Report of Fire Superintendent Tamborelle: (Exhibit FYE2016-047) An update on improvements to 825Hanshaw Road was provided by Superintendent of Public Works Cross. All siding was removed and it has been confirmed that there is no sidewall insulation. Estimates to rent equipment and purchase cellulose insulation will be gathered. A decision on a vinyl siding color will need to be made; there is a two day delivery on the siding. Village Historian Szekely remarked that during the rain storm on July 14, the fire department responded to flooding on her street that was causing water to flow into her garage. The storm drain adjacent to her home was cleared and water was pumped from the garage which prevented further water damage. 6. Privilege of the Floor (PoF): No members of the public to speak. 7. Report of the Mayor a. Proposed Local Law C of the year 2015: Although the Board of Trustees has passed a resolution (#7615) repealing Local Law 2015-1 to override the tax levy limit established in General Municipal Law §3-c, it is deemed appropriate that a local law shall be passed to rescind Local Law 2015-1. To this end, a Public Hearing on Proposed Local Law C of the year 2015 (Exhibit FYE2016-048) is scheduled. Resolution #7679 BE IT RESOLVED THAT: The Village of Cayuga Heights Board of Trustees directs a Public Hearing to be scheduled at 7:00 p.m. on September 21, 2015 covering Local Law 2015-C the purpose of which is to rescind Local Law 2015-1 Motion: Acting Mayor Salton Second: Trustee Robinson Ayes: Acting Mayor Salton; Trustees Biloski, Friend, Robinson, and Woodard Nays & Abstentions: none Motion carried b. Appointment of Patricia Longoria as Deputy Village Historian: Historian Bea Szekely addressed the Board of Trustees. She listed the many accomplishments of Ms. Longoria as a member of the Historic Preservation Committee. Some of her efforts were targeted towards preparation for and celebration of the Village Centennial. Her dedicated work has produced documentation that will live on and which gives current and future residents a picture of the past that had not previously existed. She authored From Farm to Suburb: A History of Place Names in Cayuga Heights, Ithaca, New York, copies of which Historian Szekely distributed along with her own history of Marcham Hall. Ms. Longoria’s current project is to catalog all the maps stored in the attic at Marcham. With the information gleaned from this labor, storage requirements will be available. It has been decided that documents uncovered from research performed by the Historians and Preservationists will be stored on the Laserfiche® document management system. Additionally, it is clear that all research respects the privacy of individual homeowners. When creating the history of a home, only past residents are to be cited. Open items are whether or not all documents stored in Laserfiche® are FOILable and if the county has any plans to facilitate scanning of oversized maps. Acting Mayor Salton appoints Patricia Longoria to serve as Deputy Historian for the remainder of the official year. Resolution #7680 BE IT RESOLVED THAT: The Board of Trustees of the Village of Cayuga Heights approves the appointment of Patricia Longoria to serve as Deputy Historian for the remainder of the official year. Motion: Trustee Robinson Second: Trustee Friend Ayes: Acting Mayor Salton; Trustees Biloski, Friend, Robinson, and Woodard Nays & Abstentions: none Motion carried 8. Report of the Trustees: Trustee Woodard, Chair of the IT Committee outlined progress made by the group. A meeting was held and another is scheduled for later in the week. Vendors have been identified, but contact has not yet been made. Acting Mayor Salton added that he has been able to confirm that both fiber (Corning) and copper (for telephony) exists between Marcham Hall and the fire station. The Fire Council contracts with Finger Lakes Technology Group for its internet. If the village server were to be relocated to the fire station, the fiber line serving the council would need to be partitioned to isolate the municipal server. There is also copper and fiber connecting Marcham Hall to the strip mall to its northeast. Connectivity to the DPW facility is unlikely to be fiber due to cost constraints, at least for the near future. There is confusion with Clarity Connect related to the agreed billing amount for a three month trial of internet connectivity. The IT Committee may ask potential providers to present service overviews to the committee at an upcoming meeting. The system maintenance contract with Sherpa Technologies was discussed. Resolution #7681 BE IT RESOLVED THAT: The Board of Trustees of the Village of Cayuga Heights agrees that Mayor Supron will sign a service contract with Sherpa Technologies for the remainder of the fiscal year ending on May 31, 2016. Motion: Trustee Woodard Second: Trustee Biloski Ayes: Acting Mayor Salton; Trustees Biloski, Friend, Robinson, and Woodard Nays & Abstentions: none Motion carried 9. Report of Chief Steinmetz: (Exhibit FYE2016-051a, b) There were no questions on the submitted report Car #124 is now surplus; the 2011 Ford Crown Victoria is ready to be sold. Resolution #7682 BE IT RESOLVED THAT: The Board of Trustees of the Village of Cayuga Heights approves the sale of one 2011 Ford Crown Victoria and authorizes the Treasurer to publish notice of bid in the Ithaca Journal and other venues as appropriate. Motion: Trustee Woodard Second: Trustee Friend Ayes: Acting Mayor Salton; Trustees Biloski, Friend, Robinson, and Woodard Nays & Abstentions: none Motion carried Chief Steinmetz inquired if Trustee Biloski wished to discuss development of the village’s Emergency Management Plan. Trustee Biloski reported that discussions with Mayor Supron resulted in her proposal to hold a Department Head Meeting upon the Mayor’s return. Roles of the various Department Heads will be defined at that time. Subsequently roles for the Trustees will be defined. 10. Report of Superintendent of Public Works Cross: (Exhibit FYE2016-052) Utilization of the NYSDEC approved TR-55 computer program to determine the amount of hydrologic run-off and the Federal Highway Administration ’s design standards for selection of the proper hydraulic capacity for new culvert pipes has provided technology based guidance to stormwater project planning. It may be the public’s expectation that infrastructure modifications will handle any and all rain events. This is unlikely to be an accurate prospect since federal standards are to design for 25 year rain event metrics and the area has experienced multiple 100 year rain events over the past few years. On August 14, 2015 the State Pollutant Elimination System (SPDES) five year permit renewal for the wastewater treatment plant was received from the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation Division of Environmental Permits. The permit effective date is August 12, 2015 and expires on July 31, 2020. Superintendent Cross also shared information on an upcoming building code change that will affect all NYS residents. Every new home in NYS will need a sprinkler system as required in the International Code. 11. Report of Clerk & Treasurer Mangione (Exhibit FYE2016-040) Resolution #7683 BE IT RESOLVED THAT: The Village of Cayuga Heights Board of Trustees authorizes the Treasurer to advertise the position of Assistant Superintendent of Public Works in the Ithaca Journal for three days and to list the position on the CareerBuilder website for a month for an expenditure not to exceed $613.54. Motion: Trustee Woodard Second: Trustee Robinson Ayes: Acting Mayor Salton; Trustees Biloski, Friend, Robinson, and Woodard Nays & Abstentions: none Motion carried The Board discussed staffing levels in the Clerk’s office. Resolution #7684 BE IT RESOLVED THAT: The Village of Cayuga Heights Board of Trustees authorizes budgetary modifications necessary to change the position of Information Aide from part-time to full-time and to retain the current Information Aide, Tayo Johnson, in the new full time position. Motion: Trustee Friend Second: Trustee Biloski Ayes: Acting Mayor Salton; Trustees Biloski, Friend, Robinson, and Woodard Nays & Abstentions: none Motion carried Resolution #7685 BE IT RESOLVED THAT: Abstract #3 for FYE2016 consisting of TA vouchers 15 - 24 in the amount of $16,204.10 and Consolidated Fund vouchers 108 - 193 in the amount of $799,399.15 is approved and the Treasurer is instructed to make payments thereon. Motion: Trustee Woodard Second: Trustee Robinson Ayes: Acting Mayor Salton; Trustees Biloski, Friend, Robinson, and Woodard Nays & Abstentions: none Motion carried 12. Report of the Attorney: No report. Meeting of the Village of Cayuga Heights Board of Trustees was adjourned by Acting Mayor Salton at 9:25 p.m. EXHIBIT 2016-055 September 4, 2015 Honorable Kate Supron Board of Trustees Village of Cayuga Heights Monthly Report August 2015 We closed out August with 39 runs. There were 26 calls in the Village of Cayuga Heights, 10 calls in the Town of Ithaca and 3 mutual aid requests. We had 19 EMS responses and 20 fire calls. We did respond to two reported fires in our district in August. Both fires were caused by cooking and were contained to the stove. Rapid response by our department and mutual aid departments kept these incidents small. Late in the month we again had an incident at 106 Cayuga Heights Road, the Sigma Chi Fraternity. We responded to find an activated alarm during a party. It appears some type of liquid was sprayed into a heat detector head in the main party room. We were unable to get the system to reset so it was left in alarm, the party was shut down and they were put on fire watch. This is another in a long series of incidents at this fraternity. We are meeting with the leadership of the fraternity as well representatives from Cornell’s Office of Fraternity and Sorority Affairs on September 3rd to express our concern about the continuous issues with this particular house. As we were dealing with the incident at 106 Cayuga Heights Road we were request for a FAST response to Dryden for a working fire on Main Street. The FAST team responded and stood by the fire until suppression was complete and then assisted with overhaul of the structure. It was a very long night for the department as the initial call went out at 11:15 and we did not return to the station until 2:30 in the morning. August saw the release of several new EMS protocols by New York State. All of the department’s EMTs were required to sit through a 2 hour lecture on use of tourniquets for bleeding control and new spinal immobilization protocols. After the lecture we scheduled a certified instructor to come to the station on September 3rd to do the skills portion of the new protocols at which time we will be compliant with the Department of Health. As far as we know we are the first agency in the area to be 100% compliant with these new standards. Our Rescue Director Colleen Price has been the driving force behind making this happen. As our members returned to the area from summer break Lieutenants Berger and Gladstone put together a welcome back training focused on hand-line movement and water supply. The training was well attended and it seemed to get everybody back in a good mindset for the upcoming year. The 825 Hanshaw siding project is well under way by the end of August. After removing the old siding it was determined that there was no insulation whatsoever in the walls of the house. The DPW rented an insulation blower and placed blown in insulation into the void spaces between the interior and exterior walls. They did find some structural issues with the house that they are working on before they complete the siding project. The interior of the house was painted and cleaned in preparation for the new tenants. These were much needed projects for the house and hopefully with these things done the house will be in great shape for a many years. I truly appreciate all the work the DPW has put into the project. Several of us visited the KME plant in Pennsylvania for the prebuild conference for the new truck. We went through the spec line by line and worked with the manufacturer to clear up any issues. The truck in now in the production stage and scheduled for delivery sometime in the spring of 2016. We are getting several inquiries a day from people interested in our fall recruit class. The members have been on campus and in the community getting the word out about volunteer opportunities. The department is going to be involved in a safety fair on North Campus on September 9th where we will give safety pointers and be handing out information about the department. We are hopeful that there will be a good turnout at the informational dinner on September 24th and we end up with a good pool of candidates for our fall class. Movie night wound up on August 13th with a showing of “Back to the Future”. It was a fantastic summer of movies and community involvement. Everybody who attended seemed to enjoy themselves immensely. We used about 10 boxes of popcorn, handed out around 600 Freezee pops, chopped up a dozen watermelons and gave away several hundred ice cream sandwiches throughout the summer. The members had a great time and all who attended the movies seemed to really enjoy themselves. We are gearing up for a busy fall with the recruit classes, the open house and Fire Prevention Week. Sincerely, George Tamborelle Fire Chief/Fire Superintendent EXHIBIT 2016-056 BE IT RESOLVED THAT: The Proposed Local Law C of 2015: Rescind Local Law 1 of the Year 2015: A Local Law to Override the Tax Levy Limit Established in General Municipal Law §3-c.

This modification agreement may be executed in multiple counterparts which, when taken together, shall constitute a complete document even though each of the counterparts may not bear the signatures of all of the parties. IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties have executed this agreement to become effective as of the day and year set forth above. SIGNATURE PAGES FOR ALL PARTIES FOLLOW EXHIBIT I SCLIWC - BOLTON POINT WATER SYSTEM 2016 WATER RATE SCHEDULE EFFECTIVE JANUARY 1, 2016 RATE STRUCTURE: The flat rate charge per 1,000 gallons shall be non-fluctuating and equal to four dollars and forty four cents ($4.44). This rate is equal to three dollars and thirty two cents ($3.32) per 100 cubic feet. The foregoing rate will be the rate charged for all regular quarterly bills sent after January 1, 2016. Actual or base consumption may occur prior to January 1, 2016. MINIMUM BASE CHARGES: Notwithstanding the foregoing rate structure, the following minimum base charges shall be applicable to the meter size indicated below, for regular quarterly bills sent after January 1, 2016. The table below shows the amount of water consumption that is permitted before the minimum base charge would be exceeded: BASE MINIMUM BASE METER SIZE CONSUMPTION CHARGE (INCHES) (GALLONS) (DOLLARS) 3/4 10,000 44.40 1 30,000 133.20 1-1/2 45,000 199.80 2 90,000 399.60 3 140,000 621.60 4 200,000 888.00 ≥6 350,000 1,554.00 Multiple Housing and mobile home parks of over two dwelling units, using a master meter, will be computed as follows: The quarterly master meter reading will be divided by the number of dwelling units and the water charge will be figured on this number as if the unit was individually metered. The water charge will then be multiplied by the number of units on the master meter and this will be the billing rendered. If the calculation of the water consumed per dwelling unit is less than the allowable consumption for a three-quarter inch meter, then the billing will be calculated by multiplying the number of units on the master meter times the minimum base charge for a three-quarter inch meter (e.g., if there were 20 dwelling units on the master meter, and total water consumption shown by the master meter was 100,000 gallons, the Commission billing would be $888.00 (20 units times $44.40) rather than $444.00 (100,000 gallons at $4.44/1000 gallons)) An annual charge for each fire protection main serving a fire suppression system will be billed along with the first quarterly water bill of the calendar year.
