The minutes of. the Board Meeting of December 11, 1984, Public Hearing of December 20, 1984, and the Adjourned Board Meeting of December 29, .. 1984 were distributed. Mr. Herrick moved, seconded by Mrs. Duddleston • to approve the minutes. Voted and unanimously approved. . .. Rep. . James Mason reported that the County Board met that morning and unanimously passed County Local Law #1 for 1985; the law established a limited grant program for water supplies to encourage and assist • towns to initiate a public water feasibility study. The law provides . for up to $15 , 000. to be matched 50/50 by the municipalities. This • would allow a possible $30,000. worth of studies being done in any given year. Also a note regarding Tom-Tran--it starts the middle of ' next week. On Monday, January 14th there will be a ribbon cutting . ceremony at noon. The buses that started last week running from . Watkins Glen down Route 79 and through Enfield are very successful. These buses are running at full capacity. At this mornings organizational meeting Harrison Dates. was reappointed • Chairman for his ninth year. Mr. James Mason was reappointed as Chairman of the Public Safety and Corrections Committee and also has been appointed as Chairman to a new committee--Planning and Economic Development. Also, Mr. Mason is chairing the Management and Compen- sation Committee, which he has served on for seven years. Their first task will be to start a search for a new County Administrator, because . of John Murphy' s resignation. Mr. Mason stated that Mr. Murphy' s • position will be a hard one to fill, he has done an excellent job. • Mr. Luster congratulated Mr. Mason on his reappointments and new i Charimanship. Mr. Luster also thanked him for his hard work in lobbying for Local Law #1 - 1985. Susan Perkins requested a Board resolution, because several in the . community have organized an application to the Department of Social Services for a $10,000. grant to start an after school day care program in the elementary school. They have been given room that they can use, from 2:45 p.m. to 6:00 p.m. every night. The plans are • - to have this open even if there is no school. It would be supervised • t and accommodate approximately 30 children. It would be open to first • graders to thirteen year olds. This would relieve parents about Latch Key children and for parents who have difficulty finding after school care for children at home. She would like a resolution of support because the grant application will be reviewed in Albany on the 16th of January. She replied that I it is somewhat optimistic that they would receive any grant money. They have budgeted the program so that it is possible to do it on their own, without public funding. Mr. Luster asked Susan what the connection was with the County EOC in • this program. Susan replied that they supervise the application and also they are the sponsoring agency for the application. Mr. Luster said he had reviewed the application and as he sees it, this funding would be set-up, the rest would be a pay as you go program and then the program would be self sufficient once going. r- '• 1... .e ;!'}.• t. r.'...•y.. .., Of' .:.1.. ... lL.. :Y-Fi a'• i:yi$...j•eD .: .... r..'; ..O;Y:"'�%'.Cl P..'. :?w•',S!!.:, + 1 ULYSSES TOWN BOARD f REGULAR MEETING January 8, 1985 t Page 2 •• "` Mr. Luster commented that the after school care of young children r. is becoming an increasing concern as most households are two job households and kids are coming home at an early age and being on their own. This would provide some supervision for kids 1st - 8th grades. r. wt Mr. Herrick asked if the parents would be responsible to pick these .. children up from the center. Mrs. Perkins replied yes. His concern was that they wouldn' t just be released to get home on their own in • the dark. Mr. Luster entertained a motion, Mrs . Duddleston moved seconded by ",` Mr. Weatherby, the adoption of the following resolution: ® RESOLVED: that the Town Board of the Town of Ulysses supports the application of the Trumansburg Area Day Care Program for the $10, 000. grant for School Age Child Care Program Start-Up Funds. • Adopted: Mr. Luster Aye Mr. Herrick Aye Mrs. Duddleston Aye • Mr. Weatherby Aye • • Mrs. Georgia will certify the above resolution for Susan. . Mr. Luster commented that he has just received a hand-out from NYS Commission on Cable TV which appears to be an announcement that starting after December 29, 1986, all local regulations over local . Cable TV rates have been Federalized. We will no longer have control over these rates and the Federal Government will be the ones passing upon the franchise rate increase applications. In fact, according .. r to the hand-out, it would be lawful for American Community Cable TV to increase rates in effect now by 5% between now and December 29 , 1986 without our consent. Mr. Luster stated that neither he, Susan Perkins (Rep. to Cable) nor Elizabeth Bixler had fully reviewed the letter (hand-out) yet. • Susan said that she had gotten indications from American Community Cable that the basic rate would be the one they would most likely . t, raise. The special higher rates, like HBO, etc. are carrying their own weight. It' s the regulated rates that have not gone up in their apportionate costs . Her interpretation is that by 1987, for basic • rates, it will be increased $3. to $4. . Richard Durling, representing the Trumansburg Fire Department, •. reported for the month of December (report attached) . . Mr. Luster reported that instituted January 1, 1985, a new back-up system that allows us to have only one checking account (which has been cleared with the State) . So, from this date on; claims will be presented in numerical order without a separate accounting for each fund. The claims will show what account. Mr. Luster moved, seconded by Mrs. Duddleston the adoption of the • following resolution: RESOLVED: that the previously examined vouchers, 1-13 in the ® amount of $6,841. 55 are approved for payment. • Adopted: Mr. Luster Aye I Mr. Herrick Aye Mrs. Duddleston Aye Mr. Weatherby Aye The Supervisor' s Financial Report is not available. It will be ' available tomorrow morning and distributed to the Board with addition- al copies for anyone interested. • • Mr. Luster announced the appointment of Tom Reitz on December 29th to the Ulysses Planning Board. He is taking the place of Robert Weatherby newly appointed Councilman. Also, the appointment of Richard Durling ULYSSES TOWN BOARD REGULAR MEETING January 8, 1985 4: Page 3 to the Zoning Board of Appeals. Mr. Luster feels the time is right to act on the Jacksonville Water Problem. He feels it would be appropriate for the Board to appoint a Citizens Advisory Committee to assist the Board in this type of thing. It' s an important element to see that there is wide-spread public support. For a practical matter, we will need the assistance of people outside the Board to help do some of the leg work, informa- tion gathering, and working with the engineer. • Mr. Luster introduced a resolution, seconded by Mr. Herrick, the • adoption of the following: RESOLVED: that the Town Board of the Town of Ulysses establish ® a Citizens Advisory Committee for the Jacksonville Water District, BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED: that the Town Board authorize Martin • Luster, Supervisor, to appoint a Chairman for this Committee, BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED: that the appointed Chairman appoint the remaining Committee. • Mr. Luster commented that he had spoken with Jacksonville resident John Moynes about Chairing this committee and Mr. Moynes would like more information before committing himself to this. Mrs. Duddleston asked if this committee could be limited to only • Jacksonville residents? Mr. Luster replied it didn' t have to be but should be primarily Jack- sonville residents, but most certainly. It may turn out that we' ll be trying to work with the Village of Trumansburg and might not be a bad idea to have a village resident on the committee as well. Adopted: Mr. Luster Aye Mr. Herrick Aye Mrs. Duddleston Aye Mr. Weatherby Aye L. Budgeted for 1985 is $2, 500. for planning. Mr. Luster asked to be • authorized when we have whatever facts are required by the County, to apply for funding for a preliminary study on water. Under the County' s new law, they will match 50% for this study. Mr. Mason • said that there are a set of criteria to be followed that can be • picked up at Prank Liquori' s office. Mr. Luster introduced, seconded by Mr. Herrick the adoption of the following resolution: RESOLVED: that the Supervisor be authorized to apply to Tompkins • County for funding of preliminary studies pursuant to • • County Local Law #1 1985. Adopted: Mr. Luster Aye Mr. Herrick Aye Mrs. Duddleston Aye Mr. Weatherby Aye A discussion took place regarding whether to bid or not to bid for an engineering firm to do the preliminary feasibility study for Jacksonville water. Legally it doesn' t have to be bid because it S is a professional service. We interviewed a firm earlier this year (Laberge) . It has been suggested to contact some of the representive clients to find out if they were satisfied. Bidding would he very difficult, because of the specifications, and the fact that we are dealing with an unknown quantity. Mr. Luster • entertained a motion, moved by Mrs . Duddleston, seconded by Mr . Herrick the adoption of the following resolution: RESOLVED: that the Town Board of the Town of Ulysses authorize Martin Luster, Supervisor, to contact five ( 5) municipalities who have dealt with the firm of Ronald H. Laberge, P.C. Consulting Civil Engineers and Municipal Planners. • �. . ULYSSES TOWN BOARD REGULAR MEETING January 8, 1905 Page 4 • • FURTHER RESOLVED: that if there is any negative comments regarding this firm (Laberge) Supervisor Luster will report back to the Town Board, FURTHER RESOLVED: upon hearing no negative comment, Supervisor • Luster is authorized to proceed, retaining the firm • of Laberge, with any contracts subject to attorneys review. Adopted: Mr. Luster Aye Mr. Herrick Aye Mrs. Duddleston Aye • Mr. Weatherby Aye Mr. Luster is in receipt of a letter from John Anderson, Tompkins <' ® County Health Department to Barbara McKeith, regarding the Natural Lean Pork Co. ( copy attached) . The letter is also attached with a petition signed by 87 signatures of residents concerned about Natural Lean Pork operations ( attached) , 65% of the signatures are residents of the Town of Enfield, the remaining Ulysses residents. Mr. Luster felt he should bring this matter to the attention of the Board. His understanding is that the animals are out, but the waste that was generated during their operation is still there in the lagoon. They have been asked by John Anderson, of the Health Depart- ment to drain these lagoons. It is believed that animals will be moved back in and a different set-up for waste material. As a matter of information, Mr. Luster replied, that the Town would have standing • to commence a law suit against Natural Lean Pork, to adjourn any operations as a public nuisance. • Mr. Mason feels it is a very difficult situation, because any time you are dealing with an agricultural enterprise, this type of situa- tion can arise. He suggested notifying Jim Rice, who sits on the • Board of Health, to be advised of the situation. Mr. Herrick feels at this time we should only monitor the problem. Mr. Luster will stay on top of the situation and report back around September. Mr. Luster reported that at the adjourned December 29, 1984 meeting, a resolution was passed to turn the Parker Development request back over to the Planning Board. Due to several questions arising out of the Public Hearing and further correspondence from the Health Depart- ment, the Board felt the Planning Board should develop these questions, ask Mr. Parker to produce his engineer, and/or professionals he has employed and try to get some answers to the questions raised at the Public Hearing; primarily regarding the effect on neighboring water supplies, the effect on drainage patterns, and the effect on quality septic systems. The Planning Board meets January 16th. Item D under Old Business on the Agenda - Building Inspector Contract - was tabled until a future date per the request of Lew Cartee, Building • Inspector. Motion made by Mr. Herrick, seconded by Mrs. Duddleston to table the resolution for the Building Inspector hourly rate. • I Mr. Luster introduced proposed Local Law #1 - 1985: BE IT ENACTED BY THE TOWN BOARD OF THE TOWN OF ULYSSES AS FOLLOWS : Section 1. Purpose. The purpose of this law is to amend Local Law No. 1 for 1979 relative to dog license fees to be charged by the Town Section 2.

Adopted: Mr. Luster Aye Mr. Herrick Abstained Mrs. Duddleston Aye Mr. Weatherby Aye Marsha Georgia, Town Clerk reported that the total December fees was • $655.04. Total fees turned over to the Supervisor, $175. , no fees for the Town of Ithaca. A copy of the Town Clerk' s Yearly Report was given to the Supervisor and Town Board members ( see copy attached) . • David Zimet, Zoning Officer reported. Covered 162 miles for the month of December. Dealt with the usual inquiries. Worked on the • Trailer Park license procedures. David summarized trailer license regulations in the past and what they should be upgraded to. ( see attached) . Neither of the parks have been in compliance with the Mobile Park Ordinance. Mr. Zimet stated some of the problems that • exist, . and possible corrections. Mr. Zimet asked for some direction from the Board. Some discussion and questions took place. . Mr. Zimet pointed out that in 1977 the Board approved expansion of the Leisure Living Park from 38-39 units to over one hundred forty units, and although in the Public Hearing it was mentioned the original section had never been up to specs, there was no interest that that particular provision (recreation facilities) be enforced. In trying to exercise the responsibilities of the Zoning Office, he would like to know exactly how the Board feels at this time, before he goes ahead. It was indicated by Mr. Herrick, that unless the residents are • demanding a recreational area, he would leave that alone. As far as unsafe pads, that should probably be enforced. Mr. Cartee, -Building Inspector reported. . : (See attached copy) . Mr. Luster thanked Mr. Cartee for getting us through our first year of Uniform Code. James Meeker, Highway Superintendent reported (see attached report) . Denny O'Neil, indicated that it was brought to his attention this past week by the Finger Lakes Tourism Association who had asked him to send brochures to five major sportman shows in the Northeast. In checking around, he found that the Town didn' t have any sort of brochure and was wondering if the Town has any plans in the near future to set up a Committee for Tourism, and if so if there is any way he can help or the Chamber of Commerce. Mr. Luster indicated that the only plans are is for the Planning Board to follow up on their report last • October, to implement it. The report indicated that the single, biggest industry we have at hand is tourism. Mr. O'Neil offered his support. Iie asked if it would be OK to put up some, kind of a brochure rack in the hallway. Mr. Luster indicated that he would like to check it out with the Town Attorney first - doesn' t see any problem. Mrs. Duddleston moved, seconded by Mr. Herrick to adjourn the meeting. Unanimously carried. The meeting was adjourned at 9:17 P.M. Marsha L. Georgia • MG/pm .

The reason I am doing this is so that all agencies involved will be aware of the concerns of the neighborhood, and each can take what steps they can to protect the public interest. You are already aware of the work the Tompkins County Health Department has been doing. I have not heard from Natural Lean Pork in the past several weeks so I do not know what their current plans are. I trust they will continue to honor their promises of having this department accept their waste handling proposal prior to moving animals onto the site. Our acceptance of these proposals, however, will not be a guarantee that odors won't be generated. ,1 • Very truly yours, Jo M. Andersson, P. E.

TOWN OF ULYSSES 9 SPECIAL MEETING ' January 24, 1985 The meeting was called to order at 7:40 PM. • Present: Martin Luster, Carolyn Duddleston, Doug Duddleston, Bob . Hunt, Thomas Reitz, James Mason, James Vorp, Robert Weatherby. • Mr. Luster introduced Mr. Hunt from Hunt Engineers. Hunt Engineers , has been recommended by the Mayor of Dryden who has been using the Firm. Mr. Luster stated the problem in Jacksonville. A survey was done last year, with about 135 survies being distributed. Approximately • ® 65 were returned with the public support in favor. What we need is an overall package. Want to get and keep the community involved. Planning to establish a Citizens Committee to help. Would like an idea of feasibility study, funding application, etc. as far as packaging. Mr. Hunt indicated a couple of things that need to be accomplished; first being that a water district needs to be established. Certain rules and regulations to follow to set this up. Mr. Hunt distributed a hand-out describing what needs to be done and indicated the steps to take. If it is feasible to purchase water from Trumansburg or • Ithaca, this would be better; rather than trying to establish your • own source. Boundaries must be set up. The main criteria is economics. HUD and Farmers Home are the two funding agencies . At the present time no other monies are available. You may need to tailor your district to meet HUD guidelines--may rule people out because it would put you over your low/moderate income level . An engineering report would also be needed and would go with the I mapping. Also some legal requirements: the Board would have to pass resolutions, have Public Hearings, etc. After the water district is set up, then you enter into constructing the project and finding the dollars to do it. HUD is preferable because it is grant money; FHA is usually loan money. Also have the option of bonding it yourself. As far as cost - Hunt Engineers cost to look at the project, get an analysis of the situation, do the mapping and report, etc. - approximately $1, 200 to $1, 500 - this would include getting the district set up. As far as providing assistance in preparing a grant - the cost would be $750.00. . To start - take a nucleus of homes where you know you have a problem ' and use that as the base - it can either grow or shrink. • Mr. Luster showed Mr. Hunt the survey that had been done. He asked that if it was decided to retain the Hunt Firm to do the preliminary work what would be done then? Mr. Hunt replied that it would be a letter-type contract and would spell out exactly what the Firm ® would be doing and what the Town would be doing. Then the mapping and data would be done to set up the district; hold Public Hearings, etc. 1 Jim Vorp mentioned that the Village should be approached and will speak to Carl Mann, Village Mayor, just to deal in general terms and get some information. Tom Reitz asked if there were any upper limit grants on loans that could he borrowed from either HUD or Farmers Home. Mr. Hunt said it varies whether it is a multi-purpose or single-purpose application. Mr. Reitz asked what the estimate is now per foot to lay waterpipe? Mr. Hunt said about $30.00 per foot. Hydrants and valves would be added on. Further discussion took place. TOWN OP ULYSSES { SPECIAL MEETING January 24, 1985 Il< Mr. Hunt mentioned that they are a Firm of twenty-four employees, primarily in the civil technologies area. Recommendations were supplied. The meeting was adjourned at 8: 30 PM. A Special Board Meeting will be advertised to be held at 7:30 PM on February 5, 1985 to discuss the Water District. d Marsha L. Georgia •• Town Clerk MG/pm • '7 1$ ri, TOWN OF ULYSSES • SPECIAL BOARD MEETING . February 5, 1985 Purpose: Discussion of Water District Study. • ~ Present: Martin Luster, Supervisor, Carolyn Duddleston, Councilperson, James Vorp, Councilman, Robert Weatherby, Councilman, Marsha Georgia, Town Clerk. Others Present: James Mason, Tompkins County Representative, Tom Reitz, Geri Speich, Freepress. : ® Mr. Luster called the Special Meeting to order at 7: 30 PM. The purpose of this meeting is to retain an engineer to assist us with a water project in Jacksonville. • Mr. Luster has contacted seven ( 7) municipalities who have dealt with Hunt Engineers. The following were contacted: • Bath, N.Y. - Spoke to Mr. Wrinkle, he stated that Hunt had done a number of jobs for them and they were well • satisfied with all of them. He went on to state that Hunt Engineers were responsive, quick and answered all . questions. Big Flats - Water District #3 which was an FHA funding project. • Hunt helped nut together the funding package and did all the engineering. Had no problems at all. Village of Hammondsport - Hunt Engineers did a Flouride • • Project for them. They found them to be dependable and they met the Boards needs. Village of Freeville - Hunt is working with them on their water district for the village. They find them extremely ' easy to work with and very accessible. Village of Dryden - Hunt worked on their sewage project. Favorable. Village of Dryden recommended Hunt Engineering. • Village of Trumansburg - Has had no problems with their prior . dealing with Hunt. • Village of Watkins Glen - Carl Conklin was absolutely ecstatic about their dealing with Hunt. He stated they have worked with Hunt on several water projects. They also hat some emergency gas problems that they called Hunt on. Hunt had no background on this type of engineering but immediately found out what they had to do and did it. Mr. Luster replied that the Board now has seven affirmative responses. Based on that he would like a resolution authorizing him to request a contract from Hunt Engineering. . Mr. Vorp moved, seconded by Mrs. Duddleston the following resolution: RESOLVED: that the Town Board of the Town of Ulysses authorize Martin Luster, Supervisor, to request a contract from Hunt Engineers, P.C. , Painted Post, . N.Y. . BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED: to authorize Martin Luster, Supervisor to execute such contract if it is consistent with our budget and consistent with the discussion that we had with Mr. Hunt at our last Special Meeting, January 24, 1985. Discussion followed. Mr. Vorp has talked to Carl Mann, Mayor of the Village of Trumansburg, in regard to Mr. Hunt. Mr. Mann had commented that in addition to the fact that he was very knowledgeable, he was very honest and open and very easy to communicate with. Mr. Reitz asked if in talking to these other municipalities did they indicate anything about HUD Grants? ( li .a- Y A j ` •.',u ...•.. T 4. V.' d.�.t• ',••' !t �;'.. o,• :•YI.. TOWN OF ULYSSES SPECIAL BOARD MEETING February 5 , 1905 Page 2 Mr. Luster replied that most of the others he had not handled funding for, although Hunt had done the FHA application in Big Flats. • Mr. Luster called for the vote: Mr. Luster Aye Mrs. Duddleston Aye Mr. Vorp Aye Mr. Weatherby Aye Adopted. • Mr. Luster has looked into the procedure for a Water District. There seems to be two basic ways of going about this. One is a petition, which is not subject to a referendum because the people • have spoken by presenting a petition. The other way is by Town Board action subject to a permissive referendum. Beyond that the • procedures are pretty much the same. Mr. Luster has. not studied this in detail. Those procedures call for a series of Public Hear- ings, each one progressively in more detail with maps being drawn out at an early stage with revisions being made as you go along with the Public Hearing route. The funding of any balance beyond any grant • that we may get ( this is Mr. Luster' s understanding at this time) would be done by floating a bond. The cost of that bond is paid for by the Town as a whole as opposed to a special assessment which is another way financing public improvement - which is taxing the people within the district directly to pay for the improvement. But if the Town bonds, that is borrow based on the credit of the Town, then it becomes a Town charge. Mr. Luster has asked our attorney to look into the funding and report • to us on what the options are. Hunt Engineers can help with this also. • The first step is to draw tentative boundaries, simultaneously with ® doing the economic studies for HUD or Farmers Home. Establishing by resolution a district, calling a public hearing, discussing it. Mr. Luster feels it does not make sense to rush into calling a • public hearing until we have some of the answers that people will want. At this time, the Board will work with Mr. Hunt, and follow his lead, • seeing that he has done this before. Hopefully by Tuesday, February 12, 1985 at our next Regular Board Meeting, we will have more of a precise idea where we are headed. Mr. Luster stated that it is subject to a referendum and if people in Jacksonville don' t want it - it will be the end of it. Mr. Vorp feels very strongly that the Board should encourage a permissive referendum. Mr. Luster stated that the way we can encourage the equivalent to a referendum is to say we will do this if presented with a petition, the other way is we can do it and say they can petition for a referendum. ® Mr. Vorp stated he wouldn' t be comfortable with five people coming • in with a petition. ® Mr. Luster feels there will be enough interested people to get a petition to get this on the ballot. As far as cost goes, Mr. Luster commented, we talked about a small district and he can'•t. see where there would be any way of imposing the entire cost on that district and still make it run. Mr. Reitz asked if there had been any preliminary discussion with either the Village of Trumansburg or. the Town of Ithaca as to tagging on to their water system. 1':r. Luster stated that in a most preliminary way with the Village - the indication is they are open to discuss it, Mr. Vorp confirmed this, that the doors were open for discussion. As for the Town of • ;X .,� i ai'r?' li:, �. '.•.i. ' :'j ms's:.'.' TOWN OF ULYSSES • SPECIAL BOARD MEETING a' February 5 , 1985 Page 3 Ithaca, they have not been approached. Mr. Reitz asked if the earlier survey done in Jacksonville would be turned over to Hunt Engineers. • Mr. Luster said he could turn it over, but was not sure it would take the place of what needs to be done. s. Mr. Reitz reported as President of Jacksonville Community Associa- ti.on. They are trying to propose to the Association a possibility of coming up with some dollars themselves to help pay someone to help do a survey. This has not been approved as yet by their board. Mr. Luster suggested that when we get down to the series of Public Hearings, we do them in Jacksonville to assure a responsible turn- ,, out there. Mr. Vorp asked where we stand in regards to applying for the County funds on a study. Mr. Luster replied he spoke with Frank Liguori, the day after the local law was passed and he, said as soon as they have their criteria and application forms set forth in writing he would get us a copy because he knows we are interested. Another matter Mr. Luster discussed with the board is in regard to Lew Cartee, Building Inspector. At the last Board Meeting there was an indication from Lew that he was unhappy with the proposed contractual arrangement for his services for 1985. Mr. Luster says he has now since sat down with Lew and indeed he is unhappy, not with the Town of Ulysses, but with the Town of Ithaca. As it stands, we turn over our Building Permit fees to the Town of Ithaca to off-set any additional cost that might be imposed on them for our using their building inspector. It was Mr. - Luster' s impression that Lew was getting paid something in addition to his regular salary from our building fees. Apparently he has not • been. The Town started talking about paying him an hourly rate for the hours beyond the 8 hours a week spent in the Town of Ulysses . Lew feels he should be paid for the time he spends here below eight hours. Mr. Luster told him that if the Town of Ulysses can keep the building permit fees, that would fund a salary for him and he could get paid directly, but we would have to know that it is OK • with the Town of Ithaca, just as a matter of courtesy even if not as a matter of law. Lew has not mentioned this to the Supervisor of the Town of Ithaca, but suggested Mr. Luster speak to Noel Desch, Town of Ithaca Supervisor in regards to this matter. Mr. Luster dooa prefer to continue turning nver the building permit fees 1-n the Town of Ithaca and they pay Lew. This would help Lew by adding - to his level of pay for retirement purposes. Mr. Luster will contact Noel Desch, Supervisor to the Town of Ithaca in regards to this matter. Hearing no further business , Mr. Luster asked for a motion for ad- • • journment. Mrs. Duddleston moved, seconded by Mr. Weatherby for the meeting to adjourn. Hearing no objections the meeting was adjourned. Marsha L. Georgia Town Clerk MLG/pm • • +..•'ri••. .1� 4u. ':�•.

Also presents Zoning Officer l •• David Zimet, Richard Berggren, Paul Tavelli, attorney for Mr. Berggren, Thomas Reitz, Dennis O'Neil, W. H. Houseworth, Jr. , E. J. Crippen. 1. , Mr. Stillions opened hearing by asking for roll call of BZA members. He then asked Mr. Zimet to state reasons for the valiance request. • Mr. Zimet said he had taken the unusual step of the Zoning Officer asking for the variance in an effort to resolve the matter of the violation of the zoning Ordinance which has been in effect since June of 1984 when Mr. Zimet filed an order to remedy the violation with the owner. The case is now residing in the Town court. . The case involved a gas station located at the intersection of Route 96 and the Jacksonville Road. The station had been a non-conforming use since the establish- ment of zoning regulations in the Town in 1961, the gasoline pumps are now located • less than 50 feet from the highway right-of-way (the Route 96 roadway has been . widened since 1961) and within 200 feet of a residence district. The station itself is located within the Jacksonville business district. The station had been ' closed for over one year. r • Mr. Stillions asked for comments by others at the hearing. Steve Baker is operating the station, renting the .property from Mr. Berggren. He said in the interest of safety and welfare of the town residents the gasoline purchased and pumped into _ V O the underground storage tanks is being checked by that amount sold in a effort to check for any underground leakage of gasoline into the soil. As yet there has been no leaking outside of the limits established by the Department of Environmental Conservation. He said this department makes periodic examinations. Mr. O'Neill who has a business in Jacksonville and lives there, said he was not . sure the station was closed down for a year since Mr. Wright, owner of the station • at that time rented it to Tony Lupo for a while. He said Mr. Baker was doing a good job of running the station and said the service was needed by the Town residents. • Concern was expressed relative to the 1000 gallong kerosine tank which has been . placed on the property facing the Jacksonville Road. This tank is above ground and is placed on a wooden frame. Concern was also brought up about a mon-hole cover in .. .. • the parking lot which tends to pop open. Mr. Reitz also spoke in favor of. the service station. Mr Baker said he intends to contine keeping track of the amount of gasoline purchased . . .: in relation to that sold. He also said he would like the purchase the property on which his business is located. • The Board then retired for a brief executive session and, returning to the hearing ' • asked the secretary to read the following resolution: WHEREASs David Zimet, Town Zoning Officer, has asked for an area variance under I Article II, section 6, of the Town Zoning Ordinance for a service station property owned by Richard Berggren of Ithaca, said service station property located at 1854 Trumansburg Road at the intersection with the Jacksonville Road in Jacksonville, New York, and . WHEREAS: the property, while located in a business district, the sale of gasoline . within 200 feet of a residence district is not permitted by the Town • .

Present at Hearing: BZA members Merle Stillions, chairman, Adrienne VanDyk, ® Richard Burling, William Weitzel, A. Beers, secretary; absent: Joseph Farrell. Also presentt Bruce Turnbull, Bruce Berkeley, John Ward, Donna Ward, Don Vandermark, David Zimet, Town Zoning Officer. 1. Mr. Stillions called hearing to her by asking for roll call of BZA members. He then asked Mr. Turnbull to restate his reasons for the variance. Mr. Turnbull said ; . he wished to demolish the present living structure on his property near the • shoreline and build a new cottage to be located higher on the cliff between the • Maplewood roadway and the driveway, which, according to the map presented, seoms to service the adjoining Vandermark and Ward properties. Mr. Turnbull said he wished to build a boat house on the site of the cottage to be demolished. He said the proposed boat house would be approximately 10 x 18 feet. Mr. Ward spoke relative to the variance request and said he would rather not have any structure replacing the house to be torn down because of the building congestion on the lake shore. Both Mr. Vandem ark and Mrs. Ward spoke of adequate parking available for the new cottage. Mr. Turnbull said the new cottage would have space • for a two-car garage under the house. Mr. Berkeley said the demolition of the old cottage would take place in the spring ® of 1985 and Mr. Turnbull said construction of the new cottage probably would not s. start for six to 10 months. The Board retired for an•executive session. Returning to the hearing Mr. Stillions - asked the secretary to read the resolution drafted: WHEREAS: Bruce and Martha Turnbull have asked for an area variance for their property at 19 Maplewood Road under Articles V and II of the Town of Ulysses Zoning Ordinance and . WHEREAS: since the cottage to be demolished will be replaced by a boat house as an accessory building and under the regulations of the County Health Department sewer and water services once disconnected on lake front • sites cannot be re-instated or new service created for another . . dwelling on this particular site, • • THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED: that the application fr an area variance be approved with the following stipulation: that the lake front accessory building be used only for storage and is never to be larger than • the 10x18 feet or have an area larger than 180 square feet. • Mrs. VanDyk moved adoption of the resolution, Mr. Stillions seconded the motion. Voting as follows: Mr. Stillions approve -- III Mrs. VanDyk approve Mr. Durling approve Mr. Weitzel approve Resolution adopted.

OLD BUSINESS : Tom Reitz, Chairman Sub-division Regulation Committee reported that he decided to check past history and get other Tompkins County Town' s - regulations. He has already received the Town of Groton and Town of O Ithaca' s regulations and also came across a copy of model sub- divisions put out by New York State. He had also found a resolution of 1973 which gave the Planning Board power to pass preliminary and final plats for sub-divisions. He had asked Mr. Luster to look I into this and Mr. Luster has come up with a memorandum of understanding. At this point he hopes to out together a model sub-division regulation that they can review at the next Planning Board Meeting on March 6th. Mr. Luster stated he had a number of things to report concerning the Jacksonville Water District. The Board held Special Meetings on January 24 and February 5 to deal with water supply for Jacksonville. As a result of those meetings, Mr. Luster was authorized to execute a contract with Hunt Engineers of Painted Post, New York.

TOWN OF ULYSSES 9°f'''' t REGULAR BOARD MEETING February 12, 1985 Page 4 4,:::,: As a little further background, Mr. Luster stated that before the Board had authorized him to obtain this contract he contacted \: seven ( 7) municipalities that had dealt with Hunt Engineers. He did so and received seven very positive responses. He feels com- fortable in dealing with this firm. Mr. Luster asked to entertain ^: a resolution authorizing him to sign the contract dated February 12 , 1985. , ..1 Mr. Vorp moved, seconded by Robert Weatherby the adoption of the following resolution: RESOLVED: that Martin Luster , Supervisor of the Town of Ulysses be authorized to sign a contract with Hunt Engineers, Painted Post, New York, dated February 12, 1985. -74 Adopted: Mr. Luster 1 Aye Mr. Vorp Aye Mr. Herrick Aye TT Mr. Weatherby Aye Mr. Luster mentioned at the last meeting the formation of a citizen advisory committee that is still in the early stages of formation. However, we do have a task for them at this point and it ties in • with the next item: Application for County Funding. Mr. Luster has received from the County Department of Planning, documents , . which tell us how to apply for the limited grant authorized by L . the County Local Law #1 for 1985. Among the items they request in support of the application is a supporting petition showing signatures of at least 25 owners of taxable property in the study area or 5% of the owners of. taxable property, whichever is less. When talking about 100-135 homes, this isn' t much of a task. Mr. Luster has drafted a petition as follows: • I • PETITION • TO: TOMPKINS COUNTY DEPARTMENT OF PLANNING: WHEREAS , the Tompkins County Department of Health has advised ' that a 'number of wells in the Jacksonville area have been infiltrated . by bacteria, gasoline and nitrates, and WHEREAS, such infiltration poses serious health hazards, and WHEREAS, establishment of a municipal water supply system will eliminate such hazards and promote economic development in the • Jacksonville area, • WE, THE UNDERSIGNED owners of taxable property in the Jackson- : ville area hereby support the undertaking of a water district feasibility study, including the preparation of preliminary maps, study of alternative water sources , employing the services of a Professional engineer and the projection of anticipated costs, financing options and we further support the application of the Town of Ulysses for partial funding for such feasibility study by Tompkins County pursuant to County Local Law #1 for 1985. • NAME RESIDENCE . 1 • 1 , 2. • 3. 4. 5. 6. . 7. .

Mr. Luster stated that with the Board' s permission, he would like ... to appoint the committee and get this petition distributed and returned as soon as possible. The funding application date is April 1st. Mr. Hunt of Hunt Engineers is fairly confident this deadline will be extended. This may be the last year this type of money is available for this type of project, and there is certainly no guarantee we will get it. ® With regard to the general procedures to be followed in establishing the water supply system, if we get the grant it won' t cover the entire cost of the system. The balance will have to be raised locally one way or another. There are three basic ways a Town can go about • • establishing a water district and establishing funding. Mr. Luster ' has consulted with Elizabeth Bixler. Article 12C of the Town Law • gives greatest flexibility - it treats water supply as a Town function and not a water district function - which means that if • the Town Board is inclined, it can spread part or all of the cost over the entire Town (not counting the Village of Trumansburg) or .• partially over the target area and partially over the balance of the Town or all in the target area. If bonds are floated for the • • difference between the grants and actual cost, Mr. Luster fears • that if the cost of the bond was solely imposed on the small Jacksonville area it would be prohibitive. If, on the other hand, • part of it can be spread on a Town-wide charge, everyone would pay a little bit, but in a manner which everyone could afford. ' . The other advantage of 12C is that it allows the Town Board to require a referendum. The vote would be by those people paying for the project. Mr. Reitz asked if the Town Board had to establish the district boundaries and when would this be done. Mr. Luster replied this will be one of the early activities when the engineers come in. • Mr. Reitz asked if there had been further discussion with the . Village of Trumansburg or Town of Ithaca concerning their water system and Mr. Luster responded that only on the broadest of basis. Mr. Luster re-called the resolution passed authorizing him to sign • the contract with Hunt Engineers and reworded it as follows: RESOLVED: that Martin Luster, Supervisor Of the Town of • ' Ulysses be authorized to sign a contract with Hunt Engineers, and BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED: that $2, 250.00 be appropriated to pay for the cost of preparing a general plan, report and map for the providing of water improvements to the area generally defined as • Jacksonville, in the Town of Ulysses and in . accordance with the contract of Hunt Engineers dated February 12, 1985. . IIIMr. Vorp moved, seconded by Mr. Herrick adoption of the above resolution. Adopted: Mr. Luster Aye I Mr. Vorp Aye Mr. Herrick Aye Mr. Weatherby Aye Mr. Luster indicated that we still do not have a contract with the Building Inspector, some questions have been raised and Mr. Luster ' has been in contact with the Town of Ithaca.

' TOWN OF ULYSSES t. : REGULAR BOARD MEETING February 12 , 1985 Page 6 Bob Snedeker has been appointed Fire Inspector. Martin Luster wrote to Albany to find out if regulations that have been proposed by New York State in November had been adopted. He hasn' t received an answer. ; He has also called the Chief Council for the Fire Prevention Code in the Secretary of State' s Office, and left word that he would like to be called back--thus far hasn' t received a call. In the meantime Bob has performed some of his function as we under- .. stand those functions to be and right now we are limiting that to investigation of chimney fires and others upon complaint or request. • Had a Public Hearing on Local Law #1 - 1985 on January 22nd and one person attended and that one person spoke in opposition to the enactment • of Local Law #1. Mr. Luster read the law as follows: :" BE IT ENACTED BY THE TOWN BOARD OF THE TOWN OF ULYSSES AS FOLLOWS: Section 1. Purpose. The purpose of this law is to amend Local Law No. 1 for 1979 relative to dog license fees to be charged by the Town • Section 2. Section 10 of Local Law No. 1 for 1979 is hereby amended to read as follows: "Section 10. License and impoundment fees. For licenses issued on or after the effective date of Y this law, the following fees shall be charged: $6.50 for each spayed or neutered dog and $11. 50 for each unspayed or unneutered dog; local addition- al charge of $3 .00 for each dog impounded pursuant to this law. Section 3. EFFECTIVE DATE. This law shall take effect . immediately upon its filing with the Secretary of State. • 1 Mr. Vorp motioned, seconded by Mr. Herrick the adoption of the Local. Law #1 - 1985. Mr. Luster asked if there was any discussion. He indicated that the • purpose to increase license fees and impoundment fees is to help make up the deficit created by the contract we signed with the SPCA - this will not cover the entire amount but will help. • Since this is a Local Law a roll call vote was called by Marsha Georgia, • Town Clerk. Mr. Luster, Aye; Mr. Vorp, Aye; Mr. Weatherby, Aye; Mr. ' Herrick, Aye. Carried. The Clerk will file a copy of the law with the Secretary of State. Tom Reitz found in going through old records, a resolution in 1973 that delegated to the Town Planning Board the authority to approve subdivision applications. There was also reference made to a prior resolution of 1960 which did the same thing. Mr. Luster researched the law as did Elizabeth Bixler. Even without subdivision regulations, if a resolution such as passed in 1960 and 1973 is enacted by the Town Board, the Planning Board has the sole authority to pass upon sub- - • division applications. The law sets forth a series of general criteria for them to follow in the absence of specific subdivision regulations. The law further states that if there is to be subdivision regulations in a Town, it can only be done through such a delegation to a Planning Board. What we were doing with Mr. Parker' s application - we were using the provision in the Town Law that gives us the option of whether or not to accept the dedication of a newly created road as a lever to control the subdivision and basically what the discussions have been with regard to Mr. Parker' s development, is that we would not accept the dedication of a road to the Town unless we felt the subdivision was satisfactory in all other regards: water supply, drainage, etc. Mr. Luster indicated he thought that a back door approach to sub- division regulations and now, with the knowledge that we have - that we have in fact delegated this authority to the Planning Board - what it comes down to is Mr. Parker' s application is properly before the • Planning Board and they will have the final say. The law requires they hold a Public Hearing, but Mr. Luster indicated that the Public Y ..•b ' j ' '! '.... .:l.. . ...1i1;•-11� • 1 : , N . .;.•rt,:' t . •,7y,.'. . ... "F. '.i , '3i•y :;:7-i. :.� . TOWN OF ULYSSES SS REGULAR BOARD MEETING �f3dl� February 12, 1985 Page 7 Hearing held by the Town Board doesn' t count. The Planning Board has to hold a Public Hearing and then make a final determination on whether to give preliminary approval to this subdivision application. Mr. Luster doesn' t think they can give final approval because the final map has not been filed with the County. isi They are beyond the time limit (45 days) but given the fact that we were feeling our way through this, Mr. Luster asked that the Planning Board promptly schedule a Public Hearing on this. At one time the Town Board discussed this subject and there was concern among some members of the Board that they wanted to maintain final approval over these applications. This cannot be done. The law is clear. Once the delegation is made to the Planning Board the Town Board has divested itself of jurisdiction. The Town Board never had j jurisdiction to control subdivisions ; the only way it can be done is through a delegation to the Planning Board. Mr. Reitz talked with Mr. Reynolds, Chairman of the Planning Board. • The Planning Board has already acted upon this and they don' t see where another Public Hearing is necessary, and asked if the Town Board would give preliminary approval and then meet later with both Planning , Board and the Town Board. Mr. Luster siad he didn' t think it legal ' and it was in Mr. Parker' s interest to have a Public Hearing before the . Planning Board. If it is not done and the Planning Board approves it, . then a resident who is not in favor of it can raise all kinds of questions about the procedure. Another application, one for Perlie Green Development District has • • been recommended for approval by the Planning Board and a Public Hearing set. Mrs. Georgia will get the deed so an accurate description • can be made of the property. The Public Hearing will be March 12, 1985 at 7:00 PM, prior to the regular Board Meeting. This is for replacement of a mobile home. _ . NEW BUSINESS : Mr. Luster asked for a resolution giving him authorization to execute • the 1985 contract for fire protection with the Village of Trumansburg in the amount of $27,217.00. He just received the contract. It is • the same as prior years, just less money. The contract calls for payment by March 1st. All Town taxes have been collected so we have the money to pay for this. A motion was made by Mr. Herrick, seconded by Mr. Vorp for the adoption of the following resolution: RESOLVED: That Mr. Martin Luster, Supervisor of the Town of Ulysses be authorized to execute the 1985 contract Y. for fire protection with the Village of Trumansburg in the amount of $27, 217.00. •Adopted: Mr. Vorp Aye • Mr. Herrick Aye . .

Mr. Luster asked Ms. Bixler to investigate the request for a donation and see if there is any legal basis for making a pledge. Marsha Georgia, Town Clerk, reported the total fees for the month of January was $887.00 of which $590.53 was turned over to the Supervisor. $45.00 was collected for Building Permits. The amount of $2,902.80 was billed to ISA Poultry in lieu of taxes. It has been paid and the money turned over to the Supervisor. James Meeker, Highway Superintendent reported. ( see attached) David Zimet, Zoning Officer, reported. For the month of January, four permits were issued. Jacksonville gas station case was finally settled out of court. Has received a number of calls regarding what needs to be done - re Zoning regulations. David has revised and had • printed a new Building Permit. He has written proposed partial revision for Zoning Ordinance, and has sent it on to the County Planning Department. Robert Snedeker, Fire Inspector, investigated a chimney fire on Krums • • Corners Road. Also, one requested inspection was checked and resolved. • James Meeker brought forth a concern. The route they plow goes as far a Perry City Road. Town of Ulysses Zoning signs are on Iradell Road so there is a mile between the two that is actually within the • Town of Ulysses. Town of Enfield plows down to Perry City Road and • back towards Enfield. Mr. Meeker has received quite a few calls about Halseyville Road not being plowed, etc. between Perry City Road and Heights Road. He asked if there was something we could do. Mr. • Luster asked why Enfield was doing it and we weren' t. Why not assert • ' our jurisdiction. Mr. Luster can write a letter to Mr. Hubbell and suggest to him we realign who takes care of what and then we will be responsible. Mr. Meeker explained that most of the roads are County roads and they assign for mileage and what can be handled by a crew. Mr. Meeker will contact the County and see what can be done. • Mr. Luster announced that on Thursday, February 14, 1985, between 4-6, Mr. Matthew Hammill, who is Congressman McHugh' s District Representa- tive, will be at the Town Hall to meet with residents and discuss any problems/concerns they may have. • Hearing no further business, a motion was made to adjourn the meeting.

Others Present: Robert Hunt, Tom Reitz and Jack Moynes. Notice of the meeting was posted on the Clerk's bulletin board. 1 . ' 4 Mr. Hunt, of Hunt Engineers reviewed the tentative schedule for establishing • a water district for the Town of Ulysses. • March 5 - Workshop session - 7:30 PM March 5-26 - Data collection, mapping, cost analysis March 26 - Workshop session - 7:30 PM April 9 - Public hearing April 23 - Referendum April 29 - Submit application & documentation (HUD) Elizabeth Bixler, Town Attorney, reviewed the schedule in regard to timing, . as far as advertising for the referendum. , Mr. Luster indicated that one initial problem is we have no agreement with • regard to source of water. We have talked about Trumansburg and Ithaca, we . have no agreement with either, and only the mildest of approaches to them. Mr. Hunt felt he should contact both Trumansburg and Ithaca and look at both of those options, then present them to the Board, regarding cost, and what _ restrictions they might place on them and so on. He will gather the data from both of these possible sources, and even look at the possibility of Ulysses' own source. Mr. Luster asked if this was to be done all within this time-span established? ' Mr. Hunt replied within the next two weeks he would be doing the collection of . this data, mapping and cost analysis, for the next work session on the 26th of • March at 7:30 PM. Mr. Hunt asked for a copy of the tax map. All present discussed the mapping out of the district. Several tax maps were cut up and taped together and a tentative water district was established. Mr. Hunt asked Mrs. Georgia, Town Clerk to make a list of all parcels as to owner, tax parcel number and assessment of all parcels in the tentative district. Mr. Reitz announced that Jacksonville Community Assoc. would be holding a meeting March 18th at the Jacksonville Methodist Church. He felt that this - would be a good opportunity for the residents to ask questions in regards to • the Water District prior to the Public Hearing. The Board and Mr. Hunt agreed that that would be a good idea. A general discussion took place in regards to Hud application filing and different avenues of funding.

Mr. Holtkamp said that he wished to remodel the present living quarters on the second floor of the Inn to accommodate eight (8) guest rooms, each with private bath. All renovations would be interior with the exception of painting the exterior and replacing exterior doors. There would be no change in the dimensions of the Inn. He also said Cayuga Inn, prior to about 1953, had been operated as an Inn, and that he discontinued that activity at that time. Mr. Holtkamp also said he plans, if this first phase proves successful, to construct a twelve (12) room unit to the south of the Inn, possibly in the next five to eight years, with the possibility that a further 12-room unit might be constructed farther south on the site in question, at some later time. He said he would like to have the entire concept considered instead of just the eight rooms in the Inn building. Mr. Reitz asked about the water and sewer needs. Mr. Holtkamp said the Health Department has dug test holes for the first phase of the project and that sewege disposal plans had been approved, also the water supply would prove IIIadequate. He said there would be a seperate sewage system created for the first 12-room unit when and if it is constructed. Mr. Holtkamp also said he plans to operate on an eight month basis. Mr. Reitz moved the Board approve Mr. Holtkamp's application for a Planned Development District with the submission of a plat drawn to dimensional scale, the re-wording of his proposal to include possible additions of 12-room units ' in future years and that all construction be in compliance with the requirements of the Health Department regarding sewage disposal and water supplies, and • . that the requirements of the Zoning Ordinance relative to adjacent properties and buildings be considered. Mr. Smith seconded the motion.

PUBLIC HEARING PLANNING BOARD March 8, 1985 Purpose: Presentation of a Preliminary Plat Plan for a proposed subdivision '' for Richard Parker, property located on Perry City Road, Tax Parcel 1126-3-8.4 and to hear public comment to same. , Present: Roland Reynolds, Chairman Planning Board; Planning Board members M. Budd Stover, H. William Smith, Tom Reitz, Mr. Bauchie, Aileen Beers, Recording Secretary. Others present: see attached sign in list. Chairman Reynolds read the draft description from T.G. Millers, Assoc. for . Richard Parker for his proposed subdivision. (Copy on file) . • Mr. Reynolds then opened the floor for comments; going in the order of sign in. . . Jean Lockwood: stated that she is concerned about the amount of traffic on Rt. 96 and the intersection of Perry City Road and 96. She stated the intersection is not a good intersection. She stated she has lived in the area as a renter and a property owner, and landlord, so her arguments go round and round in a circle. She would vote against this subdivision-- . reason; because she wants to see growth on this side of the lake, and . doesn't want to hear the noise about Rt 96 where she is. That is how • she gauges civilization and country. Jean Ward: doesn't care to speak at this time but reserves the right to ask • questions later. Her main reason for attending was to see the map and • hear what the Board of Health has said. Mr. Reynolds passed the map out for the public to view. He also reviewed the correspondence from the Board of Health (on file) . Mr. Reynolds also reviewed a letter from T.G. Millers, Assoc. to Mr. Parker. 1. Mr. LaPoint: stated that they are already apprehensive about their wells going dry. He is located right across the road, on the up slope, so if someone, is drawing the water off down the same stream, we would have more problems. • Terrell Moore: asked if the proper forms have been filled out. Mr. Reynolds explained the process. The first thing is the hearing and then if it is approved, it is at a preliminary stage. , The function of the Planning ' Board is to see that all the requirements are met from all of the other agencies. Mr. Reitz stated that the Environmental Assessment Form was made out by Mr. Parkers engineer and that it is available for review. •' Judith Cone: questioned if there is a stream running through the lot. • Mr. Reynolds and Mr. Parker replied that the stream is on the outside of the '. • lots. Jean Ward: stated she has lived at her residence 33 years, which is across . from the proposed subdivision. The stream in question is down 10 months • ® out of the year, but during snow run-off in the spring she has had high water nearly to her door. She cannot imagine what it would be like next to the stream. She can't believe it wouldn't affect wells or septic systems right next to it. Mr. LaPoint: asked if the subdivision is for 8 lots or 16 lots. Mr. Reynolds clarified that the preliminary request is for 8 lots. Mr. Parker did draw up the map for 16 lots, but 8 lots would be developed first with the road. If there were no problems with the 8, then he would proceed in another planned development for the other 8. • TOWN , TN OF ULYSSES • PUBLIC HEARING PLANNING BOARD March 8, 1985 Page 2 Pam Loveless: asked which 8 lots would be developed first, the 8 in front of her or the 8 in front of LaPoint. Mr. Reynolds asked for further comments going in order of sign in. Judith Cone: concern is not only with the Environmental Impact on the land itself, but with the intersection of Rt 96 and Perry City Road which is }' extremely dangerous. illWilliam Jones: concern of creek, conservation concern. ® Mr. Reynolds stated the Board of Health would have checks on this and Mr. Reitz stated that the Environmental Assessment would also look into this. T. Moore: concern of the traffic and neighborhood. He purchased property in this location because it was not developed. More people, more traffic. Mr. Warren: they own the adjoining 12 acres, and have concern on how this subdivision would effect the wells. The concern of the maintenance of the road from the subdivision, and the traffic pattern worked out. Mr. Parker: responded to the statement of maintenance to the road for the subdivision. He stated that until 50% of the houses are built, it would be maintained by himself. The road does have to be built to Town of Ulysses specifications and then after 50% completion, the Town of Ulysses would take the road over. The road will have to meet State specifications also, as where it meets with Perry City Road. Pam Loveless: stated she understood the area for the subdivision is zoned as agriculture land. She.asked if this has to be rezoned? A concern she has is the road coming onto Perry City Road, the more density of homes the heavier the traffic. Another concern is the drainage. She is concerned ' Illabout the environmental impact assessment being filed. Mr. Reynolds assured her this does have to be filed. He also stated that this would have to be rezoned, that that is part of the subdivision rules, but only the subdivision would be rezoned, not the area. Pam Loveless: asked if this rezoning would make a difference as to taxes and the assessment of various properties. Mr. Reynolds said it should not make a differnece on the surrounding areas. Mr. Reitz pointed out the subdivision would or could broaden the tax base. Pam Loveless: asked who has control over the amount of money spent in this subdivision or the size. Hr. Reynolds responded that the size of the homes would be regulated by zoning. Judith Cone: asked if this was the first time for a subdivision. Mr. Reynolds stated that yes, this is the first one, as a subdivision, to be • regulated since 1973. Jean Ward: stated that Mr. Parker keeps saying that people will be building 80 to 100 thousand dollar homes, nothing has been put on paper. There III is nothing to prevent a person from putting a double-wide trailer on these lots. Once the lot is sold he has no say. How can anyone know what will be done with the lot. Mr. Parker replied that he did see the plans for two of the potential buyers and they were expensive homes. What happens to the other lots is questionable. He can't really see someone building a $30 thousand home where there are $80 thousand homes. T. Moore: asked what the Planning Board will use as a basis for their decision and will it be made tonight? , fit r . .. ' '• � �V '27.:,•- . ,: . 'Y r.; .* .. 3r . e} (. A r. . . ...

PLANNING BOARD March 8, 1985 • Mr. Reynolds responded that they will have to look this over as a whole not • just as one person. The community as a whole. The big thing is what the law governs. If the Board does not go according to the law then they could be held responsible. Mr. Reitz stated that we are at the second public hearing, because it was ' found that there was a law passed by the Town Board in 1973 giving the • Planning Board the powers to approve subdivision regulations. He stated that the Planning Board does have 45 days to give a decision. If no decision is given it is automatically approved. Howard Loveless: concern of the whole scope - that maybe this subdivision . • will sometime grow into a larger subdivision. He feels that once started it won't be stopped and his water could be in danger. Mr. Reynolds stated that the health department would individually check out each one. First a test lot. The Board of Health won't check this out until preliminary approval. A long process, and the Health Department • can stop this anytime. Mary Graham: not interested in more development in the area, and concerned with the traffic. Carol Marion: concern of taking agricultural land out of use and making a subdivision. H.C. Heidt: no problem. Neva LaPoint: trouble with her well - attest to higher traffic - choose to live there because of quietness. Don't like the idea of that amount of . people. Art LaPoint: concern why anyone would like to build a home in a swamp. No ® drainage - afraid of getting modular homes. Mrs. Loveless: appreciates being able to speak at public hearing. • Mr. Reynolds feels in light of the questions brought forward at this time, he would not like to make a decision now. • . Mr. Reitz summarized by saying the two main concerns were traffic and drainage, that should be addressed. He too feels like Mr. Reynolds, these questions may • be better answered by County Planning. A question was raised that if the Board approves this subdivision, do the residents have the right to contest it? Mr. Reynolds stated that you have . the right to contest. Also if disapproved, Mr. Parker has that right. Mr. Reitz explained it is a civil practice law. Again he stated the Board has Lhtee choices, Approval, Disapproval, and approval with modification. Approval is approval of a preliminary plan, then Mr. Parker has six months to file with the Board a final plan, which we then go back through and review . again. The final plan has to have all the documents of. the County Board of S Health, the Environmental Impact, the Town Board tentively for the road, possible permission from the Fire Department and County Highway. None of that enters into that now. Mr. Reynolds made it clear if the final plan came back without a changes from the preliminary plan, no public hearing would have to take place. A public - Ill hearing would only be necessary if there are changes. Mr. Reynolds emphasized that even if it is approved, this is just the first step. All that would be approved is that Mr. Parker can go to all these other • agencies for their approval. Hearing no further comments, Mr. Reynolds moved to adjourn this public hearing until Wednesday, March 20th at 7:30 PM in the Clerk's Office. Unanimously • carried.

Mr. Luster moved, seconded by Mrs. Duddleston the adoption of the following resolution: RESOLVED: that there shall be paid a fee of $25.00 for each application for subdivision approval involving five or fewer lots and • $50.00 for each such application involving more than five lots.

A Public Hearing would have to be held and action. This also works into another item up for discussion, Local Fire and Building Code Regulations. Mr. Luster had indicated at the last meeting that the State was requiring localities to promogate local regulations to enforce the Uniform Building and Fire Codes. Mr. Luster has received correspondence from the State and we do indeed need local regulations and the • State suggests either by Local Law or resolution, or as Mr. Zimet is doing, by amendments to the Zoning Ordinance. Mr. Luster feels that the amending Zoning Ordinance is the best.

TOWN OP ULYSSES` r' REGULAR BOARD MEETING March 12, 1985 Page 5 Mr. Luster commented on another funding announcement that came in yesterday. A mini-grant for 1985 from the Tompkins County Youth Bureau. Total amount is $1,937.00 for the County. These grants are being offered as mini-grants, • no more than $500.00 to stimulate new or expanding programs or services to meet specific priorities. Mr. Luster will forward this information on to F Jon Speich who is our liaison to Ulysaes Youth Unlimited. Mr. Reitz expressed some items of interest going on with the Planning Board. He reported on the Public Hearing they had for the Parker Subdivision. A good turn out for the hearing. The concerns brought out were traffic on Perry City Read and the intersection of Perry City Road and Route 96, the drainage of water on the proposed development and surrounding development. The Board • all is addressing these problems and will reconvene on March 20th at 7:30 PM to take action. Mr. Reitz finds as a new member of the Planning Board, the infor- mation that the Board is getting is very inadequate, and a lack of information. • He feels the Board should take a closer look at the proposed developments • before turning incomplete requests over to the Planning Board. . Mr. Luster stated he feels that this is being addressed through some of the sugggeations that Mr. Zimet has in the amendments.

Present: Planning Board Members Roland Reynolds, Chairman; William Smith, M. Budd Stover, R. Bauchle, Tom Reitz, Recording Secretary Marsha rn Georgia. Others Present: Richard Parker Mr. Reynolds called the adjourned Public Hearing to order at 7:35 PM. The Planning Board would discuss the questions that were raised at the Public Hearing on March 15th, 1985. The two main concerns were traffic and drainage. 4. Three Planning Board members, with Richard Parker, walked the property. They looked over the stream that was in question. Mr. Reynolds stated that as far as the problems brought up with the stream, he didn't find them valid. Mr. Stover agreed. Mr. Reynolds stated that in order for water from the stream - :- to get to the lots that Mr. Parker plans to develop, the stream would have to raise approximately six feet, and the width would have to expand sixty to seventy feet. This stream runs two foot normal width and four to five inches deep. They found no evidence of flooding. They addressed the problems brought up regarding drainage. The slope of the lots are 2° to 3° away from the road. The new road will be engineered to have gutters and that will take the water away. Sewers will be flowing away from the stream, no evidence of any problem. No evidence of wetlands as such, no cattails, swamp. The wet that was there is normal for the time of year. The question addressed as to this being zoned agriculture and the zoning would have to be changed; this proposed subdivision is in a wooded lot. Mr. Stover stated that the Town is zoned residential and zoning changes make it commercial or you apply for exempt class for agriculture. The next main concern is the traffic. Mr. Reitz addressed this. He has contacted William Hobbs, the Commissioner of Public Works/Highways for the County. Mr. Hobbs does not recollect ever having to work a subdivision on to a County road. Mr. Hobbs was totally unknowledgable about the particu- lar proposed subdivision as presented to the Planning Board. He wasn't sure what part of Town Law or Municipal Law would be affected. Mr. Reitz recommended that the Board present to Mr. Hobbs a copy of the map and all the information and comments. The general concensus of the Board is to give Mr. Hobbs copies of the maps, and any other pertinent information regarding traffic and listen to his comment on this before final approval. Mr. Reynolds feels that the Planning Board has looked very closely into all the concerns brought out at the Public Hearing from concerned residents. • Mr. Reynolds moved, seconded by Mr. Reitz the adoption of the following resolution: RESOLVED: that the Planning Board of the Town of Ulysses gives preliminary approval of the subdivision for Richard E. Parker located on Perry City Road, Tax Parcel 11 26-3-8.4, submitted with modification of 8 lots inntead of the orginal 16 lots. FURTHER RESOLVED: that the Planning Board of the Town of Ulysses be designated as the Lead Agency. Mrs. Georgia called for a roll call vote: Mr. Reynolds Aye Mr. Reitz Aye Mr. Bauchle Aye Mr. Stover Aye Mr. Smith Aye Adopted. .. PLANNING BOARD ADJOURNED PUBLIC HEARING March 20, 1985 Page 2 I. • The Board reviewed with Mr. Parker what he will need for final approval. Mr. Reynolds asked Mr. Parker if he planned on building the road or putting up a bond for the building of the road. Mr. Parker replied he intends to build it. Mr. Parker did state he would not start the road until he had all the approvals necessary for the subdivision. Mr. Parker commented that he would have final approval for everything before the first lot would be sold. Mr. Reynolds stated that before final approval, if any changes are made, a new Public Hearing may be necessary. The decision for another Public Hearing e is up to the discretion of the Planning Board. If the Planning Board deems there is not enough changes they can say no Public Hearing is necessary. . The first step for Mr. Parker now that he has preliminary approval, is to go to the Board of Health. Mr. Parker replied that he needs John Anderson's recommendations to take to his engineer to be laid out on a map, such as • septic systems, wells, etc. Also, for final approval a plat map and a topographical map. Mr. Reynolds would like tc run thisby the Fire Department to see if there is good access. . • Mr. Reynolds has spoken with Jim Meeker, Highway Superintendent regarding the construction of the new road. One concern of Mr. Reynolds was what is a reasonable guarantee, that Mr. Parker would have to submit to the Town. How long would Mr. Parker be responsible for the maintenance. Mr. Meeker had said that the road specs would be good for ten (10) years. He felt a two (2) year guarantee from Mr. Parker would be adequate. Mr. Parker will check with Mr. Meeker on specifications. Mr. Parker asked how long do residents have to appeal this decision of the • preliminary approval. The Board read Town Law #282 and it is 30 days in which the residents have to appeal. An Environmental Impact Statement may — III need to be filed or declare a negative declaration. Mr. Reynolds feels the people that have the power to sign the declaration would be the Town Board . or the Town Board gives that power to someone else. This has not been determined as yet. Mr. Reynolds reviewed the steps again before final approval. Board of Health procedures, comment from the Fire Department, the specifications on the road, and the Environmental Impact Statement, the final mapping. Mr. Parker thanked the Planning Board for everything. • Hearing no further comments, Mr. Stover moved, seconded by Mr. Smith to adjourn the adjourned Public Hearing at 8:15 PM. Transcribed by Marsha Georgia Typed by Paula Mount III , TOWN OF ULYSSES PLANNING BOARD MEETING March 20, 1985 t. Mr. Reynolds called the meeting to order at 8: 16 PM. Present: Planning Board Members - Roland Reynolds, Chairman; William • Smith, M. Budd Stover, R. Bauchle, Tom Reitz, Recording Secretary Marsha Georgia. Mr. Reynolds proposed that the Board review the subdivision regulations that Mr. Reitz has drawn up. A draft copy is on file in the Clerk's Office. Mr.Reitz commented that these regulations would be a working copy for the Planning Board. These will not be given out to the public. Mr. Reitz went on to read the first part of the regulations. A general discussion took place. Hearing no questions, the subdivision regulations were put aside and the business of William Holtkamp's Planned Developemtn was discussed. Mr. Zimet, Zoning Officer, has pointed out that the parking is inadequate. The Planning Board agreed that they have already sent this on to the Town Board recommending approval. The matter of parking will be taken care of through the Zoning permit. It was discussed whether or not Mr. Holtkamp should have to come back, before his possible additions to the planned development, for possible review. Mr. Reynolds feels that the concept of Planned Development is to put down every- thing that is planned for the future so a developer doesn't have to continue coming back for approval. Now if the concept of the development changes, then of course he would have to return. Mr. Holtkam's application has been sent = to County Planning for recommendation. The Board agreed that the recommendation for approval stands. Mr. Reynolds commented to the Board that he would like to see a decision on the subdivision regulations by June 1st. It was decided that before the next Planning Board meeting, they will read through the first twenty-three pages of the regulations, make written comments on the draft copy and then entertain the comments. The next meeting is scheduled for April 3rd. Mr. Reitz moved, seconded by Mr. Reynolds the adoption of the following resolution: RESOLVED: that the Planning Board of the Town of Ulysses express their sincere appreciation to Richard Backer and Aileen Beers for their service to the Planning Board. Adopted: Mr. Reynolds Aye Mr. Reitz Aye • Mr. Bauchle Aye Mr. Stover Aye Mr. Smith Aye Mr. Reitz pointed out that the Board is looking for another member since Mr. Backer resigned as of March 1, 1985. Copies of the proposed Zoning changes were distributed to the Planning Board. . Mr. Reynolds moved, seconded by Mr. Stover the adjournment of the meeting. - Hearing no objections, the meeting was adjourned at 9:25 PM.

The purpose of tonight's meeting is to hear from Robert Hunt, of Hunt Engineers, ® as to any proposals he has come up with and for the Board to act on an order, making a plan to be filed with the Town Clerk to be available to the public, and that a public hearing date be set. (All subject to change after the public hearing) . As the first order of business, Mr. Hunt distributed and reviewed his report and a map of the source's as follows: (see attached) � The district boundaries have been changed since the last work session. Due to the lack of homes it was not feasible to keep the original boundaries. This revised district is a substantial financial savings. • Mr. Hunt stated that in the future, it would be possible to tie different systems together. Mr. Reitz asked about dead-end lines. Mr. Hunt stated that it is not the most desirable way to have dead-end lines, whenever possible you do try to loop the lines. With the situation at this point, Mr. Hunt would not strongly push to finish off the loops because of the initial cost. You would be looking at $125 thousand dollars more to serve 8 families. Mr. Hunt is trying to provide a workable option at this point, and be cost effective. Mr. Weatherby asked why the line wouldn't continue down Route 96 to Jacksonville instead of going up the ilalseyville Road. Mr. Hunt replied it was the closest way to the district and if you look at the property, you would service more residents. Financing was discussed. If the HUD Grant is approved, a bond of $590,625.00 would have to be taken out. Mr. Luster has worked up a percentage of cost based on a 40 year bond at 10% interest, with a first annual payment of $73,764.00, showing the high extreme in and out of the district and the lowest. This is Just an example based on $50,000.00 assessment (this is debt service, not usage) . (see attached) Mr. Luster explained what the task of the Board is tonight---under the section of the law we elected to precede under. The Town Board has to adopt a plan. The plan is in general terms, it sets forth a map, an amount to be expended, a general description of the district, sets forth a general description of the improvement, sets forth a general description of financing. That plan consists of Mr. Hunt's report, the mare and an order the Board will adopt is filed will, the Clerk's Office and is on file for public inspection. ® The public hearing is set for April 9th on that plan. The Board will listen to public comment and then at the Regular Meeting on April 9th, the Board would have to act officially and that would be a more detailed resolution setting forth the precise boundaries, setting forth the precise matter of financing, and under Article 12c, must set forth the apportionment costs between those getting the benefit of the district and those not getting the benefit. The detailed resolution passed on April 9th would be subject to a referendum. Because of timing, the referendum will be scheduled on April 29th or 30th. Mr. Luster explained the reason for apportioning part of the cost to people who are not getting direct benefit, although he feels everyone In the Town will get some benefit, because if people just in the district have to pay the cost of this bond on a $50,000.00 home, they would be paying $737.00 a year plus the meter cost. An awfully large amount for a single family to handle. If we spread out at least part of the cost to an area outside the district it will be substantially less and relieves the burden on those homeowners. Some of the benefits to outside residents would be possible moderate commercial development '\ r 1 a: • ' ,IQ IY , ' ' } 1ydLi i. •la.''_j : .4\Y .1•l , r.�.. r i.�: +. ��L.. ♦ C• t.). .3.,: r , �� v +.d -.ci:.4{N_.{$.ny'4•-°,1"'•.°i `•1�• ,. .. ...>....1,..1: Town of Ulysses/Work Session Town Board/Hunt Engineer March 26, 1985 Page 2 within Jacksonville, the re-sale of Agro-Bio, with creation of Jobs there, the increase In assessed valuation to homes being served by reason of water, will in some degree relieve the tax burden on other home owners in the town, this 1s a small degree. Also gets our foot in the door in terms of getting a system established and in terms of future years for future grants. '---1 easier to extend than to create. These are some benefits to outside -- residenis of the water district. If the cost to them is small enough, not to be painful, but will help this heavy burden on those being served. Mr. Hunt also stated you would be extending your fire protection. A discussion took place. As to the residents within the district choosing to be in or out. The understanding is once the boundaries of the district are • •, established, those inside the district would be there. The-boundaries have not been. Mr. Stover, who has substantial farm property now in the district choJses, at this time, not to be included in the boundaries of the district. Mr. Stover is not against this water district, but because of unanswered questions, he withdraws the properties with parcel numbers 20-2-2, 25-4-5: 1 and 19-4-18. Mr. Luster commented that the proposed resolution would be changed to make the funding a little higher for anticipated residents who may want in - the map excluding the Stover's properties, would be the district for now. Mr. Luster moved; seconded by Councilwoman Duddleston, the adoption of the following resolution: RESOLVED: WHEREAS, the Town Board of the Town of Ulysses has adopted a resolution appropriating funds to pay for the preparation of a plan and map with regard • to the supplying of water to the Jacksonville area and WHEREAS, plans, reports and maps have been duly submitted to the Town Board for consideration by Hunt Engineers, engineers licensed to practice in the State of New York, and • WHEREAS, the Town Board has duly considered each of the options presented t. to it by said engineers it is ORDERED that the plan of Hunt Engineers to supply water to the area of Jacksonville in the Town of Ulysses as hereinafter deacribud be filed with the Town Clerk and it is further • , ORDERED that a public hearing be held on said plan on the 9th day of April, 1985 at 7 o'clock p.m. at the auditorium of the Charles O. Dickerson High School, Trumansburg, New York and it is further ORDERED that a copy of this Order be published in the official newspaper of the Town no less than ten days prior to said hearing and that the name ba duly posted in accordance with law. IMPROVEMENT It is proposed that the Town of Ulysses construct a water supply system to serve the area hereinafter set forth, including service to property boundary lines, Ill hydrants, necessary valves, meters, and miscellaneous associated improvements. MAXIMUM AMOUNT The maximum amount to be expended on the proposed improvement is $1 ,100,000. .

JOINT MEETING OF THE TOWN BOARD OF ULYSSES AND THE VILLAGE OF TRUMANSBURG April 1 , 1965 PURPOSE: discussion of possible hook-up of the Town of Ulysses on to the Village of Trumansburg's water system. PRESENT: Martin Luster, Supervisor; Councilpeople Robert Herrick, James Vorp, Carolyn Duddleston; Carl Mann, Mayor; Trustees Robert Scott, Dennis Rodabaugh, Gene Burpee, Tom Smith; Bud Golder, Attorney; Marsha Georgia, Town Clerk. OTHERS PRESENT: William Savoy. Mr. Luster commented that the Town of Ulysses is Interested in establishing a water district in the Jacksonville area. The Town has taken some steps in that regard, hiring Robert Hunt of Hunt Engineers, in Painted Post, to assist•„, us. Mr. Hunt has prepared a report, which incorporates some reports to the Town from the Tompkins County Health Department Indicating lack of adequate water quality in a number of wells in Jacksonville. There are around forty- three (43) problem wells. The Town Board has somewhat set boundaries for a water imoprovement area, which includes around one hundred sixty (160) parcels. Mr. Hunt has been asked to review the possible options of suppling water to this area. Mr. Hunt has come up with four different alternatives. They are: 1) pull water from the lake by the Town itself at Town owned property at Willow Creek Point - Projected cost: $1 ,705,972.00; 2) draw water from Town of Ithaca: Projected cost: $1 ,437,470.00; 3) own well source - Projected cost: $1 ,433,263.00; 4) from the Village of Trumansburg system - Projected cost: $990,625.00. The fourth alternative is by far the lowest cost. The proposed district, if we can obtain water from the Village, would include a main that would run down 96 to Halseyville Road, then up Halseyville Road to Cold Springs Road and hook into the rest of the district, which includes basically Cold Springs Road, part of Route 96, Jacksonville Road from Kraft Road to Mokeel Road, Swamp College Road about a half mile up from Route 96, and Colegrove Road down to the Town Barns and Route 96 from Cold Springs Road to just past the intersection of Colegrove. There are maps of this district. Mr. Luster stated that what the Town would like to discuss with the Village Board is a possibility of entering Into an agreement whereby the Town residents can purchase water from the Village of Trumansburg. Mr. Luster went on to say a copy of T.C. Miller, Engineers report has been given to Mr. Hunt, who has reviewed it. Based on that report, Mr. Hunt's opinion is that the Village system is adequate to handle this proposed district and more. There are some recommendations made in the Miller Report that perhaps the Town may be in a position to assist the Village in complying with. This water project is contingent on receiving a HUD grant of $400,000.00 and a Town-wide referendum and approval from the State Comptroller. Basically what the Town Board is interested in is talking about the possibility of buying water from the Village, the terms, what the Town can do for the Village and what the Village can do for the Town, assuming the Village's engineer confirms the availability, pressure, and all other matters, so the Village's water would not be destroyed. • Mayor Carl Mann replied that this was of the utmost concern of the Village Board and residents, that the Village system suffer no reduction. Mayor Mann asked what would be the Village's advantages with supplying water to outside the Village limits to allow growth to take place outside the Village. Mr. Luster feels there are a couple of benefits. Number one, the Village will get contributions towards the operation and maintenance of the overall system, beyond the actual use of the people in the Town. If they are paying on a meter, what is paid will go into operation and maintenance, which will be paid to the Village for overall maintenance of the service. So therefore, if something goes wrong with the pump, the Village would have Town money available to assist with repair/replacement in addition to Village money. Secondly, the Town has Incorporated within their figures some monies to enhance the Village system for mutual benefit. It could be for an additional pump or re- building a pump, or a new beach well or something along those lines, to give you a back-up system and/or unit. Thirdly, what we hope is that this project ',. 4�'1i •!''!('p .:i�i`' L �o- � ':� .'i .V. lJ . .. 1l:' . '� .. .'y''•. .. , 'l t<:'�!, '� '. Town of Ulysses/Village of Trumansburg Meeting 0" April 1 , 1985 Page 2 Is basically a foot In the door for Federal money, If Federal monies remain available. According to Mr. Hunt, the next logical step for the Town would be the establishment of a storage tank in the Town, that could work to benefit both the Town and the Village In the event of a breakdown of the system. Fourthly, by encouraging growth outside of the Village, he (Mr. Luster) hardly feels that would be detrimental to the Village because being a Village you are limited by boundaries for growth. Mr. Luster feels that this proposed water district could be of some significant financial advantage to the Village. Mayor Mann commented that a second well is a cure but not a cure. The second _ well does noting if there was a waterline break between the well and Route 89 or • 89 up to the distribution. It would give the available option if a pump went bad. The Village does have a spare pump and spare motor now. They would anticipate a 24 hour turnaround. The back-up system they now use is Hoffmire's well, which is not adequate to supply the Village residents at the • • rate it uses it. Mayor Mann asked what kind of usage would be for the proposed district. Mr. Luster pulled the figures from the report of Mr. Hunt. The present usage would be 60,950 gpd. The projected usage for year 2010 would be 90,950 gpd. This usage is based on a population projection received from the Tompkins County Planning Department. Trustee Burpee asked if this takes into account any potential commercial devel- opment. Mr. Luster replied it certainly includes the Agro-Bio property. It doesn't project any commercial growth. Trustee Smith asked if any commercial development or large apartment complex were to want to develop would they need Board approval. Mr. Luster responded that if it was outside already zoned commercial property, it would, but if anything was to be developed in an already commercial area (which there are very few) it would not have to be Board approved. Mr. Luster commented that he understands, from the report of Mr. Hunt, that the Village's present system was based upon the Village doubling its growth. He understands it's operating at about 50% of capacity. Mayor Mann agreed that it is no where near its limit. Again, Mr. Luster stressed that what the Town is looking for isn't any firm commitment tonight, but what the Town is asking for is indication that the Village would be willing to look into this and perhaps ask you (the Village) for some sort of letter of intent to accompany our HUD application, that could be subject to attorney approval and engineer approval. Mr. Luster asked if the Village would have any idea as to what kind of meter rates may be charged. Mr. Mann stated that they hadn't given much thought to meter rates or bulk rates. Councilman Vorp feels that there is another concern that should be addressed and that is the fact on the human side. The problem we have in the Jacksonville area is that people are having problems with their wells, not only contaminated with gasoline and nitrates, but also there are times there just is no water available. Mr. Vorp feels strongly that this is another aspect to be looked at. • We're talking about fellow human beings in the same Town. Mr. Luster stated that people outside the district would be sharing the cost. Mr. Mann asked if the people outside the Village that are on the system now, would also be paying. Mr. Luster is not sure. He will be looking into this further. There are 70-80 residents outside the Villlage being served at the present time. Trustee Rodabaugh asked how or who'would handle the maintenance, broken lines, the billing, and the meter readings. Attorney Golder's assumption is that it would be a contract price. It could be metered of course, but the Villiege's obligation would stop at the Village line. Mayor Mann feels that most of his questions have been answered. The Trustees agreed, but would like to have a chance to read the report prepared by Mr. Hunt. Mr. Luster explained that the Town Is under a very tight time schedule. The Town of Ulysses/Village of Trumansburg Joint Meeting • April 1 , 1985 • Page 3 • public hearing Is scheduled for April 9th and the deadline for filing the HUD application Is April 29th, which is the same day for the referendum. Trustee Smith asked what type of letter does the Town expect from the Village. He stated he has a problem issuing a letter that is not a commitment,but is a commitment, which can be Interpreted many different ways, without later getting Into a court battle. What specifically is the Town looking for? ; Mr. Luster commented that he feels that probably the minimum the Town needs to accompany the Grant application is a reservation that the two municipalities have entered Into negotiations with a view toward the Village selling water to the Town for the purpose of this district. In that perhaps a list of items that have to be agreed upon before reaching a final agreement such as engineering approval, legal approval. Something to let the Federal Government know that ® the source that the Town Is looking at is a possibility and that the Town is not Just looking at a wild shot. • Trustee Smith asked if the Town had to give an alternative source. Mr. Luster stated that the proposal has to contain a source because the money flows .i.i. from that. If the agreement couldn't be reached, then an entire new application • would have to be done. Attorney Golder reported that the Village system was constructed under a permit -- from the Water Resources. Commission, part of DEC. Their approval, after a public hearing, specifically states that the Village is authorized to sell water to .. users at the present time only within 500 feet of the Village line. Attorney Golder stated that this is another application and hearing process before the • Village would be authorized to sell water. At what stage this would have to take place is not clear. Mr. Golder's thought is for the Village to get copies of Mr. Hunt's report, review and come back with a letter, not of intent, but a letter with the steps and problems of what has to be ironed out before we can go further. Also possibly to come up with a rate for usage. Mr. Mann thought it would be tough coming up with a rate. Probably neither one of the rates they have in effect now for outside users would make the Town residents happy. The present conditions for granting an outside water service are $2,000.00 for hook-up and rate/and a half for base rate and the water pump. • The bulk fee for water is $10.00 a thousand gallons, (example: bulk use for - filling a swimming pool) . Mr. Mann wouldn't be able to say at this time if either of these rates would be used. He (Village Board) would have to contact . their engineer. Mr. Mann decided he would meet with his Board to review the engineers report, talk to their engineer, and attorney. The Village Board will be meeting April 3. If everything goes well, a letter of intent could be drafted at that time and still be in time to fit into the Town's schedule. Hearing no further discussion, the meeting was adjourned. - I . :.li.{.:-.'4':.: '!i �i•,.d i,_ :1,':• .�1�'4 .n . - \... rF4�• .. .,,1:•11Is•.u. ..JILr.,taYnl ....' • .a ":V :1.1. 1• ..., ..u.. TOWN OF ULYSSES PUBLIC HEARING April 2, 1985 PURPOSE: to hear public comment on the proposed Planned Development District requested by William Holtkamp to permit him to add "Bed and Breakfast" to his operation as a restaurant known as Cayuga Inn, with future development of two twelve-room units. • ® PRESENT: Martin Luster, Supervisor, Councilpeople Robert Herrick, James Vorp, Carolyn Duddleston, Robert Weatherby, Marsha Georgia, Town Clerk. • lb OTHERS PRESENT: Mr. and Mrs. William Holtkamp, David Zimet, Zoning Officer, Tom Reitz, Dennis O'Neil, William Savey. Mr. Luster called the Public Hearing to order at 7:35 P.M. Mrs. Georgia read the legal notice published in the Ithaca Journal March 18, 1985. Mr. Luster read the resolution that has been prepared for the Board's action following the public hearing. Mr. Luster asked to hear any comment. David Zimet, Zoning Officer is in receipt from the Tompkins County Planning Board a review of Section 239-1 M on the New York State General Municipal Law. After reviewing the County report that the establishing of this Planned Development would have no significant deleterious impact on intercommunity, county or state interest, therefore, no recommendation is indicated by the • County Planning Department and the Town of Ulysses is free to act without prejudice. Mr. Zimet has no problems with the project. He did state that the parking is substandard according to the Zoning Ordinance, but he feels that it is no problem. He feels that Mr. Holtkamp should consider having a one entrance/ exit so that you don't run into two vehicles pulling out at the same time and • hitting each other, because of the road being a State highway and being heavily traveled. Mr. Luster asked Mr. Zimet, as for parking, at what point in the development - does it not comply with Zoning. Mr. Zimet stated that with the eight rooms it would be out of compliance. But again he stated he feels due to the lay-out of the restaurant and the fact that the Zoning Ordinance talks about growth square footage, and not seating capacity, he feels the parking is adequate. When the two (2) additional buldings are built it would be a Zoning Officer's decision at that time. - Mrs. Duddleston asked Mr. Holtkamp if he had talked with his neighbors in regard to this project. Mr. Holtkamp replied he had not gone to any great lengths to talk to his neighbors, but some had expressed an interest. Mr. Zirnet had sent copies of the public notice to all of the adjacent properties. Dennis O'Neil stated that he deal with tourists and strangers to the area. He feels there is a great need for lodging in this area. He sends a great deal to Ithaca and Watkins for lodging when they would love to be here on Cayuga Lake. Hearing no further comment, Mr. Luster closed the Public Hearing at 7:45 P.M. pm IC.

Budd Stover, Tom Reitz, Marsha Georgia, Secretary. • Others Present: David Zimet, Zoning Officer, Gary Evans, Tompkins County Planning Department. Chairman Reynolds called the Planning Board meeting to order at 7:30 PM and recapped the minutes of the Adjourned Public Hearing for Richard Parker and the Regular Planning Board Meeting of March 20, 1985. Mr. Zimet asked who would take care of the Environmental Impact Assessment Form for the Parker subdivision. Mr. Zimet entered a copy of a memo from Mr. Luster advising that the Planning Board is the lead agency in this subdivision. Mr. Zimet stated he would be glad to take care of the paper work. Mr. Reynolds asked if anyone felt if there is any significant environmental impact In relation to the Parker subdivision? Mr. Stover replied he did not have a problem with the subdivision and felt there would be no environmental impact. Mr. Smith stated he also could not see any environmental impact. Mr. Zimet feels it will have an impact but not a sufficient one. Mr. Stover moved, seconded by Mr. Smith the adoption of the following resolution: RESOLVED: that the Town of Ulysses's Planning Board feels that, after reviewing the proposed subdivision of Richard Parker, there will be no significant environmental impact. They FURTHER RESOLVED: to authorize David Zimet, Zoning Officer of the Town of Ulysses, to submit a negative declaration and file with appropriate agencies. Adopted: Mr. Reynolds Aye Mr. Smith Aye Mr. Stover Aye Mr. Reitz Abstained Mr. Zimet has prepared proposed changes to the Zoning Ordinance. He read his proposed changes. After a discussion it was decided that Mr. Zimet will revise his proposals. The matter was tabled until a future date. The next issue up for discussion is the proposed subdivision Rules and Regulations. Mr. Reynolds would like to go through the regulations page • by page, for discussion and/or questions. (Copy of the draft Rules and Regulations on file in Clerk's office) Areas of discussion and changes: Section 113 - Definitions: #113.08 Town Right of Way - question on Official Town Map. It is believed that on map of the Town of Ulysses has never been map official. Never be adopted, pursuant to Section 270 of NYS Town law. Adopted after a public hearing by the Town Board. Mr. Reynolds stated that there is a need for an official map for the Planning Board to work off of if there are any proposed changes for roads or so forth. It was decided to put the definition of "Lots" under definitions section #113 that is now under Section 201 .1 Section 201 .1 Mr. Reynolds has a concern about division of a lot Into two lots and whether this should be under subdivision regulations. Mr. Evans stated this type of dividing would be under Rural Sub- division. An approval of this sort could be done by the Planning Board at a meeting and no public hearing would be necessary. The Board didn't feel comfortable with subdivision regulations of a two way split of a lot. Mr. Evans stated that if you don't regulate all subdividing, t. PLANNING BOARD MEETING • April 3, 1985 Page 2 you may miss the large subdivision, because someone can register , •� with the County Clerk their plat, she cannot Judge whether It Is large or small, but If you tell the County Clerk that all subdivisions have to have the signature of the Planning Board, then the Planning Board determines the ones to regulate. Mr. Evans replied that his objective here Is not to cause problems for people • who are taking large lots and dividing It into two. That Is why the procedure should be quick and simple as possible. The objective is to make sure the • significant subdivisions, do In fact, get reviewed. I Section 202 It was recommended that this section, naming the three types of sub- divisions, be put in the same order in this section as they appear in : . the definitions. Section 202.2 - Minor Subdivision • Under this section, the Planning Board discussed this may be done with a . single submission by subdivider. Section 205 - Plat Review of Undeveloped Subdivisions It was discussed that if a subdivision was established and then not •• developed, the Planning Board could reclassify the subdivision. Section 210 - Submission of Sketch of Plat 210.1 the deletion of the ten days prior to a meeting was made. 210.1 #2 the deletion of requesting two copies of sketch. This was changed to 'copies as required'. • Section 211 - Classification as to Type of Subdivision Review Procedure This chart would be handed out to a potential developer. Section 212 - Sketch Plat - Information to be Included See Section #232 was added at the end of this section as a footnote. The Planning Board reviewed the next sections with no changes. Reviewed through Section 223. Mr. Reynolds asked that the Planning Board set their next meeting for April 17, 1985 at 7:30 PM to continue with the reviewing of these proposed regulations. The Board agreed on this meeting. Hearing no further business Mr. Smith moved for adjournment. The meeting was adjourned at 9:30 PM.

TOWN OF ULYSSES PUBLIC HEARING April 9, 1985 PURPOSE: to hear public opinion of the proposed Jacksunvillo Water District. PRESENT: Martin Luster, Supervisor; Councilpeople Carolyn Duddleston, Robert Herrick, James Vorp, Robert Weatherby; Elizabeth Bixler, Town Attorney; Robert Hunt, Hunt Engineers; Marsha Georgia, Town Clerk. OTHERS PRESENT: One hundred fourteen residents. Martin Luster, Supervisor called the Public Hearing to order at 7:00PM and intro- duced the Board Members, Attorney and Robert Hunt of Hunt Engineers. Marsha Georgia, Town Cleric, read the two Legal Notices. Mr. Luster stated that the primary purpose of this public hearing is to listen to what the people have to say - but felt that first a brief presentation concerning this project would be helpful. Mr. Luster stated that according to Health Department records, there are twenty homes in the area to be served, with bacteriological problems. There were Depart- ment records for five wells containing gasoline; five wells with dangerous nitrate levels, plus twenty-five wells with nitrates measurable in the water supply, but not yet at a dangerous level. In addition, there are a number of documented incidents of low quality/quantity wells in the area to be served. A number of wells have been reported running dry or pumping very low. In addition to the health concern, it is believed that the creation of a municipal water system would have overall beneficial effects on the Town. It will enhance existing commercial space; encourage further commercial development in that portion of the Town, encourage residential development in that portion of the Town, stimulate jobs and support the tax base by encouraging and increasing economic activity that has • been referred to. It would enhance property values of the homes being served, thereby raising the assessment of those homes and will act as a foot in the door for the possibility of expansion of future water service in the Town. Briefly, the plan is to obtain water from the exisitng Trumansburg Village system. The Town Board has examined, with help of the engineers, all options and among the options, drawing water from the existing system that serves the Village is the most feasible and least expensive way of handling it. The area to be served is outlined on the hand-out maps. By law, a map had to be drawn of the area to be served before any public hearing, and we were forced to be somewhat arbitrary in selecting these boundaries. There was a well pub- licized and fairly well attended preliminary meeting in Jacksonville, held in March. • A second meeting was held on March 26th prior to the adoption of the plan; several parcels were deleted at the request of the owners of those parcels. Several • parcel numbers published as being accepted or released from the district were erroneous and that has been corrected in the minutes of the Board. The estimated cost of this project, figures supplied by the engineers, is $990,625.00. The entire project is contingent upon obtaining a grant from the Federal Governments Department of Housing and Urban Development in the amount of $400,000.00, leaving a balance of $590,625.00 to be raised locally. The Board • proposes to do this by floating bonds in that amount to be paid over a period that can extend up to 40 years. The exact maturity term of the bonds has not yet been determined and will probably be determined for us by market forces. wInformation regarding the maturity of the bonds and the projected interest rate must accompany the application to the New York State Comptroller, and approval by that office is needed before this project can go further. The provisions of the law under which the Town Board has chosen to proceed is known as Article 12-C of Town Law. It permits an apportionment of the cost between the area of the Town being served by the proposed water system and the area of the Town outside of that district, excluding the Village of Trumansburg. The Village of Trumansburg owners are not part of this project in any way. The Town Board felt, in choosing Article 12-C, that they would have the flexibility to make this project economically feasible. If the entire cost of the bonds were to be borne solely by those within the proposed water improvement area, the cost would have been so high the entire project woud not have been workable. Throe cost estimate sheets, labeled A,B, &C were distributed and discussed. ^,, .'S . :ro•:e•i r.-'l. . - i': .t :.i. .. row.,...0.1 :l r 4.i. !r. . . . ,.i..r t 4 d:MO*•. .,• ': . V ' . ... i+;4-.' •'• TOWN OF ULYSSES PUBLIC HEARING April 9, 1985 Page 2 Mr. Luster indicated that one thing the Board would most like to hear from the public tonight Is thoughts and opinions on apportionments of cost, The procedure In regard to this is that after the public hearing, a Regular Town Board Meeting will open and on the agenda of that meeting is a proposed Resolution adopting the final plan. If the Board passes that Resolution tonight and calls for the establishment of this project, there will be a Public Referendum held on April 29th. At that Referendum, owners of all taxable real property in the Town, again excluding the Village of Trumansburg, will have a vote. Eligibility will be deter- mined by latest tax assessment rolls. If the vote on the Referendum is a positive one, an application will, that day, be filed with HUD and will also be processing an application with the State Comptroller for approval. If the HUD grant is awarded, then we will proceed with the marketing of bonds and the start of the project. If the Grant is disapproved, ® that ends the project at that time. . The public has one further right they should be aware of - the action that the Board takes tonight on the main Resolution is subject to judicial review. Anyone who is a tax payer in the Town can take the Town to court to determine whether or not the action of the Board was arbitrary and capricious or to determine whether or not it was in the best interest of the Town. Competition for these monies is fierce and we have a one in ten chance of obtaining this Grant. Further information HUD requires will be given at the Regular Board Meeting. Mr. Luster then asked those wishing to speak to come forward and to identify themselves. Ed Humulock - 1181 Taughannock Blvd. feels it is not fair to have to pay since he is outside of the proposed area and the Village is exempt. Mr. Luster • pointed out that this is a law, there is no choice. Mr. Humulock is opposed and wanted to go on record that any costs (over-runs) should be voted on by the Board and should not be decided by one person. I Stan Koskinen - has his own water district, and he's paid for it. Believes Jacksonville is entitled to their's, provided they pay for it. Roger Buell - presumptious of the Board to assume that those who live in Town and will not receive benefits, should be asked to pay for this. David Kauppinen - lives in Jacksonville. Would like to have his property removed from the district. H. William Smith - Waterburg Road. Are residents and the Board going to allow development and growth in the district? Mr. Luster responded that the feeling of this Board generally has been in favor or resonabie commercial development and the Planning Board has been very active with sub-divisions, etc. Mr. Smith said that if development were to take place, would probably need to have sewage disposal. Mr. Hunt stated that the theory that sewer and water go hand in hand is not necessarily so. The Board is not interested in sewer at this point. Mr. Smith went on record as opposing paying for this - he is outside of the district. Bruce Fellows - Halseyville Road. Asked if possible to withdraw your property? Mr. Luster said only way is by voting down the entire district, others • withdrew prior to adoption. Mr. Fellows asked why he wasn't notified. Mr. Luster stated that all meetings were advertised and published. Articles have been in the Freepress concerning status of project, it has been on the iii radio and in the Ithaca Journal. Lines were drawn in accordance with recommendation of the the engineer as to the best way to get water to the area that needed it most. Mr. Fellows went on record that he does not want to be a part of it. Diane Williams - Agard Road. Opposed to idea, since the Village is exempt, those outside should also be exempt. If Jacksonville wants water they should pay for it. Glenn Appiebee - Questions on the cover sheet of the map - who has done the urging? Martin Luster answered several pieces of correspondence from the Tompkins County Health Department. Applebee: Who has developed proposal? Luster: By the Town Board in conjunction with and advice of the engineer. Applebee: Where does Trumansburg water system originate? luster: Cayuga - .. 4 • .. . TOWN OF ULYSSES at" PUBLIC HEARING " ^ . April 9, 1985 Page 3 Lake. Applebee: No mention of long-range maintenance cost, Luster; Town Board has met once with the Village Board, exploring an arrangement which would provide those answers. Generally speaking, operation and maintenance of a water system Is paid for on a metered basis by the users. Cost of construction would be paid for over a a period of bonds, 25-40 yrs. , whatever they turn out to be and that would be it. The operation and maintenance would continued to be paid and would be paid solely by users of the water. Diane Hillman - Jacksonville Road. One of the people who's well Is affected by ,, bacteria and also a couple hundred feet from wells contaminated by gasoline; and would like to be first person to speak in favor; for some obvious reasons but also for some not so obvious ones. One thing conviently forgotten by some is that there is a well established principle that services not necessarily used by each individual are paid for in some ktne of assessed way by the whole group. Some who don't have children in school still pay school taxes, etc. Noone expects a free ride on the backs of anyone else in the district, but thinks it Important to remember that though it seems like 'pie in the , sky' it is also important that we think of ourselves as a group. We are talking about a basic human need - which is clean water and thinks it would be well for all to remember. Don Oliver - What Is legal bonding limit of the Town? Luster: No limit for water improvment - that's exempt from State Constitution. At this time, the Town • has no bonded indebtedness. Oliver: Has Village agreed to supply water and . at what cost? Luster: They have given us a letter indicating their Intent to pursue the matter with us. No figures. Village right now charges people - outside the Village a surcharge of 50% on top of normal meter charges. Doesn't feel it will be more for the Town and hopes it will be less. Oliver: Stated that they will also be charged $2,000. for hook-up. Asked Mr. Hunt the size of pipe. Hunt: 12" main line and mostly 8" distribution lines. One spot in one area that may need a pump. Oliver: What happens if you go over projected dollar figures set up - what happen to the project? Luster: Would have to come back and start process over again. Oliver: Asked r, how the Board figures which percentage to use. Luster: The Board will have to pick which one to use and it will become part of the Resolution. Bill Szabo - 0 outside, 100 in. Sue Szabo - resents having to pay for scmeone else's water. Carl Butterfield - Jacksonville. In principle an excellent idea, concerned about people who have a problem with water. On the other side of the issue, the costs are very high and one concern we should be aware of is the additional costs of not only paying for this system but also the annual cost of the water may be a detrimental affect in terms of industry and people moving to our area. Francis Lueder - Swamp College Road about } mile from where the district will • cross the road. Asked if engineer could tell him, if he decided to hook into the system, what the cost would be. Hunt: $92,000.00 Lueder: Asked if they had investigated possibility of using the Cold Springs as a source of water. Excellent source - never failed. Let people who have the problem form their own little water district and get it from there. Hunt: Stated they had investigated a well supply in the area of Kraft Rd. Lueder: Questioned sheet A and the 20%, 80% split. How much cost to hook-up? Hunt: Service ® will be supplied to the property lines and a meter will be supplied - but actual taking of the line to the home is the owners responsibility and depends on how far they are from right of way and can be anywhere from $5.00 to I $10.00 a foot. First thousand gallons is $16.65 and for each thousand gallons after that $1 .60. (per quarter) Looking at a family of four - about $46.00 for water. Lueder: Asked about hydrants. Hunt: Every 500 feet. Mr. Lueder felt fire protection would be worth something - doesn't mean he's in favor of It. Asked how the length of the bond would be. Luster: Would - have to be advised on what maturity is most marketable at what interest rate. Will have to strike a balance of a reasonable term and a good interest rate. - Jack Moynes - has associated his name with this project so feels compelled to speak. - Does not need the water, has the means to treat and soften water and these are not free. Does see a situation worsening each year, where the average well is becoming unsanitary. The gasoline problem is a seperate problem. He is for this project and willing to pay his share. Feels the problem will get worse and will have to be done eventually and will cost more. Wilt . .._ f . ..1 J' . . .�,'.,:• .i � . . •fin . .- �' '.. . TOWN OF ULYSSES PUBLIC HEARING April 9, 1905 Page 4 certainly help with fire protection, will Increase value of property. He complimented the Board for trying to do something now, rather _ than wait. Would have cost half if done ten years ago and hesitates to think what it will cost ten years from now. Tom Reitz - Jacksonville. Recognizes there are problems with water in area. Thinks the Board has been open-minded about exploring possibility of this and thanked the Village Board for considering this project with the . Town. Suggested having a voting booth in Jacksonville area on April 29. Urges people to get out and vote and to know all the facts. •: Ted Rehner - Understood one reason for meeting was to help the Board decide whether they should go ahead with the proposal and thinks it would help to take a hand vote to give the Board an indication of what they feel. Mr. Rehner asked for a show of hands In favor and then opposed to the basic proposal. He felt 80% were opposed and 20% in favor by show of hands. . Bruce Wilson - outside district. Recognize a duty to people in the community of Jacksonville who have a problem. Doesn't feel a percentage benefit outside the district. Does not feel it's a 50/50 obligation, does not feel his situation will improve with a water district. Feels it is a problem that must be dealt with and is willing to help out but not equally. There is a community spirit and thinks the Board must consider this and the fact that this project is not really going to benefit greatly outside and thus keep the percentage low on the outside. Mr. Luster clarified the percentages, what we are calling a 50/50 split, someone in the district pays ten times as much as someone outside the district. It simply means that 50% of the cost is borne by those outside the district but there is 49 million of assessed valuation out of the district and only 5 million in the district. So at a 50/50 split someone in the district pays ten times more than out of the district with the same assessed valuation. I Russ Hamilton - Perry City Road, outside the district. Sue that if this was to be voted on tonight, it would be defeated. Asked the people present that if they saw twenty houses burn down and knew the families were homeless, how many would contribute to a situation like that? Loves area and people, +. concerned about the people and their problem. If this resolution is defeated he will personally give the first $50.00 to a fund to help these people straighten out their wells. Would probably raise a lot of money. Bill Szabo - Asked Mr. Hunt if his million dollar project is the cheapest way? Is there any other way to fix these fifty wells? Hunt: Certainly some work can be done on existing wells; one concern the Health Dept. has on the whole area and has been urging the Town to take some action on developing a water district, is that these problems tend to grow larger. The option of bringing water from Trumansburg was the least expensive. ° David Kauppenen - asked to have his property taken out of the district and can't and wants to know why not. Luster: The legal procedure set up in the statutes requires a district to be drawn and that all discussion be around a drawn district and that all applications bear relation to a district that has been established on a map that has been published. Anyone who contacted the Board prior to the adoption of the plan on March 26th and said they • wanted out, were accommodated. Mt . Luster, hearing no further comments, went on to say that this is a public hearing to conform to requirements set down by the Department of Housing and Il Urban Development and as part of those requirements, we are obliged to tell Lim public certain things. If this Grant is approved at the level of $400,000.00, of that, $214,400.00 will benefit low to moderate income people as defined by HUD regulations and as established by income survey taken by the Town. The Town must also Inform the public, under the rules, of its plans for minimizing displac- ment as a result of activities assisted with HUD funds. There Is a Displacement Plan drawn up that will be on file and is available tonight. No real problem of displacement can be seen with this project. The Town must also inform the public of the total amount of HUD funds available and that is $400,000.00 for a single purpose grant of this sort. The Town must inform the public of the activities that are eligible for funding; there are four categories of eligible activities under HUD regulations: 1 ) acquisition or disposition of real property, 2) public facility and improvement, 3) rehabilitation and preservation and 4) economic development. The Department of Housing and Urban Development acv TOWN OF ULYSSES PUBLIC HEARING en • April 9, 1985 Page 5 is also requires that a Town adopt a Community Development Plan, which has not yet been adopted by the Town but can be acted upon and will be on file. ! Mr. Luster asked for further comments or questions from the floor. It was asked what happens If you don't get the Grant? Mr. Luster replied • that the project would be over. Olive Marvin - indicated she was against it. • ® Hearing no further comments the public hearing was closed at 8:40 PM. 4 II Paula J.

Vorp, Councilman • Mr. Luster asked for discussion. 'Mr. Vorp indicated he was not in favor of • the 30/70 split and proposed to change it to 20/80. This was made as an Amendment to the Resolution. Carolyn Duddleston seconded. Martin Luster asked for a vote on the Amendment which in two places in the Resolution would change 30% to 20% and 70% to 80% so that 20% of the cost will be borne by the area outside of the proposed benefited area and 80% is borne • by the benefited area. Adopted Amendment: Mr. Weatherby Aye Mr. Vorp Aye • Mrs. Duddleston Aye ill Mr. Lustick Nay Mr. Luster Aye • The Amendment was carried. The main motion, which is the Resolution as amended, is still on the floor. • Mr. Vorp proposed that instead of 40 years bonded, amend it to 25 years. Mr. Luster said the intent of the Resolution is to give the option of up to 40 years. It doesn't require a 40 year bond. Mr. Vorp withdrew his amendment. Mr. Luster spoke in favor of the Resolution as amended. The Board has heard expressions of opposition to plans of the whole, tonight, and he understands those concerns. However, as discussed during the recess, that perhaps 4% of the people affected by this proposal were here tonight at the Public Hearing and he feels the Town Board has a responsibility to pass this Resolution so • • that it can be put to a vote at the Referendum by all the people who will be affected. All reports indicate that in the next twenty years the problems of water will grow. Some steps need to be taken now. To make a project like • this feasible, there needs to be some cost sharing. Only hesitation is whether the people inside the district will be able to handle a 20/80 split. • Carolyn Duddleston questioned what happens if Trumansburg says we are not • going to supply the water? Mr. Luster said at that point the project would be over. The Resolution is contingent upon an agreement with the Village. If this goes to a Referendum and we don't have an agreement by that time, we would have to withdraw the HUD application and the project. Mr. Vorp spoke in favor of the Resolution. He feels all the people should have a vote concerning their destiny A roll call vote was taken as follows: Martin Luster Aye Robert Herrick Nay Carolyn Duddleston Aye Robert Weatherby Aye James Vorp Aye Adopted t TOWN OF ULYSSES irer REGULAR BOARD MEETING April 9, 1985 Page 5 Summer Jobs Program - No action tonight. Planning Board Vacancy - Mr. Luster has received one request for consideration In writing and one oral request which will be followed in writing. Since the second one Is pending, this was tabled as well. NEW BUSINESS • Mr. Luster has been making inquiries as to the cost of hiring an Independent ,- auditor to audit Town books. Has received one estimate that ranges from $1 ,000. to $1 ,300. . We have $1 ,000. In a reserve account for this purpose. Carolyn Duddieston feels we should have more that one estimate. Since there ® are very few auditing firms in Ithaca, Mr. Luster will send out a letter of inquiry to them. in conjunction with the water district resolution, HUD requires that each Town that applies for a grant have a Community Development Plan. Mr. Luster read the Plan as follows: TIM OF ULYSSl'S OOMfNT1Y DEVELOPIINP PLAN The following is the Torn of Ulysses Cameanity Development Plan which has been developed in accordance with the Department of Housing & Urban Development, Camtmity Development Block Grant Program rules and regulations: Cnz•tity development needs can be categorized as housing related and • water system development related. HOUSR'C - The Tan's housing stock is such that a number of units require • rehabilitation. The fact that a timber of families residing in deteriorating units are lea/moderate incase preludes them from making much needed improvements. It is the Town's short and long-term goal to apply for grant finding to offer assistance to low/moderate income families in housing rehabilitation. However, the Tan will not apply for such funding until its number one priority, water system development, is satisfied. PUBLIC WATER SUPPLY - Residences in the hamlet area of Jacksonville in the Town of Ulysses have been experiencing increased incidences of water cantmdnati t recently. Sources of contamination of individual on-lot wells has been traced in one area to a gasoline leak feat a former service station and in other areas from septic tank/leach field oantaminatien. The Jacksonville area is not currently served by either public water or public sewer. The current situation is deemed by the Toaplcins County Health Department as a threat to public health. Accordingly, the short and long-term aamenity development needs of the Thin of Ulysses are public water supply related. The Town's objective is to apply for CDBG funding to contruct a public water supply system in the Jacksonville target area. A copy of the plan is to be on file in the Town Clerk's office. Mr. Luster moved, seconded by Carolyn Duddleston the adoption of the - • Community Development Plan. Mr. Luster Aye Mr. Herrick stained Mr. Weatherby Aye Mrs. Duddleston Abstained Aye Mr. Vorp Aye Adopted To complete the HUD application, they require a Displacement Plan for the Department of Housing and Urban Development.

Community Development Block Grant Program, the Town Board hereby adopts the following procedures: 1 . Approach Taken To Minimize Displacement In the development of applications for funding under the CDBG Program, ' : the Town will make every effort to avoid displacement of people/households. 2. Specific Actions That Will Be Taken To Discourage Displacement Should an activity be recommended to the Town Board that includes displacement of people/households, the Town Board will review such proposed activity and suggest, if possible, alternatives that would minimize or alleviate displacement if at all possible. - 3. Definition of Displacement The Town's definition of displacement is the same as the definition outlined in 570.612 of the regulations as follows: "Displacement means the involuntary movement, except temporary relocation. of a household from a dwelling unit resulting from its acquisition, rehabilitation. or demolition when funded in whole or in part with CDBG funds; or funded with non-COB6 funds where the acquisition, rehabilitation, or demolition is a prerequisite for an activity carried out with CDB6 funds; or if the involuntary movement was necessitated by COB6 assisted code enforcement". 4. Monetary and Nonmonetary Assistance Should displacement be unavoidable, the Town will assist the displaced persons in relocating to the same or similar neighborhood as expeditiously as possible. Monetary assistance will depend upon the structure of the program activity that will result in displacement. However, it will be required that a reasonable sum be earmarked for displacement assistance. A copy of this Plan is to be filed in the Town Clerk's office for public and HUD review. • -- Mr. Luster moved, seconded by Mr. Weatherby the adoption of the I III Displacement Plan.

TOWN OF ULYSSES SPECIAL BOARD MEETING • April 13,1985 Present: Martin Luster, Supervisor; Councllpeople Carolyn Duddleston, James Vorp, Robert Herrick, Robert Weatherby; Paula Mount, Depty. Town Clerk. Other Present: twenty residents. Mr. Luster called the Special Board Meeting to order at 9:30 AM and asked if any of the Board members had any objection to calling this meeting on telephone notice rather than written notice. No objections raised. Mr. Luster stated that after Board action on the water district taken on Tuesday evening, he had received a number of telephone calls and secondly, he started reviewing some of the figures and it seemed the purpose in exploring the possibility of a water district in Jacksonville was to alleviate hardship for the people In that district who are having problems with their wells. In looking • at the figures resulting from the Resolution passed on Tuesday, Mr. Luster Indicated he feels they may very well be creating more hardship than which would be eliminated. The 80-20 split that was voted by the Board results in • an annual payment on a fifty thousant dollar assessment under the most likely • bond arrangement, of $672. , which is a hefty payment for anyone and the calls received are primarily from people in the district worried about the fact that If this Referendum was voted on positively, they would be required to make such large payments. Mr. Luster agrees with these calls. With the 80-20 split, the project is not financially feasible and creates a tremendous economic hardship on the very people the Board sought to assist. Under the law, the only change that can be made in the Resolution would have to be after further public hearings and the only change could be to increase the portion to be paid outside of the Town and Mr. Luster suspects that the concensus of the Town Board, based upon Tuesday's action, and the feeling of the public at the Hearing on Tuesday, is that that is not a very likely outcome. The only other option left at this point is to rescind the Resolution :. passed on Tuesday, which leaves it as an unapproved Resolution and thereby kills the project under any of these proposals. As a practical matter, Mr. Luster cannot see imposing this kind of economic hardship on the people in Jacksonville district under an 80-20 split. Therefore, Mr. Luster moved, seconded by Carolyn Duddleston, the adoption of the following resolution: RESOLVED: that the Town Board of the Town of Ulysses repeal and rescind the Resolution of April 9, 1985 dealing with the Jacksonville Water District. Mr. Luster asked for any discussion. Mr. Herrick asked about legalities of this meeting and the rescinding at this time. Mr. Luster stated he had contacted Elizabeth Bixler, Town Attorney, and a resolution can be repealed any time before the Referendum. Any other action is not possible without having another public hearing and because of the deadline HUD has for filing the application, there isn't adequate time. Mr. Vorp indicated he had heard it should be an 80-20 split or nothing. He doesn't think that if the people in the proposed district can't afford an 80-20 split, they can't afford 100% either. • Mr. Herrick felt he heard an overwhelming nothing from outside residents. He certainly was opposed and heard from a substantial number of people who felt the same. o Mr. Luster indicated his fear is that it is theoretically possible ft (the referendum) could be voted in against the wishes of the people we are seeking to serve. Mr. Vorp Indicated he and the Board had heard some very positive remarks at the initial meeting held in Jacksonville - prior to actual cost being known. The only time actual cost was presented to the public was at the public hearing at • the high school and then the only choice was NO or 80-20. At this time, Mr. Vorp Is in favor of rescinding the whole thing. Hearing no further comments from the Board members, Mr. Luster asked If there were any comments from the public. TOWN OF ULYSSES Egg SPECIAL BOARD MEETING April 13, 1985 Page 2 Tom Reitz indicated he supports rescinding the resolution and suggested some alternatives to consider. Mr. Luster indicated the purpose of putting forward this project was to deter- mine whether or not it was feasible. The general feeling is that It Is not. • The problem is not going to go away and It is still a responsibility of the Town to do something about it in some responsible fashion. Hearing no further comments, a roll call vote was taken by the Depty Clerk. Robert Weatherby Aye Carolyn Duddieston Aye • James Vorp Aye • Robert Herrick Aye • Martin Luster Aye Adopted. Hearing no further business, Mr. Luster moved, seconded by Mr. Vorp to adjourn the Special Board Meeting. Unanimously approved, the meeting was • adjourned at 9:45 AM. Paula J.

Budd Stover,H. William Smith, Planning Board Members; Paula Mount, Secretary. Mr. Reynolds called the meeting of the Planning Board to order at 7:35 PM. In reviewing the minutes of the AprIl 3rd meeting, Mr. Reynolds indicated he still did not have a complete reading on the Environmental Impact Form. He will check with David Zimet to see if the negative declaration has been submitted. Mr. Reynolds moved, seconded by M. Budd Stover, approval of the minutes of April 3rd. Unanimously approved. • Mr. Zimet was not able to attend the meeting and requested that discussion on changes of the Zoning Ordinance be tabled. The Planning Board members decided they would like to discuss the proposed changes. Mr. Reynolds opened discussion of the Proposed Zoning Ordinance of Dish Antennas. The following changes were suggested: 1 . Felt Section 1 and 4 on page 1 needs clarification. 2.Under item 4 on Planned Development District - the bonding issue. Suggested deleting 'bonding' statement. 3. In Item 1 on Planned Development District - delete any 'approximates' and rather than asking for accurate drawings, request 'a scaled dimentionai drawing'. 4.Concerning the Dish Antennas - delete Item A (dimension of dish) and delete item B (already covered as an accessory building of 20'). Delete item C - no bigger than 4' on roof. Dealers advise not installing on roof - chance of happening in Town of Ulysses is remote. Change item D from one week to thirty days. Mr. Stover mentioned that Mr. Zimet received from the Town Board last year, laws regulating Dish Antennas as a structure. If they were put on a permanent base then they had to be zoned. The old zoning ordinance is too stringent and • there are times need to be more flexible. The way it works now, if anything different is requested concerning placement of the antenna, a ZBA has to be held to get a variance. This could be eliminated if the Zoning Officer could approve placement. Further changes were discussed as follows: 1 . Page 7 Article V. Delete 'shall' and insert 'should'. Add 'to be approved by Zoning Officer and manufacturer/dealer'. Delete last sentence. 2. Page 8 Article ViI , Section 6B - Add 'Zoning/Building Permit must be obtained'. There was brief discussion on the sub-division regulations. Mr. Reynolds asked • the Planning Board Members to read and review Section 276 (they have copies) of the State regulations and see how it complies, prior to the next meeting. The next meeting of the Planning Board was scheduled for Wednesday, May 1st at 7:30 PM. The meeting was adjourned at 9:55 PM. Paula .1. Mount Secretary .. TOWN OF ULYSSES ` fr ZONING BOARD OF APPEALS PUBLIC HEARING 7 May 1985 • PURPOSE OF HEARING, to consider application of Margaret M. Rumsey for an area variance under, and interpretation of, Article V (lot area and ' yard regulations) of the Ulysses Zoning Ordinance as it relates to a proposed residence to be built at 1569 - 1573 Taughannock Boulevard, tax map Nos. 18-1-5.1 and 18-1-5,2. • Present at Hearings Board members Joseph Farrell, acting chairman, Adrienne VanDyk, Richard Burling, William Weitzel; absent Merle Stillions, chair- ® man. Also presents Town Attorney Elizabeth Bixler, Town _, Zoning Officer David Simet, BZA secretary A. Beers; Variance applicant Margaret Rumsey, her attorney John C. Barney, Rudy Paolangeli, Callista Paolangeli, Charles WElls, Doris Johns, `' Jospeh Johns, B. M. Siegal, Rachel Siegal, Bruce Wilson, D. H. White, Mrs. N. D. White, Karen Wells, Barbara Boyer, Greta Young, Robert Young. • Mr. Farrell called hearing to order at 7135 p.m. and asked for a roll call of Zoning Board members. He then asked Mrs. Rumsey to state her reasons for the area variance. Mrs. Rumsey recited the history of the property in question as well as adjacent property from the time she and her husband purchased it, the joint property relation- ;, ship with Carman Hill, and her desire to construct a residence on the lake shore frontage of 50 feet. She says she has 5.2 acres of land which includes the 50-foot wide strip foing down to the lake front. It is on the lake front she wishes to construct a house the width of which she says will be no more than 40 feet. The property owner on the north of this strip is Mr. Pallangeli and to the south is Mr. • Johns and Mr. Wells. Mr. Wilson lives further south on the lake front. A stream or ravine runs down the center of this 50-foot wide strip of land. Mrs. Rumsey says she wishes to construct the house over the ravine, with concrete pilings as suggested by an architect. She presented photographs of the plot in question and of neighbor- ing shore property. Mrs. VanDyk ssked what Mrs. Rumsey planned to do with the rest of the lot if she built on the 50-foot lake frontage. Mrs. Rumsey said she had no plans for the rest of the lot. She had said in her prior statement that the Health Department had approved a septic system on the upper portion of the land, .the sewage to be pumped from the lake frontage up to the higher and wider portion. Mr. Farrell then asked for comments from others present at the hearing. Mr. Paolangeli asked about the Zoning Appeals Board hearing of November 7, 1977, in which Mrs. Rumsey and Mr. Hill had asked for an area variance for an addition to a house on property just north of the 50- foot strip of land which they were selling to Mr, McDonald. Copies of minutes of this hearing were distributed, and Mr. Farrell read to the audience that portion of those minutes in which the owners, Mrs. Rumsey and Mr. Hill, said this strip of land "is not suitable for building purposes". Mr. Wells said the land in question has been for sale for many years, and why had Mrs. Rumsey now decided to build on it. She said she had changed her mind. Mr. White reminded her she had thought the site not suitable to build on. . Mr. Paolangeli said he and his wife had purchased the lot north of the 50-foot strip from the McDonalds and plan to expand the size of the house as the McDonalds had planned, and for which the 1977 variance was granted. Asked what the revised Ordi- nance .regulations require for side lot distance to lost lines. Mr. Zimet said 5 feet from the lot line. Mrs. VanDyk asked Mrs. Rumsey what has changed her opinion about the land being unsuitable for construction purposes. Mrs. Rumsey had no direct answer. • • Mr. Paolangeli asked the Board members if they had seen the property in question. Mr. Farrell and Mrs. VanDyk said they had seen the property. Mr. Weitzel and Mr. During said they had not seaiit. Mr. Paulau gels asked Mrs. Humsey about the effect ' Ill of torrential rains causing heavy run-off down the ravine under her proposed home. She said the house would be on concrete pilings. Mr. Wells presented pictures to the Board which he had taken of the ravine and proposed house site. He spoke of the neighborhood, saying all the lake front home owners in the area had purchased land with the idea of having plenty of space between the houses. • Mr. White said construction of the house there would increase the population density. Os BZA-Rummy 7-May 85 p2 4IP' Mr. Wilson said this wan a self-imposed hardship for Mrs. flumeoy, which would obviate the variance request approval. He also spoke on the owner's estimate of the usage value of the 50-foot wide strip as cited in the 1977 BZA minutes. Ho also said the proposed piping of sewage up to the cetio system would cross under the present driveway. Mr. Young, who lives three properties from the property under discussion, said the • proposed house on the 50-foot lake frontage would take away the property values of other residents in the area. Mr. Wilson said with the drive way cutting across Mrs. Rumsey's land the property is then divided into two areas which would make the 50-foot wide strip of lees than the required area. Mr. Barney asked for a definition of lake frontage property. Attorney Bixler read the regulations in the Zoning Ordinance. Mr. Barney believed the driveway met the Ordinance requirements for property frontage - other than the lake frontage. Attorney Bixler said it was her opinion that the road frontage referred to in the Ordinance was to "public" roads. Mr. Wilson said the driveway would not classify as a public road since it is not a Town maintained road. If the drive way would be considered a "public right of way" then the 5.2 acres of land would become two separate parcels of property. Mr. Farrell then asked the Board members to consider a decision on the variance request. After some discussion by Board members he asked the secretary to read the following proposed resolution: under WHEREAS: the applicant, Mrs. Margaret Rumsey, has asked for a variance/and an interpretation of Article II, Section 6, of the Town of Ulysses Zoning • Ordinance for her property at 1569 -1573 Taughannock Boulivard, and WHEREAS: the applioant.has not demonstrated any practical difficulties if the variance is not approved, and WHEREAS: the modification requested fails to observe the spirit of the ordinance and will alter the character of the neighborhood, and WHEREAS; the difficulty can be obviated by building to the est of the roadway (driveway) and • WHEREAS: considering the manner in which the two properties were designed, the interest of justice will not be served by granting the variance, • THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED; that the request be denied. Mrs. VanDyk moved the resolution be adopted, Mr. Durling seconded the motion. Voting as follows: Mrs. VanDyk approve • Mr. Durling . approve Mr. Weitzel approve Mr. Farrell approve motion carried and request denied. The secretary read a message from Mr. Stillions in which he indicated he also disapproved of the granting of the variance, stating as his reasons the same as those in the resolution.

Present: Mark Vann, Paul Harrington, Jeff Vann, Carolyn Duddleston, James Vorp, Martin Luster, Marsha Georgia, Robert Weatherby. Mr. Vann reported that two years ago the Fire Department had invited Towns and Villages in to look over the Fire Station and see the needs of repairs. At that time the Fire Department felt they needed more information before making a decision as to building a new station or remodeling. They hired a firm out of Syracuse to do a feasibility study showing the Fire Department how to make best use of their building. The study showed the existing building to be a basically sound building. The problem with the two plans was the cost (study attached) . The cost being $400,000.00. Since these studies, the Fire Department has met several times with the Village and have come up with their own plan. Mr. Vann stated that the Trumansburg Fire Department is everybodies Fire Depart- ment. The Fire Company spends thousands of volunteer man hours on calls, training, and fund raising projects, which average about $15,000. a year on cost for equipment related expenses. In other words, $15,000. a year is raised through fund raising that could come out of the budget. The Fire Company wants to go over their plan with the Towns that contract for service and get the Towns feelings on remodeling before they take the plan to the public. The remodeling of the present structure would: 1) be an energy savings (lower cost of operation, 2) Maintenance (keep repair to a minimum and upgrade the appearance of fire house) , 3) Provide needed space (to reorganize operation of department in order to accommodate departmental growth and efficiency) . A written report and sketch of new building is attached. Remodeling costs should not exceed $270,000.00. The Fire Company reviewed the approximate cost payment per Town. The Town of Ulysses would have the higher percentage of pay back, due to the larger assess- ment of homes serviced on the fire contract. (Copy attached of the approximate rates) The Fire Company was asked why they didn't just build a new building. Mr. Harrington replied that just maybe you could build for this price, but two problems arise. One, where would you locate and two, what would be done with the existing building? Every aspect has been looked into very thoroughly and remodeling the exisitng structure has come out on top. There is a tentative meeting scheduled for June 11th with all of the Towns. The Fire Company wants the support of all the Towns before going forward. It actually is a Village of Trumansburg decision. A public hearing would be held IP and the Fire Company would like the support of the Towno at thin public hearing. A referendum would be voted on by the Village residents only. The Towns come into the pay-back through their fire contracts. • Mr. Vorp asked if they had a time they want this addition done? The answer was they would like to start soon. Possibly doing new doors first to help with the high cost of maintenance. The rest to follow in the spring. Mr. Luster stated that the Town committment would be a moral committment and not a legal committment. The legal committment would be the fire contract for service. The moral committment would be the support and any help the Town could provide in public hearings. The Fire Company replied that possibly the Towns could make ten year contract committments with the Village for service. In closing, the Town Board members were taken on a tour of the Fire Department building. pm 4 . • •f ; `. ., _ 4', L 1/444 l` yy 6 ..* i. 11 '16 / .. . . ...... y.rEil • • .....�.1 kai i: ' .. . 3i. . t . pu Ili!. , r . .. . . . . , ,, . .. ...... . • , . .. . . . .

SURVEY OF CONDITIONS As indicated in the attached reports prepared by consulting engineers Virgil H.• Fraser, for mechanical-electrical , and Richard St.Germaine for structural , the mechanical-electrical equipment and systems are in fair to good condition, and the • structural-constructional systema are in good condition. PLAN AND FORM STUDIES There is no clear advantage in building an entirely new build- • , ins: the shape and size of the site could not be used to any greater advantage; the structural elements of the present building, including masonry walls, are in good condition; and • the size and shape of the truck areas. would remain similar to the existing, except for overhead door clearances. Essentially, this study has investigated the ways in which the program might be accomodated by a combination of renovation and addition/s to the existing building. A number of possibilities were considered, of which study A and B represent the most logical use of the existing building and - site, Study C is included to illustrate that if the existing building were reused for 6 vehicle bays, with the 7th bay used • for control room and perhaps storage, and all other required spaces accomodated at the rear, to provide a simple rectangular shape, inadequate clearance at the property line results. To • increase the clearance, the building would have to shift to the left , requiring demolition of the 2 end bays (east end) and re- ducing the site to inefficiently usable areas. Study D uses the 3 end bays (east) for all functions other than vehicles and as- sembly, with assembly added at the front. This creates a visual . barrier for vehicles leaving the station, and uses the high space for small rooms which only require 8'-9' heights. • Studies A and B utilize the site area to the rear, leaving the front and east ends unchanged. Study A retains the existing building, converts the 2 end bays (east) to an assembly space, converts the present radio room bay to lobby, control, toilets and coat space, adds 2 truck hays at the west and, and provides space in an addition at the rear for all other requirements. • Study B retains the existing building using all 7 bays for veh- icles (the 7th for repairs and washing) , and accomodates all other spaces in an addition at the rear. While the plan shape for the 2 studies is not intended as a definitive one, it does represent how it could adapt to the irregular site shape , perhaps contrasting a "people" building with a "vehicle" building • • 4 3- ESTIMATE OF PROBABLE COST These estimates are based on material take-offs and unit pric- ing for construction work, and on a combination of unit prices and square foot prices for mechanical-electrical work. Study A 1.New 2 bay truck area $ 68,310. 2.Renovation of existing 134,838. 3.New addition at rear 104,378. 307,526. 15% design contingency 46,128. 353,654. Study B 1 .Renovate existing 106,385. 2.New addition at rear 223,286. 329 ,671 . -.. 15% design contingency 49,450. 379,121 . Considering that study B provides an additional truck bay, the 2 estimates are comparable. Our estimate for comparable square footage in an entirely new building, based on square footage costs , and taking demolition into consideration, would be about $600,000. While these estimates take into account cost escalation to Sep- tember 1985, estimated mid-point of construction based on a May 1985 start , and that the work might be let under a single con- • tract with all work done by sub-contractors, and the likelihood that program and design would undergo change during the design process , even so we want to emphasize the preliminary nature of cost estimating at the feasibility stage. • These costa represent the following suggested materials: Concrete block foundation walls. Exterior cladding of metal on block for the vehicle area. Exterior brick veneer on block for the rear addition. Exposed concrete plank roof for the rear addition. Roofing of single ply or built-up 4 ply tar and gravel. Insulation at roof and exterior walls throughout. Interior walls of exposed concrete block with clear sealer. Floors in addition at rear of exposed concrete with clear sealer, except ceramic tile in toilets New overhead doors to provide 12' top clearance and 14' width. New metal roof deck and roofing in existing building. New trench drainage at each vehicle bay, connected to storm system. • r • 4. Double glazed windows. New kitchen cabinets. • New plumbing fixtures. Sprinkler heads in additions. • Unit heater in added truck bays. New forced-air heating system (cooling optional) with or without radiation in rear addition. • RECOMMENDATIONS • • 1 . The existing building should be retained as the basic el- ement in the "new" building. 2. Studies A and B are variants of the idea of adding at the rear. Study B illustrates the use of the existing building exclusively for vehicles and the control room. Its construc- tion is continuous and appropriate to its use for vehicles. All other needs are accomodated in the rear addition. This makes for a compact building form , which is logical from • the view of costs , energy conservation, and .site utilization (estmated 38 parking spaces vs. 27 in study A, at the west end of the site) . Further, it allows for the design of an • assembly space unhampered by adaptation to an existing space. Parking would be directly related to entry without walking across the entire apron, required by study A. Thus, we recommend consideration of study B in preference to study A. • 3. The canopy and tower have been deleted from the building form studies. However, a different version of the tower to accomodate antennae and identification might very well be part of a new design. We hope that this study will be helpful to the Village and the Fire Company in their consideration of new vs. renovated con- struction and of alternative ways of accomodating additional needs well related to the site. Please let me know if we can be of further service to the Village. S'ncerely, OLE' & Al, AR '�ECTS P.C. • uis Skoler, Pres. Encl. : Consultants' reports.

Present: Martin Luster, Supervisor; Councilpeople Carolyn Duddleston, Robert Herrick, and James Vorp. Others Present: Richard Owlett, James Mason, Tom Reitz, Mark Vann, Bob Snedeker, • Catherine Stover, Mrs. Proctor and Dan Larson. Robert Herrick moved, seconded by James Vorp approval of the minutes of the Special Board Meeting of April 6, 1985; Public Hearing of April 9, 1985 and the Meeting of April 9, 1985. The minutes were approved. Mark Vann reported for the Trumansburg Fire Department (see report attached) . Representative James Mason reported of a meeting to discuss Routes 96 and 13. The Board did approve the preliminary designs for the new jail. Richard Owlett, representative to the Transportation Commission gave a brief report on Route 96 (see report attached) . He has also arranged for the Department of Transportation to come June 11th, prior to the Regular Board Meeting, at 7:30 PM to give a presentation on the different plans for Route 96. Plans for Route 96 were distributed. City of Ithaca has the final say as to whether or not this project takes place. It would not hurt for the Board to take a position. It is still unknown as to when the City will take a position. A special meeting of the Tompkins County Planning Office has been tentatively scheduled for June 18th for all interested agencies to meet with the Department of Transportation. A motion was made by Carolyn Duddleston, seconded by James Vorp to approve Claims number 145-190 totaling $23,706.23. Unanimously approved. The Supervisor's Financial Report was distributed. According to the Budget Status report, some of the insurance categories were underquoted and thus are slightly overdrawn in those accounts. Everything else is on track. OLD BUSINESS: Planning Board vacancy. Mr. Luster distributed to the Boari two letters; one from Richard Garner and the other from Ken Riemer. Mr. Luster entertained a • motion to appoint either of these applicants to the Planning Board position. A motion was made by Robert Herrick, seconded by James Vorp the adoption of the following resolution: BE IT RESOLVED: that the Town Board of the Town of Ulysses appoint Kenneth Riemer to the Ulysses Planning Board to fill the unexpired term created by the resignation of Richard Backer. BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED: that the term expires January 1989, Adopted: Mr. Herrick Aye • Mr. Vorp Aye Mr. Luster Aye Mrs. Duddleston Aye ' IllMr. Vorp asked the Clerk to send a thank you letter to Richard Garner for applying. (copy attached) Mr. Reitz asked if Mr. Riemer could be notified of the Planning Board Meeting j to be held on May 15th at 7:30 PM. Mr. Luster indicated he would call Ken. Summer Youth Program. This came up a couple of months ago and was held back by the County because of a court decision requiring minimum wage to be paid to the kids during the summer. The County has now revamped the program and has re- - presented it to the Town of Ulysses. Youth must now be paid minimum wage of $3.35 per hour. Municipalities may, for this year, Claim 50% or 60% of the .__-_ __..._... ..--_._.___—._.'..-.:._---_-•-_-,-..-..._._.....___-.....__. TOWN OF ULYSSES - REGULAR BOARD MEETING May 14, 1985 Page 2 first $3.35 hour paid to youth. AT 50%, municipalities can claim a maximum of $1.67 an hour times 90 hours maximum for a total per youth of $150.00. At 60%, ;� municipalities may claim $2.00 an hour for a maximum of 90 hours for a total of $180.00 per youth. Everything else remains as in prior years, and our eligibility is $750.00 in reimbursement. This has, in prior years, been funded out of the Contingency Fund to the extent of $1,500.00 and then we have gotten half back. Dan Watson recommended that the UYU would prefer if the Board would request the 60% reimbursement, which would allow for four positions rather than five positions at 50% and his reasoning is that UYU is very busy and he would rather supervise • S four people rather than five. Mr. Luster entertained a motion to advise the • County that we will participate to the extent of $1,500.00 and that means $750.00 reimbursement from the County. Mr. Herrick so moved, seconded by Mr. Vorp. Adopted: Mr. Luster Aye , Mr. Vorp Aye ® • Mr. Herrick Aye Mrs. Duddleston Aye Mr. Vorp asked if Mr. Luster had a list of the jobs Dan Watson has available. Mr. Luster indicated the work sites would be at the Trumansburg Conservatory • of Fine Arts; Ulysses Library; Summer Recreation Program and one unnamed site. • Mr. Luster read a letter from the Tompkins County Jobs Training Program he had just received. This program information was turned over to Mrs. Georgia and Mr. Meeker to discuss and handle. The Board does not need to take action as this program doesn't cost Town of Ulysses anything. NEW BUSINESS: The Town Clerk has received a letter from Gary Evans of the Planning Department. Mr. Luster read the letter (see attached) which concerns election district boundaries. The election law was changed in 1984 requiring election district boundaries to run along a road or other natural, visible boundary. Thus, one line which ran behind houses on Halseyville Road has been moved out to the center line of the road and is the line dividing Districts I and II. The _.. people who were previously on the west side of Halseyville Road were in District II will now be in District I. The net change is 13 individuals. The other change is along the boundary between District II and District IV (Perry City Road from Jacksonville Road to Krums Corners Road and down Krums Corners Road to the lake) . • Some people previously in District IV will now be in District II. The change will . be about 50 people added to District II and reduction in District IV. This law does not take effect until January 1986. The Board of Elections will notify people involved. The County has asked the Town of Ulysses for a resolution adopting the revised boundaries. Mr. Herrick moved, seconded by Mrs. Duddleston the adoption of the following resolution: RESOLVED: that the Town Board of the Town of Ulysses accept the revised . map of the Election District prepared by Garrison Evans, . Senior Planner of the Tompkins County Planning Department. FURTHER RESOLVED: that these changes will now make the Ulysses Election Districts comply with the 1984 Election Law, Section 4-100. Adopted: Mr. Luster Aye Mr. Vorp Aye Mr. Herrick Aye Mrs. Duddleston Aye III Mr. Luster reported that we have received a report from Albany with regard to the State Aid Package for the 85-86 fiscal year. It is a two year funding plan . and the Town of Ulysses will receive in per capita State Aid in 1985, $58,574.00 • (about a 10% increase) and in 1986, $60,405.00. The total increase over two years is 11.21%. In January, the Department of State adopted regulations, among which is a requirement that each municipality that has opted into local enforcement of ' the Uniform Code Regulations is required to enact its own local regulations. The State published minimum standards and guidelines. Any regulations adopted by a municipality can be by Ordinance or Local Law. Mr. Luster prepared Local Law #2 for 1985 which is the minimum we can do to enact local regulations. (see copy attached) . The date for a Public Hearing was set for Tuesday, June 4, 1985 at 7:30 PM. • E OF ULYSSES R REGUGU LAR BOARD MEETING May 14, 1985 Page 3 Mrs. Duddleston had reported that the SPCA was projecting a sizeable increase • in the Town of Ulysses' contract for next year - approximately 39%, which will bring the budget amount to about $9,000.00 compared to $4,000.00 two years ago. \. • Mr. Luster introduced Jim Anasiewicz, Director of the SPCA. Jim stated that a meeting had been held with the liaison people from different Towns and at that time they had discussed potential increases and ways to adjust services to correspond with an adjustment in fees. The SPCA could possibly offer less service for less money paid to the SPCA. In terms of types of services provided in Towns that do not contract with the SPCA, they certainly couldn't compete with people who just pick up stray dogs as their basic service. The SPCA spends a great deal of time talking to owners, interceding in disputes; they do daily • patrols in the Village of Trumansburg; they are on duty seven days a week, answering service is available, they send out reminder letters and do ticketing. What the SPCA would propose is that if a Town opts not to select any or all of the services, the SPCA could cut the fee to the Town correspondingly. The Town of course would )' ® have to be aware that the service would be a minimum service. For example, for X number of dollars the SPCA would provide only pick-up of stray dogs; any additional service would have to be paid for and entered into the contract. If, indeed, the contractual amounts to the Town are prohibitive, then discussion of limiting or cutting back on these services would take place. The Town would have to understand that if people call in for these types of services, the SPCA would have to say we don't do that anymore. • Mr. Luster asked if the SPCA intended to come out with some sort of proposal or Menu. Jim indicated that that was correct. Mr. Luster asked when the SPCA would like to have the contracts in place for next year and Jim indicated the SPCA would have the contract out in June or July. • Mr. Luster asked for options and costs for'each option. He stated that at Mrs. Duddleston's suggestion he had prepared a resolution, which calls upon the State Legislature to return to the municipalities a portion of the revenue that currently goes into the State coffers from license fees and so on. What this resolution proposes to do is to ask State Legislators to support and introduce legislation that would earmark a portion of those dog control fees to come back, in some equitable formula, to the municipalities. Mr. Luster moved, seconded by Mr. Herrick the adoption of the following resolution: WHEREAS, the Town of Ulysses is required by the Agriculture and Markets Law to provide dog control services and WHEREAS, the Town does not maintain its own pound nor appoint its own dog control officer and WHEREAS, the Town has contracted with the Tompkins County Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals to perform the required dog control services • in accordance with law and WHEREAS, the cost of such services has increased from $3,441.00 in 1983 to $6,552.00 in 1985 and WHEREAS, it is anticipated that the cost of such contractual services for the Town in 1986 will exceed $9,000.00, NOW, BE IT RESOLVED: • 1. That the State legislators representing the Town of Ulysses be urges to introduce legislation requiring the return to municipalities in the form of per capita aid earmarked for dng enntrol services of a significant portion of those fees and charges paid to and received by New York State in connection with dog control activities and it is further RESOLVED that a copy of this Resolution be circulated to all municipalities within Tompkins County and that such municipalities be requested to enact similar resolutions and to transmit the same to the appropriate state legislators and it is further RESOLVED that a copy of this Resolution be forwarded to the Tompkins County Municipal Officer's Association with the request that a similar resolution be considered at its next scheduled meeting. Adopted: Mr. Luster Aye Mr. Herrick Aye Mr. Vorp Aye Mrs. Duddleston Aye Discussion was asked for and Jim thought it an excellent resolution, he had heard that the amount of money taken in by the State of New York for dog license fees is way above what they actually spend in enforcing the dog license program. TOWN OF ULYSSES r REGULAR BOARD MEETING May 14, 1985 Page 4 Mrs. Protor asked where the dog money goes? Half goes to the State and the other half remains locally. The only thing, that we know of, is that the State • provides the forms. , Mr. Luster thanked Mrs. Duddleaton for her work as liaison with the SPCA. ' Mr. Vorp asked Jim why there was going to be such a drastic increase and Jim replied there was one basic reason. They are providing an extensive facility, with a staff of 10, two vans that run seven days a week, 24 hours a day and what • has happened is that in 1979 and 1980 (when SPCA started contracting dog control) " license fees remained the same and continued to remain the same until this year; , ' Ill Court fines went vertually uncollected, so for all those years, when the SPCA • was just getting a share of the license fees and almost no fine money, the SPCA's costs continued to increase and they realized that contracts they had with the 1 Town were not only not break-even but it was totally unprofitable for the SPCA and it was decided it would be more profitable to get out of Town dog control 4 •• entirely than to take a loss. The total cost of operating for a year came to $65,000.00 and revenue was $47,000.00 so the SPCA was taking an $18,000.00 loss. They cannot continue to operate under these conditions so those conditions must change. Mr. Luster read a letter received from the State regarding the Eleanor Roosevelt Community Service Award. The letter will be left in the Clerk's office for anyone who might be interested. NYSEG rate increases. There have been a series of regular utility rate increases - and some increased discussion about regulations and how they are controlled. Mr. Luster suggested that the Town of Ulysses might sponsor a forum, which would be , primarily a discussion between a representative from NYSEG and someone who is knowledgable in the area of utility rate regulations to help educate us and the public as to the reason for these increases, what outlook is in the next ten ' years and what can be done to try to keep the lid on this growing economic problem. Mr. Luster asked if there was any objection to hosting this forum? Hearing none, Mr. Luster will see if this can be arranged. Marsha Georgia, Town Clerk reported that for the month of April the total collected was $1,737.75 of which $965.23 was turned over to the Supervisor and $60.00 to the Town of Ithaca. H. William Smith has resigned as representative to the County • Planning Board. As Mr. Meeker was unable to attend, Mrs. Georgia reported that the Clean-Up was finished and was very successful, with over 100 trips made to Spencer with items collected. One problem, the loader was left over night at . the police station and was vandalized. The police did apprenhend the three youngsters involved in the incident. David Zimet, Zoning Officer, reported for April. He covered 372 miles and three building permits were approved. The Clean-Up aided in Mr. Zimet's efforts to have various properties cleaned up and many took advantage of this. He thanked Marsha and Paula for their help in answering calls concerning Zoning - approximately twelve per day. Attended a seminar in Montour Falls. Plans to do more patroling of lake properties. Still waiting to hear from the County Health Department concerning Mr. Auble's trailer park, Alec distributed to the Board a copy of a ' complaint from residents on Rabbit Run Road regarding dumping on Mr. Auble's property. Been sorting files of past several years, and this has been helpful • as information needed is finally being found. The last item reported on was the Town's sign ordinance. Mr. Zimet proposed that the Board authorize him to issue sign permits at no charge through August 1, 1985. This will allow him to • prepare a sign inventory of the Town and to give the area businesses a change to come into compliance, register their signs and give the Town a fresh start. III Mr. Vorp moved, seconded by Mrs. Duddleston the adoption of the following resolution: RESOLVED: that the Town Board of the Town of Ulysses authorize David Zimet, Zoning Officer, to issue sign permits at no charge through August 1, 1985. Adopted: Mr. Luster Aye Mr. Vorp Aye Mr. Herrick Aye Mrs. Duddleston Aye Mr. Luster read Mr. Cartee's report for April. Mr. Vorp asked if we have a contract with Mr. Cartee. Mr. Luster answered that we do not, and with Mr. Herrick's assistance have been working on this. ; TOWN OP ULYSSES lkir ' REGULAR BOARD MEETING May 14, 1985 Page 5 Robert Snedeker, Fire Inspector, reported he had made one inspection. Wrote a letter to EOC and they are trying to get themselves settled. He has about 28 places to inspect now that he has specific information. Mr. Vorp mentioned that the Board had met with the Trumansburg Fire Department on Saturday and went over proposals they have. He appreciated the fine job of their presentation. Mr. Herrick mentioned that Bill Holtkamp of the Cayuga Inn wanted to thank the III Board for their approval of his project. He has run into some snags, thus the job has been put on hold. Mr. Reitz mentioned the vacancy on the County Planning Board. The Town of ULysses Planning Board had discussed this vacancy and recommended that Tom Reitz be appointed. Mr. Vorp moved, seconded by Mr. Herrick the adoption of the following resolution. BE IT RESOLVED: that the Town Board of the Town of Ulysses accept the resignation of H. William Smith as representative to the County Planning Board and, BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED: that the Town Board of the Town of Ulysses appoint Thomas Reitz of the Ulysses Planning Board to - fill this vacancy.

FROM: Richard Owlett, representing Ulysses on the Ithaca-Tompkins County Transportation Commission, and Traffic Safety Board. April 18, 1985 At last night' s meeting of the Transportation Commission, a number of ings were brought up that are of interest to Ulysses residents and members Town government: 1) . NYSDOT will make a public presentation of what they perceive to be the four options regarding a solution to the route 96 ("octopus" ) problem. The presentation is scheduled for April 29, •• at Boynton Jr. High, 7: 30PM. One of the four options, unfortunately, remains to do nothing. Apparently, there will be other present- ations at a later date, but they are as yet unspecified. 2) . It is the understanding of the Tompkins County Planning Depart- ' ment that NYSDOT is willing to make this presentation for any civic or governmental group that requests it. If this is the case, I would make the recommendation that the Ulysses Town Board arrange for NYSDOT to make this presentation either at a regularly sched- uled Board meeting, or at a special meeting. Contact Richard Simberg, Regional Director, NYSDOT Syracuse. 3) . Good news. The Planning Department gave a progress report on TOMTRAN. The results of the first quarter of operation of the Ulysses bus route, are that ridership is at 100% of goal . This assures us that the corvine will continue to be available. Bus runs will be either added, deleted or changed depending on patterns of use, but no changes are planned for the immediate future. The possibility of a Saturday schedule is being considere. but again, not for the immediate future. • Richard Owlett, Commission Chairman • 7 * ,- , /'j a ; 01 OCTOPUS .,f b`�� i i / #111p 2.: g • . \ .

TOWN OF ULYSSES PLANNING BOARD May 15, 1985 Present: Roland Reynolds, Chairman; Tom Reitz, M. Budd Stover, Robert . Bauchie, Ken Werner, Planning Board Members; Marsha Georgia, Secretary. Mr. Reynolds called the meeting of the Planning Board to order at 7:30 PM. Mr. Reynolds welcomed Ken Riemer, the newly appointed Planning Board member to the meeting and brought him up-to-date on the activities of the Planning Board. , Mr. Reynolds explained that the Planning Board is responsible for all sub-divisions. At this time the Board Is working on a set of regulations on sub-divisions. The • . target date being in June, to present the draft regulations to the Town Board for final approval. The Planning Board has to decide how much regulating they desire to do, how tight they want to make the regulations. Mr. Reynolds talked to David Zimet, Zoning Officer, and Mr. Zimet said other municipalities have their regulations set up so that you don't fall under sub- division regulations until they divide into three or more plats. In our draft regulations it is where you divide one. Mr. Reitz had done some checking into this. The question was raised, "that if you have 100 acres and you take one acre off, would you need to file for sub- division?" Mr. Reitz commented that if you go to the letter of the law, state • regulations, yes you would have to file on one division. Towns can pass regulations making the regulation different from the State. • Mr. Reitz reported that the County Clerk does not record sub-division until there are five or more plats. ,. Mr. Reynolds asked if our regulations shouldn't be made possibly to coincide with I the County regulations. Mr. Reitz feels that in part the Town has by sub-dividing them into the Rural, Minor, and Major classifications. After discussion it was decided to make the following changes: • Section 112-Land Subdivision Definition 112.1 - time limit set sub-division of three or more plats done withing a three (3) year time period. Section 112.2 - Rural subdivision: [subdivision of land resulting in three or four lots each of which is three acres or 1 .6 hectares] • Section 112.3 - Minor Subdivisions: [subdivision of land resulting in three or four lots each of which is three acres of 1 .6 hectares] ` Section 202.1 - Rural Land Division: resulting in three or four lots of three acres or 1 .6 hectares or more, etc. Section 202.2 - Minor Subdivision: resulting in three or four lots of less than • three acres or 1 .6 hectares, etc. Section 231 - Delete five copies and add Copies as requested. il Section 232 - #5 - The date, north point, map scale, and the name arid address of all of the owners of record and the subdivider. The Planning Board reviewed and made changes through page 12. Mr. Reitz reported on attending the County Planning Board meeting of May 8th. He submitted the annual report of the Southern Tier Development Board (on file) . Mr. Reitz also announced to the Ulysses Planning Board that on June 11th at 7:30 PM, DOT will hold an open meeting regarding Route 96 and urged the Planning Board members to attend. Mr. Reitz stated that the Ulysses Planning Board should pass a resolution in favor on one of the proposed plans for Route 96 expansion. • • •• .. . .. • I. .. • � . . ,• . .��.

For particular purposes, the Board functions as a multi-jurisdictional unit of local government. Most of the powers of the Board are advisory or delegated in nature. What geographic areas are covered by the Board? The Region serviced is composed of the Counties of Broome, Chenango, Cortland, Delaware, Otsego, Schoharie, Tioga, and Tompkins. Geographically, the Region is very large, encompassing approximately 6209 square miles. While the majority of the Region's population of about 584,425 persons are dispersed in rural areas, it does contain two municipalities (Binghamton City and Town of Union) with populations in excess of 50,000 . in 1980. Within the eight counties composing the Region are 192 municipalities (towns, villages, and cities) . Who is on the Board ? Board membership consists of five voting members from each of the Region's counties. Members are appointed by the respective county • • governing bodies and are drawn from among elected county board officials, the County Planner or Planning Board members, other elected officials, and county residents at large. At least 50% of the Board members are elected officials. Also, based upon population size, one additional voting member from the minority community may be appointed in' Broome, Tompkins, and Otsego counties. The Regional Board meets at least six times annually and Board officers are elected - each February for one-year terms. Many of the Board's activities are discussed and reviewed in depth through STERPDB's Committee structures, which included both standing committees for ongoing tasks and special committees formed for specific purposes. Who finances the Board?The activities undertaken by STERPDB receive financial aid from numerous sources. The Federal government has been the principal source of support; however, some Federal funds are funneled through appropriate state agencies. County monies are used both as "match" for Federal programs and to fund activities otherwise unsupported. As part of the multi-county partnership, time spent by county employees on regional programs is counted as an "in-kind" service in lieu of a local cash contribution. What does the Board do ? In cooperation with the various constituent groups in the Region, the Board performs several general activities which tend to cut across programs rather than be program specific. These activities include the following: - project development assistance - coordination of regional, state, and federal planning and/or development programs - identification of potential program conflicts or duplications of effort - data base development - information exchange - special studies Work highlights from 1984 pertaining to specific STERPDB work programs or activities are presented on the following two pages. • • 2 Work • 4. - . . ., . Highlights . :_ . . . . _ , ..,„, , . _ . _ . . . ..„ . . .. . , . . . . _________________ Area Development strategies are utilized by the Regional Board to assist in the achievement of plans and policies agreed to by the Board's constituency. • Due to its importance as a potential source of local implementation funding, direct com- munity technical assistance time was allocated to the combined 1983-84 HUD Small Cities community development round. During the year, the Hoard co-sponsored a variety of specialized workshops, which . provided local users with additional planning/development tools. These presentations • included a week-long economic development financing course and a series of water quality management workshops. • • Also, 1984 saw the first year of operation of the State Intergovernmental Review System as a replacement for the federal A-95 system. During 1984, 187 federal grant • • requests were submitted to localities for review and comment. A major area development implementation tool for the Board is the Appalachian • RegionalCommission Project Package • This prioritized investment package, developed in conjunction with local sponsors and the N.Y.S. Depart- ment of State, integrates efforts with the private sector to stimulate job creation and retention through projects which upgrade manpower, improve public infrastructure or develop employer supported day care. Since ARC funds are "last resort" in nature, efforts are made to accomplish project objectives by other means. Special attempts were • i made in 1984 to acquaint sponsors with State programs, such as those administered through the Urban Development Corporation and State Education Department. . STERPDB reviewed 15 projects for inclusion in the 1984 package, 7 of which, totalling $1.2 million, are tentatively included in New York State's Group I priority list. In addition, specialized projects for housing and primary health care are anticipated to add • at least another $.3 million to the package. • • Economic Development activities during 1984 emphasized project development, coordination, and special studies and reports. A total of 32 project proposals for Economic Development Administration FY 1984 funding were developed and � . evaluated in accordance with a Regional Board approved rating system. Two of these projects were subsequently funded: The Cortlandville Water System Improvements Project and the Fenton Industrial Sewer Project. Project development for EDA was coordinated with the Region's Appalachian Program. A number of projects submitted to EDA for review were also included in the Region's Annual Project Package for ARC funding consideration. The Region has continued to coordinate its economic development activities with other . development efforts, including the Regional Aviation System Plan, the State Rail Task Force, and, through the Region's Fnnnnmir Advisory rnnmittee, the various Overall Economic Development Program Committees and Industrial Development Agencies in the • Region. Important special studies and reports for 1984 included an Update to the Region's Overall Economic Development Program, and the completion of the 1984 County • Profile Updates for each of the Region's eight counties. The ARC Housing Program is in transition from a site development loan/grant program to a revolving loan fund, offering short term low-interest loans to established housing groups for interim construction costs, purchase/rehab participation, and equity position in small projects. The restructuring of the program should make it better able to meet its original goals of increasing the housing options of low and moderate income rural residents of the Region. With project funding activities stalled, 1 3 . STERPDB's housing-related technical assistance in 1984 focused on providing income ± ' eligibility documentation and Census based needs descriptions for grant applicants and computer assistance to housing groups. • • J W DB's Human Services program during 1984 focused on the develop- ment of projects to meet the objectives of the ARC Finish-Up program. Eligible health Projects are limited to primary care activities in Chenango, Delaware, Schoharie and Tioga Counties; child development activities are restricted to employer-supported child care projects; and education and training projects must be targeted towards upgrading manpower for regional jobs. ARC funding during 1984 has provided assistance for human services projects addres- i • sing primary health care in Chenango and Tioga Counties and basic education designed to upgrade local manpower in Schoharie County. Two additional projects involving primary health care in Delaware County and Employer Supported Child Care in Broome County are • pending ARC approval. In addition, preliminary discussions were held during 1984 . ' regarding the development of a Small Business Technical Assistance project in Delaware County. The project will be submitted to ARC under Resolution 561 - Small Business Assi- stance. The purpose of Resolution 561 is to help small businesses become more competitive, by providing special technical assistance. . • With strong direction bein supplied by its Criminal Justice Advisory Board, the Region's Criminal Justice program continued despite the absence of additional • federal funds for local initiatives. As part of the Region's limited juvenile justice :•v, entitlement funding, an intensive supervision program as an alternative to insti- tutionalization was concluded by the Tioga County Probation Department and approved for continuation by the Tioga Legislature. A similar program which also focuses on homebound detention, was funded for Chenango County. Also, a youth dispute resolution program has been developed for Broome County and is pending funding approval. With the passage of i Alternatives to Incarceration legislation in New York State in 1984, the Advisory Board was able to begin addressing two long-standing issues - alternatives initiatives and county jail inmate classification requirements. These initiatives will continue 1985. The New York Southern Tier Continuing Aviation System Planning Program (CASPP) , completed its first program year during 1984. The Continuing Program consists of various activities designed to provide for the timely updating of the Regional . _ Aviation System Plan (RASP) , which was finalized in 1983. The RASP outlines a Recom- mended Aviation System and Implementation Plan for specific airport improvements over a twenty year planning period. Major activities under the Continuing Program during 1984 . included the incorporation of the Cortland County Airport into the Southern Tier RASP, an analysis of System Plan impacts resulting from the closing of the Delancey-Bishop Air- port in Delaware County, an updated inventucy of Cyatem airports in the Region, and the development of a preliminary project prioritization process and draft priority list for RASP Phase I(1985) airport improvement projects. 1. • Requests to STERPDB for 1980 Census information increased in number and complexity during 1984. As an Affiliate Data Center under the NYS Department of Commerce, STERPDB continues to serve as a resource center for census information and related data. For the 1984 Small Cities competition, STERPDB issued calculations of low and moderate income persons for each municipality in the Region, and separate sub-municipal calculations upon request. The benefits of STERPDB's Data Affiliate status were most apparent in the awarding of $2,048,000 for water systems in rural towns which would not have qualified for program aid without sub-municipal eligibility documentation. /I 4 . i " " . . _ Financial _: Statement .... .. . • . . ‘.

AMMEMMEMEMe TOWN OF ULYSSES PUBLIC HEARING June 4, 1905 Purpose: to hear public account on proposed Local Law #2 - 1985 "Pertaining to Local Regulations for Enforcement of the New York State Uniform ', Fire Prevention and Building Code". Present: Martin Luster, Supervisor, Councilman Robert Herrick, Lew Cartee, ® Building Inspector, Robert Snedeker, Fire Inspector, James Mason, County Representative and Paula Mount, Deputy Clerk. Mr. Luster called the hearing to order at 7:30 P.M. The Legal Notice, published Tuesday, May 21 , 1985, was provided. Mr. Luster reviewed proposed Local Law #2 - 1985 and made some changes. Bob Snedeker, Fire Inspector also indicated where there should be changes - Section 5 paragraph 4. Also Section 8 - add the wording 'penalties pursuant to'. The proposed law will be revised for the June 11 , 1985 meeting. A discussion of Mr. Cartee's contract took place. Mr. Luster commented that as he understands the contract from the Town of Ithaca, what they are proposing is that the Town of Ulysses increase the building fee schedule by 1/3 and that we continue to turn over the entire fees to the Town of Ithaca plus make a seperate deal with Mr. Cartee for, any over- time (any hours beyond 8 hours spent in the Town of Ulysses) . Mr. Luster - asked if. Mr. Cartee was happy with the contract, seeing that it does not mention ' any dollar amount for him. Mr. Cartee left it that he would talk to the Supervisor of the Town of Ithaca because he has not been offered any compensation. Possibly something can be resolved by the Board meeting on June 11th. Hearing no further business, Mr. Luster closed the hearing. Paula J.

I Minutes taken E transcribed by Marsha Georgia Minutes typed by Paula Mount • I III TOWN OF ULYSSES Igir ZONING BOARD OF APPEALS PUBLIC HEARING 6 June 1985 • PURPOSE OF HEARING: to consider application of Augusta Greenwood for an • area variance under Article II, Sec 6, of the Town of • Ulysses Zoning Ordinance for her property at 1602 Trumansburg Road, parcel No. 33-4-332 Present at Hearings BZA chairman Merle Stillions, members Adrienne VanDyk, Richard Burling, Joseph Farrell, secretary A Beers: absents William Weitzel. Also presents applicant August Greenwood. Roll call opened the hearing. Mr. Stillions then asked Mrs. Greenwood to explain why she wished the variance. ® Mrs. Greenwood said the meat market across the highway from her home had become an all-night restaurant and the noise from the traffic and the customers pre vented .. her from getting rest at night since her bedroom is on the side of the house facing the highway. With the variance she would be able to enlarge a room at the back of her house into a bedroom, even though this would make the corner of the • enlarged room only 11 feet from the property line while the Zoning Ordinance requires 15 feet. • Mr. Stillions asked the Board members for any questions and for their opinion. He then asked the secretary to read the letter from Mr. Weitzel, who said he • had seen the property in question and favored granting the variance on the following grounds: • 1. The appellant has amply demonstrated that she faces practical difficulties under the existing circumstances, 2. Although there is insufficient space in the aide yeard to meet the zoning requirements, her house is a considerable distance from the house at 1604 Trumansburg Road and is further separated from it by a row of tall trees, 3. :There will be no increase in population density as a result of the proposed addition to her home, III 4. There will be no change in the character of the neighborhood, nor will any detriment to adjoining properties be created, • 5. There appears to be no other alternative for the applicant to pursue in order to rectify the present situation. • Presenting the above listed items in the form of a resolution Mr. Weitzel then said: In view of the manner in which the present difficulty arose and considering all • the factors mentioned above, I believe that the interests of justice will be served by granting the variance requested. Mr. Stillions seconded, as asked for a vote on the resolution. Voting as follows: Mr. Burling approve Mrs. VanDyk approve Mr. Farrell approve Mr, Stillions approve Resolution adopted. Mrs. Greenwood will be so advised by copy of these minutes. • Hearing adjourned. A. Beers, sec. N r,C TOWN OF ULYSSES TOWN BOARD REGULAR MONTHLY MEETING June 11 , 1985 The meeting was called to order at 8:15 PM by Martin Luster, Supervisor who led those assembled in the Pledge of Allegiance to the Flag of the United States of America. Present: Martin Luster, Supervisor; Councilpeople Robert Herrick, James Vorp, Carolyn Duddleston, Robert Weatherby; Elizabeth Bixler, Attorney; James Meeker, Highway Super- intendent; Marsha Georgia, Town Clerk. ® Others Present: Mr. Larson, Pennysaver; Bob Lodder; Bob Snedeker, Fire Inspector; Dan Watson of UYU;Jon Speich, UYU Rep. ; " • Geri Speich, Freepress; Richard Owlett; Tom Reitz; Catherine Stover; Richard Durling; Don Oliver. • Mr. Luster asked for the approval of the minutes types and distributed. Mrs. Georgia, Town Clerk, advised that the original draft of the minutes dated May 11, 1985, were changed to note the presence of Robert Weatherby, Councilman, and also the removal of Robert Weatherby' s name on the May 14, 1985 minutes. Mr. Herrick moved, seconded by Mrs. Duddleston the approval of the May 11, May 14 and June 4 meetings amended as noted. Unanimously approved. The Trumansburg Fire Departments report was given by Richard Durling (see copy attached) . Representative James Mason was absent. No written report was sub- , mitted. Mr. Luster has spoken with Jeff Vann regarding the special meeting held last month on new proposals for the fire house. Mr. Vann reports that a proposal will be put in writing for the Town' s consideration within a month. An informational public hearing will probably be in a form of a contract with regards to improvements to the fire house and what it is going to cost and how those costs will be distributed among the various municipalities who are part of the fire district. Ellen Haith, on behalf of the Trumansburg Conservatory of Fine Arts, addressed the Town Board. The Conservatory is applying for another grant. Last year the Town Board passed a resolution in support of the Conservatory and Ellen asked if the Board would be so considerate a second time. Mr. Vorp moved, seconded by Mr. Herrick the e'option of the following • resolution: RESOLUTION: Appreciation to Calista Smith and Trumansburg Conservatory of Fine Arts • BE IT RESOLVED: the Town of Ulysses hereby acknowledges its appreciation of and supcft for the Trumansburg Conservatory of Fine Arts, a not-for-profit corporation. 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 Mr. Vorp Aye Mrs. Duddleston Aye Mr. Weatherby Aye Ellen also mentioned that the Conservatory is very excited about another grant they are applying for with the State Arts Council, to bring the elementary school into the Conservatory for various activities TOWN OF ULYSSES ,1 REGULAR MONTHLY MEETING June 11 , 1985 Page 2 and concerts and to take the faculty of the Conservatory into the school as a teaching situation. The Conservatory is a community service organization as well as a school of fine arts. The Supervisor' s Financial Report was distributed. Mr. Luster stated that some budget adjustments will be necessary and these will be ready for the July meeting. Mr. Luster commented that the Town is still trying to get a contract with the Town of Ithaca for a Building Inspector. Mrs. Georgia intervened and stated that Mr. Cartee had notified her office today, by telephone, that he has been offered some financial compensation ® from the Town of Ithaca for his services to the Town of Ulysses for Building Inspector. He is satisfied with this offer, and further stated if the Town Board of the Town of Ulysses is satisfied with the contract, to go ahead and execute same. The contract calls for the Town of Ulysses to pay over to the Town of Ithaca all of its building fees, and in addition an amount equal to 1/3 of the building fees. This would cover Mr. Cartees services in the Town up to eight (8) hours per week. Mr. Luster stated that it doesn't look as though it would ever exceed eight hours, but in the case of anything over eight hours, we the Town, would have to make our own arrangements with Mr. Cartee. It was decided that the Building/Zoning fees will remain the same as printed on the existing form. The additional fees will be taken out of the budgeted amount for Building. Mr. Luster entertained a resolution, moved by Mr. Herrick, seconded by Mr. Vorp the adoption of the following resolution: RESOLVED: that the Town Board of the Town of Ulysses authorize Martin Luster, Supervisor of said Town to execute the contract with the Town of Ithaca for the services of Lewis Cartee, as Building Inspector for the Town of Ulysses. Adopted: Mr. Luster Aye Mr. Herrick Aye Mr. Vorp Aye Mrs. Duddleston Aye Mr. Weatherby Aye Mr. Vorp expressed concern about the fees, and that it may be necessary to look into the fees for next year based on the experience of this year. Mr. Luster commented that he is attempting to set up a discussion "forum" with a representative from NYSEG and a representative from Cornell, Duane Chapman who is an expert on utility rates and regulations. At this time the two gentlemen are deliberating as to what the title of the "forum" should be, what the agenda should be, and who should moderate, and what the ground rules are. Both parties are quite interested, possibly even to make it a county- wide project. Mr. Luster will proceed with the arrangements. ® Under Old Business, Mrs. Duddleston remarked that a couple of years ago a Referendum was voted on to make Receiver of Taxes an appointed position instead of an elected one. Mrs. Duddleston would like it 1 brought up for vote again on the ballot this November. Mr. Luster asked if she had a formal resolution to be voted on. She has nothing in writing. Elizabeth Bixler, Town Attorney, will look into the Lime schedule and the wording of another Referendum. The time limit - may be so that a Special Town Board meeting will be necessary. Marsha Georgia, Town Clerk noted that she would hope a referendum could state that it be a Town Clerk' s duty so that the residents and/or tax payer of the Town of Ulysses would always know that the Town Office of the Town Clerk is the place for all Town business and the place to research all Town records. A Public Hearing was held on June 4, 1985 for proposed Local Law #2 - 1985. Mr. Luster reviewed Local Law #2 - 1985 and asked for a motion to approve. Mr. Herrick moved, seconded by Mrs. Duddleston TOWN OF ULYSSES . . .

Prior to this Regular Meeting, the public and the Town Board listened to a presentation from the New York State DOT regarding the Route 96 alternatives. Mr. Luster asked the Board' s pleasure as far as action. Mr. Vorp replied he was ready to take a stand and also Mr. Herrick • expressed his desire to take a stand and recommend alternative C, that being Mr. Vorp' s recommendation also. Mr. Owlett, Representative from the Town of Ulysses to the County Transportation Board also personally recommended alternative C. He stated he has not yet, nor has the County Transportation Board • taken a formal stand. No one knows how these alternatives trans- lated into dollars are for the tax payers. He believes it is coming out of a State pool so that it gets distributed throughout the State. Mr. Owlett strongly recommends that a Certified copy of any Resolution along with a cover letter, gets forwarded to the State agencies, city, ( ,,, . t .. .. ?:. - , , TOWN OF ULYSSES x,47 REGULAR MONTHLY MEETING i, June 11 , 1985 • Page 5 and County and one for himself to present to his Board. Mr. Herrick stated that he wants to see in the Board' s resolution more influence on the safety consideration here with alternative C. He feels this shouldn' t be mentioned casually. We must do something before there is some serious loss of life. The area has been lucky in the past. He feels Cliff Street is a death trap, that most communities not even as enlightened as Ithaca, have long past taken ® care of problems such as that. We still travel on a road that was probably inadequate for the most part in the 1930 ' s and 40 ' s and is • certainly inadequate for the heavy traffic it handles in the 80 ' s . Mr. Herrick feels the Board should speak strongly for that concern as much so as convenience. Mr. Herrick further stated he was not concerned with two or three minutes lost or gained but is vastly concerned with lives lost. Mr. Vorp echoed Mr. Herrick' s concern and feels that incorporated into the Board' s resolution should state the safety aspect. Also the impact of the overpass of the railroad and also to relieve the congestion at the octopus when emergency vehicles have to pass through there. A run-away strip for trucks out of control would be another critical point. Mr. Herrick voiced that whatever they do is going to last for a . long time, and if it is going to be done and have the disruption and cost, is to take care of the several concerns. Convenience • or inconvenience is just that, it is not life threatening. Mr. Vorp moved, seconded by Mr. Herrick the adoption of the following resolution: RESOLVED: that the Town Board of the Town of Ulysses recommend and strongly urges the adoption of Alternate C with particular attention to S inclusion of all possible safety features, including truck run-away zones and railroad overpasses. Adopted: Mr. Herrick Aye ti Mr. Vorp Aye Mrs. Duddleston Aye Mr. Weatherby Aye Mr. Luster Abstained Mr. Luster abstained because he feels that there may be alternatives D,E,F or more before the final vote. He does feel it appropriate to voice an opinion. Mr. Luster referred to a copy of a letter he had written to Dan • Watson of UYU, regarding some financial difficulties they were undergoing. Mr. Watson of UYU and Jon Speich, liaison for the Town of Ulysses to UYU attended the meeting to address the matter. Also in regard to Summer Recreation Programs, in the past there has been some confusion as to how much the Village pays, Jacksonville Community Association, the Town and just what we are getting for our money. Mr. Luster has contacted Mr. Tom Major and suggested to III him that he and Car Jordan sit down at a Special Meeting so that the Town can review the Summer Recreation Programs. Also possibly meeting with the Village so perhaps really coming up with a joint i resolution for a joint program. Mr. Luster called upon Dan Watson to speak on behalf of UYU. Dan Watson read his report and plans for the future (copy attached) . _ Jon Speich, newly appointed liaison for the Town of Ulysses to Ulysses Youth Unlimited, reported that much energy has been spent recently in taking a look at the problems that UYU are having and they have come up with some positive solutions. At the last Board meeting in May this emergency plan was developed. Jon, along with - Susan Perkins, has met with the Ulysses Community Council and had gone over their plans for the future. At that time the Council felt secure with their plans and the amount of money that UYU receives from them will be granted the same as last year. TOWN OF MONTHLY REGULAR REGULAR R MONTHLY MEETING June 11 , 1985 Page 6 Mr. Luster thanked both Dan Watson and Jon Speich for their reports. Mr. Luster recalled the request for payment received by UYU for the total amount budgeted. At that time of request, the Town Board passed only to pay one quarter (1/4) of the vouchered amount. Mr. Luster stated he would be willing to advance another part of that voucher now to help the cash flow of UYU. Mr. Luster moved, seconded by Mr. Vorp the adoption of the following resolution: RESOLVED: that the Town Board of the Town of Ulysses approve an additional $1,000. against the previously submitted voucher to be paid to Ulysses Youth Unlimited. Adopted: Mr. Luster Aye Mr. Herrick Aye Mr. Vorp Aye Mrs. Duddleston Aye Mr. Weatherby Aye Mrs. Georgia, Town Clerk, reported the total fees collected for the month of May were $1, 064. 50 of which $572. 22 was turned over to Martin Luster, Supervisor. Election Inspectors and Alternates that needed to attend, have been to school and their vouchers are included tonight for approval. Also our new Custodian of the Voting Machines needs to attend school. The cost is $80. 00 plus mileage and room and board. Mr. Luster moved, seconded by Mr. Herrick the adoption of the following resolution: RESOLVED: that the Town Board of the Town of Ulysses authc-,'_ca Keith Northrup, Election Custodian to attend school at Jamestown, NY for the necessary training on the voting machines. BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED: that the Town pay the $80. 00 for the training and also cover any and all necessary expenses incurred. Adopted: Mr. Luster Aye Mr. Herrick Aye Mr. Vorp Aye Mrs. Duddleston Aye Mr. Weatherby Aye Mrs. Georgia is also in receipt of a listing of several different Previous Maintenance Programs for the voting machines. Mr. Luster stated it is provided in the budget for service to our machines and feels we should procure within the budgeted amount. Mrs. Georgia will forward the information on to the custodians. Mrs. Georgia read reports from David Zimet, Zoning Officer and Lewis Cartee, Building Inspector. Copies are attached. Robert Snedeker, Fire Inspector, reported things are fairly quiet. Although after the Public Hearing on Local Law #2 he has received • a couple of calls for inspections. James Meeker submitted his monthly Highway report (attached) . He has just completed and attended Highway Superintendents School at Cornell. He felt the courses were fairly decent. He is in the process of setting up with the County Highway a welding technique program. He looked into the yearly maintenance charge on the barns fire alarm system. Time and material he thought may be a better way for maintenance other than the yearly maintenance charge of $250. After finding out their hourly rate is $67 . 00 starting from the time they leave Endicott to completion, that the $250. 00 yearly charge would probably be the more economical way to go. Elizabeth Bixler, Town Attorney, reported on a lawsuit in prepar- ation against Bill Aublo to get a permanent injunction against is • TOWN OF ULYSSES REGULAR LAR MONTHLY MEETING June 11 , 1985 li Page 7 dumping and also to get an order to remove the items dumped already. A restraint has also been served on William Auble and Wilmont Auble to stop any further dumping. Mr. Luster reminded, that the lawsuit was prompted by a petition of residents on Rabbit Run Road complaining about the condition. Mr. Herrick excused himself. The Board examined the vouchers. Mr. Vorp moved, seconded by Mr. Weatherby the adoption of the following resolution: RESOLVED: that the Town Board approved the vouchers pre- viously examined, numbers 191 through 234 in the ® amount of $7 ,127. 13. Adopted: Mr. Luster Aye Mr. Vorp Aye Mr. Weatherby Aye Mrs. Duddleston Aye Hearing no further business, the meeting was moved to be adjourned. Unanimously agreed, the meeting adjourned at 9: 55 P.M.

Bow about just one place where any youth from the town of Ulysses is welcome five days a week for • fun and friendships, developing confidence and self- esteem, and help with school and parents . . . all under supervision that is authoritative without being authoritarian? Now in its second decade of commitment to youth , Ulysses Youth Unlimited is that place - and its staff , board, volunteers and teens invite you to see firsthand what U.Y.U. is up to these days at our open house on July 19, 1985, 6 to 9 p .m. at the Presbyterian cinapel , Main Street , .Trumaneburg. Adolescence has its unique problems , to be sure, and problems can take many forms . Feeling incompetent , whether real or imagined , is one; being very bright , as many of our high school students are , can bring its own troubles (some of us might even remember either one or both of these . predicaments ! ) . But under- " lying all the turmoil and confusion of youth is the constant changing, growing, and coming to gripe with responsibility for oneself : challenges that differ from our own more in degree than form. Just ao we learn to cope and belong by creating connections with one another, teens at U.Y.U. draw strength , reassurance, and satisfaction from involvement that matters in each other' s lives . In making these connections, adults and youth alike come to realize that is is possible not only to receive help , but to give help as well . Nothing changes because wo went it to, but establishing and maintaining communities of support does make a difference . Community is the key, and it is the link between a person's sense of self and coming to terms with the values and structure of society as a whole . It 's also a two-way street. We would value your participation as a concerned professional and look forward to shoving you what U.Y.U. has accomplished. You'll Blau have the opg.rt"nity to talk to the people, at U,Y,U,. and other human service professionals in the area. We are proud of Ulysses' youth , and believe that they deserve all the support we can give them.

Page 25 Section 281 , #2: delete the sentence "Town will run ditches. " Page 26 Delete entire contents of #5, sketch and #7. Renumber Item #6 to 5 to read: Crown on road: 2 percent grade; right of way: 15m/50 feet min. ; total pavement: 6m/20 feet min. ; shoulder: 2m/6 feet min. ; total gravel depth: minimum of 6 inches. Add statement to follow: The Highway Superintendent will be responsible for specifications, to be approved on site. Minimum requirement is 6 inches of compacted gravel. II A lengthy discussion took place regarding this area. Mr. Meeker' s recommendations were based on the CHIPS Program, which he deals with. The specs as now written would be impossible to comply with-- , the expense would be too great and would discourage any development. • Mr. Reulein thinks the Town should just establish some guidelines to help people and not scare them away from the Township. Mr. Reynolds asked if the ACCEPTANCE at the bottom of page 26 was OK. Discussion ensued. General concensus was to have the established road there and guaranteed for a period of time before the Town accepts •. it. Since most businesses will guarantee their materials for a year, it would be one year before acceptance by the Board. Will need to check legalities with Elizabeth Bixler, Town Attorney. Mr. Meeker will also check with other Towns to see what they do. Mr. Reynolds said he feels this section needs more but will have to check on it. • Page 27 Section 282 Street Layout . SS 282. 1 Delete sentence "The arrangements of streets shall be such as to " • All of the other items on page 27 and the following diagrams for street layouts is unnecessary. It was brought up that all of these road regulations and requirements could be simplified to two or three pages. Seems that as they are now, they would apply to a much larger area - it is just to fancy for the Town of Ulysses. David Zimet, Zoning Officer, spoke in favor of simplification and •• others agreed. No une likes all the rules and regulations. Mr. - Reynolds would rather start from square one and simplify the regulations and perhaps keep the others as a back-up as needed for explanation. Mr. Meeker offered to write a couple of pages that could be incor- - porated into the Town of Ulysses regulations, pertaining to roads. Concensus of opinion was to have a one or two page working plan to give to interested people who are planning a sub-division. The TOWN OF ULYSSES PLANNING BOARD �� June 19, 1985 . Page 2 other regulations could be used as reference material, when and if necessary. Mr. Reynolds stated that they have been working on this for so long _ and not really getting very far because it is so long and drawn out. David Zimet may have the key to this--instead of writing all this down, which is a statement out of the State Law which is already there (as reference) , write down particular things to avoid and deal with them. • Mr. Reynolds doesn' t want to put anything through that no one is comfortable with; they need to deal with items pertinent to this area, not a large city. ® Mr. Zimet will ask Lou Cartee to bring up copies of the Town of Ithaca sub-division regulations and they will be sent to all members . of the Town of Ulysses Planning Board to review prior to the next . meeting. Mr. Zimet also stated that in his opinion, the Planning Board should continue going through and editing these sub-division regulations-- they can be useful as reference. Mr. Reynolds agreed, and commented that it' s just not a good working document for the Town of Ulysses. Mr. Reynolds asked Jim Meeker how much pertaining to roads was useful and Jim replied about 25%. Jim again offered to write down what he feels necessary from a Highway Department aspect and can probably cover fifteen pages with a couple of pages. He will do so and turn it over to the Planning Board prior to their next meeting. Most of this is designed for a 50-100 unit sub-division. Mr. Reynolds proposed that the Planning Board start over again and draw up something that is simplier and work from that. He asked that everyone jot down an outline, comparing the copy that is being presently revised and the Town of Ithaca regulations. That should give them something to work on at the July meeting. There was some discussion concerning division of properties and land-locked parcels. This is an area that needs some thought. Mr. Reynolds asked for additional comments, and hearing none, the meeting was adjourned at 9:30 PM. The next Planning Board meeting will be held on July 17th at 7 : 30 PM. Respectfully submitted, Paula J. Mount, Secretary • PJM . ., A VI: TOWN OF ULYSSES SPECIAL MEETING • June 25, 1985 PRESENT: Carolyn Duddleston, Martin Luster, Robert Herrick, Robert Weatherby, Marsha Georgia, Paula Mount, James Meeker and John Hubbard. PURPOSE: To discuss maintenance on the Town Hall and Town Barns. The Special Meeting of the Ulysses Town Board was called to order by • S Martin Luster, Supervisor at 6: 30 PM. Mr. John Hubbard was introduced. Mr. Hubbard had evaluated the heating and cooling needs of the Town Hall and made his presentation. According to Mr. Hubbard, it would cost approximately $2, 000. to replace the existing heating unit, using the same duct work, and installing a more efficient unit. Concerning the air-conditioning: the present unit cannot be used--it is undersized for the job needed and the duct work is poor. It would be very costly to install a new cooling unit and duct work as the ducts should be placed overhead, which would necessitate removing ceilings, insulation, installing duct work and replacing the ceilings, etc. Mr. Hubbard recommended the most efficient way to cool the Town Hall would be with individual SANYO ductless units. These • could be installed as needed and would be quiet, efficient, and most cost effective. Mr. Hubbard also recommended the removal and insulation of the panels in the front of the building. Also the replacement and removal of some of the side window panels. There is a great deal of heat loss from these areas, and they also give off a great deal of heat in the summer. Mr. Hubbard distributed information on the SANYO air conditioning units and the BARD furnace (see attached) . Those present also discussed the plumbing in the Town Hall bathrooms, the electrical wiring in the Town Hall and the Town Barns, the Salt Shed, plaster in the Court Room and painting the Town Barns. Mr. Luster indicated that he would prepare a Resolution concerning the maintenance of the Town Hall and Town Barns to be presented to the Board at their next meeting to be held on July 9, 1985. In other business: Mr. Luster motioned, seconded by Mr. Herrick the approval of payment on the new pick-up truck received by James Meeker, to Maguire Ford in the amount of $13, 565. 00. Approved: Mr. Luster Aye Mrs. Duddleston Aye Mr. Herrick Aye Mr. Weatherby Aye Hearing no further business, the meeting was adjourned at 7 : 45 PM. Marsha L. Georgia Town Clerk • Pm J,' x r . .

Tom Reitz, Bill Savey, Ed Brown, Mark Vann, M. Larsen- . Pennysaver, Geri Speich-Free Press, Katherine Stover, ' ® Dick Durling, James Mason. Martin Luster, Supervisor, called the Regular Monthly Meeting of the Ulysses Town Board to order at 8: 00 PM and led those assembled in the Pledge of Allegiance to the Flag of the United States of America. Motion by Mr. Herrick, seconded by Mr. Vorp to approve the minutes of the Regular Meeting of June 11 and the Special Meeting of June 25 as distributed. Unanimously approved. Mark Vann reported on the Fire Department activity (see report attached) . • Rep. James Mason reported on the Board of Representatives meeting held July 8th. The County Charter was amended to eliminate the position of Health Commissioner and create a Public Health Director and a Medical Director. The present Commissioner is resigning this summer. By revamping the department the Public Health Director will be the Business Manager and a part-time Medical Director will be hired. It was felt a full-time Medical Director was not necessary and the salary offered didn' t attract physicians. It will result in some immediate savings. Another change was the description of the County Seal. The County ® Clerk pointed out that the Seal did not match the description that was written in the Town Code, so the Board redescribed the Seal. A reclassification study was also approved at the Sheriff' s Dept. This is the first time that an entire County Department has gone through a reclassification study. It took almost a year to complete and was accomplished without penalizing any of the existing employees. Mr. Luster entertained a motion to approve Claims #235-PA268 in the amount of $18 , 251. 55. Moved by Carolyn Duddleston, seconded by Robert Herrick. Unanimously approved. Mr. Luster distributed to the Board the full half-year financial i report which included a cash flow statement, consolidated statement, trial balance as of June 30th and a budget status report as of June 30th. A few minor adjustment need to be made, otherwise everything seems to be right on line. In the Dog Control area, where we anticipated receiving a total of $550. 00 in fines and penalties, we have already received $470. 00 of that; also in license fees we have received $1 ,700. 00 and only anticipated $1, 300. 00 for the year. OLD BUSINESS IIIMr. Luster stated he had planned to have Tom Major and Carl Jordan attend the meeting to talk about the Summer Youth Recreation Program, I but since this could not be arranged, they will be asked to attend in August. Mr. Luster indicated he had some bad news to report concerning the water in Jacksonville. For the first time, there has been gasoline reported in a well on the West side of Route 96. The State is coming down tomorrow to look at the situation. This is from a family trying to sell their house on the Jacksonville Road. Based on the fact that the State is now getting involved again, Mr. Luster spoke with Bob Hunt, Hunt Engineers. Mr. Hunt was ill thus unable to attend tonight, but will be asked to attend the August meeting to talk about alternate plans; reduced type plans, limited plans, to handle the immediate situation for the homes that are directly TOWN OF ULYSSES REGULAR MONTHLY MEETING July 9 , 1985 Page 2 involved. Mr. Luster doesn' t feel that this is something we can ' sweep under the rug' , it' s not going away, it' s getting worse. Another troublesome matter is the publicity surrounding the Jack- sonville water district and the water quality problems there, these have caused a bit of a local depression in the resale market in Jacksonville. There is some money to cover Bob Hunt for at least some initial conversations and some suggestions for direction of a limited solution. Some discussion followed. Any ideas should be jotted down and can be discussed with Bob Hunt at the next meeting. The following budget adjustments were made: Insurance Account A1910. 4 [most seriously overdrawn account, no explanation, budget was based on estimates given to us by Joe Farrell and when the bills came in they were substantially higher which raises the question again, from last year, do we want to advertise for bids for insurance for next year? We have time to decide, but meanwhile must straighten out this account. ] Mr. Herrick suggested that we have Joe Farrell come in and discuss the insurance coverage with us. This acct. needs $1630. 00. Municipal Dues A1920. 4 overdrawn by $35. 00 Workers Comp. A1940. 8 overdrawn by $180. 00 Disability A9055. 8 overdrawn by $75. 00 Mr. Luster moved, seconded by Carolyn Duddleston, that the total sum of $1, 920. 00 be appropriated and distributed as indicated above, these funds will come from the unappropriated reserve from the General Fund. Approved: Mr. Luster Aye Mrs. Duddleston Aye Mr. Herrick Aye Mr. Weatherby Aye Mr. Vorp Aye Garbage B8160. 1 overdrawn by $335. 00 Mr. Luster moved, seconded by Mr. Vorp to appropriate the above sum to be paid to be financed from the unappropriated reserve Part Town Fund of $100. 39 and from Part Town Contingency Fund of $234. 61. Approved: Mr. Luster Aye Mrs. Duddleston Aye Mr. Herrick Aye Mr. Weatherby Aye Mr. Vorp Aye Disability DA9055. 8 [not overdrawn at this moment, but a bill is in the works] $85. 00 Highway Part Town Fund DB9055. 8 $45. 00 to come from unappropriated surplus. Mr. Luster moved, seconded by Mr. Vorp. • Approved: Mr. Luster Aye Mrs. Duddleston Aye Mr. Herrick Aye Mr. Weatherby Aye Mr. Vorp Aye These adjustments put the budget back into balance with no overdrawn account. A similar adjustment will be done at the end of the year. NEW BUSINESS Election Machine Maintenance - had budgeted $90. 00 per machine based upon a quote from last year, for four machines. The cost is now $150. 00 per machine but it has been suggested that we service three older machines, which need it. Mr. Luster moved that he be authorized to execute a contract with 1 jp 4, 1 TOWN OF ULYSSES REGULAR MONTHLY MEETING July 9, 1985 Page 3 It ` Sequoia Pacific Systems, Corporation to expend $150. 00 per machine for three (3) machines for an overhaul and maintenance. 1 Mr. Vorp seconded the motion. Approved: Mr. Luster Aye . Mrs. Duddleston Aye Mr. Herrick Aye i : Mr. Weatherby Aye • Mr. Vorp Aye Correspondence received by Mr. Luster from the Tompkins County Fire and EMS Service and it requests that we contact our State Legislators •. urging them to act favorably upon a request for $150, 000. 00 for a Tompkins County Emergency Control Center. Mr. Luster asked James Mason to speak concerning this issue. Mr. Mason supports this measure; it involves computer dispatches and a central data bank for all emergency services. The draw-back is the initial cost, but once in place it is not costly to maintain or operate. Mr. Luster said he would be happy to draft a letter expressing the Board' s wishes and urging the appropriation of this sum of money for that purpose. Discussion ensued in favor of this measure. Mr. Luster motioned, seconded by Mr. Weatherby the adoption of the following resolution: RESOLVED: that Martin Luster, Supervisor of the Town of Ulysses send letters of support in favor of a request for $150, 000. 00 from the Tompkins County Fire and EMS Service to fund the Tompkins County Emergency Control Center. • Adopted: Mr. Luster Aye Mrs. Duddleston Aye Mr. Herrick Aye Mr. Weatherby Aye . Mr. Vorp Aye The next item deals with a Special Meeting the Board held on June 25 to discuss the deteriorating state of our physical plant. This involved both the Town Hall and the Town Barns. The most important items are listed in the following proposed resolution. RESOLVED: that the Building Chairman solicit proposals from reputable contractors for (1) replacement of existing Town Hall furnace; (2) purchase and installation of through-the-wall air condi- tioning units for the Town Hall; (3) replacement of defective wiring in Town Hall and Town Barn; (4) repair of rotten sill in Clerk' s Office; (5) enclosure of front panels in Town Hall BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED: that said chairman report to the Board at it' s August, 1985 meeting for action - at that time. . The Board did have a discussion with a contractor that night to III get some ideas of cost, etc. and was the feeling of the Board that the furnace in the Town Hall has seen its last winter. The cost to replace it is below the bid amount. Along with that, the present air-conditioning system is not usable. Central Air would be very ® costly and through-the-wall units were suggested. Seven were recommended, but too expensive to do all at one time, but can get prices and do it slowly. Mr . Weatherby is the Chairman of the Building Maintenance. Mr. Luster asked that the above Resolution be moved and approved so we can get started on this immediately. Mr. Herrick moved, seconded by Mrs. Duddleston to adopt the above Resolution.

Mr. Luster read Lew Cartee' s report (see attached) . James Mason asked what the possibilities were of getting the speed • limit on Pennsylvania Avenue reduced to 30mph and extend it to • where the Village line is. Mr. Meeker explained that half of the • road is Town and half is Village. Mr. Mason asked the Village and • • they do not agree with this. Discussion took place and Mr. Luster will contact Mayor Mann and discuss this issue. • Mr. Savey brought up the issue of the Fireworks Convention in August-it had been questioned at the last Village Board meeting. • Mr. Luster said that the Town of Ulysses Board had granted a fireworks permit and had invited the Village Board to a meeting when Mr. Hill, the representative from the Pyrotechnic Guild Inter- national, addressed the Town Board and noone from the Village came. The Town of Ulysses function was complete-the PGI was to work directly with the Fire Department. Mr. Rodabaugh was assigned by The Village Board to investigate. The Fire Department and Village Police concerns were voiced, no parking, etc. Mr. Luster stated that with the approval of the Board, he will write Mr. Hill of P.G.I. and remind him of his obligations under ® the permit and express concern that there has apparently been no • follow-up on crowd control and safety aspects. Our alternative is to revoke the permit if we are not convinced that he [Mr. Hill] is going to abide by it. Mr. Vorp asked if the Town is responsible for contacting the Fire Department, etc. and Mr. Luster responded that we shouldn't have to--many rules and regulations had to be followed prior to approval of the permit and P.G. I. assumed that responsibility. • It was suggested Mr. Luster call P.G. I. rather than write. He • will contact Mr. Hill immediately. Hearing no further business, Mr. Vorp motioned to adjourn the • meeting. Unanimously approved. Meeting adjourned at 9: 00 PM. • Paula J.

Present: Martin Luster, Supervisor; Councilpeople Robert Herrick, Carolyn • Duddleston, Robert Weatherby; Marsha Georgia, Town Clerk. Others Present: Charles Hill, Pyrotechnics Guild International, Inc. ; Tom Reitz, ® Robert Loeffler, Richard Owlett, Carl Mann-Mayor of Trumansburg, Denny Millspaugh, Tom Bennett, Tom Ferrittl, Joe Farrell, Fred Yahn- Ithaca Journal, Doug Duddleston, Jack Harding, Richard Durling, Jeff Vann, Geri Speich-Free Press, Deputy Sheriff Dawson. ® Mr. Luster stated the purpose of this meeting was to give final consideration to the request of the Pyrotechnics Guild international for a fireworks permit. Last October the Town Board resolved to grant a permit on certain conditions and a couple of questions have arisen and some concern has arisen. Mr. Charles Hill is here, who is the gentleman who on behalf of the Guild, has the dubious honor of trying to put together this convention. Mr. Luster started with a couple of questions for Mr. Hill to answer. He also indicated a number of people were invited who have concerns with the fireworks display: Joe Farrell who is her both in the capacity of having some representation for the Fair Grounds Association as well as being the insurance .agent for the Town; representatives of the Fire Department (Richard Durling & Jeff Vann); and Tom Ferritti the Village Police Chief. One of the questions that arose, we were supplied with an insurance certificate ' with a limit of $500,000.00 liability insurance. Originally the certificate did not . • name the Town of Ulysses [ I understand that's been taken care of. ] The other problem was that when the Town resolved to grant a fireworks permit last October, one of the conditions was that the limits of the policy would be $500,000.00 per incident up to a maximum of one million dollars. The certificate that was delivered • to us indicates that there is a limit of $500,000.00 and speaking to Charles Hill about this over the last couple of days and also to Joe Farrell that if there was a ' I claim against the Town as a result of any accident that may occur, and that the claim exceeds $500,000.00 that the Towns existing liability policy would pick up the excess. Mr. Farrell stated that indeed it would, that he is representing the Fair Grounds Association and the Town of Ulysses not the Guild, and Mr. Hill understands that. Mr. Luster asked Mr. Hill that he understood he [Mr. Hill] was going to investigate the possibility of getting coverage up to a million dollars and asked what the results were. Mr. Hill responded negatory. It took him considerable time to get the policy here; they don't even write the policy that was mentioned there any more. There is only one underwriter and that's Balboa, that's the one who wrote this insurance. , ' To go to a million, for one thing it would put us out of business and we are too late now to go through the whole process again. Mr. Luster indicated he was under the impression that Mr. Hill sponsored or conducted the fireworks display for the Chamber of Commerce earlier this summer and that there was a million dollars in effect then. Mr. Hill doesn't believe that is true, he doesn't have a copy of that policy. • Mr. Durling stated that he thinks that in order to have any function on State property in the State of New York you are required to have a million. Mr. Owlett staled they were covered for a million but it was through Young Explosives and ® Mr. Hill was working for Young Explosives in that case. Young Explosives actually had a million dollar coverage on it. Mr. Hill stated you have to realize this is a one shot deal we have with Allied. Young must contract with Allied for X amount of $'s per year--that's their requirement and It is very possible that Young had the option to write a million dollars when they started at the beginning of the year, but for our purposes this is what we could do. Mr. Luster added that he didn't mean to slight Carl Mann, Mayor of Trumansburg when previously introducing others. • � • " TOWN OF ULYSSES 1 et, SPECIAL BOARD MEETING 31 July 1985 Page 2 • Mr. Farrell stated that he has to agree with Mr. Hill-he can't make the judgment if $500,000.00 is adequate or not. That's for you people to determine. With the Insurance market as it is today and the cost of it, I would be very surprised if anything in excess of $500,000.00 for your type of organization with explosions and things. . Mr. Luster said the basic question he has is that if there is some type of catastrophic claim that our two million dollar policy will come into play. 'r Mr. Luster asked if the Board had any questions of anyone just regarding the Insurance question. Mr. Herrick, just to elaborate, there is not a question, Joe, in terms of protection • which we purchased through your Company. Joe Farrell responded No, Martin called Monday night, the insurance company for the Town Is Travelers, on Tuesday I checked with them and there is no question if there was a law suit we'd come Into play to protect the [as a matter of fact, Travelers would be involved from day one] Town even though Balboa or whatever carrier is involved. If there is a • • catastrophic law suit the world would be sued. Mr. Hill said you have to realize that every fireworks display that is produced in New York State, the operator is granted a permit by the Town, that's the way the mechanism works in New York State. A Town, a Fire Marshall, a Park Superintendent, those are the people that can grant permits. That's true in many other states. I don't recall, whenever there's a liability claim on an insurance policy, involving fireworks that the Town was ever suceptible to any suit. Mr. Luster stated that the only grounds is that the Town negligently Issued the permit, so that's what we are trying not to do now; negligently issue a permit. Mr, Hill stated that in one of his previous letters he addressed each of the items required for a permit in Section 405. Mr. td e of concerns,n dealt with ter, but ' since that was months ago, and now the convention is about to occur and a lot of rumors Lus are going that around and the one of the reasos Mrea . Hill was in asked the let here tonight is er to try state to dispel on some of these other rumors and get wi the facts out in the open so that we are dealing with facts and not just heresay. One of the concerns has been regarding the question of 'what measures have been taken with regard to policing the grounds, traffic control, what kind of crowds you expect, what type of advertising/publicity do you intend to project here and generally speaking public safety type of concerns?' So maybe you can talk to us about that. Mr. Hill addressed the safety because this is very high priority for the Guild. They have a safety force led by four professional display operators who, each night will have approximately twenty additional safety people. They are designated by special arm bands and jackets. They are briefed and knowledgable about fire- ' works and we will police the internal part of the fair grounds where we operate-- that's from the race track inward from the fence on. We will also have people outside making sure that no one but PGI members get into the infield. There will be no outside visitors or spectators allowed in that area. Denny Millspaugh is here, I guess, because he can address the external security, what they plan to do. Mr. Luster asked for any questions thus far. He asked about parking and who • would be responsible for that. Guess the Fair Association and the American Legion. Denny Milispaugh stated he has heard several rumors and they get started easily. Denny called Bob Howard today and Bob is willing to do anything we want, he'll help us in any way -- if we want people just needs to know ahead of time and of course we'd have to pay them, which is OK [Fair Association and PGI ]. Carolyn Duddleston said she took the liberty and called lb b Howard too, and he sent a representative tonight; Deputy Sheriff Dawson. He was asked if he wished to add anything at this time. Basically on normal patrols we usually have some extra people and we would dedicate the extra patrols to the area. Bob Howard suggested that some off-duty people be hired for traffic and grounds. Bob suggested and will leave it up to us, a minimum of four people - two for traffic, and two for grounds. If any specific questions come up they should be addressed to Bob Howard. Mr. Luster suggested we touch on some major concerns and then go back to the 5. TOWN OF ULYSSES ,3 1.' SPECIAL BOARD MEETING N 31 July 1985 f Page 3 others. Mr. Hill stated when he first met with the Town of Ulysses he expressed his concern about over whelming the fiar grounds with people. It has been his Intention, as he stated before, to do very careful advertising, nothing sensational, no full-page spread. He could probably bring 20,000 people if he wanted to, we know we can't handle that, obvously. He has met with Geri Speich and will continue his discussions with Bob Lodder about how we will initiate careful, • planned advertising to at least inform the public that there is such a thing going -- to happen and hopefully, by carefully doing that we will draw five or six thousand. • Mr. Luster indicated a journalist from the Ithaca Journal present tonight and presumably there will be something in the paper tomorrow not in the form of ® advertising but in the form of hot news. Mr. Hill stated he was not aware • of that and Mr. Luster pointed out it was true. Mr. Luster asked what happens if the article he presumes will appear, creates interest and you wind up with ten or fifteen thousand people? Mr. Hill stated he guessed we need to face the possibility although he feels it is somewhat remote, because no splashy advertising is planned. A few entries here and there; maybe a short radio spot. Mr. Luster stated his recollection is that the Guild will be open to the public one night, the final night. Mr. Hill said Wednesday, Thursday and Friday. The public will be allowed in during the advanced competiton evenings. Typically we (The Guild) draw five hundred to one thousand people. There is not much to see, it's Guild members doing their thing one at a time, it's rather boring. Richard Owlett asked if there had been any advertising as yet and the answer was no. Mr. Luster asked what types of communities these have been in before? Mr. Hill responded similar communties exactly like this. Between five and seven thousand-- for example, Rochester, Minnesota. Mr. Luster asked what the Fair does on a good night. Mr. Bennett said on Fire- mens Night about fifteen thousand. That is just one night. The entire Fair Grounds except for the infield can be used for parking. It was asked where the people will be if there are cars all over the grounds, are they sitting on their hoods or is this something the people can sit in the Grand . Stands for. Mr. Hill said they can if they want but wouldn't be able to see the aerial show - they can use the open Grand Stand. • Mr. Luster said, one other concern that he had just heard yesterday is the state of repair of the Grand Stands - are you satisfied that's in good enough shape to handle a capacity crowd? Answer was up to five rows - wouldn't be able to see at the top. Mr. Hill stated he had asked Denny to explore some alternate parking. Denny said he hasn't had a chance to check on school grounds parking - other than that, it's been on the State roads for years. Mr. Luster asked if any problems with that . . and the answer was the 'gaukers' who want to see from the road and that's what you'll have to control. • Mr. Luster asked Mr. Ferritti what his feelings were. Mr. Ferritti replied he was just listening. ® Mr. 11111 said he'd like to comment on one other rumor he had heard - he had mentioned at one of the Fair Ground meetins with the Board there, that they were planning to fire a 16" shell and somebody made a comment to somebody and started a rumor that that's the kind of shell you use on the New Jersey and we are in real trouble because of the houses. Mr. Hill stated that a 16" shell on the New Jersey weighs over two tons and has a ton of explosives in it! Our (the Guild] 16" shell is comprised mainly of paper and cardboard and string and weighs about eighty pounds. There is no house in Trumansburg that is in any jeopardy. Mr. Luster asked Mr. Hill about fire emergencies. Mr. Hill stated he had been in touch with Mark Vann and they have discussed having a unit available and will have on Friday night and perhaps all week. Richard Durling stated they originally planned to have a rescue truck on the grounds all the time and on Friday night have the rescue truck on the grounds and have one truck and the ambulance at the Main Gate and another truck over on Rabbit Run Road. No problem with anything. All they need to know is, will this be enough coverage and how many ;' TOWN OF ULYSSES /e SPECIAL BOARD MEETING 31 July 1985 Page N people the Fire Department will need to provide to givo coverage. Mr. Hill said he plans on the Rabbit Run Road area to be closed and the pipes • and things will be angled to use the back of Rabbit Run Road - along the creek, etc. , as their fall-out zone. So they will keep the fall-out away from the Grand •. Stand. Mr. Luster asked who will man the barricades on Rabbit Run Road to keep all but residents out? Mr. Hill replied their Safety personnel. Mr. Luster asked the Fair Committee if there is any area along Rabbit Run Road where access to the Fair Grounds is easy? There is one place and the Safety People from PGI will always be In that area. ' r Mr. Luster Indicated this took care of all the concerns he had. He asked If any of the Board members had any questions. Asked if others had questions. Deputy Sheriff Dawson asked when the biggest influx of people would occur. Friday night around 6:30 - 7:00 PM and the permit goes until 11 :30 PM when operations will cease. The public display on Friday night should be over by 10:30 PM and should start around 9:00 - 9:30 PM. No Intoxicants will be on the Fair Grounds. The other nights, between five hundred and a thousand people. Competition on the other nights begins when it gets dark. Asked if there will be activity on the Grounds during the day - Mr. Hill stated yes; seminars, work ships. Every member is issued a badge and without this badge you don't go anywhere; so those who don't have a badge are barred at the entrance. Mr. Luster asked Mayor Carl Mann if he had any questions or comments and Mr. • Mann replied No. Mr. Reitz asked if residents along Rabbit Run Road have been notified other than . by word of mouth? Letters will be sent to all residents. Any admission? The Fair Association will charge $1 .00 Wednesday, Thursday and Friday nights. . Robert Weatherby asked who will be charge of parking? The American Legion. It was suggested that prior to the show all agencies involved would meet. Richard Durling will be in charge of handling this. Mr. Hill indicated that the most Important time will be around 10:30 PM on Friday night - to make a smooth exit from the Fair Grounds. • Saturday night is the rain date. After that - no show. Can have it if there is a light drizzle. The State mandates that if the wind is over 30mph it [the show] is cancelled. The PGI has booked the Sheraton, Holiday Inn and about two hundred base members, sixty families and probably thirty or forty walk ins at the time of registration. • Mr. Luster asked if anyone had comments, questions or concerns. Hearing none, Mr. Luster went on to say that he has prepared an order which reads as follows: di THE PYROTECHNIC GUILD INTERNATIONAL INC. , ITS OFFICERS, MEMBERS, AND ASSOCIATES, HAVING SATISFIED ALL PERMIT REQUIREMENTS AND PROVIDING EVIDENCE OF LIABILITY, IS Il GRANTED PERMISSION TO DISCHARGE, TEST, AND DISPLAY FIREWORKS AND PYROTECHNIC DEVICES AT THE TRUMANSBURG FAIRGROUNDS, ROUTE 96 TRUMANSBURG, NY AUGUST 12 THRU 17 1985, DURING THE HOURS OF 10:00 AM TO 11 :30 PM.

Present: Martin Luster, Supervisor; Councilpeople Robert Herrick, Carolyn Duddleston, James Vorp, Robert Weatherby; James Meeker, Highway Superintendent; Elizabeth Bixier, Town Attorney; Marsha Georgia, Town Clerk/ Recording Secretary. Others Present: Doug Duddleston, Ellen Haith, Catherine Stover, Carl Jordan, Bob Snedeker, Linda and George Barry, Tom Reitz, Richard Durling, • Geri Speich-Freepress, Don Larson-Pennysaver, Richard Owlett, Dennis Sheehan, Tom Major, Antonia Demas, Susan Hill.,David Zimet. Mr. Luster asked for approval of minutes of July 9, 1985 Regular Meeting and July 31 , 1985 Special Board Meeting as distributed to the Board and as available to the public. Mrs. Duddleston moved, seconded by Mr. Herrick for such approval of the minutes. Mr. Luster asked for any additions or corrections, hearing none, the minutes were unanimously approved. Mr. Luster commended Marsha Georgia, Town Clerk and her Deputy, Paula Mount, for the particular detail of the July 31 , 1985 minutes. It was important to have them in detail. The Trumansburg Fire Department report was given by Richard Durling (see attached). Mr. Durling also announced if anyone was interested in display posters for the Woodcutters Show, see him after the meeting and he would be .1 glad to give them some posters. Representative James Mason was attending the County Representatives Meeting in Ithaca regarding the new jail. Antonia Demas of 16 Cayuga Street spoke in reference to the fireworks. It was her understanding that it would be one night only (Friday). She was surprised to hear them last night (Monday) until a late time. She realizes it is too late to do anything about it at this stage. She would like to suggest that they not be allowed to come back next year. She feels that five days of loud noise into late evening is not fair to people who live in the Village. Susan Hill of Savacool Road spoke in reference to the fireworks. She replied that she is pleased to see the Fairgrounds being used, but she agrees that night after night of loud noise is just not a good idea. She suggested maybe a compromise with the people and for them only to do a show on Friday night. George Barry of Rabbit Run Road, 1500' from fireworks, spoke regarding the fireworks also. He stated that not only did he get the noise, but the concussion was so bad he could not set his coffee down on the table without it spilling over. He stated he is all for fireworks and for the Fair Association, but he felt it was an invasion of privacy so close to residences. e Mr. Luster took this opportunity to clarify the rule of the Town in regard to the fireworks. The Pyrotechnic Guild International came to the Town last October with a request that the Town consider an application for a fireworks permit, which is required to be granted where fireworks are set-off outside of a Village in a Town. The Town has the responsibility of passing or not passing the application for a fireworks permit under Section 405 of the Penal Law. Mr. Hill came to the Town on more than one occasion with some information which he supplemented several times. The Town requested that he comply sentence by sentence with the Penal Law and show the Town how he was going to comply with each of the criteria set forth. The Board (Town Board of Ulysses) considered the application as an application for fireworks permit. The Board did not sponsor the fireworks or even invite the organization in. Under the law as Mr. Luster understands it, "a municipality can not prohibit TOWN OF ULYSSES ��� REGULAR BOARD MEETING • 13 August 1985 Paye 2 the public display of fireworks nor adopt regulations more stringent than those • provided by Section 405 of the Penal Law" (read from the Attorney Generals opinion) . Mr. Luster also called the Attorney Generals Office and had the entire opinion read to him. What it is saying is that this Is in the same class as an application for a building permit, or mobile home park whereas a municipality cannot exclude completely from its boundaries certain activities. So therefore, Mr. Luster stated the Town of Ulysses would not have been • within their rights to deny this permit if there was compliance with all of the standards set forth in the law. The Board found that there was compliance. Mr. Luster replied he is not using this law as a cop-out or an excuse. He said that perhaps he and the Board focused more specifically on the safety and the crowd control aspects than did on the noise aspects. The Board could have been more sensitive on that problem. But, Mr. Luster is not sure that the ® Town could have turned the request down on noise alone based on this interpretation from the Attorney General. Perhaps if there had been some negative responses last year it may have made a difference. Richard Owlett added as a note of clarification and possible background, that it is competition of fireworks. So Pyrotechnic people from all over the world will know what each manufacturer has in the way of fireworks - the Friday night show is a public display of all the different manufacturers. It is said that it will be the largest of its kind on the East Coast. Richard Owlett has also asked Mr. Hill to stay closer to the 11 PM time of ending the firings. Mr. Hill will make every attempt to do so. Linda Rarry of Rabbit Run added that she was proud that world-wide fireworks came to this area. But that her husband is losing work because of it. He Is working two jobs and sleeps from 7pm until 11 pm. There is no way he can rest • so therefore he had to call in and not go to work because of no sleep. it is hard to believe something like this has interfered with their lives. Another lady staying on Rabbit Run was concerned with the safety. Mr. Luster assured her that safety was well taken care of. • Mr. Luster entertained a motion, moved by Mr. Vorp, seconded by Mrs. Duddleston; Resolved that previous examined Claims #269-302 in the total amount of $18,770.19 be approved for payment. Adopted: Mr. Luster Aye Mr. Herrick Aye Mr. Vorp Aye - Mrs. Duddleston Aye Mr. Weatherby Aye • The Supervisor's Financial report has been distributed to the Board. Hearing no questions, Mr. Luster proceeded. • Mrs. Duddleston and Mr. Luster have met with Bob Hunt (Hunt Engineers) regarding the Jacksonville water. They discussed alternative sources for a •. r scaled down water district in Jacksonville. Prior to this meeting, Mr. Luster had gotton a report that a private individual on Jacksonville Road had a well drilled that was producing 50 gallons a minute. This was mentioned to Mr. Hunt. He said that sounded potentially good, although 50 gallons a minute is not generally sufficient to supply any type of municipal system, but together • • with a storage system, might very well supply a small district. Mr. Hunt was to contact the Board of Health to test this well for both quanity and quality. • This would be a very extensive test. Mr. Luster has received a call from Carl Burgess of the Health Department. He said that the Health Department would be happy to do the testing, but would not be happy to foot the cost for it, estimated at $250.00. What would have to be decided is one of two things, either authorize Mr. Luster to pay the $250.00 for the test or first • ask the owner whether or not he is amenable to making arrangements with the Town for installing a well on his property. The general concensus of the Board was to talk to the owner before any testing was ordered that would cost the Town. Mr. Luster will contact Mr. Hunt and Mr. Burgess and take it a step at a time. Mr. Reitz asked when the results were duo back on the twelve wells tested at the expense of Mobil Oil. Mr. Burgess had Indicated at least two to throe weeks for those results, TOWN OF ULYSSES REGULAR BOARD MEETING 13 August 1985 Page 3 The next item on the agenda was to be the discussion of the fi.eworks. Seeing that this was previously discussed, Mr. Luster moved on. Mr. Weatherby had been requested as the Building and Maintenance Chairman to do a study on the potential costs of taking care of some fairly serious deficiencies here in the Town Hall and at the Town Barns. Mr. Weatherby has met with a couple of contractors regarding this building. Dennis Sheehan was asked to give an estimate of repair. It was decided to have an electrical Inspection. Dennis Sheehan met with the electrical inspector at the Town Hall. The inspector informed us that the building is grossly out of code. The inspector indicated that the ceilings would have to come down, run conduit and wire correctly. As far as the panel, it is in violation, but he would contact his superior in Syracuse and get a deficient ruling. He mentioned that the romex in the building should be removed, the plugs in the building are wrong, and the fan in the hall way, if kept, should be rewired. A formal report, in writing, would follow upon receipt of $50.00. After receipt of this report a better estimate of repair could be made. Mr. Weatherby has spoken with a contractor in regard to the front of the building. This contractor recommended removal of the front panels, masonary work done and some new windows installed. An approximate cost for this is around $6,100.00. Mr. Luster asked Mr. Weatherby to continue on with the project and get back to the Board next month. • Tom Major was invited to give a brief report on the Summer Recreation Program. Mr. Major stated that basically the program is run through Village funds and Town funds. When the program originated, certain areas were paid for by the Village and certain areas by the Town. The breakdown in cost is that the Town pays Carl Jordan's salary as Little League Director, and pays a part of his salary for running the softball program, driving the swim bus, and a few other things. The Village is responsible for all equipment and things purchased through the program. There is a six week program of piayschool and swim bus. Some of the funding comes from the State, and a contribution from the United Fund Community Council, and also the Jacksonville Community Association. Carl Jordan explained briefly the Little League program. Going from May until July; total man hours Mr. Jordan puts in is approximately 125-130 hours. The cost for the program is funded through the Village. This years cost ran $850.00. Mr. Luster stated that part of his concern has been that the Town budgets $2,600.00 and that we get half back from the Division of Youth. The problem in the past is the Town has ended up with unexpended money because we have • budgeted $600. for baseball equipment. Last year we never got any vouchers from anyone for that money. Mr. Luster has met (year ago) with Gene Burpee from the Village and suggested perhaps the Town and Village get together and develop a joint program with joint financing, so money available will be used and money not needed would not be budgeted. Mr. Burpee felt this a good idea. Mr. Luster is In receipt of a proposal for a joint program from Nancy Zahler, County Youth Director, which he sent over to the Village but nothing • • has ever come of that. Mr. Luster feels this is going to be very timely. He asks if there is a member of the Board who would be willing to act as a liaison and sit down with Gene Burpee and see If we can't put this together in time for the 1986 Budget. Mr. Vorp volunteered to work with the Village and American Legion to try to set up a better working program. Mr. Luster stated that the Board had directed the Planning Board to appoint a committee to develop subdivision regulations for the Town. Mr. Reitz has been appointed Chairman of that committee. Mr. Luster has asked Tom to give the Board an up-date. Mr. Reitz reported that the Planning Board has gone through and completed over 80% of the model subdivision regulations they are reviewing. They are at the stage right now to review the design standards for the roads and streets, under Jim Meekers guidance. In reviewing the regulations letter by letter, word by word, the Planning Board is trying to be very diverse and be in tune with the Towns needs. They have taken a lot as being subdivided to three or more lots as the initial stage to look at it for subdividing (called rural r. TOWN OF ULYSSES in? REGULAR BOARD MEETING ` i� 13 August 1985 Page 4 subdivisions) . The Planning Board Is not comfortable with some of the wordings. They are reviewing other Towns regulations. The next Planning Board Meeting is scheduled for September. Mr. Reitz has previously passed out an agenda of the Tompkins County Planning Board of upcoming meetings along with the subject. Mr. Reitz is the Representative for the Town of Ulysses to the County Board. °. He invited any input to the meetings from our Board via himself. ' Mr. Luster is in receipt of correspondence and maps in reference to Federal :4 Flood Insurance program. Mr. Luster had passed this Information on to David :'.� ® Zimet our Zoning Officer to do some study. Mr. Zimet reported that the FEMA came up with a program whereby it hoped to prevent many of the flood disasters throughout the country. What they did is to set up a two stage program. The emergency stage, which is what they are in right now trying to get all the ® regulations in place. What this means is that anybody in the Town of Ulysses who wants to is able to purchase federal flood insurance through this federally subsidized program. The Town of Ulysses is not in much danger. Along the lake and certain creeks there may be a problem. Anyone can purchase flood insurance and the Town as a whole is eligible for disaster aid in case of a major flood disaster. Mr. Zimet stated that the Town moves out of the emergency period at the point of passing a Local Law, say that we will enforce the flood law however written. Basically what this means is that the Town will not allow any residents to build with the first floor in the 100 year flood zone, meaning that part of the lake shore which in the past 100 years has been flooded cannot have residential building, although commercial may be, provided that they are flood proved (list of regulations on how to do this). Mr. Zimet feels the only cost the Town would incur would be in the cost of advertising the Local Law. The procedure from this point; we've been issued this preliminary report and not in the too distant future the Town will be contacted by the State DEC (the liaison) . They will meet with the Town and explain in detail how the program operates and what the Town's responsibilities are, and what their responsibilities are. At that time also we would review the map to decide if II it is detailed enough, etc. After this final meeting, the Town has a 90 day appeal period, where the Town as a whole, or various residents of the Town or property owners can appeal to have their properties included or excluded from the flood hazard zone. If anyone files an appeal that 90 day clock is put on hold until all appeals are settled. Then once the 90 day clock goes down we enter into a compliance period at which time the Town has six months to pass the Local Law. — Mr. Zimet feels that the only cost to the Town would be the advertising fees . for the Legal Ad. The only other cost would be in reviewing the building permit, on a judgment call, the Zoning Officer would have to ask a surveyor to determine the elevation of the lowest floor of the house, at that point the • applicant would have to pick up that charge. Mr. Zimet doesn't feel it would appreciably add to the office time in reviewing the applications. Mr. Luster asked that the benefit to the residents of the Town would be that they could get Federal Flood Insurance? Mr. Zimet replied that if the Town ., opts out of the program and doesn't pass the Local Law, the Town would not be eligible for Federal Aid nor would residents be able to buy Federal Flood insurance. •the other point is that banks are very hesitant to authorize mortgage loans on houses that may be in flood zones. They are asking the • Towns to determine whether it is or is not in the flood zone. Mr. Herrick commented that the Town agreed to comply with this program years • ago (in 70's) to permit the residents in the area to be eligible for Federal ® funded Insurance. Mr. Herrick also stated that it is not a matter of the banks being hesitant, the law states that if financing is done in a flood hazard area, the individual seeking the money must obtain Federal Rood Insurance, this is a condition. A lender is neither reluctant nor not reluctant, If in a defined flood area they must have flood Insurance. Mr. Luster read a letter from the SPCA regarding the upcoming contract as follows: July 19, 1985 Mr. Martin Luster, Supervisor Town of Ulysses PO Box U Trumansburg, NY 14886 _ TOWN OF ULYSSES REGULAR MONTHLY MEETING 13 August 1985 Page 5 Dear Mr. Luster: Under the current dog control contract between your town and the SPCA, a full line of services is provided for a fixed annual amount. However, our data indi- : . cates that the annual fixed fee does not entirely cover the costs of this full line of services. Accordingly, we are proposing a reformulation In the 1986 contracts. • For an annual amount of $4,540. the SPCA will provide "basic" dog control services. Basic services Include pick-up of dogs, special patrols for known-at-large dogs, and issuance of appearance tickets for unlicensed dogs. It does not provide ® regular, routine patrolling nor does it provide a talk-to-owner feature. Under • basic services, the complainant would be responsible for signing the accusatory instrument when the SPCA officer arrives on the first complaint, rather than • having an SPCA officer talk to the violator as an initial step. We also comtemplate reduced or no service on a designated day, for example every Sunday. Since we understand that some towns may desire a higher level of service, the SPCA will also offer additional dog control services for an extra annual fee. For $363 per year you can elect the talk-to-owner feature In which our officer makes an initial contact with the violator as a first step in the complaint process. Also, for $655 per annum you can elect to have the SPCA send licensing reminder letters to dog owners. These two services would be added to the basic service. The SPCA also intends to offer what we call the "deluxe" dog control package. For an annual fee of $9,500. the SPCA will provide all dog control services currently offered to the towns. This includes all the basic services plus seven- day-a-week service and routine patrols as requested by the town. As you study these proposals, we would like you to keep in mind that a significant number of the towns will have to contract with the SPCA if this program is to work. There is a level of contractual revenue below which the SPCA cannot operate its town dog control program. Therefore, should a significant number of towns not enter into a dog control contract with the SPCA, the SPCA will not be able to • offer a dog control program to any town. Should you have any further questions, please feel free to contact Michael Costello at 272-4785, Monday through Thursday, between 3:00 and 5:00 p.m. Sincerely, Daniel R. Brown Treasurer, S. P.C.A. Mr. Luster asked Mrs. Duddleston, liaison to the SPCA for comment. Unfortunatly Mrs. Duddleston had not previously seen the letter. She would take a copy and look into it further for a report and recommendation next month. The meeting was stopped temporarily by the arrival of Charles Hill, Chairman of the Pyrotechnic Guild International. Mr. Hill had heard rumors down on the fairgrounds that there may be some problems. He was here to address just that. Mr. Luster stated that the Town had had a number of complaints from Town residents, such as the decibel level in relation to starting time and ending time, things that are expected. • • Mr. Hill will try and end the competition earlier. Mr. Hill was willing to put the Barry's up in a motel for the duration of the convention at the PGI's expense. Mr. Hill was given their name and phone number and will contact the Barry's to make his offer. Mr. Luster stated that out of the total population of the Village and Town only around ten complaints have come forward, which is not bad. Mr. Luster received correspondence from NY Job Development Authority. They are asking for statements from elected officials in support of legislation that would Increase the limit of job development authority bonds that can be guaranteed by the State from $300 million to $600 million and that would Increase the percentage of the project cost that the JDA can lend In any one project from 40% to 60%. The correspondence goes on to say the bonding increase is essential if JDA is to continue to service the bonding needs of many small businesses throughout New York State. The general concensus of the Board that this is a worthwhile organization. Mr. Luster will write to legislators urging the passing of legislation as requested In the above mentioned correspondence, with the consent of the Board. • I• TOWN OF ULYSSES !e3 REGULAR MONTHLY MEETING 13 August 1985 Page 6 The Town Clerk pointed out that the regular Town Board meeting scheduled for • September 10th falls on Primary Day, Mr. Luster entertained that the meeting be rescheduled for September 17, 1985 and directed the Town Clerk to notify the Ithaca Journal seeing that the meeting this evening was covered by the Freepress and Pennysaver--they have been informed. Bids have been received by the Town Clerk for the sale of the 1978 Ford Pick- up truck, these were passed to James Meeker, Highway Superintendent, for opening at this time. Bids received from: William Proctor $1210.00 Fred Haight 750.00 Francis Potter 903.00 ® Charles Heath 665.50 Mr. Herrick moved, seconded by Mr. Vorp the adoption of the following resolution: RESOLVED: that the Town Board of the Town of Ulysses accept • William Proctor's bid of $1210.00 for the purchase of the 1978 Ford Pick-up. Adopted: Mr. Luster Aye Mr. Herrick Aye Mr. Vorp Aye Mrs. Duddleston Aye Mr. Weatherby Aye Mr. Meeker was directed to notify William Proctor and have him stop by the office with a certified check for $1210.00 and in return the Town Clerk will turn over the Certificate of Title. Elizabeth Bixler, Town Attorney, reported on the putting together of a resolution authorizing the Zoning Officer, Building Inspector and Fire Inspector to issue appearance tickets, by way of getting violations of the Zoning Ordinance and NYS Uniform Building and Fire Codes into court. This would be in contrast • to this gentleman going to the local Town Court and signing an accusatory instrument then the Town Court issuing a warrant for the person to come in. This would just simplify the procedure to get violators into court. Mr. Herrick moved, seconded by Mrs. Duddleston the adoption of the following resolution: WHEREAS, the Town of Ulysses has a Town Zoning Officer charged with the duty of enforcing the Zoning Ordinance of the Town of Ulysses, and WHEREAS, the Town of Ulysses has a Town Fire Inspector and a Town Building Inspector, each charged with the duty of enforcing the New York State Uniform Fire Prevention and Building Code, and WHEREAS, the Town of Ulysses Zoning Ordinance and the Uniform Fire Prevention and Building Code can both be enforced by proceedings in the Town of Ulysses Justice Court, BE IT RESOLVED that, effective immediately, the Town of Ulysses Zoning Officer is authorized to issue Town of Ulysses Justice Court appearance tickets for violations of the Zoning Ordinance and be it further •• • . RESOLVED that, effective immediately, the Town of Ulysses Building Inspector and the Town of Ulysses Fire Inspector are each • authorized to issue Town of Ulysses Justice Court appearance tickets for violations of the New York State Uniform Fire Pre- vention and Building Code. ® Adopted: Mr. Luster Aye Mr. Herrick Aye Mr. Vorp Aye Mrs. Duddleston Aye Mr. Weatherby Aye The second Item Elizabeth was to look Into was making the office of Receiver of Taxes appointed rather than elective. The law now says it is elected. This can be changed by the Town Board passing a local law which Is subject to a mandatory referendum. There is no way to make that law effective and the referendum take place so It would effect this coming election this year. Elizabeth suggested If the Town wants to do this, a law can be passed at any time and scheduled for the next general election. Tho concensus of the Board is to hold � WN‘OF ULYSSES MEGULAR MONTHLY MEETING 13 August 1985 Page 7 off on the local law until the next general election In two years to be less confusing for the voters. Marsha Georgia, Town Clerk, reported the total fees collected for the month of July were $737.00 of which $404.42 was turned over to Martin Luster, Supervisor and $55.00 turned over to the Town of Ithaca for Building Permits. Mrs. Georgia reported that the Conservation Licenses will go on sale as scheduled for August 15th, although there are some stamps that have not arrived as yet. Mrs. Georgia would like to see clerks, supervisors and town boards look into the waste of paperwork that DEC has. She alone throws out almost as much as she uses. James Meeker, Highway Superintendent gave his report for the month of July (see attached) . David Zimet, Zoning Officer gave his monthly report. He traveled 168 miles, Issued 7 permits. Point of Interest-so far InAugust 10 permit applications have come in. Mr. Zimet is looking into what is called ECHO housing. Due to • a lot of concerns voiced on two matters - one: the policy regarding mobile homes and why is it fair if someone has three acres can and if not you can't. Related to that is concern that many people want something to provide housing for elderly or disabled relatives. This new program, ECHO houses, uses units from 200 to 700 square feet that would only require a special permit. He will check into this further. Mr. Zimet will keep the Planning Board advised. Mr. Zimet has previously received approval for a sign amnesty, and asked at this time for an extension. Mr. Herrick moved, seconded by Mrs. Duddleston the adoption of the following • resolution: RESOLVED: that the Town Board of the Town of Ulysses extend the amnesty on sign permit fees per David Zimet, Zoning Officer, P Adopted: Mr.until the Luster end of 1985.

In - September hopefully he is scheduled for his schooling. The course is a week in September and a week in October of which the cost can be shared with the Village, because he needs to attend for both municipalities. Mr. Herrick asked Mr. Zimet to get Lew Cartee's views on ECHO housing. Mr. Weatherby asked for approval to pay the $50.00 fee for the electrical inspection. As Building Maintenance Chairman, Mr. Weatherby has authorization • to pay. It was added to the audited claims. Tom Reitz asked if anything had been done regarding the request to reduce the speed limit on Penn Avenue. Mr. Luster said It's on the upcoming agenda. Hearing no further business, Mrs. Duddleston moved, seconded by Mr. Herrick for adjournment. Unanimously carried, the meeting was adjourned at 9:50 PM. Marsha L.

Present: Martin Luster, Supervisor; Councilmen James Vorp and Robert Weatherby; • Highway Superintendent James Meeker; Town Attorney Elizabeth Bigler and Deputy Town Clerk Paula Mount. Others Present: Fire Inspector Robert Snedeker, Edwin Brown, Thomas Reitz, Dick Parker, Catherine Stover, Dan Larsen-Pennysaver, Ellen Haith, Geri Speich-Free Press, Jack Reed. Mr. Luster entertained a motion to approve the minutes of the August 13, 1985 meeting as distributed to the Board and available to the public. Mr. Vorp moved, and seconded by Mr. Weatherby the approval of the minutes. The minutes were • unanimously approved. Mr. Luster read the Trumansburg Fire Department's report (see attached) . •• Representative James Mason was not present. Mr. Luster reported that Jon Speich had dropped off a written report on the Ulysses Youth Unlimited financial status. This organizations financial problems were discussed in June and it has been reported that UYU is well along the road to financial recovery - so much so that they are advertising to re-hire part of the position they laid off in June - they are going to re-hire on a part-time basis. They have met with the Internal Revenue Service and will have a schedule of arrears • payments by the end of this month. They have intensified their fund raising efforts and have achieved a large degree of success. Mr. Luster, with the Board's approval, would like to distribute copies of the report at a later date. Mr. Jack Reed spoke concerning Small Fry Football. A request is being made for • • funds to start up this activity. Mr. Luster introduced that when Tom Major was ® here last month he gave a report on the Recreation Programs in the Town and brought up the fact that there was $1,200. last year and again this year that we budgeted for each of these two years that has gone unspent, caused by a program that was discontinued. As a result, Tom found a way to spend it and Mr. Reed will tell us about that program. • Mr. Reed said the program would be for 4th through 7th grade boys, which will meet on Sunday afternoons. It is a Flag Football League which is different from before. There will be four teams with eight players to a team. They will be coached by volunteer fathers; the coaching staff from the High School will put on a clinic every week (approximately for 15 minutes) in various areas of football. They will need to buy T-shirts ( which will also differentiate the teams) , flags and mouth guards for each boy. The goal is to develop a healthy interest of football. We are going through a period of time where the majority of people view football as a very dangerous sport and we are trying to edurnre that fnntball is not AS dangerous as most people view it, that the danger is due to the lack of proper preparation and the lact of qualified people teaching the sport. The program is • designed to get as many boys as interested in a fun environment, that they will learn some of the skills that are required in football and they will enjoy it and will have an idea of what is going to be happening to them when they get to the high school level. The 8th grade has a Modified Program so there is a big gap. All other sports are for 4th, 5th and 6th, so football is the only one that has • this gap. Mr. Luster thanked Mr. Reed and stated that money has been appropriated and we've Ill run this past the County Youth Board who assists us with the paperwork for the State reimbursement and they see no problem - it's a qualified activity. It is in the 1985 budget as equipment and if spent on equipment, the budget requires no change; if it turns out to be spent on other than equipment we can file an amendment with the State Division of Youth and obtain our reimbursement. Mr. Vorp asked if they planned on spending $1 ,200. on shirts? Mr. Reed said no. They have the American Legion donating pants. The shirts will be about $300-$400, then a mouth guard for each boy, football flags and incidentals. They will try to keep well below that, but starting-up costs more: footballs are a different size. Some of these costs will not be there next year. Mr. Vorp questioned about other sports available for boys and girls. Mr. Reed stated various sports offered to both boys and girls from elementary level through r ..5. . . ,._ . .,, p `: a •'' . • • .. • ..• Mme. TOWN OF ULYSSES / '� REGULAR BOARD MEETING 17 September 1985 Page 2 • Junior High ages. Mr. Vorp stated he is in favor of any type of recreation we have for the youth ' of the neighborhood because any kind of organized recreation or sports is better than being on the street. He is in favor of this proposal and motioned, seconded by Mr. Weatherby adoption of the following resolution: I RESOLVED: that the monies budgeted for the Town Recreation Program in the amount of $1,200. be used to establish a Small Fry Flag Football Program. 1 Mr. Luster asked if Mr. Reed was looking for any other funding. Mr. Reed replied not at this time, aside from the American Legion. Mr. Luster asked all those in favor of putting the Small Fry Football program, . 411 as proposed in the current budget as well as the 1986 Budget say Aye. Adopted: Mr. Luster Aye • Mr. Vorp Aye Mr. Weatherby Aye Mr. Luster entertained a motion to approve Claims #310 - 361 in the amount of ' . $6, 157.79. Mr. Weatherby moved, seconded by Mr. Vorp approval of these Claims. Adopted: Mr. Luster Aye • Mr. Vorp Aye Mr. Weatherby Aye Mr. Luster explained that Carolyn Duddleston and Marsha Georgia were representing the Town of Ulysses at a meeting of representatives of all the Towns, held at the Groton Hotel. Primary purpose of this meeting is to discuss the SPCA proposals and perhaps alternatives to those proposals. Carolyn is the liaison from the Town to the SPCA. OLD BUSINESS •' III Mr. Luster brought up the Jacksonville Water situation. Much has happened since the last meeting. An additional thirteen premises have been tested for the presence of the chemical components of gasoline and three of the sites show levels beyond that recommended for human consumption by the Health Department. Of the remaining sites, a number of them (4 or 5) show traces of these elements but not near the level that is considered to be unhealthy. Notices went out to the three owners that have the high readings. Since that time, Mr. Luster has met two or ,- three times with the Department of Health, DOT and on two occasions with represent- tatives from Mobil Oil. Mobil Oil has agreed to place filters on the wells of these three newly discovered affected homes, without admitting any liability. In addition, the State Department of Transportation and the County Health Department have identified an additional eleven homes to be tested [a wider circle than pre- viously tested] and that scheduling should be under way now. They are also re-testing ones that were done in the last round and also re-testing initial four homes affected by gasoline. These are more conclusive tests than before and is being done on a scientific basis of gradually expanding the circle around the - Mobil Station to try to determine the perimeter of the affected area. In addition, it was discovered at one of these meetings that an underground tank that has been • discontinued for 30 years contained a petroleum product. That tank has been • , drained; however, Mr. Luster continued, he inspected the site of the draining over the week-end and it appears to have been a real sloppy job - gasoline was spilled, indicated by a large burned-out area of grass near the drain pipe and a large stain in the road. The problem is that they had planned to drop test wells • around that old tank to see if there is any evidence of gasoline in the ground water surrounding that tank. If in fact they spilled on the surface, to the untrained mind, this will kill those results. Mr. Luster called the Health Department III today and pointed this out to Carl Burgess and asked him to contact DOT to ask them Number One to verify what Mr. Luster saw was a problem and Number Two before they fill that tank with sand to test that tank, because that is the only way we will ever know if it has ever leaked. They can do an air test, but the State DOT does not recognize an air test as being conclusive, so imagine the alternative way to do it would be to fill it with a dye and watch for seepage. It was asked if the tanks were ever removed from Willie Greggs7 According to Health Department records, Yes they were. Tom Reitz indicated that Wards Gas Station on the corner of Route 96 and Van Darns ' Corner Road has discontinued pumping gas. This information was passed on to Bob . Snedeker, Fire Inspector. Mr. Snedeker indicated that according to the Code as it's written now, any time a tank is taken out of service, he is to be notified. If out of service for more than thirty days, it has to be drained and filled with TOWN OF ULYSSES REGULAR BOARD MEETING 17 September 1985 Page 3 an inert substance. It's an environmental hazard. R Mr. Luster stated that one of the problems is that they never find gasoline in the well water, they only find a component. Mr. Reitz again mentioned having a meeting in Jacksonville. Robert Weatherby, Building Committee Chairman, reported on an estimate he had from an electrical contractor for rewiring the Town Hall to bring it up to Code. ® The cost would be $2,400.00. Mr. Luster has received a letter from the Inspector and we are in violation. Mr. Weatherby indicated that this price does not include removing or replacing the ceiling. Mr. Luster asked Mr. Weatherby to firm up the requirements and they can call a Special Meeting and get this done. Other repairs are needed but the wiring is most important. Mr. Luster indicated that DEC will attend the regular October meeting to talk to us about the Federal Flood Insurance Program and go over maps with us. There will not be a formal hearing at this time, just to get comments about proposed map and suggestions and revisions. There will then be a formal hearing at which time people whose homes are in the affected area will have the opportunity to file objections. Maps are available in the Clerk's Office. Mr. Luster read correspondence from Mrs. Stover to Mr. Charles Hill of the Pyrotechnic Guild International Inc. (see attached) . Mr. Luster said he had not had a request from Mr. Hill to be considered for future years. Mr. Vorp added that he had heard many favorable comments from constituents and they asked that we invite the PGI back and he would like to do that. Mr. Weatherby added he had heard the same. Mr. Vorp motioned, seconded by Mr. Weatherby adoption of the following resolution. RESOLVED: that the Town Board of the Town of Ulysses extend an invitation Ito Mr. Charles Hill and the Pyrotechnic Guild International, Inc. to return next year. Discussion ensued and Mr. Luster said he was opposed. It was a very impressive display for one night. He received a number of calls from people in the immediate vacinity complaining about the noise and the hours, and he thinks the entertainment value is outweighed by the nusance value. Mr. Luster thought it was a neat thing to do for one year, but is opposed to it. Hear no further comments the vote on the motion was taken. Mr. Vorp Aye Mr. Weatherby Aye • Mr. Luster Nay Adopted. The Clerk was asked to send Mr. Hill a letter inviting the PGI to return. Mr. Luster read a letter from John Anderson, Director of Environmental Health to Natural Lean Pork answering their request to re-open (fl..-.lib¢ . In summary, it is not acceptable and basically turns down the proposal to re-open. Mr. Luster indicated we may not have an alternative to the SPCA dog control prior ID to September 30th, which is the deadline to file a tentative budget for 1986. Mr. Luster proposes, for budget purposes, to use the middle figure of the the three alternative contracts, which approximates what was spent this year for the SPCA. IIIIf Carolyn Duddleston comes back and a better way is developed among the Towns, we can make changes at Preliminary Budget time. NEW BUSINESS Mr. Luster read a letter of resignation from Richard Burton (see-elethst) , and asked for a motion to accept the resignation. Mr. Weatherby moved that the letter of resignation from Richard Burton, E.M.C. be accepted, seconded by Mr. Vorp and unanimously approved. Mr. Vorp asked that a letter of thanks be sent to Mr. Burton. Mr. Luster is in receipt of the 1986 contract with the Senior Citizen Council for the Municipal Recreation Program for the Elderly. It is the same as last year and calls for a Town contribution of $1,300. toward this program. Mr. Vorp moved, seconded by Mr. Weatherby the adoption of the following resolution: RESOLVED: that the Supervisor be authorized to sign the 1986 contract TOWN OF ULYSSES 1/ REGULAR BOARD MEETING 17 September 1985 Page 4 with Senior Citizen Council for the Municipal Recreation Program for the Elderly. A brief description of activities was listed. Adopted: Mr. Vorp Aye Mr. Weatherby Aye • Mr. Luster Aye Mr. Luster stated that it is budget time again. A schedule for review is as follows: 1. Department estimates due by 9/20 2. Tentative Budget filed by 9/30 411 3. Special Meeting on Tentative Budget 10/1 4. Public Hearing on Preliminary Budget 11/7 5. Adoption of Budget — Regular Meeting 11/12 Mr. Luster indicated that correspondence with Blue Cross/Blue Shield indicates no increase which is good news. Mr. Vorp moved, seconded by Mr. Weatherby the adoption of the following resolution: RESOLVED: that the Supervisor is authorized to renew the Town contract with Blue Cross/Blue Shield of Central New • York per August 26, 1985 proposal. Adopted: Mr. Vorp Aye Mr. Weatherby Aye Mr. Luster Aye The Clerk was asked to post the budget meetings and also to have an ad, not a legal, put in the newspaper and was decided to use the Free Press. The question of Pennsylvania Avenue was discussed. Mr. Luster's request sent to the Village Board, to reduce the speed limit has received no answer. Mr. Vorp will speak to Mayor Mann about this situation. ill Paula Mount, Deputy Town Clerk, reported the total fees collected for the month of August was $3,437.50. The total turned over to the Supervisor $430.23 and the Building Fees turned over to the Town of Ithaca totaled $490.00. James Meeker, Highway Superintendent reported (see attached) . There was no Zoning Report but as soon as Mr. Luster receives it he will distribute copies to the Board. Mr. Luster read the Building Inspector's report. Five new one—family homes started in August. Total estimated cost $297,500.00; same number in the same period of time but values have gone up. Also issued permits for six additions with a total value of $85,000. compared to three last year for same period and 4 garages for value of $21,000.00. Total permits 15, total construction costs of $403,500.00, total fees received $490.00. Robert Snedeker, Fire Inspector, mentioned getting paperwork straightened out. He will use same forms, with slight modifications, as the Zoning/Building forms. Started school this week. Since Village will pay half of the costs (Mr. Snedeker is the Village Fire Inspector also) he will divide the costs between the two. It's • about $242.00 per week, so it is costly. Only other expense at this point will be about $150. for printed materials. Mr. Vorp asked where the school is being held and how many people attending. Mr. Snedeker said it is being held at the Montour Falls State Fire Academy and about twenty—seven people are attending. Mr. Luster stated one thing he wanted to mention regarding the budget, the question is what do we do about Revenue Sharing? The last correspondence received from the Federal government on Saturday indicated they are not sending out usual certification cards we normally would have received by this time of year certifying to us the amount of Revenue Sharing we could expect the next year. So we don't know whether we can expect anything or if it will be a reduced amount or the same as this year. We should know sometime in October, but by then we have to have our budget pretty much in place. Unless we hear differently from Frank Liguori, Mr. Luster is putting in the same amount received this year and last year. If in fact Revenue Sharing is substantially cut we may need to make some dramatic changes in November before final action is taken on the budget. • T WN OF ULYSSES q , • ,‘ .,RE8ULAR BOARD MEETING 17 September 1985 Page 5 Elizabeth Bixler, Town Attorney reported on the action against William Auble, which started in May. We were seeking a preliminary injunction enjoining him from doing any more dumping in the meantime. The motion for a preliminary injunction was made in June and Ma Bixler has just received the Judge's decision. The Judge refused to give us the preliminary injunction. This does not affect the law suit itself, and this will be continued with. Further discussion ensued. Hearing no further business, Mr. Luster entertained a motion for adjournment. • Mr. Vorp moved, seconded by Mr. Weatherby to adjourn the meeting.

Id TOWN OF ULYSSES lir PLANNING BOARD MEETING 18 September 1985 • Present: Chairman Roland Reynolds, Ken Rlemer, Budd Stover, Bill Smith, • Tom Reitz, Bob Bauchle, Seville Reulein and Secretary Paula Mount. Mr. Reynolds called the meeting of the Planning Board to order at 7:30 PM. The budget proposal was discussed and Mr. Reynolds will complete and submit the Planning Board's budget request for 1986 to the Town Clerk prior to September 20th. Mr. Reynolds reiterated that the Planning Board has already gone through the proposed sub-division regulations that Tom Reitz presented. It was decided to look at the Town of Ithaca's regulations and see if ours could be somewhat along that line. ® Copies of the Town of Ithaca regulations were sent out and extra copies were made. Mr. Reynolds indicated that the proposal was that we waited to review the Town of Ithaca regulations to see what they have done before we Jump to conclusions. Mr. Reynolds added that he knows, with sub-division regulations that there is a lot of emotion involved in making up something like this; you are either for it or against it, 5o we are prejudiced to start with and we are not going to over- • come that - so all we can do is come up with something that workable. Mr. Reitz stated that we could adopt the State law. The idea was to make it more general and adaptable to our area. The other thing to remember about the Town of Ithaca regulations is that they have a full time Town Engineer and staff individuals to watch and enforce their regulations. Mr. Reulein asked if Tom meant we should take the State approach because we don't have this staff? Mr. Reitz replied that there was a question earlier on how do we enforce this and the other thing of course is that the Town of Ithaca is dealing with a different environment. They appear to be more re- strictive than our proposed regulations. Mr. Reynolds asked for suggestions. Hearing no comments he recapped the last Planning Board meeting and the consensus of opinion then was that the regulations Tom proposed were too lengthy and wordy. Mr. Reulein indicated that the proposed section dealing with roads was enough to scare people off. He hates to see this happen, he would like to see people come in, but it's a rural community and we are not getting anybody into the Township. Taxes keep going up, tax base goes up, can't get water. The Town of Ithaca talks about it [water] one day and they decide the next they are going to run a line. Mr. Reynolds said he thought we'd had an increase last year of about one million dollars in the Town of Ulysses and the tax base went up. Didn't think we've done that this year. Mr. Reitz indicated that it was reported at the Town Board meeting held Sept. 17th that five new homes were approved for $497,000. as opposed to five last year for $250,000. ; so the five new ones this year are higher in value. Mr. Bauchle asked what the opinion of the Town Board was on sub-divisions? We need Ideas or we can be at this forever. Ili Mr. Reynolds asked if anyone had read the Town of Ithaca booklet. Mr. Reitz had, so Mr. Reynolds asked him to give a summary of the two versions. Mr. Reitz commented that he had reviewed Town of Ithaca regulations prior to writing the other. The one he submitted is a cross between the Town of Ithaca and Town of Groton, not as restrictive as Ithaca's but not as loose as the other. The Town of Ithaca divides all land. Mr. Reynolds said that's what he liked about Tom's proposed regulations - all was not divided. Mr. Stover asked Tom if we would be hiring an engineer? Mr. Reitz replied only when needed for particular projects, as required. We wouldn't need one unless development was taking place. A condensed version of Tom's proposed regulations could be developed to hand out to people interested in developing and the larger book could be a 'working' copy for the office. VII PLANNING BOARD ;; ' 18 September 1985 Page 2 1 Mr. Reynolds said that if we want sub-divisions In the Town we need to watch how restrictive we are or the individual will never be able to put one in. 1; Mr. Reulein mentioned the Issue of mobile homes - how restrictions have affected them and how you have to be careful not to discriminate against the person just starting out and being able to afford a mobile home; but you I, can make It so he has to landscape around it, etc. so that having one next door doesn't ruin your property value. Mr. Reitz pointed out that we also '' have people who want to retire and can't afford to build a large home or just >; • don't want to build a large home. Mr. Bauchle indicated he didn't think the plan they were working on was too restrictive, maybe in just a few areas. • !:,' • ® Mr. Reynolds stated the highway section was out of line in his opinion and most agree, and it was suggested that James Meeker write up something that wasn't too lengthy and would fall within the guidelines of the Township that everyone would be satisfied with. For tonight, disregard the highway completely, and approach the other issues. As far as the highway, if we put down, roads • must meet Town specs - and then refer to that, it should be OK. . Mr. Riemer said that in briefly comparing the two sets of regulations, he felt the Town of Ithaca's are really complicated. He does like the glossary section in the Town of ithaca's regulations. It was asked how Mr. Zimet felt and concensus was that he like the Town of . Ithaca regulations. Mr. Stover is bothered by the fact that a road has to be taken over by the Town before you can have homes and our Zoning is set up that you need 200feet of road frontage. Mr. Reitz explained the 200feet of road frontage is because of the County Board of Health requirements. . Mr. Reynolds said all we can do is come up with what is best for people. He wonders if there is another answer to the road question, but is not familiar with legalities of certain issued. It was suggested by Mr. Reitz that we invite our Town Attorney to a meeting to answer questions we may have. Mr. Reynolds went on to say that these are just general requirements for everybody, and asked what folks thought our main objective in sub-division regulations were. Mr. Reitz indicated he felt this was all brought to a head with Dick Parkers proposed sub-division; review of sub-division regulations were enacted twenty- five years ago, so therefore State regulations took effect and they were very restrictive. If someone is Interested in building a sub-division in the Town, they would like to have a neat and orderly fashion in which to proceed step by step. They need to have information and it gives the Planning Board some- thing to work with. Mr. Reynolds voiced his agreement and asked for additional comments. Mr. Bauchle doesn't feel we have to be apologetic with restrictions used with Dick Parker. He had a hard piece of ground to start with. Ken Riemer said perhaps this will encourage people who are interested in a project of this size to get a package put together before looking into financing. They will know what's expected of them from the Town from the start. • Bob Bauchle felt we could even charge $5.00 for a copy of the regulations. 1 Mr. Reynolds asked that everybody review the two sets of plans and come up with something that meets with everyone's agreement [if at all possible]. Will get ideas from James Meeker also - he's objecting to roads and length of information and also felt too restrictive. Mr. Reynolds stated that no matter what we come up with, someone down the line can misconstrue the meaning or read it in an entirely different way. The matter of having a hearing was questioned. Mr. Reitz said a hearing on a minor project is suggested, not required; but this can be done in one night. A major project - the hearing is required. Tom Reitz mentioned that we have on file, the other Town's sub-division rules and regulations and everyone can feel free to look at them. PLANNING BOARD /art 10 September 1985 Page 3 Mr. Reynolds asked If there are any changes from the Town of Ithaca they would like to adopt. Mr. Reulein felt the print is quite small. At the next meeting we will try to come up with some kind of proposal for sub-divisions. The next meeting will be Wednesday, October 16th at 7:30 PM. Mr. Reynolds would like all changes and suggestions that night. Mr. Reitz read an invitation to all the Planning Board members from the Municipal Officers Association. He also reported that he had attended the County Planning Board meeting. It was a joint meeting with the Transpor- tation Commission. Route 96 was discussed. The Town of Ithaca, the Tompkins Community Hospital and the Paleontological Research Institution have come up with a proposal to relocate the Paleontological Institution and have Route 96 come up through there. It would better avoid the hospital Intersection. The Institution would have to be re-located and Cornell may ® offer them a space on campus. A motion was made, seconded and passed to encourage the Stte to look at the proposal. Of course, the City of Ithaca still have Veto power. Notices will be sent as reminders of the next Planning Board meeting. Hearing no further business, Mr. Reynolds asked for a motion to adjourn. Mr. Bauchle moved, seconded by Mr. Stover to adjourn. Unanimously carried. The meeting was adjourned at 9:00 PM. Respectfully submitted, Paula J. Mount, Secretary I Pm 1 TOWN OF ULYSSES • SPECIAL BOARD MEETING 28 September 1985 1 Present: Martin Luster, Supervisor; Councilpeople Carolyn Duddleston, Robert Herrick, Robert Weatherby; Thomas Reitz , Paula Mount, • Deputy Town Clerk. Mr. Luster called the Special Meeting of the Ulysses Town Board to order at 11 : 00 AM and asked Carolyn Duddleston to report her findings concerning the SPCA and alternative methods of dog control. Mrs. Duddleston indicated that two of the Town' s who have contracted with their own dog control agent There is some question about the way vt dplge wtph ohsed o and eat® the present time the State is looking into the situation. They both say they are getting it ' cheap' ; Danby is paying $1 , 800. a year, but there is milage on top of that, supplies, paperwork, etc. , so this - doesn' t reflect a true picture. She does not do any of the paper- ,; work. Lansing pays $2, 300. and hiresa part-time Deputy Clerk to do the paperwork. For the same contract with the SPCA that we have now, it would be $9, 500. There is no middle contract, there is a basic dog control figure of $4, 540. that will include pick up of dogs, special patrols, • issuing of appearance tickets; you can add $363. for 'talk to the owner' feature and $655. to send reminder letters which will bring it up to $5, 558. 00. Mr. Luster asked what the difference would be between that service and what we are getting now. Basically we won' t be getting a daily patrol. General discussion took place. Mrs. Duddleston indicated that the SPCA is saying that all of the Towns must go with the same package contract. The rest of the Town' s weren' t sure which way to go. The contract fees for some of the other Towns are more, because they are based on number of dogs. It has been rumored that the SPCA will not be offering this service in another year. We need [the Towns] to go to the County to see if there is something they can do; regardless something will need to be done in the next year. I; Mr. Luster mentioned that what he had done for the tentative budget was to include the same figure that we had last year. This arrange- ment sounds reasonable to him. Mr. Luster asked Carolyn to contact the other Towns to see if we can all pull together. Carolyn added that Newfield and Enfield would both like to come and talk with us - perhaps we three could get together and have our own service. Willow Creek Kennels have offered their dog pound so that is a possibility we can keep in mind. Mr. Luster added that we need to do some serious planning for 1987 . Carolyn stated that the SPCA lawyer, Mike Costello, will be at our next Town Board meeting. Carolyn indicated that it looks like the other six Towns in the County are going to go with an SPCA contract but that they just weren' t sure which one. She will suggest to them to come in at the same level as we plan to. We will be spending less on dog service than last year and Mr. Luster suggested that we won' t even notice the missing service. The only difference in service will we will not have daily patrols, but they will pick up when called. Mr. Luster asked for any other business and Mr. Weatherby mentioned that he had talked with Dennis Sheehan on the electrical work for the Town Hall and that all the work he indicated would bring us up to Code per the electrical inspector' s letter. Mr. Weatherby asked that if we need to have the ceiling taken down to do the electrical, TOWN OF ULYSSES 13.13 SPECIAL BOARD MEETING 28 September 1985 Page 2 why not have the duct work put in for the air conditioning? It makes sense to do it at the same time. Mr. Luster stated that the problem is the cost of central air conditioning. We are considering individual units because of the cost factor. A new furnace is a necessity. Carolyn asked about the windows and other things that need to be done, and will it be taken care of before winter? Mr. Weatherby replied that the wiring would be about $2, 400. , a new furnace will run about $2 , 500. ; if you want to do everything it will cost about $10, 000. 00. That' s doing quite a bit to the structure. This does not include air conditioning. The additional windowns may help with air flow. Mr. Luster said that right now we have about $16,000. in the Capital Reserve Account and he is suggesting an additional $5, 000. for next year. The money is there. If we are going to do it all at once with one contractor we would have to bid it. Mr. Weatherby said that Dennis Sheehan would only do the electrical. Mr. Luster suggested that we deal with that right now, since that is a safety factor, and then after that the furnace. Mr. Luster asked if we wanted to shop around or offer it to Mr. Sheehan? Mr. Herrick stated that he would like to get at least a second opinion on price. Mr. Luster suggested Mr. Weatherby talk to B & W who is working on the Village building. Discussion on who would remove and replace the ceiling for the job. It was suggested that Mr. Meeker would be able to help, but the concensus was that he is short of help and really does not have the time. Mr. Weatherby will get one more bid on both the wiring and • the furnace and then a decision will be made. Laborers can be hired to do the ceiling work. • Mr. Luster stated that the Tentative Budget is done, it' s a very • moderate increase. Carolyn stated that another thing discussed at the meeting in Groton was insurance. Lansing has lost their insurance as of July 1st. They put it out for bid and only had two responses and the increases • were sizable. Mr. Luster said we had talked a bit about putting it out for bid and thinks we should just sit tight. The problem in Lansing is the landfill. Another favorable factor in our situation, as indicated by Mr. Luster, is that we don't have our own fire service or ambulance - we pay for that indirectly through the fire budget - which went up about 25%. Discussion took place concerning the proposed fire budget, and the anticipated renovation of the fire building. Hearing no further business, the meeting was adjourned at 11 : 45 AM. Respectfully submitted, Paula J. Mount Deputy Town Clerk pm 1/ • TOWN OF ULYSSES • TENTATIVE BUDGET MEETING 1 October 1985 • Present: Martin Luster, Supervisor; Councilpeople Carolyn Duddleston, James Vorp, Robert Weatherby; Deputy Town Clerk Paula Mount. • Others Present: Tom Reitz, Catherine Stover, David Zimet, Doug • Duddleston, Geri Speich - Free Press, Edwin Brown, Joy Heila, Ellen Haith. Mr. Luster called the Special Meeting of the Board of the Town of • Ulysses to order at 8 : 00 PM. The purpose of the meeting is to consider the Tentative Budget which has been prepared and distributed to the Board, .. with copies available to the public. This is not a public hearing, that comes in November, but after the Board has gone through the budget, if there are no objections, the floor will be opened for any comments or suggestions - Mr. Luster stated that he would prefer to go through the budget first with the Board and get their comments, questions, etc. , first. Mr. Luster continued. As an overview - the Summary Sheet prepared by him indicates the major suggested changes, some are beyond our control, some are within our control. If the Tentative Budget becomes the Adopted Budget, we are looking at about a 5. 8% increase in Townwide tax rate - that is the increase that Village residents would pay and that comes out to about a $7. 00 increase on a fifty thousand dollar assessed valuation. It would also come out to a 2% increase for the part of the Town outside of the Village and that is because there' s actually a decrease in Part-Town rate and Mr. Luster will show that as the budget is looked at. You should add to that 2% increase the fire protection budget since that affects the area of the Town outside of the Village and if you factor that in, it comes out to an overall 4. 1% increase outside of the Village. That' s about $8. 00 on a fifty thousand dollar assessed valuation. ? The Tentative Budget is as follows: General Appropriations: Town Board A1010-01 no change in 01 line [01 line is always payroll or personnel services] 04 (contractual] modest increase - based upon latest budget stat report which shows a slight deficit based on last years budget. Justices A1110 based upon estimates given by Town Justices and basically shows no change. Supervisor A1220-01 Remains the same. Division same, $5, 000. fur Supervisor, $S, 000. tor bookkeeper. 04 decrease. taking some of those items and putting them in a new central category. Last year we centralized postage/mailing This year trying to centralize 02 lines- equipment. Audit A1320-04 there' s an unofficial reserve account- no provision in law to have a reserve for audit. Last year appropriated $1, 000. for audit, we did not use it, we put it aside, so this year suggesting we appro- priate $1, 500. which is last years unused $1, 000. plus $500. . $1, 500 should buy us an audit in 1986 for 1985. Tax Collector A1330-01 Mr. Luster indicated he had given to the Board a copy of the present Tax Collector' s estimate of her hours and time spent and duties. At $900. she made a $1. 55 an hour. He expects the hours will be fewer this year since some of the work she did this year was to update some computer lists. She has asked if we would consider minimum wage for her and that came out to twice what is being proposed here. So TOWN OF ULYSSES 1 itte --- TENTATIVE BUDGET MEETING 1 October 1985 Page 2 although it' s a substantial percentage increase I (Luster) think if we consider the hours spent and even cut down on the hours spent last year she' s still not going to be making minimum wage. Mr. Vorp asked how much of the hours • involved there is because she was new on the job. Mr. Luster replied it' s hard to say and asked what the total hours were- total 577. Carolyn Duddleston said the previous year was 408 hours. Mr. Vorp: you' re looking at 170 hours difference. ° Mr. Luster asked for suggestions and it was decided to come back to this ® item. Town Clerk A1410-01 01 line divided between Clerk and Deputy Clerk. Suggesting for Clerk $14, 750. and • for Deputy $5, 070. - represents a 10% increase in both over 1985. Mr. Luster asked Carolyn if she had figures for 1984 and the breakdown for 1985 was: • Clerk $13, 500. Deputy $4 , 500. 1984: Clerk $12, 000. Deputy $5, 475. The Clerk had suggested for that line a 20% increase = Mr. Luster is suggesting 10%. Attorney A1420 Remains same. Elections A1450 Brought down slightly - overhauled machines this year - won' t need to next. Buildings A1620 Suggesting an increase to cover some expenses we know we are going to have. Have a Capital Reserve Account for Bldgs. total in that fund is $16, 000. - adding $5, 000. bringing it to $21, 000. plus interest. Added some money to operating ling of bldg. realizing we are going to have work done in conjunction with the Capital Improvement. Increase in 01 line . reflects actual expenditures in 1985 - lot of work done on outside of building which had not been done in past - running behind ' on 01 line - thus increased rate. Print/Mailing A1620-02 Established centralized last year - remains same. 04 still have half of what was budgeted. Decreased to reflect actual expenditures made in 1985. Unal. Ins. A1910-04 reflects an anticipated increase in liability insurance premium as indicated by Joe Farrell. Nothing in writing. A little • ® over 40% increase is a guess on his part. We've had no claims. Mrs. Duddleston mentioned that Lansing had no claims and there insurance went up 60% - they have a land-fill and that is one of the reasons. Mun. Dues A1920 Remains same. Contin. A1990 Reduced from $8, 000. to $7, 000. to free up • $1, 000. to use it in other areas. So far this year we have not used any, but we know we owe money for the summer employment program. Dog Control A3510 Same as last year. Mrs. Duddleston attended a meeting of municipalities to discuss dog control problem in County and met in a TOWN OF ULYSSES MA TENTATIVE BUDGET MEETING '' 1 October 1985 Page 3 special session Saturday to discuss problem and will be recommending to the other municipalities they adopt the middle level contract with the SPCA for 1986 which comes out to something less that $6, 552 . [$5587. ] Since we don' t have a contract • it' s not firm. Human Ser. A4570 increase based upon request received from Ailene Beers from Human Services Coalition. Supt of Hghwy. A5010-01 reflects an increase of 6% which is same as suggested increase for highway crew. 04 reflects actual experience in 1985. Garage A5132 still have half of budget to be expended- .. thus reduced. • Street Lights A5182 Remains same. Veterans A6510 Remains same. Aging A6772 We get $1,300. back from NYS Office of Aging Youth A7310 Remains same. Covers contribution to UYU, Summer Rec. Program. Library A7410 Request for additional money.

Cemetaries A8810-01 this was moved last year from Highway to General Fund - estimated $1, 800. to care for cemetaries in the Town that are the • highway departments responsibility. r Reduced to $1, 000. 04 Reduced to $100. for gasoline. A9010 A9030 A9040 All fringe benefits that are calculated in accordance A9050 with estimates received from Joe Farrell regarding A9055 Workers Comp and Disability. Unemployment is a A9060 reserve account. • Cap. Imp. A9950 Reserve Account. This $5,000. is in • addition to what is already in there and will bring it up to $21 , 000. plus interest. • General Revenue Lieu of Taxes A1081 Money we receive under special contract with the County under their Industrial Dev.

Fines/dogs A2611 Increased slightly. NYS Per Capita A3001 the figure last year was based on info r from Albany and was not accurate. $37, 700. • is based on exact figures on a worksheet sent from Albany. More state aid that shows up in Part Town budget. NYS Mortg. Tax A3005 Continues to come in at a greater rate than . anticipated. Rises and falls with Real Estate activity in the Town. NYS Aging A3772 $1 , 300. back of the $2, 600. for contract with Recreation Program. NYS Youth A3820 we get back $3, 000 from State of our • $6, 000. Youth Budget. Rev. Shar. A5031 The two lines show what the intended use is. This is only part of Rev. Shar. The $5, 000. would be Rev. for this years • contribution to the Cap. Imp. Fund. The $3, 206. would go into unallocated insurance. Mr. Luster talked about Revenue Sharing. We don' t know if there will be • any in 1986 at all. Congress has not approved the budget for 1986. The latest rumor in Washington is 1986 municipalities will get what they • received in 1985 but in 1987 they will get zero. The program will stop ' after 1986. What I 've tried to do is to use Revenue Sharing money in ' soft' areas wherever possible. Of the anticipated $35 , 950. we already . have in hand $11, 206. Of the balance of $24, 744 . about half of that goes into ' soft' areas. Townwide Highway Appropriations: This is money charged to all residents of the Town including residents of the Village. This is in accordance with Jim Meeker' s estimates. No substantial changes. Mr. Luster suggesting a 6% increase across the board for the highway crew and that will be reflected in all 01 lines and that is really the only significant change along with the fringe benefits, in the Town Highway Fund. Capital Improvment A9950 State designation for that line number. That is our equipment reserve and Mr. Luster • suggesting add to the $10, 000. [right now we have $25, 000. in that Reserve] $13, 610. . That is Revenue Sharing money. If we get - - it that is where it will go, if we don' t get any, it doesn' t cut our operating budget - it cuts our reserve. Revenue Other Govern. DA2302 Money that Tompkins County pays us for maintaining and plowing their roads. Int/Earn DA2401 Decrease. ® Rev. Shar. DA5031 $13, 610. from Rev. Shar. to Townwide Highway fund for use in equipment reserve. Additional $3, 000. from Rev. Shar. earmarked for Highway Machinery. Highway Part Town - paid for by residents outside of the Village of Trumansburg. No major changes except for a 6% increase in salary across the board is reflected in 01 lines. Also FICA and Workers Comp reflect an increase. Revenue Int/Earn DB2401 Slightly reduced. Per Capita DB2'801 Split between Townwide and Part Town. Reflects this years increase in per capita aid. TOWN OF ULYSSES �� TENTATIVE BUDGET MEETING •- 1 October 1985 Page 5 CHIPS DB3501 Remains same. Rev. Shar DB5031 Appropriation from Rev. Shar. $10,000. for general rise in Highway Part Town Fund. Part Town Appropriation Fund - non-highway expenses paid for by the residents of Town outside of the Village. Contingent 81990 Increase. Have no reserve to be used for unanticipated expenditures.

B3620-01 Have a contract with Town of Ithaca that says we can utilize services of their inspector provided we pay to them all of our building fees; in addition we are to pay them 1/3 of those building fees.. We never budgeted in building fees we receive- however the 1/3 figure is our expense and • the $500. reflects 1/3 of the building fees . we anticipate receiving. 04 reduced to cover misc. expenses in connection with building inspector, particularly this sum is earmarked for a • Clerk to the building inspector. Zoning B8010-01 Increased in accordance with hours • anticipated being spent. Planning B8020 Increased by $300. It was asked if the Water District study had come out of this and the answer was Yes. Revenue Zoning Fees B2110 Same Plan Dist Fees B2115 Same Fire Permit Fees B2590 New line. We charge for inspecting install- ., ation of wood burning equipment. Reflects 20 inspections. Trail. Park Fees B2770 Same NYS Per Capita B3001 Increase according to formula sent to us by the State. NYS Bldg & Fire 83002 State Aid. Rev. Shar. B5031 Remains same. Fire Protection: Amount supplied to us by a contracted Fire Company. We cannot alter that figure. Reflects about a 25% increase as far as the ® Town of Ulysses share. Mr. Luster stated that the troublesome part is the cover letter which states that if should no building project be proposed by 1/1/86 another $25,000. for immediate repairs for the building will have to be added to the budget and also a Capital Fund of another $25, 000. should be started to allow a project to be undertaken at a later date to bring the building to current standards. Mr. Luster has written • to Mark Vann and explained that our budget has to be in place by November. - If they make changes they will have to wait until the following year to try to collect anything from us. It has been increased from $27,217. 00 to $33, 577. 00. The remaining items are Revenue Sharing Appropriation Fund and Revenue Fund. We expect $24 , 744 . 00 plus we have an unexpended balance of $11, 206. 00 so we anticipate a total Revenue Sharing Fund of $35, 950. 00. TOWN OF ULYSSES �� TENTATIVE BUDGET MEETING 1 October 1985 Page 6 Mr. Luster asked for comments or suggestions from the Board members. Mr. Vorp indicated he had comments regarding some of the salaries. He does not agree with $1 , 500. for the Tax Collector and suggested $1 , 300. Concerning the Town Clerk - when the Board first hired, realized that the pay was much lower than other Town Clerks in the County. Has been moved up slowly but Mr. Vorp doesn' t feel that our Town Clerk yet is up to where some other Clerks are expecially looking at the Village, where the assistant Clerk is making in the neighborhood of $16 , 000. 00. Mr. Vorp suggested raising the Town Clerk from $14 , 750. to $15, 000. to put her more in line with other Clerks. Mr. Vorp also suggested increasing the Deputy Clerk for the same reasons, to $5, 350. 00. Mrs. Duddleston proposed that the Deputy Clerk receive $6. 00 an hour which would put that to $5, 640. based on 940 hours. This would be the same fee the Planning Board pays their secretary/clerk. Discussion ensued. Mr. Luster pointed out that all we are doning now is budgeting an amount to be spent on the Deputy Clerk. This will not have any meaning unless there is a motion in January to increase the hourly rate. The $5, 640. would cover $6 . 00 an hour for sixteen hours per week. Mrs. Duddleston asked about legal fee expenses in the Town Board Contract- ual fund and would we have them again this year with the Water District? Mr. Luster responded that he thought we would. He indicated that there were two motions on the floor regarding the Deputy Clerk. Mr. Vorp moved, seconded by Mr. Weatherby to modify the Tax Collector appropriation from $1 , 500. 00 to $1, 300. 00. Discussion ensued. Adopted: Mr. Luster Aye Mr. Vorp Aye Mr. Weatherby Aye Mrs. Duddleston Aye Mr. Vorp moved, seconded by Mrs. Duddleston to increase the Town Clerk' s salary from proposed $14, 750. 00 to $15 , 000. 00. Adopted: Mr. Luster Aye Mr. Vorp Aye Mr. Weatherby Aye Mrs. Duddleston Aye Mr. Vorp motioned, seconded by Mr. Weatherby to increase the Deputy Town Clerk' s budget line from $5,070.00 to $5, 500. 00 with an anticipated increase in hourly rate to be made in January at the organizational meeting. Adopted: Mr. Luster Aye Mr. Vorp Aye Mr. Weatherby Aye Mrs. Duddleston Opposed • Mr. Luster commented that if Revenue Sharing is discontinued we will be without $25, 000. which we have become use to. By dividing this money between working accounts and reserve accounts , we should be able to accommodate that without a great deal of pain. Mr. Luster entertained comments and suggestions from the floor. We can make further changes tonight or wait until the Public Hearing. Mr. Zimet spoke. Thinks the Town is lucky to have competent people, given that some positions are grossly underpaid and he commented, as a resident of the Town, that he feels that the Tax Collector is grossly underpaid and doesn' t think $1, 500. fee out of line when you consider the responsibility and amount of money handled. Again, with the responsibilities and amount of varied types of knowledge that fill the duties of the Clerk and her Deputy, the original request is not out of line for the type of work. Seven and Six dollars per hour is not out of _ . TOWN OF ULYSSES ' ' t ' r TENTATIVE BUDGET MEETING 1 1 October 1985 ' Page 7 line for the responsibilities and he feels that the Board should keep that in mind. Tom Reitz spoke in agreement with Mr. Zimet. He stated that he knows the starting salary for a person out of school entering Cornell as a typist is $6. 00 per hour. For the responsibilities the Clerk and Deputy Clerk have, that' s a rock bottom price. • Mr. Reitz also questioned work needed on the building. He asked where the $10, 000. would come from to do this work. Mr. Luster stated from the Reserve Account which right now is $16, 000. plus. He asked that everyone turn to the Summary page. Referred to the column 'Less Unexpended Balance' . This is our projection of what 0 we will have' left from each fund at the end of the year if we spend everything we say we are going to spend, and get everything we are suppose to get in. We will still have $44,300. left over at the end of the year. You can use unexpended balances within that fund. That $14, 000. is somewhat underestimated in anticipation of using a portion in 1985 for some of these appropriations, particularly $2, 500. for a furnace. We do have a reserve fund we can go to and also have a Contingency Fund. As far as 1986, we have $2, 000. in 02 line plus a reserve account. Mr. Reitz asked under General Revenue - NYS Youth - asked for a breakdown of where those monies go. Mr. Luster stated that it is appropriated to Ulysses Youth Unlimited, their youth service program and the Summer Recreation Program Joy Heila questioned the SPCA. It was explained that the SPCA will respond to calls but will not have daily patrols. A representative from the SPCA will attend the next meeting of the Board in October. Mr. Luster indicated that increases shown on the cover sheet will vary somewhat because of suggested changes by the Board. The percentage change will increase slightly. If this budget is adopted as it stands right now a tax payer in the Village of Trumansburg will pay approximately $8. 50 on a fifty thousand dollar assessment and a non-village resident will pay about $8. 00 on the same assessment. Mr. Luster announced that there will be a Budget Hearing on November 7th, further changes can be made at that time. Action on the Budget will be taken at the Regular Town Board Meeting on the third Tuesday of November. Mr. Vorp asked if there is a chance that the Fire Department will change their budget by then. Mr. Luster read a letter that he had just sent to Mark Vann, regarding our budget deadline. Hearing no further comments, Mrs. Duddleston moved, seconded by Mr. Weatherby to adjourn the meeting. Unanimously approved, the meeting . was adjourned at 9: 25 PM. Respectfully submitted, • Paula J.

Mr. Luster called the meeting of the Town Board of the Town of Ulysses to order at 8: 00 PM and led those assembled in the Pledge of Allegiance to the Flag of the United States of America. Mrs. Duddleston moved, seconded by Mr. Herrick to approve the minutes of the Regular Board Meeting of September 17th; the Special Meeting of September 20th; and the Special Meeting of October 1st. Unanimously approved. The Trumansburg Fire Department report was given (see copy attached) . Mr. Vann stated that the Fire Company had put together their budget and would meet to discuss if necessary. Mr. Luster said he had written a letter regarding the proposed budget and the possible additional expenditure of twenty-five or fifty thousand dollars. We have calculated our budget without either of those expenses. Mr. Vann said that at this point that is most feasible. They are moving ahead on the building and expressed appreciation of the the Town' s interest. Mike Costello, Attorney for the SPCA, was in attendance to discuss arrangements for the coming year. He is also a Board member of the SPCA which is purely a volunteer group. They are in the midst of changing directors, the new one will be starting Monday, October 14th. About six to eight weeks ago the SPCA sent out letters to the Towns, summarizing what they feel they need in this years Dog Control contract with the Towns. It talks about three options: 1) Basic Dog Control plan includes the pick up of dogs/special patrols and issuance of appearance tickets. Along with the basic contract there are two options offered: . 1) extra fee to ' talk to owner' 2) SPCA to send cards to unlicensed dog owners/reminders In the past, these were included as part of the contract. The Town of Ulysses has been averaging four to five ' talk to owners' per month. The reminder letters are sent to people who have not renewed their dog lecenses. The third major option we are offering is the Delux Dog Control package. It includes everything for the price of $9, 500. 00 . Regular patrols would be exluded if the other package is choosen. The SPCA will only come out if called on a complaint. The SPCA has been losing money over the past years. Dog Control is very expensive, not only for the SPCA but for the Towns. If the Town takes the basic service and the additional two options, it will cost $5, 558. 00, which is approximately $1, 000. less than the present contract. The SPCA needs a significant number of Towns to buy into the contract so they can afford to keep the process going. If too many Towns bow out, there is the possibility the SPCA won' t be able to do dog control at all. Mr. Luster asked if they require a concensus among the Towns who contract with the SPCA as to level of service? Mr. Costello said if all Towns go for the basic service they will continue to run it. Mr. Herrick asked if the SPCA is asking for a uniformed service for all Towns? Mr. Costello replied No. TOWN OF ULYSSES O REGULAR TOWN BOARD MEETING 8 October 1985 Page 2 _, Mrs. Duddleston asked what would happen if the SPCA received twenty calls a week with the basic service? Mr. Costello doesn ' t anticipate that type of activity and the SPCA is willing to take that chance. Mrs. Duddleston asked if there will be a limit to the number of calls? Mr. Costello replied No. . Mrs . Duddleston asked about the future - if more Towns drop out - does the SPCA stop dog control? Mr. Costello replied it could. He doesn' t anticipate it happening. Will know before January 1 how many Towns `>: are going to be interested if and service will he continued. They would •- like to continue as dog control officers because the humane function is closely tied in with the dog control function. Mrs. Georgia asked how soon a person who calls in could expect an • ® answer? Mr. Costello said there would be no priorities. They have two vans running. Mr. Luster mentioned that this was discussed at the Special Meeting on • September 28th and he moved that the Board indicate to the SPCA that we intend to contract with them for 1986 at the level which includes the ' talk to owner' and reminder letter options, but not to include the delux service. We are not resolving to contract with the SPCA, we are resolving to indicate that that is our intention, and until we receive • the contract we don' t have a firm resolution. The price is $5, 558. 00. The motion was seconded by Mr. Herrick. .. It was asked what the delux package cost and was answered $9, 500 . 00. Mr. Owlett stated that he understood that if some of the Towns didn' t contract the service would stop. Mr. Costello said that in some ways that was correct - if there were two large townships withdrawing, they couldn't financially continue. He does not see that happening. Mr. Luster said that if all Towns would respond as to their position I we could know by November or December if the program will be available. Mr. Herrick asked if it was possible that we should be seeking assistance of our Representative as to a County service for this? Mr. Costello stated that the SPCA did have a contract with the County two years ago. . Mr. Mason stated that under the Ag and Markets Law the SPCA was designated at the County Dog Control Officer which gave the SPCA people peace-officer status in order to issue summons. How is that being handled now? Mr. Costello replied that the SPCA only responds in localities not having a contract in humane fashion, not as dog control _ officers. Hearing no further discussion, the motion on the floor was voted as follows: Mr. Luster Aye Mr. Weatherby Aye Mrs. Duddleston Aye • Mr. Herrick Aye Adopted. Mr. Luster asked Mr. Costello to indicate to the SPCA Board that we intend to go for the $5, 558 , coverage subject, of course, to the contract. • Mr. Luster invited the two representatives from the State Department Iof Environmental Conservation to introduce themselves. Mr. Alan Roland, Syracuse and Mr. Alton Knapp, Albany. They are here to present findings of the preliminary flood insurance study prepared for the Federal Emergency Management Agency. Mr. Roland stated that currently this community is in the emergency phase of the program and all communities must convert to the regular phase. By converting to the regular phase there are some insurance implications and changes. The insurance limits are increased for people in the flood hazard area and new structures built after the effective date of this study will be reated based on their elevation. Following this meeting tonight, the Federal Emergency Management Agency will publish twice in your local paper, a preliminary flood elevation for the community and following the second publication of that notice, f. TOWN OF ULYSSES REGULAR TOWN BOARD MEETING 8 October 1985 Page 3 will start a 90 day appeals period at which time any interested community members can look at the maps , and if they have any appeals based on scientific fact, can make an appeal through the community to the Federal Emergency Management Agency. The community officials should also look at the map and make sure all streets are labeled correctly and in right locations and that they are all shown. If any discrepancies, they should also be submitted to FEMA for the final printing of the map. Also, if there are any areas that you know are flood prone and are not shown on the map, bring to the attention of FEMA. Following the 90 day appeal period, if none are received, there will be two additional notifications published which will be the final flood elevation notification. Following that notification there will be a letter sent from the FEMA office which will notify you that your flood elevation has been finalized and that will start a six month period in which time the Town has to adopt certain regulations that meet the minimum Federal criteria for entrance into the regular phase of the program. Essentially, the regulations pertain to the shaded areas on the maps. Mr. Roland said to ask questions as he goes along. Hand-outs were distributed. One hand-out is a model ordinance-this is what is called a ' level B' ordinance; which is an ordinance which currently should be in effect in the community and this ordinance is to be used for communities that do not have any flood elevation, but have just approx- imate flood plan areas. This gives you a legal hold on the regulations of your flood plan areas and the best available information. Mr. Luster asked what the effect is of not having such a law in effect now pending moving along with the rest of this process? Mr. Roland said you could potentially be hit with a development in the flood plan areas which could dramatically change your flood plan areas affecting people that weren' t flooded. Mr. Zimet thought there was something passed in 1972. Mr. Knapp said only problem with that is that Federal regulations were changed in 1976. All communities were informed of those changes and required to pass a legally enforceable regulation at that time. Basically without the 'B level' regulations in effect at this time, you are in non-compliance with a Federally mandated program. If the Federal Government wanted to, they could suspend you from the program, denying the availability of flood insurance. I would recommend that since the study process takes about twelve months to complete, it may be in the best interest of the Town, to, if they have not enacted these regulations prior to this , to give consideration to enacting those regulations on an interim basis. Mr. Luster asked what the date of the revised requirements, so we can check our records. Mr. Knapp said October 1976 and you probably would have responded to that sometime early in 1977. Mr. Herrick asked if there would have been a second set of maps prepared at that time for review and correction? Mr. Knapp stated that as far as he knows, the current map is 1974 and that is the only map that the Town has received. That would be the map that you should currently be regulating all construction in the flood hazard area, based on the previous map until this one takes its place. A question was asked about the 90 day appeal period. If appeals are received would that put the 90 day time period on hold? Mr. Roland replied Yes, all appeals received based on scientific data, the appeal period is then extended until determination is finalized by FEMA. Mr. Luster asked to back up. The major impact of this entire program, as he understands it, is number one, to allow homeowners in the flood prone areas federall guaranteed flood insurance at rates lower than they could obtain privately [if there is such a thing privately] and also to ensure Federal Disaster Aid in the event that it becomes necessary. Are we in jeopardy of not having Federal Aid available in the event of a natural disaster if we do not enact interim regulations? Mr. Roland replied, if FEMA suspends the community - Yes. TOWN OF ULYSSES 1 REGULAR TOWN BOARD MEETING 8 October 1985 Page 4 . Mr. Luster asked if they would suspend us before or after the storm. ,r Mr. Knapp stated that normally they would not suspend you after the , storm, but one of the problems that you get into is without those regulations in effect you have no way to mitigate potential during reconstruction: in other words, no regulations to implement and that . can cause you problems. Also, another situation can arise that if you get construction or encroachment into the flood hazard areas you cannot control, it can cause adverse effects on adjacent property and some potential there for litigation. s' i Mr. Luster asked what types of things can be raised on appeal by individual homeowners? Mr. Roland replied that someone could appeal the fact that the elevation of the lake is wrong; or somebody could provide data along these unnumbered 'A zones' that shows the topography ® may have been changed previous to this map, which could change the `�' flooding situation. Mr. Herrick stated there might even be a question as to the accuracy of definition of these 'A zones ' , which was the case when we revised the map, probably back in 1974 , because maps were sent to us for review, requesting revision, and we did; because some of our areas were obviously well out of the flood hazard area, they were maybe adjacent a stream but enough above the stream there was no risk of flooding. • Mr. Roland responded in a situation like that, well away from a flooding tributary, then we could come out and take a look at that and based on our field investigation recommend removal in that case. Again, if there are any other flooding areas that are not shown, you should also bring those to our attention. Mr. Luster asked if the interim regulations set forth elevations below which construction cannot occur or is that only the final? Mr. Roland said the final set of regulations would have that. The interim don' t refer to absolute elevations. Mr. Knapp said basically what would happen in this case - the lake elevations become the best information available and the interim regulations do obligate the Town to regulate based on the best information - available. Since those elevations have been adopted by adjacent communities, then you would be obligated to utilize that. Mr. Zimet asked from a practical matter, you look at this map and somebody is doing work on a lake property and they want to know if they are in a flood district; how do you decide? Mr. Roland said it' s based on elevation. Mr. Zimet said 386 feet is what you have at the lake, so if something is 3 feet above that Mr. Roland said it' s not in the flood hazard area. Mr. Zimet asked what if it' s on one of the tributaries and it is 15 feet above the lake but only 11 feet above a tributary? Mr. Roland said obviously you could be subject to flooding, however in most of those • cases, they were unable to determine the actual risk without going into a very expensive study - they could have designated every body of water, by approximates and forced individuals into buying insurance, but unless you have some historical information to go on you are really shooting in the dark when trying to designate this, so insurance is I available throughout the Town so that you don' t have to be located in one of the flood hazard areas to utilize the insurance. • Mr. Zimet said he understood that; leading up to a situation we had several months ago, when somebody wanted to build a house over a stream. I called FEMA and stated this could cause quite a problem and they told me this doesn' t have anything to do with it. Mr. Roland said you have a valid point. There is nothing to stop the Town from being more restrictive. There is nothing to stop the Town from designating boundaries and regulating accordingly. Mr. Herrick said that' s been the case in the past. If there was any area not defined by whatever authority prepared the map, we considered to be a hazard area, we could so state. MOSS ' RE OF ULYSSES I REGULAR LAR TOWN BOARD MEETING v.: 8 October 1985 Page 5 Mr. Roland said this is one of the options you have. They designate a space on what they have knowledge of, either through previous meeings with the Town or historical information from geological survey. Mr. Herrick said based on what he recalled, this is a lot more generous and seems more sensible than what we had because previously every tribu- tary and stream was designated and it was ridiculous. Pointed out also, • if one sees a risk concerning his own property he might buy the hazard insurance. As long as the community is approved for the insurance , suppose he could buy it if he lives on top of a mountain. Mr. Roland said definitely. Also, buy not being in a designated flood hazard area but by being in this case ' zone X or C' [most reasonable areas for the premium] . For example, right now in the emergency phase • ® of the program, everybody pays the same rate - 450 per $100 . coverage on a single family structure. Once you get into the regular program, then you are actuarially rated. The existing structures prior to the date of the finalized form, will always be able to benefit from the subsidized rate, all new structures go by their elevation. Those people in ' zone X or C' , their premium may drop to 150 or 200 a $100. ; that is because FEMA knows insurance is needed, don' t know what the risk is, but will make the insurance available and charge a reasonable •. premium to encourage those people to at least cover themselves. Mr. Knapp said there is also a change in the amount of coverage - _ in the emergency phase it is $35, 000. 00 per structure and that increases to $185, 000. per structure. Mr. Zimet stated that if a person wants to build a house in this area - don' t have any elevations, but it looks pretty clear, and a few years down the road it' s flooded out, what' s my liability and,what' s the liability of the Town? Mr. Roland said there are two points: 1) in the unnumbered 'A zones ' or the approximate areas, you are really utilizing the best information you have available, which may be very little in ® some cases, or historical data, or you can go back and utilize information from insurance rating of these zones; basically, it' s a recommendation - the recommendation for building in an unnumbered 'A zone' is to elevate the total structure including basement 2 to 4 feet above the highest adjacent grade on the site. By doing that, you are getting it up where it will be affected at a lesser degree than if you build down by the stream. If it' s a major sub-division that impacts that particular stream or adjacent area, then if it' s more than five acres or 50 lots you get into the requirements for hydraulic analysis by the developer. Mr. Knapp added that since the actual rating, if it' s built on a slab - for instance, it would rate a low score. Then we get back to the question of liability added Mr. Zimet. Mr. Knapp said any code enforcement officer has a degree of liability for any of his actions. You work the program to the best capability, placing where you can the burden of proof on the individual. Mr. Herrick asked what if you stay away from specifics as far as construction and simply recommended the purchase of flood insurance? Mr. Knapp said that is alright, however his insurance rate might get fairly expensive. Mr. Roland added as a condition of many mortgages, flood insurance is required in a flood hazard area. Mr. Zimet asked if there is a question as to whether it is in a flood hazard zone - can I get any help from you? Mr. Knapp said Federal regulations state that it is the lending institutions responsibility to determine whether real property is or is not located within a Federal designated flood area. Mr. Herrick stated that lending institutions call the Town offices and ask the Town Clerk. Mr. Knapp added that many of the lending institutions have found that it is easiest for them to call the Town Clerk and ask if this property is in or out of a flood zone. It depends on the institution on what form of certification they will accept. TOWN OF ULYSSES 13 ' REGULAR TOWN BOARD MEETING 8 October 1985 Page 6 Mr. Zimet asked that if he has someone putting on an addition who has a house located ten feet above the lake, with a stream crossing behind the house with a higher elevation than the house and he doesn' t feel comfortable making a decision on this - what does he do? Mr. Knapp said that in that particular case, if there is no Zone A you have no require- ment to issue a permit. Even if it is right beside the stream or setting in the stream, if it is not designated a Zone A, the regulations would not allow you to issue a permit, unless you make your regulations more restrictive. In other words, your flood plain management regulations (if in existence) only apply in the A Zone. Looking at the map, Mr. Zimet said, it would be a judgment call as to whether it is in an A Zone or not. Mr. Herrick added that when you look at the areas (on the flood map) it is very difficult to determine IIIwhether a particular building site is in or out of the area. Mr. Knapp said that it really comes down to, in some cases, that you actually have to go out and visit the site. Looking at it and saying OK based on the information I have here (flood map) and anything else gathered, does it look like that structure is in the flood hazard area. Obviously there will be a time when someone says that it shows them in the flood area but they are 20 feet above the stream. What has to be done is a process that that individual can supply information to the regional office of FEMA in New York City and ask for a "letter of map amendment" . Basically if the financial institution wanted that individual •� to benefit from the premium on the flood insurance, they would set a condition for the mortgage. Even though it is 20 feet above the stream he is still in flood hazard area. The "letter of map amendment" is a letter back to the homeowner saying that we have determined that the property was wrongly designated and shown to the bank - they will help. Mr. Knapp went on to say that this program is not meant to be dropped on • municipalities and the State runs away. They will try through the regional directors such as Mr. Roland, to make technical assistance available to the individual vested with the responsibility for managing this program and also to any other residents or board members as far as meeting the requirements of the program. He is available by phone or • if a site needs to be looked at they will do that. If the Town has a difficult call in a flood zone or out they are more than willing to help. • Mr. Luster asked to have repeated what the next thing we can expect to happen, assuming we do our homework, and if we need to up-date regulations and etc. , what is the next thing the Town can expect? Mr. Roland said that first of all, before you get beyond the regulations, there is another model regulations that he will give the Town and that would cover the study when it' s finalized. During that six month period, you [Town] would have to adopt that set of regulations, then you would • gain entrance to the regular phase of the program. • Mr. Luster asked if there were three sets of regulations or two? Mr. . �: Roland said there are two sets; the one I just gave you would be an interium and at any time between the finalization, and the six month period, you would adopt the other set, what we call Model C, and that would refer in that to your lake elevation. • Mr. Knapp said that the next thing that will happen will be after the meeting tonight, they will send a report into Washington. They will send the notice to the newspapers. The second publication will start Lhe 90 day appeals period. Tf no appeals are received, about one month after the expiration of the 90 day appeals period, you will receive a letter notifying you of the final elevations, it will again be published twice in the paper and you will have six months from the date of the letter to adopt the regulations you will be sent - and they will be the final regulations. The basic difference between these regulations and the ones you will be adopting are the fact that it recognizes the completion of the study and it obligates you to regulate to the elevations listed. Mr. Luster asked in terms of the appeals process - as he understood it there is no hearing process, there is an appeal process: which means it is up to the individuals involved to make their gripes known, and assumes there is nothing that prohibits the Town bringing this to their attention TOWN OF ULYSSES ANINI REGULAR TOWN BOARD MEETING 8 October 1985 Page 7 beyond the legal requirements of the legal ad. Mr. Herrick added that also there is an appeals procedure even beyond time of enactment of the regulations and Mr. Knapp said that was correct. Mr. Zimet asked how long it would take? For the Federal Government, Mr. Knapp stated, it is not too bad - about fourteen days. We have actually worked these through (they are handled at the regional level] for an individual in about two weeks. Mr. Luster asked if the Town is given any direct notification of the time of publication of the beginning of the appeals process and the answer was Yes. 1, 410 Mr. Zimet asked about all the people on the lake who don' t live in the Town or County during the year. Would a direct mail (expense of) be assumed by the Town? Mr. Knapp said if the Town proposes to do that, Yes. However, the Town is not obligated to do so. Mr. Luster said the problem is that we have a large absentee ownership in that area and they are just not going to know about it. Mr. Roland added that as part of the regulations, the Town will be required to monitor development in the flood hazard areas and will be required to issue permits for any type of development - that includes anything, from filling, paving, drilling up to building a structure. They gave Mr. Zimet a model permit form. Mr. Zimet stated that you are telling us that if a farmer wants to put a pond in one of these Zones and Mr. Roland stated - definitely. Mr. Knapp added that in classified streams any action requires the issuance of an Article 15 Permit by his department. This does not negate the necessity of a parallel permit being issued by the Town. And in addition, Mr. Luster added, if it' s a Classified Wetland, you ® have a third permit. That' s correct stated Mr. Knapp. When our department reviews an action for its impact on stream protection, wetlands, whatever, it does not look at it from its impact on flood plains because that is a local program. Mr. Roland said they have gotten regulatory people in their o:fi_e3 who are familiar with his existence in the program and they do quite regularly let him know of actions that may require a local permit, so if that does come through, he can try to head this off. Mr. Knapp added that it is not a mandatory thing, it' s solely a recommendation and you can use it if you feel it can be useful. Mr. Luster asked what the process is State-wide of converting from the emergency phase to the regular phase. Mr. Knapp stated that they have been working away at it for many years and are getting down to bottom of the line where we fully expect more than 95% of the communities to be in the regular program by the end of this next federal year. Mr. Roland distributed various forms and added that part of the total package for this study includes this narrative which goes into flooding • history and background. Sometime after the finalization, entrance into the regular program, you will be sent a supply of these maps. ® Mr. Reitz questioned the building of roads. Mr. Knapp said the Department of Transportation has been renowned for its encroachments in the flood plain and for that reason, the State of New York has developed a set of State Facility Regulations which prevents the DOT or any other State agency from coming into your Town and building a bridge which causes a flood problem that was non-existent before. At this time Mr. Roland offered his assistance in carrying out the entire procedure. Mr. Luster said the defect in the process that he can see, is that that comes after the real opportunity to make changes has occurred. We have to pass this public law and we have to hold a Public Hearing to pass the Local Law; and we can hear complaints, but at that point it' s too late TOWN or ULYSSES iell REGULAR TOWN BOARD MEETING 8 October 1985 Page 8 ' because the 90 day review period has gone by and all we can say is ' sorry' . ,I . Mr. Roland said that if you do desire and feel there are other interested people that would be affected by this who are not present - if you were . to have a public informational meeting, I could attend one of those. You are not locked out of appeals totally after the finalization of this . If there is evidence shown after the finalization that would warrant a change, an appeal can be made. Mr. Knapp added even to the „: extent that if you found something major, you can always ask for a ® re-study. Mr. Luster asked if there were further comments by the Board or others, and hearing none, thanked Mr. Roland and Mr. Knapp for attending the meeting. James Mason, Rep. to the Tompkins County Board of Representatives, reported that he had met earlier in the afternoon with the Board of Representatives and had discussion as to where to put the Department of Social Services. The Morse Chain building on South Hill is under serious consideration. There are two different proposals being set forth for Morse Chain and two different buildings. it has been turned back to four committees for review. Still have a long way to go on this issue. The Board had a slide/tape presentation from the Department of Social Services of a good concise overview of what the Department does, who . they serve, how they go about it and so on. This presentation is ' available to Towns and municipalities. The presentation gives you a better feel and you are able to put the department in a better perspec- tive. The number of families being served; 860 families receive aid _. to dependent children, under 700 families receiving home relief, 5, 500 people in Tompkins County receiving Medicaid (most expensive program) there are 5, 000 individuals who are receiving food stamps. Food Stamps ® is the only one that overlaps the other programs. The Board also heard a report regarding the Odyssey Research Corp (computer business) expressing their interest in leasing some space in the old hospital. They would like to get between ten and twelve ' thousand square feet. Mr. Mason feels the Board is moving towards an agreement and will be leasing some of that space. A substantial amount of space will be committed at least on a temporary basis. An additional point - the rest of the County will be in the same boat as Ulysses starting the 15th when the landfill closes and all will be - . trucked to Spencer. Contract and closure costs will be extremely high. Bids will be opened the 18th for the new jail. Over twenty-five con- tractors have requested plans, hopefully this means some competitive • prices. If things go according to plan, bids opened on the 18th, review „ by the Board and action. on the 22nd. Mrs. Duddleston asked if there was anything on Dog Control from the County. Mr. Mason replied a couple of things have transpired - one Public Safety and Corrections Commission have reviewed their proposed • budget for animal control other than dogs and has approved their budget request of $20, 000 (up $1, 500 from last year) , however the committee has put a hold on the allocation of those funds pending a report from the SPCA stating that they are capable of filling the contract, because II there are some very serious concerns on part of the County that if any more Towns drop out of the Dog Control business, that the SPCA will not be able to afford to continue, other than Dog Control services. The County needs some reassurances, and have appointed someone to work with them to come up with a way to resolve this problem. Very complex, and more Towns that drop out obviously more difficult that responsibility . - is. Mr. Mason feels the County is making progress with the SPCA. TOWN OF ULYSSES 131 REGULAR TOWN BOARD MEETING 8 October 1985 Page 9 • r Mr. Luster entertained a motion to approve Claims #363-392 for a total of $9, 090. 33 . Carolyn Duddleston moved, seconded by Robert Herrick to approve these claims. Adopted: Mr. Luster Aye Mrs. Duddleston Aye Mr. Herrick Aye Mr. Weatherby Aye Mr. Luster distributed to the Board the monthly Cash Flow Statement as well as the Quarterly Summary Statement and the Budget Status Report. No comments or questions. OLD BUSINESS: Mr. Luster reported on the Jacksonville Water situation. The third • round of testing has been completed, with results by next week. DOT will locate sites for test wells to help them determine the extend of the problem and also help to detect the source of pollution. DOT is not at all convinced one of the houses affected that was found in the last testing is a Mobil product. They don' t know where it is coming from so DOT is footing the bill for bottled water for that house. • Based on results of the last round of tests, we will know whether or not we can start looking for a solution to the problem or if further testing is necessary. If results this time are consistant, we can go from there. If there are discrepancies, there would likely be a further round of testing. • Mr. Reitz asked who took responsibility for storage tanks for garages, etc. Mr. Luster thinks the ultimate answer is the State, but by the time the State gets into it we have a problem. Mr. Luster received a letter from the Deputy Assessor of the County who requested a list of homes affected with a view towards reducing assessed • IIvaluation. Mr. Luster stated that the Board had a meeting of September 28th to discuss building work. Prior to that, Bob Weatherby reported on an estimate given us by Dennis Shehan. On the 28th the Board resolved l to seek further estimates for that work and since that time we have heard from Mr. Shehan, who raised an objection; saying his bid was open • and now his competitors can bid. It is a question of fairness. Mr. Weatherby stated that he had asked for estimates not a bid price. He indicated he had contacted another electrical contractor, but had not received a bid. Mr. Luster stated that Dennis has a valid complaint, on the other hand he would like to know we are getting a fair price. Mr. Meeker suggested hiring an electrical engineer, getting plans drawn up and putting it out for bid. Discussion took place. Mrs. Duddleston pointed out the time factor - we are in violation. Mr. Luster entertained a motion to adopt a resolution to retain the services of a professional engineer on how to do the electrical/contruction and to draw up specifications. Mr. Weatherby moved, there was no second. Discussion ensued and Mr. Luster suggested the Building Chairman come up with a couple of engineers names. Mr. Weatherby withdrew his motion. Will wait and have a Special Meeting after other estimates are received. Mr. Luster announced that there is to be a Solid Wantc Disposal Informa- tional Forum on October 24th at 7: 30 PM at the Court House. This is open to the public. He has also received a copy of a resolution passed by the County Board concerning Solid Waste, which permits localities that do have facilities to be held harmless by the County in the event of any liability. Does not impact on us. In line with various Town Hall improvements, Mr. Luster stated that Mrs. Georgia, Town Clerk, has researched various telephone systems that might accommodate our offices better than the current, out-of- date system we now have. ' OWN OF ULYSSES REGULAR TOWN BOARD MEETING / 31/ 8 October 1985 Page 10 Mrs . Georgia reviewed the two different proposals. One - Comalert is $2, 400. and the other proposal from Mr. Shehan is $2 , 900. 00. Mr. Zimet gave background on the current system. Discussion took place. Mr. Luster indicated there is enough money in the present budget without affecting our surplus to cover this. Mr. Luster asked Mrs. Georgia and Mr. Zimet to compare the two systems and report at the next meeting. Will also research lesser systems and compare. An additional agenda item was brought up by Mr. Luster. Richard Montgomery had brought to his attention the fact that although our ® Board had adopted a resolution requiring the Town to hold harmless any Town officers that are sued in performance of official duties - our resolution does not specify that our offer to hold Town officials as harmless to include any actions brought under so-called Civil Rights Statutes. That resolution has to be specific. This will be brought • back next month. Reports: Mrs. Georgia, Town Clerk reported fees collected for the month of September was $2, 502. 50 of which $341. 75 was turned over to the Super- visor. A total of $65. 00 was turned over to the Town of Ithaca for Building Permits. Mr. Meeker, Highway Superintendent, reported (see attached) . Mr. Zimet, Zoning Officer reported two permits were issued. He traveled 122 miles. Also mentioned that one bulding request for Hinging Post Road had been received. Mr. Luster asked Mr. Zimet to notify that person that it is the intention ' of the Board, at least this year, to make Hinging Post Road a seasonal road again. Mr. Luster read Mr. Cartee' s Building Inspector' s Report (see attached) . Mr. Snedeker, Fire Inspector reported that he had issued one CC and has three permits pending.

Present: Martin Luster, Supervisor; Tom Reitz , John Hubbard, Council- people Carolyn Duddleston, James Vorp and Robert Weatherby; Marsha Georgia, Town Clerk. Mr. Weatherby introduced John Hubbard and asked him to proceed. Mr. Hubbard stated he had drawn up an estimate for a new furnace and the product name - Thermopride. The reason for this brand is because there ® is a life-time warranty on the heat exchangers and the Town should never have to buy another furnace. Product literature was distributed. It is a gas furnace; high efficiency unit. It is not a condensing unit. The price is $1, 960. 00 installed. This includes removal of the old unit and using existing duct work. When asked when the work could be done Mr. Hubbard replied in one to two weeks. Must order the unit. Only problem would be with NYSE&G. They have to visit the site and then come back after installation, and that is a problem. Mr. Luster indicated that the building has a wiring problem as well • and when the furnace is hooked up are we going to run into problems with NYSE&G? Mr. Hubbard said that brings up the question of are you replacing the existing color panel or just the wiring throughout the building? Mr. Weatherby said the inspection showed the panel can stay where it is. The new furnace, according to Mr. Hubbard, will be much smaller. It will be wired to National Code and will pass any inspection. Mr. Weatherby asked about thermostats. Mr. Hubbard said it would include one new thermostat - all you can do with warm air heat is one central zone. When asked about a timer, Mr. Hubbard said it can be done. Would cost about $75. 00 for a daily thermostat. Mr. Luster asked if it was necessary and Mr. Hubbard explained that if the thermostat can be set back ten degrees for at least eight hours a day, you will save ten percent on total fuel bill. Discussion took place. Mr. Hubbard said there is a one year warranty on parts and labor. The manufacturer supplies all replacement parts - the customer pays for freight. Mr. Reitz asked how long this company has been in business and Mr. Hubbard replied since 1946. Mr. Hubbard added that the efficiency of the unit won' t be up to its full potential because the work has not been done on the building. He brought this to the Board' s attention because the efficiency aspect of the furnace was addressed after the building is renovated. Only way to get around this is to perhaps put up plastic, which would help. Mr. Reitz asked what would happen if the furnace failed to go on and pipe froze? Mr. Hubbard said no matter if the unit is new or old, this can be a possibility. One suggestion, and it costs money, but it is good insurance, is to contract with Comalert and have a sensor in the building. If the furnace runs too hot or too cold it will automate an alert to the Comalert office in Buffalo and they will call you and tell you there is • a problem. One other option is a vent damper - which is not included in the price. Does not add much to the efficiency and runs about $300. 00. Mr. Hubbard does not really advise this. Mr. Luster thanked Mr. Hubbard for his presentation. Some discussion took place regarding the other two proposals received and Mr. Luster asked if the Board wanted to take action. TOWN OF ULYSSES iS • SPECIAL BOARD MEETING 15 October 1985 Page 2 Mr. Weatherby moved, seconded by Mrs. Duddleston to accept the Hubbard estimate for the Thermapride furnace at the cost of $1 , 960. 00. Mr. Vorp asked that the Honeywell clock thermostat at the additional cost of $75. 00 be added. Adopted: Mr. Luster Aye • Mrs. Duddleston Aye Mr. Weatherby Aye • Mr. Vorp Aye • Mr. Luster asked Mrs. Georgia to give Mr. Hubbard a call and ask him to send us a contract. Discussed the possibility of selling the old furnace and was decided to have it moved to the Town Barns for the time • being. Mr. Weatherby will notify the other two firms who submitted estimates • for a furnace. Discussion ensued concerning weatherizing the front of the building. • Mrs. Georgia suggested a drip edge outside the building; studding up the two interior front walls, insulating and paneling the inside walls. • Wait a year or two before considering windows in the front and for a small expenditure, the one major energy problem would be solved. Mr. Luster asked if the Board wanted to act on front window situation. It was decided, after some discussion, to have one person and get it done. Mr. Luster moved, seconded by Mrs. Duddleston to have Robert Weatherby make the contact, set it up and report back before final go ahead, and get this project started. Approved: Mr. Luster Aye Mrs. Duddleston Aye Mr. Weatherby Aye Mr. Vorp Aye Mr. Luster asked about the wiring and where we stood on that. Mr. Weatherby said he hasn' t done any more concerning it. Mr. Vorp said he has a problem with the fact that Dennis Shehan' s figures were published • and feels strongly that we cannot go anywhere else. Mr. Luster asked if we had received any other proposals and Mr. Weatherby said he had not. • Mrs. Georgia stated that one had come in after the last Town Board Meeting, and that it had been requested to be submitted prior to that meeting. Mr. Weatherby said he had told all of the contractors up front, it was strictly an estimate. • After further discussion, it was suggested that perhaps the person who • does the window work can also do the ceilings. The general concensus • was to go ahead on all three renovation items and get started as soon as possible. Mr. Vorp moved, seconded by Mr. Luster to get wiring done and award the work to Mr. Dennis Shehan. Mr. Luster would like Mr. Shehan to change the date on his proposal, discuss the size of the exterior light recommended and also the Town will add the provision to withhold ten percent of the total fee until we get a certificate of inspection. Adopted: Mr. Luster Aye Mr. Vorp Aye Mrs. Duddleston Aye Mr. Weatherby Aye Hearing no further business, the meeting was adjourned at 9: 15 PM. pm , /Irmo , . . , , TOWN OF ULYSSES PLANNING BOARD MEETING 16 October 1985 The meeting of the Planning Board of the Town of Ulysses was called to order at 7 : 40 PM by Acting Chairman, Budd Stover. • Present: Budd Stover, H. William Smith, Tom Reitz , Seville Reulein, Ted Riemer, Paula Mount, Secretary. Absent: Roland Reynolds, • Bob Bauchle. Mr. Stover stated that at the last meeting, talk had been about . reviewing the subdivision regulations again and coming up with something concrete. He had looked them over and had a couple of ® questions. The first question concerned Section 112. 1 - definitions; the three year period stated - and asked Mr. Reitz if he would explain. Mr. Reitz explained the three year provision and stated it was a requirement of the Health Department. Mr. Stover asked about Section 112. 2 and questioned if this meant division of lots every three years or can this be done every year. . Mr. Stover and Mr. Smith felt three years too long a period of time, but if it is a requirement, they will have to go along with it. Discussion took place and •Mr. Stover asked Mr. Reitz to research the three year period in question and report back. On page 2, Section 201. 3 - Filing of Plats with the County Clerk. Definition of ' plat' and 'plot' was read from Websters dictionary. Mr. Stover asked if when dividing a large parcel into two parcels, 111 would you still have to come before the Town Planning Board. Mr. Reitz answered No. The County Clerk won' t file it under a subdivision unless it is five or more. Mr. Stover felt that what was being avoided in the definitions, was . . being specified in section 201. 3. Mr. Reitz suggested saying 'before • • any plat of land under jurisdiction of the Planning Board' . Mr . Stover asked if we can' t explain to the County Clerk that these are the Town' s regulations - because if she won't do anything with one parcel why are we going through all this. Further discussion ensued. Another item Mr. Stover brought up is that in order for the Town to enforce this, the Zoning Officer will have to be on the road all the • time. The question of enforcement, Mr. Reitz said, has been discussed ' before. It is being enforced in other Towns by either the Building or Zoning Inspector. Section 201 . 3 still needs to be reworded. Mr. Reitz again suggested stating 'only those plats that fall into subdivisions be approved by ® the Town Planning Board' . Mr . Stover asked for further questions. He asked if there was a III section or discussion on what has to be done concerning the highway section. Mr. Reitz indicated that was where the Board has stopped. Mr. Meeker is to write up his recommendations and submit them to the Planning • Board. Noone has heard from him, as yet. Mr. Reitz mentioned that the Department of Environmental Conservation had attended the last Town Board meeting and the discussion of flood plains. May need to look at the subdivision regulations and see how this affects it. Just may need a short statement in the regulations to cover it. • TOWN OP ULYSSES i f3 PLANNING BOARD MEETING 16 October 1905 Page 2 Mr. Riemer stated that there seems to be more and more development on Penn Avenue (within the Village) and land has been sold further down which is in the Town of Ulysses. His concern is that if continued sales and development is in store, the Planning Board needs — to press on and get things set in place. It was suggested to check with the Town Attorney concerning some items in the proposed subdivision regulations. Mr. Reitz mentioned that the tentative budget was presented to the Town Board. Under Planning was $2, 800. ; it was explained that $2 , 500. went to the Jacksonville Water Study; the balance is for the Planning Boards actual expenses of secretarial duties and publishing the sub- division regulations. Mr. Reitz pointed out that on page 24, Section 270. 1 , we have no authority. We would need a special resolution from the Town Board to empower the Planning Board. Mr. Reitz stated that he would like to put all modifications made into this, make copies, review it once again and then sent it to the Town Board. Mr. Reulein said he would like to have a combined Town Board/Planning Board meeting and possibly even the Zoning Board included for a final review. Mr. Riemer asked if the concensus was that the plans put together • here are pretty much satisfactory. He feels that if the Planning Board feels this is basically sound, then the Board should approach t • Mr. Meeker in letter form and give him a deadline date that he can submit his proposals to us and we in turn can review them and incor- porate them into this, get it to the Zoning Officer, Town Attorney and then to the Town Board and get it going. Mr. Reulein agreed and suggested to get it in time for the next meeting. Feels the Planning Board is justified in asking for and receiving the Highway Superintendents' recommendations. Mr. Reitz agreed that the Board has digested all of this long enough. Mr. Stover asked when the next meeting should be held and it was decided for Wednesday, November 13th at 7: 30 PM. Reminder cards will be sent. Prior to that meeting, Mrs. Mount will send a letter to Mr. Meeker requesting his recommendations and will also invite - Mr. Zimet to attend. • Motion was made by Mr. Smith, seconded by Mr. Reulein to adjourn the meeting.

" j 't g TOWN OF ULYSSES • PUBLIC HEARING 11 November 1985 Purpose: Discussion of Preliminary Budget/Federal Revenue Sharing. Present: Martin Luster, Supervisor; James Vorp, Carolyn Duddleston, Robert Weatherby, Councilpeople; Marsha Georgia, Town Clerk. Others Present: Geri Speich, Freepross; Tom Reitz, David Zimet, Zoning Officer and Mr. Stanton. • Mr. Luster opened the meeting at 8 : 00 PM. See the budget had previously been reviewed line by line, Mr. Luster stated that where there are significant changes, they would be pointed out, and questions can be asked as we go along. ® The General Appropriation: the first significant change is the Tax Collector line A1330-01, increased from $900. to $1 , 300. ; next is line A1410-01 Town Clerk [total combined Town Clerk and Deputy Clerk] from $18, 000. to $20, 500. which breaks down to $15, 000. for Clerk and $5, 500. for Deputy Clerk. Unallocated Insurance A1910-04 , which is primarily liability coverage - the projected increase is from $15, 568. to $21, 820. based upon an oral quote from Joe Farrell. Mr. Reitz asked if the quote had been changed and Mr. Luster replied No. Contingency: line A1990-04 calls for $7,000. compared to $8 , 000. in 1985. Mr. Luster commented he had received a mailing from Senator Moynihan in which he tries to up-date the debate in Congress, with particular regard to Federal Revenue Sharing and says that the Senate Appropriations Committee on October 4th approved a bill reducing General Revenue Sharing • by 12. 5% for the current Federal fiscal year 1986. The news from the House of Representatives is a 25% cut. Mr. Luster stated that we have budgeted in the Preliminary Budget for Federal Revenue Sharing a full $24 , 000. , based upon advice from the County Planning Department. One way of handling a projected decrease is when we get to the Revenue Sharing portion of the budget we can re-vamp that to reflect some sort of decrease or we can leave that, since we don' t know whether there is going to be a decrease and increase our Contingency Fund to cover that possibility. A good part of our Revenue Sharing is in the General Fund so if we were to increase that by $2, 500. , which would be roughly the equivilent of a 10% decrease in Revenue Sharing, we should be able to cover ourselves. There was no further discussion on Revenue Sharing at this time and Mr. Luster went on to the next item. There is no major change in line A3510-04, Dog Control. The services will be reduced. The $6552. budgeted is about $1, 000. over what the SPCA has quoted. Supt. of Highway Salary A5010-01 went up from $20, 714 . to $21 , 956. , a 6% increase and the same increase as the highway crew. e There is an error on line A7410-04, Library. Under the 1985 Amended Budget, the figure should be $1 , 000. not $2 , 000. The increase for 1986 is to $2, 000. and that is to assist the library in meeting their renova- tion costs. The fringe benefits; Workers Comp, FICA, retirement, etc. show increases which are a product of the payroll. Capital Reserve Account A9950-09 for the building and the budget suggests adding an additional $5, 000. for 1986 into that Reserve Fund. ( Mr. Zimet asked if the actual for 1984 is an accumulative figure or what was put in and Mr. Luster answered that that was before we had a Reserve Account, that was what was appropriated for use in that year. At the end of 1984 we moved it to a Reserve Fund so that $10, 883. is in there plus $5, 000. appropriated last year, less the cost of the land out back. - • p. TOWN OF ULYSSES y.; PUBLIC HEARING 11 November 1985 Page 2 Mr. Zimet asked if it would be possible for next years budget to take • line item 1410 and break that down into two areas - Town Clerk and Deputy Town Clerk. Mr. Luster said yes, it had been suggested. Mr. Reitz asked if anyone had taken a look at the roof on this building, now that all the renovations are taking place. Mrs. Duddleston stated that it had been done two or three years ago. Mr. Luster continued with the Preliminary Budget. Under General Revenue Fund - line A2544 Dog License Fees; reflects an anticipated decrease and line A3005 NYS Mortg. Tax a substantial increase. • There are no other significant changes in this area. ® You will notice a total of $8, 206. from Revenue Sharing appropriated from Revenue Sharing into the General Revenue Fund. By increasing our Contingency Account, we will safeguard against any moderate decrease in Revenue Sharing money. Mr. Vorp asked what Mr. Luster recommended? Mr. Luster replied it' s a simple way of doing it, and an appropriate way since we don' t know what is going to happen in Washington. Mr. Vorp asked if $2, 500. will be enough? Mr. Luster said No, but we also have the balance of the Contingency Fund. There are no major changes in the Highway Town Wide Appropriation Fund. On the Revenue side, decreased rate of interest earnings; unexpended surplus will be lower than in 1985. • Mr. Vorp said they were looking at the possibility of selling the old Walters truck and anticipate receiving $2 , 000. to $2, 500. for it. Asked if that amount should be put in as revenue? Mr. Luster felt that was too much of a guess - if the truck is sold it will be extra. Under line DA5031 Revenue Sharing Reserve Account $13, 610. and line DA5031 Machinery, $3 , 000. There is no Highway Fund Contingency Fund authorized by law, if Revenue Sharing is cut substantially, then the money goes for these two line items. Highway Part Town Appropriation-no substantial changes other than salaries and fringes. Under the Revenue side, projected decrease in interest earnings. Part Town Fund - the only significant change is the budget for 1986 will reflect a position of Fire Inspector and the $600. is based on . / Mr. Snedeker' s figures of hours spent and cost of school and supplies. • Mr. Vorp asked how much should we anticipate getting from the State? Mr. Luster replied $2, 600. for 1985 - have not received an estimate for 1986. There is a significant increase under Fire Protection based upon the Fire District Budget supplied by the Fire Company. There is little we can do about it. Mr. Vorp voiced his concern for the renovations needed on the Fire Hall. Mr. Luster has communication on that and it is on the agenda for the Regular Board Meeting. Mr. Vorp asked how we would tie the needed extra money into the budget? Mr. Luster replied that we can' t for this year and the Fire Department understands that. The General Proposal from the Village for the Fire House Renovation was distributed. They expect us to raise in taxes $31, 956. in 1987 to pay for our share of the cost of the bond. The worst part of that figure is that that is not spread out over the entire Town - it' s only over the fire district outside of the Village which has an assessed value of roughly $58 million, which means that if we are going to raise around $32, 000. it is going to raise the tax rate outside of the Village by TOWN OF ULYSSES ', PUBLIC HEARING 11 November 1985 Page 3 about 55 per thousand. • Some discussion took place. Action was reserved for the Regular Board ' Meeting. Line CF4001 , Revenue Sharing. Again anticipates the same $24, 744 . we received last year, plus $11, 206. unexpended balance. We have appro- priated $3, 206. for insurance; $1 , 134 . for Part Town; $3, 000 . for highway machinery; $10, 000. for General Highway outside Village; . I $5, 000 . for building reserve; $13 , 610. for Highway Equipment Reserve. Mr. Luster recommended that since things are so uncertain about Revenue Sharing; just leave it as it is and increase the General Contingency Fund to off-set any decrease in Revenue we see there. Fifteen percent of Revenue Sharing is about $3 , 600. , if this was added to General Contingency Fund, that would cover the appropriation to that fund from Revenue Sharing for insurance. Mr. Vorp felt that 15% is a minimum to be looking at. • Mr. Luster asked if the Board wanted to act on any changes or wait ' until the Regular Board Meeting? Mr. Vorp felt there was no reason to wait. Mr. Vorp moved, seconded by Mrs. Duddleston the adoption of the following resolution: `i RESOLVED: to increase the General Contingency Fund, line A1990-04 from $7 , 000. to $10, 500. (15%) . Adopted: Mr. Luster Aye Mr. Vorp Aye Mrs. Duddleston Aye Mr. Weatherby Aye . i Mr. Vorp asked about the extra $1, 000: from Dog Control and Mr. Luster said it could be left in and at the end of the year if it isn' t spent, it' s unappropriated surplus that can be used for any purpose. ' There is a statutory limit of 10% of all appropriations; with a total appropriation in this fund of $185, 723. , there is no problem. Mr. Luster asked for comments or questions . Mr. Stanton introduced himself and stated he had moved here a year ago. Got information on the meeting by reading the Ithaca Journal Monday evening. He lives in the Village and asked if someone could tell him why the tax increase for the residents in the Village is greater than it is for those in the Town; what additional services, if any, does he receive for such an increase? Mr. Luster stated, it varies from year to year. Last year it was just the opposite, the taxes outside the Village were greater. This year • the reason is primarily because of the increase in insurance, which by law has to be paid for by everyone in the Town and out; so you are • getting your share of that big increase. There are also significant • increases in the salaries of the Town Clerk, Deputy Clerk and Tax Collector and must be paid by everyone in the Town. Last year the increases were for highway equipment reserve which only gets paid by I people outside the Village, so they got hit. There is no way to predict it from year to year. Mr. Stanton asked how the payroll increases were arrived at? Mr. Luster said the payroll increase for the highway was arrived at through bargain- ing between the highway department and the Town Board. Based upon an inflation rate of 3. 2% plus increases reflecting years of service, etc. Mr. Stanton said he is not opposed to the increases, but is on Social Security and received a 3. 1% increase. Mr. Luster continued that the Clerk and Deputy Clerk have been underpaid TOWN OF ULYSSES PUBLIC HEARING 11 November 1985 Page 4 for a long time and it was the feeling of the Town Board that they should try to bring the pay up to parody to other Towns. Trying not to do it all at one time, but in reasonable steps. Mr. Reitz asked if the Board had looked at long term increases. Two years ago there was double digit increases, now is this increase just an election year increase? Mr. Luster said the problem is that this is the end of the first full year of a formal reserve, there were never reserve accounts before and that was the problem with that system. We have, with this increase, in the highway reserve $36, 000. Mrs. Duddleston asked if there was a limit on a reserve fund and Mr. ® Luster said he didn' t believe so. Hearing no further questions or discussion the Public Hearing was adjourned. Marsha L.

TOWN OF ULYSSES SPECIAL TOWN BOARD MEETING 11 November 1985 Mr. Luster called the Special Board Meeting of the Town of Ulysses to order. Purpose: Approval of application for Youth Program. Present: Martin Luster, Supervisor; James Vorp, Carolyn Duddleston, Robert Weatherby, Councilpeople; Marsha Georgia, Town Clerk. Others Present: Geri Speich, Free Press; Tom Reitz, David Zimet, Zoning Officer. ® A motion was made by Mr. Vorp, seconded by Mrs. Duddleston to adopt the following resolution: RESOLVED: the the Town Board of the Town of Ulysses approve the project application for the 1986 Youth Program in the amount of $3, 000. 00. Adopted: Mr. Luster Aye Mr. Vorp Aye Mrs. Duddleston Aye • Mr. Weatherby Aye • • Also related to recreation, last month the flag football program was approved. Mr. Jack Reed has requested payment of $200. for his services. This amount is not in our budget because the program is new, but we can pay him the $200. and then amend our 1985 State budget from supplies to personnel. Mr. Vorp moved, seconded by Mrs. Duddleston the adoption of the following • resolution: RESOLVED: that the Town Board of the Town of Ulysses pay Mr. Jack Reed $200. for his services to the flag football program and that the 1985 State budget be amended. • Adopted: Mr. Luster Aye Mr. Vorp Aye Mrs. Duddleston Aye Mr. Weatherby Aye Another item to discuss is the state of the building and the fact that the quote given to us for the general repairs did not include replace- - ment of the window in the Clerk' s office. Mr. Weatherby said to stud up the front panels, insulate, put up new paneling in the offices, remove ceiling tiles and insulation and replace • same would come to a little over $1,000. He has a contract from Greg Robideau but the price does not include the large window, which needs to be replaced, in the Clerk' s office. There are two options: (1) remove window, repair sill, put up metal drip edge and re-install the existing window, (2) remove present window, stud and insulate and put in a new 4 x 4 insulated window. Mrs . Georgia added that Mr. Zimet had called Millspaugh Bros. to get a figure on a new window and that Denny Millspaugh mentioned he was doing some renovation work on his home and had a 4 x 8 thermo paned window he was removing and would sell it to us for $300. For $2, 300. we can do entire front of the building as discussed, plus the side in the Clerk' s office. Mr. Vorp asked is there is any market for the windows that will be removed? Mrs. Georgia said the window is just quarter-inch glass, not thermo pane. The other three small windows could be put in the last office. Mr. Weatherby added that the furnace had been installed today (11/11/85) . There had been talk about selling the old furnace or giving it away, however it was taken out in fifty pieces and was taken to the dump. TOWN OF ULYSSES ' t SPECIAL TOWN BOARD MEETING 11 November 1985 ' Page 2 Mr. Zimet stated that he didn' t think a 4 x 4 window would meet • building code requirements for the size of the room. Total figures: furnace $1 , 960. wiring 2, 270. which includes lesser outside fixture and more wall outlets. Mr. Luster said we are talking a total price of $6, 500. 00. This will be paid in 1985. Can take it all out of the Contingency Fund and still . have enough to pay only other Contingency item which is Summer Employment. That leaves us without a Contingency Fund through the month of December. The other thing that can be done is to appropriate money from the Capital Reserve Account and use some from that and some from Contingency. • Mr. Vorp asked if we had money in Capital for that. Mr. Luster answered Yes, we have a total of $16, 090. Just a question of where we take it from. The new phones will come out of Contractual and equipment. Mr. Luster said he would like to get a resolution on the floor on Tuesday so that we can fix it and we know it. Any time you use money from a reserve account it is subject to a permissive referendum. He • would like to take part from the Reserve Account and part from the Contingency Fund. Discussion ensued as to the electrical work and the number of outlets. • Was determined that a sketch be obtained of the work being done. Mr. Zimet reported his findings concening a telephone system. He contacted AT&T and was quoted a price of $6, 200. D and N phones was quoted at approximately $3, 000. and Comalert came in at a total . price of $2, 800. for eleven jacks and nine telephones. Would give us a roll-over line; separate line for the Justice Department and one for Zoning/Building/Fire. The Justice Department could put an answering machine on their line and also means that we could put i ' call forwarding' on the Zoning/Building/Fire line. There are eleven locations in the building for telephones. Can wire for those eleven locations and go with nine phones. _ Total price would be $2, 739. 73. That is owning the telephones. The phone system can be purchased through the left over contractual money in the 1985 budget. Mr. Vorp moved, seconded by Mrs. Duddleston the adoption of the following resolution: RESOLVED: that the Town Board of the Town of Ulysses authorize . David Zimet to proceed with the purchase of the telephone system from Comalert System with eleven jacks and nine telephones for a total price of $2, 739. 73 . • . Adopted: Mr. Luster Aye Mr. Vorp Aye _ Mrs. Duddleston Aye Mr. Weatherby Aye ' Mr. Vorp reported L1iaL he had been In conversation with Mr. Schepke, • a member of the School Board, regarding a proposal for lighting the tennis courts, to be paid for by the Town, as part of the recreation program for the community. The price submitted is $13, 100. and i includes all lights, poles, and box switches. Mr. Vorp moved to table this discussion until further information could be obtained. Hearing no further business, the Special Meeting was adjourned at 9: 45PM. Marsha L. Georgia Town Clerk . pm Off TOWN OF ULYSSES REGULAR TOWN BOARD MEETING 12 November 1985 Present: Martin Luster, Supervisor; Councilpeople Carolyn Duddleston, James Vorp, Robert Weatherby, Robert Herrick; Councilman Elect Tom Reitz; Attorney Elizabeth Bixler; Highway Superin- tendent Jim Meeker; Zoning Officer David Zimet; Town Clerk Marsha Georgia. Other Present: Jerry Mesmer, NYSE&G; Geri Speich, Free Press; Catherine Stover, Lee Haefele, Clark Affolter. Mr. Luster called the meeting of the Town Board of the Town of Ulysses to order at 8: 00 PM. Tonights meeting is being held at the Ulysses Philomathic Library, Main Street, due to renovations at the Town Hall. Mr. Herrick invited Tom Reitz, newly elected Councilman, to join the others at the table. • Mr. Luster entertained a motion, moved by Mrs. Duddleston, seconded by Mr. Weatherby, to approve the minutes of the Regular Board Meeting of October 8th, the Special Meeting of October 15th. Unanimously approved. David Zimet, Zoning Officer reported on his activities for the month of October. He issued a total of nine permith with a total of 192 miles covered. Mr. Zimet stated that over the past year he has brought several issues forward which he feels need to be incorporated into the Zoning Ordinance. He feels this is not going to happen if he does it himself, and wishes to encourage the Board to consider creating a Commission of interested citizens to revise the Zoning Ordinance. • Also, Mr. Zimet spoke with the Department of State and they would be happy to hold a seminar on Zoning and Planning which would be useful for civic leaders, residents, Zoning Commission and the Planning Board members in this area if someone would organize it. Mr. Zimet would be happy to do this. He would like to know if the Town would be interested in sponsoring this seminar. He would invite the neighboring municipalities and the State would present the program. Mr. Zimet feels it would be most helpful. Mr. Luster stated the Zoning Commission is authorized by Town Law. Although this is not required it is an appropriate way to propose more than incidental changes in a Zoning Ordinance. The Planning Board has been looking at Zoning changes for some time now. He went on to say this Commission can be created or re-energize the Planning Board to continue with their study. His preference would be a separate Commission with input from the Planning Board. Mr. Herrick feels it is wise to broaden the input with a separate Commission. It would allow a group to just forcus on Zoning. Mr. Luster entertained a motion to establish a Zoning Commission to investigate changes in the Zoning Ordinance, Mr. Herrick moved, • seconded by Mrs. Duddleston. • Mr. Vorp wanted to know how this interfaces with the Planning Board. He doesn' t want the Planning Board to feel like this Commission is taking over. Mr. Reitz, Planning Board member, will gladly present this at the Planning Board meeting on Wednesday evening and get the feeling of the Board. Mr. Vorp moved to table the above motion until he hears the input from the Planning Board. Mr. Herrick seconded. Adopted: Mr. Luster Aye Mr. Herrick Aye Mr. Vorp Aye Mrs. Duddleston Aye Mr. Weatherby Aye TOWN OF ULYSSES REGULAR TOWN BOARD MEETING 12 November 1985 Page 2 Mr. Luster feels the idea of the seminar is a good one but would like to wait and see if a Commission is formed so those would be able to attend. • • Mr. Zimet will contact neighboring municipalities to see if there is interest before he goes ahead. Mr. Luster read the attached Fire Department report. Mr. Luster introduced Mr. Haefele of Haefele Cable TV out of Spencer. Mr. Haefele is interested in supplementing the service that is • provided by American Community Cable. He stated he was interested in extending the line from Enfield down Applegate Road and providing service along the lake and Iradell Road. The system is 15 channels, with a fee of $14 . 00 per month for basic service. • Susan Perkins, Town of Ulysses Cable Commission has submitted a report • (see attached) . Mr. Haefele responded to Susan' s questions. Mr. • Luster asked where the programming is produced and Mr. Haefele stated they have dishes located on Podunk Road. Mr. Haefele responded to the companies Capital and that they have recently gotten an SPA Loan guarantee approval. The Board was also concerned if this would create any problems with American Community Cable. Mr. Haefele explained that that franchise is not exclusive as are some. Mr. Luster asked Mr. Haefele if he knows the current American Cable TV population for service extension, the homes per mile figure. Mr. Haefele stated they are required to do thirty-five dwellings per mile by the State. He has heard they will do thirty. He went on to say that they will do twenty-five if they can get pre-sign up. They are doing thirteen to fourteen subscribers per mile. Their systems are in Enfield Trailer Park, Enfield, Alpine, Catherine, Cayuta, Spencer, (town and village) , Mecklenburg, Berkshire, Richford and others being done now. Mr. Luster asked if any count had been done in this area. Mr. Haefele wants the Town to see what the other cable company has done (American) or if they intend to do the lake frontage. Mr. Herrick asked Mr. Haefele for letters from the other municipalities regarding response to his service. Mr. Haefele stated that their basic rate is $14. per month which is higher than American Community Cable, who charges $8. but they charge extra for the satalite services which • are included in his. Their pay services are less, the second set cost is less, and with the second set you don' t have to rent a converter. • So overall their service is less. Mr. Haefele feels they also have a better picture quality. Their service for billing and trouble shooting is better. What Mr. Haefele would like from the Town Board of Ulysses is mostly, before he goes any further, is for the Board to check with American Community Cable to see what their intentions are for extending service before he goes to alot of trouble and expense. Mr. Luster said he has no problem contacting American Community Cable TV and asking their intentions, then the Board will take it .a step at a time. Mr. Luster will get back to Mr. Haefele. • Jerry Mesmer from NYSE&G stopped by to let his presence be known. The G&E has been getting increased numbers of requests for private lighting as well as public street lighting. The Town does have a franchise contract with NYSE&G and if they do need help and assistance it is without cost. Mrs. Duddleston did say the Town had requested lighting on Van Dorn and Route 96, also Perry City and Route 96. Also Mr. Mesmer said speed limits have been asked to be reduced and possibly •. lighting would be helpful and those locations are Krums Corners inter- section and on Route 96 in the Halseyville dip. Mr. Mesmer will be glad to do surveys at these locations. He will return with a presen- tation. Rep. James Mason, County Board of Representatives extended an invita- tion to a meeting November 13th at 7 : 00 PM at Tompkins Community Hospital Library on Route 96. It is an ad hoc committee of citizens • :.��. .. _ .•. n: , :^ ."�'-i: '"�' . . .is .. TOWN OF ULYSSES REGULAR TOWN BOARD MEETING 32 November 1985 Page 3 and their name is ' SAFETY ON ROUTE 96' . SAFETY stands for Safe Access for Everyone, That' s You. They are trying to organize to • convince the City of Ithaca about the urgency of resolving the Route 96 problem. Mr. Vorp asked if this was the same group that advocated boycotting - downtown business? Mr. Mason said there was some missrepresentation about that. There had been discussion about what could be done to stimulate some action on the part of the Ithaca Common Council and it was pointed out that letters had been written, resolutions passed, etc. and nothing seems to have any impact and Mr. Mason said something to the effect that maybe a boycott of Ithaca based businesses would impress upon them how serious this community is about taking some action. It was picked up and elaborated upon. • This group wants moving and they are advocating for Alternative'C' which is the elevated crossing of the rail road tracks. On County business, we are well into deliberations on the 1986 Budget. Total appropriated to date is approximately thirty-nine million plus, B & A narrowed it down to $39, 083, 000. 00. Of that, 1/3 comes to the County in various forms of revenue. Across the board increase is about 70C per thousant. The budget has been pared as far as it can go without making major inroads into service. Services that would be impacted most by any further cuts would probably be the highway depart- ' ment - the number of miles of highway maintained. The committee consciously made an effort to maintain the level of human services funding that we have had in the past. That resulted in an increase in the cap that had been established last year from $201 , 000. up to $263, 000. They are still working on the budget and trying to get the tax increase down under 10%. • • Mr. Luster asked how the County is handling the uncertainty of revenue sharing for this year? Mr. Mason said for this year they pretty much know where they stand. Anticipating a major change in the 1987 budget. A motion was made by Mrs. Duddleston, seconded by Mr. Herrick to approve Claims #393-450 for a total of $48,654. 99. Adopted: Mr. Luster Aye Mr. Herrick Aye Mr. Vorp Aye Mrs. Duddleston Aye Mr. Weatherby Aye Mr. Luster reported on the status of the Jacksonville water situation. The last round of testing showed a disparity between those test results and the preceeding round. Letters have been sent out to homeowners included in the last testing; all but three show zero or close to zero levels of ingredients which showed up in high levels in earlier testing. Three homes still show unhealthy levels. Discrepancy in results if troublesome, not only to use but to the Department of Health. Can' t explain it, but as a result our County Department of Health has contacted the State Dept. of Health who has agreed to use State Labs to test it one more time. They will go back to original group tested • (11 homes) and get samples . The samples will be chipped to Albany fur testing. Those results will then be compared with the last round and the one before it and presumably will be consistant with one or the other. Once this is done we should have a pretty solid reading and be able to define the problem more clearly than we have been up until now. He (Carl Burgess) suggests that we then sit down with the Health Depart- ment, DOT, our engineer and start talking about a solution for the • immediate problem area. Mr. Reitz asked about the tank at the Hurds and Mr. Luster said he didn' t think the test had been done yet. Mr. Reitz said the gas station and a couple of homes with high readings were to be provided with water or filters, has this been done? Mr. Luster said he did not think filters were installed prior to the last round of testing. The test showed those three homes clean. Mr. Weatherby reported on the building renovations. One problem after TOWN OF ULYSSES REGULAR TOWN BOARD MEETING • 12 November 1985 Page 4 another has come up, finally decided to maok some changes. Front panels out, putting in new windows , insulation. Wiring has been completed and inspector hopefully coming tomorrow. Furnace is complete. Total cost will be approximately $10, 000. for everything. • This will bring building up to code, keep it warmer, more efficient and better lighted. Mr. Luster said when first started contemplating this job, cost was well within Contingency fund balance and intended to use that to pay for it. At $10, 000. it exceeds, by about $3, 000. , our Contingency fund. Do have a Capital Reserve fund which is available for this purpose and Mr. Luster would like to appropriate part of that Capital Reserve fund to pay for some of these improvements. The difficulty with this is, there will be a thirty day delay between tonight' s passage ® of a resolution and the time we can pay them [the contractors] and we will have to talk to them about this. A payment from a Captial Reserve fund is subject to a permissive referendum. Have to advertise it and the law says we have to wait thirty days . Mr. Weatherby said he had talked to the suppliers already and it will be on a thirty day billing. That will be approximately $2, 000. for windows and some materials. • Mr. Luster wants to leave a balance in the Contingency fund for our normal year-end adjustments . We have $7, 200. there now and would like to leave $1, 500. , so it' s about $5, 800. we can spend from the Contingency ' fund, so that is about $6, 200. we would have to take out of the Capital Reserve Account. Mr. Weatherby said some of these supplies have to be paid for now. Mr. Luster suggests that $6, 200 . be taken from our Reserve Account. He read the following resolution: RESOLUTION WHEREAS the Town of Ulysses has a capital reserve fund established pursuant to section 6-c of the General Municipal Law for • the construction, reconstruction or acquisition of a type of capital improvement or the acquisition of a type of equipment, and WHEREAS, there is a need to use moneis from that fund for work being done on the Town Hall of the Town of Ulysses at 10 Elm Street, Trumansburg, New York, and WHEREAS the law provides that expenditures from the fund made be made upon authorization of the town board which authorization shall be subject to a permissive referendum, • NOW, BE IT RESOLVED that there be expended from said capital reserve fund the sum of $6, 200. to pay for purchase and installation of windows, accompanying material, furnace and wiring in the said Town Hall, and be it further RESOLVED that the Town Clerk shall post and publish the proper notices of this resolution in accordance with the statutes governing permissive referendums. Mr. Luster moved, seconded by Mr. Herrick the adoption of the above resolution. Mr. Vorp stated for informational purposes, the fact was that some changes had to be made because when the front panels were removed, ' water damage was found, thus it was a necessity - once everything was opened up there were problems that had to be addressed. Mr. Weatherby stated that is why some items went over estimated price because more had to be replaced, had to add in items that had rotted out. The ceiling project went along a lot better than they thought it would. Didn' t have to tear it all down as originally thought. Mr. Reitz asked if this estimate includes the telephone wiring and was answered No. Hearing no further discussion or questions a vote was asked for.

Mr. Zimet finished the study and comparison of different companies. The Board met on November 7th and they approved the installation of the Comalert system. This system is now being installed. The wiring for the lines has been completed and the final installation will be November 26th. It includes eleven jacks and nine telephones. .. ® Mr. Luster stated that this will be paid from the current contractual accounts in the 1985 budget. ® At last months meeting, Judge Montgomery had brought to the attention of the Board inadvertently a deficiency in the resolution passed a few years ago regarding the Towns policy to indemnify Town officials with regard to losses brought against them in performance of their duties. Attorney Bixler has been asked to re-do the resolution to include any law suits brought against them under what is commonly known as the Civil Rights Act. Mr. Luster introduced, seconded by Mr. Weatherby the following resolution: RESOLUTION WHEREAS section 18 of the Public Officers Law enables a town, under certain circumstances, to provide for the defense and • indemnification of its employees, and WHEREAS the Town of Ulysses wishes to confer on its employees all the benefits possible under section 18 of the Public ' Officers Law, including protection in any Civil Rights Lawsuits, NOW, BE IT RESOLVED: 1 1. That the Town of Ulysses does hereby confer on its employees all the benefits provided by section 18 of the Public Officers Law, and 2. That the Town of Ulysses shall be liable for the costs incurred under the provisions of section 18 of the Public Officers Law, and ' • 3. That the defense and indemnification of employees as provided in section 18 of the Public Officers Law shall include defense and indemnification of the employee in • any action brought against him or her under the provisions of 42 United States Code §1981-1985, or any part thereof and any judgment obtained therein. Adopted: Mr. Luster Aye Mr. Vorp Aye Mr. Herrick Aye Mrs. Duddleston Aye Mr. Weatherby Aye ~ Mr. Herrick enlightened the Board on an experience at the Trust Company where they found that the Board of Directors liability coverage was © increased almost ten-fold by their insurance carrier in order to - continue coverage. This is not an uncommon occurance. In many instances institutions/municipalities are being denied coverage for I liability and/or high rates for coverage. Mr. Luster pointed out that the Town' s had increased 40% for liability coverage. Mr. Mason added that the County had learned today that they will no longer have errors omission. This is no longer available to them, even though they have never had a claim. They have talked about ` checking with other Counties to see about self-insurance, although / there are some restrictions on what Counties can do as far as self- insurance. Mr. Luster recalled that last month when the gentlemen spoke to us about Federal Flood insurance, the question came up as to whether or TOWN OF ULYSSES CV REGULAR TOWN BOARD MEETING 12 November 1985 Page 6 not the Town had in effect valid interim regulations that would put the Town into compliance with the program with a period between now and the time we move into the regular phase after the appeal period • is up. Mr. Zimet looked into this and found in 1974 there was a map and a form of regulations at that time. Apparently, though the DEC told us those regulations were not effective as of 1976 when the law changed. Attorney Bixler has drawn up a set of regulations, in the form of a local law to put the Town in compliance. This is only temporary and interim until we go through the next 90 day appeal period and move into the regular phase. At that time this local law will be replaced by a new local law. The local law to be introduced now is the model local ordinance left by the gentlemen from DEC. The ordinance passed after the 90 day appeal period will be exactly like this one, the only difference will be on the designation of the map in Section 3. 2. Mr. Luster asked what the gist of all this is. Attorney Bixler replied that this will appoint the Zoning Officer to take application for building permits to build in flood hazard areas. The flood regulations will be administered by the Zoning Officer and he can deny an applica- tion for someone to build in a flood hazard zone. If the Town chooses not to pass these regulations then it would not be in compliance, chances are it would be OK, but in the event of a disaster, and people started applying for insurance, the State could say that the Town was not in compliance prior to the disaster. Mr. Luster introduced Local Law #3 for 1985 entitled "Flood Damage Prevention Law" . "A Local Law that gives the Town' s Zoning Officer power to enforce Federal Flood Hazard Regulations when issuing building permits for work in areas designated as flood hazard areas on the Federal Flood Maps" . A public hearing was set for December 10, 1985 at 7 : 00 pm in the Town Hall, Town of Ulysses. We still have a vacancy for representative to the EMC (Environmental Management Council) . Mr. Luster would like the Board to be thinking about someone to fill this vacancy. Mr. Luster moved for the adoption of the 1986 Budget as approved at the Public Hearing. Total appropriations of $578, 891 . 00, total tax levy of $291, 169. 00. The only change from the preliminary budget is the additon of $3, 500. to the Contingency Fund for the purpose of • accounting for a possible decrease in Revenue Sharing. Mr. Vorp seconded the motion. RESOLVED: that the 1986 Preliminary Budget be adopted by the Town Board of the Town of Ulysses. Adopted: Mr. Luster Aye Mr. Vorp Aye Mr. Herrick Aye • Mrs. Duddleston Aye • Mr. Weatherby Aye • NEW BUSINESS Election District #2 currently meets at Close Hall, Jacksonville, New York. Mr. Luster is in receipt of communication from Lorna Close regarding the fee for use of the Hall. The fee for the front room is $25. but is the kitchen or cooking or refrigeration is needed, the fee will be $50. Mr. Vorp asked what the possibility of moving the polling place to the Town Barns and not paying any rent. This has been discusses with Jim Meeker, Highway Superintendent and he wishes it not to be for the reason if the days to be used are during bad weather him men would be working there, also everything is out in the open and not a good place for the public to be freely moving about. The Jacksonville Methodist Church has been considered. Mr. Clark Affolter was in attendence to speak regarding the use of the Church. He and the Trustees have been asked for the use of the Church for a TOWN OF ULYSSES REGULAR TOWN BOARD MEETING 12 November 1985 Page 7 voting place. The Trustees have contacted the Conference of Churches and there are no problems to use the Church. The Trustees have a few questions and/or doubts, such as parking and the election day • dinner held at. the Church already. Another concern is the Hearth Room would be the room used and this room is newly carpeted. Another concern is the insurance in case of an injury. Mr. Affolter said any input regarding his concerns that he could take back to his Trustees would be helpful. Mr. Luster asked if the Church would be considering any rent. Mr. Affolter didn' t know if the Town would be considering any. Mr. Luster said it is not the cost and maybe for all the trouble and confusion of sending out notices it wouldn' t be wise to move the location. Jim Meeker asked if it would be possible if the Church was used to leave the voting maching year round. Mr. Meeker stressed that the • cost for Close Hall is not the issue as far as he is concerned. Close Hall is not an easy place to move the machines in or out or around. They also have a very poor ramp for the handicapped. Mr. Meeker feels the parking would not be a problem because whether it is at Close Hall or. the Church, people still will be parking the same places, most park on Route 96. Another problem is getting the key for Close Hall. Prior arrangements have to be made with Mrs. Close to either pick up the key or she drops one off at the Clerk' s office. Moving the machines is not good for the machines. Mr. Meeker recommends the use of the Church for the above various reasons. • Mr. Luster stated to Mr. Affolter that he should now have the whole picture, if the Church could be used the Town would like to be able to store the machine year round. Also be a permanent move. Mr. Meeker S" suggested the Church may want to contact the other polling places to see how they handle having the machines at their locations. Mr. Luster moved, seconded by Mr. Vorp to table this discussion until next month and allow the Church some time to discuss this with the Trustees. • Mr. Luster is in receipt of correspondence (attached) from Carl Mann, Mayor of the Village of Trumansburg in regards to renovations of the Fire Hall. What the Village would like from the Town is a general committment of the concept that the Town will contribute based on the ratio of the assessed valuation, at a cost of bonding of the renovation project to the Fire Hall. Roughly it would cost the Town residents outside the Village 55 per thousand dollar assessed valuation to build alone. This would double the fire rate. The Board is in agreement that the Fire Hall does need renovations and that the Town { should pay their fair share. Mr. Luster stated that this seems an awfully big share for the Town tax payers to pay. It does go down each year of the ten year bonding, but the low figure in the tenth year is not a huge difference from the first year. The bond resolution only can be voted on by the Village residents , Town residents would not be able to vote. The Town could put up a permissive • resolution to get the feel of how residents feel, but this wouldn' t make • • sense if we didn' t have other alternatives. Mr. Vann of the Fire Department expressed the concern of the department and that they realize whyat a hard spot this puts the Town. It has been more or less made clear the project will not go without the involvement of the Town of Ulysses. Mr. Luster commented that a couple of thoughts have occurred to him, one is bonding for a longer term than ten years. This would increase the cost but yet modify the cash flow downward and also break the pay- back for the Town on a formula based upon service calls. Mr. Vann urged the Board to speak with Carl Mann, Mayor, regarding these thoughts on the formulation based on calls. The consensus of the Board is to have Mr. Luster put in writing to Carl Mann, Mayor of the Village of Trumansburg these different avenues of approach. Mr. Vann added that the Fire Company wants to inform the electors as to ' ,. TOWN OF ULYSSES • . REGULAR TOWN BOAhD MEETING 4 12 November 1985 Page 8 the problems the department has. They are planning to host an open house in January to inform the public. Mr. Mason responded that it is important to look at the total cost of fire protection for the Town of Ulysses compared to other Towns in the County. He feels the Town of Ulysses is paying a fraction of what the nearest Town to us is paying for protection. Trumansburg Fire Department has been operating out of a building for 15 years that they only paid $25, 000. for and the volunteers of the company have invested their own labors S into renovating. It has been a long time since the community has had to divi up for capital expense of the fire department. Mr. Luster will contact the Mayor and report at next months meeting. ` The Board felt the public hearings are almost mandatory to advise the people. -- Mrs. Georgia reported for the month of October a total of $2 , 173. 20, • of which $431. 30 was turned over to the Supervisor. Also $355. 00 was turned over to the Town of Ithaca for building permits. James Meeker, Highway Superintendent reported for the month of October (see attached) . Mr. Luster read reports from the Building Inspector and the Fire .. Inspector (see attached) . Mr. Reitz took this opportunity to thank the voters for voting for • him. He feels he can contribute to the Board and looks forward to serving. . Mr. Vorp reported on the status of Pennsylvania Avenue and the request regarding reduction of the speed limit. He is in receipt of a letter . from the Village which states the Village only annexed up to the road, so therefore, the Town owns the entire road, not half of it. Therefore the Town has the say about the speed limit. Mr. Vorp recommended that this be done. Mr. Vorp moved to reduce the speed limit on Pennsylvania Avenue from • South Street to the Village line. The intent is to have the entire road (Pennsylvania Avenue) at 30 miles reduced speed. A discussion followed the motion and there were some indications that " the road did not belong entirely to the Town and also some indications that the speed limit should not be reduced. Mr. Vorp tabled his motion and will do some more research as far as residents input on the speed limit. Hearing no further business, Mr. Weatherby moved, seconded by Mr. Vorp adjournment of the meeting. The meeting was adjourned at 10: 10PM. Marsha L. Georgia Town Clerk I! pm ' • DATE: November 2, 1985 al FROM: Susan E. Perki , Town of Ulysses Cable Commissioner TO: Members of the Ulysses Town Board RE: Request for contract from Haefele Cable TV At the request of Mr. Luster, I have talked with Bob Fletcher, President of the Tompkins County Cable Com- mission, regarding the application from Haefele Cable TV. Mr. Fletcher agreed that the Town does not have an exclusive contract with American Community Cable- vision. He stressed the importance of investigating the company's financial position, i.e. not only its ability to build but also to complete and operate the system they propose. Further I called Town of Enfield Supervisor Hubbell regarding their experience with the company. According to Mr. Hubbell, Mr. Haefele is being financed by his father. He is operating a 12 or 13 basic channel system and has connected areas where there are as few as 13-14 homes per mile interested in service. Mr. Hubbell said the company worked from January through June in good weather and bad to complete the connections they pro- mised. He has not heard any complaints although the system is relatively new. Accoridng to Mr. Hubbell Haefele TV has cable service to Enfield, Enfield Center, Trumball Corner, and South Danby; Berkshire and Spenser in Tioga County and in Schuyler County, Cayuta and an application pending in Burdett. Applegate Road and Van Dorn Road may also be added in the future. My questions are in four areas; one: financial - does the company have enough capital to provide and main- ' tain the service they propose? two: homes/mile ratio will they provide service for areas where as few as 13 residences per mile are interested? three: customer re- lations - will they be responsive to customers and their problems? What has been the experience of other municipalities with a longer track record than Enfield? • - what are the proposed rate scales and do hey compare favorably with the $8/month being paid by other Ulysses residents? Please let me know if I can be of further assistance in the decision making process. Thank you. Teas, 4 Trumansburg - f i PC . . ..

It is written to suggest in general terms the participation of the towns the village would require before embarking on the project, and the steps to be followed before that point is reached. We have a very rough ballpark figure of $300,00 for the total project cost including construction, architectural, legal and miscellaneous. We propose that the Village issue its serial bonds for that amount, amortized over a 10 year period. Attached is a schedule which shows that amortization of principal and interest at a rate of 9 1/2%, only for purposes of illustration. The Village proposes that, before bids are sought, it contract with each of the three towns for a contribution of a portion of these capital costs from each, based upon the assessed valuation in each township, and in the Village, after application of the State Equalization • Rate, excluding the assessed valuation of the Trumansburg Central School District property located in the Village. Also shown on the attached schedule is a development of that proposal to show the percentage of the total annual principal and interest payments on those serial bonds to be paid by each mmicipality. For your further information I have also shown application of those • . percentages to each annual bond payment. We, of course, expect no oovmitnent of any kind at this tine. However, before going any further, we would like a letter from each municipality indicating a c .neral approval of the concept. We would then proceed to engage architects for the purpose of providing firm figures which we could use for the bond referendum we would have to undertake. We would of course advise you of that figure before the next step was taken and, upon an indication of general approval of the concept from you, we would schedule a village referendum. If the project was then approved we would obtain detailed design documents enabling us to put the project out to bid. When bids are received we would then be able to enter into binding agreements between the Village and each of the towns with respect to contributory shares of the total project cost. • Please let me know if there is any further information I • can provid4 whjph would help you in your discussions of this matter.

D: 'd 0 In TOWN OF ULYSSES PLANNING BOARD MEETING 13 November 1985 Present: Roland Reynolds, Chairman; William Smith, Budd Stover, Tom Reitz , Seville Reulein, Marsha Georgia, Secretary. Others: James Meeker, Highway Superintendent Chairman Reynolds called the meeting to order at 7: 30 PM. Mr. Reynolds reported that Roger Williams and Associate of Jackson- ville has purchased the Agro-Bio Building. Mr. Williams has con- tacted Mr. Reynolds and will be coming to the Planning Board with a • Planned Development. At this time they are proposing to rent spaces ® out for use as offices. At least this is their thought for now. Mr. Reynolds thought that the Planning Board should put limitations on rentals. Mr. Reitz said it should be interesting. The new owners would like to rent to one individual. It may be difficult to cover a planned development for more than one use. Mr. Stover asked why this couldn' t be made a business district. Mr. Reitz replied that business districts have already been defined in the Zoning Ordinance. Mr. Reynolds has been in contact with Mr. Richard Parker. Mr. Parker does still want to go forward with his planned development at some point. What the Board has to decide is if they have to start all over again, or can the Board go forward with a tentative and have the hearing. Mr. Reitz stated the Board should check with the Town Attorney to see the ramifications for that. Mr. Parker was given six months after the Planning Board gave him preliminary approval to submit his final plans to the Planning Board and that six months expired in September. Preliminary approval was given to Mr. Parker on March 20th. , so on September 20th his six month time period expired. If any time during that time Mr. Parker had come to the Planning Board and asked for an extension, that could have been done without any problems. The inverse problems is that if the Planning Board does anything any affected land owner in the vicinity can come back on the Planning Board. Mr. Reynolds stated that he thinks they could go ahead and then have a hearing at the end. The general concensus of the Planning Board was to check with the Town Attorney, but before they do that they feel they should have in writing from Mr. Parker a request to continue. Mr. Reitz reported that David Zimet, Zoning Officer has requested the Town Board form a commission to be established to review the Zoning Ordinance and make suggestions for revisions. The Planning Board would like to see this done, but would like to have a Planning Board member serve on the Zoning Commissinn . The procedure would be Zoning Commission, Planning Board, then the Town Board for final approval. Mr. Reitz will report back to the • Town Board that the Planning Board recommends a Zoning Commission that will forward their results to the Planning Board who will then forward them to the Town Board. Mr. Reitz will be resigning from the Planning Board on January 1st to do his newly elected position on the Town Board. He would like to stay on as representative to the County Planning Board. Mr. Reitz reported on the sequence that the Town Board is going through regarding the flood plains. At the Town Board meeting last night a proposed interum regulations on flood prevention management plan. The hearing is scheduled for December 10th at 7 : 00 PM. James Meeker, Highway Superintendent attended tonights meeting in regard to the section in the sub-division regulations that pertain TOWN OP ULYSSES •. PLANNING BOARD MEETING 13 November 1985 • to streets and roads. Changes notes: • Page 25 , Section 281. 3 under Construction Specifications • #2 - delete Town will run ditches add, Town will maintain ditches after acceptance of road Page 26, Previously was deleted Page 26 will now remain Section 281 #5 - change to read 6" to 18" instead of 18" deep change 24" to 12" to 24" compacted depth; change 9" to 6" to 8" gravel base. #6 - remain as printed #7 - B-change to 20 min. K-change base gravel depth to 6" to 18" L-change to 12x24 total gravel depth. Pages 27 through 34 - Sections 282 - 285, would be to be used as guidelines for the Planning Board and the Highway Superintendent. • When a sub-divider is required to build a road don' t make it so difficult and expensive. Mr. Meeker suggested only to request a developer to single service treat the road not be required to pave the road. Mr. Meeker feels there should be no problem with roads if the specifications are followed and if the Highway Superintendent keeps on top of it all. Mr. Reynolds asked what the price would be to a developer per mile to construct a road to these specifications? Mr. Meeker replied that • it is hard to determine, it depends on contour of land, the soil, • whether a contractor was hired and etc. , roughly five to six thousand • a mile. A long discussion took place regarding enforcing sub-division regulations on either three or five lots. The Health Department starts enforcing regulations when land is divided into five or more parcels, the state is different. The Board is in agreement with most of the written regulations except the determination of when to start regulating. Previously it had been determined to regulate as follows - Rural sub-divisions be three or four lots • Minor sub-divisions be three or four lots • Major sub-divisions be five or more This determination must be made as when the dividing of land should come under Planning Board sub-division regulations. At what point the dividing of three or more or the dividing of five or more parcels? Mr. Reynolds stated he feels we do need regulations and that the ones drafted by Mr. Reitz give the Planning Board latitude. Mr. Reynolds feels the Board members should go home, read the regulations over • again and be ready at the next meeting to resolve. The next meeting is scheduled for December 4th at 7 : 30 PM. Mr. Reitz reminded everyone that he would be resigning January 1st which would create a vacancy and that they should be thinking of a replacement. III Chairman Reynolds thanked Mr. Meeker for attending and spending the time on the specifications in the regulations for sub-divisions and roads. Hearing no further business, Mr. Stover moved, seconded by Mr. Reulein to adjourn the meeting. Meeting adjourned at 9 : 35 PM. • Marsha L. Georgia Secretary • pm WISIMININMISP r air . . • TOWN OF ULYSSES PLANNING BOARD MEETING 1 4 December 1985 Present: Roland Reynolds, Chairman; Budd Stover, Tom Reitz, Marsha Georgia, Secretary. Mr. Reynolds called the meeting to order at 7 : 35 PM. Mr. Reitz had contacted Elizabeth Bixler regarding some questions that had been risen at the last Planning Board meeting. The question • • regarding Richard Parker' s planned development, now that it has passed • the six month expiration, as to what happens - should the Planning ' Board revoke their preliminary approval. According to Elizabeth ' s legal opinion of the State Law "a preliminary plat approval may be • revoked by the Planning Board after six months" ; the key word is may. The Planning Board need not necessarily, after the six month time, do anything. Mr. Reynolds feels it is in Parker' s ball park. Mr. Reynolds does however feel that after one year' s time , the Planning Board would revoke. In other words, this spring, if Mr. Parker has not submitted something, it should be revoked. Another item of interest. Roger Williams plans to come to the Regular . Town Board meeting on December 10th to submit a request for a Planned Development or possibly a request for a Business District. Mr. Williams and associate just bought property in Jacksonville - Agro-Bio. If . the Planning Board could meet and act on this request on December 18th then the Town Board could react to it at their January meeting. The Planning Board could meet on January 8th and still have their findings to the Town Board at their meeting on January 14th. . Don' t know at this time whether it is a Planned Development or Business District he is asking for. Will wait for his presentation. Discussion ensued; concerns from immediate residents in Jacksonville have been expressed. On the other hand, want something progressive to happen. • Mr. Reynolds said in his opinion, the only thing it is [the building] adaptable to is industry. Mr. Reitz attended a meeting of Route 96 and reported on alternatives. Ulysses Town Board has taken action and asked for Alternative C. Mr. Reynolds thinks option "C" is the only feasible one. New York State has said to make a decision now or they will take the money and put it elsewhere. Mr. Reitz stated he had received in the mail an executive summary of •} the need of County Office Space - including the Department of Social • Services. There are seven location pinpointed for consideration. A decision will be made on December 17th by the County Board of Reps . Mr. Reitz will bring this to the Town Board and ask them for a Resolution supporting one locaLlun. Mr. Reynolds stated he felt the Old Hospital is the most logical and Mr. Reitz agreed. County is already the owner of the property. Mr. Reitz asked if the Planning Board had an opinion to be sent to the Town Board. Mrs. Georgia asked . why the Planning Board didn' t send their own Resolution in support of • the Hospital location. Mr. Reitz moved to draft a Resolution in support of the Old Hospital I location for Social Services and all County opffices to be sent to the County Board of Reps. Mr. Stover seconded. RESOLVED: that the Planning Board of the Town of Ulysses recommends that the Biggs Complex (Old Tompkins County Hospital) be used as the site for the re- location of the Social Services and all other County offices . FURTHER RESOLVED: that the Planning Board of the Town of Ulysses strongly feels this location, out of the seven recommended would be the most advantageous for all County residents and the most feasible to all. t.

CLERK Present: Martin Luster, Supervisor; Carolyn Duddleston, Robert -• Weatherby, Councilpeople; Elizabeth Bixler, Town Attorney; Alan Roland, NYS/DOEC; Marsha Georgia, Town Clerk. Others Present: Doug Duddleston, Geri Speich - Free Press, Tom Reitz. • Mr. Luster called the Public Hearing to order at 7 : 00 PM. The Clerk Oread the legal notice as published. Mr. Luster summarized the proposed Local Law N3 , 1985. Generally this is an interim law that will .give the power to the Zoning Officer to enforce flood control regulations during a brief interim period for 90 days, which started upon publication of the legal by DOEC on November 26, 1985 , from the recently proposed flood control map. After that time the Town will be called upon to adopt a local law very similar to Local Law #3 , but with reference to that specific map. Local Law $3, 1985 will put us into compliance with the flood control program. Vary gene:rally it gives the Zoning Officer the power to pass upon flood control aspects of any building applications that comes his way. The Zoning Officer is to use the 1974 map, whether or not a building project is to be allowed in an area where it may be affected by floods. Mr. Reitz had several questions which Mr. Roland of DOEC answered but made no changes in the language of the local law. • TOWN OF ULYSSES PUBLIC HEARING 10 December 1985 -9- Mr. Roland clarified the wording of Development Permit which is not meant to be relevent to a Planned Development District. Mr. Reitz asked if the Zoning Officer can make the type of judgments called for in Section 4 . 3-1 page 4. Mr. Roland directs the Zoning Officers to direct the reference to the Federal Designated Flood Plain as opposed to Flood Plains. Make specific reference to the fact, that if you provide these mitigating measures or if you elevate your structure you are complying with the Federal regulations which will decrease the probability of being flooded. Mr. Roland stated to never say "you won' t be flooded" . The whole regulations are in a general manner and they define a standard ® by which the Zoning Officer of the community has some leeway to inter- pret and do various things for individual projects to meet that. If there are even any questions regarding the standards of the regulations or how to meet those standards, Mr. Roland is available, just call and he will work it out. Mrs. Duddleston asked how available. Mr. Roland stated, most always by phone and only needs a couple of days notice to attend any meeting. Mr. Reitz had a question on variance. Mr. Roland will send a copy of the Federal examples of hardship for variances. Mr. Roland stated that even after the 90 day period anyone can request changes and revisions. Requests should be based upon technical infor- mation. Mr. Reitz stated that most of the Zones we are dealing with are Zone A, where no base flood elevation has been determined. Mr. Roland said that those areas will never have an elevation, what has happened in those areas is the Federal Government has taken the easy way out and hasn't defined what they want to do there. However, there are two things to remember in those areas: when you build something you obviously cannot build a basement, if you build a slab at grade in an area that doesn't have an elevation, technically you would be meeting the requirements of the program, but the insurance, the Federal Insurance Administration, which is a seperate agency from the FIMA which developes the insurance rates, has a policy out that for unnumbered A Zones, they will base the rate on the height of the lowest floor above the highest adjacent grade. The cheapest rate is between two to four feet about the highest adjacent grade. Mr. Luster proposed that at the following Town Board Meeting, the Board acts on this law. It will give us more than three months to make any changes or revisions that are within the Federal regulations. • Mr. Reitz asked if we have on file a list of Historical Places in the • Town of Ulysses . Mr. Luster believes if there is such a list. we could obtain it through County Planning. Hearing no further comments or questions, Mr. Luster closed the Public Hearing at 7 : 45 PM. Marsha L.

Mr. Luster called the meeting of the Town Board of the Town of Ulysses to order at 8: 00 PM and led those in attendance in the Pledge of ® Allegiance to the Flag of the United States of America. Mrs . Duddleston moved, seconded by Mr. Weatherby to approve the minutes of the Regular Board Meeting of November 12, 1985; the Public Hearing on November 11 , 1985; and a Special Board Meeting on November 11 , 1985 . Unanimously approved. No report from the Trumansburg Fire Department. • Tom Reitz representing the Ulysses Planning Board, reported that the board has been working on the sub-division regulations and feels that a final draft will be forthcoming to the Town Board shortly. The next Planning Board will meet January 8 , 1986 . James Mason, Representative to the County Board of Reps reported that the County will meet December 17th to decide on the re-location of the department of Social Services. Seven locations have been discussed, out of the seven locations one still remains. Mr. Mason is leaning toward the support of this remaining location which is the Biggs Complex better known as the Old Tompkins County Hospital site. Mr. Mason has been soliciting as much input as he can get, between now and the date of the vote, so that he has a feel of what people in Ulysses and Enfield have on the issue. Mr. Mason is in receipt of a Resolution presented to him from Ulysses Planning Board in the support of the resolution for the re-bcation of Social Services and other County offices to the Biggs Complex. At this point, Mr. Mason is leaning his support to the Biggs Complex as the site for re-location. •_ The last two remaining sites that have received full consideration: . the site that houses the Social Services now, which belongs to Jason Fane and the purchase of a building from Morse Chain. Mr. Mason can not see any reason to purchase a different building when the County already owns one that would more than serve the purpose. At this time the County is also considering moving other offices to the Biggs Complex. Such as the Probation Department, which has requested the move. Planning Department also needs re-location. • Mr. Mason also reported on the bonding program established for the new Public Safety Building. One item included is a ten tower micro- wave unit system, which allows any police officer, fire personnel, ambulance personnel in the County to reach the dispatcher at any point in the County with a watt and a half portable radio. Considering • the terrain of the County, such as down in Taughannock Gorge, this is quite an accomplishment. This will involve a tower in the Village of Trumansburg, on of the ten sites. It will be the existing Water Tower I on Hector Street. This saves the cost of building a tower. This also completes a link that will give the micro-wave system a total loop, and allow direct line signal communication to Groton, Lansing and other townships in the County. Mr. Mason mentions this to the Town because this tower opens up the possibility for future use by the Town or Village as a micro-wave link between Village offices and Town offices to the County offices. For example, for computor lines into the County. This same micro system is also tied into the eleven Counties and the State. Mrs. Duddleston asked if Mr. Mason would like a motion or resolution from the Town Board supporting the relocation of Social Services and other County offices to the Biggs Complex? Mr. Mason stated that that would be very helpful to know what the Board' s position was . Mr. Mason TOWN OF ULYSSES a 71 REGULAR BOARD MEETING 10 December 1985 Page 2 has received support in favor from the Town of Enfield. Mrs . Duddleston moved, seconded by Mr. Herrick for the adoption of t the following resolution: RESOLVED: that the Town Board of the Town of Ulysses supports the relocation of the Tompkins County Social Service offices to the Biggs Complex also known as the Old Hospital site on Trumansburg Road. i BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED: that the Board supports the relocation of any or all County offices to the same location. Mr. Luster asked for discussion. Mr. Luster opposed the motion. He stated that he has not been deeply involved and has no alternatives 4 410 to offer. His gut feeling is that it is inappropriate to have the Department of Social Services outside the population center of the County. Most of the people that need that service are located in the City of Ithaca and he feels it creates hardship for a group of people that have hardship enough. To make them travel a distance to deal with the bureaucracy, to get assistance they need. Mr. Luster , . urges the County Board to exhaust every other possibility with the down town site. Because of this misgiving, Mr. Luster will vote against the proposed resolution. Mr. Mason responded stating that the County has exhausted every possibility. They have been studying this re-location for six years. The cost of renovating the existing location would be very large and they are leased from two landlords. The existing locations are substantially out of compliance. All the other sites looked into have not proved to be feasible. The consideration of delivery of services , has been given due consideration. Somewhere between thirty to forty percent of the recipients of services are residents of the City of Ithaca, somewhere between sixty to seventy percent are residents ' ' of Tompkins County. It may be just as inconvient for those residents to access service in the City as for City residents to access service out of the City. With proper consideration for those people who do have problems accessing the service, such as people without their own transportaion, Mr. Mason feels they can in fact provide very high quality human services campus on West Hil
