh said there might be more people who favor the plan than is believed. "People who favor the plan, with rare exceptions, won't come forth and speak," the attorney said. Auble could not be reached for comment. Acting Town Supervisor Robert Herrick said last week that the town board will not vote until the return in April of Town Supervisor Bruce Payne, who is vacationing in Flori- da. One town board member, how- ever, was willing Tuesday to say how he will vote. James Vorp, newest member of the town board, and a former village board member, said he will vote against annexation. "I agree with what the village board has done," Vorp said, "I'm opposed to annexation." J C' 0 I I I �dl9yi 2Q iDO4 2iqCi/1 �.nze e O/l8uiLlind S)2ance COURT HOUSE.

Adopted Mr. Agard Aye Mr. Smith Aye Mr. Vorp Aye Mr. Herrick Aye County Representative James Mason reported the signing of a two year contract with the Deputy Sheriff Association at a special session that day. He discussed salary and step schedule incorp- orated into the contract. He noted that because of the uncertainty of State reimbursement the County had reduced funding for a,gypsy moth program. The Smith Woods is heavily infested with egg masses so there may be a serious problem in our area this summer. Town Justice Richard Montgomery addressed the Board urging adoption of three resolutions endorsed by the State Magistrates' Association. He explained each proposed resolution and the background of same. After Mr. Herrick ascertained there was no further discussion, Mr. Smith moved, seconded by Mr. Vorp, adoption of the following resolu- tions: A. WHEREAS: town and village courts hear and determine cases involving violations of state law, and WHEREAS: fines and penalties collected by such courts are paid to the State in recognition of the fact that such violations are state offenses, and WHEREAS: in recognition of the services provided by local courts, the State of New York has provided in section 99-1 of e the General Municipal Law that local courts shall be reimbursed for services rendered in such cases in the amount of $5.00. for each case, and WHEREAS: the amount of $5.00 was originally set forth in the Code of Criminal Procedure by Chapter 737 of the Laws of 1939 and has remained unchanged for the past 42 years, and WHEREAS: the cost of operation of local courts has increased substantially since 1939, while no increase in reimburse- ment by the State to local government for court services has been granted, now THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED: that the Ulysses Town Board urge that the Assembly and Senate do pass Assembly Bill 6282 and Senate Bill 2188, which would increase the amount of such reimbursement from $5.00 to $15.00, and FURTHER RESOLVED: that Governor Carey be urged to sign such legislation into law. Ulysses Town Board 3-9-82 page 2 '73 B. WHEREAS: the statutes of this state establish maximum fees which all courts, including justice courts, may charge for rendering certain services in civil cases, and WHEREAS: the cost of operating town and village courts, as well as other courts, has increased substantially in recent years, and WHEREAS: the amount of these permissible fees in all other courts has been increased substantially, while the maximum level in justice courts has remained unchanged for more than 40 years, and WHEREAS: town and village courts have thus not been able to keep pace with the other courts, nor with the rapidly increasing costs of government, and WHEREAS: this inability has worked to the detriment of the real property taxpayers who must fund this difference out of their real property tax, now THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED: that the Ulysses Town Board urge the State Legislature to pass, and the Governor to sign, Assembly Bill 4695, by M. of A. Kidder; Senate Bill 33O4, by Senator Barclay. C. WHEREAS: the present law limits the maximum amount which the State may return to local governments for certain local violations to a sum not to exceed $2 per capita, and WHEREAS: this $2 maximum was established in the law in 1965, or 17 years ago, and WHEREAS: the cost of operating local law enforcement agencies and courts has greatly increased in the past 17 years, without any corresponding increase in the amount of fine moneys which may be retained by local governments, and WHEREAS: the original purpose of this bill has somewhat dimin- ished in light of the fact that the state and federal governments are both encouraging lower speed limits and greater law enforcement in the area of traffic con- trol, now THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED: that the Ulysses Town Board urge the enactment into law of Assembly Bill 1387 and Senate Bill 1894, which would increase the maximum amount of money which may be retained by local government to a level not to exceed $5 per capita. Adopted Mr. Agard Aye Mr. Smith Aye Mr. Vorp Aye Mr. Herrick Aye Justice Montgomery thanked the Board for acting on the resolutions and also for purchase of the court/meeting room flags. Mr. Herrick read proposed changes in the Town's Personnel Policy noting that the changes are consistant with Tompkins County and Tompkins Community Hospital. After considerable comment Mr. Herrick stated that the changes had been discussed with the highway crew and were being brought to public attention but not for their • approval or disapproval as the Board would make that decision. Mr. Vorp moved, seconded by Mr. Agard, acceptance of the amendments to the Personnel Policy (copy attached). Voted and unanimously carried. Rick Frost, Director of Ulysses Youth Unlimited, highlighted 'crisis situations' from their Annual Report (previously submitted to Board members) and made himself available for any questions. There was a discussion on the merits of having, and compensation for, the position of Deputy Highway Superintendent. Mr. Agard moved, seconded by Mr. Vorp, adoption of the following resolution: RESOLVED: that the Ulysses Town Board create the position of Deputy Highway Superintendent with increase in compensation to the appointed individual.

ULYSSES YOUTH UNLIMITED ANNUAL REPORT 1980-1981 ti ULYSSES YOUTH UNLIMITED, INC. P.O. Box 288 Trumansburg, NY 14886 (607) 387 5235 Ulysses Youth Unlimited, Inc. (UYU) is a not -for-profit corpor- ation focused on counseling and supportive services for adolescents 12-19 years old within the Town of Ulysses/Trumansburg School District. The agency has one paid staff member - the director. Our office is donated by the First Presbyterian Church of Ulysses and is located in the chapel building on Main Street. Funding sources include: State Division for Youth (DFY) as administered through the county, Town, Village, Community Council, local businesses, local churches, Trumans- burg Area Council of Churches, the Gemm Shop, Bib -n -Tucker and personal gifts. Our budget for 1981 was $16,274, the projected budget for 1982 is $19,582. DFY has allocated $5,993 for 1982. In 1981, a Special Delinquency Prevention Program (SDPP) fund was established by the State and UYU submitted a grant proposal to create a second position. This proposal was funded for 1981 at $8,600 for nine months and at $14,200 for 1982. in addition to these two full time positions, we have arranged to share staff with two other agencies. The Elmira Psychiatric Center (a state hospital) lends us a licensed clinical psychologist five hours per week. Likewise, the Ithaca Family and Children's Services lends us a counselor with a master's degree in Family and Children Counseling five hours per week. These two people greatly enhance the quality and depth of service UYU can provide to the community. UYU has identified the following problem areas: A. a need to have a knowledgeable person to talk with about problems and conflicts, someone not directly involved in those problems which are often either familial, school, legal or peer group in nature. B. the need for an advocate aware of and responsive to exist- ing community resources. C. the need of a preventive program to interceed with or for the adolescent prior to serious trouble or crises situations. D. the need for jobs and gainful employment. E. the need for crisis counseling. F. the need for an emergency housing system within the community. G. the need for recreational activiities. It. the need for family counseling. The UYU program has worked with about 149 adolescents over the past year in an extended manner, i.e. several contacts. Of this number, 101 are in the active file. The others have lost contact for a variety of reasons, including moved away, graduated, placed in another setting, re- solved their problems. There is no count kept of the numerous one time The SDPP has worked through about 20 youth, with ten still in the program. The program was designed to have a limited flow and is staying within its perimeters. Over the last year 4,086 staff hours have been utilized. These include SDPP, UYU, and various summer staff and volunteer's time. This figure does not include the hours of our adjunct psychologist and coun- selor. A total of 3,284 of those hours were spent in direct service equal to 80.5% of total time. THERE ARE NO "PROBLEM KIDS" THERE ARE ONLY CHILDREN WITH PROBLEMS! For the youth, the program, and myself, THANK YOU FOR YOUR INTEREST AND SUPPORT OF ULYSSES YOUTH UNLIMITED! / Rick Fr st Director 44 ULYSSES YOUTH UNLIMITED P. O. Box 288 Trumansburg, N.Y. 14886 (607) 387 5235 ANNUAL REPORT 1980-1981 Ulysses Youth Unlimited, Inc. (UYU) is a not -for-profit corporation which focuses on counseling youth in the Dewy' c;f Ulysses/Trumansburg Central School District. To this end the program has identified the following areas of difficulty and need expressed by local youth (in order of frequency): A. Most primarily a need on the part of youth to have a per- son or persons to talk with about the problems and conflicts in their lives, someone not directly involved in those problems which ara•rbftgngeither familial, school, legal, or peer group rela3ted41 ILA),mA B. The need for an advocate aware of and responsive to existing community resources. C. The need of a preventive program to interceed with or for tije adolescent prior to serious trouble or crisis situation. D. The need for an advocate to act as interface with the family. E. The need for someone to talk with in a crisis situation. F. A need for jobs and gainful employment. G. The need for recreational activities within the community. H. The need for emergency housing within the community. The following is a brief breakdown and description of the UYU program, how it is designed to meet the needs of our local youth, a reflection on the effectiveness of each facet and pertinent statistics. A. Informal Counseling - This is largely a listening responsiblity to listen to the person's fears, needs, hopes, and problems, to help the individual see as objectively as possible their situation and act as a catalyst in helping them solve their problems. Due to our rural setting, this often entails providing information about available pro- grams, and providing transportation to the needed services. 1. Outreach - the staff person goes to the youth's home or does something with the individual, or small group in a one-to- one manner. The staff may also be on the street seeking youth with which to interact. In the current program this is scheduled Tuesday and Thursday evenings. This has become an increasingly im- portant aspect of the program, especially in the street outreach as there are numerous youth no longer in school who might otherwise be missed. As this is an ongoing daily process there has been no attemptmade to keep strict account of the contacts made. ; 2. Drop -in - the staff and office are open for local youth and their families to come in and talk. This has to somo extent a recreational aspect as groups of youth often gather at the "Youth Center" for some diversions such as ping -pang and foss -ball are available. Drop -in time is currently scheduled for Mondays, 2:30 p.m.- 5:00 p.m., and Wednesdays, 2:30 p.m. -6:00 p.m. ft. This part of the program has seen a most dramatic change. We used to see 10-20 youth per day, and up to 50 per day in the summer. We are now seeing an average of five per week come in. This drop is due to the turn over of youth in the program. At this time last year we had a cohesive coregroup of about 50 youth who regularly used the drop -in. Of that 50, five are still active in the program. The others have graduated and moved on, been placed in other programs, or moved from the area. I believe this is part of a cycle that we will see repeatedly through the life of the program. It is also important to note that this vacuum has been filled with youth presenting a different style of need. The group last year formed a click - a very needy click as demonstrated by the fact we went through some form of crisis with almost everyone of them - however, the youth that have moved in to fill the vacuum are also needy, but they form no cohesive group. This is a positive step, UYU should not be connected with any one group or type of youth as this alienates other potential clientele. Average contact with 5-8 youth per week 3. School Outreach - this aspect of the program has also taken on a new look. The staff is still present in the junior and senior highs during lunch, but we are also present in the various classes, and are providing noon hour activities. In the junior high we present a self-defense class on Wednesday and Friday, and open woodshop one day a, week in cooperation with the teacher. In the senior high we are present two periods a day in the woodshop and autoshop. Many of the youth are not academically oriented and our presence in these type of activities allows for very positive and useful contact within the school setting. Average of 4-6 meaningful conversations with youth per day in school setting and "in touch" conversations with numerous others. B. Prevention Program 1. Drop -in - the emphasis has changed from this facet of UYU and been refocused on School Outreach, and outreach as des- cribed above. The kind of casual and monitory contact that use to occur in the drop -in center now takes place in the schools and on the streets. The previous group of youth wanted and used the drop -in facilities, the current group does not. I think this should be viewed as a positive statement of program feasibility in meeting the changing demands of our target population. 2. special Delinquency Prevention Program(SDPP) - this pro- gram was created with SDPP funding from New York State Division for Youth. It created the second fulltime position at UYU. This program is designed to work with 10-12 youth who, for whatever reason have been recognized by police, schools, UYU, etc. as either in trouble or having a tendency toward or a living situation that would generate socially unacceptable behavior. We have included a SDPP annual state- ment (see attached). 3. Outreach - as described above. Average 2-3 youth per day Annual Report page three C. Interface with Family 1. Family counseling - often this is simply discussing a family situation with the youth, other times the staff goes into the home to assist the family in developing new and effective means of com- munications. If the situation is severe or nonproductive referrals are made. 13 cases this year D. Crisis Situations - These are times of major upheaval in an adoles- cent's life. Often a situation at home which may result in a run away attempt, a crisis at school, consideration of dropping out of school, or a personal emotional situation where the individual's problem coping mechanism has been overloaded are examples of such events. Each crisis situation generates a unique sat of needs to which the staff respond either directly or by referral. Runaways - 11 cases Serious injury - I case Child abuse- 5 Emotional problem - 10 Death of a parent - B Suicide attempt - 6 Arrests - 11 E. Advocacy - Whereby the staff acts as interface between youth and some aspects of society such as police, schools, court, etc. The attempt is to support the youth and allay their fears by helping them to under- stand the process with which they are engaged and tb make sure the adoles- cent's views are communicated and understood. Legal advocacy including going to court with youth, talk- ing with police, researching legal resources, etc. - 20 Advocacy in the schools - 19 cases 1. Interagency referral - due to the rural nature of this pro- gram and our limited resources, the lack of awareness on the part of our clients of possible resources in the county and the difficulty of transportation, a significant amount of agency time is occupied making referrals to and connections with other agencies. A conserva- tive estimate is one hour per working day spent on the phone in ad- vocacy. The agencies most often referred to or consulted with are the Tompkins County Probation and Family Court, Tompkins County Planned Parenthood, Ithaca Youth Bureau, Trumansburg Police Depart- ment, Trumansburg Central Schools, Elmira Psychiatric Center, Tompkins County Suicide Prevention Service, and the local churches. Please refer to addendum titled "Advocacy/Referrals" F. Youth Employment Service (Y.E.S.) - Virtually every teenager in contact with the Youth Center wants a job, they want to work and they want the independence of having their own income. The YES program attempts to connect these teens with people in the community who need things done, odd jobs, etc., or have part time or full time jobs suitable for adolescents. The program starts with an intake form and interview, usually the first for the client, during the process the idea of how to deal with job interviews is discussed, what to wear, the importance of being on time, etc. Often the jobs the teens get are their very first experience of working for money. YES calls each employer after the job is done and reflects with the youth how they did and how to improve. These jobs are usually a very positive experience for the youth, greatly enhancing their self image and self esteem. The effects are some- times amazing, for a youth who has never had any positive reinforcement Annual Report page four to suddenly be paid to do something, a statement of worth, can be extremely important in their further development. Number of jobs - 33 Number of youth referred - 42 G. Recreation - The recreation facet of lift has two goals. One, to give the teens something to do that is low in competition with a high degree of success, and secondly to give one more chance for close staff - client contact to facilitate counseling. In the summer the recreation program is greatly expanded, as allowed by staff and resources available. Currently we have a school gym on Wed- nesday nights from 6:00-8:00 p.m. Other activities such as hikes, bowl- ing, roller skating, dances, etc. occur as time, staffing and resources allow. There is a great need in Trumansburg for youth activities. H. Emergency Housing - Tompkins County as a whole and especially Tru- mansburg has a need for emergency housing. This is a temporary shelter for up to two weeks, that allows a youth a safe place to stay and food to eat while other accomodations can be arranged. The preferred solution is to return the adolescent to the home situation and involve the family in counseling. If this is not a possibility then placement with another agency is sought.

To help cover our fre- quent absences from tlje office an answering device has been installed. Staffing: UYU has one paid fulltime position - director. SDPP ha's one fulltime position - coordinator. In addition to these two people we have had one EOC position, one CETA position, and one parttime summer position this year. We had one volunteer during the first quarter who left to return to school to pursue a social service major. There have been no field study or work study students this year. UYU has been fortunate enough to receive support services from the Elmira Psychiatric Center (a state agency) in the form of Dr. Halton, a licensed psychologist, for five hours each week. Family and Children's Services has also provided us with support staffing. Until August Dr. Kiele, a psychologist, worked with us and then she was replaced by Ms. Gilavitch who has a Master's degree in Family and Children's Counseling. The time and talent of these people have been utilized almost entirely in direct service to individual adolescents referred to them through UYU. Through their help and services the depth and quality of services we have been able to offer here in Trumansburg has been immensily extended. Many youth who need this depth of assistance would not have received it had these support people not been available in town. For all of us I wish to say a deep thanks to these people and their agencies. Future: There are four main factors of import in the foreseeable future. The first is the shifting of the type of needs that our target population is exhibiting. Since there is no long standing data on these shifts, it is very difficult to predict the flow of this apparent cycle. However, I would guess that toward summer we will see the number of youth at the Drop -in Center start to increase. This will be a dropout of the contin- uing emphasis on small group and one-to-one contacts through the school year. Then with the expanded staff time and recreational activities in the summer there will be a larger use of the drop -in center, though I doubt that it will reach the level of the summer of 1980. Also the evening and weekend activities will be ingreater demand as economic pressures force a Annual Report page six a large percentage of adolescents to seek employment or stay at home with siblings while parents work. Changes in staff will also cause a flux in the cycle. A second factor will be staffing. Fewer college students are entering into social service majors. This reduces the number of work and field study students interested in working in UYU type operations. Due to trans- portation problems the few interested students will be caught by the Ithaca agencies. Thus it is very possible that UYU will not enjoy its usual in- crease in summer staff and thus a reduction in the summer program is possible. The third major, perhaps the most critical, situation facing UYU in the next year will be the tightening of monies available to the program. As the federal government continues to reduce its aid to the state, which already is cut by $800 million, all state funding will become tighter and more difficult to obtain. Thus UYU will be forced into more paper work to defend and justify itself, leading to a reduction in direct services. Likewise time will have to be spent in soliciting private sector monies. which will also be tightening as individuals, charitable organizations, and business attempt to deal with economic pressures of their own. In short UYU and its governing board will have to focus more on basic fund- ing and the securing of these funds. Lastly, as I expect to resign in late spring, there will be changes brought about by the next director. The very nature of UYU causes the. pro - grant to focus on and around this position, so naturally a change here will ripple through out the program. I would guess these will be minor changes - as the basic problems we work with will not change. Closing: The upcoming year will be very challenging for UYU with a new director coming on, ever increasing economic pressures both on the. program and on our youth and their families, there will be alot of work to be done. Historically increased economic hardships 'lead to increases in divorces, child abuse, and general tension in the lives of youth. I'd like to thank all the people and agencies who have helped and supported UYU. A special word of thanks to Reverend Thomas Lange, President of the TRUST Board, 1980-1981, founding member, and stearsman for the past eight years and who has now resigned to use his experience elsewhere.

Ulysses Youth Unlimited Special Delinquency Prevention I'regran P.U. Box 288 Trumanshurg, N.Y. 14886 Annual Report, 1961 Within this first funding year, the UYUSDPP has become an integral part of the general t'1'U program. Operating within its designed parameters, the UYUSDPP has been established within the local community, and has helped further the UYU presence in the schools, on the streets, and in the homes of several youth within the Trumanshurg; School District. As the program begins its second funding year, we all should be proud that we received the largest single State Division for Youth Spacial Delinquency Prevention Program grant appropriated by Tompkins 'County for fiscal year 1982. In Mar ch 198], when the SDPP began, we received 61 referrals; through the year, 32 additional referrals have been received. Of these referrals, the program has worked in depth with 22 youngsters. At present, there are 8-10 youth within the core group. The SDPP has referred to the general UYU program 16 youth. One youth and his family has been referred to Dr. Chris Eddy -Haltom, our psychiatrist from the Elmira Psychiatric Center, for extensive family counseling. The program is prevention oriented, and has focussed on youth of Middle School age. Some of the problems encountered include strained relationships with peers and/or family, inadequate living conditions, substance abuse, on the part of the youth and/or some member(s) in the family, perry theft, car related incidents, school related incidents, and sexual problems. The program offers outside support in the form of counseling, advocacy, and referral to legal and social services. During this first year, a very good working relationship has been established with the Trumansburg Schoolsadministration staff. We are particularly available to students during lunch hour, and have free access to kids during the entire school day. So as to increase my exposure to youth in a structured manner, I have been assis ing the Middle School wnc,d shop teacher one period each day.

'Commhdoo sat.',,., Ft..:'. 30, 19_� Notary HEARING MINUTES A public hearing on the proposed annexation of 38 acres owned by Bill Auble and a small corner of property owned by Mr. Robinson was held before the Town Board, Town of Ulysses and the Board of Trustees of the Village of Trumansburg. The hearing was called to order at 7:05 p.m. on Monday, January 25, 1982 at the Trumansburg High School Auditorium. Carl Mann was nominated chairman of the public hearing. A vote was taken and the motion carried. Mr. Mann gave the ground rules as follows: 1. All comments must be addressed to the combined boards. The boards will then ask the appropriate person to answer. 2. Any person wishing to speak shall be recognized by the chairman before speaking. 3. Each person shall come forward and state their name and address for the record. 4. Comments and questions are limited to Town of Ulysses property owners. At this point several letters were read into the record, copies of which are attached, PETER WALSH from the law firm of Thaler and Thaler addressed the board as a representative of Mr. Auble. He stated Mr. Auble owns property at the. north end of the Village of Trumansburg and hopes to construct a supermarket and drug store on land which he wishes to have annexed. Mr. Walsh stated that although Mr. Auble has no firm commitments yet, P & C has expressed an interest in the construction of a new store. He read into the record a letter (copy attached) which gave water usage figures for the new construction. Mr. Walsh then asked Mr. Auble to come forward to answer the following questions. MR. AUBLE: I am William James Auble who resides at 25 Reynolds Road. MR. WALSH: How long have you lived there? MR. AUBLE: 40 years. MR. WALSH: Is your construction company owner of property which is the subject of this hearing? MR. AUBLE: Yes. MR. WALSH: How large an area do you wish to use for the development? MR. AUBLE: 21 acres. J MR. WALSH: How large an area would-be devoted to the supermarket? MR. AUBLE: 7 or 8 acres. Hearing Minutes January 25, 1982 Page 2 MR. WALSH: Do you have some indication of what the cost would be? MR. AUBLE: $750,000. MR. WALSH: And do you have a figure for the drug store? MR. AUBLE: $350,000. Carl Mann then opened the hearing for questions or comments from the floor. MARTIN LUSTER of Perry City Road, Town of Ulysses, stated that a year and a half ago Mr. Auble came before the board requesting a change of zoning from resi- dential to commercial. The board had asked Mr. Auble to submit a detailed plan which would bind him to a course of action. Mr. Auble never submitted the plans and the matter was never acted upon. Mr. Luster feels Mr. Auble is now asking for basically the same thing --the land to be annexed with ultimate commercial use. Mr. Luster also feels questions of safety and economic effect on downtown exist along with the question of proper planning. Why didn't Mr. Auble comply a year and a half ago? PETER WALSH answered that there were certain problems last time such as police protection which is addressed by annexation. Some of the concerns about moving commercial areas from within to outside would be addressed by annexation. PAUL BINGHAM of South Street asked if the demographics are in the best interest of the people of Trumansburg. Would Holtons move into the drug store space or would a chain store? What will happen to the old P & C building? Where are the blueprints for the new building? Will it be in concert with the down- town decor? Will the design fit in? PETER WALSH answered that blueprints are not available because Mr. Auble doesn't have a commitment yet. There are two further stages to go through before building --zoning which would permit development and obtaining a building permit. A drug store chain would probably operate the drug store. The old P & C building lease expires in 1991. They will then act to fill the building so it will not sit fallow.. The type of construction will be a fire resistant, one story building. The effect on downtown would hopefully be to -attract more business. ARLEE ROBINSON of Jacksonville has served as a zoning enforcement officer and a consultant on zoning revisions for the Town of Ulysses. She asked how a government body could consider annexation of one side of the street only and not the other. By accepting the. proposal they will be leaving a business and four homes in the Town of Ulysses surrounded by the Village of Trumansburg which would be spot or strip zoning. She feels there should be a long range plan for this area developed with help from the Tompkins County Planning Department. Hearing Minutes January 25, 1982 Page 3 TOM LANGE, a resident of the Village of Trumansburg and president of the Senior Citizens Housing Complex stated that the complex was located in an area to make it easy for residents to get to stores. If the P & C was moved to this new area it would make it more difficult to give residents of the complex what they had hoped to give them. SUSAN PERKINS GARNER of West Main Street agreed with Arlee's comments. A planned development area would be the conscientious way to proceed and she favors this. WAYNE RICWORKO of Cayuga Street asked what this would cost the Village in terms of taxes, sewer and water. CARL MANN answered this would depend on what use is made of the property. A water usage of 1400 gallons per day would be no problem. If sewer usage expanded dramatically there could possibly be problems. WAYNE then asked if once the property was annexed would it come off the tax rolls? CARL MANN replied that the property would go on the Village tax rolls. RUTH KAHN of Route 227, Town of Ulysses, asked why this development could not be put on property already within the Town of Trumansburg. Why is it necessary for the Town to go out of its way to take a step specifically for the benefit of the P & C? BILL AUBLE replied that although he now owns property to the south of the Village on Route 96, p & C is not interested in building there. P & C con- tacted him because they had taken a survey and that was the only area they were interested in. Because of state roads, water and sewer, etc. they will not build on any other site in the area. They want only to build on the area their study has shown is the best. PETER WALSH commented that he had a letter from P & C in October of 1980. Mr. Walsh read part of the letter which stated that P & C's first desire would be to continue at the old P & C store, but that is impractical. Due to parking and volume of sales they feel Mr. Auble's property is the only one which meets all their. needs. BARBARA SEAVERS addressed the quality of life question and how it will be affected. She feels the impact on the connunity would be non -beneficial -- traffic and noise will increase. She also feels the current P & C does not operate in an efficient manner. If they want more profit, let them go some- where else. JIM SEVERS who recently purchased the Trumansburg Food Liner asked what would be gained by a new store. Better prices? Better service? He doesn't feel building a big store will help downtown Trumansburg. GENE ENDRES of Gregg Street In Trumansburg asked what rental would be charged P & C. Mr. Auble will probably get something extra he felt, Hearing Minutes January 25, 1982 Page 4 CARL MANN answered he would probably make a profit, but that is not the business of the board. BOB MAHONEY of Kraft Road in Jacksonville said that if this property is annexed the Village would be providing a service of police and fire pro- tection, water and sewer. Is there police or fire protection now? CARL MANN replied that there is police and fire protection paid for by the Town. MR. MAHONEY then stated that Mr. Auble is a businessman and has the right to do with the property as he wishes. Competition would bring business and not take business away. RICKY GREGOIRE-COPE, a resident of the Village, remembers when the current P & C store was built and hopes a new building would last longer. She mentioned that the P & C building in Ithaca stands empty and helps no one. The population in Trumansburg is declining and she doesn't feel there will be the support for these businesses. BOB STEWART of Main Street feels that if P & C wants to build on this property they should come up with some kind of a guarantee. Why should the burden be on the Town to annex? EMMA LOU SHIECK, a resident of the Village of Trumansburg, feels that since this isn't a new store coming in it is not competition. She moved here because Trumansburg is not Lansing or Ithaca and doesn't want to be in competition with them. She doesn't want a mall at her back door, DAVID GALLAGHER of Route 96, Town of Covert asked to address the Board as the access road for this new store would be very close to his back door. The board agreed to let him make a statement. He is concerned about the quality of his environment. He would not want a number of cars going back and forth by his back door. He recently moved to this area to avoid that. WARREN HICKMAN, a resident of Trumansburg believes profits are essential to this country. His concern is that Trumansburg has a commercial area and if it is expanded to the new northern limit will all the area be utilized? Will there eventually be a full plaza? If so, what happens to the downtown area? What happens to the tax base? He believes an overall plan should be developed. JACK FULTON, fire chief and a property owner in Trumansburg noted that the new fire code specifies that a complete fire alarm and sprinkler system would be installed and hooked into the fire station alarm system. He asked that personal feelings not enter into this decision --give Mr. Auble a fair chance, PETER KAHN of Route 227, Town of Ulysses stated that if P & C moves they will be leaving an empty building which will be very difficult to fill. He expressed hope that Trumansburg never develops too much. LARRY RIVERBEE who owns property on Main Street is trying to revitalize down- town Trumansburg. He would like to see plans for this new development. When he moved here and opened an office five stores were empty. They eventually filled but now there are several empty again. He feels that if a new grocery and drug store and possibly another store are opened, that will be the end of downtown. Hearing Minutes January 25, 1982 Page 5 THOMAS REEVES, President of the Jacksonville Community Association felt there should be some long range planning done. He asked what length pf time the hearing record will be open for comments. What procedure and action will be taken to act on Mr. Auble's request? Will a negative vote result in the rejection of his request? He commended the board for sending out questionnaires with tax notices and asked what the result was and if the information would become part of the hearing record. CARL MANN answered that the hearing record would close after the hearing is adjourned or a period not to exceed ten days. After this hearing is completed the boards will act as separate entities. A vote will be taken by each board within ninety days. If one board agrees and one disagrees, the matter may go to the Appellate Division. If both disagree, the matter is dead. Mr. Mann said not much weight could be given to the questionnaire as some forms were distributed through local stores so it would be possible for some people to have filled out more than one form. There were some written comments, however, which will be considered. MR. REEVES asked if he could request to have the hearing extended for ten days to submit written questions. MR. MANN answered he would wait till the end of this hearing to make a decision. MILLIE TUBBS of Cayuga Road stated that when chain stores move into the Village they will be managed by outside people on their way to bigger operations. She feels the economic base should be considered --how many businesses can be supported here. ALAN WEATHERBY, owner and operator of Lamoreaux-Quinn stated he would be in the island created by this annexation. He wondered if he would be offered water and sewer service or if the Village would just jog around him. He asked what the advantages and disadvantages would be to annexation. MR. MANN answered they were not there to discuss advantages or disadvantages with anyone. The island created would be considered before a decision was made. He felt Mr. Weatherby would not be offered water and sewer service, but possibly police protection. MR. WEATHERBY commented that he cannot convey his feelings here unless he knows more of what will happen to the town or village. ARTHUR GOLDER commented that Mr. Weatherby has as much information as these boards. They are holding this hearing because the law requires it. The purpose is to receive evidence and objections. PAUL BINGHAM asked why Mr. Auble wants to annex this property. There is a lot of money involved. If he wants to annex for police protection, why not buy a dog? CARL MANN stated that he doesn't have these answers. After the board finishes listening, they can deliberate. There is nothing being kept secret. Hearing Minutes January 25, 1982 Page 6 ALAN WEATHERBY asked if the boards can decide tonight if the public has any more input. CARL MANN answered they will act on this request to give time for written comment. MARTIN LUSTER stated the board is asking for feelings without giving any base of information. Will the board make their decision on just this knowledge or will there be more information the board will get in the future? MR. MANN stated they will not just leave here and take a vote at the next meeting. They will do a lot of fact finding. The boards will look at out- side sources and tonight's comments and then make a decision. MARTIN LUSTER asked why the board didn't get the facts and plans and then hold a public hearing, rather than just getting gut feelings at this time. CARL MANN stated that is why the matter was discussed with Mr. Auble's attorney. JOHN McCONNELL of Cayuga Street asked what the advantage is to the Village of Trumansburg annexing a piece of property. He would like to know what the additional facts and opinions are before the board takes their vote. CARL MANN answered the board does not have an opinion on if this is good or bad for the community right now. It has to be decided on by the community as a whole. The board is getting opinions now. BARBARA SEAVERS stated that feasibility studies are the mainstay of any business going into a community. They study what residents buy, how old they are, etc. She would like to see this information before a decision is made. She feels Trumansburg should keep what it has and improve what it has. RUTH KAHN asked that when the board makes their decision they make public the information they considered. CARL MANN stated the law says the board must consider if the proposed annexation is in the public interest. TOM FERRETTI of the Trumansburg police department stated that if a new P & C is opened there will probably be more complaints relating to traffic, etc. but he feels the police department can handle the problem. He also mentioned that the old P & C has refused to renew the lease for his laundromat in 1985. LARRY RIVERBEE feels that when Mr. Auble petitioned before, he did not have enough information and now he has even less. He feels P & C should be here to present more information. ROGER RECTOR of Congress Street in Trumansburg asked if this property is annexed if it would automatically be zoned commercial. Will this set a precedent? If this area were to be zoned residential, would it still fit Mr. Auble's needs? Mr. Rector would like an increased tax base. If water and sewer were denied, what would Mr. Auble's alternatives be? Hearing Minutes January 25, 1982 Page 7 MR. GOLDER replied that if the property were annexed it would not automatically be zoned commercial. There would have to be an adoption of local law that would annex the property and the date that it would become effective. There would be enough time given to zone the property. This hearing can be adjourned for not more than ten days. Mr. Golder felt there was no more information to be acquired. MR. RECTOR asked if this land could be zoned in different sections or would it all have to be zoned the same? MR. GOLDER replied that is the option of the Village. MR. RECTOR asked if this could be zoned residential. MR. GOLDER replied, yes. MR. MANN stated that the only consideration tonight is if the land should be annexed. At a later date the zoning question would be answered. PETER WALSH commented that Mr. Auble would prefer to get the complete package, but the law doesn't allow this. He has to first have the land annexed and then come back for zoning. Mr. Auble is taking a gamble on this. There is already water and sewer to the property. P & C has not made a commitment, Mr. Auble is the only one with a stake in this. EARL RICHAR would like the property to be annexed if there is any profit to be gained so his taxes can be helped. FRANK SCHAFER of South Street believes P & C should give a statement of intent. He feels these boards could have come up with information on what each munic- ipality was going to lose and gain and what each would offer. He feels the board should not only receive information but give out some information so these people could make up their own minds. CARL COX of Cayuga Street also felt more information should have been provided. CARL MANN then stated there was a request to adjourn the meeting to a time within ten days to have written comments submitted. A motion was made and seconded to reconvene at 7:00 p.m. on February 3, 1982 at the Trumansburg High School Auditorium. If the school would not be available, a notice would be placed in the paper. Seven members of the board voted in favor of this motion; Tom Smith, Bob Herrick and Bill Agard were opposed. A motion was made and passed to adjourn the public hearing at 9:40 p.m. Respectfully submitted, ALICE LINTON MINUTES OF HEARING A public hearing on the proposed annexation of land owned by William Auble was reconvened before the Town Board, Town of Ulysses and the Board of Trustees of the Village of Trumansburg on February 3, 1982 in the Trumansburg High School auditorium at 7:00 p.m. Approximately thirty letters were received since the public hearing held on January 25, 1982. These letters are attached to the minutes and are available for public inspection. The public is entitled to copies of min- utes of the public hearings if a copy charge is paid. Also attached to the minutes is a form titled "Properties Proposed for Annexation" which was explained by Carl Mann. Mr. Mann then opened the hearing for questions or comments from the public, but asked that redundancy be avoided. MARGARET BARTELL asked for an explanation of what the proposed plan was. CARL MANN answered that the public hearing is to discuss annexation of 30+ acres of land on the north side of the Village of Trumansburg. Approximately 22,000 square feet would possibly be used for a P & C and 12,000 square feet for a possible drug store. Annexation would not necessarily mean that this property would be rezoned. ED MOSELEY felt there was no plan for the proposed land use. He also believes when there is increased density, increased problems are likely. DON RITTER asked if the land was zoned agricultural. CARL MANN answered he believed it. was zoned agricultural/residential. REGIS CARVER of Cayuga Street asked if this land is annexed would it create spot zoning. CARL MANN replied that before the land is zoned, questions such as this will have to be examined. EARL RICHAR stated he was interested in expanding the tax base and in developing property in a conscientious fashion. He would like to see the land developed the right way with water and sewer problems considered now. ED MOSELEY asked why no specific information has been given. Is the lowering of the tax base going to lower the crime rate? Why isn't a plan put to- gether so these questions can be answered logically. MARGARET BARTELL suggested that an environmental study should be done and someone should look at the total picture before the board makes their decision. RICHARD GARNER of West Main Street in the Town of Ulysses mentioned a survey that was taken by the Department of Planning at Cornell in 1977-78. The study recommended that a compact business district be maintained with con- sideration for some of the historic buildings. An Economic Development Committee was recommended by the study. If the community trys to support two business districts will the community change --will houses sell as easily? Mr. Garner felt more goods and services should be available to the community. The community could further develop what they have or hook up to the Ithaca Transit System so there would be easy access to Ithaca stores. The board should take a look at the broader aspect. PETER WALSH stated the only new information he had since the previous hearing was on traffic. For a supermarket and drug store with possibly one or two other small stores there would be an average of 80 cars per hour for the time the stores were open. It is Mr. Auble's hope to have this property annexed and build a P & C. However, he has no commitment from P & C at this time. He mentioned that a referendum had been suggested, but that this could be used only in an advisory way by the boards. MARTIN LUSTER asked if once this hearing was adjourned if any more information would be obtained by the board. CARL MANN replied that the board would not accept any more information after this hearing adjourns. If they have specific questions, they can search for the answers, however. BOB STOVER asked to go on record as being in favor of this annexation. MARGARET BARTELL asked if Mr. Auble had submitted a proposal at this tine. CARL MANN answered that the only proposal is that stating Mr. Auble's intent to build a store. PAUL BINGHAM asked if the board had more information this week than last week, specifically designs for the buildings themselves.

MARGARET BARTELL asked if there was any other reason why the board would consider annexing the property. MR. MANN answered the board will decide if the annexation is in the best interest of the village residents. The board would not be restricted to any given reason. MARGARET BARTELL asked If the reason the annexation was being considered was so a mall could be built. MR. MANN replied that Mr. Auble submitted a petition for annexation. By law the board is required to give public notice and hold a public hearing and decide for or against, -2- BOB STEWART of Main Street asked if the board was forced to follow the letter of the law in considering the annexation of this property.

Tax receipts in February accounted for $168.57 in penalty fees paid to the Supervisor and $15,000 sent to the County Office of Budget & Finance. Mr. Holtkamp reported on highway activities during February and noted they had cleaned ice out of a ditch on Brook Road and thawed ice in culvert on Frontenac Road; hauled salt and stone; plowed and salted as needed.

Saturday a!ternl on they worked to give the Trumansburg Blue Raiders a Class C, Central Region basketball championship by defeating the Jodan-Elbridge Eagles, 72-59, in the Utica College Fieldhouse, The Blue Raiders (25-0) advance to the Western Zone state semifinal and will face Section 5 Lyons at 7:30 p.m. Friday at Cayuga Community College in Auburn. Lyons (24-0) kept its undefeated record intact by de- feating Section 6 Falconer, 74-63, in the Western Region final. The winner of Friday's game will advance to the Class C state final and the 'Super 16' March 26-28 at Glens Falls. "We've got a lot of ways we can get you," is the way T -burg coach Wes Somerville described it, "Great balance," is the way J -E coach Bill Solomon described it. With the starting five playing their roles — Tad Brown the leader, Barth Gardner the catalyst, Rod VanDerzee the strong, Chris Mason the steady and Chip Champion the stopper — and the bench adding its play, this team has found a way to beat 25 straight opponets. Obviously, though, it's the bench that brings up the subject of bat- Advance Continued from Page 13 from the field and 47.6 percentage from the foul line, it certainly wasn't shooting that keyed the win. In rebounding, however, the Blue Raiders had a 36.27 advantage, In turnovers, Jordan-Elbridge had 30 to Trumansburg's 13. J -E also shot a dismal 38.4 percent from the field. VanDerzee led the Blue Raiders in scoring with 17 points and rebound- ing with 12 boards. Gardner was next with 16 points and Brown added 15. "Chip Champion, played the best game of his career tonight," Somer- ville said. "His defense and reboun- ding was a big key in the second half." "I just try to play good defense and help the other guys out as much as I can," Champion said. JonDAN•FLBRIDGE 1591 Cooper 9.130, Bard 4.240. Wheeler 4.1.10, McLaughlin 141 Follr 14-4.

He's the kid the home crowd goes wild for upon entering the game, With the score something like 75.42, he comes in with two minutes left to play. Working hard, he may get a shot off in all the confusion. When he does, the home crowd begs the shot to fall. If it does, you would think he ance. So do the tournament games — do or die, every one of them, At times, it's been any one, or any combination of Erin l/orden, Jim Crossgrove, Russ Carpenter or Pat Bassett, that has made the opposing coach shake his head, Saturday af- ternoon It was Carpenter and Bassett. Down 11.6 with 3:10 left in the first quarter. Bassett and Carpenter — in their own way — helped to rally the Blue Raiders. "Rebounding, that's what the coach wants me to do when I go in there," Carpenter, the Blue Raiders' 6-2 junior strongman, said. "Create play and push the ball up the floor is what coach wants me to do," Bassett, a 5.10 guard, said. "Fastbreak, that's my game and that's T -burg's game." Doing their thing, those two helped 'F -burg wear down its Section 3 opponent. Through the first half the score was close, then, as has become the norm, T -burg broke the game open in the second half. With J -E sharpshooter Rusty Co- oper burning the nets for 17 first half points (on 6x11 shooting), and the Eagles' well -disguised 2-1-2 zone de- fense troubling the Blue Raiders, J - E battled T -burg evenly in the first half, trailing 33.32 at intermission, After Cooper tied the score at 33 with a free throw to open the second just dropped the game -winner for the state championship. For Trumansburg, that kid is 17 - year -old senior Joe deLara. And there, the similarity between him and all the other home -crowd favor- ites comes to an end. Joe deLara is a foreign exchange student from the Philippines. He lives with James and Sue Mason at 70 Searsburg Road in Trumansburg. Chris Mason, starting center for the Blue Raiders, also shares that resi- dence. Having arrived in this country Aug. 24, deLara will return to his home sometime in July. There he plans to enter engineering school. For deLara, T -burg basketball is his first experience in organized basketball. "I've never been a part of any- thing like it," he said. "I can't say I do much to help my teammates, but they've done a lot to help me. They've taught me a lot." So far this season, deLara has scored 16 points. All the rukus he causes when he enters the game he likes, Well, sort of, "It's exciting," he said, "But It makes me nervous," It's 'Raider Week' For their basketball exploits; the Trumansburg Blue Raiders were honored by the Town of Ulysses at Utica Saturday afternoon. To a curious Blue Raider team, Jim Vorp, Ulysses town counciiman, read an official town proclamation that cited the team's successes In half, the Blue Raiders Jumped on the Eagles. Pressing, trapping and switching their defenses, T -burg scored the next three baskets, When Solomon called a timeout at 5:35, his club down 39.33, Somerville raised a clenched fist to his club and smiled, With Champion and Carpenter raising havoc on the boards, T -burg outscored J -E 16-8, taking a 55.41 lead into the final quarter. After that, one had to admire the Eagles. Though teetering near the edge, the Eagles refused to be pushed into the holeT-burg wanted to bury them In. Fourteen points was the biggest margin the Blue Raiders could get on J -E, though the margin never again got below 11. "That flat spot there in the third quarter was our biggest problem," Solomon said. "That and fatigue. Cooper had bronchitis earlier in the week and he got tired in the second half." Shooting 1x12 from the field, Coop- er was held to just three points in the second half. "Also, they just kept putting kids in there who could play," said Solomon. "T -burg has a fine team and represents its section well," For the second game in a row, it was defense and rebounding that did It for T -burg. With a 42.4 percentage Turn to ADVANCE, Page 15 sectional and regional play and decreed the week of March 14th "Blue Raiders' Week."

James Vorp - was not in favor of annexation since thos:most affected were against same. William Agard - was disturbed by the close proximity to fuel and propane tanks so was opposed to annexation. Robert Herrick - commented on the original request for rezoning the land to Commercial. Mr. Auble was invited to submit an application for a planned development district that would give the Town knowledge and control of what would go on the property. He opposed annexation for this reason. S William Smith - opposed annexation echoing Mr. Vorp and Mr. Agard on location and opposition of those most affected. Bruce Payne - was against annexation because Mr. Auble has not carried through on what was required when the trailer park was granted. Mr. Herrick moved, seconded by Mr. Vorp, adoption of the following resolution: WHEREAS: the Town of Ulysses has received a petition from Bill Auble Construction Corp. for annexation of approximately 38 acres of land now adjacent to the northwesterly line of the Village of Trumansburg to the Village of Trumansburg, and WHEREAS: a joint public hearing, upon notice duly published, was held by the Town Board of the Town of Ulysses and the Board of Trustees of the Village of Trumansburg at the Trumansburg Central High School Auditorium on January 25, 1982, which hearing was continued and adjourned to 7:30 P.M. February 3, 1982, when it was concluded, and the testimony, evidence and comments of all persons Ulysses Town Board 4-13-82 page 2 79 wishing to be heard having been taken and transcribed at said public hearing, now THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED: that the Town Board of the Town of Ulysses, County of Tompkins and State of Now York finds and determines as follows: 1. The petition as submitted was not "authenticated" as required by General Municipal Law Section 703 (2) and for that reason does not substantially comply in form with the provisions of the General Municipal Law. 2. The area proposed to be annexed is unimproved and unoccupied and in the past has been used for agri- cultural purposes. Village of Trumansburg water and sewer services are now located adjacent to the area proposed to be annexed. The petitioner did not pro- vide any specific plans for development of the area but indicated he would eventually like to put it to a commercial use and perhaps construct a shopping center there. In 1980 the same petitioner requested this Town Board to rezone the entire 38 acres as a business district in order that he might construct a shopping center anchored by a P & C Food Market; this Town Board declined to rezone the area at that time. 3. Annexation would have no impact upon the overall public interest of either the territory proposed to be annexed or the school district and fire protectio district in which it is located. 4. This Town Board finds, since the area proposed to be annexed is vacant land, and no plans for its develop ment have been supplied by the petitioner, there exists no reason for annexation and it is not in the overall public interest to approve such annexation.

He noted that with the rigid, expensive DEC requirements per- haps a joint municipal landfill-, possibly with Seneca County, is the answer. Ulysses Youth Unlimited Director Rick Frost announced he was leaving that post on May 15th. He thanked the Board for all their support and introduced his replacement, Daniel Watson. Mr. Vorp moved, seconded by Mr. Herrick, adoption of the following resolution: WHEREAS: Rick Frost has shown his concern for our youth as Director of Ulysses Youth Unlimited for the past two years, now THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED: that the Ulysses Town Board express the appreciation of the Town to Mr. Frost for his out- standing contribution to the youth of this area.

They finished their tour at the Town Barn where they inspected the equipment and discussed what would be needed in the next three years. The Board was favorably impressed with the excellent condition of Town roads with the exception of Durling Road. In the discussion that followed it was decided that work on Durling Road be authorized - starting this year if funds are avail- able and it is to be included in the 1983 Budget. Mr. Payne read 1977 Resolution on Safer Roads Demonstration Project. Mr. Holtkamp explained that authorizing the Supervisor to sign an agreement with the New York State Department of Transportation would cover 90% of the cost of installation of guard rails on Rice Road.

MacCarrick, R Marion Ford, R Arlee Robinson, D Yvonne Roykouff, D Mr. Payne reported receipt of several petitions requesting that the Glenwood School not be sold, citing possible need in the future. The petitions did endorse renting or leasing the building. In the discussion that followed it was noted that the Special Children's Center, a non-profit organization, has made an offer to purchase the ULYSSES' ROADS ARE GREAT ••. EXCEPT FOR ONE by Alice Larsen TRUMANSBORG "Our roads are in excellent shape," stated Ulysses Board member William Agard.on Tuesday night (May 11). "I'm impressed with what is going on." Agard and the other members of the Board recently toured 71 miles of the Town roads. They checked highway equipment and made up a priority list to cover the next 3 years. "Durling Road needs attention," Agard continued. "I feel we should spend some money on it in next year's budget." James Vorp added, "It's the first time I traveled'all the roads. I was favorably impressed, but I agree that Durling Road is badly in need of repair. Highway Superintendent Roll Holtkamp replied that he had approached the Board some time ago regarding the condition of Durling Road, but no action had been taken. "At today's prices it will cost $9,858 to fix," he said. "We would have to use Town Highway funds. We can't use CHIP's (Consolidated Highway Improvement Program) or Revenue Sharing." Holtkamp indicated that he would have to raise the road 8 inches with an oil and stone top and do some ditching. He added that the $9,858 figure was contractural only, not including labor costs. "I doubt if we'll have the money to do it this year," he said. Councilman Robert Herrick suggested that the Highway Department should be authorized to do part of the road this year if there is any money left in the General Highway fund. The rest could be budgeted for next year. The Board subsequently resolved to include money in the 1983 budget to repair Durling Road, authorizing work to begin when funds are available. More About Highways The Board passed a resolution to install guard rails on Rice Road with money from the New York State Dept. of Transportation under the Sale Roads Demonstration Project. Under the program the State will pay for 90% of the cost of a local highway project. The cost of installing the guard rails was expected to be $4,588.74 of which the State would pay $4,125.87. The Board resolved to expend Town Highway funds in the amount of $25,872 for improvements to County Road 142. The money is partly reimbursable from the NYSDOT under CHIP's, a new program with roughly the same guidelines of the old Donovan and Erwin plans. Glenwood School Supervisor Bruce.Payne announced that since the last Board meeting 4 petitions had been received urging that the Glenwood School not be sold in lieu of possible future use as a Public School. "We feel the sale now of the Glenwood School is an inappropriate action on the part of the school board," the petitioners stated. "We endorse renting to the Special Children's Center on any other compatible organization." Director Special Children's Center have made a purchase offer for the school. Payne pointed out that selling the building to a non-profit organization would take the building off the tax roll. "What is the projection of pupil enrollment for the next 5 years?" asked Jim Vorp. "I've read a statement about the population going up." "There's a baby boom right now," replied Clerk Marilyn Ough. Bob Herrick laughed, "At least they can't blame that on the Ulysses Board," He added, (more seriously) "My feeling is that we should provide these petitions to the Ithaca School District or at least make them aware of them." Later in the meeting the Board endorsed a letter from Zoning Officer Tom Ferretti to officials of theSpecial Children's Center advising them that there was nothing in the zoning ordinance against operating a school in the area. Other Business: James Mason othhe County Board of Representatives reported that nothing much seems to be happening on the county level for solution of the solid waste disposal problem. Consultants were hired to explore options and have made some suggestions, but they have not been heard from for 1Vi months. "I'm getting frustrated with the delays," staled Mason. "Something could be done. I suggested a joint operation (possibly with Seneca County). This can't go on with every little government having their own landfill operation." Rick Frost, the Director of Ulysses Youth Unlimited, introduced his successor, Dan Watson. He announced that Assistant Director Keith Cotter, will be replaced by Jeff Stoughton. The Board passed a resolution of appreciation for Rick's work with area youth. The Board discussed a request from James Warren (Representative to County Planning Board) for Town Board input on initiating a Sub•Divlsion ordinance. Board members felt some sort of ordinance was necessary but surmised that Health Dept: and Zoning requirements might be adequate. Katherine Stover (audience) warned thata subdivision ordinance could cause problems In cases of splitting a farm to be sold in portions. The Board agreed with Supervisor Payne's suggestion that they contact the Town Planning Board. "Some of these things may be beyond the needs of a small rural community," commented Bob Herrick. "I don't like to see us legislate ourselves to bureaucratic paralysis." 9 RECEIVED PETITION APR 131982 IQW1V OF ULYSSES We, the undersigned, petition the Ithaca School District officials, Board of Education, and Ulysses Town Board against the sale of the Glenwood school in order that it might be kept available for use as a public school i.n the future when the need arises.

Mr. Payne read a letter from Chairman of the Ulysses Planning Board, James P. Warren. Mr. Warren requested the Town Board's view on adoption of a subdivision ordinance which would be in addition to the Zoning Ordinance. The Board asked further clarification and suggest- ed a meeting with Gary Evans of County Planning and the Ulysses Planning Board to review the model subdivision ordinance from the State before making a judgement on whether such an ordinance would be appropriate for this Town. Mrs. Stover urged caution in approach to such an ordinance. Budget Director Aileen Beers reported a substantial increase in New York State Health Insurance rates effective July 1, 1982. This will mean an additional $800 for 1982. There has been no further word on proposed regional division that would reduce our rate. Mr. Holtkamp reported on highway department activities during April. He noted they had picked up roadsides, plowed snow, changed oil and filters on equipment, cleaned plows and wings, patched roads, picked up brush and trees in cemeteries. He read specifications for a new one ton dump truck. Mr. Agard, Chairman of the Highway Committee, stated that replace- ment of the one ton vehicle was the #1 priority and that perhaps the Village would be interested in the old truck. Mr. Herrick moved, seconded by Mr. Vorp, that the Board request bids on a new one ton dump truck, with or without trade, to be opened prior to the June Board Meeting. Voted and unanimously carried. Mr. Holtkamp requested permission to purchase a string trimmer for • about $175. Mr. Vorp moved, seconded by Mr. Smith, that the Highway Superintendent be authorized to purchase a gas powered, string trimmer. Voted and unanimously carried.

Indicated State has not yet re -written fire and building codes, some question of if and how will be re -written with new State administration (following next election). Reiterated much of same information presented to at County Planning Board meeting on April 20. Did add one new point: his company would consider running one or two PILOT programs in the County at no charge for one year. Gary Evans at meeting - indicated only that a State Committee has been created for work on re -writing codes. No indication that any work has been done so far. All municipalities represented at meeting seem to be drifting in a sea of uncertainty. Some indicated they believed County should be involved as head of inspections mandated by State - that this would create a uniform system,, in the County. James Ray and Beverly Livesey at meeting indicated County not ready for this action at present. Idea has not been formally presented to County Board of Representatives. Suggested Town Supervisors (or their representatives) get together to come up with some uniform ideas. Announced that NY Board of Fire Underwriters stated not interested in performing inspection chores for municipalities.

Carey has signed legislation raising the permissable income limit for the 50% property tax exemption for senior citizens from $9,200 to $10,500. The new law also extends until August 1 the deadline for filing applications in the parts of the county falling outside the city. This means that eligible home owners who missed the usual May 1 deadline have another chance to apply. This change takes effect for the various town and school district tax rolls for 1982 only if the individual board acts by August 1. Action after August 1 will not take effect until August of 1983. The county will hold a public hearing Tuesday, July 27, at 11 a.m. at the County Library, and is expected to raise the limit to $10,500 for county tax purposes. The people likely to benefit are home owners 65 and older whose 1981 income was between $9,200 and $10,500, as well as lower income people who missed the May 1 deadline. Applications should be filed at the County Assessor's office, 121 E. Buffalo Street, Ithaca. Application blanks can be obtained at the Assessment office or the County Office for the Aging.

Sections two and three of the bill permit certain retroactive application -to the 1982 property tax rolls at local option. In many cases municipalities must adopt local laws and act on individual applications before the end of July in order to apply the exemption increase to the current year. In any event, retroactive local legislation must be adopted within 90 days of the applicable taxable status date. The entire text of the legislation is reproduced on the back of this page. You may wish to share this with your local county or municipal attorney. The Governor's action on the bill will be reported in the news media.

Payne called the hearing to order at 7:30 p.m. in the Town Hall. Present: Councilmen William Agard, Robert C. Herrick, H. William Smith, James E. Vorp. Also present: Budget Officer Aileen Beers, Highway Superintendent Rolf A. Holtkamp, Tax Collector/Deputy Clerk Carolyn Duddleston, Douglas Duddleston, Town Justice Richard Montgomery, Catherine Stover, Earl Richar, Imo Herrick, Town Clerk Marilyn E. Ough, Thomas Reitz. Mrs. Ough read the legal notice of the public hearing as it appeared in the Free Press and Ithaca Journal. As Town Budget Officer, Mrs. Beers explained the Budget format noting it is listed by line item. In answer to Mr. Reitz's questions, she explained the contingency and capital building funds. (The latter a new line item that Mr. Herrick described as putting aside for an anticipated capital expendi- ture.) It was noted that careful investment of income, not immediately needed, resulted in about $12,000 interest earned in 1982. There was discussion on the Snow & Misc, portion of the Highway Fund. Mr. Reitz also objected to the pay increase for Councilmen comparing it to other Towns. He was informed that a comparison could not accurately be made without knowledge of what additional benefits are given in each Town. The $1,000,000 increase in assessed valuation was attributed to new construction and additions to existing structures. Mr. Reitz commended the Town Board for keeping the percent of tax increase so low. Mr. Agard questioned the Highway Superintendent about the CHIPS program. Mr. Reitz was informed that the high percentage of the Budget allocates to the Highway Fund was typical for our type of Town. His estimate of $6000 expended per mile of Town road will be checked into. Mr. Richar asked about some of the abreviations used in the Budget and also questioned the decrease in the amount allocated to cemeteries. It was decided to increase Account 8810 to $300 (decreasing 1990 by $105). The decrease in revenue expected from justice fees was explained as a more accurate figure. The $21,000 allocated to Highway Fund Account 5130 is a capital fund set aside for new equipment. The Fire Contract and use of the ambulance for transport instead of by those in need or in an emergency was discussed. Supervisor Payne ascertained that there were no further questions or comments. Mr. Herrick thanked the Budget Officer for her hard work. Mr. Smith moved, seconded by Mr. Vorp, that the meeting adjourn at 8:35 p.m. Voted and unanimously carried. Marilyn E.

Mr. Luster stated there had not been an opportunity to present arguments before the cuts were made and in the case of matching funds the loss of funding would hit doubly hard. Mr. Mason said it was his understanding that all programs were reviewed by the Human Services Committee. The Budget and Administration Committee does not look at programs only at money needed. Mr. Mason asked input from the Board regarding a memorandum from Director of Assessment Thomas Payne on County Tax Equalization Rates (copy attached). After a lengthy discussion on State Advisory Equalization Rates - Town of Ulysses at 105.61% which would result in 172% increase in County tax rate for the Town - Mr. Vorp moved, seconded by Mr. Agard, adoption of the following resolution: RESOLVED: that the Ulysses Town Board supports Assessment Director Thomas Payne in the adoption of the State Advisory Equalization Rates for 1983 County Tax Apportionment.

Watros, Chairman, Budget & Admin. Committee TO; }c$1n J. Murphy, County Administrator DATE: October 21, 1 FROM: T. G. Payne, Director of Assess SUBJECT: County Tax Equalization Rates Pursuant to Section 4.12 (sub. d. ), I hereby submit proposed county tax equalization rates to be used for the apportionment of the 1983 Gross County Tax Levy. On September 29, 1982, the State Board of Equalization and Assess- ment produced advisory equalization rates based on the 1982 assessment rolls for Tompkins County. These advisory equalization rates, unlike the ones produced for assessment rolls filed in 1978 through 1981, no longer contain comparisons with 1973 fractional assessments. As a result, they now consistently re- flect the 1978 full value assessment and the subsequent 1980 full value assessment update. .t*1r%ft18 apy nI a1fl'*M The •'app1t tt3liiftbY'ahaiige;in:level,of'asev - >�liif ictors' irr assessment re�la'itled aubBequenttdAbat-yearicp�pd�aees �''tati�^(w'rt'��vie' oryy+equiliza!{4n::i�tee):aver.:LO©°�v:?� As noted in this Division's request for two data collector and one senior clerk positions, - �iotadtsis86az-4 If, as planned, the State Board continues with market value surveys every two years, 11 i.

New York ' 607.273-7275 November 3, 1982 Cold Springs Mobile Home Park On July 27, 1982, a hearing was held at the Tompkins County Health Department concerning violations at your Cold Springs Mobile Home Park of Parts 5 and 7 of the New York State Sanitary Code, Articles II, VI, and VII of the Tompkins county Sanitary Code, and Title 8 of Article 17 of the New York State Environmental Conservation Law. The violations include: supplying drinking water which exceeds the maximum contaminan level for bacteria and nitrate; operating a water system without a certified operator; operating a water system without providing operatin reports; allowing untreated or poorly treated sewage to remain on the ground surface; discharging sewage without a permit; and operating a mobile home park without a permit. N You attended the hearing and were given an opportunity to present reasons why the mobile home park should not be closed. in the interval since the hearing, you abandoned Well #2 and con- nected to Well #3, which promised lower nitrate values. Unfortunately, recent analyses indicate nitrate levels over the maximum contaminant level of 10 mg/l in Well #3.

' 'December 15,1982 Judge Jim Rice has been serving "on the bench" of the Ulysses Justice, Court for over 25 years. —Photo by Roberto Sperling A true bench sitter TRUMANSBURG—It's been 25 years and about a month more that Town Justice James Rice has served on the bench for the Town of Ulysses. But, he, himself, hasn't been counting, and his 25th anniversary as judge almost passed unnotjced, ex- cept for the fact that Ulysses Town Clerk Marilyn Ough had been keep- ing track. She informed the paper the judge started serving on Nov. 5, 1957, and that Nov. 5, 1982, marked 25 years. A photograph , to commemorate ' the special day was taken. The reason Judge Rice gave for overlooking his 25 years on the job, was that his 50th wedding anniversary is coming up, and he's been preoccu- pied with that date, instead. Congratulations to the judge, on both his reasons to celebrate, and a hearty "thank you" from the com- munity for the more than 25 years of service he's given. -Roberta Sperling, G • TOWN of ULYSSES 10 ELM STREET TRUMANSSURD, N.Y. 14686 LEGAL NOTICE NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that the ENACTED BUDGET for the TOWN OF ULYSSES, Fiscal Year 1983, is available for inspection by any interested persons during office hours at Ulysses Town Office, 10 Elm Street, Trumansburg, New York.

Voted and unanimously carried. Mr. Herrick reminded those present of the January 3rd, 1983 Public Hearing with the Village of Trumansburg at 7:30 p.m. in the Town Hall on proposed annexation of property to the Village. Mr. Ferretti's zoning report was read by Mrs. Ough. He issued three permits, traveled 191 miles, did final inspections on old permits and allowed temporary use of trailers in two cases. He advised Attorney Pichel that there would be no action on the Lamoreaux-Guinn complaint but, if desired, an appeal of this decision could be made through the Board of Zoning Appeals. Mrs. Ough reported on licenses issued in November for total income of $1447.25 with $96.25 in fees paid to the Supervisor (full report on file in Supervisor's office). She noted receipt of SPCA October report and resignation of Carolyn Stillions as Election Inspector in District II. Mr. Vorp received an estimate of $1226.00 from Harold Wright for extending the Courtroom wall up. A discussion followed on the necessity of such extensive renovation - Mr. Richar suggested the wall only be extended to the suspended ceiling. This will be looked into further and another estimate secured. Mr. Holtkamp gave his November highway report and noted they had installed signs, finished mowing, cut brush, painted three plows, helped the Village, ditched north end of Duddleston Road, and put weather stripping on three overhead doors. He also mentioned the frozen water pipes in the Town office building. He was able to thaw them in two hours. A permanent solution to this problem will be pursued.

Ough Town Clerk I December 15, 1982 Odyssey Publications ly rl Ulysses To wit Supervisor Bruce Payne resigned his post Tuesday night. —Pholo by Roberta Sperling Payne resigns Ulysses board after 11 years of service By DEBBIE BURTON TRUMANSBURG—Bruce Payne, Ulysses' supervisor for the past 1I years, resigned Tuesday night during the town board's regular meeting. A staunch Republican, who won five elections to the post, said his resigna- tion as of December 31 is necessary,be- cause of the "pressures of family af- fairs." The tall, scholarly man, who has lived in Trumansburg with his wife Sally since 1950, said many changes have come about in the decade and one year that he has served the town. One change Payne can be proud of is his ef- fective agenda which has compressed the board's monthly meetings to under two hours. While many other towns of- ten meet until after II p.m. "and yell at each other," Payne said his carefully outlined agenda keeps Ulysses' meet- ings well under control. Another change Payne has seen is the increase in the number of hours he and other town employees must work. What was once a five hour a week job has turned into many more hours —not to mention the fact that he is on call 24 hours every day —all for $5,650 an- nual salary. "The biggest increase is the paper work that the federal and state govern - continued on page 9 Wednesday, Dec. 15, 1982 • ITHACA JOURNAL 3 Town supervisor Payne resigns ments require —especially for federal revenue sharing money," he said. Ingreased community Involvement Is encouraging to Payne. "That's a great plus. I used to come to meetings, even the budget hearings, and find nobody showed' up except the board mem- bers," he said. "Now people are be- coming a part of it (the board's de- liberations). They aren't just letting elected officials make the decisions." Payne, who almost went into the foreign s., vice, changed his mind and becainc comptroller and vice-president for business at Cornell University until he retired in the summer of 1971.

A staunch Republican, who won five elections to the post, said his resigna- tion as of December 31 is necessarybe- cause of the "pressures of family af- fairs." The tall, scholarly man, who has lived in Trumansburg with his wife Sally since 1950, said many changes have come about in the decade and one year that he has served the town. One change Payne can be proud of is his ef- fective agenda which has compressed the board's monthly meetings to under two hours. While many other towns of- ten meet until after II p.m. "and yell at each other," Payne said his carefully outlined agenda keeps Ulysses' meet- ings well under control. Another change Payne has seen is the increase in the number of hours he and other town employees must work. What was once a five hour a week job has turned into many more hotirs—not to mention the fact that he is on call 24 hours every day —all for a$5,650 an- nual salary. "The biggest increase is the paper work that the federal and state govern - continued on page 9 ments require —especially for federal revenue sharing money," he said, ingreased community Involvement is encouraging to Payne. "That's a great plus. I used to come to meetings, even the budget hearings, and find nobody showed' up except the board mem- bers," he said. "Now people are be- coming a part of It (the board's de- liberations). They aren't just letting elected officials make the decisions." Payne, who almost went into the foreign s.. vice, changed his mind and became comptroller and vice-president for business at Cornell University until he retired in the summer of 1971. That same fall he was elected supervisor. The new supervisor, whose name was not disclosed, will be appointed at the next board meeting on January I1. In the interim, deputy supervisors Bob Herrick and William Agard will carry out the duties, Wednesday, Dec. 15, 1982 • ITHACA JOURNAL 3 Town supervisor resigns in Ulysses TRUMANSBURG — Bruce Payne, Town of Ulysses Supervisor for 11 years, tendered his resignation at Tuesday night's board meeting.

Holtkamp, Town Attorney Arthur J. Golder, Jr., Zoning Officer Thomas Ferretti, Budget Director Aileen Beers, Tax Collector Carolyn J.

Ough, Richard Backer, Edward Moseley (late arrival). Deputy Supervisor Robert C. Herrick led those assembled in the Pledge • of Allegiance to the Flag of the United States of America. Mr. Agard moved, seconded by Mr. Smith, that the minutes of the December 14, 1982 and adjourned meeting on December 29, 1982, as typed and distributed to Board Members, be approved. Voted and unanimously carried. Mr. Herrick invited the delegation from Jacksonville to address the Board. Spokeswoman Polly Kenerson read two letters regarding the Hurd property. One was a copy of the letter Zoning Officer Thomas Ferretti sent to Mr. Hurd on December 7, 1982 and the second was from the Moynes (copies attached). She noted that since Mr. Ferretti's letter Mr. Hurd had done more work on the building in question and instead of being used for storage she had heard it would be a garage with a lift installed. Mr. Agard noted that, at Harland Knight's request, he and Mr. Herrick had visited the site in question. In the lengthy discussion that followed several points were brought out. Mr. Ferretti: has had no communication from Mr. Hurd since his letter of December 7th. Hurd's building has been in progress 3 to 4 years. The building permit has expired and was not renewed. Town Attorney Golder: the wording in the Zoning Ordinance states that unless there has been substantial progress a building permit expires in one year. A property owner has rights even if a building permit was originally issued in error. Mr. Golder asked those present if it was the way the building looked or what it would be used for that is objectionable. The unanimous answer was BOTH. Mrs. Casciotti claimed that repeated requests to remove scaffolding on her property were ignored by Mr. Hurd and also that his septic tank is partially on her land. Mrs. Wilson clarified that Mr. Ferretti's letter was sent the day written and then commented that Mr. Hurd continued to work the whole month of December. She also complained about his dogs, kept in a run, barking all day and night. Mrs. Kenerson wanted to know definition of an abandoned car. Mr. Ferretti elaborated on this and stated the definition in the Zoning Ordinance should be changed. • Mrs. Robinson stated Mr. Hurd was way out of zoned business area and a survey was needed. Mr. Golder said it might be possible to revoke the building permit - what was on the property December 7, 1982 would be an important factor. Mr. Golder also outlined two forms of action that could be taken, through the local Justice Court or seek an injunction through the Supreme Court to prevent further construction. The latter action would remove the matter from local jurisdiction and would require consultation with the Zoning Officer and neighbors to develop facts to see if there is a case. He would also need help to define the business district - there is a lot to this that will require time. In an emergency a preliminary injunction could be requested. Mr. Herrick requested Town Attorney Golder and Zoning Officer Ferretti work on this matter and get back to the Board as soon as possible.

It was decided to set a meeting on January 19th, about 9 P.M., after the public hearing. This will be cleared with the Planning Board and the Town Board will be notified. b. No meeting has been called on proposed West Hill Fire Station. c. The SPCA will meet with the Town at another time since we have a conflict on 1-19-83. In regard to the proposed annexation of property on Pennsylvania Avenue by the Village, Town Attorney Golder said he would draw up the necessary resolution either approving or disapproving annexation. Mr. Backer questioned why maintenance of the road was not part of the annexation. In the discussion that followed Mr. Holtkamp agreed with Mr. Backer and Mr. Herrick noted this point was not brought out at the joint meeting. Mr. Holtkamp recommended that the Village main- tain the road past the Marquart property with the Town maintaining from the Comerford portion and out. Mr. Agard suggested a meeting with the Village Board to discuss the matter. Mrs. Ough reported on licenses issued in December (on file in the Supervisor's office), for a total income of $617.25 with $129.50 paid to the Supervisor in fees. She had previously distributed to Board Members her Annual Report and Comparative Statistical Data (copies attached) and noted the total of 53 Marriage Licenses issued during 1982 exceeded the previous high of 43. To date, the Tax Collector has received $60,475.03 against the Tax Warrant of $482.521.04 Correspondence received by the Clerk: November SPCA report Tompkins County Personnel Department - Motor Equipment Operator Class Specs.

Association of Towns - Annual Meeting notice with Budget and pro- posed legislative program. She has sent the certificate • of designation naming James E. Rice, Jr. the Ulysses delegate. Mr. Holtkamp asked the Board's pleasure regarding the replacement of the almost five year old pick-up truck with 89,500 miles (as of 1-1-83). He said a new truck would cost about $8,000 less whatever the used truck would bring. It is doubtful a dealer would take it in trade because of the high mileage. Highway Committee Chairman Agard stated he had spoken to Board Members and they wanted to review it further. He asked for an estimate on cost of running the truck one more year. Mr. Holtkamp reported on highway activities during December. They cut brush on Colegrove, Houghton, Iradell and Maplewood Roads; installed new heater in '69 Brockway; helped County trucks; installed guiderail posts and rail on Rice Road and set anchors; hauled salt; plowed snow and salted as needed. He noted that during 1982 they travelled 49,717 miles using 846 gal- lons of regular gas and 9740 gallons of diesel fuel. 715 machinery hours were logged.

ULYSSES BOARD APPOINTS RICHARD BACKERAS SUPERVISOR by Alice Larsen TRUMANSBURG - "We're very fortunate to have a gentleman of his calibre as Supervisor; stated Councilman William Agard who introduced Richard E. Backcr as the Ulysses Board's appointee for the position of Supervisor. Backer, who took the oath of office at the regular meeting of the Board on Tuesday night (Jan. 11) was appointed to fill the unexpired term of former Supervisor Bruce. Payne. "I've been greatly impressed with Bruce Payne and the way the business of the Town of Ulysses has been carried on," stated Backer. "Upon retiring I anticipated that I would stay in the area and do something with the Town of Ulysses. Never in my wildest dreams have I thought I would be Supervisor." He continued, "I promise to do everything I can to make the job effective and meaningful as possible." Richard Backer refired as Superintendent of the Ithaca school district In October of 1982 but has been a member of the community since August 15, 1963. He was Principal of the Boynton Middle School for 12 years and served as Superintendent for 7 years. Was he surprised at his appointment? "It's all been so rapid;" he said. "I've been learning from Marilyn (Ough•-Town Clerk) and Aileen (Beers —Budget Director). I look forward to enjoying it although I'm not a political person. M rilyn E. Ough Town Clerk Wednesday, Jan. 12, 1983 Dick Backer gets new job By JOHN MAtNES Journal Staff Former Ithaca school superintendent Richard E. Backer on Tuesday was appointed to his first political post — supervisor of the Town of Ulysses. A Republican, Backer replaces Bruce M. Payne, who resigned last month because of familty commit- ments. Backer retired from the Ithaca School district in the summer of 1982, ending a 19 -year carreer which included 12 years as school principal and seven as superintendent. Backer, who lives in a farmhouse on Krums Corners Road, said this morning that when he left the school district, "I planned to become a little more active'n the community." But he said he plans only to fill the remaining 12 months of Payne's term, and does nut foresee running for office later this year. Payne was town supervisor 11 years. Backer will be paid $5,640 for the part -limb job, which he said requires about 10-12 hours of work a week, excluding'meetings. His appointment on Tues- day was 'approved by councilmen William Aagard, Robert C. Herrick and H. William Smith, Councilman James Vorp was absent. Backer, who was in the town office this morning, said he doesn't plan any changes. "There are ex;.rme- ly competent people here," he said. "I think the public has confidence in them." ' Backer left the Ithaca school district when the i school board decided not to renew his superintendent's contract. .

Present at hearing: Ulysses Supervisor Richard E. Backer; Trumans- burg Mayor Carl Mann; Ulysses Councilmen William Agard, Robert C. Herrick, H. William Smith, James Vorp; Trumansburg Trustees Eugene Burpee, Robert Scott, Thomas Smith. Absent: Trustee Dennis Rodabaugh. Also present: Attorney Arthur J. Golder, Jr., ACC General Manager Martin Sheridan, ACC Assistant Manager Kevin Grossman, Patrick Hourigan, Richard Remley, Ken Claire, Carl Cox, William Savey, Town Clerk Marilyn E. Ough. Late arrivals included Dennis O'Neil and Margaret Updike. Mayor Carl Mann called the hearing to order at 7:30 p.m. in the Ulysses Town Hall. He stated the purpose of the hearing and then turned the meeting over to Martin Sheridan, General Manager of American Community Cablevision. Mr. Sheridan reviewed information previously supplied to the Village and Town. On the Finansal Status of ACC (copy attached) he cited the net loss on basic service and the net loss for entire operation, also their accumlative loss of about $900,000 since taking over the system. Their return on investment for the year ending 6-30-81 was 2.3% while the year ending 6-30-82 dropped to 1%. Mr. Sheridan was questioned by Attorney Golder and it was ascertained that Ithaca was the only Division that incurred losses and that ATC had in fact declared stock dividends. Village Trustee Smith went over the Financial Status in detail with regard to the amount of management fees included and monies paid to parent company. He noted that the cash flow back to the parent company equaled the $282,000 net loss. Mr. Sheridan stated he felt the $282,000 back to ATC was a fair amount. Mr. Smith concluded that the profit or loss was based on acceptance or rejection of proposed increase in rates. Mr. Smith then addressed the Return on Investment of 1% for the year ending 6-30-82 (copy attached). It was noted that, (a) the average net franchise cost was the amortized amount; (b) that $5,000,000 was the purchase price paid to Cerrache; (c) that working capital allow- ance was the actual money they have to work with - in the bank. Mr. Sheridan stated that money from the parent company in Denver would bring satellite service later this year. He then spoke of, (A) the differences between the proposed Village and Town franchise amendments; (B) the copyright royalty increase from under 1% to 3.75%; (C) the proposed $8 rate was fair and that it would take a basic rate of $12.40 to get a 15% return on investment. He was questioned on additional revenue the proposed increase would generate ($400,000) and rates in other areas of the County. The new basic rate would be for 12 channels (there are 22 channels now - ex- cluding HBO) with a $3 augmented service charge for channels 14-22. HBO is not regulated and those rates have been increased. Loss with HBO was $282,000 whereas without shows over a $600,000 loss. • Mrs. Updike questioned the poor reception on channel 3 and 9 out of Syracuse. Mr. Sheridan asked her to call him the next day. Mr. Sheridan said he would call regarding the rate on the Interest item. Mr. Smith asked about control of material for the community access channel and should there be provision in the franchise banning programs of questionable taste. Mr. Sheridan pointed out that they could not limit use but could screen material to be used. In answer to Village Trustee Burpee's question on comparison of rates, Mr. Sheridan said our rates were the lowest he has heard of and quoted rates in Iowa (9.95) and Detroit (15.95). He noted that. every situ- ation is different and pointed out Ulysses with its average of 20 subscribers per mile vs. the city of Ithaca with 60 per mile. • Attorney Golder spoke of the language in proposed franchise amendment as being too broad. Mr. Sheridan explained that this was purposely done to grow and expand as technology does and new services being added without additional changes in the agreement. He cited possible future uses as burglar and fire alarms. 15 December '82 Mr. Martin Sheridan Am Comm Cablevision 419 West State Ithaca, N Y Dear Sir; Mr. Bruce Payne & Mr. Carl Mann; Supetvisor and Mayor respectfully of the Town of Ulysses & Village of Trumansburg- have set a dat for a Public Hearing (Jointly) on air, 01e, January 19th '83, at 19:30 Hrs- inthe Ulysses Town Hall for the purpose of meeting with the Management of .American Community Cablevision Inc; to discuss a necessary change in the rate structure they are submiting to their customers in the Town and Village.

Ono of the main areas of concern was the added responsibility placed on the Town with regard to requests for line extension. Mr. Sheridan said to strike Grantor and put in Company, Mr. Smith requested two copies of the financial statement be sent - one to the Village and one to the Town. Mr. Sheridan stressed that nothing in the agreement precludes enforcement of Zoning Ordinances. The Village noted that they needed stronger language for protection since their Zoning Ordinance was not strict enough until it is upgraded. Attorney Golder said the agreements were unacceptable in their present form and that he would draw up and send rough drafts to ACC to see if agreement could be reached. Town Supervisor Backer stated that the one thing that disturbed him was the setting of the basic rate depended on the outcome of nego- tiations with the city of Ithaca. Mr. Sheridan said that if agree- ments were signed now ACC would stand by the $8 basic rate. There was a discussion of service to the Comerford tract. Mr. Remley commented on the lower rate in Ithaca and said our rate should be as the lowest and not more than the suggested basic rate. In answer to a question on time frame, Mr. Sheridan stated it will take two years or longer to update all 19 franchises as each takes about three months. When the Town and Village proposed franchise changes are signed the new rates will take effect 30 days after approval by the New York State Commission on Cable Television. Mr. Burpee said, that from what he understood, if we should agree to sign proposed amendments to respective Franchise Agreements now, we would be paying more, for the identical service and nothing would be changed until after the City of Ithaca finalized their amendment - also, that Mr. Sheridan at first said, if we sign now rates would stand but if we wait until after the city of Ithaca signs then rates may be higher if they insist on a lower basic rate. Later he said that if lower rates were insisted upon it would probably go into litigation. There was no further comment or discussion so Village Trustee Scott moved, seconded by Village Trustee Burpee, that the hearing adjourn at 9:05 p.m. Voted and unanimously carried. C 4L2 Marilyn E.

ULYSSES TOWN BOARD 3% February 8, 1983 The regular monthly meeting of the Ulysses Town Board was called to order at 8 p.m. in the Town Hall by Supervisor Richard E. Backer. Others present: Councilmen William Agard, Robert C. Herrick, H. William Smith, James E. Vorp. Also present: Representative James A. Mason, Highway Superintendent Rolf A. Holtkamp, Budget Director Aileen Beers, Tax Collector Carolyn J. Duddleston, Douglas Duddleston, Laura Smith, Carl Cox, Thomas Reitz, Mr. and Mrs. Kenerson, Mrs. Wilson, Earl Richar, Mr. and Mrs. Casciotti, Nancy MacCarrick, Alice Larsen of Tri-Village Pennysaver, Catherine Stover, Town Clerk Marilyn SE. Ough. Mr. Backer led those assembled in the Pledge of Allegiance to the Flag of the United States of America. Mr. Herrick moved, seconded by Mr. Smith, that the minutes of the January 11, 1983 meeting, as typed and distributed to Board Members, be approved. Voted and unanimously carried. Mr. Reitz addressed the Board, representing a delegation from Jackson- ville. He distributed copies of a letter to Board Members and then read same (copy attached). In answer to the letter, Mr. Backer noted that he and the Town Attorney had met the previous Wednesday with concerned Jacksonville residents regarding the Hurd property. The original building permit was issued based on a drawing and was an error of administration of the Zoning Ordinance. Mr. Hurd has receive notice that dismantled/inoperative vehicles and rubbish/refuse be unde cover or off the property by February 15th. The concern for fire protection had been discussed fairly well by the Town Attorney. As for the potential environmental contamination, that question will have to wait until Mr. Hurd has his operation in place and not anticipate what might happen. Mr. Backer said he would seek advice from the Town Attorney with regard to the request for a copy of Mr. Ferretti's lette to Mr. Hurd. Mr. Reitz continued the discussion by asking Board members if the site r in question had exceeded the business district or encroached on adjoining residential property and stated further that they would consult their lawyer if the Town did not take action. Mr. Agard said the entire land parcel was in the business district and Mr. Backer indicated that encroachment should be the concern of adjacent land owners. Mr. Richar added that Mr. Ferretti's letter to Mr. Hurd is a public record and should be accessible to the Public. He also elaborated on the Zoning Officer's authority to enforce the Zoning Ordinance. Mr. Richar then addressed another topic - his concern over Lansing's intent to rename a thoroughfare Craft Road and the possibility of a mixup with Kraft Road in Ulysses during an emergency situation. Mr. Mason echoed Mr. Richar's concern. The Board requested Supervisor Backer send a letter to Lansing asking that bur valid concerns be take into consideration. Nancy MacCarrick reported completion and circulation of the revised House Numbering Directory. Mr. Backer noted there were already changes since the printing and that we would continue keeping it up to date with one master copy. Mr. Vorp commented about putting this information on computer. Mr. Backer disclosed that the Town has been given the opportunity, through • the County for computer time. Meetings will be scheduled to explore this possibility. In answer to Mr. Richar's question regarding status of the Marquart annexation, Mr. Backer noted there were two or three unresolved questions. There is still time, however, if the Town fails to act within the 90 days, annexation is automatically completed. Mr. Herrick moved, seconded by Mr. Agard, adoption of the following resolution: RESOLVED: that the following, previously examined, vouchers be approved for payment by the Supervisor: General Fund Nos. 19 through 54 $ 16529.25 Highway Fund Nos. 12 through 31 19793.50 Part Town Nos. 3 through 4 37.03 Adopted Mr. Agard Aye Mr. Herrick Aye Mr. Smith Aye Mr. Vorp Aye Mr. Backer Aye 2 Via Ithaca Anarnatiw, rabruary 16. 1983 JACKSONVILLE RESIDENTS UNSATISFIED WITH POARD RESPONSE TO ZONING PROBLEM by Alice Larsen IRUMANSBURG•Tom Reitz, President of the Jacksonville Community Association, addressed a prepared statement to Ulysses Bond members on Tuesday night (Feb. 7) regarding the construction on property owned by Edmund Hurd at 1860 Trumansburg Road. He outlined concerns which the group felt should be resolved by the Board: 1. The building is not within zoning ordinance standards. 2. There are inoperative vehicles on the lot. 3. Rubbish Is stdred outside. 4. Are surrounding buildings accessible to fire protection? 5. there is a potential environmental hazard duetocontarnmationof air and water. In addition the group requested a copy of the letter sent around Feb. 1st by Zoning Officer Thomas Ferretti to Mr. Hurd which summarized previous meetings and listed the conditions which would allow the construction to continue. Supervisor Richard Backer responded that the Town Attorney had met with concerned citizens and agreed that the building did not meet zoning ordinance requirements. However, a permit had been issued based on a drawing which delineated the distances now under question. "It was an error of administration," he said. Backer added that Mr. Hurd had been given notice that the vehicles and rubbish must be under cover or removed by Feb, 15. "Astor the question of contamination we'll have to wait until the individual has an operation in place," stated Backer. "We can't anticipate ahead of time." He also felt it would be a questionable action to distribute Ferretti's letter. "I'll consult our Attorney," he said, "but I feel it would be inappropriate." Reitz quelled Board members regarding possible encroachment of the building on residential property. "Has the property been measuredr he asked. "Part of the problem is that the lot lines seem to have disappeared; Bill Agard responded that the entire tax parcel was within the business district Backer indicated that he felt the lot line question should be the concern of adjacent property owners, "I'm not sure it's a Town concern," he said. "If the Town takes no action we will be forced to consult Counsel to see K Jacksonville resident's rights have been violated," Reitz advised. Earl Richar stated regarding Ferretti's letter, that all matters relating to zoning are Public record and to be kept accessible to the Public. "As for the messurements••the Board doesn't have the right to goon the property but the Zoning Oilicer does," he added, "and he has the power through Attorney to enforce them." Backer responded that they would need to see deeds and marking points to determine if the building was over lot lines. Highway Superintendent Rolf Holikamp suggested that the property might have to be surveyed again. Were Jacksonville -residents assured that their concerns were being acted upon? "We're not satisfied with the outcome," stated Polly Kenerson. "We're being forced to look outside for legal guidance."'"The real concern for all Jacksonville residents is that the entire Zoning Ord nance is in question," added Reitz. "Is it a viable document that will protect the residents?" He concluded, "The Town Board was elected to support its constituents. It seems to be a problem and a question it they're going to support the laws they passed" Other Business: Earl Richar expressed concern over the possibility of mix-ups in emergency situations on Kraft Road because of "Craft" Road in the Town of Lansing. "Someone should make the people across the Lake change the name of their road," he said, "Everybody should be screaming about it." James Mason agreed, "I feel it puts the people on Kraft Road in jeopardy," he said. "An ambulance might go to Lansing instead of Ulysses." Mason reported that the future of Tomtran (Public Transportation) hinges upon the response of the people. A recent ad in the "Pennysaver" requested input from residents. Mason also warned that a possible loss of Revenue Sharing funds in the near future would mean that funding for the County Library would have to be made up in taxes. In that event taxes would be raided by 33% since present funding for the library has been paid out of Revenue Sharing. Announcements: Supervisor Richard Backer announced that a meeting to discuss enforcement possibilities for the Fire Safety & BuildingCode wilt be held some time in March. Area Towns are invited to participate. Hiphway Supervisor Roll Holtkarnp announced some industrious people••anxious to clear their own driveways are unthinkingly pushing snow out into the highways. "It's against the law," he said. "If the piles get hard it can wreck a truck." Holikamp advised homeowners to push the snow across the road or dispose of it in some other nner "ann't leave it on the shoulder." he said. Ulysses board proposal is sent back to American Com- munity Cablevision and then to Albany for approval. He did say that the in- crease will take effect 30 days after state approval. Also during the board meeting, Tom Reitz, president of the Jacksonville Community Association, again asked the board to take necessary action to stop construction on an almost com- pleted cinderblock garage located on Ed- mund Hurd's property on Route 96, Jacksonville. The association stated five complaints that included a possible zoning violation because Hurd's garage was built too close to the boundary line on his side yard. (A former town zoning officer is- sued Hurd a building permit without noting the error.) Residents complained of partially dismantled or inoperative vehicles on the lot, which they said created an eyesore. They also com- plained of outdoor storage of rubbish and refuse. During the January board meeting, Ulysses board postpones cable vote, hears complaint from Jack. Assoc. By DEBBIE BUR TON •- ULYSSES —Cable television users in the town of Ulysses will not see a rate in- crease as early as had been expected. According to Town Supervisor Rich- ard Backer, the Ithaca based American Community Cablevision failed to send a copy of its proposed new contract to town attorney Arthur Golder until the day before the board's vote. Golder ad- vised the board not to take any action until he had time to review the contract. If the board does approve the contract at its March 12 regular meeting, monthly service rates could increase by $2 and HBO by 50 cents. Backer added that all services will increase, including in- stallation fees. During a later interview, Backer said he did not have a definite date when residents would see rate in- crease. Once the board votes, then the about 20 residents had asked the board to use a court order injunction to stop construction on the garage that was begun in 1980. The building permit stated "storage" as the purpose of the Tom Reitz'again asked the board to take necessary action to stop construction of a garage on Edmund Hurd's property. garage. Backer said the town would not take legal steps at this time because Golder's investigation showed that the town's defense was not strong enough. But the town board has notified Hurd that all cars must be under cover or off the lot by February 15. Basically, the. residents are concerned continued on page 3 A Cr m 17 a w0 00 F I 1 • that Hurd might use the garage for other than storage at a future date, said Backer. Since the property is located in a business district, the residents are afraid he will use it as a for-profit garage or apartments. "The residents are concerned about their water and septic systems," Backer said, adding that if Hurd did change the use of this garage at a later date, the town's interest in the matter may be raised again. Reitz said the town buard has had a "sympathetic ear", but it's not. doing much about rectifying the problem. "We aren't trying to embarrass anyone. We just want to protect ourselves;" Reitz said in a later phone interview. • JACKSONVILLE COMMUNITY ASSOCIATION • POST OFFICE BOX 247 JACKSONVILLE, N.Y. 14886 February 7, 1983 Ulysses Town Board 10 Elm St. Trumansburg, N.Y. 14886 We Town of Ulysses residents attended the January 11,1983 Town Board meeting with a strong concern regarding the building under construction of Mr. Edmund Hurd at 1860 Trumansburg Road and have, as requested, documented our complaints in writing of the various possible violations of our Zoning Ordinance.

Below I will outline these with the appropriate premium adjustments for each item: i) Eliminate collision coverage from the 1978 Ford - Annual savings of $85. 2) Eliminate all liability coverages from the 1936 Walters - leave fire and theft coverages in force -Annual savings of 4"554• 3) Add an additional 16500 000. liability coverage to Comprehensive General Liability and Auto Liability... Annual additional premium of ;530. 4) The current amount of coverage on the Town office building, is x60,000., using a per square foot replacement cost of 442., it would appear that s80,000. would be a more realistic amount. The annual additional premium is 42.00. 5) The current amount of coverage on the Town 3arns is X162,000., in talking with I'lorton Buildings and Agway Buildings it would appear that $105,000. is a more realistic replacement cost estimate. This in for a building the same size, one half an equipment shed type building, the other half finished off with a concrete floor, insulation and heat for shop use. This would reduce the premium annually 6837. The net effect of the above captioned is an annual premium savings of $1104. It would appear that this definately is in the best interest of the town.

Representative James Mason called attention to the meeting at the Cooperative Extension Center on Wednesday, April 13th on the Gypsy Moth which is expected to be worse this year. He also reported that: (a.) Ulysses farmer Chuck Houghton was the successful bidder, at $68.25 per acre, for the 93 acres of farm land at the County Home. The lease was extended to two years. (b.) there has been a tremendous response to the Tomtran survey with the majority of the several hundred responding willing to pay a $1.00 fee for transporta tion. There will be a summary of the information received available on the 20th. Mr. Mason, as a member of the Board of Directors of the Fire Company, extended a special invitation to Town Officials to attend an open house at the Fire House on May 7th from noon until 4:30 p.m. Mr. Reitz addressed the anticipated Gypsy Moth infestation, noting the heavy concentration of egg masses near the Town Barns, and asked if there would be any brochures available for the townspeople. Mr. Mason said the County provided funds for information fliers through Cooperative Extension. It was agreed to get a supply for the Town office. Mr. Richar asked if the naming of a 2nd Kraft Road had gone through. Mr. Mason explained the background and noted it had been brought up to the County Board and it was agreed that this type of thing should be avoided. They have asked the Planning Board to contact munici- palities pointing out the dangers in duplication of road names. Mr. Backer said he had not had a response to the letter he wrote Lansing regarding the intention of having a Craft Road.

He mentioned and asked donations for their auction scheduled for the first Saturday in June Polly Kenerson read a letter addressed to the Town Board and • Zoning Officer regarding the Hurd building in Jacksonville (copy attached). Mrs.. Wilson said she checked with Zoning Officer Feretti last fall and was told there would not be an apartment over the building. She • asked if anyone had checked the structure recently and why two picture windows would be used in a "storage,only" building. She asked if use could be changed without a variance. Mr. Backer said the Town Board could not do anything until there has been a definite violation. The Town can't question the state the building is in now, only when the building starts to be used for other than a personal garage. There was discussion of the height limitation on accessory buildings and the obvious exceeding of the 20 feet on the first roof which had to come down. �• Mr. Richar commented that the Town of Ulysses needed a full time Zoning Officer. Mr. Herrick answered by stating that the Ulysses Zoning Officer position is not full time and only paid for time actually spent on zoning duties. April 11, 1983 Jacksonville, New York 14854 Ulysses Town Board4fD Zoning Officer, 10 Elm St., Trumansburg, NY 14886 Dear Sirs, Recently Mr. Ferretti stated that in his opinion the case against Mr. Hurd's building in Jacksonville, was considered closed. We do not agree and feel that it will not be as long as this building stands. It will be considered by us as a memorial to this Town Board. It is an encroachment, it is illegal and a violation of the zoning ordinance. The Town Board and Zoning Officer were recently notified of the porous rock foundation under Jacksonville and that the ground and wells of numerous families can be seriously affected. We already have a well problem which has not been resolved. Again, we ask, "Why do we have zoning in Ulysses?" when the Town Board will not correct an error or back the majority. I would like to state also that Mary Slade, the Zoning Officer in 1979, was an honest, conscientious person and was careful that any decisions she made were done with advice from "the powers -that -be" at that time and not solely her own. Her letter of resignation is self-explanatory. The full responsibility of any ground or well problems in the future, resulting from this situation, will be solely the responsibility of this Town Board. Sincerely, ,fY4 Don nndf Polly Kenerson Ulysses Town Board 4-12-83 page 2 i-v Mr. Reitz asked how someone would go about incorporating. Mr. Backer said he would ask the Town Attorney for the procedure. Mr. Reitz then asked when the proposed Zoning Ordinance changes would be presented to the public. Mr. Backer stated it would be two to three months before there would be enough information to distribute and that the Town Board would be meeting with the Planning Board on the 20th to continue the review. Mr. Dyffee, a realtor, asked for procedure to zone commercial the Baldwin property on Route 96. Mr. Backer stated he would check and let him know. Mrs. Kenerson brought up a discussion on the O'Neil property in Jacksonville that formerly sold antiques and is now being used for a fishing tackle business. The primary concern being the avail- ability of parking. Mr. Herrick noting that South Street Extension would soon be getting cable television without additional expense to the residents credited and thanked Carl Cox for his efforts on their • behalf. Mr. Agard moved, seconded by Mr. Smith, adoption of the following resolution: RESOLVED: that the following, previously examined, vouchers be approved for payment by the Supervisor: General Fund nos. 78 through 102 $4949.75 Highway Fund nos. 48 through 67 8133.45 Part Town Fund nos. 7 through 8 30.38 Adopted Mr. Agard Aye Mr. Herrick Aye Mr. Smith Aye Mr. Backer Aye Mr. Backer commenting on the Supervisor's Financial Statement noted receipt of $11454.00 in Highway Funds leaving a large balance in the checking account which will be put in an interest bearing account until needed.

Mr. Backer outlined the back- ground of the request and said that the Town was awaiting a response from DOT after they agreed to take a second look at the situation. Mr. Mason interjected that State engineers were on the site a week ago and that there had been a request at the County level for a pedestrain crossing.

Adopted Mr. Agard Aye Mr. Herrick Aye Mr. Smith Aye Mr. Backer Aye Goodbye Cayuga, hello Chateaugay Ough resigns from Ulysses Town Clerkship By GERI TANSEY TRUMANSBURG—Marilyn Ough will be trading the Finger Lakes for the Chateaugay Lakes at the foot- hills of the Adirondacks. Ulysses Town Clerk since January 1978, Mrs. Ough will leave her job and Trumansburg home to join her husband in the "north country" where he has been employed for the past year and a half. Ough submitted her resignation "with regret" at the "I'm going to miss people here terribly," said Ough, "but we have bought a home In Malone and all Ulysses residents are welcomed anytime they're in the area." Ulysses Town Board meeting April 12. Her resignation takes effect May 1, 1983. "I'm going to miss people here terribly," said Ough in an interview April 7. "But we have bought a home in Malone and all Ulysses residents are welcomed any- time they're in the area." Malone, N.Y., is a town of about 7,500 people, located halfway between Potsdam and Plattsburgh and 12 miles from the Canadian border. "It's flat there," said Ough, "since it's above the mountains (Adirondacks)." ' t But the scenic Chateaugay Lakes and St. Lawrence continued on page ''A April 13, 1983 Frotn a e'7:' Ough resigns town clerk post Seaway, and the recreational Salmon River are not far away. And Ough intends to take advantage of all three for fishing and touring. She'll also be busy with renovations to her 1920s - built house in Malone, The project, she said, "is full- time." Will she stop by the Town Clerk's office in Malone and say "Hi"? "Well, I will have to stop there and take care of sonic matters as I get settled in Malone," said Ough, "hut I'll keep a low profile (about her position as a I•ornter Town Clerk) for awhile." , Marilyn Ough's profile was just the opposite in Trumansburg. She could be seen at the Town Hall's picture window five days a week —including Satur- days —as she issued dog, marriage and fishing licenses, kept track of bills, and briefed reporters. She could be seen at Town Board meetings every month, diligently jotting down Board notes, votes, and resolutions. And she could be seen at monthly meetings of the Tompkins County Town Clerks Association, a sup- port and information exchange group in which she participated. It certainly appears that the "north country's" gain will be the Town of Ulysses' loss. But now It Is time for Ough to end the partial separ- ation she and her husband have endured for the past one and a half years as he commuted to Malone during the week for work with Tru-Stitch, a subsidiary of Wolverine Boots. She'll be leaving the Town Clerk's position "feeling good —everything is running smoothly." Carolyn Duddleston, Deputy Clerk and Tax Collector will fill the remainder of Ough's unexpired term until Dec. 31, 1983. Ough said Duddleston "deserves all kinds of accol- a' s..'She's served as Deputy Clerk for two years and is extremely well -qualified to take on the duties of . }• ��' ;', 1 t ' i- , u . .._ I Ulysses Town Clerk Marilyn Ough resigned her post at the April 12 board meeting.

Mrs. Ough wants all Ulysses residents to have her new address: 73 Constable St., Malone, N.Y, 12953, and she looks forward to visits from many folks. . - "We have several reservations already," site said with a characteristic smile, h I 0 0 I • is I Ulysses Town Board 4-12-83 page 4 in answer to a question on application for the Deputy Clerks' position, Mr. Backer elaborated on procedure. It will be the Clerks responsibility to appoint a Deputy Clerk. If Carolyn chooses not to run in November hopefully the Deputy Clerk will be a candidate for Clerk. Both party chairmen have been notified that the Clerk position will be open with Carolyn being appointed for the interim period. Mrs. Ough reported on licenses issued during March for a total income of $1319.75 of which $240.25 went to the Supervisor for fees. From taxes collected in March $198.03 was paid to the Supervisor in penalty fees and $13,500.00 sent to the County. She 1 noted receipt from the County Administrator of authorization to extend the tax collection period to and including June 1st, 1983. She reported that Carolyn Duddleston had taken her Notary exam in Syracuse the previous day and receipt of the following communicati Tompkins County Department of Planning -request for number of building permits issued during the first three months of 1983, 1982,& 1981 Replies to Resolution on CHIPS from - H.

Deputy Highway Superintendent James Meeker reported on March high- way activities. They hauled stone for the Town of Enfield; started pick-up of roadsites; salted roads on the 27th & 29th; pulled plows and works off; changed oilfilters and greased trucks and loader; worked on painting shop; patched roads.

If, when and how much was accepted as a town road. Mr. Meeker noted that to plow the road would require a big enough turnaround. Mr. Agard asked when Durling Road would be started. Mr. Meeker stated thatpaving would begin the last week in May but he didn't know whether Indian Fort or Durling would be first. • At 9:15 p.m. Mr. Smith moved, seconded by Mr. Herrick, that the meeting adjourn.

Section 2 altering the boundaries of the existing business district designated as inset 4 on the official zoning map of the Town of Ulysses. I am the owner of 605 Jacksonville Road(Tax Parcel 9-25-24-26) which is located in a residential district, the southerly line of which abuts the Jacksonville business district. It is requested that the business district be enlarged to include my said lot. I currently operate an antique business at the subject location and have done so since 1972 as a non -conforming use under Article VII Section 1 of the ordinance. The premises have been operated for such commercial purposes since the 1950's. Under the non-comforming use provisions, I am limited in my use of the structure to those purposes which established the non—comforming use. It is my hope to alter the business and commercial operation so as to include other commercial uses permissable under Article IV Section 3. The precise permitted use has not been determined at this time. I believe that it is clear from the record that my property was intended to be covered by the original business district. As indicated above, the use had been predominately -1- Y business and commercial for many years prior to the enactment of the initial zoning ordinance and is shown on the old maps as non-residential property. The structure has no economic value whatsoever except for business purposes. It is respectfully submitted that this small enlargement of the existing business district will have no adverse affect whatsoever on the Jacksonville community and in fact will make my property economically viable and flexible. That condition can only assist Jacksonville by attracting shoppers and others who would otherwise have no purpose to visit our community. The suggested business change is beneficial to the town overall in that we are in dire need of a commercial base for the town and the return of sales tax dollars and other revenue, I am sure, will not be rejected by the town fathers. I must emphasize that I seek only expansion of a business district. There is no consideration of industrial use or any use not permitted in a business district under the existing ordinance. Therefore, any business established at the location will be essentially consistent with and not greatly different than the existing business that has been run from that location for many years. For all of the foregoing reasons it is respectfully requested that a public hearing be called pursuant to the zoning ordinance for consideration of the suggested amendment.

Brief history of the cases Robert Livingstone and his grandmother, Pauline Livingstone, haveapplied for a building permit to extend the dimensions of a garage on their property (adding to the structure on both ends) enlarging it for use as a furniture refinishing shop. The permit was issued to the Livingstones on 2-25-83 by the Zoning Officer. A few days following the issuance of the permit, the Zoning Officer received a complaint about the issuance of the permit and reason for same. The Zoning Officer advised Mr. Crass to put the complaint in writing. In the meantime Mr. Ferretti revoked the permit relating to the home occupation and advised the Livingstones to bring the case before the Zoning Board of Appeals. Along with the permit action, Robert Livingstone and Pauline Livingstone submitted the following sworn and duly notarized statement; "To Whom It May Concerns My name is Robert Livingstone I hereby agree to these questions: 1. My business is a one-man operation 2. I have a supplier that delivers to me once a month; otherwise there is no traffic 3. I have enough space for three cars at one time 4. I use paint remover and take the waste and throw it in the garbage 5. I make about two thousand a year 6. I run my business from my home because of my handicap 7. There is no noise at all in my shop 8. I am in the process of getting rid of the garbage.

She read the public notice relating to the hearing. She then asked the Board members present to elect an acting chairman for the hearing. Mrs. Bauchle moved the election of Mr. Weitzel, Mrs. VanDyk seconded the motion. Upon vote, Mr. Weitzel was electing acting chairman. Mr. Weitzel then asked the Livingstones to speak in behalf of their appeal. Mr. Salk said he represented the Livingstones and would speak for them. He said Robert Livingstone has cerebral palsy, is unable to work elsewhere, and that Robert Livingstone wishes to continue refinishing furniture at his home, that he wished to extend the size of the garage to allow more room in which to work and protect the pieces on which he would be working; that there would be no expansion of equipment, no fumes; that if a large piece of furniture was brought in a helper would be needed for a short time to handle the item and that Robert Livingstone was not trained for any other occupation. He also said if permission was not given under Article IV, Section 2, the petitioners would ask for approval of a variance under Article II, Section 7, of the Ordinance. 1 F7 May 5, 1983 iii tOAY 1 G 1983 .OWN OF ULYSSES Mr. Merle C. Stillions, Chairman, 63 Agard Road, Trumansburg, N.Y. Town of Ulysses Zoning Board of Appeals County of Tompkins State of New York Reference: Request for Variance to Zoning Law for establishment of In -residence Furniture Refinishing Business by Pauline and Robert Livingstone, 56 Kraft Road, Town of Ulysses, zoned Residential. We the signors on the attached letter of opposition to the referenced establishment, above, are firmly committed to the Zoning Ordinance effected for our protection. The Zoning Ordinace firmly establishes the types of in -residence businesses permissible in a residential zone. The referenced business is not suitable for an in -residence business in a residential zone, nor does it meet the specifics outlined in the current Zoning Ordinance under Article II, entitled Administration: Section 6 - Article 3 Section 7 - Article 3 Section 8 - Articles 1, 2, & 3. If a variance were granted for this, type of business, the establishment would have an immediate devaluating effect on all surrounding property, both developed and undeveloped, all of which is classified as residential. _ Further, should a business of this type become established here, there would be no possible means for regulating or controlling future function of it; valuations of surrounding properties in this residential zone would continue to erode. We the said signors hereby reiterate our objection to granting of the requested variance and attach our letter of opposition dated March 3, 19 both of which we this date submit to the Clerk of the Board for file in relation thereto. cc: Thomas L. Ferretti, Zoning.Officer Roger J. Williams, Chairman, Planning Board Adrienne E.

Ferretti, zoning Officer Town df Ulysses State of New York '.'e the umderst ed residents of Kraft Road, Town of Ulysses, are in full ay.xeemet that we are in opposition to establishment cf a furniture refinishing business under the issued building permit to the Livingstone property holders in Kraft Rood, Town of Ulysses, located in a Residence District. It is obvious that the establishment as proposed is not in compliance with the Town of Ulysses Zoning Ordinance. If the pewit was issued ao an in -residence business, the addition on a garage as proposed w'.uld not comply with Use Regu- lations under Article IV, Section 1., Residence Districts, nor with Section 2., Accessory Permitted Uses in Residence Districts. We therefor believe that any permit issued on such a prcpt.sal should be rev. lied. Further, we believe that an area variance under Article II, Section 6., of the zoning Ordinance tc. allow the aforesaid establishment would produce a substantial change in the character of the neighborhood and would provide a detriment to adjoining properties.

Thomas L Ferretti ZONING OFFICER TOWN OF ULYSSES ++++++++++++....+++++•t++++t++t++ F++++++...............+++i•• .... f+++ Please bill this notice to Pauline Livingstone RD #3 Kraft Rd Ithaca,NY 14850 To appear in the Ithaca Journal on May 13,1983 Livingstone - BZA 5-25-83 p2 Mrs. Bauehle asked Mr. Livingstone if ho did any work outside of the building and was advised that ho did so at times, weather permitting, but that addition to present garage would permit better working conditions. Mrs. VanDyk asked him if he had plans for a stripping tank. He said "no", that large pieces of furniture were taken to "Sky -Top" or some other such place. Mr. Livingstone also said he has been doing furniture refinishing on and off for the past 8 years, that he learned his trade at BCCES in 1975-76, that he was not doing the work as a business until now that he uses about 5 gallons of stripping material per month, that he uses products such as "Zip". He then described the process of painting on the stripping material, scraping it off along with the old finish, that the liquid evaporates and he puts the removed finish in the garbage. • Mrs. Bauchle asked about a sign and was told he advertises in the yellow pages of the phone book, that he had a sign in front of his home but that he took it down because he "was told to". Mr. Patte then spoke as representing those at the hearing oppcsing the home occupation. He referred to the definition of "dwelling" as a residence under Article I, Section 1, of the Ordinance and indicated his understand, and that of the ® opposition, that a garage was not a part of a dwelling and that if a use variance was considered "even in face of the disability, the case does not qualify since it is a 'self imposed'hardship ". Mr. Crass said he and his wife own adjoing lots (across the road), their property is surrounded by building lots, and that they did not want a furniture refinishing occupation next to their potential building lots. John Seacord said his mother's property contains 5 or more building lots in the strip along the road, and he wanted no commercial work done in the area, that it would decrease the worth of his mother's property. Mr. Beck said if a variance is granted in this area, what happens to ether people's property in a residential area. Mrs. Crass, spoke of�he potential devaluation of property, and said a real estate agent said a business such as this one in question would devaluate property. Dennis O'Neil spoke and said he supports the Livingstones, that there would be a small amount of traffic and he did not believe there would be any lessening of the value of adjacent property. Mrs. VanDyk asked Mrs. Crass if they had complained before the Livingstones asked for the permit to enlarge the garage for a home occupation and was told"no". Mrs. Crass continued her argument that she, Mr. Crass, and others in the area did not teanf Mr. Livingstone working in the area. Mr. Patte again said the "garage" falls under the definition of "accessory building" and that Mr. Livingstone did not have to move to his present place of residence. Mr. Salk said a garage can also be attached to a home structure. There was considerable other comment back and forth among those present, usually re -iterating their arguments. The Board then retired for an executive session. Returning to the hearing room, Mr. Weitzel asked Mrs. Beers to read the following proposed resolutions WHEREAS: Robert and Pauline Livingstone have requested an interpretation of the ® Zoning Officer's decision and of the Zoning Ordinance Article IV, Section 2, therefore be it RESOLVED:If there is no substantial increase in traffic, If there are no permanent full-time employees If there is no furniture refinishing operation done outside of the building If there are no articles or materials publicly displayed, and If there is no stripping tank installed, Then the Town of Ulysses Zoning Board of Appeals determines that continued use of the structure in question by Robert Livingstone for his furniture refinishing is a home occupation permitted by this Ordinance and further the issuance of a building permit by the Zoning Officer was proper. t'O Livingstone BZA 5-25-83 p3 I Mrs. VanDyk moved the adoption of the resolution, Mrs. Bauchle seconded the motion.

Thomas L Ferretti ZONING OFFICER TOWN OF ULYSSES Please bill this notice to Pauline Livingstone RD #3 Kraft Rd Ithaca,NY 14850 To appear in the Trumansburg Free Press on May 11,1983 ULYSSES TOWN BOARD (OI PUBLIC HEARING June 6, 1983 Purpose of Hearing: Proposed Local Law #2 for 1983 declaring that the municipality will Not Enforce the NYS Uniform Fire Protection and Building Code." 11 Ulysses Supervisor Richard E. Backer called the Public Hearing to order at 8:00P.M. in the Ulysses Town Hall. Others present: Councilmen William Agard, Robert C. Herrick, James Vorp, H. William Smith. Also present Dave Kauppinen, Mr. and Mrs. Charles Smith, James Warren, Town Clerk Carolyn J. Duddleston. Richard Backer bought the public up to date on the New York State Fire and Building Code. In 1981 a special council was app- ointed by the State to investigate the need of a Fire and Building Code. In October 1982 the code, in the form of a draft was com- piled and sent out to the officials of New York State. Mrs. Duddleston then read Local Law #2 for 1983. (copy attached) Mr. Backer then explained that the new law would involve any new construction of private homes and public buildings. Also existing public buildings were to conform to State Code by Jan.1,1985. However, with the installation of smoke and protectors by Jan. 1 1984, Buildings of Public Assembly have until Jan. 1, 1989 to conform to the law. Mr. Backers' main objective being the com- plexity of a small town to enforce the plumbing and electrical standards and fire safety. If the Town chooses not to enforce this law now, we have the option of local enforcement at a later date. Dave Kauppinen, from Special Childrens Center stated that he would like to see the public informed more about this code. Robert Herrick feels that after attending State meetings on this Code that the State, who is putting together this law, should inform the public as they are the ones who supposedly understands what the law consists of. Mr. Backer stated that as this is only a rough draft no one knows at this time what the final code will involve. Mr. Herrick questioned whether or not the Code will comply to small town needs because it seems to be made for large cities. Mr. Smith asks if existing small dwellings will have to comply to the Code or if just new dwellings will be involved. Mr. Backer expressed a fear that private homes will have to comply. So far he cannot interpret that section of the law. Dave Kauppinen stated that he feels this is a violation of in- dividual rights. James Warren stated the possibility to car inspections. Ithaca Planning not been successful_ enforcing it. of enforcement being similiar Committee has a code but has • Mr. Herrick agreed and stated that the only time it is enforced is when property changes hands. Mr. Backer told the public about the meeting on Thursday night, June 9th, with the State Code Enforcement Office Representative, and invited same to attend meeting at 8:00 P.M. in the Town Hall. Perhaps some of the questions asked tonight will be answered by the State on Thursday night. At 8:20 P.M. Mr. Backer adjourned the Public Hearing. Carolyn J.

Mr. Backer led those assembled in the Pledge of Allegiance to the Flag of the U.S.A. After a moment of silence in memory of Clifford E. Bower, Mr. Backer highly praised Mr. Bower's past political activities. Mr. Vorp moved, secondedby Mr. Agard adoption of the following resolution: RESOLVED: that the Ulysses Town Board express its BE IT Adopted sympathy and condolences to the widow and family of Clifford E. Bower. FURTHER RESOLVED: that the Ulysses Town Board recognize the more..than 25 years of dedicated service as provided to the Town of Ulysses and to Tompkins County by Clifford E. Bower.

Also approved minutes from special meetings on May 18th and June 6th. Voted and unanimously carried. Mr. James Mason was not present so no report from the County. Mr. Don Oliver did not have a fire report for: the month but would bring it in later. He did state that so far this year fire calls were down. This years auction and barbecue were a success. Arlee Robinson questioned the running and care of Hope House on the Jacksonville Road. The premises are a mess and needs mowing. Mr Herrickasked who is in charge of running the Home. Mrs. Beers stated that she does not know who is in charge but does know that the Town is not involved in any way. Support comes from the County. Mr. Backer will check and see who is in charge and if anything can be done to get them to clean up. Mrs. Robinson stated that the mobile home attached to this same property is under a variance that states when the original occupants no longer lives in the trailer, the trailer has to be moved off the premises and cannot be used by any other occupant. It seems Mr. Keith is no longer living there and the trailer is being rented out to someone else. Arlee thinks this variance was made in the early 1960s. Richard Owlett invited, on behalf of the Chamber of Commerce, the Town Officials to a picnic and fire works on July 4th at 5 P.M. at Taughannock Park.

Ulysses Town Board 6-14-83 page 3 Mr. Vorp asked for discussion to state his feelings why the Town should not adopt the State Uniform Fire Prevention and Building Code. At previous meetings with the State it seems no money has been pro- vided for enforcing this law and the timing is wrong to adopt this code as there is no actual code written as yet, just a rough draft. The Town has the option of getting control of code at a later date when the State has further prepared this law. Mr. Backer agreed with Mr. Vorp as we have nothing to indicate what the final law will be. He stated that this is a poor job of legislative action from the State. The law should have been written first, then presented to local governments to study and vote on. Mr. Herrick stated that the original origin of this law was for places of assembly for 50 or more people. That portion of the law will not be in effect until 1989 and we need that part the moat. Makes little sense to enforce it on the residential premises. Tom Reitz asked if local zoning would be implemented in any way ® with this law. Mr. Herrick answered that the two are separate issues altogether and cannot be implemented together. Arlee Robinson stated that a separate law can be made on the local level but must be as astringent or more so then the State law. Mr. Backer stated that he would like to see a break down between small residential houses and larger dwellings into separate laws. The Countys attitude seems to be not to vote for the law on the County level but to send it on to the State to enforce . Mr. Oliver asked who would be liable for poor inspecting job? Mr. Backer answered that no one really knows at this time who would be liable. Adopted Mr. Herrick Aye Mr. Agard Aye Mr. Vorp Aye Mr. Smith Aye Mr. Backer Aye Mr. Herrick moved, seconded by Mr. Vorp adoption of the following resolutions: RESOLVED: that the Ulysses Town Board appoint Mr.Daniel Watson Director of Ulysses Youth Unlimited as Administrator of the Ulysses Summer Youth Employment Program.

Over the years request for Bingo games have come to the Clerks office and the Town attorney, Mr. Golder, has stated that it is illegal to have Bingo games in the Town of Ulysses. Quite by accident while researching old minutes, Mrs. Duddleston found legal notices and a Bingo Ordinance (pending election) in the minutes. Nothing was recorded as to the results of the election,. She then called the Wagering and Racing Board in Albany, who had a file on the election results. After receiving a copy of the file from the State, Mrs. Duddleston showed them to Mr. Golder, who stated that everything was in order and the Town can have Bingo games if any- one is so interested. (See attached to this minute and one attached to Sept. 1958 minutes.) B: Budget Director had no report. Highway Superintendent unable to attend. Copy of report received later and attached.

James Ray has prepared a report on the committees progress which will be presented Aug. 9, 1983 at the Board of Reps meeting. A public information meeting will be held on Aug.16, 1983. The best site, thus far, seems to be the steam plant at the old hospital. There is already water, sewer and gas lines. Hopefully by late September a final decision will be reached and included in the 1984 County Budget. Mr. Vorp asked of the steam plant site would have any impact on the expansion of Rt. 96? Mr. Mason replied no, not with the entrance and exit being on Rt. 89. Mr. Mason also stressed that the Airport land has not been ruled out. Fire Department Representative Don Oliver had no report on fire and ambulance calls for the month of June. He reported that the Fire Department purchased two sets of anti -shock trousers (help in internal bleeding patients). They now have three sets at a cost of about $300 apiece. A reserve truck is now set up to duplicate the ambulance (except for cardiac patients). At this time Bangs Ambulance is being used while body work is being done on the Trumansburg Ambulance. This work should add about three years to the age of the ambulance. They had a very good turnout for the fair this year. Mr. Owlett inquired about the procedure on purchasing the new chairs in the Town Hall? Why should the Town pay straight retail when it is not necessary and why weren't the chairs bid on? As a businessman and a taxpayer, Mr. Owlett felt he could have saved the Town about $220. Mr. Backer stated that he would speak to the Budget Director about the matter. Mr. Vorp said that it was a point well taken and thanked Mr. Owlett for his concern. Mr. Reitz complimented the Chamber of Commerce on the fire works display and would like to see same again next year.

The Zoning Officer was unable to attend so Carolyn Duddleston read his report for the month of June. Three permits issued for the month, one swimmimg pool, one storage shed and one BZA approved furniture refinishing. Plans were submitted by Robert Frost for the Morman Church on Pennsylvania Ave. Everything conforms to the zoning ordinance. Cold Springs Trailer Park has one trailer left and will soon be closed.As per the ordinance, after one year of nonexistence they loose their non -conforming status. Have had inquiries from Robert Zibulski and William Meeker on putting camping trailers on land they have owned for several years. They live in Florida for the winters and wish to live in campers during the summer. According to the Zoning Ordinance they were advised they could not have campers on unimproved property, no permanent residence is there. This might be a topic to consider for some of our older Town residents who come back for the summer months only. Received complaint of a small shelter being built on the Perry City Road by Ulysses Town Board 7-12-83 page 4 b4 the Quaker Church. Cease construction notice was given and they were advised to apply for a building permit.

Adopted Mr. Agard Aye Mr. Herrick Aye Mr. Smith Aye Mr. Vorp Aye Mr. Backer bought to the Boards attention the matter of the Baldwin ® property. Ninety days ago Mr. Baldwin requested a zoning change in his property from residential to commercial. A resolution was read and the Board asked to make motion to the effect. Mr. Agard questioned what the property will be used for before approving. Rezoning a property to commercial it can then be used for a variety of uses and not curtailed to just one use. Mr. Vorp stated that he felt any action from the Board should be taken when there are more facts presented with the request. Mr. Herrick agreed and moved to defeat the resolution, Mr. Agard seconded. Mr. Backer intervened and stated that this was not the proper way to defeat a resolution. The motion had to be made and then seconded for the resolution,not to defeat the resolution. Mr. Herrick then retracted his motion and Mr. Agard retracted his second. Mr. Vorp moved, seconded by Mr. Herrick adoption of the following resolution: RESOLVED: that the Ulysses Town Board approve the 4-13-83 request by Eugene Baldwin, seeking a change in the zoning of his property at 1940 Trumansburg Rd., Rt. 96, Tax map #20.-3-9, from residential to commercial. In the discussion that followed, Mr. Vorp asked for a vote against this resolution on grounds that not enough information is available. Tom Reitz asked if the Board could table the motion until more information can be obtained. Mr. Backer answered that the process is to defeat the resolution and let the property owner appeal. Catherine Stover spoke as a property owner across from Mr. Baldwin, she has no objection to a change in the zoning. She feels it is a good idea as the Town needs more business property. James Mason agreed and stated that the Town of Ulysses has no place for new business to move into unless an old business moves out. As there was no further discussion the Board voted.

Town Clerk ULYSSES TOWN BOARD /,r.�e '7D August 9, 1983 The regular monthly meeting of the Ulysses Town Board was called to order at 8 p.m. in the Town Hall by Supervisor Richard Backer. Others present: Councilmen Robert Herrick, William Agard, William Smith, James Vorp. Also present Highway Superintendent Rolf Holtkamp, Firemen Representative Richard Durling, Freepress Reporter Debbie Burton, Carl Cox, Arlee Robinson, Tom Reitz, Robert Weatherby, Catherine Stover, Doug and Mark Duddleston, George and Gail Kennedy, Budget Director Aileen Beers and Town Clerk Carolyn Duddleston. Mr. Backer led those assembled in the Pledge of Allegiance to the 4 flag of the U.S.A. Mr. Vorp moved, seconded by Mr. Agard that the minutes of the July 12, 1983 meeting as typed and distributed to the Board members be approved. Voted and unanimously carried. Tompkins County Representative James Mason reported on the Board of Representatives meeting held that day. TC3 Budget was approved with very few adjustments. Tompkins County's share will be increased by ® $40,000. A referendum will be on the ballots this fall to establish a public power agency in the county. The agency would work to protect low energy costs for county residents. All negotiations were severed with the two (2) companies who wanted to buy the old hospital site. A better request was received to lease the property but at this time Mr. Mason could not give anymore details except to say it looks very promising. After an evaluation was done on the steam plant at the old hospital, it was decided that the site is unfavorable for the new Tompkins County Jail. Firemen Representative Richard Durling told of a purchase of 10 more minitors for the firemens belts. A support in the form of a cash donation from the Town of Ulysses was requested for the Woodcutters Show on the 10'"and l]7 of September. There will be a Civil War re- enactment sponsored by the 22nd Virginia Group (rebels). This years show is being dedicated in memory of Earl Richar. Mr. Vorp asked where the funds that are raised from this show will go? Mr. Durling replied that all monies raised will go into the equipment fund for the following year thus saving the taxpayer money. Mr. Reitz, as spokeman for a group of concerned citizens from Jack- sonville,:requested a reduction in the speed limit on the Jackson- ville Road between Mekeel Road and the Cold Springs Road. In the light of a number of small businesses springing up on the Jacksonville Road, traffic is becoming a problem. A petition was submitted and is attached. Mr. Backer informed Mr. Reitz that the Board would consider the matter and it would be on the September agenda. Arlee Robinson asked the Board to please reconsider the three(3) propositions on the 1983 ballot making the term of Supervisor, Clerk and Highway Superintendent four(4) years instead of two(2) years. The reason for the request is the fact that for the three positions involved there will be three (3) new people filling them and the public should have a chance to see how the new officials react to their jobs. At this point there is a difference of opinion amongst ® the Board members as to whether or not the term of office would take effect with the new term or after the 19v6 election. Mr. Holtkamp stated that all we would be doing is delaying as new people could be • be elected every two years. Mr. Backer will talk to the town lawyer and get back to the Board. Mr. Herrick moved, seconded by Mr. Smith adoption of the following resolution: RESOLVED: that the following, previously examined vouchers be approved for payment by the Supervisor: General Fund nos. 185 through 204 $2455.36 Highway Fund nos. 110 through 122 $11,950.25 Part Town nos. 19 through 20 $12.31 Adopted Mr. Agard Aye Mr. Herrick Aye Mr. Smith Aye Mr. Vorp Aye Mr. Backer Aye 14 August 8, 1983 Ulysses Town Elm Street Trumansburg, Board NY 14886 We the undersigned, as Jacksonville residents, request the Ulysses Town Board to take appropriate steps to have the speed limit reduced on the Jacksonville Road from the Mekeel Road to the Cold Springs Road.

Mr. Backer asked the Board when they would be available for a meeting with the insurance representative to discuss the plan. Mr. Vorp commented that there is no harm in talking over the insurance plan but as this looks like a better plan would we be inticed into changing plans and then having the rates raised. Aileen Beers answered that all health insurance goes up every 6 months regardless of who the company is. Mr. Backer stated that this regional plan will increase but not as fast as the metropolitan plan we have now. The Board then settled on a couple of dates to meet with the representative. Mr. Holtkamp passed out a packet of previous minutes from the Town of Ulysses and the Town of Covert concerning the care of the Town Line Road. The upkeep of the road is split between Ulysses, Covert, and the Village of Trumansburg. A special meeting was called, for the following night to clarify who is responsible for which sections of the road. Mr. Holtkamp handed out the packets to the Board so that they would be prepared for Wednesdays meeting. Mr. Holtkamp then submitted the two (2) proposals he received for repairing the barn roof. Mr. Backer intervened here and stated his belief that a cost with the magnitude of the town barn roof should be budgeted, not proposed in the middle of the year. Mr. Herrick agreed and stated that the proposals would give us an idea of how much to budget next year for the job. Mr. Holtkamp said that the roof is rusting fast and could be a major job if let go another year the cost will be greater. Mr. Agard moved, seconded by Mr. Herrick adoption:of the following resolution: RESOLVED: that the Ulysses Town Board make the repair of the Town Barn roof an item in the 1984 Budget. Mr. Vorp asked if there was monies available this year and will the roof last until next year and what would the cost be if we waited until 1984 to do these repairs? Mr. Holtkamp stated that the cost would be a good deal greater. Mr. Smith and Mr. Agard both agreed that the roof would be safe to leave until 1984 and Mrs. Beers replied that there is money available now if the Board sees fit to do the repairs now. After a little more discussion the Board voted on the resolution. Adopted Mr. Agard Aye Mr. Herrick Aye Mr. Smith Aye Mr. Vorp Aye Mr. Backer Aye �. Before Mr. Holtkamp gave his monthly report he asked if the file cabinets he has been waiting for have been ordered yet. The Board agreed that they should be ordered and Mrs. Beers said she would take care of it. rwlr. fnMrzy !o/ - _., .Cos r T �uJN /�16r:R j X5`0°10..__ . I4 iL.... — - —...

Mr. Backer explained the reasons to the public for the change in insurance carriers. (see August minutes) He then explained that this resolution does not bind the Town to changing plans but authorizes th Board to check into the plan deeper. December 1st is the deadline to withdraw from the State policy. Tom Reitz asked if other companies were reviewed? Mr. Backer answered that the county did a study on insurance plans and the Town followed their reccomendations. Resolu- tion was than voted on. Adopted Mr. Smith Aye Mr. Vorp Aye Mr. Herrick Aye • Mr. Backer Aye Mrs. Duddleston reported on licenses issued for the month of August for a total of $3,633.25 of which $321.67 went to the Supervisor. Correspondence received; Change in hours for the Town Justic Court. Judge Montgomery will change his Tuesday morning Court to Tuesday evenings at 5:PM with a promise not to interferewith board meetings. Mr. Meeker, who was replacing Mr. Holtkamp for the meeting reported on August activities. Travel 4209 miles, had 85 equipment hours and used 927 gallons of foe) During the month they helped Tompkins Co., Enfield, Village and school. They swept roads, put up new road name signs, trimmed brush, mowed all roads and patched roads. Mr. Herrick asked Mr. Meeker his opinion on the work shared with 0th municipalities? Is there a reasonable return in equipment and personall used? Mr. Meeker replied that he feels the county is good about paying back but not other agencies. He feels that when a Ulysses Town Board 9/20/93 page 3 -76 vehicle leaves the Town Barns full of gas it should be returned full and feels that Ulysses should see this policy started. The man hour exchange is pretty good but not the equipment exchange. Mr. Meeker does not feel he is in a position to say to other road superintendents that a change should be made. Mr. Vorp asked how an exchange of equipment and man hours is made. Mr. Meeker replied that a phone call to Mr. Holt kamp is made and if he has men and equipment free he sends them. Mr. Reitz asked about the outcome of the meeting between the Village of Trumansburg, Town of Covert, and the Town of Ulysses. Mr. Meeker stated that there would be no change for the town, just the village and Town of Covert. Mr. Reitz than asked about the possibility of the town dump behind the barns filling up in the near future. Mr. Meeker replied that 1 he couldn't see it filling in the near future as the only things allowed in there was brush, weeds and some dirt which is taken back out when needed. Mr. Herrick asked Mr. Meeker if that dump is ever fired to burn off brush and Mr. Meeker replied with a definite NO. Mr. Herrick than explained his question stemmed from the burning of the Village dump which produces very offensive odors for the residents in that area. ® Mr. Herrick than asked Mr. Backer to contact the village and make a request that the village dump is no longer burned but covered with clean dirt in the future. Mr. Ferretti was not present but a report was submitted which is at El rT L\� Mr. Backer asked the boards opinion on keeping the copier open to the public.to use. The village now has a private business that makes copies for l0G apiece and Mr. Backer does not want to compete with a private business. Mr. Vorp suggested that a sign could be put on this copier that states copies could be made cheaper eleswhere. Mr. Herrick stated that as long as we are offering a non competitive rate and there are no complaints from the public he can see no harm in keeping the copier for all to use. Mr. Backer informed the board that the copier brings in about $2100.00 yearly and what money is left after paper,etc., is bought is put back into the budget. The board unanimously agreed that the cop- ier should stay as is. Mr. Smith asked Mr. Meeker if anything could be done on the Iradell- Halseyville Rds. intersection as the brush has gotten quite tall there, and causes great difficulties in seeing the oncoming traffic. Mr. Meeke replied that as it is County property, he would speak to them about cutting the brun.h and removing vehicles. Mr. Vorp bought up the question on the proposition on the changing of the Supervisor,, Town Clerk, and Superintendent terms to four years. Mr. Backer replied that one opinion has been received from the attorney and we are waiting for one more opinion, but it looks like the term wou not become effective until after 1986 elections. Mr. Herrick asked if somehow the effective date be included on the ballotso that the public will not be confused. Mr. Backer will talk to the town attorney on the wording. At 9:11 p.m. Mr. Herrick moved seconded by Mr. Smith that the meeting adjourn. Voted and unanimously carried.

Many permits are coming in Sept. but no requests for a BZA as yet. During this period I received four. (4) complaints which have now been remedied and are in compliance with the zoning ordinance. They were: 1) A complaint of sloppy building and no permit for a shed on the lake at Robert Nelsons. A tour by boat and a meeting with Mr. Nelson has rectified the problem. Mr. Nelson has received a permit, and on another boat tour, this officer has seen demolition and newer construction. 2) Another complaint on Perry Auto as to cars parked outside the fence in violation of his variance approval. Mr. Allen has since moved several, but still not completely. 3) Received a complaint of illegal building on Willow Pt. Rd. Explained to complairitant that a permit was not necessary. Had inquiries to trees and fences along property lines. Owner wanted to shield his property on Cole Grove Rd., the Robideaus. 4) Received a complaint on the Robinson property Rt. 89. Coiplaint stated she was re -building a porch addition to close to the Stanton property and didn't have a permit. Checked into the situation and advised Stantons that the Robinsons didn't need a permit. The reason being the porch was existing and had deteriorated by the weather and they were replacing the exact dimensions. The Stantons also complained of the porch being too close to their property line. This officer checked the site and the Robinsons were not moving any closer. The Stantons and the Robinsons still have a disagreement to property lines that has been going on for years and were advised to handle them in Supreme Court with their attorneys. During the two (2) months I traveled 15 miles by boat, 416 by car, for a total of 431 miles. I checked over old permits on Perry City Rd., the Hurd property, the Schoenfeld developement and numerous others. Every- where I've gone for the last two (2) months I've received many zoning questions and it seems like a million phone calls. I'm in a Tuesday 7-9 pm bowling league, but would be able to get a substitute if particular zoning matters come up at monthly meetings. T. L.

Adopted Mr. Herrick ayes Mr. Agard ayes Mr. Smith ayes Mr. Vorp ayes Mr. Backer ayes Mr. Herrick moved, seconded by Mr. Smith that the board hold an Executive Session for personnel and real estate. Voted and unanimously carried. Mr. Backer explained that the reason for the Executive Session ® was to discuss the possibility of purchasing property for a parking lot and to discuss wages with hourly wage earners. Mrs. Duddleston reported on licenses issued for the month of September for a total of $2092.50 of which $280.95 went to the Supervisor. Correspondence received: Newsletter from Dewitt Historical Society Town of Ithaca- Notice of Public Hearings Statement of Conditions of the Banks, Trust Companies and Private Banks Supervisors Financial Report Also received was a notice from the Dept. of State on whether or not the town wished to continue receiving the NYS Register. Mrs. Duddleston called the town lawyer and he stated that he has never used the Register and never would. After a short discussion the board unanimously decided not to receive the NYS Register in the future. Mrs. Beers stated that a copy of the budget could be seen in the clerks office. She estimated that the Town taxes will be about 340 a thousand over 1983 taxes. So far this is just a guess. Mr. Reitz asked is this was the tentative or preliminary budget? Mrs. Beers replied the preliminary budget. Mr. Backer suggested that when a more stable and permanent government is established in Ulysses that a session is called to discuss taxes in the future and where the town can generate more tax help. Mr. Agard stated that we lost tax money thru farmland being reassessed at a lower rate because farmland in the past was over assessed. Mr. Holtkamp reported for the month of September that 4223 miles were traveled, 21 equipment hours used and 1094 gallons of fuel used. They patched roads, put shoulders on Durling and Indian Fort Roads, spray patched all roads and helped Tompkins County (32 hrs.),Village of Trumansburg (32 hrs.),Town of Enfield(24 hrs.), and Trumansburg School (32hrs.). Mr. Agard stated that he was disappointed that the zoning officer was ® not present. He has received phone calls from people who are disturbed about swearing out complaints on neighbors and feels that Mr. Ferretti should be out patrolling the roads more, the main complaint being ® junk cars. Mr. Backer answered that at a meeting with the zoning officer early in the year, it was decided that Mr. Ferretti would operate on his own. If changes are desired now another meeting with the zoning officer should be called. Mrs. Beers thinks a zoning officer needs to operate from neighbors complaints and cannot cover the whole town alone. Mr. Agard agreed, but stated that neighbors are reluctant to swear out complaints as nobody wants trouble with a neighbor. Mr. Reitz asked if there was any word on the updating of the zoning law Mr. Backer said he had called Mr. Stover last week and lie would be getting a copy of the revised zoning. At 8:41 Mr. Smith moved, seconded by Mr. Herrick that the meeting adjourn until October 25, 1983 at 7 p.m. Voted //and ��unanimously carried. due; L Lc0 c✓ Caro yS'J.

Present at Hearing: Supervisor Richard Backer, Councilmen Robert Herrick, William Agard, William Smith, James Vorp. Also present: Deputy Clerk Marsha Georgia, Highway Superintendent Rolf Holtkamp, Mr. and Mrs. James Golden, Arlee Robinson, Nancy Dean, Diane Hillman, Beach Stover, Bud Stover, Catherine Stover, Doug Duddleston, Allan Grant, Dennis O'Neil, Pat Moe, Patrice O'Neil, Joan Keith and Town Clerk Carolyn Duddleston. ® At 8 p.m. Mr. Backer called the meeting to order. Legal notice was read by Mrs. Duddleston as it appeared in the newspaper. ® Mr. Backer explained that each speaker would have three (3) minutes !� to speak. He then read the resolution. ® Arlee Robinson stated that the intent in the beginning of zoning was to zone this property as a business. She has no opposition to the business other then the lack of parking space. Diane Hillman has no objection other then parking space. Bud Stover in favor of business district. Beach Stover in favor of business district. Nancy Dean asked what kind of business Mr. O'Neil will be doing in the future. Mr. O'Neil answered his business would stay as it is now, boat rentals, tackle and antiques. Jim Golden in favor of business but needs parking. Allan Grant stated that the parking lot work has been contracted and work to start soon. Pat Moe in favor of business district. Joan Keith in favor of business district. Mr. O'Neil responding to parking, not all parked cars his business. Plans are made for a five (5) to six (6) car lot. (plans attached) Arlee Robinson asked where boats that are rented are kept now and where will they be kept in the future. Mr. O'Neil answered that they are and will be stored in the side yard. He also stated that he would erect a small parking sign to keep trucks and trailers off the road. Mr. Backer informed the board that the zoning ordinance states that for off-street parking a business needs two (2) square feet of parking space for each square foot of gross floor area and they 19 should take these facts into consideration before making a decision. Mr. Herrick asked Mr. O'Neil if he would resolve to take care of off- street parking problem prior to approval. He feels parking should be corrected before a decision is made. Mr. O'Neil stated that as the plans are already made for parking he was hoping the board would give their approval with contingency of his doing the lot. Mr. Vorp asked Mr. O'Neil what the rush of passing this change tonight. Mr. O'Neil stated he was under the impression that his business was already zoned. while he is here now he would like to see this approved and save time for him. Mr. Backer stated that the resolution could be passed tonight with effective date upon approval of parking area. If parking area does not comply to zoning, Mr. O'Neil will have to apply to BZA for a variance. Mr. Vorp moved, seconded by Mr. Herricl<adoption of the following resolution: RESOLVED: that the Town of Ulysses amend the Zoning Ordinance of the Town of Ulysses as follows: TOWN of ULYSSES 10 ELM STREET TRUMANSBURD, N.Y. 14986 Nov. 5, 1983 Re: Commercial District To Town Board: Per your request this officer went to the O'Neil property on Jackson- ville Road on Oct. 29, 1983 and measured for the parking lot per the requirements of the hearing. The inside store space is 22 x 11.6,total square footage is 255 square feet. The Ulysses Zoning calls for double or 510 square feet, which would be equivalent to five (5) parking spaces for off street parking. Mr. O'Neil and myself did some extensive measuring and came up with the following: We used the existing driveway which is located on the southwest side of his building, the space agreed to would be approximately 20 x 40. Mr. O'Neil will have contractor in within the week. This area would be around 800 square feet, far above the required 510 square feet. On November 5, 1983, this officer went back to the O'Neil property and remeasured the final parking lot which has crushed stone. The lot com- pleted is 24 x 42 with a total of 1008 square feet. Prior to the construction of the lot, Mr. O'Neil received a building permit for the lot and two directional signs indicating off street parking. It is in my opinion that the O'Neil property conforms with the off street parking regulations of the Town of Ulysses Ordinance. R spectf�lly, Thomas L.

Mrs. Duddleston read the legal notice of the public hearing as it appeared in the newspaper. Budget Director Aileen Beers announced that the first payment of theb Federal Revenue Sharing has been received in the amount of $5929.00. ®She has estimated that in the next twelve months the town will receive $23,716.00 through Federal Revenue Sharing. Mrs. Beers then explained a change in the Justice Department. As the secretary will be putting in more hours the amount of her salary will change but the total amount in the Justice Department will stay the same as figures were shifted around. The State Aid will be the same as figured, $34,000 for general fund and $24,400 for highway. Mr. Herrick read a letter from Martin Luster requesting that the Budget Directors salary be raised to $5,000 from $4,000. Mrs. Beers stated that if this salary is raised then the contingency fund would be reduced by $].000. In answer to Mr. Reitzs' questions on the contingency fund, Mrs. Beers explained that the money is set aside each year for overdrawn accounts and emergencies. Mr. Herrick explained that this is the only way to meet extras such as schools for the new town officials. Mr. Herrick reccommends to the board that they accept Mr. Lusters request to increase the Budget Directors salary.by $1000 with amount coming from the contingency fund. Mr. Reitz asked about the increase in. the Capital Fund from $5000 to $15000. Mr. Agard explained that as the Town Hall needs room to expand, we need money set aside for this expansion. This is what the Capital Fund will be used for. Mr. Reitz questioned several addition errors and stressed the point that the copy of the Budget in the Clerks office for the publics use was very inadequate and hard to work with. Mr. Herrick agreed and asked Mrs. Beers to correct the Budget and have more information ready for the regular board meeting on next Tuesday night. As there was no further comments, Mr. Herrick moved, seconded by Mr. Vorp that the meeting adjourn at 7:55p.m. Voted and unanimously carried.

The regular meeting of the Ulysses Town Board was called to order at 8 p.m. in the Town Hall by Supervisor Martin Luster. Others present: Councilmen Robert Herrick, James Vorp, William Agard, and Councilwoman Carolyn Duddleston. Also present: Highway Super- intendent James Meeker, Clayton Smith, Bud Stover, Catherine Stover, Doug Duddleston, Alice Larson of Tr -Village Penneysaver, Debbie Burton of the Freepress, Lou Murphy, Jeanne Vanderbilt, Richard Owlett, Tom Reitz, Don Oliver, Lou Jansen and four (4) Boy Scouts. Mr. Luster led those assembled in the Pledge of Allegiance to the flag of the United States of America. Mr. Herrick moved, seconded by Mr. Agard that the minutes of the December 13th, 1983 and December 29th, 1983 meetings as typed and ® distributed to the Board members be approved. Voted and unanimously carried. Mr. Oliver reported on Trumansburg Fire Department activities during December (copy attached). Mr. Vorp moved, seconded by Mr. Herrick resolution: RESOLVED: that the following, pre, be approved for payment General Fund Nos. 1-16 Highway Fund Nos. 1-6 adoption of the following iiously examined, vouchers by the Supervisor: $3136.20 4048.49 Adopted Mr. Herrick Aye Mr. Vorp Aye Mr. Agard Aye Mrs. Duddleston Aye Mr. Luster Aye OLD BUSINESS Mr. Luster reported on the Baldwin/Kline property that was approved on October 25th, 1983, for Planned Development. Before being finalized and incorporated into the Town Zoning he is waiting a formal map. A new map is being redrawn by Mr. Kline's attorney. Mr. Herrick advised that Mr. Golder look it over when it arrives. Mr. Luster asked for input and thought regarding: Repeal of Local Law re: Fire Prevention and Building Code Enforcement. Town of Ulysses elected not to enforce and therefore turned it back to Tompkins County who in turn decided not to enforce, so therefore it went back to State. Albany's new codes would be an added expense and add additional delay in issuing of a Building Permit. If we repeal law, which can be done at any time, we could bypass Albany. Another thought may be to explore sharing the duty with another Town. Mrs. Duddleston asked whether Mr. Luster had any candidates for the position. He responded that he didn't and that they should keep an eye open. Mr. Herrick and Mr. Vorp's thoughts were to sit tight and see what effect the State Law would have on individuals. 0 NEW BUSINESS Mr. Luster announced his appointments as Supervisor. a) Bookkeeper - Jeanne Vanderbilt • b) Town Historian - Esther Northrup c) Chairman Highway Committee - William Agard d) Chairman Buidling & Maintenance - James Vorp Mr. Agard moved, seconded by Mr. Herrick adoption of the following resolution: RESOLVED: that the Ulysses Town Board appoint individuals as per attached list. Mr. Luster went over the list and pointed out the vacant seats that still need to be filled. Mr. Luster read the list; Town Attorney position had had six (6) responses, all of which were Town of Ulysses attornies. The Planning Board had two (2) new appointments and one (1) reappointment. Mr. Reitz pointed out that the Planning Board appointments were farmers and no representation of Hamlets or the Village. Mr. Luster thought the point was well taken, but bear in mind an appointment expires each year. The new appointments should inhance the Board to be more active. Ulysses Town Board 1-10-84 Page 2 Mr. Vorp replied in regard to the appointment of Mr. Smith to keep in mind he does have twelve years of experience as a Board member. Also Mr. Backer, the past Town Supervisor, had some very good ideas on the Town Planning. Mr. Vorp was appointed as the S.P.C.A. Liaison.

Poultry Farm a total of $2,470.78, which is to be treated and collected in the same manner as any other contract due the Town under the General Fund. She had previously distributed to the Board Members her Annual Report for 1983. To date, the Tax Collector has received $58,431.65 against the Tax Warrant of $552,377.61. Mr. Meeker started his report differently than the past, because he felt the public wasn't interested in total miles traveled and how much fuel they had used during the month. He did state that they rn are recorded. He also asked for any public input on what they would like to hear. He did report on the quotation from Seneca Supply on a Fox Spreader that he felt would be an asset to the Town. Seventy miles of road are now covered by the crew in snow removal and salting and/or cindering with one truck with the existing spreader which is ® old and parts are hard to find. The new spreader will also allow more versatility because cinders or sand can be added to the salt. This addition can do a better job in some weather conditions. He has looked at several makes of spreaders and also talked with Dryden, Lansing, and the Village crews. They all have and use the Fox Spreader and have had very good success. Mr. Herrick complimented Jim on his quick response for the need to look into this matter. Mr. Clayton Smith, in the audience, stated that if a new spreader would improve the condition of the roads and avoid only one accident, it surely would be a good investment. Mr. Agard moved, seconded by Mr. Herrick adoption of the following resolution: RESOLVED: that the Town Board give Jim Meeker, Highway Super- intendent, authorization to purchase from Seneca Supply one Fox Spreader in the quoted price (quote attached) of $4,342.38. Adopted Mr. Herrick Aye Mr. Vorp Aye ® Mr. Agard Aye Mrs. Duddleston Aye Mr. Luster Aye Mr. Tom Reitz asked Mr. Meeker if he had hired a replacement as yet. Jim replied, that Ron Durling would be starting Monday, January 16th, 1984. Mr. Ferritti was absent although he submitted his report as Zoning Officer, which was read (copy attached). Mrs. Duddleston expressed her opinion that the Board should approve the purchase of the Ithaca Journal for the Clerk's use. She moved and seconded by Mr. Herrick adoption of the following resolution: RESOLVED: the the Town Board approve subscribing to the Ithaca Journal and authorized the Clerk to do so. (Free Press is already subscribed to). Adopted Mr. Herrick Aye • Mr. Vorp Aye Mr. Agard Aye Mrs. Duddleston Aye Mr. Luster Aye • Mrs. Duddleston also expressed her thoughts on having the Building Permits published in the Ithaca Journal and Free Press. This would allow the public to be more aware of what is happening in the community. The other Board members agreed. Mrs. Duddleston moved, seconded by Mr. Herrick that the Zoning Officer should be directed to publish Building Permits. Voted and unanimously carried. No other Board Members had anything to report. In.the absence of Mr. Jim Mason, County Representative, Mr. Luster led the Board in a brief discussion concerning equalizing apportion- ments. The Board is looking forward to Mr. Mason's report on this matter. If anyone has any feelings on this situation, please feel free to speak. No Response. Mr. Herrick asked Mr. Luster if he had any input on the Tom Tran. Ulysses Town Board 1--1t) ,84'r Page 5 ' '11 Mr. Luster said he did not and would follow up on this before next months meeting.

When Mr. Dunn had a title search made of his newly purchased property it was found that an old portion of this land was still deeded to the Town of Ulysses. Mr. Mason re- ported that it was never a County Road, and that he had contacted the County Attorney whose response was to go along with the Town as long as there was no adverse effect on any other adjoining land owners. Mr. Luster feels that Town land cannot be given away and recommends not to accept the purchase offer of $1.00. Mr. Herrick moved, seconded by Mr. Agard the adoption of the following resolution: RESOLVED: that we sell property to Mr. James Dunn with a Quick Claim Deed for $100.00.

It allows the Department of Environmental Conservation to regulate certain activities on wetlands of 12.4 acres or more, and on individual smaller wetlands that DEC has determined to be of unusual local importance. DEC is to notify each land owner whose land may • contain areas of freshwater wetlands. The Town of Ulysses has three (3) possible sites. It may be resolved to pass on to the State for regulating. No action was taken. Mr. Reitz suggested someone from our Planning Board attend the public hearing March 21, 1984 and the S informational meeting March 14, 1984. Mr. Herrick moved, seconded by M'r.

A map was examined with the boundaries to be changed to go down Route 79 to Halseyville Road, to Enfield Center Road. This is the Town of Enfields proposal. The consensus of the Ulysses Board is to have the boundary follow Route 79. It would make it much simplier for residents. Mr. Vorp moved, seconded by Mrs. Duddleston the adoption of the followint resolution: RESOLVED: that the consensus of the Board of the Town of Ulysses be that the representative line boundaries follow down Route 79 Adopted: Mr. Herrick Aye Mr. Agard Aye Mr. Vorp Aye Mrs. Duddleston Aye Mr. Luster Aye Mr. Herrick reported on the Indian Land Claim/Connecticut Hill meeting he had attended regarding turning over Connecticut Hill to the Cayuga Indians. The general consensus of the meeting was "dissatisfaction" of possibly losing the Connecticut Hill Wildlife Management Area. Connecticut Hill is one of several sites in New York being considered in a settlement with the Cayuga Nation in response to their lawsuit. The lawsuit was filed in 1980 to gain return of the 64,000 acres lost in a 1795 treaty with the then newly -formed United States. The State Parks are also being considered, commented Tom Reitz. Mr. Agard expressed his concern because most of the land here in this community was originally Military Tracts and possibly all in jeopardy. Mr. Herrick's main thought conveyed to the Board and audience was that no land should be turned over to the Cayuga Indians, that the settle- ment should be money. Mr. Burton commented that if it was money in lieu of land, that Federal money should be used. Mr. Herrick moved, seconded by Mr. Agard the adoption of the following resolution: RESOLVED: that the Town Board of the Town of Ulysses opposes any settlement of the Cayuga Indian Land Claim Law- S suit which would include the transfer of any land. BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED: that settlement to the Cayuga Indians be money, that they then can purchase land with; BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED: that the Cayuga Indian Land Claim Law- suit be handled through the Courts. The Clerk called the role for the recording of the vote: Mr. Herrick Aye Mr. Aqard Aye Mr. Vorp Aye Mrs. Duddleston Aye Mr. Luster No Adopted. Mr. Luster's reason for his "No Vote" was; he felt the Cayuga Indians had a strong claim and that land settlement would be a proper remedy in this case, not money. He also felt if left up Ulysses Town Board 2-14-84 Page to the Courts to decide, it would should keep in a position where w 6 I e be out of our control; could negotiate. ► I1 that Ore The minutes of the February 1, 1984 meeting of the Planning Board were distributed to the Board members. (Copy attached). Roland Reynolds was selected 1984 Chairman. W. William Smith is recommended to the Ulysses Town Board to be Representative to the Tompkins County Planning Board for 1984. Mr. Agard moved, seconded by Mr. Herrick the adoption of the follow- ing resolution: RESOLVED: that the Town's Planning Board appointment of H. William Smith to Town Representative to Tompkins County Planning Board, be approved Adopted: Mr. Herrick Aye Mr. Agard Aye Mr. Vorp Aye Mrs. Duddleston Aye Mr. Luster Aye Mrs. Georgia reported on licenses issued for January. A total of $652.25, of which $3.46.00 went to the Supervisor (report on file in Supervisors Office) $2470.78 was received from ISA Poultry Farm for "In Lieu of Taxes". This has been turned over to the Supervisor for deposit into the General Fund. To date, Paula Mount, Receiver of Taxes has collected $322,094.01 against the tax roll. She has turned over $230,228.00 to the Supervisor, which is the total due the Town. $90,000.00 will be turned over to the County on Thursday for the first payment to them. Pauls noted to Mrs. Georgia that we are about $34,000.00 ahead of last years collections at this time.

Also copies of the new Building Permits. Mrs. Georgia read a "Thank You" note from Bill Smith for the retire- ® ment dinner held in December. Zoning Officer, Tom Ferretti was absent. Mr. Luster read his report (copy attached). Mrs. Duddleston brought it to the Board's attention that Mr. Meeker's files have never been purchased for his office in the Town Barns. The Clerk was directed to look up the already passed resolution and take care of it accordingly. With no other business at hand, Mr. Luster asked for a motion for adjournment. At 10:00 P.M., Mr. Herrick moved, seconded by Mr. Vorp to adjourn the meeting. Voted and unanimously carried. MG/pm I Marsha L. Georgia Town Clerk _.r.

Budd Stover 108 Gorge Road Trumansburg, N.Y. 14886 Dear Mr. Stover: WILLIAM AGARD, Councilman ROBERT C. HERRICK, Councilman CAROLYN J. DUDDLESTON, Councilman JAMES E. VORP, Councilman On behalf of the Town Board I write to you with regard to three items: 1) Under provisions of the Town Law, the Town Board has the responsibility of appointing the chairman of the Planning Board. If the Town Board fails to act, the Planning Board may select its own chairman. This year the Town Board has suggested that the selection of a chairman of the Planning Board be made by the Planning Board itself. In that regard, I have enclosed a list of the Planning Board as we expect it will be constituted after the January 10th organization meeting of the Ulysses Town Board. As you will note, there hat been several changes made in the composition of the Board, including several retired people who we think would have the time and inclination to take an active role. The Town Board has informally suggested that Richard Backer be con- sidered for appointment as the new chairman. We would appreciate the Planning Board acting upon this appointment as soon as is practical so that the work of that Board can get under way. 2) The Town Board should also appoint a representative to the County Planning Board and we would appreciate a recommendation from the Town Planning Board of one of its members to fill that position. 3) There has been some discussion regarding future economic and commercial development of the Town. To further that discussion, I have enclosed a copy of a proposed local law which would establish an industrial and commercial incentive board. I believe that the draft of the law is self-explanatory. The Town Board felt that before this law is formally introduced and presented at a public hearing, that the Planning Board be afforded an opportunity to review the same and to render its comments and recommendations to -2 - the Town Board. These comments may deal with the substance of the proposed law as well as the composition of the proposed board. I would appreciate the Planning Board's action on the foregoing three items. Thank you. Ver truly o r Marti ster MAL:lka cc: James Vorp Carolyn Duddleston Robert C. Herrick William Agard P.S. A note from Mrs. VanDyke dated November 28, 1983 expressing her concern regarding the proliferation of TV discs. The Planning Board may_ wish to consider this.

Letter sent with all new construction to Tompkins County Assessment. Patrol of area was 86 miles. Answered one complaint of debris and garbage in Jacksonville. Letter sent to owner of land.

Thomas Ferretti Zoning Officier I e I ' 4ew code will delay permits From town to county to state and back again By GERI SPEW/ -I ULYSSES —As the building season opens, building permits applied for In the Town of Ulysses will take longer to be Issued, On January 1, 1984, a State Uni- form Fire Prevention and Building Code Act took ef- fect. The state hopes this safety measure will decrease the loss of life, amount of injuries and property damage as a result of fires. The fire prevention code will ensure that standard building techniques and materials are used to make new construction more fire resistant. The policy of the state is to encourage local governments to enforce this uniform code. in June, 1983, the Town of Ulysses opted to relin- quish the authority to enforce this code to the county. In turn, the county passed its option back to the state. Referring to this' "short-sighted legislation from Albany," Ulysses Town Supervisor Martin Luster said it was outrageous for the state to enact a law and not be set up to administer it. A building permit must now be granted by the state before construction can be star- ted. The state, however, has made no provisions to fund an inspection system to review the applications for Town Supervisor Luster said it is outrageous for the state to enact a law and not be set up to administer it. A building permit must now be granted by the state before any construction can start in Ulysses. building permits. These applications must be filed with Albany and include a fee based upon the valuation of the construction and three sets of plans. Basically, this law requires that the seal and signature of a licensed architect or professional engineer be affixed to all plans submitted except for farm buildings, residential buildings of under 1,500 gross square feet, or to altera- tions costing under $10,000. According to Supervisor Luster, "Town enforce- ment of this code would be the most responsible ap- proach." That'. Wduld'. provide. tot . t'local, people. . . Ulysses buys land behind Town Hall By DEBBIE BURTON TRUMANSBURO—The Ulysses Town Board ap- proved the $8,000 purchase of land behind the Town Hall on Elm Street at its Feb. 14 meeting. The 120 by 75 tract of land is being bought from Olva and Marcia Vesa of Trumansburg. Town Supervisor Martin Luster said the land would be used to expand the town offices. Court matters are especially In need of more privacy than is now available. Also Included will be a parking lot to be used by the Vesas and the town. County Rep. James Mason (R -Ulysses) was present at the board meeting and told of a new Freshwater Wetlands regulation which will affect two Ulysses property owners. In 1975 the State Legislature passed the Freshwater Wetlands Act to allow the Department of Environmental Conservation control or activities in continued on page 7 dealing with local residents" and make it easier to ob- tain information and to check on the progress of an application for a building permit. I would be more ef- ficient as the town would only deal with local applica- tions. The forms are already available at the town clerk's office and application for a zoning permit must be made locally. Another option mentioned by Luster would be to create a county -wide agency similar to the health department which could handle the inspections continued on page 7 .

Ulysses Town Board 3-13-84 Page 3 The Public Hearing is set for March 27, 1984 at 7:30 P.M. at the Town Hall, 10 Elm Street, Trumansburg, NY. Mr. Luster introduced, seconded by Mr. Agard, the adoption of the following resolution: RESOLVED: that pursuant to Section 274 and Section 275 of the Town Law, the Ulysses Town Planning Board be and it hereby is requested to review the economic conditions of the Town and make recommendations on the basis of such review to the Town Board with respect to actions it deems desirable to improve the economic climate and commercial activity therein. SIt is FURTHER RESOLVED: that in conducting the foregoing review, the Planning Board consult with the Planning Board of the Village of Trumansburg, the Trumansburg Area ® Chamber of Commerce, the Tompkins County Planning Department, the Tompkins County Area Development Corporation and such other agencies and organiza- tion as may render advice and assistance. It is FURTHER RESOLVED: that the Town Board request that a pre- liminary report be made to it by the Planning Board on or before October 15, 1984 with regard to the subject of this Resolution. Adopted: Mr. Herrick Aye Mr. Agard Aye Mr. Vorp Aye Mrs. Duddleston Aye Mr. Luster Aye Before introducing the next resolution, Mr. Luster commented on the Jacksonville area water situation. There are a variety of problems. One, the seeping of gasoline into wells. As the earth shifts, so do the pockets of gasoline, polluting more wells. The bacteria content in many of the wells is high from near -by sewers. John Anderson of the Board of Health said if this water was public, it would be closed down. Also, on Cold Springs Road wells are being infested by run-off of fertilizer from area fields. John Anderson is preparing a written report on these problems. Mr. Luster introduced, seconded by Mr. Vorp the adoption of the following resolution: RESOLVED: WHEREAS, a number of homes located in the Jacksonville area have wells polluted by gasoline or bacteria, and WHEREAS, such pollution poses a health threat to the residents of said area and may cause economic hardship to said residents, and WHEREAS, establishment of a municipal water and sewer district in said area will alleviate said health hazards and economic hardship and will encourage commercial development within said area, BE IT RESOLVED: that the Supervisor be and he hereby is authorized to seek sources of funding to make a feasibility study for the establishment of a Jacksonville water and sewer district, provided however, that such authorization shall not consti- ® tute an appropriation nor authorization to expend Town funds or incur Town indebtedness for such purpose and it is FURTHER RESOLVED: that in the event an appropriate source of such funding is found, the Supervisor is authorized to apply for such funds, and if such grant or award is made, to proceed with such feasibility study. Adopted: Mr. Herrick Aye Mr. Agard Aye Mr. Vorp Aye Mrs. Duddleston Aye Mr. Luster Aye Mr. Luster has looked into the availability of monies for a feasibility study. Monies for feasibility studies are the hardest to come by. One source proved to be unsuccessful because the Ulysses Town Board 3-13-84 Page 4 Im residents of Jacksonville were not of low enough income. Monies for actual construction are easier to find. Before introducing the next resolution, Mr. Luster advised the Board of the increasing inquiries that Zoning Officer Ferretti has been receiving on Subdivisions. He read briefly regulations on subdivisions that were written up in 1959. Mr. Luster introduced, seconded by Mrs. Duddleston, the following resolution: BE IT RESOLVED: that for the purpose of providing future growth and development of the Town and affording adequate facilities for the housing, transporta- tion, distribution, comfort, convenience, safety, health and welfare of the population of the Town of Ulysses, the Ulysses Town Board, pursuant to ® Town Law Section 276, does hereby authorize and empower the Town Planning Board to promulgate Subdivision Regulations in accordance.with Town Law Section 277 and to approve plats, showing lots, blocks or sites, with or without streets or high- ways, and to approve preliminary plats within that part of the Town outside the limits of the Village of Trumansburg. A discussion followed after the second of the above mentioned resolution. The general concern of the Board was they would rather the Planning Board review the need of subdivisions, with the advise possibly of. the County Planning Board and other individuals. At this time the Board felt they did not want the Planning Board to have the sole power of establishing subdivisions. One concern was that the Planning Board members are appointed and not elected officials. Mr. Luster asked for the withdrawal of the second (2nd) to the • resolution. Mrs. Duddleston withdrew her second and the resolution was tabled at this time. Mr. Luster advised he would look into the Town Law Sections 271 and Section 276. Mrs. Georgia reported on fees collected for the month of February for a total of $950.54, of which $222.04 was turned over to the Supervisor along with her monthly report. (Report on file in the Supervisor's Office) Mrs. Mount, Receiver of Taxes reported total taxes collected to date of $344,624.23 against a total tax warrent of $552,377.61. $20,000.00 was turned over to the County for a total turned over now at $110,000.00. $156.32 turned over to the Supervisor in penalties collected for the month of February along with her monthly report. Mrs. Georgia reported that the following Legal Notices (copies attached) were published: 1) Finalizing O'Neil Business District 2) Finalizing Baldwin/Kline Planned Development District 3) Notice of Freshwater Wetlands 4) Supervisor's Annual Financial Report Correspondence received from: 1) Sam McNeil, Senator Riford, Gov. Cuomo, Frank Horton acknowledging receipt of the Town of Ulysses Resolution on the Cayuga Indian Land Claim. 2) Resolution #31 from Tompkins County Board of Representatives on Apportionment of Dog Monies. Mrs. Georgia reported on the turning over of thirty (30) names of dog owners to the SPCA for the issuing of summons for non -license, and also turning over of. fifty-eight (58) names for reminders to license. The matter of the Highway Superintendents files has been taken care of. Mrs. Georgia received prices from three firms comparing prices. Falcon Supply had the lowest price and the files have been ordered with a possible delivery date of April 9, 1984. U .yseD Town hoard 3-13-84 Page 5i Mrs. Georgia is now in receipt of the new Zoning Maps updated by T.G. Miller and Associates. She will have these reproduced for insertion in the Zoning Manual. James Meeker, Highway Superintendent, gave his report for February (Copy attached). lie said they had some culvert problems on the lower side of Taughannock which were taken care of. He reported a total of 76 hours of over -time for his men for last month. Jim had talked with the County regarding the cinders. Because of the length of time we've had this pile of cinders it would be hard to determine the cost to charge the County when they are used. (New Spreader box allows the use of cinders and/or sand.) The County ® advised Jim to purchase sand for County roads that the Town services, and use the cinders only on Town roads. Mr. Meeker asked if it would be possible to purchase some tools for • the shop. He is doing more maintenance on vehicles and the tools in the shop need to be updated. Mr. Luster commented that this area had been under budgeted for a long time and that Jim should put together a request for next years budget. Mr. Herrick stated that if there was a real need now he would be in favor of supple- menting this years budget. Mr. Luster advised Mr. Meeker on a letter he had received from a resident praising him on the quick response to a call on high water. Mr. Meeker asked if. the Board would write a letter to a resident on the Durling Road who has been parking on the road and causing much difficulty when they have had to plow snow and that it could be a hazard. Due to the absence of Zoning Officer Ferretti there was no Zoning Report. Mr. Herrick reported he had gone out to Durling Road with Highway Superintendent Meeker and observed the vehicle problem. Mr. Agard praised the Highway Superintendent and his crew for their excellent job on the roads. Mr. Luster seconded the praise. Mr. Vorp acknowledged receipt of the Annual Report from the Ulysses Youth Unlimited (Copy attached) and read same. Copies are available for the public in the Clerk's Office. At 9:10 P.M. Mr. Vorp moved to adjourn the meeting. With no objections, Mr. Luster adjourned. Marsha L. Georgia Ulysses OKs hiring Town Clerk a building inspector., TRUMANSBURG — Ulysses town MG/pm councilmen approved a six-month experimental hiring of a building inspector, one that will he shared with the Town of Ithaca, following •N passage of a local law Tuesday night. . The hiring will enable the towns to have local control In regards to compliance with the state's new fire prevention and building code, ac- cording to Ulysses town supervisor Marty Luster.' Ulysses will advertise for a fire Inspector, who will examine mul- tiple dwellings within the township to make sure those buildings comply with the new code. The building Inspector will also. make sure new buldings and additions comply with the new code. Generally, he will he based in the Town of Ithaca. "We've had a lot of concerns regarding the new law," said Luster. "There aren't that many multiple dwellings in the township... except for a few in the village of Trumanshurg."

Town supervisor Martin Luster proposed all three resolutions. A fourth, concerning subdivision regu- lations within the town, was tabled for further study after Luster had recommended its passage. The first resolution authorized a public hearing on March 27 to hear comment on the township's possible policing of the new state fire preven- tion and building code within the • town. It was at first thought that the • state would administer the new code. Now it appears that the town- ship will be the regulating body for the new law, According to Luster, it's possible that the Town of Ithaca might take over the regulatory function for Ulysses and some other towns within Tompkins County on a con- tractual basis, but as yet nothing has been decided. A second resolution authorized the Ulysses planning board to "review • the economic conditions of the town" and to report back to the town board by Oct. 15. It is expected that the planning board will make rec- ommendations to improve the eco- nomic climate and commercial ac- livity of the town, Luster said. "Initially, this would he a fishing expedition by the planning board, and if the response is positive, then the planning hoard could make further recommendations to the town board." Luster said. A third resolution authorized Luster to seek grant money which might fund a feasibility study for the establishment of a water and sewer district for the Jacksonville area. "This study would not cost the town anything. There are a variety of water and sewer problems in the Jacksonville area," Luster said. lie cited a gas leakage problem which was polluting some water wells in the area. The gas *remains from a service station which was closed years ago. Luster said. Also, there is a bacteriological problem in many wells ,which would close public sources of water," Luster said. On Cold Spring Road. there is a fertilizer pollution problem; fertilizer is seeping into some of the water wells of residences. Luster said lie had been advised by the Tompkins County Health De- partment that these problems exist. Finding grant money for this type of study has so far been difficult, Luster added. 281 I I JACKSONVILLE UNDER BOARD SCRUTINY as a separate Water L Sower District by Alice Larsen TRUMANSBURG• Ulysses Board me' 'ben approved a resolution on March 13th authorizing Supervisor Martin Lus' to seek funding for a feasibility study on the establishment of a Jacksonvill y'ater & Sewer District "Many of you are aware that there exists in the Jaclsonville area a variety of water and sewer problems," Luster stated. "Five yearsago gasoline was baking into several wells. I recently learned that has in the rock•strata has moved and is flowing in another direction, allecling one well and threatening others." Health Dept. reports indicate extensive bacterial contamination in Jacksonville water, according to luster. The problem is serious enough that an equal level of contamination in a city water system would force it to be closed down. Gas and bacteria are not the only problems: Tests done on Cold Spring Road indicate an inliliration of nitrates into the ground water. This contamination too, is of a degree that would force the closingof a minicipalwater system. Many Jacksonville residents have been forced to buy bottled water for drinking. Luster indicated that at this point, the Town was not requited to expend funds. However, he asked for the Board's authetization to seek funding for a feasibility study. It was determined that such funds are not readily available. "The people in Jacksonville are not poor enough; Luster sa id. "Their. income is lower tha n the Townwide income, but not low enough for a Community Block Grant" He felt that once a feasibility study was done, finances for engineering plans would be easier to find. Although the resolution approved by the Board did not authorize the expenditure of any Town funds, it authorized the Supervisor to proceed with the feasibility study one grants or awards are secured. Other Action: The Board resolved to establish Local taw g I of 1984 repealing Local Law #2 of 1983. The effect of the action would recapture local control of the Fire and Building Code Ordinance which was mandated by the State to become effective on January 1, 1984. Supervisor Luster introduced a resolution which would have authodmll the. Ulysses Planning Board to establish Subdivision regulations within the Town (outside the limits of the Village of Trumansburd. According to Luster. Zones t Officer Thomas Ferretti received more than the usual number of Inquides5 regarding subdivision this year. 1959 was the last time a Subdivision study was done. Luster fell there was a need to establish standards for new growth patterns in order to protect the existing community. as the Township. Who, in fact would be ultimately responsibler tusterresponded that according to the way the lawns wtitfen, he felt the PlanniagBoard would have the authority to establish Ldbdivislen regulations. "I'm not sure I'm ready to do this without clarifying the positon of the Planning Board," Herrick said. "This has been hanging on since JY59: Maybe there's a reason. The Community may not be ready for more regulatmns" lames Vorp agreed with Herrick and Mason's assessment Luster subsequentlyagreed to withdraw his resolution pending further study. the has sanctioned a Class Chamber of Commi Chamber will sponsor a between 5 & 15).

Because more programs are competing for fewer local and state funds, 1984 will be a critical year for U.Y.U. Already we have secured grants or pie of support from the N.Y. State Division for Youth, Presbytery of Geneva, Ulysses Comm mity Council, the Town of Ulysses, Village of Trumansburg, and some community churche groups, and individuals to support our financial needs for 1984. However, a substant budget deficit still needs to be raised by the U.Y.U. Board of Directors and youth. Besides financial needs for 1984, U.Y.U. needs adults to volunteer their skills and time as organizers, workers, and thinkers. Some volunteer possibilities include people interested in advertising for fund-raising events, public relptions to address groups about adolescent needs, or transportation to and from special events. It is -evident from the annual spaghetti dinner that youth and adult volunteers have success fully worked together to raise money for the continuation of the program. With additional financial support and volunteers from the community, U.X.U. will be able to continue its 10 years of service to the area youth in 1984. For informati about the program, please contact Dan Watson at 387-5235 or me at 387-5218. Sincerely, Mrs. Carol Muraca President, Ulysses Youth Unlimited, Inc.

PRESENT AT HEARING. Zoning Board members Merle Stillions, chairman, Adrienne VanDyk, William Weitzel, Joseph Farrell, and secretary A. Beers. Absents Ferneley Bauchle. Also presents applicant Keith LeGrand, Town Attorney Elizabeth Bixler, Town Zoning Officer Thomas Ferretti, Herbert Haight, Norman Culver, Beach Stover, Catherine Stover, William Agard, Arles Robinson, Andrew Mazzella, Mr. Stillions called hearing to order at 7305 p.m. in the Town Hall, and asked the secretary to take a roll call of members. Then he asked Mr. LeGrand to give a history of the application for the use variance and the building permit and the legal action involved with the permit application. Mr. LeGrand said they had planned to renovate and enlarge the Inn and last year hired an architect to draw up the plans. He said they needed rest rooms for customers on the main floor (heretofore only rest rooms available to the public were up a long flight of stairs) and during the renovation also discovered certain portions of the building were deteriorating. He said they also had obtained permits from the State Liquor Commission and the County Health Department, the latter relative to the ceptic system for the added rest rooms and kitchen renovation. Mr. LeGrand said he believed the architect was taking care of the building permit and investigating compliance with the Zoning Ordinance. It was after he had contact with Mr. Ferretti that he learned nothing had been done, and he proceeded to contact the architect for drawings and plans to accompany the permit and variance requests. In the meantime he received the legal notice relative to the Ordinance violation. He said they had in no way intentionally tried to subvert the Zoning Ordinance. The neighbors all seem to approve the renovations and expansion of the structure; those present at the hearing all agreed to this approval. Mr. LeGrand also said he assumed the building contractor might have requested a building permit as is sometimes done. In answer to Mrs. VanDyk's question Mr. LeGrand said they had started the exterior extensions last November (1983)e When asked if he had stopped all construction when notified of being out of compliance with the Zoning Ordinance, Mr. LeGrand said "no" - they were trying to meet a tight schedule for reopening the Inn just before Easter, that carpet laying and other interior work had to be completed. The Board then retired for executive session. Returning to the hearing Mr. Stillions moved the following resolutions WHEREAS: Nancy and Keith LeGrand, dba Taughannock Farms Inn, have asked for a use variance under Article VII, Section 3, of the Town of Ulysses Zoning Ordinance, and WHEREAS: Taughannock Farms Inn is a non -conforming use structure as defined by the Town Zoning Ordinance and as such cannot be altered or extended except as authorized by the Zoning Board of Appeals, THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED. that the Town of Ulysses Zoning Board of Appeals • approve the renovation of the Taughannock Farms Inn structure both for the interior alterations and the exterior extension of the building. Mr. Weitzel seconded the motion. Voting was as follows: Mrs. VanDyk yes Mr. Farrell yes Mr. Weitzel yes Mr. Stillions yes Motion carried, resolution adopted. The applicants will be notified officially of this xd action by copy of these minutes. qq A. H.

Minutes Submitted By, CC: Clerks File Richard Backer Planning Board Town Board Town Attorney ULYSSES TOWN BOARD APRIL 10, 1984 Minutes of the Regular Monthly Meeting of the Town Board of the Town of Ulysses held April 10, 1984 at the Town Hall commencing at 8:00 PM. Present: Martin Luster, Supervisor James Vorp, Councilman Carolyn Duddleston, Councilwoman Marsha Georgia, Recording Secretary, Town Clerk Elizabeth Bixler, Town Attorney Jeanne Vanderbilt, Bookkeeper to Supervisor Absent: Robert Herrick, Councilman William Agard, Councilman Others Present: James Meeker, Highway Superintendent; James Mason, Tompkins County Representative; Alice Larson, Penneysaver; Frank Liquori, Tompkins County Planning Commissioner; Thomas Ferretti, Zoning Officer; Richard Owlett, Chamber of Commerce; Tom Reitz; Dennis Rodabaugh; Trumansburg Village Trustee; Justice Richard Montgomery; Mitzy Montgomery; Lewis Murphy; Don Oliver; Gerry Spiech, Freepress; Stan Koskinen; Richard Durling, Trumansburg Fire Department; Catherine Stover. The meeting was called to order by Martin Luster, Supervisor, who then led those assembled in the Pledge of Allegiance to the flag of the United States of America. Mr Luster took this time to express his and the Boards sympathy and condolences to Councilman William Agard and family for their recent loss of Marian Agard. The minutes for the March Regular Meeting and the Public Hearing, being typed and distributed to the Board members, were approved. Frank Liquori of the Tompkins County Planning Board reported to the Board on the progress of TomTran, or rural and suburban transportation system, to service Trumansburg/Ulysses area. There have been problems getting it started. They have been in need of individuals to make capital investments to start, "Now we feel we've found such indivi- duals" said Liquori. He suggested possibly some local subsidy from the Town and Village. He also suggested a petition for the necessary State permit to operate system over Route 96. The County would be glad to help with the format of such petition. It is unknown at this time Greyhounds position, as they hold the State franchise for Route 96. "We need more than the service Greyhound provides" responded Liquori. The system would start out with two (2) buses each holding twenty (20) to twenty-five (25) passengers with standing room for ten (10). It would service Route 96, detouring into more populated areas, with possible future runs to Taughannock Park. The anticipated fare is $1.00 to $1.50 from Trumansburg to Ithaca, with special rates for Senior Citizens and the handicapped. Also a possible discount for regular users and youths. The bus will also make flag stops. Mr. Liquori said: "What can we do you ask?" Consider local sub- • sidizing to help fund the system until ridership is established; petition for necessary permit; let them know of possible facility to house 2 medium size vehicles, so equipment "When will it start?" September 1984, unless is kept under cover. we have trouble with State permit or capital to buy buses. Dennis Rodabaugh, Trustee, Village of Trumansburg, commented "This is the first time he had heard of any monies being asked for." Liquori replied, "Not asking, but just suggesting, other communities are subsidizing system." Mr. Vorp asked, "How much money?" Liquori responded it could be in terms of services such as a facility to house two (2) medium size buses to keep equipment under cover. Mr. Luster asked if they knew what the anticipated use may be. Ulysses Town Board 4-10-84 Page 2 Mr. Liguori said they had done a survey earlier and had 306 responses. 204 would ride 4 to 5 times daily - 132 primarily to go to downtown Ithaca; 46 ride to Cornell - 15 to the Hospital. The total returned on survey suggested it would be enough to support the system in Trumansburg and Newfield. Mr. Oliver asked, "How many runs?" Liquori's response "Every hour on the hour between 7-9 until 10. One at midday, and 2-3 runs for returning from work. Also possible connections for students at TC3': Mr. Reitz asked if any industries had been approached for funding. They hadn't. Mr. Reitz asked Mr. Liguori to enlighten us on the "Octopus" plans. Mr. Liguori said plans are set and would be released this summer and published late in the fall, possibly in December. There are two phases. A new outbound lane beginning in the vicinity of Esty Street ® and terminating at the Hospital. Two lanes would come back down to Buffalo with a new bridge. Meadow Street would be one-way North and Fulton Street one-way South. There would be parking along Meadow Street. New York State doesn't have enough funding for both phases. It will probably be ten (10) years before the Buffalo Street bridge. The other construction could start in 1987 and be completed in two (2) years. The State would like to start purchasing land now for Phase 2 but because of disinterested parties this may not take place. The City of Ithaca has the only veto power on this project, so therefore if the City refuses to accept plans the project is dead and would be shelved by the State until their approval. James Mason, Tompkins County Representative reported to the Board on the negotiations of the County and Sheriffs Department on their contract. Jim said they were at a stalemate. The key factor is the salary. It is at the point now that they need a mediator. The County is asking for a three (3) year contract, Sheriffs Department want a two (2) year, the County wants 21'.5% raise spread over three years and they want 21% over two years. A Fact Finder will look into contract and issue report. Mr. Mason reviewed the plans for reapportionment in Tompkins County. In 1980 census figures showed a need to do some juggling of district boundries due to a 65% deviation in population. A Court Order is now in effect mandating a weighted voting plan, "It's not all that bad" said Mason. Ulysses is the "light weight" with just over 46 hundred people represented. 5806 is a population balance. The Courts will allow a 21% deviation. To solve this difference Enfield would be split. Route 79 has been decided as a good dividing point, moving all of Route 79 (both sides) into the Town of Ulysses. (Mr. Mason showed maps with the dividing points clearly marked.) Problem - "Enfield doesn't want to be split." and they've passed a resolution stating so. "The Reapportionment Committee has worked a long time on this project and many maps have been drawn up and looked at" said Mason. "We have placed it on hold for now so that Town of Ulysses and Town of Enfield can take one last look at pro- posal." The County Board can impose its' proposal despite the objections. Therefore weighted court mandated voting stays in effect until reapportionment system is settled. Mr. Durling of the Trumansburg Fire Department reported on the activities for the month of March (report attached). The Department • has a new Chief, Mark Vann, and assistant Paul Harrington. Jack Fulton served as Chief for seven (7) years. Mr. Luster advised Mr. Durling of the voucher for Fire Protection of $29,100.00 had been approved and the check would be forthcoming. Mr. Vorp moved, seconded by Mrs. Duddleston that a letter of Thanks be sent to Jack Fulton for his services as Fire Chief for the past seven years. Mr. Durling reminded the Supervisor and Board members of the upcoming banquet the 21st. Stanley Koskinen of Podunk Road wished to express his desire for a proposed planned development district, which would be located on Parcel #22-5-4. Mr. Koskinen read his proposal. Anticipated use of development would be for an auto repair, body shop and retail sales. Mr. Luster stated that it would have to be submitted to the Planning Ulysses Town Board 4-10-84 Page 3 al, Board and that he would take care of this. The Town Board would wait for their recommendation. Mrs. Duddleston moved, seconded by Mr. Vorp the acceptance of the claims for April: General Fund Nos. 71-111 $ 4,179.62 Highway Fund Nos. 43-62 10,429.35 Part Town Nos. 7 22.30 Fire Protection 1 29,100.00 Unanimously carried. The Supervisor Monthly Financial Report was distributed to the Board along with a detailed quarterly report. e JeannVanderbilt, Bookkeeper to the Supervisor reported on how she had compiled the Budget as of 3/31/84 to show the first quarter • activity, what had been expended or received to date and the per cent available. Mr. Luster commented, "this report will aid the Board in determining the needs in the up -coming months, unexpended monies could be more wisely invested." Mr. Vorp commended Jeanne on the report and how helpful it would be; "I'm glad you spent the time and effort to produce it." Elizabeth Bixler, Town Attorney reported on the purchase of the Vesa property. She had been in contact with Mr. Hickey, Mr. Vesa's attorney and answered some questions he had. Closing should be within two (2) weeks. The deed for the Dunn purchase had been signed and sent to Mr. Dunn. Receipt of $100.00 to the Town would finalize. Elizabeth prepared an ordinance on parked cars, to be reviewed at a later meeting. Mr. Luster reviewed Local Law #1 1984 and the Public Hearing on the adoption of this law. Mrs. Duddleston moved, seconded by Mr. Vorp the adoption of the following resolution: RESOLVED: Local Law #1 1984 BE IT ENACTED BY THE TOWN BOARD OF THE TOWN OF ULYSSES, COUNTY OF TOMPKINS AND STATE OF NEW YORK AS FOLLOWS: 1. The title of this local law is "A Local Law Repealing Local Law #2 of 1983". 2. Local Law #2 of 1983 of the Town of Ulysses is hereby repealed. 3. On and after the effective date of this local law, the Town of Ulysses shall enforce the New York State Uniform Fire Prevention and Building Code within its jurisdiction. 4. This local law shall take effect upon its filing with the Secretary of State. James Mason commented that the County level is taking a look at enforcement of the Code. He feels there is not substantial support there to enforce and feels the public would be better served if the Code was enforced at Town level. Mr. Luster asked the Clerk for a roll call vote. Mrs. Georgia called roll for vote: Mrs. Duddleston Aye Mr. Vorp Aye S Mr. Agard Absent Mr. Herrick Absent. Mr. Luster Aye Adopted Mr. Luster reported on a joint meeting with the Ithaca Town Board and moved for the adoption of the following resolution, seconded by Mr. Vorp: RESOLVED: that the Supervisor be authorized to execute a contract with the Town of Ithaca for the joint enforcement of the building construction provisions of the N.Y.S. Uniform Fire Prevention and Building Code within the Town Of Ulysses as follows: Ulysses Town Board 4-10-A4 Page 4 a.) The Town of Ithaca shall furnish a qualified inspector to approve plans, inspect construction and authorize issuance of certificates of compliance. b.) Applicants shall pay to or for the benefit of the Town of Ithaca fees of $50.00 - for renovations, alterations and additions and $100.00 for new construction. c.) The Town of Ulysses shall maintain and issue all permits, records and files. d.) The Town of Ulysses shall insure the inspector against claims for errors and omissions. e.) The contract shall be for a six month trial period and may be terminated prior to such ®time by either town upon 30 days prior notice. f.) The inspector shall have regular office hours within the Town of Ulysses. FURTHER RESOLVED: that the Supervisor may execute such a contract that conforms to the for -going general principals, the precise language and terms to be finalized without further Board action. Adopted: Mr. Luster Aye Mrs. Duddleston Aye Mr. Vorp Aye A meeting April 21, 1984 at 9:30 A.M. has been arranged to meet with Lou Carte from the Town of Ithaca, who will be Ulysses Building Inspector. Mr. Reitz asked how Ulysses fees compared to Town of Ithaca. Mr. Luster responded that our fee is higher. State aid may lower fees. Reitz also mentioned renovations of farm buildings being exempt. Mr. Luster remarked on the need of a Fire and Housing Maintenance Inspector. "A few people have applied." We will advertise the position and report at the next meeting. A memorandum (attached) received from James V. Buyoucos, Attorney for Town of Ithaca was received by Mr. Luster expressing his concern for adequate insurance coverage and that the Town Board of Ulysses would provide defense for Mr. Carte in any action or provide funds to enable him to defend himself in any lawsuit. In order to enable Town Boards to provide this defense, a resolution has to be adopted. Mr. Luster stressed the importance of this resolution not only for Mr. Carte, but for any of Ulysses officers, employees, agents, members of the Town Board or other Boards, etc. Mrs. Stover asked if appointed persons such as ZBA members would be covered. Mr. Luster replied yes. Mr. Vorp thought this was possibly already in force. Mrs. Duddleston (past Clerk) could not recall seeing a prior resolution. "No harm done if it has been done before", replied Mr. Luster and introduced the following resolution, seconded by Mr. Vorp: • RESOLVED: that the Town of Ulysses shall defend, indemnify and hold harmless its employees for acts or omissions while acting within the scope of their public employment as such terms and benefits are defined and described in Section 18 of the Public Officers Law.

Monthly report of Paula Mount has also been filed with the Supervisor reporting a total of tax penalties collected of $292.22. Mrs. Georgia reported on the seminar attended by herself and Mrs. Mount on Dog Control„ held in Utica, at which they picked up a couple of ideas to advise the public on better Dog Control. All in all they found their office to be doing a efficient job for what the State requires. James Meeker reported on the months activities for the Highway De- ® partment (report attached). James made mention of being short a truck due to mechanical difficulties, during our last Large Snow, and hoped noone felt like they had been slighted. He had called the men out at 4 A.M. Thursday and they worked around the clock until Friday at 7 P.M.. Mr. Luster commended James and his crew not only from himself but from all the calls he had received, on the excellent job during the last storm. Mr. Meeker announded Spring Clean -Up would be May 5th through May 13th. Zoning Officer Ferretti gave his report on Zoning activities (report attached). Mr. Luster is looking into Summer Youth Employment Programs. Last year we participated in two programs, one that we subsidized and one directly and fully funded by the County. Don Oliver asked "Are the issued Zoning Permits being published now?" Response - that they had not been as yet, but would be in the near future. Mrs. Duddleston moved, seconded by Mr. Vorp to adjourn the meeting. Voted and unanimously carried, the meeting was adjourned at 9:52 P.M. Marsha L.

NEW YORK 14851.6556 MEMORANDUM TOWN BOARD, TOWN OF ULYSSES (copy for Town Attorney) JAMES V. BUYOUCOS, ESQ. April 10, 1984 An. Coca 607 Pnona 273.6641 In the Matter of the Employment of the Town of Ithaca Building Inspector by the Town of Ulysses 1. If I heard correctly last night at the joint meeting with the Town Board of the Town of Ithaca, I understand that you are having a meeting this evening at which you may discuss the above subject matter. 2. I wish to confirm the statements I made last night at the meeting of your representatives with the Ithaca Town Board and also to confirm the concern which Mr. Cartee expressed. Mr. Cartee wants assurances (and so does the Ithaca Town Board) that there will be adequate insurance coverage and that the Town Board of Ulysses will provide defense for Mr. Cartee in any action or provide funds to enable Mr. Cartee to defend himself in any lawsuit. As I interpret the law, it has been determined that a Town Board may not expend public funds to provide legal defense for its officers, employees, agents, members of the Town Board or other Boards, etc., unless it has adopted a resolution or a local law to do so. In order to enable Town Boards to pro- vide this defense, the New York State Legislature has enacted enabling legislation (public office law #18). That section sets forth criteria many of which appear to be mandatory. 3. I make the above suggestion because I assume that any Town Board would want to be able to defend and protect Town Board members, officers, employees, etc., from the expense and risks of the lawsuits, which can be heavy and, at times, disast- rous. 4. I request that you consider this suggestion. I would be very happy to work with your Town Attorney. If I do not under- stand the law correctly, I will be glad to accommodate to any correct interpretation of the law. JAMES V.

Blvd. , Ithaca,NY 14850 To appear in the Ithaca Journal •, on March 30. 1984 TOWN OF ULYSSES l ZONING BOARD OF APPEALS PUBLIC HEARING 12 April 1984 PURPOSE OF HEARING: to consider application of Donald J. Schork of 1527 Taughanno Boulevard, Ithaca, Now York, for an area variance for a fence under Article II, Sections 6 and 7, of the Town of Ulyssses Zoning Ordinance. Present at Hearings Zoning Appeals Board uemberss Merle Stillions, chairman, Adrienne VanDyk, William Weitzel, A. Beers, secretary; absents Ferneley Bauchle, Joseph Farrell. Also presents Applicant Donald Schork and his attorney, George Pfann. Mr. Stillions called hearing to order at 7 p.m. in the Town Hall and asked the secretary to take roll call. He then asked Mr. Schork to state his reasons for the variance. request. 5a'1 Mr. Schork, his house is approximately 40 feet from the edge of the highway (Route 89); he purchased the house a few years ago. He found the noise from the traffic (cars, motorcycles, etc.) especially during the summer months,distressing; the headlights from the cars shining into his windows, and the ability of motorists, joggers, etc., to look into the windows of his house an invasion of his privacy. The only way he could see to take care of the problem was to build a fence. He had considered the possibility of a screen of trees but found this would not solve the matter. Mr. Schork said he spoke to his neighbors about the fence prior to its construction. (Listing of signature to this effect is attached to variance application.) He decided on a fence with shingle covering, and in order to keep the shingles running strait it was necessary to make it approximately 6 feet 4 inches high at one and and gradually taper it down to six feet at the other end. This variation in height was created by the terrian. He said he has since place dirt fill along the fence which brings it down to the apporximate height of 6 feet which is permitted by the Zoning Ordinance, and is landscaping the front by planting grass. Mr. Schork said he started the ferm and did not realize at the time a building permit was required for the construction of a fence over 6 feet high and that the contractor who did the work did not advise him such a permit was necessary. When asked by Mrs. VanDyk about the closeness of the fence to the highway, Mr. Schork said he had checked with the County and the State Highway Departments and neither found any objection to the fence being place that close ( approximately 15 feet) to the roadway. The fence was finished prior to the application for a building permit. When asked about access of fire fighting equipment to the property the Board was advised that would not be a problem. The Board then retired for an executive session. Returning to the hearing Mr. Stillions requested the secretary to read the following resolution which he moved for adoption. WHEREAS: Mr. Donald J. Schork has requested an area variance under Article II, sections 6 and 7, of the Town of Ulysses Zoning Ordinance for the construction of an over -height fence in front of his home, and WHEREAS: the fence will in no way increase the population density in the area, nor will it make a substantial change in the character of the neighborhood or a substantial detriment to adjoining properties, and WHEREAS: the plight of the owner is due to the unique terrain involved and the difficulty cannot be obviated by any other reasonable method, THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED: that the variance request be approved. Mr. Weitzel seconded the motion. • Voting as follows: Mrs. VanDyk approve Mr. Weitzel approve Mr. Stillions approve Motion carried and variance approved. Mr. Schork will be advised officially of the Board's action by copy of these minutes. �� -, Aileen H (Beers sec. cc: Board members Applicant Town Attorney Official Board files of the Town OLZ ULYSSES TOWN BOARD SPECIAL MEETING APRIL 28th, 1984 THE SPECIAL MEETING of the Ulysses Town Board was called to order at 9:00 a.m. by the Supervisor Martin Luster. Others present were; Councimen Robert Herrick,James Vorp, William Agard and Carolyn Duddleston. Also present was Arlee Robinson and Richard Backer. Mr. Luster read a letter addressed to Marsha Georgia, Town Clerk and himself. The letter was from Thomas Ferretti stating his resignation as Zoning Officer. Mr. Luster asked Mr. Backer what his feelings are as serving as Zoning Officer. Mr. Backer replied that he would need help in the form of a deputy officer and from the board as he did not feel he is that knowledgeable on the zoning ordinance. He feels that the zoning ordiance as it stands needs changes in several weak areas if the town wants more coverage and stricter enforcement. Mr. Backer proposed that a board be made up of a couple of members of the Town Board, Planning Board, ZBA, and the Zoning Officer. This board would put together a new ordinance to be presented to the Town Board for consideration. Mr. Backer then asked what the hourly rate is for Zoning Officer. Mr. Luster replied that the rate is $6.50 Mr. Luster also stated that the primary concern is that the building season is upon us and Zoning Permits need to be issued. Mr. Vorp requested that the Zoning Officer attend the Town Board meetings and report on permits etc. in the future. Mr. Backer stated that he would accept the position of Zoning Officer on a tempory basis as he is not sure at this time about another job. He also agreed with Mr. Vorp on attending meetings. Mr. Luster asked for a motion to appoint Mr. Backer as Zoning Officer. Mr. Agard moved, seconded by Mr. Herrick that the Ulysses Town Board appoint Mr. Backer as Zoning Officer, effective immediately. Voted and unanimously carried. Mr. Backer asked Mr. Luster what the law states on being a member of the Planning Board and the Zoning Officer. Mr. Luster replied that you can't be an advisor to the board (zoning officer) and a member of the board at the same time. Mr. Luser's wish is for Mr. Backer to resign from the Planning Board. Mr. Backer asked for a job description. As the town does not have one it was decided that the description the county uses would be sufficent. Also discussed were the TV disc and whether or not the ordiance covers them. Mr. Herrick requested that the town attorney be contacted for her opinion. All agreed that an ad in the local newspapers would be a good idea to let the public know just what the ordinance does cover. •Frontage and land locked areas was also discussed. Mr. Backer asked what his hours would be and suggested that he have a few evening hours so that the public could contact him easier. At 9:50 a.m. Mr. Vorp moved, seconded by Mr. Herrick that the meeting be adjourned. Voted and unanimously carried.

Present at meeting: Chairman Roland Reynolds, Seville Reulein, H. William Smith, Bud Stover Robert Bauchle, Richard Backer; absent Robert Weatherby. Guest: A. Beers. Mr. Reynolds called meeting to order at 7:30 p.m. in Town Hall, roll call taken, and minutes of the April 4, 1984, meeting approved. Mr. Reynolds then asked Mr. Koskinen to explain further reasons for the request for a Planned Development District. As stated in his request, Mr. Koskinen said he wished to use the one structure indicated on the map, attached, a5 an automotive repair and body shop. Structure measures approximately 54x48 feet, but that the shop would actually repair farm and other machinery brought in as well as automotive. He indicated that would probably be more body repair than mechanical repair, that his son would manage the operation and at present he did not know how many persons might be employed to work in the facility. When asked if there would be any dis-assembled vehicles standing around outside the facility premises he said "no" and advised he would not be in the junk yard business. Area of the land requested in the Planned Development District is approximately 4.5 acres. Mr. Koskinen said he had not contacted any of his neighbors as to whether or not they would approve the automotive repair and body show establishment. Mr. Reulein asked him about disposal of waste oil andthe board was advised that waste oil is used to heat the building at present. He also said the present structure is adquate in size for the proposed operation and that no exterior modifications in the structure would be required. He also said the structure is obsolete for agricultural use. Mr. Backer asked if he had considered asking the Town Zoning Board of Appeals for a variance and was told the Zoning Officer had advised against that action. The Board was told there was ample parking space available. One main question considered was the distance of residential dwellings from the proposed repair and body shop. The closest said structures are those belonging to Mr. Koskinen in which he and his wife live and the one in which his son, resides. The Town Zoning Ordinance Art. VI, sec. 5a, establishes a distance of 300 feet minimum between a public garage operation and a residence area (district). The Board members also expressed concern over the lack of a 50 -ft set -back from the road right-of-way as required by the Zoning Ordinance for non -farm structures. It was suggested Mr. Koskinen might include the residences in the Planned Development District, but in the meantime the Board will ask the Town Attorney, Elizabeth Bixler, for an interpre- tation of the Zoning Ordinance to determine if the fact the closest dwellings belong to Mr. Koskinen would obviate the necessity for consideration of that portion of the Ordinance. Mr. Koskinen is to present to the Board an expanded and more detailed plot plan of the requested District at a meeting set for 10 May 1984, 8 p.m. ,in the Town Hall.

Beers, secretary; absents Adrienne VanDyk(who submitted her opinion and vote in writing), and Joseph Farrell.

Mrs. Beers too roll call. Mr. Stillions then asked Mr. Alexander to elaborate on the reasons given 'for the area variance request. Referring to the map showing the location of the residence and the site of the proposed garage, Mr. Alexander said the terrain is such that to move the proposed garage structure further to the rear of the property would require raising the .Foundation to a considerable extent and expense to eliminate water run-off following a rain to sweep through the garage The drive way now in existance abuts the property line (property owned by Maria Steve) but the proposed garage would be angled off the drive putting the structure approximately 22 feet from the property line. Trees in the front of the property screen the house and would screen the proposed garage to some extent. The Board retired for an executive session. Returning to the hearing Mr. Stillions moved the following resolution be adopted: WHEREAS: Kenyon and Bonnie Alexander have applied for an area variance for a garage structure on their property at 131 Cold Springs Road under Article II, sec 6, and-ARticle V, sec. lw, of the Town of Ulysses Zoning Ordinance, and WHEREAS: granting the variance would not increase the population density in the neighborhoods would not impinge on the use of fire protection or other governmental facilities; would not make a substantial change in the character of the neighborhood; nor be a substantial detriment to adjoining properties, and WHEREAS: land terrian limits the structure placement at a reasonable cost to the applicants, THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED: in the interest of the service of justice tje variance request be approved. Mrs. Bauchle seconded the motion. Voting as follows: Mr. Stillions - approve Mrs. flauchie - approve Mr. Weitzel - approve Mrs. VanDyk - disapprove Motion carried and resolution passed.

Present: Martin Luster, Supervisor Robert Herrick, Councilman James Vorp, Councilman Carolyn Duddleston, Councilwoman Marsha Georgia, Town Clerk, Recording Secretary Absent: William Agard, Councilman Others Present: Ray McElwee, Tom Reitz The meeting was called to order by Mr. Luster,Supervisor. The purpose of this Special Meeting is to discuss the different areas to be explored for the possible Grant funding of the proposed Jacksonville Water Project. Mr. Luster outlined the changes to the HUD Small Cities Program. He explained there is increased money because of the combining of the 83-84 Small Cities Grants, with a Grant ceiling of $750,000.00 for single purpose applicants. The most important change, and maybe the hardest for us to conform to, is that the principal beneficiaries of the Grant have to be low/moderate income persons. Fifty-one percent have to be in this range before an application will even be considered. Mr. Luster stated that by using the 1980 census we missed by a long shot to qualify. He decided to do a house to house income survey, because of the more liberal guidelines we have a better change to compete for the funds. Tom Reitz of the Jacksonville Community Association took charge of distributing the survey forms and asked residents to have them re- turned by July 9th to see if Jacksonville district can qualify in the 51% range. Mr. Luster is also waiting for a formal report from the Board of Health on a detailed survey reporting the impurities in the area well waters. Mr. Luster introduced Ray McElwee, who was representing Alpha House. Alpha House also has a water problem and have been exploring many avenues to remedy their situation. Mr. Luster explained to the Board it could be possible to combine Jacksonville and Alpha House in a single application. The positive aspects of the combination; the income of the Alpha House residents would qualify our application because all residents fall in the low/ moderate income Combining applications still qualify us as a single purpose with $750,000.00 available. Also by using Alpha House to qualify, the (Alpha House) may be willing to fund an engineering study for feasibity of Water District. The problem is a full grant of $750,000.00 is not enough to do both • projects. Although it is possible to match HUD money of $750,000.00 with moneis from the Appalachin Regional program. One of Alpha Houses' studies show a cost of $200,000.00 to run an 8" main from the existing Village water supply to Alpha House, approximately one mile. Mr. Vorp asked Mr. McElwee if funding was provided for engineering studies and it proved not to be feasible, would Alpha House expect money returned? Mr. McElwee responded that it wouldn't, because these studies would be needed anyway. The negative side of using Alpha House for qualifying for Grant is the $200,000.00 to go for one user, at roughly a cost of $4,000.00 per resident. The Board Members were concerned about this. Ulysses Town Board 7/5/84 Page 2 Mr..fierrick commented that he would like to be assured that Alpha Houses' water could not be treated before giving money for water. Mr. McElwee responded that they had looked into many systems and are still investigating others. All studies so far prove to be very expensive and wasteful of water. The most cost effective is for public water. Tom Reitz was asked how the Jacksonville survey was progressing. Tom felt that 90% of the residents are in favor of public water. Mr. Luster outlined the area the survey covered, which is Route 96 from Andre property to Cold Springs Road and Cold Springs to Podunk (because of Babcocks) Swamp College to Halseyville Road, Jacksonville Road from Kraft Road to McKeel Road and Colegrove Road down to Town Barns, approximately 135 residents. Mr. Luster said this was a rough sketch used for application purposes. No formal boundries have been set. This survey didn't include coming up from the Lake or a Pump Station. What would be the user fees after installation? Which area would be developed first - Alpha House or Jacksonville? Would water come direct from lake, or would we hook on to Trumansburg Village system or Ithaca's system? Could we get any monies from Mobile Corporation for creating some of Jacksonvilles problems? Many questions had no answers yet. Mr. Luster said no action should be taken, but the Board should do some thinking on the matter and be ready to respond at the Regular Board Meeting Tuesday, July 10, 1984. In the meantime, hopefully the survey results would be in from Jacksonville residents. Also he wuld get a rough idea of a price for an engineer to do a rough feasibility study on our needs and the cost. The general concensus of the Board was -that it would be great to provide water to Jacksonville residents and also to Alpha House because they certainly could understand the needs of both, but it should be understood they feel their responsibility is to the Jacksonville area first because it would serve more residents. The Board thanked Mr. McElwee for attending and being so informative. Motion made by Mr. Herrick and seconded by Mr. Vorp to adjourn the meeting. Voted and unanimously carried. Meeting adjourned at 9:00 P.M. Respectfully submitted, Marsha Georgia Town Clerk MG/pm • p. MARtIN A. LUSTER, Suporvlwr MARSHA L. GEORGIA, Town Clark JAMES A.

The minutes of the June 12, 1984 and the July 5, 1984 meetings were distributed and approved. Tompkins County Representative James Mason reported that the Board had met that morning and had passed the County portion of the Tompkins -Cortland Community College Budget. Mr. Mason also advised that bids have gone out for new lighting on the Airport taxie ways. Reported that the SPCA contract had been approved and the monthly payment had been increased to $1,500. Advised us that there will be a Public Hearing on August 14, 1984 regarding the Biggs Complex. EMC has approved a cleanup day in September that would provide for people to dispose of old chemicals at no cost to the County. Mark Vann, Fire Chief of the Trumansburg Fire Department was unable to attend the meeting but had left his report for the month which Mr. Luster read (copy attached). Calista Smith of the Trumansburg Conservatory of Fine Arts, spoke to the Board. The Conservatory is applying for a Grant from the State for the purpose of renovating the building they are in. In 1982 they took possession of the old Baptist Church. If this Grant is awarded the building would get a much needed face lift, and preserve an old building in the Community. The Conservatory offers the Fine Arts to ages 2 through Senior Citizens. They employ nine teachers. It also houses the Montessori School. They have many concerts open to the public. Calista asked for a letter of support from the Board. Mr. Luster moved, seconded by Mr. Herrick the adoption of the follow- ing resolution: RESOLVED: the Town of Ulysses hereby acknowledges its appreciation of and support for the Trumansburg Conservatory of Fine Arts, a not -for-profit cor- poration. The Conservatory has made exposure to the fine arts available to Town residents and has developed programs to encourage Town residents to discover and develop their natural talents. Adopted: Mr. Luster Aye Mr. Herrick Aye Mrs. Duddleston Aye A certified copy of this resolution will be given to Calista Smith of the Trumansburg Conservatory of Fine Arts for her to include with their Grant application. Joy Heila from the Trumansburg Chamber of Commerce announced that the Chamber will be founding a Blood Drive. It will be the first drive in over a year for our area. It will be held in the United Methodist Church on August 14, 1984. The mobile unit will park on Main Street, hopefully to attract more donors. The Chamber plans an extensive telephone campaign. Their goal is for 100 pints. ULYSSES TOWN BOARD 7/10/84 Page 2 W, Mrs. Heila left posters to be displayed in the Town Hall and for other interested parties. She asked for the support of the Town's employees. Tom Reitz reported that some residents were concerned about the horrible stench that the hog farm (Town of Enfield) was causing at the southwestern part of Town. Mr. Mason advised that the County Health Department was aware of this situation but because of it being an agriculture area, their hands are tied for many things. Mr. Mason asked for a letter of complaint to be forwarded in care of John Anderson of the Health Department. • Mr. Herrick moved, seconded by Mrs. Duddleston that the Board would write a letter expressing the complaints they have received. A copy of such to be forwarded to Mr. Mason. Comments were also made that the operation of the hog farm was being terminated and they are moving elsewhere, leaving just a small oper- ation here, but it wouldn't be raising hogs. ® Mrs. Duddleston moved, seconded by Mr. Herrick the adoption of the following resolution: RESOLVED: that the previously examined vouchers be approved for payment; General Fund Nos. 160-180PA $12,407.01 Highway Nos. 103-117PA 10,413.06 Part Town Nos. 33-39PA 576.95 Adopted: Mr. Luster Aye Mr. Herrick Aye Mrs. Duddleston Aye The Supervisors Financial Report was distributed to the Board (copy attached). Mr. Luster will go over in more depth later in the meeting. Mr. Luster reported that we had closed on the Vesa Property. Elizabeth Bixler, Town Attorney is holding the payment in escrow. Now building plans need to be discussed. The Town Highway crew will take care of the parking lot. Mr. Herrick felt that with the absence of a couple of Board Members, it would be wise to wait for this discussion when a larger number of representatives would be available. Discussion was tabled until a later date. On July 5th the Board had met for a special meeting (minutes attached). Mr. Luster reviewed that meeting. The results of the income survey from the Jacksonville residents were to be back in by July 9th, only 50 out of 135 had been received. Mr. Luster was very disappointed with the low response. The general concensus was that 90% of the residents in the survey want the Town to pursue the water issue. They decided to leave the survey box in Jacksonville and hope to receive the other 85 surveys. This is the first step in the grant. ® Mr. Mason also was disappointed in the low response of the residents. The County still may help with funding for feasibility studies. Due • to the absence of Frank Ligori of the Tompkins County Planning Board, talk of this had to be moved to their August agenda. Mr. Luster is looking into an engineering firm to do a feasibility study at a low cost to the Town. Previously Mr. Luster had received a request for a street light on Maplewood Road. This request had been turned over to Mr. Meeker, Highway Superintendent to look into. Mr. Meeker recommended no light be installed. He could not see where it would be beneficial to the residents. Hearing no motion, the issue is dead. Mr. Luster will write to the individual and explain. An advertisement was placed for Dog Enumerator and the Clerk had received two inquiries. Mrs. Duddleston moved, seconded by Mr. Herrick the adoption of the following resolution: RESOLVED: that the Town Board of the Town of Ulysses appoint Doris Mobbs as Dog Enumerator for a period not to exceed five (5) weeks. ULYSSES TOWN BOARD 7/10/84 Page 3 BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED: that she shall receive $1.00 per dog counted and $ .20 a mile for travel. Adopted: Mr. Luster Aye Mr. Herrick Aye Mrs. Duddleston Aye Mr. Luster reported that the Town had received from the Department or Transportation the order that the speed limit on Jacksonville Road (.9 of a mile) has been reduced to 40 MPH. Mr. Luster has written to the County Highway for the new signs. Mr. Reitz expressed his appreciation for the Boards effort from all the Jacksonville Community. Prior to tonights meeting, there was a Public Hearing on Local Law #2 - "Electrical Code". (minutes on file) Two residents spoke against this law and due to the absence of Lou Cartee, our Building Inspector, it was tabled until a later date. Mr. Luster introduced the following proposed ordinance: ORDINANCE PROHIBITING THE OBSTRUCTION OF HIGHWAYS Section 1 - Since there is a necessity to keep the town highway rights of way free from obstruction for the convenience of the public in general and town vehicles and school buses in particular, this ordinance is enacted to regulate parking and other obstructions on the town highways.

Tom Reitz had attended hearings held by New York State Department of Environmental Conservation discussing DEC project on the use of Lampricides in several Tompkins County Tributaries of Cayuga Lake. He gave a brief report of the meetings and the discussions of the use of TIM in the lake. He said the Board had three choices: 1) No action 2) Support Lampricide 3) Oppose Lampricide James Mason of the County Board of Representatives was in favor of the treatment. Also the Trumansburg Chamber of Commerce. Mr. Luster expressed his concern of the after-effects the chemical could have on the drinking water. Mr. Reitz went on to tell that this chemical has been used in foreign countries for many years. He also stated that in 48 to 72 hours the chemical breaks down, only effecting the lamprey. There has been extensive testing by the Board of Health and found no problems. Mr. Reitz asked for the support of the Town Board and Mr. Mason asked for the Board's support to be conveyed to the County. Mrs. Duddleston moved, seconded by Mr. Herrick for the support of Lampricide in Cayuga Lake. Mr. Luster said at this time he could not vote in favor because he felt he didn't have enough information. Mr. Herrick withdrew his second, after Mrs. Duddleston gave her permission. Jeanne Vanderbilt, Bookkeeper to the Supervisor, reviewed the 1984 Budget amendment with the Board. Instead of using monies in the contingency account, she had looked into using the unappropriated cash. She had called the State to verify this usage.

There may be some that will criticize but she would like Mr. Backer to remain on the Planning Board. She feels that Mr. Backer would be valuable to the residents in both areas. Mr. Backer is willing to stay in both positions. A Public Hearing date of August 2, 1984 at 7:00 P.M. was set for the purpose of a proposed Development District for the Fellows property. Mr. Luster requested that Mr. Herrick, Deputy Supervisor, conduct the Public Hearing because of an attorney/claiment relationship he had with the Fellows on another matter. Mrs. Georgia reported the total fees collected for June were $952.16 of which $296.16 was turned over to the Supervisor along with her monthly report. Of the total fees collected $55.00 of it has been forwarded to the Town of Ithaca for Building Permits along with Mr. Cartee's report. She had applied in May to the County Job Training Program for two youths to work for the Highway Department. Unfortunately, due to cut -backs in the County Program, the Town didn't receive either youth as requested. She reported that the SPCA has done a survey regarding dog control in all the Towns in the County and is proud to announce that the Town of Ulysses has the lowest percentage of unlicensed dogs at 4%. James Meeker, Highway Superintendent gave his May and June report, (copy attached). Mr. Meeker thanked the Board for sending him and David Linn to the Highway School at Cornell University. He reported he had been in contact with our attorney, Elizabeth Bixler and she had ok'ed the setting of poles and installing cables to disallow people dumping at the Town Barns and that this had been done. Mr. Meeker has received prices of Zoning signs to be placed on the highways entering the Town. The price varies of course, depending on size and what is printed. The general concensus of the Board is a need for these signs. Mr. Herrick moved, seconded by Mrs. Duddleston the adoption of the following resolution: RESOLVED: that Robert Herrick will meet with James Meeker, Highway Superintendent and look over the different ® size signs and decide the wording. BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED: that Mr. Herrick is authorized to purchase such signs at a cost not to exceed $1,000.00 • Adopted: Mr. Luster Aye Mrs. Duddleston Aye Mr. Herrick Aye Mr. Meeker commented that he had received some complaints from residents by the Town Barns of the dust created by the trucks. He went on to explain that the stone piles were only 80' from one of the resident's windows. He has proposed to move the stone piles and plant a row of trees. This would improve the looks of the Town Barns property and also develop a better public relationship with the neighbors. He had a quote from Village Greenhouse for twelve 4 to 5 foot pine trees at a cost of $384.00 including planting and maintaining. Mr. Luster moved seconded by Mrs. Duddleston the following resolution: RESOLVED: that James Meeker authorize the Village Greenhouse to go ahead with the planting of the trees. BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED: that the price should not exceed the quoted price of $384.00.

"A LOCAL LAW INSTITUTING AN ELECTRICAL CODE FOR THE REGULATION OF THE INSTALLATION AND ALTERATION OF WIRING FOR ELECTRIC LIGHT, HEAT OR POWER AND SIGNAL SYSTEMS OPERATING ON 50 VOLTS OR MORE, IN OR ON ALL REAL PRO- PERTY WITHIN THE TOWN OF ULYSSES." Ulysses Supervisor Martin Luster called the Public Hearing to order at 7:30 P.M. Others Present: Councilman Robert Herrick, Town Clerk Marsha Georgia, Attorney Elizabeth Bixler. Also present: ® Calista Smith, Richard Backer, Catherine Stover, James Mason. Proff of notice was read by Marsha Georgia, Town Clerk. Mr. Luster commented that no action could be taken at this hearing due to lack of a quorum. Mr. Luster read the proposed Local Law #2. Catherine Stover asked if this law was required by the state. Mr. Luster commented that it was suppose to have been in effect several years ago. Richard Backer spoke against the law, calling attention to Section #7 where you need not have a permit to install 110 volt but do need a permit for 220 volt. He stated that in his opinion 220 volt hook up would be the same as two 110's therefore it didn't make any sense. to him. , Mrs. Stover commented that all she could foresee were problems. That farmers or,in her case farm and the mill, would have to be applying for alot of permits, creating alot of paper work, every time any new equipment was to be installed or any changes were to be made. With no additional comments, Mr. Luster adjourned the Hearing at 7:40 P.M. MG/pm MINUTES TOWN OF ULYSSES ZONING BOARD OF APPEALS PUBLIC HEARING 11 July 1984 PURPOSE OF HEARING: to consider application of V. Stewart Underwood for a variance under Article II, Section 6, of the Town of Ulysses Zoning Ordinance for his property located at 1161 Taughannock Boulevard, Town of Ulysses, tax map 31-2-12, to divide said parcel into two parcels. Present at Hearing: Zoning Appeals Board chairman Merle Stillions, Adrienne VanDyk, William Weitzel, Ferneley Bauchle, Jospeh Farrell, A. Beers, sec. Also Mr. Underwood, Mrs. Underwood, Frank Flannery, Gail Flannery, Robert Bauchle, A. G. Golder, attorney for Mr. Underwood, Town Zoning Officer David Zimet, Deputy Zoning Officer Richard Backer. Mr. Stillions opened the hearing and asked for a roll call of members. He then asked Mr. Underwood to elaborate on his variance request. Mr. Underwood said he would keep the southern parcel of the property and planned to renovate the existing cottage there, said cottage has not been used for the past 10 years or longer although a relative had used it for several years, probably in the 1950s or 1960s. Prior to that hired help had lived in this cottage. This cottage is located within a few feet of the property line. Asked about the lake frontage of the southerly portion of the proposed property split, Mr. Underwood said the docks as shown on the map would leave about 44 feet of the shore line available for dock construction. It was brought out by Mr. Farrell that the new State Haw has restrictions on dock construction. When Mr. Backer asked about the 150 feet minimum diabeter required by the Health Department for ceptic systems, Mr. Golder advised that the existing ceptic system on that portion of the property had tentative approval of the Health Department if no additional bedrooms were added to the remodel ed old structure. Mr. Flannery said that as a practical difficulty for him, he does not need two cottages. Mrs. Flannery spoke to the hearing listing various reasons vhy she and Mr. Flannery were opposed to the splitting of the subject parcel. She questioned dockage on the southern portion, ceptic system adequacy; soil conservation maps show the ceptic system on that portion as being 50 years old. She also spoke of access to the souther portion, nearness of the cottage on the southern portion to cottages on her property. Mr. Golder said the old cottage on the southern portion of the plot is a non -conform- ing use as to its relation to the lot line. The Board retired for an executive session. Returning to the hearing, the Board informed the applicants they wished more time to consider the application and was adjourning the hearing until 7:30 p.m., July 10, 1984, at the To. ex, sec. 19 July 1984 Public Hearing for the Underwood variance request re -convened at 7:30 p.m. this date. Present at Hearing: BZA members Adrienne VanDyk, William Weitzel, Ferneley Bauchle, Joseph Farrell, A. Beers, sec; absent: Merle Sillions. Also present: the applicant Stewart Underwood, Mrs. Underwood, their attorney Mr. Golder, Town Attorney Elizabeth Bixler, Frank and Gail Flannery, Zoning Officer David Zimet, and Dr. Richard Salerno, After roll call of BZA members, the Board elected Mr. Weitzel as acting chairman for the hearing, Mr. Weitzel asked for comments and/or additional information from the applicant relative to the variance request. Mr. Golder, speaking for the applicant, said additional material was available. Mr. Golder introduced Dr. Salerno as the prospective purchaser of the northern parcel of the property under consideration -?,who said if he purchased the property he would upgrade it and if he owned both of the subject parcels of land he would renovate the old cottage on the souther portion and use it as rental property. Mr. Golder also presented and read a letter from Margaret H. and James H. Bramble, neighbors of the Underwoods, who expressed their approval of the division of the property. He also called attention to a letter from Attorney George Platte and Mrs. Patte, property owners at 1167 Taughannock Boulevard, indicating their approval of the division of the plot. Board members had already received copies of this letter. BZA Undersood p2 I I r 1 Mr. Underwood then read a "position paper" in which he addressed questions raised at the first hearing. Copies of these documents are a part of the official files. Mrs. Flannery then spoke to the Board repeating objections to the variance request. She presented additional pictures of the property and listed as her objections the tad condition (falling in) of a portion of the roof of the old cottage, lake shore frontage, distance between the old cottage and cottages on her property, the lack of privacy which results from the closeness of the cottages on the two properties, and said that tenants (renters) of cottages on her property do not have beach privileges. She also questioned the accuracy of the frontage of the property in question. She also argued that division of the Underwood property into two parcels would be setting a precident for future Board action. The Appeals Board then retired for an executive session. Returning to the hearing Mrs. Beers was asked to read the following resolutions WHEREAS: V. Stewart Undersood of 1161 Taughannock Boulevard, parcel tax map No. 31-2-12, has asked for a variance under Article II, Section 6, of the Town of Ulysses Zoning ordinance to divide said, tax parcel into two parcels, and WHEREAS: applicant wishes to sell the northern parcel on which he has a cottage and wishes to renovate the cottage on the southern parcel for his own use, and WHEREAS: division of the property into two parcels will not appreciably increase the population density, nor would it create a substantial change in the character of the neighborhood, and the applicant would have practical difficulties if he did not sell the northern portion of the property, and WHEREAS: the interest of justice would be served by the granting of the variance, THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED: that the request of Mr. Underwood for a variance be granted. Mr. Farrell moved the adoption of the resolution, Mrs. Aauchle seconded the motion. Voting was a follows: Mrs. VanDyk no Mr. Farrell yes Mr. Weitzel yes Mrs. Bauchle yes. Mr. Stillions presented the secretary with a copy of his written vote approving the variance request in which he stated his reasons - which ar4n keeping with the resolution adopted. Hearing adourned at 9:30 p.m. Applicant will be notified officiall of Board action by copy of these minutes. cc: Board members Mr Underwood Town Board files J, /W- " MINUTES' TOWN OF ULYSSES PLANNING BOARD -18 July- 1984 PURPOSE OF MBETING: 1. to consider request of Richard E.Parkar for approval of a 16 -lot subdivision located on his property on Perry City Road (County Road 142) approximately 4-10ths of a mile west of Route 96 on the north side of the road. Lots proposed for residential use only. 2. discussion of Economic Development of the Town of Ulysses Present, Planning Board members Chairman Roland Reynolds, Robert Bauchle, M. Budd ®• Stover, Seville Reulein Jr., Robert Weatherby, H. William Smith; absent Richard Backer. Also present: applicant Richard Parker, Lawrence Reverby, Richard Owlett, Martin Luster, A. Beers. ® Mr. Reynolds asked Mr. Parker to present his subdivision plans to the Board. (copy attached.) When asked Mr. Parker said he had not first presented his request to the Town Board. It was brought out that the routine for action was first to present the request to the Town Board, from there it went to the Town Planning Board, to the County Planning Department, then tack to the Town Planning Board with detailed comments and recommendations to the Town Board for action, which would include the public hearing, etc, before final decision is made for approval or disapproval. In January of this year the Town Planning Board did not believe it wanted a sub- division ordinance or that one would be necessary. However, the creation of a 16 - lot development presented some unanswered questions in the minds of the Board. Mr. Stover suggested the question be reviewed again to see of the original decision for no sub -division ordinance be changed, The Board agreed .with this suggestion. Mr.Parker said he would make formal request to the Town Board for his 16 -lot subdivision development. In the meantime the Town Planning Board is presenting the matter to the County Planning Department for study and comment. Mr. Reynolds then opened the meeting for discussion of the economic development of the Township, asking Mr. Luster to open the discussion. Mr. Luster said the Planning Board should make long range plans for the type of development it wishes for the Township, taking into consideration the types of businesses already in the area (such as cottage industries, tourism, etc.,),the types of economic development which the area could support, the current lack of water and sewer facilities in the rural areas. He suggested the Board look forward to the development possible for the next 10 years. Mr. Owlett and Mr. Reverby both spoke to the problem of development. Mr. Owlett, as president of the area Chamber of Commerce, said he had done a survey two years ago relative to the economic development needs of the area. Mr. Luster suggested the Board contact Mr. R. Schwarting, head of the County Area Development, and the head of the Groton Development organization for ideas and suggestions. Mr. Reynolds said he had checked into the possible location of the Armory in the Town of Ulysses and learned the Town does not qualify since the Town does not own sufficient vacant property which could be given or leased for the purpose, nor does the Town have water and sewer facilities which would be required. Mr. Luster reminded the Planning Board that the Town Board expects recommendations by October 1 of this year for economic development action. The Planning Board has not yet developed its survey questionnaire and Mr. Reynolds asked Board members to bring samples of survey suggestions to the next Board meeting which is set for August 1, 1984, at 7:30 in the Town Hall.

PRESENT: David Zimet, Zoning Officer; James Meeker, Highway Superinten- dent; Carolyn Duddleston, Councilwoman; Robert Herrick, Councilman; William Agard, Councilman; James Vorp, Councilman; Martin Luster, Supervisor; Paula Mount, Deputy Town Clerk. ALSO PRESENT: Geri SpEich, Tom Reitz, Catherine Stover, Beach Stover, Budd Stover, Doug Duddleston, Mr. Culver, James Mason, Dick Leeds, Richard Owlett, Lee Agard, Denny O'Neil, Ed Snyder, Seville Reulein, Debra Applebee, Glenn Applebee, Nan Colvin, Phil Colvin, Roland Reynolds, Arlee Robinson. ® The Hearing was called to order by Supervisor Martin Luster at 7:00 P.M. The Legal Notice was read by Paula Mount and the date of publication was indicated. The ordinance "An Ordinance Prohibiting the Obstruction of Highways" was read by Mr. Luster. (Copy Attached) Mr. Luster indicated that since this is a Public Hearing, the function of the Town Board is to listen to the public and their opinions. James Meeker was called upon to explain why he originally requested this Ordinance. He indicated that he has had problems while plowing the road- side, mowing, etc. Vehicles are left along the edge of the road and the Sheriff's Department will not tow these vehicles unless they are on the pavement. This Ordinance would allow us (Highway Department) to do something about these vehicles. The school has also contacted him several times because they have difficulty getting around vehicles left on the side of the road. Buses, plows, etc. must go off the pavement in order to go around these vehicles and the result is that the edge of the pavement breaks up, and in the long run will cost the taxpayers more money to repair this pavement. Mr. Luster Ordinance. asked for comments from the public concerning this proposed A question was asked concerning legal footage and right-of-way, and some discussion followed. This Ordinance would only apply to Town highways, the County has a similar right by law, with regard to County highways. Generally speaking, the right-of-way of a Town highway is 25 feet from the center line. Richard Owlett suggested that a definition of right-of-way be included in the Ordinance as it relates to 'obstruction'. Mr. Luster commented that the legal right-of-way should not be modified by a local ordinance. Some discussion concerning right-of-way took place. This Ordinance does not prohibit parking within 25 feet of the center line, it merely deals with obstruction of the right-of-way. Question was raised as to who determines that. Mr. Luster answered that any law enforcement officer can determine it as provided in Section 4, the Highway Department can determine it in times of snow -storms, floods, or fires. Mr. Leeds commented that if a law enforcement officer or judge is the one who determines whether or not you are in violation, it would be hard to decide where to park your vehicle. He felt that the rules should • state exactly what is an obstruction. Mr. Luster commented that as he understands it from Elizabeth Bixler, Town Attorney, when she drafted the language of this Ordinance, the language of Section 2 was taken from a case, the validity of which was upheld by the court and she felt it was the safest way, in terms of passing a law that would stand muster before a court using the language of a law that has already gone through the process. It comes down to a rule of reason. Your perception of what is reasonable varies from the enforcement officers perception of what is reasonable. The judge has to decide it. It's very difficult to write very specific laws because they leave out things you really want covered, and it depends on the manner in which any law in enforced, whether it's reasonably enforced or not. Beach Stover felt that the proposed Ordinance, except for Section 4, was too broad. Denny O'Neil agreed with Mr. Stover. Town Of Ulysses 55 Public Hearing 7:00 P.M: July 26,'1984 Page 2 Mr. Luster commented that it is being read as an absolute prohibition against any structure being within 25 feet of the center line and that is not what it says. It's perfectly lawful as long as it is not inter- fering with the use of the highway by others and the maintenance of the highway. If the vehicle is actually on the pavement, Mr. Meeker indicated that he would call the Sheriff and a wrecker would remove same. The problem is that some people will have their car towed away and they get it back and park it right back on the blacktop. Mr. Meeker feels that the only way to cure this problem is to have something like this Ordinance. He also indicated that he already has the legal right to remove anything he wants that is within 25 feet of the center of the road (trees, light ® poles, etc.). This Ordinance wouldn't really change anything, since all the above mentioned items are already in the law, except where people continue to park along the edge of the road. The idea of this is to keep stuff clear of the highway, to give people a clear view and open for safety reasons. Richard Owlett asked if Section 2 is specific enough to be enforceable. Mr. Luster commented that that is the language that was gathered from a case that withstood a challenge, so we go on precedent. It is some- what broad but articulates the real purpose of the law and that is not to harass and not to prevent people from using their property but to make sure that there is no unreasonable interference with the highway. True, a judge somewhere along the line has to determine whether a particular action is unreasonable under the circumstances, but judges make decisions like that all the time. A 'fair and reasonable' charge was discussed for towing. It was indica- ted that a set dollar amount was difficult to incorporate into the Ordinance, since charges vary with the seasons of the year and with the person doing the actual towing. James Mason commented that he felt the problem was that when you have wording such as this it puts the burden on the citizen who contests the law. Mr. Leeds stated that he felt the purpose was very reasonable. What bothered him was that he had heard of the meeting by word of mouth and asked if this Ordinance was advertised as required. Mr. Luster answered Yes. The notice of the Public Hearing was published in the Journal on July 16th and was in the Calendar section of yesterday's paper in addition to being posted on the bulletin board here and was mentioned in a full page ad in last weeks Freepress. Mr. Luster closed the Public Hearing on the Obstruction of Highways Ordinance and will put it on the agenda for the August meeting of the Town Board.

The Public Hearing was called to order by Martin Luster, Supervisor, at 7:30 P.M. The Legal Notice was read by Paula Mount, Deputy Town Clerk. Mr. Luster then read the proposed ordinance "Regulating the Maintenance of Real Property". (Copy Attached) Mr. Luster added that this proposed Ordinance is simply that, there has been no discussion between Board members at all. It was drafted by him in response to the request of the Building Inspector and the now Deputy Zoning Officer, Richard Backer, who at that time was the Zoning Officer. Mr. Leeds questioned as to what brought this proposed Ordinance about. Mr. Luster answered that according to the Building Inspector and Zoning Officer, who travel the roads extensively, they feel that based upon their observations in the Town, there are a number of properties that do not violate the existing Zoning Ordinance with regard to the mainten- ance provisions contained there, and that they would be in violation of an Ordinance of this sort. Tom Reitz opposes this Ordinance for several reasons. He does feel that this Ordinance conflicts with the Zoning Ordinance and listed three parts. Article 4, Section 4; Article 6, Section 1; and Article 11. He added that this Ordinance is undefined in many parts. He does not feel this Ordinance is necessary in our Town, there are only a few isolated pro- iilem areas, and feels that perhaps our present Zoning Ordinance could '"e clarified or brought up-to-date and made more enforceable. Mr. Reitz went on to say that he feels there has been over -regulating by government 'o the property owners. He feels that neighbor relations would be severly strained as you are asking for neighbor to tell on neighbor, instead of them talking it over. He would like to see a comprehensive review by the Board before any decision is made. This Ordinance was only proposed two weeks ago and already there is a Public Hearing. He doesn't think the public has had an opportunity to review it and would like to see the Board really look it over closly. He also mentioned the Legal Notice was brief. Mr. Reitz mentioned several sections of the proposed Ordinance that was not clear to him. He feels junk cars are a problem and that there are many other problems, but feels they can be handled with the present Zoning Ordinance and not promote another regulation. •Arlee Robinson stated that she sees no reason for an addition of this kind to our Zoning Ordinance, having had the experience herself in enforcement, that we are very well covered and she had had no problems enforcing it. The same people that were in violation ten years ago are in violation now. These people will pay no attention to this Ordinance anymore than they have the past ordinance. She stated that the existing Ordinance covers much of what is in this Ordinance and that the existing Ordinance is enforceable. James Mason spoke in support of Mr. Reitz and Mrs. Robinsons statements. He is concerned with what appears to be the proliferation of rules, regulations and ordinances that have evolved in the last few months. He commented that this is probably the fourth or fifth proposed ordinance in just a matter of a few months. He feels with this particular ordinance it is covered in our existing ordinance and if we're having problems enforcing, that the problem wouldn't be solved by a new ordinance. Per- haps more energy can be spent enforcing the existing ordinance. Town of Ulysses Public Hearing 7:30 P.M. July 26, 1984 Page 2 Pt - Mr. Luster indicated to Mr. Mason since January only one Local Law has been enacted. That because of hearing about the same one over and over, it may appear that there are more. Beach Stover went on record as being strongly opposed. He went on to comment that it would lead to more legal harassment. Denny O'Neil opposed the Ordinance. He feels that they can be worked through the Zoning Codes. He would hate to think he is liable to a fine and 15 days in prison for having boats that are inoperable in January -March for instance. Mr. Leeds went on record as being opposed. One of the parts he is offended by is doing something that changes the value of your property. He feels that this is bad. If he wishes to drive down the value of his property he has every right to. Health and safety he can understand. He stated that he probably has driven down the value because he has taken 19 years to paint his house because he always is building fences. He also stated that if you see a place that is run down you can't tell if the person is lazy or too busy doing something else. Ed Snyder went on record as being opposed for several reasons. 1) Not clear to him why it was drafted in the first place; 2) So vague in so many areas. The way he reads and interprets it, he can't store his tractor outside his barn if it's our of fuel because it would be inoper- able. He is dead set against this ordinance for many reasons. Mr. Luster commented that there seemed to be a trend here. Mr. Snyder commented that if more people knew about it, there would be a bigger trend! Seville Reulein spoke against it. He stated that you cannot burn leaves and waste in the Town. He likes to accumulate waste, vegetable peels, and things like this to put back in the garden. Stated that a farmer could have a manure pile that can be smelled a long ways away. He should he allowed to have one also if he desires. Imo Herrick asked if there is anyone here to speak as why they needed this ordinance and why they can't enforce the existing code. Is the existing code written vaguely or somehow so it cannot be enforced? Mr. Luster stated that David Zimet is our current Zoning Officer (not the one who asked for Ordinance). He asked David if he wished to comment. David Zimet stated that the way the present Zoning Ordinance is written, that there are many difficulties in enforcment. Also the Ordinance is quite vague. In particular with the junk cars. There seems to be an argument as to what constitutes a junk car. Just like tonights conver- sation --is a tractor unoperable if it is out of fuel? Obviously that is not what this Ordinance is aimed at. His personnal feelings are that the problems could be addressed through revisions of the Zoning Ordinance and keep the number of the laws on the books down. However, he doesn't agree that Zoning Ordinance, as it now stands, can effectively deal with problems that this proposed Ordinance is trying to address. Why? Because there is no definition of what a junk car, what is an abandoned washing machine, etc. To address the gentleman who stated he had the right to drive down the value of his property value, Yes you have that right, but the residents of the Town should have the right to expect that if they invest in a piece of property, their investment will not be brought down by the actions of a neighbor. Mr. Leeds commented that what's one persons junk is another persons treasure and that he liked his junk. Mr. Luster asked if there were any other comments. Tom Reitz offered a suggestion that this be put to a public referendum in this November's election to be voted on by a broad spectrum of voters in the Town. Town of Ulysses Public Hearing - 7:30 P.M. July 26, 1984 Page 3 Mr. Luster stated this is not one of the areas that the law provides for a referendum. It would not be a proper public charge, the expense of a referendum on this would not be a proper public charge. If we could have an official poll, much like we did for the water district, or something like that. This is not one of the areas permitted by State law for a Town to run a referendum nor is it one of the areas where it can be placed on the ballots by petition. Although he is not opposed to having a broad discussion on it, the mechanism is not there. Mr. Culver went on record as opposing for several reasons --one is under item 2, if I wanted a compost pile, it could not be; or if I wanted to buy a load of logs to be cut up for fire wood, I can't do that; much ® less pile it up after it is cut. Under #4, there are many things -- boats, snow -mobiles and farm machinery that spends months on land when it's not operating. Most people don't have places to put these inside or hide them from view. Ed Snyder questioned the definition of solid market waste. He also questioned discarded bedding. Mr. Luster said he would interpret that to mean mattresses and such. Mr. Snyder said he would interpret it to mean animal bedding. Mrs. Herrick mentioned that when she had heard the announcement on the radio it had mentioned other Towns had passed similar ordinances relating to these problems. Mr. Luster stated this ordinance is based on the Town of Ithaca's Ordinance. Mr. Snyder asked if this Ordinance is designed to address one or two problem areas, because he can't believe the Town is disgusting. Mr. Luster explained that this is based upon the reports he has gotten from the Town Officers and that it is a growing problem. A few years ago it wasn't a problem at all. Now it is a small problem, but much larger than it was. There is concern reported by the two Officers who have done the inspections --that it is a problem growing with intensity, although noone is trying to tell anyone that it a crisis. Mr. Culver stated that if you are really after junk cars, refrigerators or stoves and things of that nature, zero in on it instead of regulating quite so much that is totally unenforceable, because a lot of the items in this Ordinance are very, very common. Phil Colvin stated that if you have an older couple that wants to keep up their property, such as cut tree limbs, brush, etc., just where do they put it? The garbage men will not take it. What are you suppose to do with it? You can't burn it. Mr. Luster commented that he really didn't know how to answer and that it raises a whole different issue. Possibly we (the Town) needs a dumping facility or a dumping facility outside the Town. We are, hopefully next year, going to go back to providing for curb pick-up during clean-up week. Mr. Colvin stated that if the Town was going to pass such an Ordinance, they should provide a place or means to dispose of the items. Comment was made that the Town Highway Department did pick up in the Village, but Town residents couldn't get pick up James Meeker responded that the main reason residents saw the Town trucks in the Village picking up for Spring Clean -Up is because a small town of Ulysses' size can't afford a back hoe, two or three trucks, a grade -all and other equipment. So other towns, villages and even the County, swap work. We were helping with their clean up in swap for use of their back - hoe or other equipment and man -power later. Mr. Mason was under the impression that Local Law #2 was scheduled to be discussed. Mr. Luster stated that the Public Hearing had been held prior to the last Board Meeting (July). For the public's information, he announced that he has distributed to the Board tonight, a revised Local Law #2 - with major revisions. Mr. Luster reviewed it briefly.

He said they wish to replace an attached kitchen and bathroom which now are difficult to heat and generally restructure the interior of the building, at the same time insulatin it. There would be no change in the number of bedrooms (1) or bathrooms (1). The lot on which the residence is located is a non -conforming tract which has a 100 -feet frontage. Mr. Zimet had received a letter from the County Planning Board indicating that office found no significant deleterious impact insofar as State law 299-m is concerned.

Also presents Lawrence Reverby, Richard Owlett, and A Beers, acting sec. Meeting opened with continuing discussion of economic development of the Township. Members discussed the number of one-man craft operations in the area, questioning just how much such operations help the tax base in the Town. Mr. Owlett said he was aware of one such business moving to Hector due to lack of available space locally. It was suggested a good use of the Agri-Bio bu ilding would be the development of it as a craft center. Mr. Reynolds said he had hoped Mr. Schwarting of the County Development organintion would be at this meeting. Mr. Backer thought it would be a good idea to get the County Planning Board to meet with this body to learn what they have found out regarding development in their past studies and what information they can offer. Mr. Bauchle spoke of the need for a water district for the Town as a basis for economic development and Mr. Backer again stressed the necessity of getting the County Planning Board to tell us what we can do, the needs of the community, and the development of the Township during the next 20 years. Mr. owlett brought to the Planning Board a suggested questionnaire for use of the Board in its anticipated survey. The next anticipated meeting is set for 15 August at the Town Hall and Mr. Reynolds will see if he can get some County personnel to be present at this meeting. Meeting adjourned. A Beers, acting see II Ij �I r TOWN OF ULYSSES Public 2ea9�� a bs PURPOSE OF HEARING: to consider application of Bruce and Cora Fellows for a Planned Development District at 700 Halseyville Road. Purpose of placing a mobile home on their property. Ulysses Deputy Supervisor Robert Herrick called the Public Hearing to order. at 7:00 P.M. Others Present: Carolyn Duddleston, Councilwoman; Marsha Georgia, Town Clerk. Also present: Bruce and Cora Fellows, Catherine and Beach Stover, Stephen and Olive Marvin, Tom Reitz, David Zimet, Zoning Officer. Proof of Legal Notice was read by Marsha Georgia, Town Clerk. Mr. Herrick read the minutes of the June 27, 1984 Planning Board. ® The Planning Board recommended the acceptance of the proposal of the Fellows. Mr. Herrick asked if there were any present that would like to address the purpose of the Hearing. Mr. Stover commented that his property is directly across from the Fellows property and that he would like to speak in favor of the proposal for a Mobile Home. Mrs. Stover was also in favor. Tom Reitz commented that he also has parents in their late sixty's and would like to take this opportunity because he knows there are provisions in the Town's Zoning, to speak in favor of this proposal. Mr. Marvin replied that he was directly across from where the Mobile Home is to be sited and would at this time like to express that he also is in favor of the Planned Development. Mr. Herrick explained that there would be no vote on it tonight because there was no quorum present. It would be voted on at the August 14th, 1984 Regular Meeting of the Board. Mr. Zimet, Zoning Officer of the Town of Ulysses, made note that he had corresponded with Mr. Fellows, recommending that he not place the mobile home on the site prior to the Hearing. This letter was placed in the records. Mr. Fellows commented that everything has been positive and that he was in a situation where he had to move the trailer on at this time. Mrs. Duddleston reported that she had had several calls regarding the early arrival of the mobile home prior to approval. Mr. Fellows commented that he had contacted Mr. Zimet and that he had the right to have it there 30 days. Mr. Herrick said that as long as it was not sited he was legal. e Mr. Reitz asked if another Public Hearing would be called, not realiz- ing that for every Public Hearing they had to be advertised. Mr. Herrick pointed out that the minutes of this meeting would be avail- able to the other Board members. Mr. Fellows asked what he could do seeing that this was going to be postponed until the 14th. He felt that seeing that there were no negative responses, he should be able to continue. Mr. Herrick pointed out that a decision has not been made and he recommended Mr. Fellows to wait until after the Regular Meeting on August 14th. Hearing no further comments, Mr. Herrick moved, seconded by Mrs. Duddleston that the Public Hearing be adjourned. Meeting adjourned at 7:11 P.M. Marsha L.

Box U Trumaneburg, N.Y.14886 (607)387-860116447 LEGAL NOTICE PUBLIC HEARING PLEASE TAKE NOTICE, that the Ulysses Town Board will hold a Public Hearing on Thursday August 2nd, 1984, at 7:00PM in the Ulysses Town Hall, 10 Elm Street, Trumansburg, New York on Proposed Planned Developement District at 700 Halseyville Road for Bruce and Cora Fellows. For the purpose of placing a Mobile Home on their property. By Order of the Town Board Marsha L. Georgia Town Clerk ULYSSES TOWN BOARD August 14, 1984 Minutes of the Regular Meeting of the Town Board of the Town of Ulysses held August 14, 1984 at the Town Hall commencing at 8:00 P.M. Present: Martin Luster, Supervisor; Carolyn Duddleston, Council- woman; James Vorp, Councilman; Marsha Georgia, Town Clerk; Elizabeth Bixler, Attorney; James Meeker, Highway Superin- tendent. Others Present: Mr. and Mrs. Bruce Fellows, Mark Vann, Richard Backer, Lou Cartee, Mr. Marvin, Gerri Speich, David Zimet, ® Mr. and Mrs. Stover, Ed Snyder, Alex Rauchen, Doug Duddles- ton, Arlee Robinson, Tom Reitz, James Mason, Ken Pewerchik, Dennis Sheenan, H. Boshart, and proprietors of Alpine Machine. The meeting was called to order by Martin Luster, Supervisor, who then led those assembled in the Pledge of Allegiance to the Flag of the United States of America. The minutes of the July 10, 1984 Board meeting, the July 26, 1984 Public Hearings on Highway Obstruction and Property Maintenance, the Special Board meeting July 26, 1984, and the Public Hearing August 2, 1984 were distributed and approved. Mark Vann, Fire Chief of the Trumansburg Fire Department reported on the departments activities for the month ( report attached ). A point of information for the Board is that the department will be, in the next two weeks, taking delivery on the tanker apparatus which will be serving the Township predominately. Also the next few weeks the firemen will be training on the streets with a new hose system. Mr. Luster reminded the Fire Department that it is coming up to that time of year to sit down and discuss next years contract. James Mason, Tompkins County Representative, reported that the Board had met that morning with a very heavy agenda with thirty or so re- solutions, mostly housekeeping. A couple of things to note: passed a resolution in support of the construction of the Armory in Tompkins County. The vote was 10 to 5, Mr. Mason voted in favor. At this time no site has been designated. Another resolution passed with some long-range significance, the Public Safety and Corrections Committee is sponsoring a resolution which will, in the future, require the administrator in the assigned Council plan, to enter into a contract with the Ithaca Credit Bureau. This will provide two things: 1) pro- vide a mechanism for the administrator of the assigned Council program to check on people who claim they are unable to pay, but in fact they may have resources; and 2) in the future, for people who are without resources at the time of needing Council but do become more affluent, will be required to pay the County back. The County is going to try this system. At this time, an excess of $100,000.00 has been spent. Mr. Luster submitted a request from Mr. Richard Parker requesting approval of a Development District on Perry City Road for a sub- division just east of Jacksonville Road which would contain 16 lots. Mr. Parker has already given it to the Planning Board and they have forwarded a copy to the County Planning Board for comments. Tonight • it will be formally submitted to the Board and await their recommen- dations.

Mrs. Georgia acknowledged the receipt of a copy of a letter from the Tompkins County Health Depart- ment that was written to the Village of Trumansburg in regards to their open burning at the old dump located at the far end of Pennsyl- vania Avenue. Mrs. Georgia has received several complaints regarding this open burning that she has passed on to the Board of Health. The letter is a request to the Village to look into an alternative to open burning. Mrs. Georgia has received literature from Mrs. Beers, who attended a meeting of the Human Coalition, that is on file in her office if anyone is interested. ULYSSES TOF•JN BO;1RD August 14, 1984 Page 7 %0 Mr. Meeker, Highway Superintendent gave his report of the activities of the highway crew for the month of July. Report attached. He has also met with Mr. Herrick regarding the signs for Zoning. Mr. Vorp moved, seconded by Mrs. Duddleston the adoption of the follow- ing resolution: RESOLVED: that the Town Board of the Town of Ulysses approve the purchase and installation of 30 signs (18 x 24) at an approximate cost of $30.00 apiece. Adopted: Mr. Luster Aye Mr. Vorp Aye Mrs. Duddleston Aye Mr. Rauchen asked Mr. Meeker if he had any information on the bridge work on DuBois Road. Mr. Meeker replied that that is a County road but he understood it was scheduled to be completed the 1st of Septem- ber. Mr. Luster read a letter received from Tom Ferretti, Chief of Police, Village of Trumansburg, requesting the reduction of the speed limit on Pennsylvania Avenue and South Street Ext. to 30 MPH. Mr. Ferretti has received several complaints from the residents regarding this matter. He feels that because of the increase of houses and residents it would be wise to lower the limit. Mr. Luster tabled this request at this time and will look into it further. Mr. Zimet, Zoning Officer, reported he had visited seven sites, three of which were denied and will have to apply for variances because of lack of the proper road frontage required. Mr. Zimet is in the process of contacting dealers of Satalite Antennas, advising them that Building Permits are required for installation. He has been in contact with the Tompkins County Board of Health regarding trailer park inspections. Mr. Zimet reported that junk cars are the biggest zoning problem. Mr. Zimet requested the Town Board to look into a standard fee for applicants of a variance. At this time the only charge to an appli- cant of a zoning variance is the fee for the advertisement of the hearing. Mr. Zimet pointed out the increased variances and the cost to the Town for such hearings, for example one hearing --the mailing costs may be $3.00 to $5.00. Mr. Cartee reports issuing nine building permits, a total fee of $95. (report submitted to Board members). Mr. Cartee again thanked Mr. Zimet and Mrs. Georgia for all their help extended to him. Mr. Vorp asked if the property behind the Town Hall, belongs to the Town now. He reports he has had an inquiry regarding if the Town plans on fencing it in to keep the kids from playing on the bank. Mrs. Robinson asked if any complaints have come in regarding the Cable. Mr. Luster advised that any complaints regarding the Cable should be directed to Susan Perkins and she will contact the American Cable Company. Mr. Mason reported that the County had passed a local law regarding the reapportionment and that District 15 will be shared with the Town of Enfield. A motion was made by Mr. Vorp, seconded by Mrs. Duddleston at 9:01 PM to adjourn the meeting. Unanimously carried. Respectfully Submitted, Marsha L.

Ave Speed Limit Two Miles To Taughannock Falls 215 Feet High To Town Board, I have received several complaints from Village and Town residents asking if the speed limit on Penna. Ave can be reduced to 30 mph as in the Village. The hazards that are there are a new church, new homes, more people walking in this area. Also the potential of more new homes in the near future would also increase the population. With the new land annexed into the Village in would decreaso the possibility of a serious accident if the speed was reduced to 30 mph. I have advised the people that complained that I would mention their concerns to the Town Board, for I concur with their idea of a reduction of the speed limit. Another area of concern which is quite similar is South St Ext, for many of the same reasons. If the reduction of Penna Ave was made in would be consistent with part of the Village which is 30mph on one side of the road, and which it's 55mph on the other side which is in the Town.

Uniform Fire Pre- vention and Building Code." PRESENT: Martin Luster, Supervisor; James Vorp, Councilman; Carolyn Duddleston, Councilwoman; Marsha Georgia, Town Clerk. Absent: Robert Herrick, Councilman; William Agard, Council- man. OTHERS PRESENT: Mr. Marvin, Doug Duddleston, Mr. and Mrs. Fellows, Mr. and Mrs. Stover, Alex Rauchen, Ed Snyder, Arlee Robin- son, Lou Cartee. The meeting was called to order by Martin Luster, Supervisor, at 7:15 P.M. Proof of the Legal was read by Mrs. Georgia. Mr. Luster made mention that this hearing was also mentioned in an article in the Free Press and also in the Ithaca Journal's calendar page for the last two days. Mr. Luster read the proposed Local Law #2. He stated that the purpose of the law is simply to facilitate enforcement of the NYS Uniform Fire Prevention and Building Code with which we are charged already and which is in effect. It allows Mr. Cartee, our Building Inspector to appoint such organizations as the Board of Fire Underwriters and other recognized electrical inspection organizations to assist him in making electrical inspections since Lou is not qualified to do that and to authorize issuance of a Certificate of Compliance. What is covered is only what is already covered by the NYS Uniform Code. We are not adding to the regulation, and are not requiring inspections of any wiring project that is not already covered and required to be approved under the NYS Uniform Code. Basically the types of wiring covered under the NYS Uniform Codes are where there is new construction or where there is substantial alterations, and a list of others already covered by State Law. We, by adopting Local Law #1, have assumed responsibility for enforcing this. This is implementing legislation to allow Lou to get the assistance he needs to make sure it is properly enforced. Mr. Luster then asked if there were any comments. Mr. Stover asked who was requiring this enforcement. Mr. Luster replied, New York State. Mr. Stover asked if the people of the Town of Ulysses were requiring it. Mr. Luster replied that New York State Law requires that the law be enforced. The people acting through the Town Board adopted a Local Law that requires the Town to enforce locally the Uniform Code, that was for the benefit of the people of the Town so that they could deal with a local official rather than with an unknown official in Albany in getting Building Permits approved. This is nothing that has originated in the Town or with this Town Board, or with any individual within this Town, it originated in Albany and it is a question whether we do it right or do it wrong but we have got to do it. Mr. Stover asked if the Village of Trumansburg had adopted anything like this. Mr. Luster replied he was not sure what the Village was doing. He understands that residents of the Village have to apply to Albany for Building Permits. Mr. Stover commented that if he changes a meter he would now have to have it inspected or if he added equipment he'd have to have it in- spected. Mr. Luster replied that only if it was covered by the State Law and only if the law required it. He understood it only effected equipment where there was to be an overall renovation, or new, construction. Lou Cartee, Town of Ulysses Building Inspector, addressed the question. He went on to explain the reasons for adopting this law was so that he would have someone who is qualified to do the work. I am only TOWN OF ULYSSES Public Hearing August 14, 1984 Page 2 concerned with new houses, additions, alterations, whatever would require a Building Permit, not rewiring. If there is not a building permit involved then I am not involved with this phase of the Electri- cal Code, only on new construction, or additons and alterations. Mr. Stover commented that he didn't feel that the law was stating this. Mr. Cartee replied that this is the intent of this Local Law. He added that he could not be a Building Inspector in this Town or any other town and get an inspector to come in and provide the proper inspection without him being appointed to do the work. Mr. Stover asked if this was a cost to the taxpayer. Mr. Cartee stated there is no cost to the taxpayer except the number of outlets is charged back to the person who is requiring the inspection. No cost to taxpayers, only to the applicant of the Building Permit, a very minimal charge. This inspector will not come to do an inspection unless it is at Lou's request because of a Building Permit. Mr. Luster commented that having an electrical inspection has been in effect as a practical matter for new construction. These agencies have been doing the inspections before the utilities (NYSEG) will allow a hook-up anyway, and these fees have been paid for years. This law just gears it to the Code so that we are in conformity. The Town will authorize Floyd Ferris to clothe inspection to be in conformity with the Uniform Code. Mr. Stover wishes to go on record as being strongly opposed to this law. Mrs. Robinson explained that if the Town of Ulysses had not adopted the NYS Uniform Code anyone that wanted to build anything would have had to wait for Albany to issue the permit. That could take up to six months. Mr. Luster added that the same electrical inspections that are being discussed would have to be performed but they would be performed at an inspection designated by Albany. Mrs. Robinson pointed out that the Town is only enforcing the state law to save the residents the time and aggrivation of going to Albany. She doesn't understand how anyone can oppose State Law. Mr. Stover commented that there are enough people in the Town of Ulysses that are interested in harassment and that's why he's opposed. Mrs. Robinson stated that njone is being harassed. Mr. Stover replied she didn't know the half of it. Mr. Luster asked for any other comments and hearing none declared the hearing closed at 7:30 P.M. • H TOWN OF ULYSSES '73 ZONING BOARD OF APPEALS PUBLIC HEARING 16• August1'984 PURPOSE OF HEARING: to consider application of Stevan Doll'Orto of.A52 Taughannock Blvd, parcel No. 19-3-10, for an area variance under Article II, Section 6, of the Town of Ulysses Zoning Ordinance Present at hearing: Beach Stover, Catherine Stover, Robert Bauchle, Thomas Reitz; Appeals Board members Merle Stillions, chairman, Adrienne VanDyk, Ferneley Bauchle, A.

Rachun for an area variance under Article II, Section 6, of the Town of Ulysses Zoning Ordinance .,for their property on Cologrove Road, tax map X26-2-6.1. Present at Hearings Board members Merle Stillions, chairman, Adrienne Van Dyk, Fernoley Bauchle, A. Beers, secretary; absents Joseph Farrell, William Weitzel. Also presents applicant Alexander Rachun, Jesse Mokeel, Bonnie Champion, Beach ,Stover, Catherine Stover, Thomas Reitz, Zoning Officer David Zimet, and Robert Bauchle. Mr. Stillions opened the hearing by asking for roll call of members. He then asked Mr. Rachun to explain further the problem of the structure on his property under question. Mr. Rachun said the old house was on the property when he and his wife purchased it, that it was an old structure, had not been used as a dwelling for many years, that when he built his present home on the property he had thought he could move the old house back in line with the new one but found that the cost would be prohibitive. He said he had removed what appeared to be an addition to the rear of the house because it was rotting away and that the use for it now would be for storage. Mr. Rachun said he plans to restore the outside of the old house, that it has one room down stairs, the half story above has two rooms and there is a full basement beneath it. He said he had constructed a shed tack of the old house which he uses for storage of building supplies, yard and garden tools. Mr. Stillions then asked those present at the hearing for comments. All but Mr. Bauchle approved keeping the old house as it is. Mr. Bauchle remarked he thought the structure being so close to the roadway, non -conforming to the area requirements of the Zoning Ordinance, would detract from the value of the property and adjoining property. The Board then retired for an executive session. Returning to the hearing the secretary was requ ested to read the following resolution: WHEREAS: Alexander and Mary Rachun have requested an area variance for a structure on their property located too close to the roadway to convert said structure to a storage area, and WHEREAS: moving said structure to conform to front yard requirements of the Zoning Ordinance would be a great expense, and WHEREAS: granting of the variance would not increase the population density nor would it produce a change in the character of the neighborhood by using the structure for storage, THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED: that the variance requested by granted with the following stipulation: that the structure will be used only as a storage area and not as a home or place of business. Mrs. VanDyk moved the resolution be adopted, Mr. Voting as follows: Mr. Stillions approve Mrs. VanDyk approve Mrs. Bauchle approve Mr. Farrell addressed the following vote by mail Mr. Rachun's application for an area variance variance Variance granted and hearing adjourned. Stillions seconded the motion. to Mrs. Beers: "In reviewing . I vote in favor of the Mr. and Mrs. Rachun will be notified officially of Board oaaction by copy of these minutes. d /1 Aileen H.

William Smith, Budd Stover, also Joe Gentilli of the County Planning Board, David Zimet, Zoning Officer, A. Beers, sec. Absent, PB members Robert Bauchle, Robert Weatherby, Seville Reulein, Jr., Richard Backer. Among other activities Mr. Gentilli is a member of theEconomic Advisory Board for Tompkins County, advising the County Board of Representatives, and he has been involved with the economic planning development of Groton. In speaking about Groton, he said the closing of the SCM plant there has cost Groton 1200 lost jobs. Such is not the problem with the Town of Ulysses - we do not have an emergency employment problem. He sees the economic development of the Town of Ulysses as being geared to gradual growth, stressing the protection and maintenance of our senic beauty, quality of life and the development of industriesor potential industries and services already present. He did not recommend the recruitment of outside industry as a main goal. In urging that we foster what we already have he suggested the development of "tree crops" - orcharding for instance. The "home grown" industries should take precidence over bringing in outside industry A B ers e sec � In private conversation - Mr. Reulein suggested extension of water service • up 96 by annexation to Ithaca water supply connecting with Trumansburg supply. This he tought would create more demand for housing. Beers suggests greater attention be given to development of Jacksonville hamlet, which already has neucleus of services (post office, shops, etc.) which would certainly grow with water supply. ra ULYSSES TOWN BOARD September 11, 1984 The regular meeting of the Ulysses Town Board was called to order at 8 P.M. in the Town Hall by Supervisor Martin Luster. Others present: Councilmen Robert c:errick, James Vorp, Councilwoman, Carolyn Duddleston, Supervisor Martin Luster, Town Clerk, Marsha Georgia, Highway Superintendent, James Meeker, David Zimet, Zoning Officer, Lou Cartee, Building Inspector, Elizabeth Bixler, Town Attorney, James Mason, Tompkins County Representative. Others Present: Joy Mautner, Catherine Stover, Calista Smith, Ellen Haith, Tom Reitz, Alice Larson, Pennysaver, Mark Vann and Geri Speich, Freepress. Mr. Luster led those assembled in the Pledge of Allegiance to the flag of the United States of America. Mrs. Duddleston moved, seconded by Mr. following resolution: RESOLVED: that the Town Board of minutes of the August 14, 1984 Regular 1984 Public Hearing, and the August 18, all previously t ped and distributed to mously carried. Herrick the adoption of the the Town of Ulysses approve the Board meeting, the August 14, 1984 Special Board Meeting, the Board. Adopted and unani- Mark Vann, Chief of the Trumansburg Fire Department gave his monthly report (see attached). Mr. Vann informed the Board and public that the Fire Department had taken possession of the new tanker approxi- mately two weeks ago and that the men have been undergoing driver training on the new vehicle. Mr. Vann also reported that at the time of the Woodams fire on Cold Springs Road, they encountered problems with the fire hydrant on Route 96. The water for this hydrant is supplied from the Jacksonville Community Pond. Because of the over- growth of the algea and plant life in the pond, the hydrant, when used, became plugged up. Dack-washing did not remedy the situation. At this time the hydrant is not to be used. The residents of Jackson- ville are going to clean the pond and hopefully remedy the problem. Therefore, the water available from the pond is limited for fire pro- tection use. James Mason, Tompkins County Representative, reviewed the Veterans exemption. ::e stated that the exemption could have substantial impact on the tax levy in Tompkins County. The proposed legislation would permit a 10% exemption for all veterans, an additional 15% for all veterans who have served combat duty, and an additional 50; exemption for disabled veterans.. If a veteran had served in combat and is disabled there is a potential of a 75% deduction on assessed value of property, up to a $60,000.00 limit. According to the assessment department, that could impact about a hundred million dollars, available tax base, coupled with the recent action of Cornell University to challenge some of their properties, which is essentially removing another one to two million in property to the tax levy. It is a major concern of the tax base. Mr. Mason said there was no decision made at the legislation meeting. They have asked for additonal information before making a recommendation to the Board. No action has to be taken on the veterans exemption until December 1st. At that time we have to make a decision. It can be separately addressed by both the Town Government and the Village Government. The school districts are not • concerned with this particular exemption. Mr. Luster interjected that the Board has not discussed that yet. He is waiting for some authoritative information, which he now has, and plans to put on the agenda for the October meeting. Fie also hopes to get some projections from the Division of Assessment as to the impact within the town as what this potential exemption means. We have until sometime in January to decide to act on this. If we do nothing the exemptions go into effect. If we pass a local law, we can modify it or eliminate it prior to January, so we have some time on it and Mr. Luster hope to have either a presentation from the Division of Assess- ment or at least have some figures for the 3oard by the October meeting. Mr. Mason added that there are some 10,000 individuals that this would affect and about 8,000 different individual parcels throughout the County. Mr. Mason continued with his report and update on what is Ulysses Town Hoard September 11., 1984 Page 2 $o I CJ I S I happening with the Grant program to assist municipalities in initiating feasibility studies for water systems. There is a draft resolution that has been under discussion with planning and public works and in the Board of Health. Mr. Mason read the resolution to give us an idea on what the County's thinking is. (See attached) The one thing missing from the proposal at this point is that the application shall meet the described criteria. Two of the things that have been discussed in connittee as criteria would be a statement by the Health Department indicating that they support and recognize a need in a particular area and that a public hearing he conducted in the area to be served so that the residents have the opportunity to discuss any active proposals. At this time the Planned Pu;'lic Works Committee is looking for, is what other criteria should be considered in this type of legislation and that he would welcome any input. Mr. Luster introduced Joy Mautner of the Tompkins County Arts Council. Joy was here to speak about a new program, a Decentralization Program. The aim of this program is to re -grant monies in localities using local decision making panels. TC Arts Council has received $15,000.00 from the New York State Council on the Arts to re -grant to Tompkins County. Her council will administer and set up local panels who will review applications. :per council will he there to help applicants through this process, because it is a new program in the County. Joy pointed out the reasons you might want to apply. Basically, this is an opportunity to add to the cultural life in the town and the whole community. A grant can be applied for in two ways. A local group can further professionalize their own organization and also bring in quality groups into the community. In other words, a not -for-profit Arts group could apply and also the Town of Ulysses. She advises each apply, because it is possible for each to receive funding. She brought guidelines and applications with her that she would leave. Applications are due by October 15th; $3,000.00 is the full grant. This could be given in full or partially after the applications are reviewed by a local council. Tom Reitz, President of the United Way announced that September 22nd the United Way Campaign gets underway with around 60 volunteers going door to door in the community. The theme for this year is "Local People Giving, Working and Helping Each Other". There are ten agencies that are serviced. The goal this year is $8,500.00. Last year the goal was $8,000.00 and around $10,000.00 was raised. Mr. Vorn asked if someone who donates through work can earmark the money to Ulysses. Mr. Reitz explained that there are different option plans so that you can delegate the money to your local community. Mr. Herrick moved, seconded by Mr. Voro the adoption of the following resolution: RESOLVED: that the payment; Adopted: Mr. Luster Mr. Herrick Mr. Vorn Mrs. Duddleston previously examined General Fund llos. Highway Fund Nos. Part Town Nos. Aye Aye Aye Aye vouchers be approved for 206-229 $3,011.01 133-144 18,790.39 52-60 293.13 The Supervisor's Financial Report was distributed to the Board (copy attached). Mr. Luster commented that the Town is basically on line with the budget. At the October meeting there will be a quarterly adjustments of the Budget. One troublesome item in the budget is FICA. For some reason it was substantially under estimated and we will be running out of money for that. There are unappropriated funds that can be reappropriated for that. Some smaller areas need to be adjusted. Mr. Luster stated that the contingency account had not been used yet. Mr. Luster has pointed out to Mr. Meeker, Highway Superintendent, that in the 1984 Budget, in the Revenue Sharing appropriations portion we show $25,000.00 appropriated from Revenue Sharing funds to Highway Equipment, purchase and repair, but yet on Revenue side it only shows $10,000.00 for money coming in. There seems to be $15,000.00 just floating, appropriated but not shown as revenue. I have pointed out Ulysses Town Board September 11, 1904 Page 3 to Jim that it would not show up in his budget, but he did have $15,000.00 for repair and purchase. Mr. Meeker had no trouble de- ciding where the money r_onld he used. C I 10 I OLD BUSINESS Mr. Luster commented that a few months ago the Board declared that TV Dish Antennas are considered structures within the meaning of the Zoning Ordinance, and that Building Permits are required. Problems have come up with that policy, the main one is that a number of those structures were installed in the Town before any announcement by the Town of the Towns interpretation of the Zoning Ordinance in the fact they would consider it to he a structure. Due to this problem, it was referred to the Town Attorney. Mrs. Bixler reported that the pos- sible problems she sees in enforcing the zoning for TV Dish Antennas are the preexisting antennas, and peop;e have not been approached by the Town and told they are in violation of the Ordinance. To begin enforcing could result in problems with prosecution. That is if someone did apply for a permit and had it refused and went ahead and put up the dish and then were prosecuted for violating the Ordinance they may have a good chance of arguing that they were being prosecuted discriminatorily, because there are plenty of people who are not being prosecuted. She went on to comment that the Board may want to say that these problems are hypothetical and you can go ahead and try to enforce the Ordinance and get the dishes in its proper place like any other structure. By doing this someone may challenge the Ordinance and alot of time may pass and more dish antennas can be in place. Another way is to amend the Zoning Ordinance. Mr. Luster asked how valid would a Claim of Discriminatory enforcement be if we made a public declaration now that we are administratively declaring amnesty for dishes in place and from this point on enforcing the Ordinance. Mrs. Bixler commented that this would not change the law. Just a public announcement doesn't change the fact other people were under the same law and were allowed to do it and now you can't. Mr. Mason asked if this could It was explained that because of an Ordinance that have bee came in after the Ordinance. tion, where the situation was be considered under Non -Conforming Use. we are seeking to enforce the language i in existance since 1970. The satellites lion -conforming Use is the reverse situa- prior to Zoning. Mr. Reitz again stated that the Zoning needs to be updated. Mr. Luster realizes this and feels that the project would take a good six months of good solid work and that, Yes, it may need doing, but TV Dish Antenna problems need to be addressed now. Mr. Ferrick's feelings are that we need to announce and enforce from here forward. The problem has now come to our attention, it hadn't before. Nobody considered it a problem until they looked out their window and saw it as a problem. Mr. Luster recommends that we announce tonight that permanently in- stalled dishes will be considered structures and the Zoning Ordinance will be enforced with regard to those from this point forward. In the meantime, this is another item to be added to the re -draft of the Zoning Ordinance. Mr. Zimet also recommends to proceed this way to be fair with the people who have had dishes for two years. He also points out that it is not just to enforce people installing them on property lines, but some are installed too close to highways and this could be a safety hazard. Fr. Luster entertained a rotion to direct the Zoning Officer to enforce the Zoning Ordinance with regard to TV Dish Antennas that are fixed in a permanent bed and which are erected or constructed on and after September 12, 1904 and that it is the policy of the Town not to enforce the Ordinance with regard to those structures that have been in exis- tence prior to that date. Robert 5errick motioned, seconded of the aforementioned resolution. Approved: I.r. Vorp blr s. Duddleston hir. '.erri.ck Ir.

Luster asked Geri Spe&c'; (Preepress) and Alice Larson (Pennysaver) to give coverage on this issue. The Planning Board met on the application from Alpine Machine who are seeking a Development District on Route 96. The application is for the establishment of a machine shop which supplies both metal and plastic machine parts to area manufacturers and our function at this point is to set a public hearing date. The Planning Board did recom- mend approval with some reservations and the reservation was that waste materials be disposed of by commercial means, taken off the property and removed. A public hearing was set for 7:30 P.M. on October 2, 1984. 1!r. ':errick asked to be excused from the meeting clue to a conflicting interest. Mr. Luster brought up another matter not on the agenda, under Old ;'asiness. Mr. Parker had filed an application for a Development District.; it went to the Planning Board and they have taken some action; it has gone to the County Health Department. This is for a sub -division of 16 homes on the Perry City Road. The Health Depart- ment is in the process of taking some action with regard to Environ- mental review. A public hearing cannot he set because there isn't information for the public at this point as to the findings of these various other agencies, but we are trying to nake the route as easy as possible for Mr. Parker so that he doesn't get bogged down in red tape, but it is going to be a bit more complicated because it involves more agencies than most applications. Tom Reitz announced that speed limit signs had been placed on the Jacksonville Road. Mr. Luster commented in regard to the Jacksonville Water District. He has contacted a representative from an engineering firm in Albany and he will attend the October meeting. The Board will meet at 7:00 P.M. with Mr. Kappel from Leherge and Co., Albany, who will give a presentation on what his firm can do with regard to the Jacksonville water situation. This will be done without charge. NEW BUSINESS 1%r. Luster brought up the fact that it is Budget time in the Town. The Budget Agenda is as follows: 1.

VORP, Councilman RE: Unexpended revenue sharing money DATE:* September 7, 1984 The 1984 budget shows an appropriation from the Federal Revenue Sharing Fund of $25,000 for highway equipment (in- cluding repairs). The highway revenues-townwide portion of the budget reflects anticipated revenue of only $10,000 from revenue sharing money. I cannot find where the $15,000 difference has been accounted for as revenue in any high- way portion of the budget. Accordingly, it seems that there is $15,000 appropriated for equipment (DA5130.2) of which you may not be aware. If you have need to expend these funds for proper purposes under DA5130.2, please develop your plans and let me know. The Federal Revenue Sharing Regulations require that those funds be spent within a "reasonable time" (generally con- sider to be two years) after receipt. 1 MAL:dao cc: Town Board ToWn Clerk Town Bookkeeper CJ C1 •1 DETOUR RESOLUTION WHEREAS, the New York State Department of Transportation proposes a project for the replacement of Bridge No. 1034300 and approaches carrying Route 89 (S.H. 8509) over Trumansburg Creek, PIN 3021.10 in the Town of Covert, Seneca County.

If your consultant will not, or cannot, provide written details, you will need to hire a local consulting engineer to develop firm, detailed plans for submission to us. We discussed, again, our concern about emptying the lagoons prior to winter. We also discussed the need for several shallow groundwater monitoring wells around the lagoon, which would be installed as part of the modifications. UFinal plans must be submitted several weeks in advance of moving any new animals onto the farm. I would gladly review any preliminary proposal at any time.

Beach Stover, Catherine Stover, ® Tom Reitz, Richard Owlett, Mr. Marvin, Richard Hoffman, Russ Timblin, Dave Osburn, William Osburn, Ken Peworchick. Proof of Legal Notice was read by Marsha Georgia, Town Clerk. Mr. Luster indicated that Councilman Robert Herrick had excused himself from consideration because of a conflict of interest. Mr. Luster pointed out that Councilman Agard has resigned from the Board so therefore three members of the Board constitutes a quorum. Mr. Luster proceeded and read the application (on file in Clerk's Office) from Alpine Machine Inc. requesting a Development District located on Route 96 directly across from the office building of ISA Babcock Breeders, Inc. The Town of Ulysses Planning Board met on September 5, 1984 (minutes on file in Clerk's Office). Mr. Luster reviewed the minutes of the Planning Board. The Ulysses Planning Board recommends that the Town Board approve the application with the stipulation that waste materials be disposed of by commercial means. Mr. Luster asked if there were any comments in regard to this application. Tom Reitz spoke in favor of the application stating that he himself has been the machine trade since 1969, and that he can visualize an increase tax base as well as a benefit to area residents. M. Beach Stover spoke in favor of the application. Mr. Stover commented that he likes to see the growth of new business in the Town. Richard Owlett expressed his positive opinion of the application and thought it would help the Town. Mr. Luster asked if there were any other comments or questions from the Board. Mr. Vorp asked what type of plastic parts. Mr. Osburn responded that mainly they would be just machining plastic parts. They would not be involved in any form of molds. They do not produce their own parts. Hearing no other comments and/or questions, Mr. Luster explained that to facilitate things a notice was posted in regard to a Special Board • Meeting to take place tonight for the purpose of action on this applica- tion. Mr. Luster closed the Public Hearing, and called to order the Special Board Meeting.

Reynolds, H. W. Smith, B. Stover, R. Backer, S. Reulein, R. Weatherby, guest James Seafuse, A. Beers, eec, Minutes of the August meeting were approved as typed and distributed to Board members and the Town Board. Mr. Reynolds brought up the problem of sub -divisions in the Township. The Town's Zoning Ordinance does not have a section on sub -divisions. Discussion included the problem of town maintenance of roads in a sub -division. ® Next on the agenda was discussion of the economic development in the Township. There seems to be a lack of interest in the Township, and especially in the Village of Trumansburg for development. Attention was drawn to the presence of empty business properties in the village. Out side of the village stress was laid on the absence of water availability, especially in the Jacksonville area where the contamination of well water creates a problem. Mr. Backer brought up the question of farmers paying for water lines going across their property (farm land). Mr. Reulein again suggested the Town try to hitch on to the water lines ending in the Town of Ithaca just north of the professional building, which would increase the desirability of business expansion in the Town. Business expansion would increase the tax base in the Town. It was also brought out the necessity of stream -lining the process of a prospective business meeting the requirements to set up operation - paper work, approval under Town laws, environmental and Health Department regulations. It was agreed that the influx of business in the Township would also influence the influx of new homes Mr. Seafuse spoke to the Planning Board about the paper work required by the Zoning Ordinance and particularly the new State Fire and Building code for new structures (homes, etc.) in the Town and the time-consuming procedure entailed. The Board was asked by the Town Councilmen to report in October on suggestions for the economic development of the Township. Mr. Reynolds, assisted by Mr. Backer is to prepare said report for submission to the Town Board a ctober 8 meeting. A. er 89Z q0 TOWN OF ULYSSES SPECIAL BOARD MEETING October 4, 1984 PURPOSE: to review tentative budget. PRESENT: Martin Luster, Supervisor, Carolyn Duddleston, Councilwoman; Robert Herrick; Councilman, James Meeker, Highway Superintendent, Marsha Georgia, Town Clerk I OTHERS PRESENT: Doug Duddleston, Joy Heila, Tom Reitz, Paula Mount, Depty. Clerk/Receiver of Taxes, Aileen Beers, Arlee Robinson, Barb Carrigan, Jeanne Vanderbilt. • Mr. Luster called the Special Board Meeting to order at 7:35 P.M. He announced that this was not the public hearing on the budget and wished all comments to be reserved until after the board had reviewed the budget line by line. Mr. Luster had previously handed out a 1984 Tentative Budget Overview and advised the Board to look this over. Mr. Luster proceeded: Town Board A1010.1 No change A1010.4 Increase of $75.00 Add line item A1010.2 $250.00 for fire proof files Mr. Luster again asked that no comments be made from the public, until after the review by the Board. Justicee A1110.1 Increase $900.00 for Clerk hours A1110.4 Reduced $435.00 due to transfer of postage into central printing & mailing A1110.2 Increase $250.00 for fire proof files Supervisor A1220.01 No change A1220.04 No change A1220.02 Increase $250.00 fire proof files Auditing A1320.04 $1000.00 Reserve for outside auditing firm new item to be added to yearly - Audit in three years. Tax Collector A1330.01 Increase S100.00 A request by the Tax Collector of $2,240.00 was received. Mr. Luster said in addition to the $100.00 increase given to tax collector that there is a $200.00 increase in the proposed budget for Deputy Town Clerk. He suggested moving this $200.00 increase into the tax collector position and reduce Deputy Town Clerk, which would keep this budgeted at $4,000.00. Mrs. Georgia commented that the Deputy Town Clerk budgeted amount; without a 5% increase would be $4,700.00. This covers two days a week, 2 weeks clerk vacation and twelve (12) clerk sick days. She pointed out that this was under -budgeted last year. Last year's budget was made up as if tax collector and deputy clerk were the same position. • It is not the same position and has to be considered as such. The Board had previously approved a Deputy Town Clerk for 2 days a week. With the original increase in 1985 budget of $200.00 this position would still be under budgeted by $500.00. Mrs. Georgia stated you can't take $200.00 from Deputy Town Clerk budget and transfer to the Tax Collector. Mr. Luster commented that this came about when Mrs. Mount, Deputy Clerk had made the statement that she didn't need a pay increase. Mrs. Georgia again pointed out it did not cover the two days a week. This budget is for 1985 and for two positions, which can be two people. You cannot consider it as one. Mr. Luster asked if there were any motions on the Tax Collector salary. Mrs. Mount, Tax Collector, explained that in past years the - Town Clerk assumed many of the Tax Collector duties. •This year, 1984, the Tax Collector was on her own, except for overflow, when the Deputy TOWN OF ULYSSES SPECIAL BOARD MEETING Page 2 qI Tax Collector would help out. A record was kept of actual hours spent in the Tax Collector position and the hours worked divided into the $800.00 salary came out to $1.97 per hour. The job runs from one week in December through and including the first week in June. Actual hours spent in 1984 was 408. Again, it depends on who is collecting taxes and the hours they set. As Tax Collector, Mrs. Mount was here and available all hours the building was open to the public. Mrs. Mount commented that she was merely requesting that the Board up -grade this position to at least minimum wage. The figure submitted of $2,240.00 represents $5.00 per hour. Even at minimum wage, for 408 hours in this position, minimum wage would be $1545.60. Mr. Luster commented that the hours seem to be out of line with the task and perhaps the office hours are too long and too frequent and perhaps now the taxes can be collected in a shorter period of time and the Collector doesn't need to be here. Compared to other towns, and the office schedule, it is probably the most liberal in the County, in terms of availability to the public, which is nice, but it costs money. Mrs. Mount stated that the job is indeed a time consuming' one, with many responsibilities --and that regardless of hours spent, the Board should consider at least a minimum wage. Mrs. Georgia commented that 240 of the Deputy Clerk hours had been put under Tax Collector, because it was assumed it would be the same person, and that Paula ran for the position only because she was going to be Deputy Clerk, Period - to keep it in the office. Those 240 hours came out of what would have been budgeted for Deputy Clerk. Mr. Herrick questioned the distribution of hours between the two positions. Mrs. Georgia said the Tax Collector can say she will only collect two days a week, but the public doesn't read that - so what do you say, "I don't collect taxes today, sorry?" Mr. Luster commented that we may have to say that - like any other enterprise, we have hours and these are the hours. These hours don't reflect any of the time spent by the Deputy Tax Collector. Discussion took place regarding hours on both positions. Mr. Luster asked for any motions to modify the Tentative budget in regard to the Tax Collector. Hearing none, the Tentative Budget was left at $900.00 for Tax Collector A1330.01. Town Clerk requests a salary of $18,000.00. Mr. Luster has pro- posed nee tentative budget a salary of $12,936.00 - a 7.8% increase the same as proposed for Highway Superintendent. Mrs. Georgia justified the request by stating that the request was to get the position of Town Clerk in line with other Clerks in the County. She indicated increased responsibilities of the position; hours the office is opened, plus hours spent at night meetings, and • doing the clerk work for the Zoning and Building Inspector. Mr. Luster stated that one of the proposals the Board has discussed. was to increase the Clerks salary to $13,500. on line A1410.01 and then (down the line under Bldg and Fire Code) to take a portion of that appropriation, $500.00, and designate the Town Clerk as Clerk to the Building Inspector; one of the legitimate arguments the Town Clerk has is the added responsibilities as a result of the enactment of the Uniform Fire Prev. Building Code. Mr. Luster entertained the motion to increase the Town Clerk's salary to $13,500.00 and an additional $500.00 down the line. Mr. Herrick motioned, seconded by Mrs. Duddleston. Unanimously approved. Line A1410.01 also includes the Deputy Clerk. Mrs. Georgia reiterated what was originally discussed concerning Deputy Clerk budget. Without a pay increase this amount should be $4 700.00. Mrs. Georgia explained the number of hours needed for Deputy Clerk.

TOWN OF ULYSSES SPECIAL BOARD MEETING Page 4 q3 General Fund Revenue: Lieu of Taxes A1081 A new item. These are for certain properties that were taken off the tax rolls by a special contract with the Industrial Development Agencies, we get paid a lump sum --approximately the same as if they had remained on the tax rolls. We must bill it. Int/Penalty A1090 Interest and penalties received on late taxes.

Under proposed system, we will be able to keep all fees, there is an increase in the dog fees anticipated in this figure. Fines/Pen.-Dogs A2611 Anticipated increase of $150.00. Mr. Luster referred back to A2544 Dog Licenses --that is the amount anticipated by the SPCA under the present enumeration. This amount would have been retained by the County under the prior system, but we can keep it under the proposed new system. Under A2590, Town Dogs, this is the amount anticipated by the SPCA including a 5% increase as a result of the dog enumeration. The SPCA says 25%.• The A2611 line, which is $550.00 is the amount projected by the SPCA, for vigorous enforcement. Since Ulysses is the lowest in the County, Mr. Luster doesn't see how much more vigorous we can get. Other A2770 Misc. refunds NYS Per Capita A3001A Advised by the State to expect an increase. NYS Special Aid A3001B Never had it broken out in the budget before, started a couple of years ago. It is special state aid and is in addition to regular Per Capita Aid. NYS MortgTax A3005 Depends on many things, the economy, interest rates, activity of real estate transfers in the town. NYS Aging A3772 Shows the $1300. matching funds as indicated earlier. NYS Youth A3820 Shows the $3000.00 matching funds. The figure of $1852 under Fire and Bldg. is a fluke. We received money for fire and building code enforcement in 1983. We expect to receive money for that in 1985, but you will see it later on in the Part Town budget. Mr. Luster indicated that it•was hoped for an Unexpended balance in 1984 from the General Fund of $18,400. This is based on projections that were made assuming that'.we spend every dollar budgeted and assumingr:that we received every dollar we were entitled to, we should wind up with 818,400, in our pocket at the end of the year. Highway/Town: Bridges DA5120-01 Discussion concerning this amount. Prior budget of $2000. Reduced to $500.00 TOWN OF ULYSSES SPECIAL BOARD MEETING Page 5 Never been established as a Reserve fund.

Pretty much in line with what can be expected. -04 Increase, based upon the Highway projection. I C I 0 Li Discussion ensued concerning a Reserve amount for machinery. It has been assumed that monies were being put aside every year and accumula- ting for replacement of machinery. It was pointed out that there was no "reserve" fund such as this. Mr. Rice and Mr. Herrick voiced their concern that there was no such fund; feeling that it was a very necessary item. This item was tabled for further discussion prior to the November 7th, 1984 Public Hearing on Budget. Discussion took place concerning the difference between an unexpended cash amount and a reserve amount. A reserve account must specify what it is for.

Georgia Town Clerk TOWN OF ULYSSES SPECIAL BOARD MEETING October 9, 1984 The Special Board Meeting was called to order by Mr. Luster, Town Supervisor, at 7:00 P.M. The purpose of the meeting was to discuss the Jacksonville Water District. Present: Tom Reitz, James Mason, Ithaca Journal representative, Mrs. Stoughton, Roland Reynolds Bill Savey, Paula Mount, Katherine Stover, Mr; Fisher, Seville Ruoiin, Geri Speich, James Vorp, Carolyn Duddleston, Robert Herrick, Marsha Georgia, Clyde Robbins of Labarge Engineering and Martin Luster. Mr. Luster introduced Mr. Clyde Robbins of Labarge Engineering, Albany, ® Now York, Mr. Luster had sent Mr. Robbins an outline of the problem• in Jacksonville, • the latest report from the County Health Department, maps of the area, etc. to see if they could help us out of our dilemma and give us some direction and advice. Mr. Robbins indicated he had looked over the materials received from Mr. Luster. When originally contacted, it was just short of the HUD deadline and was just not timely to attempt to put together an appli- cation for the Department of Housing and Urban Development. It was a good year because this particular year carried both 1983 and 1984 monies. The next round for BUD (will be due in either March 1st or April 1st) will be that around January 1st you should be putting an application together. If interested in going for a HUD Grant, which is a 100% or Block Grant, they are going to keep their program the same as it was this year. Will have to do an income survey. Mr. Robbins left a copy of applicants accepted by Farmers Home Administration, although he indicated he was not here to discuss the Farmers Home Grant. The application he brought is acceptable by both HUD and Farmers Home Administration, Mr. Robbins went on to say that the Farmers Home Administration Program is a 75% Grant, and the remaining is loan. That is up to 75%. Generally to qualify for this grant you must have a general family income of $13,500. (Family indicates both husband and wife). A minimum of 75% of the people must meet that criteria; they like to see 90% of the families meet the criteria. Mr. Luster stated that a house -to -house survey had been conducted in Jacksonville with about 65% responding. He asked if the geo- graphic boundries of an area could be changed to aid in getting the needed figures. Mr. Robbins indicated what the survey forms should ir._lude; having the persons name on the form is not necessary. This is a very important item. Also, need to have the time to explain the form and answer questions, and door-to-door seems to work the best. Further discussion ensued concerning the type of survey needed. The first step is to form a Water District. Also needed is a map done by a registered engineer, drawing boundries and needs to file a report with Audit and Control. This report is not necessarily • the same as for the Board of Health. Basically the report is going to say what you intend to do with this water district and how you intend to capitalize it. Audit and Control has no jurisdiction over the report unless there is capitalization of the project. So if you are not capitalizing the project, you do not have to wait for them to approve the report. Mr. Robbins indicated that he doesn't really recommend that way. Be said that we' attempt to make the report where we are reflecting at least an FHA, because if we are going to submit this to Farmers Home we must take into consideration that there is a 25% local share. The formation of a Water District, just for Audit and Contj..1, costs approximately $5,000. You have the cost of the appli. ition of $2,500. and the coat of formation of the water district. Mr. Robbins went on to say that in the past year, 1983-84, he received 4 grants through FHA and 3 grants through HUD. If you go FHA, if TOWN OF ULYSSES q/ SPECIAL BOARD MEETING October 9, 1984 Page 2 the area qualifies, and it should; it's a sure thing. There are no other government programs for water. Mr. Robbins read several grants that had been approved. Approximately five million in FHA Grants this year. With FHA there is a lot of work, but if you meet the criteria, they work. Discussion of attracting businesses to the area took place. If you want to attract, there is money available to attract; if you have industry set up a meeting with HUD, ask for UDAD and HUD will tell you how to do it. It can be used to our advantage, but not at this time. Jacksonville's location between Ithaca and Trumansburg discussed concerning whether feasible to get water from one of those areas. Am Third alternative is to bring it directly from the lake which would be more costly because of the need for a water treatment system. Mr. Robbins felt that tying into either Trumansburg or Ithaca would be the most cost effective way for Jacksonville to go, and in the best interest of the project. The best course of action is to discuss the possibility of tying in with one or the other systems close by. Do a survey of the area and then draw lines for the district. Establish water district. Use the USGA maps and mark them up. There is an office in Ithaca. Mr. Luster asked how to define the lines. Mr. Robbins said not to draw actual district boundries until after the survey and made a determination if the survey is good or not. Get the lines to coincide with the survey that you want. The Health Department is already involved here and we can get help from the County people. Do the survey, look it over and then determine where you want the lines drawn. it was concluded that the survey can be done locally. Mr. Luster asked for a time line. In terms of getting the survey done, depends on us; can probably get the survey done inside of a week or whatever time period desired.As far as putting the application together, the first thing that must be done is to create a water district. You are looking at two to three months for both the application and the water district. Processing time from FHA depends on the office. Where the source of supply is gning to be must be determined, James Mason stated that the 1985 Tompkins County Budget is estab- lishing a $15,000. grant to assist municipalities in feasibility studies OR 75% for study. We could apply for some of these monies. Mr. Luster commented that we need $7,500. to cover application and establishing a water district. This money would be good to use for these purposes. These two items are not fundable by FHA. Once you get a committment, everything from there on is fundable by FHA. Grants as high as three million dollars have been received from FHA. FHA is suppose to be for the rural community. Mr. Reitz asked if a dollar value could be given per foot of line for water. Mr. Robbins responded that roughly $35 to $38 per foot, this includes contingency, etc. • Bidding of the project was discussed. It was pointed out by Mr. Robbins that bidding is difficult, that services may differ. The problem of pollution in the Jacksonville area was discussed. Certainly have a reason' to go for a water district, and show the reason to qualify. But, a source of water must be determined. Mr. Luster thanked Mr. Robbins for coming, and adjourned the meeting. Marsha L. Georgia Town Clerk MG/pm ��C /, ULYSSES TOWN BOARD REGULAR MONTHLY MEETING October 9, 1984 The Regular Monthly Meeting of the Ulysses Town Board was called to order at 8:00 PM by Martin Luster, Supervisor, who then led those present in the Pledge of Allegiance to the Flag of the United Steles of America. Present: James Meeker, Highway Superintendent, James Vorp, Councilman, Carolyn Duddleston, Councilwoman, Robert Herrick, Councilman, Marsha Georgia, Town Clerk, Elizabeth Bixler, Town Attorney, Martin Luster, Supervisor. Others Present: Tom Reitz, James Mason, Ithaca Journal representative; Mrs. Stoughton, Roland Reynolds, Bill Savey, Paula Mount, Marilyn Ough, Katherine Stover, Mr. Fisher, Seville Ruelein, Geri Speich, Freepress, Bill Smith, Mr. Brown and others. Minutes of the Board Meeting of September 11, 1984, Special Board Meeting of October 2, 1984, and the Public Hearing of October 2, 1984 were available. Robert Herrick moved, seconded by Carolyn Duddleston to approve the minutes. Unanimously approved. Mrs. Georgia, Town Clerk gave the report for the Trumansburg Fire Department stating•a total of 12 fire calls, 5 in the Town of Ulysses; 16 ambulance calls, 6 in the Town of Ulysses. It was noted that the Department has been working with Tom Reitz concerning the Jacksonville Pond. (copy of report in Clerk's Office). Mr. Reitz elaborated on what was being done with the intakt pipes at the pond. The situation should be corrected shortly. James Mason, representative from Tompkins County reported. For the first time in many years there has been a loss in the net tax base, countywide. It amounts to a•9.8 million loss. Primarily in three areas, one in the Town of Lansing, because of the Morse Chain settlement, another in the Town of Groton -a direct result of Smith Corona and finally the City of Ithaca because of the recent purchasing of Cornell property that is exempt from taxation. This is an additional concern when looking at the poten- tial impact of the Veterans Tax Exempt Program. He went on to indicate that at this point that the County is probably inclined not going to give the full exemption. Mr. Luster indicated that according to figures given to us by Don Franklin for the Town of Ulysses, our taxable assesed evaluation has gone up for the first time in several years. It has gone up about nine hundred thou- sand dollars. Mr. Mangle, Tompkins County Planning was to have reported on TomTran. As he was not able to attend the meeting, Mr. Mason reported that a major step had been reached in establishing a Ulysses/NewfiAld transit system. The system is scheduled to start in January 1985 and will be operated by Cornell Transit System. It will operate Monday through Friday from 6AM until 10:30AM and from 1:00PM until 7PM. and will use two full size buses. The cash fare from Ulysses to Ithaca will be $1.25. Mr. Mason indicated that if there is not the ridership and the interest is not there, the service will not continue. One of the nice features of these buses is that they are connected by intercom, so that connections can be made if you are going to, say Cornell, or TC3. Mr. Herrick motioned, seconded by Mr. Luster, the adoption of the following resolution: BE IT RESOLVED: on behalf of the residents of the Town of Ulysses and the Town Board, our thanks to the County Board of Supervisors, and especially to James Mason for his efforts on behalf of the residents of the community to finally bring this service of TomTran to fruition. Adopted: Mrs. Duddleston Aye Mr. Vorp Aye Mr. Herrick Aye Mr. Luster Aye ULYSSES TOWN BOARD -{1 October 9, 1984 Page 2 Mr. Luster called on Roland Reynolds, Chairman of the Town Planning Board. In March of 1984, the Town Board asked the Planning Board to undertake the study with regard to economic development within the Town and to submit a written report to the Town Board by October 15th, 1984. They have been working hard to meet their deadline and have submitted a written report which Mr. Reynolds briefly detailed. (report in the Clerk's office). Mr. Luster thanked Mr. Reynolds and read the summation from the report as follows: The Town Board should take a more active role in encouraging the development and/or expansion of local businesses. UThe Town Board should oversee the development of Zoning practices that assist in the process of establishing or expanding business. The applicant should know from his first contact with the Town, exactly what is needed and what is expected at each step of the process. The Town Board should take the leadership role in the promotion of tourism. The Town must work to expand and dissiminate information regarding the natural wonders and the significant history of the Town of Ulysses„ Mr. Luster introducted Mr. Richard Burton, Ulysses representative to the Environmental Management Council. The Council meets every third Tuesday of the month. They have dealt with Route 13 alternates, and gave a general idea of other projects. He suggested that the Council hold a meeting at our Town Hall and invite the public. This could be done around the first of the year. The Board thought this would be a very good idea and extended the invitation. Mr. W. Smith announced that the family of William Agard were unable to attend the meeting due to Bill Agard's death. Carolyn Duddleston motioned, seconded by Robert Herrick the approval of the following resolution: RESOLVED: that the previously examined vouchers be approved for payment; General Fund Nos. 230-242 $ 2;067.25 Highway Fund Nos. 145-157 35,843.86 SPart Town Nos. 61-66 329.34 Adopted: Mr. Luster Aye Mr. Herrick Aye Mrs. Duddleston Aye Mr. Vorp Aye The Supervisors Financial Report was distributed. (copy attached). OLD BUSINESS A. Most present were here when Mr. Robbins discussed the Jacksonville Water District. Mr. Luster said it gave us food for thought. It would entail doing a survey of the Jacksonville area and using forms that have been approved by the Farmers Home Administration and HUD. Many things to do and discuss. Mr. Mason commented that he had found Mr. Robbins' very informative. B. Proposal from Blue Cross/Blue Shield. Motioned by Robert Herrick, seconded by Carolyn Duddleston adoption of the following resolution: RESOLVED: that the Supervisor be authorized to execute the 1985 contract with Blue Cross/Blue Shield of Central NY. Adopted: Mr. Herrick Aye • Mrs. Duddleston Aye Mr. Vorp Aye Mr. Luster Aye NEW BUSINESS Mr. Luster indicated that at some time in the future, plans will be made to enlarge the present building in some modest way and that the annex• be the William Agard Annex, in his memory. Robert Herrick introduced, and indicated in so doing that Bill was aware of the Board's intent to do this before he died, the motion, seconded by James Vorp the adoption of the following resolution: RESOLUTION WHEREAS, William Agard has faithfully served the Town of Ulysses for many years and WHEREAS, William Agard has tendered his resignation as a Ulysses Town Councilman and said resignation has been accepted and ULYSSES TOWN BOARD October 9, 1984 Page 3 WHEREAS, the Town of Ulysses is indebted to this devoted public servant THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED: that the annex to be added to the existing Ulysses Town Hall be known as the WILLIAM AGARD ANNEX and that such fact be commenorated by an appropriate plaque to be permanently affixed thereto. Adopted: Mr. Herrick Aye Mr. rVorp Aye Mrs. Duddleston Aye Mr. Luster Aye Due to Bill's death, there is a vacancy on the Board. Mr. Luster asked if there were any nominations to fill this vacancy. Bill had resigned as of October 1st by letter and since his resignation was after September 20th, the vacancy is to be filled by the Town Board and the person will hold office until the next General Election. A letter was sent to both the Republican and Democratic parties for their nomination, and to date no reply has been received. Mr. Vorp motioned, seconded by Mr. Herrick to table taking action on filling the vacancy, but to solicit names. Unanimously approved. Mr. Luster asked if anyone was interested, or had a name of someone who is interested in filling this position. Thomas Reitz stepped forward to indicate that he is interested and has been for many years and will send his resume and cover•letter. Bob Weatherby introduced himself and indicated that he too, was interested. Jim Brown spoke in favor of Bob Weatherby, that Bob being a farmer, and this being an agricultural area, would benefit the community. Carolyn Duddleston had received a call from Richard Durling, who expressed his interest. Action on this issue was'tabled until the November Board meeting. Mr. Herrick asked that in the meantime, that the individuals interested in this position submit written resum6s. Mr. Luster had two additions to the agenda. One is a resolution that has been distributed to the Board with the financial report, which is a budget amendment --this has been done every quarter to bring the budget up to reality. The proposed amendment to the budget would call for an increase in the General Fund unallocated insurance account of $50.00, the source for that money would be Interest and Earnings in the General Fund; it would increase the Part Town budget $750.00 for payroll, $60.00 for Social Security that was underestimated and $415.00 for Health Ins. and the source for that money would be Interest and Earnings on the Revenue Sharing Fund, that portion of the Revenue Sharing Fund earmarked for Part Town use, and we would increase under the Highway Fund, the Health Insurance account by $2,270.00 and the source of that money would be Unanticipated revenues from Other Government. The source of all of these increases in appropriations, rather than being unappropriated surpluses as in the last two quarters, in this case are unanticipated. resources, thus we are not touching the Contingency Account and we are still using surplus money. Mr. Luster asked for a•resolution to amend • the budget as indicated. Carolyn Duddleston moved, seconded by Robert Herrick to amend the budget as requested. Unanimously approved. One other additional item, at the Special Board Meeting held on October 4th, the preliminary budget was discussed. As a result of that discussion, at that Special Meeting, Mr. Luster drafted an Open Letter to Town Pro- perty Owners that he proposes to publish as a paid advertisement. Mr. Luster read the letter (copy attached), and asked for the consensus of the Board as to whether or not they wish to proceed with publication. Mr. Herrick and Mr. Vorp felt the letter to be frank and addressed the issues. it was decided to go ahead and publish the fetter, at least in the Freepress. Mr. Herrick mentioned that he felt it was money well spent to have informative matters published; legals are not read; that having something published in a manner to catch the eye was much better. Mr. Luster mentioned that approximately 15 people had attend ad the (bL ULYSSES TOWN BOARD October 9, 1984 Page 4 public hearing on Cable TV. He gave a brief report concerning this meeting. Robert Herrick suggested changing the format of the meeting at this point and holding the discussion on the Veteran's Real Property Tax Exemption until after the reports are given. REPORTS Marsha Georgia, Town Clerk reported that $997.09 was collected•in the month of September. $214.81 was turned over to the Supervisor, $210.00 turned over to the Town of Ithaca. James Meeker, Highway Superintendent reported (copy attached). He thanked the Town Board for the new jack. Mrs. Georgia read the Zoning Report. Seven building permits were approved in September, several violations and contact with violators at nine different locations. (see copy of report attached). Lou Cartee, Building Inspector reported. Total construction costs of $138,600.00 was submitted for permits in the month of September. Three applicants for TV Dish Antennas this week, so apparently it is working. Mr. Cartee reminded the Board that this is the sixth month that he has been in our Town and that the contract is running out. Mr. Luster indicated that he has been in contact with the Town of Ithaca concerning this. Mr. Vorp thanked Mr. Cartee for the fine job. (copy of report attached). Mr. Meeker extended an invitation to the Board to come to the Town Barns to go over equipment. Arrangements will be made to do so. Mr. Luster welcomed Marilyn Ough, former Town Clerk and former council- man, William Smith. He announced on behalf of Sam Demus that the Ulysses Philomathic Library will hold its third annual Candlelight Buffet on Saturday, November 3, 1984 at 6:30PM in the Presbyterian Chapel --everyone is invited. Mr. Luster opened the discussion of the Veteran's Real Property Tax Exemption by announcing the timetable the Board has in mind. Tonight is not•a Public Hearing, but will be happy to listen to members of the public,within reason, and there will be a Public Hearing. Mr. Luster gave a brief run down on what the law proposes, what the options are, what the County Division of Assessment has sent and then listen to comments. The tentative schedule is that one or more local laws will be introduced at the November meeting, at which time a Public Hearing date will be fixed for the consideration of these proposals. The Public Hearing will be held sometime between November 20th and December 11th with action, if the timetable works out, by the Board at the December meeting. Our position, either by inaction or action, must be in place by January 1985. Mr. Luster went on to say that we do not have a copy of the proposed law, all we have is a hand-out from the State of New York Division of Equaliza- tion and Assessment explaining what they say the law is. (copy attached). In general, the proposed alternative veterans exemption is based on a percentage of assessed value with certain maximum levels of exemption. • It is limited to the primary residence of a veteran and is available to an honorably discharged veteran or certain members of their family as defined in the law, who served during the Spanish-American War, the Mexican Border period, WWI, WWII, Korean War and VietNam War. If the Town does nothing, the full benefit of the proposed exemption is auto- matically enforced as of May, 1985. It would affect the 1986 Town Budget. The Town has a choice of doing nothing, allowing the full benefit to go into effect, or by local law eliminating the benefits entirely; which would leave in effect the currently inforce veteran's benefits, and that program would remain in effect or the Town can reduce the benefit by 25% or by 50% depending on what type of law is passed. A qualifying veteran would automatically receive an exemption of 15% of the assessed value of his primary residence. An additional 10% is available if the veteran can document service in a combat theater or zone (run for a 10 year period); there is an additional exemption where a veteran has received a service related disability and that additional exemption is equal to 50% of the disability rating --so that if a veteran is 100% disabled, the additional exemption would be 50% on top of the prior two exemptions which total 25%.

The Lng each of the categories by 25% or each it's full benefits, no benefits, 75% of Those are the four options. Mr. Luster addressed Mr. Mason as to his understanding. His concern is that there are no figures on how many parcels will be affected. The Veterans Association has been working very hard with Don Franklin. Currently there are in the Town of Ulysses, 84 veterans who are exempt. There is a possibility of as many as 756 parcels exempt. Mr. Luster indicated that he had written to the Division of Assessment to get their projected impact on the Town of Ulysses. A letter was read in response (see attached copy). If all the figures are accurate and if all these veterans demand all that is available to them, it would ® be an automatic 10.5% increase in taxes in 1986 with no other increase whatsoever. It could mean, using our increase for this year of 14%, and assuming this figure remained the same, an increase of 25% in the Town taxes. Mr. Luster asked for comments from the Town Board. Mr. Herrick deferred comment until he had heard from the public. William Savay asked how many veterans were present. There was a show of hands. He asked for a few minutes to voice some comments and men- tioned he spoke before the Trumansburg Village Board concerning this issue. He felt that this allows the Korean and VietNam veterans to have a tax benefit, and a very small price to pay. He feels that it would be a great disservice by the Town government not to pass on to the veteran, these exemptions. Mr. Savay asked that each Board member reconsider any thoughts they had on voting on this matter, to stand up and be counted, and to vote No on this issue. Mr. Luster thanked Mr. Savay for his comments, and asked if anyone else wished to comment. Robert Herrick, as a veteran, suggested some things to consider in this regard. From the point of view of a grass roots legislator, Mr. Herrick voiced his resentment of State government passing on the en- forcement of regulations to the local government. Mr. Herrick went on to say what this grateful nation has given the veteran and the benefits should be coming from the 'grateful' State of New York rather than dumping the responsibilities on the Town of Ulysses; Town of Enfield, etc. If the State of New York wants to do this, let them offer out of their general treasury. Mr. Herrick would like to see a resolution sent to the State of New York condemning the poor quality of this legislation. The State put the law through, but they took the funding out of it. It is a very discriminating law; on the other hand a more equitable way to handle it would be that every veteran that can substantiate his/her status, be given a tax deduction on his New York ® State Income Tax? That would not be discriminatory. If this measure is accepted, it will stand for ten years, and the Town cannot get out of it. Mr. Luster stated that getting into a general • discussion tonight was to do exactly what has happened, that is to get people thinking about the issue, and seeing more than one side. Mr. Luster asked Elizabeth Bixler to draft a proposed local law rejecting the benefits completely and perhaps in line with this discussion adding in there a provision setting forth our concerns with a recommendation for remedial State legislation. The second law would reduce the benefits 75% and the third law, 50%. All three to be on the table at the Novem- ber meeting, solely for the purpose of having the law on the desks of the legislators seven days before action. At the November meeting a Public Hearing will be scheduled on each of the proposed laws and then a Special Meeting or the Regular December Meeting can take an official position. Mr. Luster entertained a motion to adjourn. Motion made by James Vorp, seconded by Carolyn Duddleston. Meeting adjourned at 10:30 PM. Marsha L.

Rank: ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT REPORT TOWN OF ULYSSES Prepared by: PLANNING BOARD TOWN OF ULYSSES October 1, 1984 ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT TOWN OF ULYSSES CHARGE: BE IT RESOLVED: that pursuant to Section 274 and Section 275 of the Town Law, the Ulysses Town Planning Board be and it hereby is requested to review the economic conditions of the Town and make re- commendations on the basis of such review to the Town Board with respect to actions it deems desirable to improve the economic climate and commercial activity therein. It is FURTHER RESOLVED: that in conducting the foregoing review, the Planning Board consult with the Planning Board of the Village of Trumansburg, the Trumansburg Area Chamber of Commerce, the Tompkins County Planning Department, the Tompkins County Area Development Cor- poration and such other agencies and organization as may render advice and assistance. It is FURTHER RESOLVED: that the Town Board request that a preliminary report be made to it by the Planning Board on or before October 15, 1984 with regard to the subject of this Resolution. CHARGE Received by Planning Board March 15, 1984. Initial consideration of this charge resulted in the discussion of limits of scope of the topic and consideration of persons to be added to the committee and potential consultants available to assist in our task. The consultants contacted included: Mr. Jeffrey Stein, graduate student in city planning, Cornell University. Mr. Stein had experience in the field of Community Development; Mr. Richard Owlett, Chairman of the Trumansburg Chamber of Commerce; Mr. Joseph Gentilli, Tompkins County Planning Board. Guests: Mr. Larry Reverby attended a few meetings and participated. Note: The Village of Trumansburg was contacted relative to adding membership to the Planning Board for this project. No participation was forthcoming. Points of Discussion Mr. Stein: Major points of discussion centered on assessment of current strengths and weaknesses of the following areas: Land area available Major Transportation access Water -Sewage availability Labor Force Skills and numbers Mr. Richard Owlett: Discussed proposed questionnaire he had prepared relative to business activity in the Trumansburg area - No results forthcoming. Mr. Joseph Gentilli states the economic development of the Town of Ulysses as being geared to gradual growth, stressing the protection • and maintenance of our scenic beauty, quality of life and the develop- ment of industries or potential industries and services already present. He did not recommend the recruitment of outside industry as a main goal. Follow -Up Discussions by Planning Board Much discussion evolved relative to the pros and cons of creating a route 96 business strip. It seems quite evident that this area pro- vides the best access to major transportation routes and holds the greatest potential for the development of a water district. Based on the major constraints of transportation and water, discussion shifted to the potential of the home workship type businesses. Several such operations now exist that add to the quality of services in the Town. In addition to the above, discussion was held relative to expanding ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT PLANNING BOARD Page 2 1 regarding the natural wonders of Ulysses. LI RR/pm U [II the rewards of tourism. The Town's natural beauty and historic past might be developed into a greater community asset. Summary Assets: Land availability Labor Force available Natural Beauty Historic Past Constraints: Poor access to major transportation routes and services Lack of municipal water Lack of municipal sewage disposal Recommendations The Town Board should take a more active role in encouraging the development and/or exoanaion of local businesses. The Town Board should oversee the development of zoning practices that assist in the process of establishing or expanding business. The applicant should know from his first contact with the Town, exactly what is needed and what is expected at each step of the process. The Town Board should take the leadership role in the of tourism. The Town must work to expand and dissiminate and the significant history Respectfully Submitted, iRoland Reynolds October 9, 1984 promotion information of the Town MLGF 09/30/84 PAGE 1 01 -Payroll 02 -Equipment 04 -Contractual 08 -Employee Benefits BUDGET STATUS -SEPTEMBER 30, 1984 ---------------------------- ? of % GENERAL APPROP ------------------------------------------------------ FUND BUDGET BUDGET EXPENDED BALANCE AVAILABLE -------------------- Town Board AIOIO-01 $9000.00 5.31%. $6734.24 $2265.76 25.18?. -04 $800.00 0.471. $779.06 +� �f� r,. 2.62% Justices A111O-01 $12200.00 7.20% $88136.96 $3333.04 27.32% -04 $2845.00 1.68%. $1226.11 $1618.89✓ 56.90% Supervisor A1220-01 $10000.00 5.90?. $7395.15 r260&'85 26.05% -04 $1100.00 0.65% $789.50 ;x/28.23% Tax Collector A13:i0-01 $800.00 0.471 $800.00 $0.00 0.00'!. ® -04 $820.00 0.48% $74.00 $746.00' 90.98% M own Clerk A1410-01 $16000.00 9.44% $128b9.26. $3`1_3,,,.0�.�7�.4,. �N9i�+,19.57% .. -04 $1350.00 0.80% $1054.81 p� ai 21.87% Attorney A1420-04 $2800.00 1.65% $2557.00 $243.00 ✓ 8.68'1. lections A1450-04 $3500.00 2.06% $1005.00 $2495.00✓ 71.29?. uildings A1620-01 $1170.00 0.69%, $934.56 $235.44 20.12% -04 $5000.00 2.95% $3349.89 00Y.

This budget calls for an increase in the tax rate to be paid by Village of Trumansburg residents of 8.9%. Property owners outside of the Village will pay an increase of 14.9%. With these increases, an owner of property within the Village having an assessed valuation of $50,000.00 will pay an additional $9.00 Town Tax in 1985. A property owner with a $50,000.00 assessed valuation outside of the Village will pay an additional $21.50. The preliminary budget has a substantial increase in appropriations only in the area of zoning and fire and building code enforcement. Otherwise it is esscntially a "no -growth" budget that accounts for reasonably anticipated increases in normal expenditures, but creates no new programs or projects., It is the type of budget designed to keep increases to a minimum and is in line with increases in prior budgets over the past several years. Unfortunately, that is not the entire story. In the course of the preparation and presentation of this budget it became apparent that the Town of Ulysses does not have a proper reserve fund for highway equipment replacement, nor does it have a reserve fund for planning and development(e.g. water district study) and it does not have an adequate contingency fund. The Town Board is considering adding these items to the budget after the public hearing scheduled for November 7th at 7:30 p.m. Although final figures are not available at this time, it is anticipated that the funding of these reserve accounts will have a significant impact upon the tax rate. The Town Board desires to have as much public input as possible with regard to both the preliminary budget as presented and especially with regard to the proposed additions to the preliminary budget as outlined. With that in mind, we ask that all tax payers make special effort to attend the November 7th public hearing so that the Town Board can fairly determine public sentiment with regard to these matters.

Yours truly, UL YSSES b MARTIN A. LUSTER Supervisor NOTICE TO TOWN OF ULYSSES I. RESIDENTS In a recent notice in the Pennysaver, the Ulysses Supervisor Inferred that previous Town Boards had made no provision for highway equipment replace- ment. This is simply not true. With highway equipment funds carried over from prior years. revenue sharing funds allocated to highway equipment, and amounts budgeted for the current year, there was '65,000 available for capital expenditures for such equipment In 1984. To Suggest otherwise may promote the interests of the present Supervisor, but it does not accurately Inform the public - and Is an Insult to the many capable people who, as Councilmen or Supervisors attended to the affpirs of the Town prior to January 1, 1984. We also urge the public to attend the November 7 Public Hearing on the* 1985 Budget. Arthur J.

PAYN[, DIRECTOR I LJ Martin Luster, Supervisor ® Town of Ulysses 10 Elm Street Trumansburg, New York 14886 September 19, 1984 Dear Martin, The following is to confirm our telephone conversation of September 17, 1984 regarding the new veterans exemption. The basis for calculating the impact of this law is part factual and part assumption. We currently know there are approximately 10, 000 veterans, county- wide, of which 5, 000 are combat veterans. We do not know how many have a service connected disability. There are currently 1,130 veterans exemptions on residential property in the county. For the Town of Ulysses there are currently 84 veterans exemptions on residential property with a total exemption of $255, 500. The total assessed value of these parcels is $3. 558,100 or an average of $42, 400. Assuming an averagr- exemption of 25%,the average exemption under the new law would be $10, 600. If we assume the veterans are distributed among the municipalities within the county In the same relationship as the current veterans exemptions, Ulysses would have 756 eligible for the exemption. This would calculate into a total exemption of $8. 013, 600. (42, 400 x 25% = 10, 600 x 756 = 8, 013, 600). Martin Luster September 19, 1984 Page 2 With no way of knowing how inaccurate the assumptions might be, I the conclusion is really no more than a guess. Sincerely, Donald P.

Mr. Capogrossi said Mr. Koke would answer the technical questions relative the the placing of dish antennas. Mr. Koke explained the difficulties present in placing such antennas; in the case of Mr. Capogrossi's residence woods and tree barriers to the north and south of the house would make the structure inoperative, that there was about a 20 -foot leeway for the placement of the antenna.

A Beers, sec ces Official Town Files Board members (ob TOWN OF ULYSSES PUBLIC HEARING November 7, 1984 Purpose of Hearing: discussion of Preliminary Budget/Federal Revenue Sharing. Present: Martin Luster, Supervisor; Carolyn buddleston, Councilwoman; James Vorp, Robert Herrick, Councilmen; Marsha Georgia, Town Clerk; James Meeker, Highway Superintendent. Others Present: Please see attached list. Proof of Legal Notice was read by Mrs. Georgia. All present received copies of the Preliminary Budget, a statement of the overall effect of the budget and effect of additional appropriations, and a bar graph of Highway Fund Surplus. Mr. Luster pointed out a correction to be made on the bar graph. The second bar from the left --that the date at the bottom should read adopted 11/83 instead of 11/84. Mr. Luster commented that the Budget is made up of several funds: General, General Outside Village, Highway Townwide, Highway Outride Village, Federal Revenue Sharing, Part -Town and Fire Protection. What he would like to do is to highlight the Preliminary Budget - go through each fund, point out major changes from last year, point out rational for some of the figures that you see, and then at the conclusion of each fund the Board will be pleased to hear from anyone, any questions or comments, regarding that fund. This will be done for each of the five funds and then will listen to any general comments or overall questions concerning the Preliminary Budget as presented. After that portion of the hearing, Mr. Luster will present a series of three proposed additions to the Preliminary Budget, explain the rational for these proposals and listen to any comments or questions regarding them. Mr. Luster continued on and went over the General Fund appropriations of the Preliminary Budget, pointing out the major changes in various catagories. After this brief run down he asked for any comments or questions on this portion of the budget (see attached Preliminary Budget.) Tom Reitz, of Jacksonville, commented that as Mr. Luster had pointed out in the letter to the public, that there was an overall budget, and he fully agrees to this, and that it shows a positive growth in the town and that the positive growth has been almost a million dollars of taxable property. He went on to state that this growth has also added work and responsibilities in the Office of the Town Clerk, Marsha Georgia and Paula Mount --from Zoning and Building information to questions from the general public. Mr. Reitz went on to say that he thinks the Town Clerk's salary has been underpaid and underestimated over many years and he recommended that the salary be increased by $1,000.00. He also recommen- ded an increase in the Deputy Town Clerks position to cover the Town Clerk's being away from the Office. He suggested that these monies come from Federal Revenue Funds, as to not influence the tax base. Many long hours are spent in these two positions, many people come into the • office and the Clerk's Office is the front line of the Town business. Hearing no other comments, Mr. Luster moved on to page two of the Preliminary Budget which is the other side of the General Fund, the Revenue portion, which is where the money comes from. Mr. Luster re- viewed each line of this revenue account (see attached copy of the Preliminary Budget) explaining any changes. One major change was in Federal Revenue Sharing, was that in 1984, $5,200. was appropriated to General Fund Revenue -in this Preliminary Budget we do not propose to appropriate any portion of the Revenue Sharing money to General Fund. Mr. Luster stated that if we (Town Board) project that if everything that we have yet to spend, as budgeted in the 1984 Budget is spent in this General Fund, and receive all of the revenue we expect to receive in the General Fund in the balance of 1984 - we will have at the end of the year left over $18,400. He directed everyone to go to the front page of the budget (Summary of Town Budget) Code A - Total Appropriations - less estimated revenue and less this unexpended balance would equal the TOWN OF ULYSSES !b7 PUBLIC HEARING November 7, 1984 Page 2 amount to be raised by taxes, which is $71,167 for 1985. Mr. Luster asked at this time for any comments or questions on the General Fund Revenue portion. Mrs. Baldwin asked what the amount for 1984 was,under amount to be raised for taxes in the General Fund. Mr. Luster answered that in 1984, $80,192. was raised in that slot. So actually, there is a modest decrease in the tax levy for the General Fund. Mr. Luster continued on to page 3 of the Preliminary Budget, first explaining that the highway fund is divided into two sections - some • highway expenses are attributable to town wide expenses, machinery, bridges, brush and weeks - some portion of the town highway we cannot charge to the entire town, including the Village, but must charge to the portion of the town outside of the Village and that is what is called the Highway Out Appropriation Fund, and that's primarily capital improvements and general repairs to the roads. Mr. Luster proceeded to review page 3. The machinery account 01, which is the payroll associated with machinery was underestimated in 1984, and in fact, the 1984 budget had to be amended substantially to bring it up to actual expenses in that category. The 1985 estimate is based upon the 1984 experience. In machinery 02, is for the actual purchase of equipment and machinery and the $21,000. budgeted for 1984 will be spent in 1984. The $21,000. for 1985, after review of the equipment by Mr. Meeker, is reasonable. The contractual line 04, is the amount spent by the Town Highway Dept. in contracting with others for machinery repairs, purchases, etc. and the amount is based on consultation with the Highway Department. Mr. Luster asked for questions or comments regarding the Highway Town Wide Appropriation Fund. Hearing none, he moved on to the revenue portion of the same fund. No significant changes. $13,600. is money we expect to appropriate from revenue sharing money we will receive in 1985, part of which we expect to appropriate to the Highway Town Revenue Fund, all of the revenue money you'll see contained in two funds that we handle at the end, and that's the revenue sharing appropriation fund and the revenue sharing revenue fund --so you will see these figures again later on. We expect at the end of 1984 to have an unexpended balance in this fund of $13,750. Going back to the Summary of Town Budget page, Code DA - Highway Town Wide - total appropriations $154,270. less estimated revenue $45,610, less the unexpended balance of $13,750., leaves to be raised by taxes $94,910.; in 1984 raised $70,627. in taxes, so there is a significant increase in the tax levy for that portion of the budget. Moving on to the portion of the budget, Highway/Out Appro- priation Fund - this is the portion of the fund attributable to high- way expenditures for areas outside of the Village of Trumansburg. Mr. Luster reviewed the various areas and indicated that Mr. Meeker could comment on the Capital Improvement area of $52,000. Mr. Meeker explained that the roads are in pretty good shape, but that this money would be used to apply sealer to the roads, which helps the life of the road surface. This is cheaper that spending $30,000 per mile to resurface the roads and costs about $3,000. per mile to seal the roads. A road should be sealed every four or five years. This still qualifies for the CHIPS program. Mr. Luster asked if there were any more questions or comments concerning this area. Mr. Golder indicated that he had a question dealing with highway equipment. The figure budgeted is $21,000, the same as in the 1984 budget. The annual financial report filed by this Town for the year 1983 showed an unexpended balance of highway fund -machinery of $28,409.77, and it also showed the federal revenue sharing fund balance, which as he understood it was allocated to highway equipment as well, of $16,059.51. Looking at the figures here, it is anticipated that an unexpended fund balance of $13,750. In January there was about $65,000. for highway equipment and now we have $13,750. Mr. Luster, anticipating Mr. Golders question asked that he finish going through the budget and come back to this section - it being part of the 'Additions' portion of the discussion. Mr. Golder agreed to this. Mr. Luster continued on to the Highway/Out Revenue Fund. The Per Capita section shows a signi- ficant decrease from last year, this is a little misleading. In 1984 the entire portion of Per Capita Aid earmarked for Part Town use went TOWN OF ULYSSES �Db PUBLIC HEARING November 7, 1984 Page 3 into the Highway Fund. This year, because we have significant increases in other Part Town areas, primarily Zoning and Building Code enforcement, split up the Per Capita aid so that part of it, $11,845. will be appropriated to the Highway Fund and the balance is going into the General Fund Part Town Account. So that decrease from $23,000 to $11,845., although it is accurate, does not tell the whole story until you see the whole budget. The total money we will be receiving, not counting taxes, will be $51,745. Turning back again to the Summary of Town Budget - DB - Highway Outside Village - total appropriations $126,430., less estimated revenues of $51,745., less an unexpended balance of $11,250., that leaves $63,435. to be raised by taxes. Last year we raised $49,059. Mr. Luster went on to page 4 of the Preliminary Budget. Part Town Appropriation Fund. The area of Zoning was discussed noting that the increase was due to additional hours. An additional item was that of the Hospital Insurance of $2,028 for the Zoning Officer. The Part Town Revenue Fund shows an increase in Zoning Fees, which includes an increase in Zoning application fees from $5.00 to $10.00, and also includes a fee for people who apply for development districts. This would be a $25.00 fee which does not cover the entire cost involved, but merely off -sets them somewhat. The NYS Per Capita is the balance of that Part Town Per Capita as mentioned before. The $2,600. on line B3002 is money we expect to receive for enforcing the NYS Building and Fire Code. Back to the Summary. Code B - General Outside Village - total appropriations $15,294., less estimated revenues of $13,709., there is no unexpended balance. The amount to be raised by taxes is $1,585. Last year we raised $1,250. for that purpose. The reason the increase is so modest, yet the appropriation is so much more is because we have taken that $9,000. Per Capita Aid and applied it to this category. Mr. Luster asked if there were any questions on the Part -Town Fund. Asked about the $1,200. amount under Garbage, the amount appropriated in prior years was under town wide fund, we feel that is not appropriate, since we will not be picking up in the Village. Based upon public reaction last spring, we feel that the Town of Ulysses residents want a curb -side pick up rather than bringing it to the Town Barns. The $1,200 is an estimate by Jim Meeker as to what it will cost for a one time pick up. The Fire Protection Fund. The Town contracts with the Trumansburg Fire Company to provide fire protection to the Town. We are presented with a proposed budget by the Fire Company, and for 1985 we have a modest, but welcome decrease, in the cost of fire protection anticipated for 1985. This is taxed among those people who reside 1- in the Town of Ulysses, 2- in the Trumansburg fire district, 3- outside of the Village. It is a slightly different tax base than any of the other tax bases, and there is no other source of funds for that money other than real estate taxes. So the entire amount of $27,217. will have to be raised by taxes. The last fund is the Revenue Sharing Fund. It is a Federal program. The money may be spent for any legitimate purpose in the Town. There are some requirements, there is a public hearing requirement, which we are satisfying tonight, there is a requirement that any Revenue Sharing • money actually be spent or appropriated within two years of receipt. We expect to receive in 1985 the same amount we received in 1984, $24,744. Where that is going you will find under Revenue Sharing Appropriation Fund, which simply summarizes the items that we have hit as we have gone through the seperate Revenue Funds. We propose to appropriate $13,610. to Highway Equipment, we intend to appropriate $10,000. to Highway General Repair, and we expect to appropriate $1,134. to Zoning Expenditures, totaling $24,744. We will not have any unexpended balance in Revenue Sharing at the end. of 1984. The money that we had appropriated a year ago for use in 1984 has in fact been spent or will be spent by the end of this year. That was a total of $38,900. because it included an unexpended balance of the prior years. That entire amount was appropriated for use in 1984 by the Town Board a year ago, and has in fact been spent or will be spent. Mr. Luster asked for questions on the Revenue Sharing Fund. Hearing none, he asked if there were any general comments or questions on the TOWN OF ULYSSES 10q PUBLIC HEARING November 7, 1984 Page 4 overall Preliminary Budget. Mr. Luster went on to say that Mr. Golder had asked a question, and there has been some discussion, regarding a proposal that was embodied in an open letter that we published at the suggestion and request of the Board, to inform the Town that we feel that the budget that we have is a fair budget, it's a 'go slow' budget, the increases, by the way if you will turn to the Summary Sheet; if it passes and is adopted by the Town Board in the form that we have just gone through, it will result in an increase in the town -wide tax rate of $2.20 per thousand dollars of assessed evaluation. That is an 8.9% increase over the 1984 level and is roughly 70% of the increase of 84 over 83. It is a modest ® increase. If you take the portion of the budget that is added to that for non -village residents, that's the Town Outside Village and Highway Outside Village, we come up with a tax rate just for that portion of $1.20 per thousand. That must be added to the Town wide rate of $2.20 so that together for people outside of the Village there will be a tax rate of $3.40 per thousand. That represents a 14.8% increase over the combined rate for 1984 and is about a percent increase from 1983 to 1984. So, although it is a significant percentage increase, you will see in a minute the dollars are not terribly high and in terms of prior exper- ience in the Town, it seems to be in keeping with prior increases, at least the increase from 1983 to 1984.Mr. Luster went on to say that what all this means is that a home assessed at $50,000. in the Village of Trumansburg, under this budget, would pay $9.00 more in Town Tax in 1985; a home assessed for $50,000. outside of the Village will pay $22.00 more in 1985. The residents outside of the Village pay a larger amount because they receive more services. Mr. Luster asked if anyone had any questions on the calculations or the figures just mentioned with regard to the preliminary budget. Mr. Reitz asked if this included the Fire Contract. Mr. Luster indicated it did not. The fire protection amount will be lower, but it is a different tax base. Mr. Luster made some fast calculations and indicated that it would be approximately an additional 53p or 54G per thousand. Mr. Luster again asked if there were any questions on the Preliminary Budget without any additions or proposals. Mr. Luster then went on to say that a public letter had been published, that indicated that the Town Board felt that there were some areas that wherein this budget could be improved. One area is the area of Highway Equipment Reserve for replacement of highway equipment. One is in Planning and Development and primarily that deals with the Jacksonville Water District - we have no money set aside to fund even a preliminary study for a water district in Jacksonville; and it also includes a $3,000. proposed increase in Contingency Funds. The $5,000. and $1,000. we have put aside for Contingency, we have been lucky so far that we really haven't had to delve into the Contingency Fund, it is pretty skimpy, the Town is allowed to put aside for Contingencies, an amount up to 10% of the total appropriations, and we don't come close to that, and Mr. Luster indicated that he wasn't proposing that the Town come close to that, but he would like to see the Contingency Fund beefed up a litte bit and if we don't use it, it shows up as an unexpended balance ® at the end of the year and can be used to off -set taxes next year. Let's take the easier ones first. The Planning and Development, Mr. Luster proposed a $2,500 appropriation to put aside to pay for 25% of antici- pated engineers fees for doing a feasibility study for a water district in Jacksonville. The County Board has under consideration now a bill that would fund up to 75% of the cost. Right now we have nothing set aside for that and would like to set aside $2,500 so we can actually get this underway in 1985. If, on the other hand, the County does not come through with actual funding for the feasibility study, we still have a problem, because $2,500 can't even buy you a look-see by an engineer! It is a modest start. Mr. Luster would like to increase the total Contingency Fund, which is now $6,000. to $9,000. The final item came about as a result of reviewing the Town Books, last years Year End Report and some of the Highway records and it appeared that the Town had never set aside a reserve for Highway Equipment Replacement. In looking into it further, what was found was that in prior years the Town Board did in fact intend to set aside such a reserve, and the way it was done was to allow a surplus to accumulate in the Highway Fund that was not appropriated for expense in the forthcoming year. So, that as Bud Golder TOWN OF ULYSSES PUBLIC HEARING November 7, 1984 Page 5 1(b has mentioned, at the end of 1983, there was in the Highway Fund a substantial unappropriated surplus. Mr. Luster indicated to turn to the Bar Graph attached. The first bar is the total balance in the Highway Fund, as certified by the Trust Company and certified by the Year End Report of $84,197 left in the account as of the end of 1983. Part of that had previously been appropriated to current expenses, expected to be incurred in 1984. That appropriation in the 1984 budget, the budget that was passed a year ago, reduced the fund to $51,483. In other words, after the appropriations in the 1984 budget, there was left as a reserve, $51,483. This includes money, the portion that was appropriated, is part of the Revenue Sharing money that Mr. Golder made reference to. So, Revenue Sharing money was appropriated for current use in 1984, not as a reserve. So we now have a balance of $51,483. During the year 1984, it became apparent there were deficiencies in some of the highway lines, particularly the machinery section. That a seven thousand dollars and change appropriated for that line, and it turned out to be over $20,000. in actual expenses. In order to keep that line from being in an overdrawn situation, which you are not permitted to do, you can't spend money that you don't have, the Town Board, I believe in July, appropriated over $20,000. from the unexpended. balance in the Highway Funds, which is permissible, to meet current expenses. That reduced the unappropriated balance to $30,466. We are anticipating, as you have just seen in this budget, of that $30,000. we'll still have on hand at the end of this year $25,000. and we in this budget have appropriated that $25,000. to off -set the tax levy. So although there was a substantial balance at one point, it has been used. And this brings up the problem. The reason it has been used, number one it was needed, number two it was legal, and number three they had no choice. The reason it was used is that it had not been set aside in a 'reserved' account. The law is very specific that in order to establish a proper reserve for a capital improvment in a Town or a capital purchase in a Town, a separate account, called a Capital Reserve Account, must be set up. You've got to specify what type of improvment you are going to make, or what type of equipment you are going to buy. The money is appropriated in the current budget, put into the reserve account, it must be kept in a separate bank account, interest earned in that bank account can only go back into that bank account, and it can only be spent for purposes earmarked by the resolution creating the reserve fund. It gets carried forward then as an ongoing fund, year after year, can be added to year after year, or can be partially spent as the need arises. This wasn't done. Instead, an informal manner of trying to accommodate the possibility of equipment replacment was adopted. The informal way of doing it was to accumulate a surplus and not to appropriate it to any particular use. The Attorney General of New York State has ruled that it is improper for a Town to tax for the purpose of accumulating an unappro- priated surplus. The Attorney General has said if you want to put some money in the mattress for future use, you've got to do it formally and properly in a reserve account so that the public, by looking at the budget knows where the money is earmarked and where it is coming from. If you look at the 1984 budget, you won't find anything in there for highway reserve, nor for any of the prior years. What my (Mr. Luster) proposal is, is to appropriate this year the sum of $10,000. to start a Highway Equipment Reserve. Now $10,000. is not going to get us very • far. Jim Meeker has prepared a schedule of Capital Equipment Replacment, and we are looking at expenses, $75,000.; $80,000.; $45,000; big numbers. If we have to buy one of these items in 1985, the $10,000. is not going to buy a great deal. We are going to have to borrow if we are unfor- tunate enough to have to replace some of these capital items. The $10,000. will simply reduce the amount we have to borrow. It is a start, it establishes the books in a proper manner and allows us to build that fund as we can, as the tax base can vary. It's proper managment, its proper bookkeeping, and it's the only lawful way to do what should be done and that's to put away for a rainy day. Mr. Luster asked for comments or questions regarding the proposed additions to the budget. David Zimet asked that on the Bar Chart, the $51,483 was adopted in 1983? Mr. Luster indicated that he had made the announcement of that correction earlier. Mr. Zimet asked if anyone had done a cost analysis on what it would cost to float a bond, say for an $80,000. capital purchase? Mr. Luster indicated no. Mr. Zimet stated that he was just trying to get TOWN OF ULYSSES / PUBLIC HEARING November 7, 1984 Page 6 an idea of how one would decide what would be the ideal Highway Fund surplus to be aiming for. Mr. Luster answered that they have not done that study nor do they have the experience, because the Town is not bonded. Mr. Reitz made the following comments. He feels the amount to be set aside in a reserve account deserves considerable thought and research. The Town Board has discussed principal projects for the immediate future: one is replacing a 10 -wheel Town Highway truck, second is adding an annex on to this building, possibly rewiring and doing some other renovations. He also thinks a small word processor should be considered, and as suggested money for a water district study. The full amount of this reserve, Mr. Reitz estimated at about $200,000. To acquire this amount in a reasonable amount of time, the Board should consider the following possibilities: A) from the carry over amounts, if legally possible, apply a percentage into reserve within the respective departments - this may be an incentive for the department individuals to try to closer control costs and they would recognize the savings back into their own areas. B) consider the possibility for indebtedness and borrow the money after reviewing the future plan, and C) in the past couple years fixed costs for employee benefits, health costs, utilities, etc. have put taxes in a double digit. The consideration of adding to this tax increase should only be a remote possibility. Furthermore, next year we will realize the future assessed taxable increase, the Town was recently reevaluated by the County Assessment Department, we can expect raises of property values in the very near future. Mr. Reitz feels the confidence in the former bookkeeper, Aileen Beers, and the past Town Board administrations have led to prior budgets being passed without major adjustments. The computer availability the present bookkeeper has, has involved a closer evaluation of our fiscal problem our Town faces. Mr, Reitz can find no irresponsibility of either past or persent administrations, only a different awareness of our needs. Mr. Luster pointed out that the second sheet of the package 'Effect Of Additional Appropriations' - these numbers are there just to give an idea of what we are talking about in terms of impact, if the Town Board decided to add these three additional items. (See attached). Mr. Luster asked for any additional comments or questions. Mr. Golder indicated that he was at the meeting primarily to address the October 10th edition of the Freepress. Mr. Luster was quoted as calling prior Town Boards fiscally irresponsible, in their handling of highway equipmerft funds. Mr. Golder felt that a strong charge and one that was not true. He asked they talk a minute about reserve funds. No question that every municipality has an option to create a reserve fund, to fund a capital project if they choose. They don't have to do it that way, they can do it just the way this Town has done it since the days of Cliff Bower and long before. One of the disadvantages of a reserve fund is that, as has been stated, you can't use that money for anything else, you are locked into it. Doing it the way it has been done, you retain some flexibility for yourself. You can use those monies for other purposes as the need arises, and apparently the need has arisen quite often this past year. In terms of the monies available, • and earmarked for highway equipment, Mr. Golder indicated that his figures totaled $74,000. which includes $25,000. Federal Revenue Sharing appropriated in 1984. $21,000. other Tax Revenues and what was on hand, and what was in the bank as an unexpended balance. Yet this Bar Chart doesn't give me an explanation where that $74,000. went. I hope some- body can. Mr. Luster stated that the money that was appropriated a year ago for use in 1984, has been used in 1984 exactly in accordance with the Town Boards projection a year ago. Mr. Golder asked, "For Highway Equip- ment?" Mr. Luster answered for highway equipment and related contractual and payroll expenses. The original equipment repair line, as approved by the Town Board a year ago, was $7,000., it turned out to be well over $20,000. in actual repairs, so we dipped into that surplus to pay for it. That was one major item. We also bought a spreader box for $4,000. Mr. Meeker indicated that one of the reasons for such a large increase is that the condition of some of the equipment listed on an inventory sheet was listed as excellent condition, where in fact, the equipment is not in good condition. Because of the age of a lot of the equipment, it is more costly to repair. TOWN OF ULl'SSE,q PUBLIC HEARING November 7, 1984 Page 7 1007 Mr. Luster stated that he can't, at this moment, give a dollar for dollar breakdown of every dollar spent in the highway department this year. He did indicate that the Town Board has been supplied, on a regular basis, with a budget status report that shows each line month by month, what has been spent, and what is left. Every dollar that has been appropriated for highway use has been spent for highway use. Expenses are increasing due to the age of the equipment. D'ith regard to the comment about 'fiscally irresponsible', Mr. Luster stated that he did not recall the exact context, but that he did say it, and what the exact context was, he doesn't remember, but doesn't feel it important, because it was an inappropriate remark. It was not meant to cast any aspersion upon any prior Councilmen, Supervisors, or Budget Officers; what he intended to say is that he would not do it that way, he doesn't ® feel that he would be acting responsibly if he accumulated a surplus and did not appropriate that surplus. The reason he feels that he would not be acting responsibly is because any member of the public wanted to know what we have on hand and where it's going and where it's coming from, you can only tell by getting the assistance of the bookkeeper or an accountant and going through the books and finding out what the balances are, because these unappropriated balances don't show up in the budget. Unexpended balances do. What was carried over from year to year were balances beyond that shown in the budget, so you can't tell by looking at the budget what's there and what's not there. Mr. Luster went on to say that he doesn't think that is a responsible way to do it, that that is his own standard. He certainly doesn't doubt the good faith of the prior Boards or Supervisors, or Budget Officers, he was present at a lot of those meetings, that they had in mind to put aside a reserve fund for highway equipment, and that they thought they were using a method that was appropriate. Mr. Luster's personal opinion is that he doesn't think it was a good method. In 1969, the Attorney General said there is no authority for a Town to carry a surplus forward from year to year and goes on to say that the proper way to do it is that it be deposited, that a new capital reserve fund be established with those monies, but it should be done formally in a capital reserve fund so that it shows up in the budget, so that you know where your tax dollars are going. He thinks it is more than simply semantics, and accounting talk, it goes to the very heart of the right of the public to know what is going on and that is why he is in favor of setting up a reserve fund. He felt Mr. Reitz's remarks are well taken, the $10,000. may be more symbol than anything else. It may not accomplish anything in terms of dollars and we'll just have to look into that and see how we are going to finance some of these long range capital purchases for the highway department. Mrs. Golder indicated that she felt it was nice that there was the flexibility in past years in case a problem came up, and maybe that would be a little bit wiser, being a small Town that we don't have to be so formal, that we don't always have to do what the Attorney General suggests. Mr. Luster felt the way to accomplish that flexibility is to increase the Contingency Fund so that if you need the flexibility, you have it, and at the end of the year, if you didn't need it goes right back into the tax payers pocket in the form of a tax reduction for the next year. Yes, you do need some elasticity, but he doesn't think by underestimating surpluses is the way to do it. Mr. Colder indicated that he was very interested in pursuing this $74,000. and Mr. Luster stated that it would be available. Mr. Herrick stated that he had indeed agreed to the open letter to the public. He went on to state that Mr. Luster's earlier comments sounded suspiciously like an apology and that he appreciated it. Mr. Herrick then went on to say that he wanted the public to know that the Town of Ulysses has for many years has not been involved in one cent worth of bonded or borrowing money. Mr. Herrick continued by pointing out the many responsible things the Town had done in the past, and the great deal of responsibility they had shown. Hearing no further comments or questions, the meeting was adjourned at 9:05 PM. Marsha L. Georgia, Town Clerk P/caste SZ V . S e. Gov C7&,iLcQect' b&& - L C,L� A. 4, Since my involvement in Town government for the past 5 years I have had hopes some day newspaper headlines would read "Ulysses Taxes go down". But now I dream and hope we might again see single digit taxes instead of double digits of 15% or higher. General appropriations this yar are approximately $ 185,000. We have had a positive "growth" in the Town of nearly $1,000,00C of increased taxable property. With this growth has been additional work and responsibilities carried out primarily in the office of Town Clerk. Whenever you call 387-8601 for zoning or building officer on information Marsha or Paula have had to shoulder this increase work. Our Town clerks salary comparible in this County reminds me of the saying of being overworked and underpaid is true in the case. I recommend the Town Clerks salary be raised to $14,500 and the Town Clerk Deputy total salary to at least cover the hours when Marsha is required to be out of the office, on vacation or sick. I suggest the dollars come from Federal Revenue sharing. The Town Clerk office is the first place where' town residents call or come to for town problems and visitors come to for licenses or information. As just a reminder, Highway fund requested appropriation are approximately 325,000 or 63% of the total budget (about at 35 miles of town roads= $5,000/mile on amount of be raised by taxes). Part town cost have increased enormously from 5000 in 1984 to 15,300 in Proposed 1985 or (326%). Tms is in cost for building inspector for State mandated Fire & Building Codes and enforcement of our Zoning laws. FA n Records show the Reserve or carry over has in the past 4 budgets gone from low 43,400 proposed in 1985 to a high of 61,781 in 1983. The question of how much money to set aside in committed reserve account deserves considerable thought and research. There has been discussed by theTown Board principle projects for the immediate future. One is replacing a 10 wheel Town Highway truck (cost from $80,00 to $100,00) and second adding on an Annex to this building, rewiring, and some renovations. I also believe we should consider a small word process/ minicomputer for Town budget and general clerical operations and as suggested money for water district studies in the Town. Total amount for this Reserve may require $200,000. To acquire this large amount in a reasonable time the Board should consider some of the following possibilities. a) From the carry over amount (if legal) apply a percentage into reserve within their respective departments. This may be an incentive to try to closer control costs if the savings were reinvested in their respective areas. b) Consider the possibility indebtedness and borrow the money after reviewing the future plans. A truck equipped today may cost t 100,000 but in 5 or 1C years may cost $120,000 or more if we could wait that long. Also, construction costs of an annex goes up very fast the longer we wait and before additional Federal, State, or Local regulations are passed. c) In the last couple of years fixed costs (ega employee benefits, health costs, utilitie, etc.) have put taxes in double digit numbers. The consideration of adding to this tax increase should only be a remote possibility. Furthermore next year we will recognize a further assesed taxable increase and the Town was recently re- evaluated by the County assessment Dept. We can expect raises in property values in the very near future. 3 I. certainly feel that the confidence in our former bookkeeper (Aileen Beers) and in thpast town board administrations have lead to prior budgets being passed without major adjustments. With the computer availability of the present bookkeeping system this has involved a closer evaluation of our fiscal problems our Town faces but I can find no irresponsibility on either past or present admi nistrations - only a different awareness of our needs. We are certainly approaching th.e 21st century in a positive growth pattern and we look to the board with confidence to reach fair and equitable decisions regarding our future. Respectfully Submitted cy2, c%:> Thomas F. Reitz 185 Colegrove Road Trumansburg, N.Y. 14886 1o9 TOWN OF ULYSSES SPECIAL BOARD MEETING November 13, 1984 The Special Meeting of the Town of Ulysses was called to order by Martin Luster, Supervisor at 7:40 PM. Present: Martin Luster, Supervisor, Carolyn Duddleston, Councilwoman, Robert Herrick, Councilman, Marsha Georgia, Town Clerk, Katherine Stover, William Savey, Thomas Reitz, Robert Weatherby and Richard Durling. Absent: James Vorp, Councilman The purpose of the meeting, to interview candidates to fill the vacancy on the Town Board. ® Mr. Luster indicated that he had received the following documents: Memorandum from the Town of Ulysses Republican Committee Nov. 7th, Communication dated October 30th signed by Jim Meeker and four high- way crew members, resume from Tom Reitz and a cover letter from him, a resume from Bill Savey, resume from Alan Weatherby, resume from Richard Durling and a letter from the Jacksonville Community Associa- tion. Mr.Luster stated that this is a Special Meeting and Notice had been published in accordance with law. He asked if the Board members wanted to consider this meeting as an Open Meeting or an Executive Meeting. It is a Personnel matter which would be appropriate for an Executive Meeting if wanted. It was decided to handle it as an Open Meeting, and all agreed that action would be taken by Tuesday, November 20,1984. Robert Weatherby was the first interviewed. Mr. Luster asked Mr. Weatherby why he wanted to serve on the Board. Mr. Weatherby responded that he is a life long resident of the area, he is a tax payer and is concerned about what is going on. He likes to be involved and as his resume indicates (see attached) he is involved. He feels it doesn't do any good to sit back and not speak your piece. He feels that his family and occupation comes first, but he also likesto contribute to his Town and different organizations. Mr. Luster asked if he was currently active in the organizations listed on his resume. Mr. Weatherby indicated that there are a couple that he is no longer on, but that he is on the others. They are not as time consuming as he understands the Town Board is. Mr. Luster indicated that the Town Board seems to be spending more and more time, due to directives from Albany and other things that are happening, on Town business, and may reach the point fairly soon that they cannot handle everything at one regular meeting a month --Mr. Luster asked if they met twice a month, would this create a problem? Mr. Weatherby indicated that he felt he could handle this. Mr. Herrick asked if Mr. Weatherby felt he represented any particular group. Mr. Weatherby indicated that he didn't feel he did, but has the interest and would hope that he could do a good job. He has been told by some of the Board members that it is a time consuming job, that it cannot be taken lightly. Mr. Luster asked him to sum up his experience on the Planning Board, and how long he has been on the Planning Board. Mr. Weatherby indicated that he has been on the Planning Board for three years, and that at times he and the entire Planning Board felt they were getting a run around . He felt they were trying to do their job and pass it on to the Board, • and it would get shoved back down to redo it. He understands why; it was interesting, and he has learned much about the Zoning laws, a good experience. Mr. Luster asked if he has any skills from his business that might be of use in terms of Town Government. Mr. Weatherby stated that his occupation as a farmer, knows what it's like to make payments, knows about large equipment, which he works with every day of the week, and he understands the cost to replace equipment. He has experience in working with budgets from other committees. Mrs. Duddleston asked if Mr. Weatherby realized that he can't serve on the Town Board and the Planning Board. Mr. Weatherby indicated that Mr. Herrick and Mrs. Duddleston had previously answered any questions he may have had, and that he had no other ones at this time. Mr. Luster asked what Mr. Weatherby sees as major issues in the Town. Mr. Weatherby responded that he sees that the water project in Jacksonville is a big issue, taxes, and that after the meeting the other night (November 7th) that something has to be done about highway equipment - that it is something that cannot be let go. He doesn't want to pay more taxes any more than anyone else, but he doesn't know how else it can be done. TOWN OF ULYSSES SPECIAL BOARD MEETING November 13, 1984 Page 2 1Iq Mr. Luster asked what Mr. Weatherby's contact with residents in the Town, outside of the organizations was. Mr. Weatherby indicated that because of his occupation, he is at home and perhaps doesn't get out as much as he should. He does feel that he is a good listener and is not afraid to discuss something with people. He would hope to have more contact if on the Board and would have to get more involved. No other questions were presented. William Savey was the second candidate interviewed. He stated that he has been retired for two years and indicated the various activities he is still active in (see attached resume). He is currently Chairman of the Village Zoning Board of Appeals, and is still active on the Tompkins County Planning Board, in Rotary and American Legion. He indicated that he has a good deal of free time since he is retired. He is retired from the Air Force, where his experience was in supplies and procurement, making financial plans;helpedinstall computers in the Air Force system. Mr. Luster asked why Mr. Savey wanted the position. Mr. Savey responded that he is active in the Village, he lives in the Village, but feels that there is more activity at the Town level. He feels that he can help the Village through his participation on the Town Board. At present, Mr. Vorp is the only Village resident on the Board. He was in farming before entering military service, has dealth with civil engineering, heavy equipment operation, has procured parts for heavy equipment. Mr. Savey indicated that he is second Vice President of the Rotary. President of the Financial Club at Cornell, also contributes one evening a month to the Ulysses Library. Is available year round and intends to be in the area. Mr. Luster asked if anyone had talked to him about the time requirement, or the likely increase in time requirement. Mr. Savey responded that time in unimportant, he has the time. Mr. Herrick asked if Mr, Savey felt he represented any parti- cular group or individuals. Mr. Savey responded that as he had indica- ted, he does belong to the Rotary Club and the Legion, he is a veteran, and he might have a leaning towards that because of his many years in the service (26). Mr. Luster asked what Mr. Savey saw as the major problems or interests confronting the Town. Mr. Savey felt that taxes was one, nobody really likes to raise taxes, perhaps better assessment to fairly distribute the taxes; growth to the present building, such as a computer, if you had a computer you could do your budgets, have daily figures, etc. The other problem is the one with equipment for the highway. He imagines there are jacket files on the equipment and what has been spent on the equipment, and if the inventory is up to date, some of the equipment may be old, but may still be good. Mr. Luster asked for questions or comments, and asked if Mr. Savey feels he gets out and around alot, and gets a feeling what concerns people. Mr. Savey is in town on a daily basis. A great contact is the Rotary Club which represents about 48 different businesses. Feels the people would like to see things kept stable, taxes kept at a low ebb - increased if a requirement not a luxury item. Mr. Luster again asked for questions or comments from the Board. Hearing none, the next candidate was called. • The third candidate interviewed was Thomas Reitz. Mr. Luster asked why he was seeking the position. Mr. Reitz stated that it goew back several years, when he was dealing with environmental problems, and got interested in the procedure of Town government. Mr. Reitz quoted John Kennedy, "Ask not what your Country can do for you, ask what you can do for your Country". This has always stuck in the back of his mind. He became involved with the Jacksonville Community, the Associa- tion, Boy Scouts and other various groups, representing them before the Town Board on various issues. Has been involved in other activities (see resume attached). Mr. Reitz put together a list of the Town meet- ings held so far this year (1984). He realizes there has been a great deal of time committment and he has been involved for the past four or five years. This synopsis also shows the growth the Town has been going through. Mr. Reitz feels that he can offer to the Town his interest and his involvement. Mr. Luster asked what Mr. Reitz sees as the major issues facing the Town in 1985. Mr. Reitz stated that the tax increase is a primary concern and what is to be done with the highway equipment as well as the equipment of the Clerk's Office or possibly the Annex. The water district in Jacksonville as well as TOWN OF ULYSSES f ie SPECIAL BOARD MEETING November 3.3, 1984 Page 3 the serious water problem on Route 89. It has not been addressed in the past, but in talking with residents, there is a serious problem. The highway equipment needs to be upgraded; Mr. Reitz lives right next door to the Town Barns, and has seen a tremendous improvement in the operations there. He would be available to go over at any time. Mr. Luster asked if Mr. Reitz could see any advantages or disadvantages in being identified so closely with Jacksonville. Mr. Reitz stated that with the thrust of the water and sewer district, that would be an advantage, he felt he would be able to take a leadership role in helping to address that issue. He cannot see any disadvantage. He would also remind the Board, the vacancy was created by the death of Bill Agard, and represented the individuals of the same area. We (Bill Agard. ) have a common concern with both the Village and the Hamlet of Jacksonville residents. Mr. Herrick asked if there was any particular constituency he could or would represent. Mr. Reitz replied that he would not try to favor any particular organization, but would best try to represent both sides of the table. There have been times as President of a particular group, even though he didn't want to do them, as the representitive of that group, had to do it. Would not favor, but would have to listen very closely to all the arguments. Is not afraid to ask questions, or talk to people. Mr. Luster asked if the time involvement would be a problem. Mr. Reitz does not see any problem with the time. He would make the time because he believe in the Town and the community, that it is a service to the people and he is fully committed to that. Mr. Luster asked for questions or comments and went on to comment that given the fact that Mr. Reitz has been out -spoken and public, asked if he feels that he has alienated certain groups of people or segments of the population that might make him less effective. Mr. Reitz stated that he felt that just the oppo- site has happened, that he has had different groups approach him and asked him to speak on their behalf. He feels that he can keep confi- dentiality. Feels a need to grow, additional filling of empty build- ings in the Town. Mr. Luster asked Mr. Reitz if he had any additional comments. Mr. Reitz indicated that he believes that we have to look at the 21st Century, that the Town needs a computer. His employment at Cornell gives him availability to the many resources Cornell has. Is willing to serve the Town in any way they see fit, would like to serve on the Town Board jind has attended all but one meeting of the Town Board. No further questions were asked. The fourth candidate, Richard Durling, was interviewed. Mr. Luster asked Mr. Durling why he would like to be: on the Board. Mr. Durling responded that ever since he finished military service, he has had a desire to serve the public. He chose to do this by joining the Fire Department. He is very active in the Department, is the Assistant Chief now. He enjoys being with people, sees people on a daily basis, talks with them, is a local resident and gets around quite a bit. He feels people have confidence in him. He is also involved in County Fire Investigation - Arson Team. Feels his serving on the, Town Board would be a benefit to both the Town and the Fire Department. He has been involved with budget and finance with the Fire Department. Mr. Durling feels that he brings a fresh approach, and fresh ideas concerning Town business. Mr. Luster asked if Mr. Durling had been involved in budget preparation. Mr. Durling replied • yes, both in the Fire Department and with his job with the State at Taughannock Falls State Park. Has dealt with budget for equipment. Mr. Luster then asked what Mr. Durling saw as the major problems or issues facing the Town. Mr. Durling replied that the water and taxes seemed to be a big thing. He also thinks the zoning is a problem. He heard at a meeting the other night that the Zoning Officer doesn't think he needs to put in as many hours as what was planned on, and Mr. Durling indicated that he personally feels that all the hours the Zoning Officer can put in the better. He sees abandoned cars, etc., and feels something should he done about it. Also sees a lot of room in the Town of Ulysses for growth. Mr. Herrick asked if Mr. Durling sees himself as representing any particular group in the community. Mr. Durling responded quite obviously the Fire Department would be one. Deals with local businesses and people. Mrs. Duddleston asked if he would have any problem with the meetings. Mr. Durling stated that he had no problem, time wise, with the meetings. He has dealt with a lot of heavy equipment, has assisted Mr. Meeker and his crew on differ- ent occasions. Spent a great deal of time thinking over whether or not to apply for the position, and decided that he would be interested. -I TOWN OF ULYSSES SPECIAL BOARD MEETING November 13, 1984 Page 4 Hearing no further questions or comments; the interviews were con- cluded. Mr. Reitz asked to address the Board. He stated that there are four candidates for the position, and feels that this is a tribute to the Town. He feels that at the last Regular Town Meeting, the fact that 50 people showed up is important. Mr. Luster indicated that he was thrilled that there were four appli- cants for the vacancy, all very qualified. Mr. Herrick also indicated that he was gratified with the interest in the community shown by the four. candidates. He suggested that obviously only one can be chosen to fill the vacancy, but did point out that next year there will be three vacancies on the Board, and suggested that they consider their candidacy for the positions. Mr. Herrick thanked all the candidates for their time and interest. Mr. Luster indicated that action would be taken by Tuesday, November 20th at the Regular Meeting. Mr. Luster had one other item to take care of before adjournment. The Youth Program for 1985, the same amount has been budgeted for 1985 as in 1984. He asked for a resolution authorizing him to complete and submit to the County Youth Board, the project application for 1985. Mr. Herrick moved, seconded by Mrs. Duddleston the adoption of the following resolution: RESOLVED: that Mr. Luster, Supervisor, complete and submit to the County Youth Board, the project application for 1985.

I would like to make some personal comments regarding the position and of my qualifications. First, whoever the Board chooses to fill this position will have to "fill some very large shoes" as I know Bill Agard was a very dedicated, hard working, conscientious and sincere member of the Board. I believe it incumbent of the Board to look for those qualifications, especially dedication, as a requisite for the position. We both know its not like joining a social club but a commitment to the Town residents to provide the best government by giving of your time and self. My qualifications for councilman Include this dedication as I have actively demonstrated by my attendance and participation at Town board and many other special meetings for the past 5 years. Recently there has been interest and a need for creation of a water district to include Jacksonville. I have already worked on this potential project for the Town, live in the area to be served and also represent the residents as President of the Jacksonville Community Association. As a Town Board member, if requested, I would be willing to take a leadership role in this project. Another possible advantage for the town is my residency being three houses away from the Town Highway garage and my availability to quickly assist in that area. Since I also live In the same geographic district as Bill did, I believe I would better understand and represent the concerns of the rural hamlet residents in our •Town. •, • • M I would bring to the Board the interest of the rural hamlet residents, and whenever needed, the resources from Cornell University. These are only some reasons why I should be selected for the vacancy. I believe we have been In general agreement and of common concern regarding areas of our Town government operations. I would like to have the opportunity to serve and work with you on the Board. I would be happy to meet with you individually or the Board collectively to further explore my qualifications or goals. • Respectfully yours, Thomas F. Reitz A RESUME Thomas F.

An environmental impact report and the Tompkins County Health Department inspection has been made ® on the eastern 8 lot block. Zoning Officer, Dave Zimet reported that he had received copies of the above reports. It is Mr. Parker's plan to develop the eastern block of eight (8) lots at this time and to hold the western block of eight (8) units for development at a later date. The proposed road to be constructed under Town specifications and dedicated to the Town was discussed. Mr. Parker had received specifications for road construction from Rolfe Holtkamp. He will now check with Mr. Meeker to bring those specs up to date before construction begins. Discussion of the point at which the Town should dedicate the road was discussed and general agreement was reached that the Town should not dedicate the road to the eastern group of eight (8) lots until four (4) lots are developed. Resolved: The Planning Board of the Town of Ulysses recommends approval of the 16 lot Planned Development Area on Perry City Road proposed by Richard E.

Respectfully Submitted, Richard Backer ULYSSES TOWN BOARD REGULAR MEETING November 20, 1984 The Regular Meeting of the Ulysses Town Board was called to order at 8:00 PM by Supervisor Martin Luster, who then led those assembled in the Pledge of Allegiance to the Flag of the United States of America. Present: Martin Luster, Supervisor; Elizabeth Bixler, Attorney; Marsha Georgia, Town Clerk; Robert Herrick, Councilman; Carolyn Duddleston, Councilwoman; James Vorp, Councilman; James Meeker, Highway Superintendent. Pr esent: resent: See attached. ® Mr. Luster entertained a motion to approve the minutes of the Special Board Meeting of October 4, 1984; the Regular Board Meeting of October 9, 1984; the Public Hearing of November 7, 1984; and the Special Board Meeting of November 13, 1984. Carolyn Duddleston moved, seconded by James Vorp. Hearing no corrections or additions, the minutes were unanimously approved. Mr. Luster commended Paula Mount and Marsha Georgia on the out -standing job of typing the minutes. Mark Vann, Chief, Trumansburg Fire Department gave his report. (See attached copy). He also reported that the large diameter hose system has now been placed in service. James Mason, Representative, was unable to attend. He was attending the County hearing on Veteran's Exemptions. There was nothing to report on his behalf. Mr. Luster introduced Charles Hill to the Board. Mr. Hill represented the Pyrotechnic Guild International. The Board had received copies of correspondence regarding an application by that organization for the purpose of obtaining a fire works permit. Mr. Hill gave a brief presentation, outlining the activities of the organization and the convention he proposed to hold at the Trumansburg Fair Grounds in the Town of Ulysses. The Guild was formed in 1969 and they hold a seminar/ convention once a year. These have generally been held out west and this is the first in this area. Mr. Hill pointed out that only members of the Guild can purchase fire works; they hold competitions in the evenings and on the last day of the convention a large public display is given. Their main goal is safety first. The public display is something very few people will ever see in a life -time --only because the Guild members are here and giving their best show. An anticipated 300 Guild members are expected to participate in this event. The event is to be held August 12-17, 1985 and the displays will not go beyond 11:30 P.M. They are usually finished by 10:30 but due to possible weather problems are asking for an 11:30 finishing time. Mr. Luster stated that he understood Mr. Hill had the Fair Association approval and asked if any contact had been made with the local Fire Department. Mr. Hill said he had not contacted the Fire Department as yet. The Guild has a safety director and about ten to twelve people under him. Everything is carefully controlled. Mr. Vorp asked if there had been any serious injuries in the past and Mr. Hill replied none whatsoever. Mr. Luster indicated that the application sets forth that there will be liability insurance and proposed in the Resolution • set forth in the agenda, that a certificate of indemnification agreement signed by the organization. Mr. Hill agreed. Mr. Vorp asked Ms. Bixler if she was satisfied with the legalities, and she indicated that the things the Town would be concerned about have been touched upon. Mr. Luster indicated that one aspect that should be brought out is that Mr. Hill has requested that we arrange for the partial closing of Rabbit Run Road during display time, except for residents of the road, for safety reasons. Mr. Hill asked that the Town arrange, either through the Sheriff's Office or our Highway Dept., a barricade be set up at either end of Rabbit Run Road during the times of firing. The houses are far enough away so as not to present a safety problem, but passing automobiles could present a problem. Mr. Hill showed a diagram of the Fair Grounds, showing the distance to various properties, and the road, indicating that the distance is well beyond that required for safety. Mark Vann indicated that the Fire Department would be happy to work with the Guild in any way necessary. Mr. Herrick voiced his concern about a new home on the road that might be close. ULYSSES TOWN BOARD Il REGULAR MEETING I!y November 20, 1984 Page 2 Mr. Hill indicated that the horn danger. Mr. Luster stated that would be notified in writing of place concerning the numbers of this, parking and seating, etc. help in crowd control. D being referred to was not in any all residents on Rabbit Run Road the event. Further discussion took people coming to an event such as The American Legion would perhaps Mr. Luster asked for further questions or comments and hearing none, entertained a motion on the Resolution adding to that list of corres- pondence, November. 15, 1984 the item that conforms to the Penal Law. The Resol"tion was changed to read from August 12-17, 1985. "Mr. Vorp moved, seconded by Mrs. Duddleston, the adoption of the following resolution: RESOLVED: that the Supervisor be and he hereby is authorized ® to issue a fireworks permit pursuant to the pro- visions of the Penal Law to Pyrotechnic Guild International for the period August 12-17, 1985 upon the terms and conditions set forth in the application and correspondence of October 4th, October 31st, November 2nd and November 15th, 1984 and upon receipt of a certificate of insurance in accordance therewith and the execution of an indemnification agreement by the applicant to the Town. Adopted: Mr. Vorp Aye Mrs. Duddlestcn Aye Mr. Herrick Aye Mr. Luster Aye The Town will send a permit to the Guild and in the meantime would like to receive a certificate of insurance and an indemnification agreement which will be subject to the approval of the Town Attorney. Mr. Hill asked for the Board to send a letter of approval, and it was agreed that a Certified Resolution would be sent. Mr. Luster asked for a motion to approved General Fund Claims Nos. 244-297 $11,652.53; Highway Claims Nos. 159-172 $6,284.26; and Part Town Claims Nos. 69-79 $307.85. Mr. Herrick moved to approve the Claims, seconded by Mrs. Duddleston. Adopted: Mr. Vorp Aye Mrs. Duddleston Aye Mr. Herrick Aye Mr. Luster Aye The Supervisor's Financial Report had been distributed. There were no questions or comments. OLD BUSINESS Mr. Luster explained the existing Personnel Policy, with regard to the Health Insurance. With increases, the Health Insurance could cost the Town a fortune if they adhere to the present policy. Mr. Luster, several months ago, asked for the authority to draft and present at tonight's meeting, a resolution regarding Town Health ® Insurance, which if adopted, would amend the existing Personnel Policy. (See attached Town Health Insurance draft resolution). Mr. Luster read the draft resolution. Mr. Herrick indicated that concerning Item d., in the past it applied to personnel after 10 years. Mr. Luster stated that he hadn't found anything in writing to this effect. Ms. Bixler said that in Item d, it might be good to be explicit to add that these retired employees are eligible for this plan so that it would state that after so many years of continuous employment by the Town, retiring employees shall be eligible for the plan and be entitled to contribution.by the Town.... Mr. Luster pointed out that the discussion does not include pension, retirement, or anything else, just health insurance. Several sugges- tions were offered such as; probationary period, time limit, etc. Was also suggested that health insurance policies at County Personnel and the Hospital be checked. Mr. Luster indicated that he had talked ULYSSES TOWN BOARD ,0 REGULAR MEETING November 20, 1984 Page 3 with Hugh Ilurlburt in the past, but doesn't know what the County policy is at the moment. Mr. Luster indicated to the Board that after they review this, to please drop off any suggestions or comments. After reviewing all input, and putting together a more firm resolution for action in December, would like to have this in place by January 1,1985 so that if the Town takes on people after that date, they will know where they stand. Was agreed to table this for the December meeting. At the last Regular Meeting, the Board asked for people to come forward who were interested in filling the vacancy on the Town Board. Four people indicated an interest - Richard Durling, Tom Reitz, Bob Weatherby and Bill Savey. These people were interviewed by the Board at a Special Meeting on November 13th. This is not an election, ® so election procedures are not followed, it is a resolution by the Board and the resolution must carry by three members of the Board. Mr. Luster suggested to the Board that they have a discussion of the four applicants, followed by a Straw Poll to be taken in writing, but available to the public. Legally the determination must be by resolution, by vote on a resolution. Mr. Luster opened the floor to Board members and the public to speak out in behalf of any of the candidates. Mr. Luster indicated that a great deal of corres- pondence had been received supporting the different candidates and passed around for the Board to see,a further document he had received. Mr. Luster opened the floor for discussion. Hearing no comments, Mr. Luster stated that he was pleased that four applicants had applied for this position and speaking for the Board, feels that they can work with any of the four. Speaking for himself only, Mr. Luster spoke in favor of Tom Reitz. Mr. Luster then asked for others who wished to speak, and hearing none asked if it was the desire of the Board to proceed to the straw vote. Mark Vann spoke in favor of Richard Durling, as did James Meeker. Hearing no further comments, the vote was taken. Mr. Luster announced the results as follows: Bob Weatherby had 13 votes, the other three, Richard Durling, Bill Savey and Tom Reitz, each had nine. Mr. Luster asked for any motions. Mr. Herrick moved that the results of the poll as tabulated be accepted by the Board and that Bob Weatherby be named as the councilman to sit until the next election. Mrs. Duddleston seconded the motion. Unanimously approved. Mr. Luster offered his congratulations to Bob Weatherby and invited him to join the rest of the Board members. David Zimet asked if this will leave a vacancy on the Planning Board, and Mr. Luster indicated that you cannot serve on two Boards, and that Mr. Weatherby will need to send a letter of resignation from the Planning Board. NEW Lusters asked, with the consent of the Board, to table until the December meeting the Resolution regarding Capital Reserve Fund for Building and Alterations. An item not on the Agenda was brought up by Mr. Luster. The Planning Board has .met on the request by Richard Parker for a Development Dis- trict, and has recommended with some restrictions, approval of the Parker Development District. A Public Hearing was scheduled for December 11, 1984 at 7:00 PM. • Mr. Luster continued on with Item B - 1985 Budget.

Mr. Luster asked for discussion. Mrs. Duddleston indicated that an item brought to her attention was the Bookkeeper's salary. It was suggested that she be paid hourly at $5.00 per hour rather than the $5,000. salary she now receives. Mr. Herrick supported this proposal. Mr. buster suggested that the $5,000. be left as appropriated and resolve by seperate resolution that she be paid by the hour, rather than a salary for the year. Mr. Herrick felt the suggestion satis- factory. There followed comments from the public supporting the Bookkeeper and the salary she receives. The Bookkeeper provides a professional service. It was indicated that the Bookkeeper is always ULYSSES TOWN BOARD ( ( ? REGULAR MEETING November 20, 1984 Page 7 Section 3.

Section 5. Tt's local law shall take effect immediately upon its filing with t;- Secretary of State. Mr. Luster indicated that there is a fourth option that does not require a Local Law; if we do nothing, the full exemption comes into effect. Mr. Luster received a letter dated October 25, 1984 from Ralph K. Pierson stating that effective December 31, 1984, he. is retiring as custodian of Voting Machines for the Town of Ulysses. Mr. Luster entertained a motion; motion made by Mr. Vorp, seconded by Mr. Herrick the adoption of the following resolution: RESOLVED: that said resignation be accepted with the thanks and appreciation of the Board for his services. Adopted: Mr. Herrick Aye Mrs. Duddleston Aye Mr. Vorp Aye Mr. Luster Aye Mr. Weatherby Aye This means that there is a vacancy for custodian for Voting Machines. The Board would be interested in receiving names of individuals who might be interested in filling this vacancy. The next item of discussion was the Contract with the Town of Ithaca Building Code Inspector. Elizabeth Bixler pointed out the current arrangement we have with the Town of Ithaca. Ms. Bixler indicated that she would like to change a little bit of the wording of the proposed resolution, to make it clearer that when the Town of Ulysses authorizes its Supervisor to sign this contract, what it is doing at the same time is appointing Lou Cartee as the Building Inspector for the Town of Ulysses. This would leave no question that he has been appointed an officer, and in turn there is no question that he is covered by the Town of Ulysses insurance policies. Ms. Bixler suggested modifing the resolution to state: that the Supervisor be authorized to execute the proposed contract as revised by the Town Attorney for Building Code Enforcement services and to negotiate with the Building Inspector in accordance therewith, and THAT IT BE FURTHER RESOLVED: that Lou Cartee be appointed by said contract, as the Building inspect- or for the Town of Ulysses. Mr. Luster added that Lou would spend each Tuesday and Thursday, except for holidays, from 1-5 PM holding office hours in the Town of Ulysses. We would, as we have been doing, turn over to the Town of Ithaca these building fees that we receive in. This compensates the Town of Ithaca for the time Lou is spending in the Town of Ulysses. Mr. Vorp motioned, seconded by Mr. Herrick adoption of the following resolution: RESOLVED: that the Supervisor be authorized to execute the proposed contract as negotiated by the Town attorney, with the Town of Ithaca for Building Code enforcement services and to negotiate with the Building Inspector in accordance therewith, and BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED: that in accordance with said contract, ULYSSES TOWN BOARD I i if REGULAR MEETING November 20, 1984' Page 6 Section 1.

BE IT ENACTED BY THE TOWN BOARD OF THE TOWN OF ULYSSES AS FOLLOWS: 7.. ULYSSES TOWN BOARD REGULAR MEETING November 20, 1984 Page 8 Adopted: I 0 I3.® that Lewis Cartoe be appointed by the Town of Ulysses as the Building Inspector for the town for the year 1985. Mr. Weatherby Aye Mr. Herrick Aye Mr. Vorp ' Aye Mrs. Duddleston Aye Mr. Luster Aye BUIWIi G OI0DE O0NIVACT This is a contract between the Town of Ulysses (hereafter "Ulysses") a municipal corporation, and the Town of Ithaca (hereafter "Ithaca•) a municipal corporaticn. RECITALS 1. Chapter 707 of the Laws of 1981, co monly referred to as the Uniform Fire Prevention and Building Code Act, imposes on all municipalities in the State of New York certain mimirtum administration and enforcement standards concerning the Code. 2. jl The State of New York Constitution and the General Memicipal Ij taw, Article 5-G, grant local governments the power to'cooperate in • I IL the enforcement of such codes. 3. Ithaca employs a full time Building Inspector. 4. Ulysses has no building inspector (inspector), in large part because the number of applications for building permits in Ulysses has not been enough to necessitate such an miployee. 5. With the Uniform Fire Prevention and Building Code Act in effect, Ulysses requires the services of an inspector. Ulysses has requested Ithaca to provide the services of its Building Inspector (Inspector) in consideration of the agreements and provisions set forth belw: TERMS 1. Applications for building permits in PAyoapswill be on the attached form, "Town of Ulysses Application for',Building PermitTM, ThO/ES 2 and will be submitted to the Ulysses ltwi Clerk with the fee as indicated on the schedule in the application. 2. (A) Ithaca's duly appointed Inspector will provide the above services required by Ulysses. His duties will,be limited solely to the issue of Building Permits, to review applications and plans, therefore, make field inspections, authorize issuance of Certificates of Ccrplianoe, with the building codes and keeping of records, provided that those services will be limited to permits and certificates for new construction or alterations or additions to existing construction for which applications for permits are made to Ulysses. It is specifically agreed that the Inspector's duties do not otherwise .include inspection of • existing construction, buildings and premises. . (B) The Inspector will devote each Tuesday and Thursday (except holidays).fran 1:00 P.M. to 5:00 P.M. to holding office hours at the Ulysses offices and making field inspections. If he cannot attend, on either of those days because of Ithaca duties, illness, absence from the vicinity, etc., he will be available on another day of the week. 3. (A) The normal work week of the Inspector for the Taal of Ithaca is 35 hours. To reimburse Ithaca for that portion of the 35 hours devoted by the Inspector to his Ulysses duties as particularly specified above, including the II normal use of the Town automobile by the Inspector, Ulysses will reimburse Ithaca with all fees derived from IIissuance of Building Permits and Certificates of npliance with such permits. (B) Ulysses will reimburse the Inspector directly for services IIrendered by him in excess of the time specified in 19 ULYSSES TOWN`BO.QRD RcGULAR 24SETING Nftvember 20, 1984 P qe 9 0 I 3 paragraph 2 above and reasonable expenses incurred, on such terms and conditions as Ulysses and the Inspector shall agree. 4. INSURANCE AND IDENNIFI(ATION (A) Ulysses represents that it has enacted, and will adopt and keep in effort, resolutions and local laws to indemify its officers and employees pursuant to the provisions of Public Officer's Law Section 18, and that such enactments and procedures will cover and apply to the Inspector in the course of the performance of his work for Ulysses. Ulysses will take whatever steps nay be necessary to assure that adoption of Public Officer's law Section 18 iI procedures are kept validly in effect. ;I the Ulysses will, at its expense, defend Inspector and the Rbam, and its officers and employees against all claims for damages and other liability for any act, negligence or mission to act occurring in the course of work performed for and in behalf of Ulysses by the Inspector and will idannify and save harmless the Inspector, his Iyrepresentatives and heirs, the Town and its officers against all such claims, damages, liability and expenses, including reasonable attorney's fees. Ulysses represents that it has and will maintain adequate insurance for the foregoing purposes. 6. This agreement will be effective as of November 1, 1984, and shall continue until it is revoked by either party on 30 day's notice. It shall be subject to annual review by the parties, not later than November of each year. 52 In witness whereof, this agree ent has been executed by the respective supervisors of Ulysses and Ithaca, this _ — day of November, 1984. ATTEST: lbw► of Ithaca !tthci Clerk Tbwn Clerk STATE OF NEW YORK C0EWY OF TOMPKINS by To&m Superysor Town of Ulysses by Town SLpeivisor Z On this day of November, 1984, before me, came Noel Desch, to me personally known who, being by me duly sworn did depose and say that he resides at 132 Updike Wad, Ithaca, New York and that he is the Supervisor of the Town of Ithaca, who executed the within Instrument, and he acknowledged to me that he executed the same. STATE OF NEW YORK OCniry OF IQWKINS ) On this day of November, 1984, before me, cage Martin Luster, to me personally kaiown who, being by ma duly sworn did depose and say that he resides at and that he is the Supervisor of the Town of Ulysses, who executed the within Instrument, and he acknowledges to me that he executed the acme. Abtary Public 2 ULYSSES TOWN BOARD REGULAR MEETING November 20, 1984 Page 10 Mr. Luster is in receipt of a request from Ulysses Youth Unlimited. Apparently they are revamping their Board of Directors and rearranging the services from which their directors come. Mr. Luster read the letter from Carol Morraco, Pres. Executive Board of Directors, UYU, which thanks the Town of Ulysses for its financial support, also status of the importance of having the input from their funders. Therefore, the UYU Executive Board of Directors are seeking at least one representative from each funding source to serve on the Board of Directors. This representative would be involved in the decision making and the development of goals for UYU programs that are dis- cussed at the quarterly Board Meetings. Mr. Luster would like to see this representative a Board Member who ® could act as a direct liaison with UYU and the Town Board. He asked if there were any volunteers. Hearing no response from the Board, Mr. Luster suggested the matter be tabled at this time and act on it at the December Meeting. Mr. Luster read a request from David Zimet, Zoning Officer, in regard to an amendment to the Zoning Ordinance, to directly deal with the installation of TV Dish Antennas. Because of the geometric necessities of the disk antennas, more and more requests will be forth coming to install in front yards. All such requests require a ZBA Hearing. Mr. Zimet asked if a process could be established and set out in the ordinance that would deal more expediently with many of these cases. Mr. Zimet went on to explain that positioning of the antenna is vital and sometimes that position requires a variance. He has met with Satellite Dish Antenna dealers and because of the position of the satellite the dish has to be angled so that it is free from any trees, houses, etc. He also has talked to Gary Evans of the Tompkins County Planning, our Town Planning Board and our attorney. He feels he has a solution, basically to sum it up; first place of placement would be in rear yard, where that is not possible or not practical then a side yard, with appropriate screening from the neighbors and/or from the road. The one thing Mr. Zimet needs to evaluate with the Board is that he handle as many of these variances himself if possible, and only refer those that he doesn't feel he can make clear decisions on to the ZBA. This would eliminate a ZBA Hearing for every applica- tion. Mr. Luster suggested that Mr. Zimet and Ms. Bixler, Town Attorney, get together and draft a proposed amendment to the Zoning Ordinance. Mr. Luster is not in favor of piecemeal amendments to the Zoning Ordinance, but because this situation affects so many people, and is a potential drain on our resources and overbearing for the ZBA, that perhaps this should be considered a separate matter. So, there- fore, David and Elizabethshould come up with a draft amendment for the next meeting. David suggested that because we do have to have a public hearing, that it would be a good opportunity to take the most difficult parts of the Zoning Ordinance, particularly the ones that are not now in conflict with the State Codes and make these changes a part of the public hearing. Such as to clarify that Zoning approval is needed and that Building Codes approval is needed. He would like to take three to four sections and draft it out and bring it to the • Board. The Board had no problems with that procedure. Mr. Luster also informed the Board that the Department of State has proposed more regulations in regard to the Uniform Fire Prevention and Building Codes. One of those regulations requires municipalities who are enforcing the codes to adapt local regulations. Right now we don't have that - we say we have adopted the State Codes and that we are going to enforce it. They require that we actually promulgate regulations under that code, to be a little more specific. Mr. Luster doesn't think it is too horrendous, because they suggest a minimum standard, minimum set of regulations. if we go along with their minimum standards, it shouldn't be 18 pages of regulations but maybe a page and a half of regulations. I ULYSSES TOWN BOARD REGULAR MEETING November 20, ].984 Page 11 Mr. Zimot asked if this gives us the option to reject certain parts of the NYS Uniform Code. Mr. Luster said no, what it does is, or its intent is, to put the public on notice as to the major require- ments of the code. Mr. Luster said the regulations have not yet been adopted by the State, so until they are we will just put this aside until they are adopted. Mr. Herrick responded to Lou Cartee that his input would certainly be important in looking into these regulations. The matter of the SPCA Contract was tabled at this time. Mr. Luster would like to get together with Elizabeth and attempt to summarize. As far as Mr. Luster is aware, no other town has adopted it. It does call for a substantial increase to the SPCA and various ways to increase collection of money. Marsha Georgia, Town Clerk had no verbal report. Her monthly written report is on file in the Office of the Supervisor. Mr. Zimet's report was mainly in regard to the Dish Antennas which he had previously given. October saw a slacking off of applications for building permits, but he saw a great deal of activity with the antennas. Four out of eights permits were for this. Time in the office this month was used preparing material for the ZBA hearings. Two complaints received in October for junk cars have been resolved. Mr. Cartee, Building Inspector thanked the Town Board for finally getting close to a contract. He went on to report in the month of October ten building permits were issued (report attached) total construction cost of $134,300.00. He added for the months of May through November a total of 56 permits with a total construction cost of $987,499.00. James Meeker, Highway Superintendent, reviewed his activity for October (copy attached). He mentioned a problem down on Glenwood Pines, parking lot, and Maplewood Road that joins with Route 89. The parking there creates a vision problem for traffic coming up Maplewood to 89. The Town crew stripped along 89 off of Maplewood Road and installed No Parking signs to alleviate the problem. Mr. Meeker announced that the new Zoning signs have arrived and will be installed. Mr. Luster asked if any of the Board had anything additional to report on. Mr. Weatherby stated, "I would just like to thank the Board on my appointment, and hope that I can do a good job." Mr. Luster welcomed him aboard and assured him he would be put to work. Hearing no other business, Mr. Vorp motioned for adjournment, unanimously carried. The meeting was adjourned at 10:05 PM. • Marsha L.

Present: Martin Luster, Supervisor, Councilpersons Robert Herrick, Carolyn Duddleston, James Vorp and Robert Weatherby, and Marsha Georgia, Town Clerk. Others Present: David Zimet, Zoning Officer and Lewis Cartee, Building Inspector. Notice of the meeting was posted on the Clerks bulletin hoard. Mr. Cartee, Building Inspector commented that the cover letter ® with the new contract from the Town of Ithaca stated that possibly they weren't getting enough money per permit, based on permits done and total of fees collected. Mr. Cartee suggested that the Town of Ulysses eliminate Building Permits for small construction, Example: a storage shed, and let the Zoning Officer handle the Zoning Permit only. Mr. Luster asked if under the Uniform State Building Code were there any cut offs as to what value had to have on Building Permits? Mr. Cartee responded that on a storage shed type construction; there is no electrical, so usually only lot lines are the items checked out. The Zoning Officer now checks this and sees no purpose of his involv- ment. Mr. Cartee stated that it would be a more adequate way of showing the Town of Ithaca Building Permit fees against Building Permits. Mr. Zimet explained that of 6 permits issued, one may be for a large home with a permit fee of $150. and the other 5 for storage shed type construction all being at $5.00. Their suggestion would just elimin- ate the lower end of this scale. Mr. Vorp commented that this makes sense to him. He feels if the Zoning Officer and Building Inspector are satisfied and we stay within the State Codes --- Code requirements are met. Mr. Luster commented that as long as the two (Zoning Officer and Building Inspector) have a clear idea as what has to be approved as a building application the Board has no objection to this proce- dure. He went on to say that it looks like the Town needs to make, or have some kind of regulation in place, on top of our Local Law. Mr. Vorp moved, seconded by Mr. Herrick the adoption of the following • resolution: RESOLVED: that the Town Board of the Town of Ulysses delegate to the Zoning Officer and the Building Inspector the • authority to determine between themselves as to which structures need not come under the Uniform State Fire and Building Codes, and as to those structures the Zoning Officer will have authority to issue a Zoning Permit. Adopted: Mr. Luster Aye Mr. Herrick Aye Mrs. Duddleston Aye Mr. Vorp Aye Mr. Weatherby Aye Mrs. Georgia asked if there would be a Zoning only permit made up. Mr. Zimet responded that he would in fact make one up as of January 1. Also,, Mr. Cartee stated that for these (Zoning Permit Only) that NO Certificate of Compliance would be issued. a e 2. Its Zimet did ask permission to attend the next school regarding the State Codes. The Board agreed that this would be acceptable to them. Mr. Cartee mentioned he had talked to Mr. Buyoucos today, and the contract is being looked over. Hopefully we will have this in place by January 1, 1985.

The exemption is limited to $5,000. of assessed value. The proposed new Veterans' Real Property Tax Exemption Law (chapter 525 Laws of 1984) would change the existing law: It would include Veterans of the Korean War and the Vietnam War. It would cover real property used as a residence of the Veteran (even if not purchased with pension, bonus or insurance money). It would increase the exemption as described below. The Town of Ulysses has several choices available to it with respect to the new law. CHOICE #1 If the Town adopts no local law the full exemption under the new law would go into effect and remain in effect for ten years. It provides: For a Veteran, an exemption of 15% of the assessed value of a home (but not more than $12,000. of assessed value). For a Combat Zone Veteran, an additional exemption of 10% of the assessed value of a home (but not more than an additional $8,000. of assessed value). For a Disabled Veteran an additional exemption of 50% of his disability rating (but not more than an additional $40,000. of assessed value). For example, if a person owned a house assessed at $40,000. and the tax rate were $3.61 per thousand dollars of assessed value, his tax would be $144.40. A Veteran would receive an exemption of 15% of the assessed value ($6,000.) resulting in the tax being figured on $34,000. His tax would be $122.74. If he were a Combat Zone Veteran he would receive an additional exemption of 10% of. the assessed value ($4,000.) resulting in • a tax being figured on $30,000. His tax would be $108.30. If he were also a Disabled Veteran with an 80% disability he would receive an additional exemption of 50% of his disability rating ($16,000. calculated as follows: 50% x 80% . 40%. 40% of $40,000. - $16,000.) resulting in a tax figured on $14,000. His tax would be $50.54. 1 I C, L,U L. • TOWN OF ULYSSES PUBLIC HEARING December 4, 1984 Page 5 CHOICE #2 The Town can adopt a local'law lowering the maximum limits for the exemption to $9,000., $6,000., and $30,000. The exemption would then read 15% of the assessed value but no more than $9,000. for Veterans. An additional 10% but no more than $6,000. for Combat Zone Veterans. An additional 50% of disability rating for Disabled Veterans but no more than $30,000. In the above example none of the figures would have changed with this lower limit on the maximum exemptions. CHOICE #3 The Town can adopt a local law lowering the maximum limits for exemption to $6,000., $4,000. and $20,000. The exemption would then read 15% of the assessed value but no more than $6,000. for Veterans. An additional 10% but no more than $4,000. for Combat Zone Veterans. An additional 50% of disability rating for Disabled Veterans but no more than $20,000. In the above example, none of the figures would have changed with this lower limit on the maximum exemptions. CHOICE #4 The Town can adopt a local law providing that the proposed new law not go into effect. That would mean that the present law granting Veterans' Exemptions would remain the law. It also means that the Town could choose to be subject to the new Veterans' exemption in the future after it had seen what its effect had been. December 4, 1984 Respectfully submitted, Elizabeth 1. Bixler Town Attorney Mr. Luster introduced into the record and read correspondence from Harry T. DeLibero, State Veterans Counselor. Mr. DeLibero had business in Albany and could not attend tonight. The letter Mr. Luster received follows: L - D!. Nicholas F.

Luster , supervisor Town of Ulysses 2ru.anaburge-New York 14886 Dear Mr. luster: i a. writing about the now real property tax exemption and offering a realistic astiaata of the impact of the Town of Ulysses. TOWN or ULYSSES PUBLIC HEARING December 4, 1984 Page 6 p33 The numbers I offer are only estimates. It would be necessary to know each veteran owner, each owner who is a widow of a veteran, the value of each parcel, details on the veteran's military service and the amount of any disability rating. tiacb variable will be specific to the affected parcel. As a result it is impossible to determine a specific impact. The estimate of over 8 million dollars in lost assessment in the Town of Ulysses, although possible, is remotely so. I estimate a maxims exemption of 24 to 2 3/4 million dollars in assessed evaluation exempted under the new law. This is a maximum figure based on ny evaluation of veteran population and the value of the average rostdenttAl facility ($42,500) owned by veterans in Ulysses. Yes, there will be an impact. Yes, property tax rates may increase as a result of favorable board action. The increase however will be no- where near the numbers I've beard for the town. Many veterans I expect will never apply for the benefit out of choice. My estimate of 2.5 million would only occur if the town board agreed to take no action and allow the maximum veal property tax exemption to occur. Please contact as should you have any further questions. Sincere ' �MASAY T. State Veteran Counselor Mr. Luster further introduced and read correspondence from Don Franklin, Tompkins County Assessment Office, as follows: • tOMPKIN5. count? DIVISION OF.

New York 14886 Dear Martins The following is to confirm our telephone conversation of September I7, 1984 regarding the new veterans exemption. TOWN OF ULYSSES PUBLIC HEARING December 4, 1904 Page 7 ;31 The basis for calculating tht• impact of this law In part factual and part assumption. We currently know there ai approximately 10, 000 veterans, county- wide, of wvlrich 5, ODU are comb,.,. veterans. We do not know how many have a se, vice connrcted disability. There are currently 1,130 veterans exemption:, on residential property In the county. ® For the Town of Ulysses there are currently 04 veterans exemptions on residential property with a total exemption of $255. 500. The total assessed value of these parcels is $3. 558.100 or an average of $42, 400. ® Assuming an averagt exemption of 25%rthe average exemption under the new law would be $10. 600. If we assume the veterans are distributed among the municipalities within the county In the same relationship as the current veterans exemptions. Ulysses would have 756 eligible for the exemption. This would calculate Into a total exemption of $8. 013. 600. (42, 400 x 25% = 10. 600 x 756 = 8,013. 600). Martin Luster September 19, 1904 Page 2 With no way of knowing how inaccurate the assumptions might be, the conclusion is really no more than a guess. Sincerely. l�Qlc'jlll ��i�flf tAC11 Donald P. Franklin Director of Assessment DPF / ej Enclosure(s) Mr. Luster stated that the Board would listen to any comments from • the public tonight and action would be taken at the Regular Board meeting on Tuesday, December 11, 1984. 'The floor was open`e;d for public comments. Richard Montgomery.stated expressed his desire for that for the record he is a veteran. He the Board to consider at least adopting choice #3, Local Law #4. His opinion is based that under the present law, at least the Korean Vets, Viet Nam Vets and those that were unable to qualify for the existing exemption would have an opportunity to apply. He feels that Mr. DeLibero's point is well taken, and most likely the Assessment Offices estimates are high. William Savey responded that of the 84 parcels effected now, you have to realize that that figure includes parcels within the Village limits. He stated that the Village of Trumansburg passed it 100% to stay with- in the changes of the times. He pointed out that the assessed value of property will be increasing which will adjust the tax base. He reminded the Board that their decision should be based on an overall prospective of the people and not just their view on the situation. He stated that he served and was proud to serve. He favored that the TOWN OF ULYSSES ' 3� PUBLIC HEARING December 4, 1984 Page 8 Board choose to do nothing and therefore have the States full exemption for qualifying veterans. Norman Culver asked the Board if the veterans were classified as "needy" 7 Mr. Luster responded that "need" had no bearing on the qualifications of the exemption, that all veterans may qualify. Mr. Culver stated that he really had a difficulty with this exemption, where there may not be need. Yes these veterans have served, but they do receive pensions, other exemptions are available, if they don't take them it's no body's fault but their own. He doesn't agree ® with Mr. DeLibero when he states that not all veterans will apply for the exemption. He feels that the more attractive the exemption, the more that will take it. He stated that he would hate to see the tax base narrow to the point for landowners/homeowners to find it not ® advantageous to own. Mr. Culver suggested to the Board to choose option #4, Local Law #5, and not provide any form of exemption. He went on to comment that there is no real way of knowing the impact of the exemption and 10 years is a long time to saddle tax payers with the added burden. Joe Sladish stated that he agreed with Mr. Savey. He commented that others hadn't signed up before, they may not now. He himself may choose to, or wait until later to do so. He does believe he should have the opportunity if he chooses. Ton Reitz stated that as a veteran that served during peace time, he doesn't fall under the veterans exemption, but he feels we should remember the veteran that is renting property or who would not fall under this exemption. He feels the Town Board should set up a Committee with the American Legion and the Veterans to have a better idea of how many would qualify now; maybe a year from now can review this in depth. As a peace time veteran and taxpayer, he would like to see this researched. Mr. Montgomery stated that the majority of people attending tonight's hearing are people still employed, getting a salary or self employed. He stated that we all have to live with inflation, as inflation goes up, salaries go up. But we do have fixed income people, and their salaries do not go up. He feels what you are looking at is a lot of veterans in the WW2 category, especially those who are reaching the age of 65 or so, that are on Social Security, and that are on fixed incomes. The guy that is disabled for example, probably is on a fixed income. He would just like the Board to look at this from this aspect. Maybe they aren't on a fixed income now, but will fall in that category within the 10 year period. • Mrs. Marvin stated that she feels the Town should take choice #1, not pass any local law and go along fully with the State exemption. • The Village after all did. She also stated that the older veterans got breaks that the newer ones don't qualify for, so therefore give them the break now. • Mr. Savey commented that farmers are like veterans, they get free - bees from the government, such as putting their land in soil banks and getting money for now turning the soil. Of course the veterans can't do that, but that's the farmers way of getting a free -bee back from the government. They do this almost every year. Mr. Cell commented that anything people could do to help out the veterans that made it back from Viet Nam would be alright. Mr. Reitz commented that Mr. Herrick had a very valid point in a previous Town Board meeting and that was that all veterans should get a proper reimbursement, maybe through income tax cut -back. Mr. Reitz asked if this was being put in the resolution. To send a message to the state government that the local municipalities should not be dumped upon for this kind of an operation. TOWN OF ULYS6ES"r., PUBLIC HEARING December 4, 1984 Page 9 Mr. Luster responded to Mr. Reitz, and asked him to take a look at Section 1, Local Law #5, where it states just that. `36 Mr. Reitz asked if that section could be enacted in any local law. Mr. Sladish asked if the State had said what they would give if these laws were not passed. Is there anything coming out from the State directly. Mr. Luster said that what he understood, the initial bill that was introduced into the legislature called for reimbursement from the State to the municipalities. That by the time it went through the legislative process and got to the Governors desk, that State re- imbursement portion of the bill was dropped, leaving us with no • legal expectations of any type of State aid to make up part or all of this. As far as he knows, there is nothing in the works to modify, although a number of municipalities who have raised objections ® in one manner, shape or form to the fact the burden is placed on the local municipalities without any offer of State aid. J Mr. Savey asked if there was:a list of the Villages and Towns that have passed the exemption. Mr. Luster said he did not have a list. His recollection is that it is fairly mixed. Mr. Savey responded that a majority have passed it in one form or another. Mr. Luster stated that we should bear in mind, both Harry DeLibero and the County have estimated the average assessment value of a veterans home in the Town of Ulysses is $42,500. If that is accurate passing one of the two modifications would have no effect, because it is below the lower limit cut-off anyway. As far as the County goes they have a much broader range of property with assessed valua- tion going up into the hundreds of thousands and modification may have a dramatic effect. Mr. Bennett asked where it puts the taxpayer if the Town doesn't pass this seeing that the Village and the County did. Yr. Luster explained that it is all different taxes. There are three separate taxes. This does not apply to school taxes at all. Hearing no further comments, Mr. thanked everyone for coming. He next Tuesday, December 11, 1984. acting on this matter. Hearing adjourned at 8:15 PM. MLG/pm Luster closed the hearing and invited everyone to the meeting At that time the Board will be Marsha L. Georgia Town Clerk ULYSSES TOWN BOARD REGULAR MEETING December 11, 1984 The meeting was called to order at 8:00 P.M. by Martin Luster, Supervisor, who then led those assembled in the Pledge of Allegiance to the Flag of the United States of America. Present: Martin Luster, Supervisor; Councilpeople Robert Herrick, Carolyn Duddleston, James Vorp, Robert Weatherby; James Meeker, Highway Superintendent; Elizabeth Bixler, Attorney; Marsha Georgia, Town Clerk. Others Present: Please see attached sign -in sheet. The minutes of the Board Meeting of November 20, 1984, Special Board ® Meeting of December 4, 1984 and the Public Hearing of December 4, 1984 were distributed. Mr. Herrick moved, seconded by Mr. Vorp to approve the minutes. Unanimously approved. Richard Durling, from the Trumansburg Fire Department reported that for the month of November, in the Town of Ulysses, they had 10 fire calls, and 9 ambulance calls. Please see attached report. Representative James Mason reported that on December 18th at 5:30 PM a Public Hearing will be held on County Local Law #7 - a law estab- lishing a limited grant to assist and encourage municipalities in various Towns to initiate a public water feasibility study. This is a direct result of the Town of Ulysses concern of the Jacksonville water situation. The County will establish a grant program which will reimburse local municipalities up to 50% of the cost of the feasibility study to a maximum of $15,000. Mr. Mason also indicated that the TomTram situation is progressing, and it is his understanding that things are proceeding for a January start up. One note of good news, the fare will be $1.00 rather than $1.25 between Trumansburg and the City of Ithaca. This has come about due to additional monies from the State. The County did act on a local law concerning veteran's exemption. They are going with the $40,000. maximum exemption. Mr. Mason briefed the Board on the situation involving the sale of the old hospital. Mr. Luster thanked Mr. Mason and indicated that the Board had appropriated $2,500. in the 1985 Budget toward a feasibility study of the water problem in Jacksonville. He also mentioned that he would like to appear on December 18th at the Public Hearing to speak in favor of Local Law #7. Susan Perkins, Representative to the County Cable Commission spoke. She indicated that the public meeting held this Fall was well attended. She reviewed House Bill 4].03, passed in October, which will limit municipalities ability to collect franchises to a maximum of 5% of the fees. Also, in Trumansburg and Ulysses in the last year, the ACC completed nine extensions. They also received 343 complaints - either written or by telephone, from the Village and Town residents. Mr. Vorp moved, seconded by Mrs. Duddleston the adoption of the following resolution: RESOLVED: the previously examined claims General Fund Nos. 298-311 $2,048.07 Highway Fund Nos. 173-192 10,939.82 Part Town Fund Nos. 80-83 233.55 Adopted: Mr. Vorp Aye Mr. Herrick Aye Mrs. Duddleston Aye Mr. Weatherby Aye Mr. Luster Aye Mr. Luster indicated that this Financial Report is the Quarterly report. Please see attached. The adjustments to the Budget are to be tabled until the Adjourned Meeting on December 29, 1984. ULYSSES TOWN BOARD REGULAR MEETING December 11, 1984 Page 2 Mr. Luster gathered information from Tompkins County and the Tompkins Community Hospital concerning their Health Insurance policies, and reviewed those policies. Taking into consideration our Town policy, the policies from other areas, and discussion from the last meeting, Mr. Luster had drawn up two resolutions which he reviewed. Mr. Luster indicated that he would like to get some policy on the books at this meeting, since this is the last Regular Meeting before January 1st. Some discussion took place. Mr. Herrick motioned, seconded by Mr. Vorp the adoption of the following amended resolution: BE IT RESOLVED, that paragraph "5" of the Town Personnel Policies as revised 11/15/83 be amended to read as follows: 5a. The Town shall contribute 75% of the cost of health insurance under the Town's health insurance plan on behalf of all Town employees and dependents whose usual duties entail 20 or more hours per week, and such employees shall contribute 25% of the cost thereof. Any Town employee may participate at his/her own cost and expense if not eligible. b, Eligibility for health insurance benefits shall commence after one month of continuous employment. c. Elected officials. Members of the Town Board, the Supervisor, the Justices and the Tax Collector shall not be eligible for Town contribution to health insurance. The Highway Superintendent and Clerk shall be eligible. Any elected official may participate at his/her own cost and expense if not eligible. d. Limitations of hours. For the purpose of administering this policy, the Town Board may direct employees to maintain a regular work schedule consisting of a certain number of hours in each week. e. Benefits upon retirement. After 10 years of continuous employment by the Town, a retiring employee shall be entitled to contribution by the Town toward health insurance under the Town Plan in an amount equal to 50% of the contribution of the Town for that employee in effect immediately prior to the retirement. An employee retiring from Town service prior to ten years of continuous service shall not be entitled to Town contribution toward health insurance. f. Adjustment in salary. There shall be no adjustment in salary if any benefits under this policy are declined by the employee. g. Effective date. This policy shall be effective to employees first hired and elected officials whose first term commenced on and after January 1, 1985. Adopted: Mr. Vorp Aye • Mr. Herrick Aye Mrs. Duddleston Aye Mr. Weatherby Aye Mr. Luster Aye The Personnel Policy will be redone and distributed. Mr. Luster turned the discussion of the Veteran's Exemption over to Elizabeth Bixler who explained the hand-out she had provided. (See attached) She also explained the effective dates of different sections of the law. Mr. Luster pointed out that this means that the law the County passed is invalid and will have to redo it after January 1, 1985. What it means for us is that we can take up Local. Law #5 tonight and pass it and it would take effect and be proper in accordance with the guide- lines. We cannot act on Local Laws #3 or #4 until after December 31st and before January 31st, 1985. So, if there is a motion to adopt ULYSSES TOWN BOARD REGULAR MEETING December 11, 1984 Page 3 Local Law #5 (and that is the law that says the Town will not give any benefits; will not provide any of these alternative benefits) that motion would be in order tonight. Mr. Luster asked if there were any questions by the Board. Mr. Herrick asked if this is subject to all municipalities. Mr. Luster stated that if they were going to opt out they would have had to do it by that date. Cannot lower the exemption until the exemption is in effect. Mr. Vorp asked that if Local Law #5 is passed, can we turn around in January and reduce it? Ms. Bixler said you can repeal Local Law #5 anytime after you pass it and if you repeal it then the Veteran's Exemption will go into effect. Then you could reduce it by a second Local Law. ® If you do not opt out by the end of January it will go into effect and be in effect for ten years at some level - you can lower it or raise it in those 10 years but you cannot opt out altogether in those 10 years. On the other hand, if you did opt out now - you could get back into it some point during the 10 year period. For example: You opt out now and suppose in two years you decide you want to repeal the Law which opted you out - it would then go into effect to its full extent. Question, for 8 more years of 10? At least 8 years. Within that 8 years you could lower the maximum but never get out of it again. If you want to opt out, it must be now or in January. Mr. Mason commented that the County passed a resolution that demands that the state repeal this Law in its entirity and replace it with a Law that would benefit veterans through an income tax deduction based on need, thereby benefiting all veterans. Calling upon all municipal- ities in the State to support the resolution. Mr. Luster pointed out that he suggests they (the Board) could act on Local Law #5 tonight; or table Local Law #5 until January, but that doesn't give a great deal of leeway in terms of complying with the deadline. Additional comments were made. Mrs. Duddleston motioned for the adoption of Local Law #5. The motion was seconded by Mr. Herrick. Mr. Luster indicated there could be limited discussion, since there had been a Public Hearing on this issue. Mr. Herrick expressed his adversion to the bill and read Section 1 of Local Law #5 which expressed his feelings. Let the State fund the law, don't let it fall back on the municipalities. Bill Savey pointed out that this bill could also help widows of the Veterans. Mr. Vorp felt it too bad that the Korean and Viet Nam Veterans had to get hung up in this poorly legislated law - he wished somehow, other than this law, that they could be taken care of. He is not in favor Sof putting the tax burden on people who already have a high tax burden. Mr. Luster, speaking from his own point of view, looks at it strictly from a fiscal point. It has been estimated that it would cost approx- imately 3% of our tax base. Division of Assessment estimates it would cost roughly 10% of our tax base. If we allow the exemption to go through, it would take effect in 1986. Mr. Savey asked if the issue could be brought up again next year? Mr. Luster responded Yes. Mr. Culver indicated that all Veterans don't own property and in his view this would make them renters. He thinks it general knowledge that when you pay rent a certain percentage goes for taxes. Mr. Herrick mentioned that that was his point in suggesting that it is discriminatory. ULYSSES TOWN BOARD REGULAR MEETING December 11, 1984 Page 4 14I I I • El Mr. Culver went on to say you think you are giving something to the Veteran, and actually you are penalizing them. It was asked if any thought had been given to how many Veterans are in this County? Mr. Luster answered, Yes, he had asked the county for those figures and they had given their best estimate; they figure there are 750 eligible Veterans in the Town of Ulysses. No one has approached Mr. Welch, Town of Ulysses, for any figures. the top of their heads? who is Adjutant for the VFW in the Are they just taking figures off Mr. Luster said the figures given to us were supplied to the County by the Division of Veterans Affairs for the County -wide Veterans. The only way to verify numbers is to go house -to -house; and the pressure we are under to the passage of this legislation doesn't allow us time to do that. Mr. Welch siad that when a Veteran goes to get that tax exemption; he or she no doubt will have to take discharge papers; thus indicating where/when served. Not everyone is entitled to the exemption. He doesn't feel the figures and estimates are right. Mr. Luster said they may not be, he is not vouching for the figures. Mr. Herrick said that was part of the problem - the information needed to make a reasonable decision doesn't exist. He asked if Mr. Welch had done a census or had information. Mr. Welch indicated that he did not. Further discussion took place. Mr. Reitz recommended an ad hoc committee, as he had suggested at the Public Hearing. He would like to see it researched further, get some facts and figures. Mr. Luster added that we had a Public Hearing and about 15 people turned out. About 4 people spoke in favor. He doesn't see an over- whelming demand for granting these exemptions. Hearing no further discussion, Mr. Luster asked to hear a vote, but before doing so, would like to re -number Local Law #5 to read Local Law #3 to keep the numbers consecutive for the year. A Roll Call vote was called by Mrs. Georgia. Mr. Vorp Aye Mrs. Duddleston Aye Mr. Herrick Aye Mr. Weatherby Aye Mr. Luster Aye Local Law #3 adopted as follows: LOCAL LAW FOR THE TOWN OF ULYSSES LOCAL LAW NO. 3 OF THE YEAR 1984 A LOCAL LAW CONCERNING THE ALTERNATIVE VETERANS EXEMPTION FROM REAL PROPERTY TAXATION. BE IT ENACTED BY THE TOWN BOARD OF THE TOWN OF ULYSSES AS FOLLOWS: Section 1. Whereas the Town Board believes that the veterans of New York State could be better honored by laws which benefit all veterans and not just real property owners and whereas the, Town Board believes any such veterans benefit should come from the State of New York general fund and not from the real property tax payers of individual municipalities, this local law is enacted. ULYSSES TOWN BOARD REGULAR MEETING December 11,1 984 Page 5 Section 2. The purpose of this law is to provide that no exemption from real property taxes shall be granted pursuant to section 458-a of the Real Property Tax Law of the State of New York. Section 3. Pursuant to the provisions of subdivision 4 of section 458-a of the Real Property Tax Law of the State of New York, no exemption from real property taxes shall be granted pursuant to section 458-a of the Real Property Tax Law for purposes of real property taxes levied for the Town of Ulysses. section 4. If any part of this local law be adjudged invalid, such invalidation shall be confined to that part or provision and such adjudication whall not affect or impair the validity of the remainder of this law. Section 5. This local law shall take effect immediately upon its filing with the secretary of State. Mr. Herrick was excused from the meeting. Mr. Luster introduced the next resolution for correction in the adopted 1985 budget. Mr. Vorp moved, seconded by Mr. Weatherby, the adoption of the following resolution: WHEREAS, the 1985 budget adoption resolution (November 20, 1984) erroneously stated the appropriation for account B9050.8 to be $300. and account DB9050.08 to be $1000. and rn WHEREAS, said errors were inadvertent and did not reflect the intent of the Board, BE IT RESOLVED, that the said resolution be amended to show the following appropriations: B9050.08 $50. D89050.08 $200. Adopted: Mr. Vorp Aye Mrs. Duddleston Aye Mr. Weatherby Aye Mr. Luster Aye Mr. Luster introduced a resolution to formally set up a Reserve Account for Building and Alterations: Mr. Vorp moved, seconded by Mrs. Duddleston the adoption of the following resolution: WHEREAS, the Town of Ulysses in 1984 appropriated the sum of $15,000. to establish a fund for the improvement and alteration to Town Buildings, and WHEREAS, much of said fund will be unexpended in 1984, and WHEREAS, it is desired that said fund remain in existence for the purpose stated, therefore, BE IT RESOLVED: that General Fund Appropriation account A9950.4 be established as a Capital Reserve Fund in accordance with General Municipal Law section 6-c for the purpose of funding improvements and alterations to Town buildings, and that the unexpended balance in account A9950.4 as of the date hereof be transferred and appropriated to said Capital Reserve Fund. The Supervisor is authorized to invest the monies of said fund pursuant to section 6-f of the General Municipal Law. Adopted: Mr. Vorp Aye Mrs. Duddleston Aye Mr. Weatherby Aye Mr. Luster Aye Elizabeth Bixler reported on the 1985 SPCA Contract. She indicated that the NYS Agr/Markets law indicates that in each town where licenses are issued, most appoint a Dog Control Officer and most also establish ULYSSES TOWN BOARD REGULAR MEETING December 11, 1904 Page G 'yy and maintain a shelter for dogs. In lieu of doing that, any town can contract with a humane society, such as the SPCA, to take charge of those duties which the dog control officer and the shelter would have. With this in mind, the SPCA has asked Ulysses to contract with them so that the SPCA would do all that a Town is required to do by State law. The SPCA has asked that the Town pay $6,552. for this service as a flat fee, instead of paying a certain portion of the amount of money collected in licenses. So the possibly arises that more money is going to be paid but then collected. One of the things asked the SPCA attorney, is whether or not the SPCA would consider signing a contract with Ulysses saying that they would pay that amount, but in no event pay more than the amount collected. So money wouldn't have to be found in other funds to pay for this service. The answer she got was that,NO, they (SPCA) will not consider signing such a contract. Elizabeth stated that we pay for a dog control officer, provide a shelter, or contract with the SPCA to do so. Mr. Luster rounded out the decision stating that we have budgeted for this new contract of $6,552. He added that we do not anticipate the revenue that the SPCA says we may generate. Mr. Owl.ett, Ulysses Dog Enumerator, stated that at this time he really couldn't tell if the total number of dogs would go higher or stay the same. Mr. Luster replied that if the population (dog) remains the same his guess is that the Town would be somewhere around a $1000. to $1200. short. Meaning the cost of the contract would exceed our revenues from dog control. Mr. Mason replied that he was unaware the SPCA was asking for a contract that exceeds the amount of the fees. Mr. Luster stated that it doesn't exceed their estimates. The Town either goes with their contract or goes on their own. Mr. Reitz said that as a dog owner, it was mentioned there may be an increase in license fees. Mr. Reitz spoke in opposition to raising fees, because the SPCA contract for service and he feels they are not providing any additional services. He feels there are few complaints. Mr. Luster feels we have to comply with the Agr./Markets Law and have something in place, but feels as a practical matter that failing to authorize this contract tonight will place us in any jeopardy. He feels the SPCA will continue to service us until we work this out. Last year they serviced us for over a half year with no contract. Mr. Vorp stated he was not in favor of tax payers and non -dog owners paying any additional fees for dog licensing. Mr. Luster commented that that was one of the fees they would like us to raise - impounding fees. So the owner of a nuisance dog pays. Mr. Luster stated that this contract could be tabled or a resolution• passed directing him to reject the proposed contract and attempt again ® to negotiate a more reputable contract. Mr. Weatherby asked about the possibility of working with a Town that hasn't contracted and combining efforts. Mr. Vorp moved, seconded by Mrs. Duddleston the adoption of the following resolution: RESOLVED: that the Ulysses Town Board directs the Supervisor not to execute the proposed 1985 SPCA Contract, but to explore other methods, including municipal coopera- tion agreements, by which we might comply with the Agriculture and Markets Law; and to continue negotia- tions with the SPCA. Adopted: Mr. Vorp Aye Mrs. Duddleston Aye Mr. Weatherby Aye Mr. Luster Aye ULYSSES TOWN BOARD REGULAR MEETING December 11, 1984 Page 7 • Mr. Luster requested copies of the resolution so that he could send them out to other municipalities. Mr. Luster asked for the second time for a representative for Ulysses Youth Unlimited. He would like it to be a board member. Hearing no volunteers from the Board, he asked if anyone from the public would be willing to serve. Mr. Reitz made a suggestion that Richard Burton be approached as the Representative for the Town. Mr. Burton has stepped forward for Ulysses Community Council. Mr. Luster will look into this. NEW BUSINESS Due to Mr. Weatherby's appointment to the Town Board, a vacancy has been created on the Planning Board. The vacancy should be filled by the January meeting and would ask for anyone interested to let the Board know. The Board is in receipt of one letter from the Planning Board recommending Richard Durling. Because of some difficulties with the Photo Copy Machine on different occasions, that have resulted in major repairs at a cost to the Town, a resolution was introduced to deny public use. Mr. Luster moved, seconded by Mrs. Duddleston for adoption of the following resolution: WHEREAS, the public has been permitted to use the Town photo copy machine, and WHEREAS, the machine the Town, and WHEREAS, other photo available, BE IT RESOLVED: that be used only by Town business. Adopted: Mr. Luster Mr. Vorp Mrs. Duddleston Mr. Weatherby has been misused causing great expense to copy facilities in the Town are now henceforth the Town photo copier shall officials or employees and only for Town Aye Aye Aye Aye Mr. Luster moved, seconded by Mrs. Duddleston the adoption of the following resolution: RESOLVED: that Hon. James E. Rice be authorized to attend the 1985 Annual Meeting of the Association of Towns on behalf of the Town and that the Town reimburse him for reasonable and necessary expenses incurred in connection therewith.

ULYSSES TOWN DOARD REGULAR MEETING December 11, 1984 Page 8 Mr. Zimet reported that in November three new permits were issued. Milage report turned over to the Clerk. Of the three cases presently in court, one is adjourned contrary to dismissal, one should be resolved by the end of the year, and the third adjourned until January. Mr. Zimet has been in contact with the State D & V regarding junk cars. one ZBA hearing was held in November. Mr. Zimet has been asked to present to the Board a request for a Planned Development District which he did at this time. Mr. Luster read the request of Purlie Green for a Development District for the purpose of replacing his existing trailer on Waterburg Road. The request will be forwarded to Mr. Reynolds, Chairman of the Planning Board. Mr. Vorp took this opportunity to praise David Zimet, Zoning Officer, for the fine job he has done this past year. Mr. Luster seconded this statement wholeheartedly. He stated that he had come into a situation that required an awful lot of effort and he's done a good job. Due to the absence of Lou Cartee, Building Inspector, Mr. Luster read his report. Copy attached. Mrs. Duddleston pointed out we had not yet set an hourly wage for Mr. Cartee. Mr. Luster is aware of this and plans meeting with Mr. Car tee. Mr. Meeker, Highway Superintendent reported for November. Copy attached. New zoning signs have been installed on all Town and State roads. State allows his crew to install new signs, but the County does not, so the County will install the signs at their leisure on their roads. Mr. Meeker reviewed a letter he had received in September 1984, from the Glenwood Pines owner and the Maplewood Association in regard to the intersection at Glenwood Pines Restaurant and Maplewood Road. Mr. Meeker has met with the owner of Glenwood Pines and the President of the Maplewood Association and has come up with a solution of marking out a section and putting up No Parking signs. The State Dept... of Transportation has contacted Mr. Meeker and said this was alright with them but they would like to have the Town Board pass a resolution stating that there was to be no parking between the white lines and Route 89 where the no parking signs are located. Mr. Vorp moved, seconded by Mr. Weatherby the adoption of the following resolution: RESOLVED: that the Town Board of the Town of Ulysses, per sketch from NYS Department of Commerce request there be no parking between the white lines and Route 89 and signs be installed so stating, BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED: that the resolution be forwarded on to NYS Department of Transportation along with a copy of the sketch. Adopted: Mr. Vorp Aye Mrs. Duddleston Aye • Mr. Weatherby Aye Mr. Luster Aye Mr. Reitz commented that he and Mr. Meeker have been discussing another problem in Jacksonville, regarding the intersection of 96 and Colegrove Road, and the passing zone. To move traffic better, this area before Colegrove intersection and beyond on 96 was made a passing zone. We have had a serious accident at this intersection. Mr. Reitz would like to ask the Board to ask the State to reconsider this and make it a no passing zone again and possibly put up an information sign indicating there is a road with heavy equipment moving in and out of there. Mr. Meeker stated he has contacted NYS Department of Transportation and they will get together and look over the situation. Mr. Meeker said that the procedure is; he will have to get the County to submit a form that the Town pass a resolution, and then it goes to the State. in other words, a recommendation from the Town for this to be done. ULYSSES TOWN BOARD REGULAR MEETING. December 11, 1984 , Page 9 Mr. Luster asked if Mr. Meeker had to deal with the County first. Mr. Meeker stated he had to. Mr. Luster said the Board would wait for his report before appropriate action. Mr. Luster reported he is in receipt of a letter from the Tompkins County Arts Council announcing that the Conservatory of Fine Arts and the Ulysses Library have received awards. Mr. Luster announced that the Public Hearing that had been scheduled for tonight at 7:30 for the Parker Development has been rescheduled for December 20, 1984 at 7:30 PM. Also a Special Town Board Meeting is scheduled for this evening. The meeting was adjourned until Saturday, December 29, 1984 at 9:30 AM per motion by Mr. Vorp, seconded by Mr. Weatherby.

Most billing questions are solved over the phone. There are some written •complaint, however, about such things as missed installations or service calls, billing confusion or programming preference. In the total system this year, we had 7386 service calls. This is a slight 1 increase over last year's 7205 count. We estimate that the increase reflects the increasing age of our channel selectors during fiscal year 1984, and the fact that we have inspected, regrounded and or done replacement drop work in about one-half of the system. This year about 40% of our service calls were related to channel selector problems. We answered about 235 written billing complaints, but we received no written programming complaints until after the close of fiscal year.

NEW YORK 14830 ELIZABETH J. BIXLER L. RICHARD STUMBAR TO: Members of the Town Board, Town of Ulysses FROM: Elizabeth J. Bixler, Town Attorney RE: New Veterans' Tax Exemption Law (attached) DATE: December 7, 1984 TELEPHONE 973.6300 AREA CODE 607 Since the Public Hearing held on December 4, 1984, it has come to my attention that one section of the new law does not become effective until December 31, 1984. That section is the one which enables the Town to lower the maximum limits for the exemption. This possibility was described in my handout on December 4, 1984 as "Choice #2" and "Choice #3". It is also embodied in the proposed Local Law No. 3 and Local Law No. 4. Because the section which authorizes a Town to lower the limit is not effective until December 31, 1984, the Town is without power to pass such a law until 1985 or later. Therefore, if one of the: limited exemptions is what the Town wishes to go into effect, the most you can do on December 11, 1984 is pass a resolution. A Local Law can then be adopted in January 1985. If the Town wants to opt out of the new Veterans' exemption altogether, then the Board should pass proposed Local Law No.5. To confuse the issue as fully as possible, I have attached a copy of the law for your perusal.

PY4 gIC if on- A TOWN OP ULYSSES PUBLIC HEARING December 20, 1984 Parker Development Present: Martin Luster, Robert Herrick, Carolyn Duddleston, James Vorp, Robert Weatherby, Marsha Georgia and others, (see attached list). The meeting was called to order by Martin Luster, Supervisor, at 7:30 PM. The Legal Notice was read by Marsha Georgia, Town Clerk. Mr. Luster noted that the application is for the development of two, eight parcel sections for residential development on Perry City Road, east of intersection of Perry City Road and Jacksonville Road. A map is available if anyone wants to look at it. Mr. Luster asked if anyone wished to speak in favor of the application and perhaps describe what the application is all about. Mr. Parker stated this is about eighteen acres of woodlot - would • be developed into sixteen lots. Each lot would be an acre. Strictly residential. Approximate cost of each home 585,000. to $125,000. All legal papers regarding environmental impact have been done. County Health Department has approved. Mr. Luster asked for other comments or questions. David Zimet commented that the Health Department said no problems, although they need final application. Tom Reitz asked if there would be individual wells for each home or one water supply? The answer was individual wells. Mr. Herrick asked about septic systems. Mr. Parker replied that most of the lots would take a regular system and about four of the lots would have a built up system. I Mr. Herrick asked about construction - having a contractor? Each owner will have their own plan, need to sell the lots first. Ton Reitz asked whether the road will eventually be a Town road? Mr. Luster replied that the proposal is that the road will meet the requirements of the State and Town Highway Departments and that it will be dedicated to the Town and accepted by the Town. The Planning Board recommended that the road (there are two roads involved) --and that the respective road not be accepted for dedication until at least four of the eight homes in each particular segment have been completed. Mr. Reitz indicated that Mr. Parker has another Planned Development District for another piece of property and asked if there would be any connection between the two. Mr. Parker along with Mr. Zimet explained the other Planned Development is for a mobile home used by Mr. Parker's mother for her lifetime -- there is no connection. Mr. Weatherby questioned_..if Mr. Parker would be developing in the order he submitted? Mr. Parker answered, Yes he would. From the conversation he had with Gas and Electric, all will be underground • services and they won't even do the second part until the first is done. The ones toward the east will be done first. Mr. Luster stated that the Planning Board has recommended approval of this sub -division with certain qualifications. Refer to minutes of the Planning Board. it was asked how much of the woods would be removed. Mr. Parker answered that once you sell the lots you can't restrict the owner. Mr. Luster stated that the Health Department has submitted to the Town (actually to Mr. Parker's engineers-T.G. Miller Assoc.) a report on sewage disposal systems. Mr. Luster read the report and indicated it is on file in the Clerk's Office. Also at the request of the Health Department an Environmental Management Review was done. TOWN OF ULYSSES PUBLIC HEARING December 20, 1984 Parker Development Page 2 There were few areas that would effect environmental impact and all were considered small to moderate (report in Parker file). It was asked if there was any way to tell how it would effect the existing wells once sixteen (16) new wells are drilled across the road. Again, Mr. Luster stated that a Building Permit could not be issued by the Town until the Health Department has made its final approval. No one from the Health Department has indicated that there would be any adverse affect regarding surrounding water supplies. Mr. Zimet responded that they were waiting for the first well to be drilled, before they can make a final determination. Mr. Loveless, residing directly across from the proposed site, ® stated he was concerned because of the large concentration of people this would create. The land surrounding him is mainly agriculture. Mr. Loveless is very concerned regarding the water, also recently he had to replace his septic system and he was required to install a sand filter, so it's hard to believe it wouldn't be required in this subdivision. He also feels it would be an environmental impact on the stream, with sixteen more septic systems. Mr. Luster wants to make it clear that the Town Board's authority in a case of this sort is extremely limited. The Town of Ulysses does not have subdivision regulations, and their control of this type of development is limited to whether or not they will accept the dedication of the roads, and that's necessary for the development, because otherwise the developer does not conform to frontage require- ments in the Zoning ordinance. So what is really being done is trying to regulate a subdivision through the back door, this is the only available method at this time, and that is using a planned development as a pretence of accepting the dedication of the road. The Town does not have the authority, under the Zoning law to regulate any. Mr. Loveless said it was a concern that this may develop into more than sixteen lots. Mr. Luster replied that this plan is only for the sixteen, if any more were to be added it would have to be under another plan, and perhaps by that time the Town would have sub- division regulations in place. Jean Ward asked who has the final say. Mr. Luster responded that the Town Board does, but keep in mind if the Health Department says there is a problem, such as a negative impact on neighboring wells, a building permit could not be issued and construction stops at that point. Jean Ward also asked if it would be a possibility of people putting a trailer on their lot while they are building? Mr. Luster stated ® that under Zoning regulations, you are allowed a trailer during construction with a one year limitation. • Mr. Herrick feels it would be useful to take the concerns of the residents to the Board of Health and possibly they could satisfy the concerns of the neighboring residents. Jean Ward stated that their main concern is the water. The Board of Health O.K. is no quarantee. They could say go ahead and then after the sixteen wells are drilled and a problem came up, it would be a little late. Another impression the residents have is that they didn't think the Town or County Highway would accept a turn around road. Mr. Luster commented that there is no prohibition in Town law against that, and the normal way a road is accepted for dedication is on condition that it complies with Town, County and State requirements in regard to construction and design. If it turns out that the road TOWN OF ULYSSES PUBLIC HEARING December 20, 1984 Parker Development Page 3 is not acceptable, then the Town simply would not accept it, and would notify Mr. Parker as soon as that determination is made, and this would put an end to the development. Mr. Reitz asked if the Highway Superintendent Meeker had been consulted on the road. Mr. Luster responded that he had been and that the road needs to meet with specifications. Mr. Reitz commented that looking over the overall growth of the Town, this development would add to our tax base. Also, the residents in this area are concerned with the water problem. Mr. Reitz is cer- tainly in favor of this type of project. ® Mr. Luster, hearing no further comments, closed the Public Hearing at 8:00 PM. I C • I SPECIAL BOARD MEETING Mr. Luster opened the Special Board Meeting and commented that it seems that one of the main concerns of the Parker developement is in regard to the water supplies of neighboring properties. He mentioned that action could be tabled until further information could be received from the Health Department and perhaps get an opinion from them in writing as to the possible affect on local water supplies. The Planning..Board did.make.=a positive recommenda- tion. James Vorp moved, seconded by Robert Herrick to table this issue at this time. Mr. Vorp said that he understands the reservations and concerns the residents have and that perhaps they should hire their own engineer to investigate the situation. This may not be the answer but they do have legitimate concerns. Mr. Herrick commented that he feels that it would be useful for the residents to get their questions resolved before the Board makes a decision. There are other developments in the community, nice devel- opments and there are no problems. The concerns are real, however, we have to let others come into the community. It is a residential community and if we are a residential community, we must be a growing community. Development is a fact of life in a community. Mr. Vorp spoke in favor of the Parker. Development. He feels we should look for more people to expand. Mr. Luster agrees, housing is one industry this community is well suited for. We should he more accommodating. Mr. Luster does suggest however, that the Board pursue the Planning Board of the Town of Ulysses and set up subdivision regulations. There are increasing requests for subdivisions and we shouldn't be afraid to regulate. Mr. Vorp suggested that possibly by the adjourned meeting of the Town of Ulysses Board on December 29th, 1984, at 9:30am they may have some answers and could act on this matter at that time. Voted and unanimously carried. Adopted Mr. Herrick aye Mr. Vorp aye Mrs. Duddleston aye Mr. Weatherby aye Mr. Luster aye Hearing no further business Mr. Herrick motined for the adjournment of the Special Meeting. All in favor. Adjourned 8:12 PM. Marsha L. Georgia Town Clerk TOWN OF ULYSSES f'J' ADJOURNED BOARD MEETING December 29, 1984 Present: Martin Luster, Supervisor, Counciloeople, James Vorn, Robert Herrick, Carolyn Duddleston, Robert Weatherby, Marsha Georgia, Town Clerk. Others Present: Catherine Stover, Tom Reitz, Geri Speich, Richard Owlett. Mr. Luster called the meeting to order at 9:35 A.M. Mr. Luster announced that in the 1984 Budget there was $25,000. Revenue Sharing Funds appropriated to highway equipment, the highway portion of the 1984 Budget reflected as revenue only $10,000., this was discovered several months ago and James Meeker, Highway Superin- tendent was notified and suggested he make a request for an additional $15,000. Mr. Meeker had no need for this additional monies, so there- fore, Mr. Luster suggested that we now set up a highway reserve account for 1984, appropriate that $15,000. into it, and that means as of today we will have $15,000. in the reserve account and as of January 1st we will have $25,000. Mr. Luster moved, seconded by Mr. Vorp the adoption of the following resolution: RESOLVED: that the Town Board of the Town of Ulysses establish for 1984 a Highway Equipment Reserve Account in accordance with the General Municipal Law, and that we appropriate the sum of $15,000 to be funded from the 1984 Revenue Sharing Funds.

We have not received any application from Mr. Parker for a subdivision. We have done a preliminary site survey for only B lots, and our results were sent to the town in a letter dated April 16, 1984. If the town is concerned that the project will have a significant impact, the town ought to require a Draft Environmental Impact Statement in accordance with the State Environmental Quality Review (SEQR) Act. For our part, we have not decided yet whether to require test'wells; we don't know what type of sewage system will be proposed; and we weren't aware of any stream going through the proposed 8 lots. The following answers to your questions are my opinion only: 1. We cannot determine the impact of 16 (or 8) new wells. Eight new homes could require only 2,400 gallons per day; and most of that will be returned to the groundwater. We could only stop development if the development doesn t proceed as approved; dry wells could cause that. We will require that the developer provide some evidence that the groundwater is adequate in quality and quantity for his proposal. 2. See our April letter. 3. The only time runoff would be a concern would be during construction. Since the stream is some distance from the lots, and development is only 1 home per acre, this is not much of a concern. It is my understanding this project is in an agricultural district. If the town must change its zoning to allow this development, then the project becomes a Type I project and a lead agency for environmental significance must be desig- neted. I would have liked to discuss this with you or Supervisor Luster, but I couldn't reach either of you. Very truly yours, £k& iP' aSOk Jot M. Andersson, P. E.

Luster also spoke with Mr. Anderson from the Health Department and he suggested that we talk directly with someone from P.G. Miller Associates. The board could also remand the Planning Board to look into this development further and give another report. Mr. Luster entertained a motion, seconded by Mr. Vorp the adoption of the following resolution: RESOLVED: that the Town Board remand the proposal for a Development District submitted by Richard Parker, back to the Planning Board with direction to concen- trate on the questions raised at the Public Hearing, and to give a report based upon further discussion with the Board of Health and the developers engineers.

It was suggested that Richard Durling be asked if he would be interested in this position. Another vacancy needed to be filled is the Election Custodian of Machines.

The Fire Inspectors duties would be annual inspection of places of public assembly in the Town plus other inspections upon request or complaint only.
