2. Report of Fire Superintendent Tamborelle: (Exhibit FYE2016-065)
The Recruiting Open House was a great success.
The Annual Cayuga Heights Elementary School PTA Fundraising Auction will be held at the Fire Station again this
year. The required insurance form has been received and the permit has been issued for the November 7th event.
The parking lot at the fire station has been paved and striped.
The fall training classes of sixteen recruits are off to a good start as detailed in the September report. There are two
local residents in the class.
New residents are now settled into the village-owned house at 825 Hanshaw Road. Their rent will be prorated to their
move-in date. An overhang will be added to the back stairway to keep snow and ice off the steps.
3. Privilege of the Floor (PoF):
No members of the public to speak.
Mayor Supron suggested that review of the two applications for food service operating permits on the agenda should take
place prior to her report. Superintendent/Zoning Officer Cross reviewed the applicable permitting process. Permits for such
food service business are subject to Zoning Section 4.2.c. “…restaurant or dairy bar for the serving of food and beverages,
but only on “special approval” of the Board of Trustees…shall determine, after public hearing…such use is in the general
welfare of the Village…”
4. Permit Application: LonaCakes Café and Bakery (EXHIBIT 2016-071 pages 1 – 4; identified on the Agenda as
EXHIBIT 2016-070)
As described in the Summary in EXHIBIT 2016-071 page 3, the Café and Bakery will have an on-site bakery for
custom, per-order-only business and will offer counter service comprised of seating for fifteen, including a tasting and
cake consultation area and a coffee bar. Pre-made cakes, cake in individual portions, cake pralines, cake bites, cake
pops, cupcakes, ice cream and coffee for both eat-in and take-out will be available.
In regards to SEQR review, before the Board of Trustees reaches its determination, a SEQR short form it will need to
be completed. Attorney Marcus explained that this type of action is not listed as exempt from SEQR. Until such time
as Village Zoning Code may be rewritten to treat permit requests of this nature as an administrative action on the part
of the Village Code Officer, the Board of Trustees will need to continue to follow this process.
Resolution #7701
BE IT RESOLVED THAT: The Board of Trustees of the Village of Cayuga Heights authorizes the scheduling of a
Public Hearing to be held on November 16, 2015 at 7:00 p.m. to hear comment on the granting of a permit to LonaCakes

5. Report of the Mayor:
a. Proposed Local Law 2015-D: A Local Law to Establish Solar Energy Collector Requirements (EXHIBIT 2015-066)
Mayor Supron with assistance from Fred Cowett drafted the text presented in the exhibit. She anticipates that over the
course of the next month each trustee will have an opportunity to familiarize themselves with the draft and direct their
questions and suggestions to her. The expectation being that a refined draft will be available for the November meeting
and will allow a Public Hearing to be scheduled.
Several questions about efficiency, fire fighter safety, and the NYS Unified Solar Permit Application form were shared
and discussed. Further information gathering is necessary. Among other changes, the law will need to include an
enforcement section.
b. Zoning Review Committee:
After another run through by the committee, the draft will be forwarded to Attorney Marcus. One of the defined
goals of review process is to include all local laws pertaining to zoning within the final document.
c. Shared Services:
Shared Services grant money will become available through the state in the near future. The TCCOG Committee
has identified a need for a common accounting platform. Smaller municipalities in the area use budget-affordable
accounting software that is less user-friendly. Before other workflow processes can be combined, a uniform basic
accounting system should be in place.
NYS has rejected the countywide Government Efficiency Plan that was submitted by the county on behalf of all
local governments back in June.
The plan bundled the health costs savings associated with the Consortium's dependent eligibility initiative plus the
County's adoption of both the Consortium's new Platinum Plan and a higher drug co-pay offered by the
Consortium. There were documented tangible countywide cost savings that averaged $1.7 million per year--well
beyond the State's saving threshold of 2% of combined tax levies.
The State has taken the position that calculation of the County's negotiated health benefit savings must deduct the
cost of any negotiated wage growth. The State is saying that the savings in health benefits were simply converted
to higher wages rather than to tax relief.
The County countered that because our wage growth was not out of line with CPI, the State's wage schedule, or
general wage growth in NYS, our $1.7 million in documented benefit savings represented a true savings and
should be counted fully.
It is suggested that an Article 78 appeal may be in order on the basis that the determination is arbitrary and
capricious. NYCOM’s legal department will be contacted for advisement.
d. Appointment of Wies Van Leuken to the TWC Access Oversight Committee (AOC):
A new AOC term begins on January 1, 2016 and runs for three years. The City of Ithaca would like the Village of
Cayuga Heights Board of Trustees to approve Ms. Leuken for a term consistent with the city’s term. She has been
appointed by the Mayor and approved by the Board each April at the Organizational Meeting for one official year. The
Village has done everything within its balance of authority and cannot change the manner in
EXHIBIT 2016-076 page 3 of 5
which appointees are approved annually. Certification will be sent to the city’s representative each year regarding the
reappointment.
e. Waiver of Special Event Permit Application Fee for CHES PTS Auction:
Resolution #7703
BE IT RESOLVED THAT: The Board of Trustees of the Village of Cayuga Heights waives the twenty-five dollar
($25.00) Special Permit Application Fee for the Charity Auction to be held by the Cayuga Heights Elementary School PTA
on November 7, 2015 at the Ronald E. Anderson Fire Station.
Motion: Trustee Salton
Second: Trustee Biloski
Discussion: Chief Steinmetz added that they also registered as a vendor.
Ayes: Trustees Friend, Marshall, Robinson, Salton; and Woodard
Nay & Abstentions: none
Motion carried
6. Report of the Trustees:
Trustee Biloski reported on progress to draft an Emergency Plan for the village. She reminded the Board that National
Incident Management System (NIMS) training needs to be completed. She gave helpful hints for successful completion of
NIMS series 700 and 100. The next committee meeting is scheduled for November 10th at 1:00 p.m.
Trustee Woodard shared that members of the Information Technology Committee met with Finger Lakes Technology
Group (FLTG). It sounds as if they have the capability to provide both phone and internet solutions. They will be preparing
a written proposal. Feedback on FLTG’s responsiveness to problem resolution has been mixed. Prior to presentation and
recommendation to the Board of Trustees, additional references will be checked.
7. Report of Chief Steinmetz: (Exhibit FYE2016-067a, b)
There were no questions on the Chief’s report. A part-time police officer has submitted his resignation. The Mayor
called for an Executive Session.
Resolution # 7704
BE IT RESOLVED THAT: An Executive Session of the Village of Cayuga Heights Board of Trustees is deemed
appropriate by virtue of §105 of the NYS Open Meeting Law subsection (f) the medical, financial, credit or employment
history of a particular person or corporation, or matters leading to the appointment, employment, promotion, demotion,
discipline, suspension, dismissal or removal of a particular per son or corporation.

Chief Steinmetz left the meeting at 8:20 p.m.
8. Report of Superintendent of Public Works Cross: (Exhibit FYE2016-068; omitted from the list on the Agenda)
As the report shows, the crew has been really busy.
a. Marcham Hall Roof Repair authorization: Exhibit FYE2016-069 pages 1 – 3; identified on the
Agenda as EXHIBIT 2016-068)
The Charles F. Evans Company has submitted a proposal covering two distinct Scopes of Work. Fortunately
Scope of Work #1 is moot due to findings by a police officer who surveyed the roof from the attic during a heavy
rain event.
Superintendent Cross is of the opinion that a different solution to the problem targeted for repair by Scope of
Work #2 would be optimal. However, if his solution is undertaken and the resulting construction did not resolve
the problem, the Village would have no recourse for correction. He is therefore advising that the Board approve
Scope of Work #2 as proposed. Concerns were raised that the slate roof may be nearing the end of its useful life.
Resolution # 7707
BE IT RESOLVED THAT: The Village of Cayuga Heights Board of Trustees authorizes Mayor Supron to sign a
contract with the Charles F. Evans Company to perform work identified as Scope of Work #2 on their Roof Repair
Proposal dated August 26, 2015 for an amount not to exceed sixteen thousand, three hundred ninety-six dollars
($16,396.00).
Motion: Trustee Salton
Second: Trustee Robinson
Ayes: Trustees Biloski, Friend, Marshall, Robinson, Salton, and Woodard
Nays and Abstentions: none
Motion carried
b. WWTP – GHD Consulting Services: (Exhibit FYE2016-072 pages 1 – 7; identified on the Agenda as EXHIBIT
2016-071)
GHD Consulting Services was formerly known as Sterns and Wheeler; the Village has a long working
relationship with them. Exhibit A found on page 7 of the Agreement labeled Exhibit 2016-072 contains a Scope of
Services for three tasks. Superintendent Cross explained the requirement for each of them in order.
Task 1 The Village, under US EPA Regulation, must process industrial waste for a new manufacturing facility in
the Village of Lansing. GHD will assist the Village with review of a wastewater discharge permit application and
potential permitting. There is a long term financial commitment from M/A-COM Technology Solutions Holdings,
Inc. to the Village for monthly testing of the facilities’ discharge.
Task 2 Bio-solids are a by-product of wastewater treatment. The Village’s current hauler will no longer be
offering the service at the same price. The City of Ithaca is willing to talk with the Village regarding acceptance of
bio-solids from the Village, however they require a feasibility report containing an analysis of the hydro
component of the product.
Task 3 Current replacement cost estimates for each wastewater unit processes are needed for appropriate levels of
insurance and for Homeland Security purposes.
GHD will provide the documentation needed for each of these tasks as further defined in the Agreement.
Resolution # 7708
BE IT RESOLVED THAT: The Village of Cayuga Heights Board of Trustees authorizes Mayor Supron to sign a
contract with GHD Consulting Services Inc. to perform work identified as Scope of Services 1, 2, and 3 on their
Agreement between the parties for Professional Services associated with the Cayuga Heights Wastewater Treatment Plant
dated October 2015.

9. Report of Clerk & Treasurer Mangione (Exhibit FYE2016-073a,b; identified on the Agenda as EXHIBIT 2016-
072)
Resolution #7709
BE IT RESOLVED THAT: Abstract #5 for FYE2016 consisting of TA vouchers 38 - 46 in the amount of $16,216.18
and Consolidated Fund vouchers 285 - 363 in the amount of $228,344.32 is approved and the Treasurer is instructed to
make payments thereon.
Motion: Trustee Woodard
Second: Trustee Robinson
Ayes: Trustees Biloski, Friend, Marshall, Robinson, Salton, and Woodard
Nays & Abstentions: none
Motion carried
The Board agrees that the Village’s surcharge for water rents will remain at 79% for the 2016 calendar year. The
combined water and sewer minimum payment per quarter for a single unit dwelling will be $101.00. Since this
represents no change, no action is required.
10. Report of the Attorney:
Attorney Marcus advised the Board that since he counsels the Village on planning and building related matters and a
petition is currently on the Zoning Board agenda for November which presents a conflict of interest for his firm,
should the Zoning Board desire legal representation a different attorney should be retained.
Resolution # 7710
BE IT RESOLVED THAT: An Executive Session of the Village of Cayuga Heights Board of Trustees is deemed
appropriate by virtue of §105 of the NYS Open Meeting Law subsection (f) the medical, financial, credit or employment

Village of Cayuga Heights
Monthly Report October 2015
The fire department ran 48 calls in October. There were 24 calls in the Village of Cayuga Heights, 22
calls in the Town of Ithaca and 2 mutual aid requests. We had 30 EMS responses and 18 fire calls.
We finished the fall recruit classes on October 31st and the probationary members are working through
their checklists now. All checklist work must be completed by the first Sunday in March. We did
have two of the recruits decide not to continue with training. One of them decided that she had
misjudged time commitment and the other decided that he was not prepared physically. Both were
encouraged to reapply in the spring if their situations changed. As busy as it was with the recruit
classes on three consecutive Saturdays in October we still continued with weekly trainings as well.
We held our annual Open House in early October and it was very well attended for a chilly and
overcast day. Our members love to open up the station and do demonstrations for the community at
this event. We were very pleased that the Cayuga Heights Police and the Army National Guard were
able to join us and display their equipment. Unfortunately we did not get a helicopter this year
because of the inclement weather. On Halloween we took the trucks out into the community and
handed out candy to the kids. This year we had been at training all day for the final recruit class and
then most of the people who had been at training all day went out for trick or treating with the trucks.
In late October we had all of our ground ladders and the aerial on L231 third party tested. This is an
annual requirement. We did have two of the ground ladders fail the test for an easily repaired reason
and they have since been put back in service. The aerial on L231 was found to have two cracked rub
pads that go between the fly sections of the ladder. This item failed the ladder during testing and they
need to be replaced. The parts are on order from Tyler Fire, our truck repair facility. The rub pads are
sold as complete sets and we have found out are quite expensive. We will be able to fit this cost into
the maintenance budget.
It seems that all the work we had done on the HVAC units last summer is paying off as the weather
turns colder. The old air handling units tended to run constantly and did not seem to be able to
maintain the station at a constant temperature. The new units are very quiet and we are not seeing the
temperature fluctuations that we have been plagued with for years. The station parking lot is paved
and striped. There were some issues during paving due to cooler temperatures at the beginning of the
day. SuitKote is aware of this and we will take a look at the parking lot in the spring after a winter of
snow and see how it holds up. If there are issues then SuitKote is aware and will work with us to
ensure that we are pleased with the job. It does not look like the front pad concrete project will get
done this fall and it will move to a spring time project for the DPW.
The bunking rooms at the station are full and the bunkers are doing a great job keeping things looking
good at the station. We will have a couple of the bunkers graduating in the spring but we are already
getting interest for the open rooms. This program remains robust. There is a group of MBA students
from the Johnson School working with the Tompkins County Fire Chiefs Association who will be
coming to the station in early November to look over our recruiting and training program. Several of
the other fire chiefs in that area pointed them our way as an example of how a positive recruiting
program works.
Sincerely,
George Tamborelle
Fire Chief/Fire Superintendent

PROPOSED LOCAL LAW D OF THE YEAR 2015
A LOCAL LAW TO ESTABLISH
SOLAR ENERGY COLLECTOR REQUIREMENTS
Be it enacted by the Board of Trustees of the Village of Cayuga Heights as follows:
Section 1 Legislative Intent: It is the intent of this local law to facilitate the use of solar
energy collectors to encourage renewable energy, but also recognizes that regulation of the
construction, placement, and operation of solar collectors are matters of public importance involving
issues of safety, neighborhood character, and possible depreciated property values by reason of
improperly installed, placed, maintained, or operated collectors.
Section 2 Authority: This local law is adopted pursuant to…
Section 3 Generally Applicable Standards: All solar energy collectors shall be subject to the
following requirements:
1. Solar energy collectors shall be permitted only to provide power for use by owners, lessees,
tenants, residents, or other occupants of the premises on which they are erected, but nothing
contained in this provision shall be construed to prohibit the sale of excess power through “net
metering” or “net billing” or a similar program in accordance with New York Public Service Law
66-J or similar state or federal statute;
2. Solar collectors shall be designed, located, and tilted to prevent reflective glare toward inhabited
buildings on adjacent properties and toward vehicles on adjacent roads, and shall not be
unnecessarily, bright, shiny, garish, or reflective;
3. Solar energy collectors shall be located in areas and ways which most mitigate their visibility from
surrounding properties;
4. Solar energy collectors shall be considered structures for the purpose of compliance with Village
laws and ordinances, shall require a building permit and certificate of occupancy issued by the
Village’s Code Enforcement Officer, and shall comply in their design, construction, and operation
with all other Village laws and ordinances, unless specifically excluded by this section.
Rooftop mounted solar collectors are permitted in all zoning districts in the Village. Building
permits shall be required for installation of rooftop mounted solar collectors, subject to the
following requirements:
1. The area covered by collectors shall not exceed eighty (80) percent of the entire roof area;
2. There shall be a five (5) foot minimum set back from all roof edges;
3. On a pitched roof, collectors shall be mounted no more than twelve (12) inches above the
roofing surface to which they are affixed, and shall not extend beyond the highest point of the
roof;
4. On a flat roof, collectors shall be installed in a manner and to a height that minimizes their
visibility from surrounding properties and roads, but still maintains their functional integrity
and viability;
5. Where possible, shall be color-coordinated to harmonize with roof materials and other
predominant colors of the structure.
EXHIBIT 2016-066 page 2 of 2
Ground-mounted solar collectors are permitted as an accessory use in all zoning districts of the
Village, subject to the following requirements:
1. Collectors shall be located in side or rear yards;
2. Collector locations meet all applicable setback requirements of the zone in which they are located;
3. The height of any collector and any mount shall not exceed 15 feet from ground elevation at any
point when oriented at maximum tilt;
4. The total surface area of all such collectors on any one lot shall not exceed 500 square feet;
5. The area beneath any collector shall be included in the calculation of lot area coverage;
6. The area beneath any collector shall be considered impervious surface and subject to the Village’s
Local Law for Stormwater Management;
7. Any collector may not be sited within a riparian streamside buffer or any buffer required for some
other conservation purpose;
8. A building permit is required prior to any collector and mount installation;
9. Such installations should employ where practicable vegetative landscape screening and, if
necessary, other screening methods which harmonize with the character of the property and
surrounding neighborhood to minimize collector and mount visibility from adjacent properties and
roads;
10. Installations should minimize view blockage from and shadow impacts on neighboring properties;
11. Installations must be performed by a qualified solar installer;
12. Prior to operation, all electrical connections must be inspected by the Village’s Code Enforcement
Officer and by an appropriate electrical inspection person or agency as determined by the Village;
13. If applicable, any connection to the public utility grid must be inspected by the appropriate public
utility;
14. When solar storage batteries are included as part of the solar collector system, they must be placed
in a secure container or enclosure meeting the requirements of the New York State Building Code
when in use and, when no longer used, shall be disposed of in accordance with the laws and
regulations of Tompkins County and other applicable laws and regulations;
15. If a collector ceases to perform its originally intended function for more than twelve (12)
consecutive months, the property owner shall remove the collector, mount, and associated
equipment and facilities by no later than ninety (90) days after the end of the twelve (12) month
period;
16. For a project that requires site plan approval, and which also includes the installation of ground-
mounted solar collectors, the site plan review shall include review of the adequacy, location,
arrangement, size, design, and general site compatibility of any proposed collector.
Section 4 Severability: If a court determines that any clause sentence paragraph subdivision
or part of this local law or the application thereof to any person firm or corporation or circumstance is
invalid or unconstitutional the court order or judgment shall not affect impair or invalidate the
remainder of this local law but shall be confined in its operation to the clause sentence paragraph
subdivision or part of this Local Law or in its application to the person individual firm or corporation
or circumstance directly involved in the controversy in which such judgment or order shall be
rendered.
Section 5 Effective Date: This Local Law shall take effect immediately upon filing with the
Secretary of State.

To: The Honorable Mayor Supron
Members of the Board of Trustees
Village of Cayuga Heights
Re: Report of the Police Department for October, 2015
In the month of October the police department received 293 calls for service. In addition to these calls 131
uniform traffic tickets were issued and 1 parking violation was cited. A breakdown of the calls for service is as
follows:
4 felony burglary complaints were received. All 4 reports of burglaries consisted of residents stating that their
unlocked garages had been entered in the overnight hours. No evidence of forced entry was observed or
reported. During the investigation of these incidents is was found that unknown suspects were entering the
garages to gain access to resident’s vehicles. See below for reports of larceny from a motor vehicle and/or
trespass.
9 penal law misdemeanor incidents were handled, 1 for criminal mischief, 1 for fraud, 6 for larceny, and 1 for
drugs. The criminal mischief complaint involved a resident stating that their deceased relative’s grave stone
had been vandalized by an angry family member. The investigation is ongoing. The fraud complaint involved
a resident reporting that a 2015 tax return had been filed in his name. At the time the resident attempted to
submit his tax return for this year, he was told that a claim had already been filed. The resident has already
turned a complaint into the IRS and was required to make a report with their local law enforcement agency. The
6 larceny complaints all consisted of residents stating that their unsecured vehicles had been entered in the
overnight hours and various items were taken. Items reported to be missing consisting mainly of cash and loose
change, however other items such as credit cards and small electronic devices. These incidents remain under
investigation. The drug incident was initiated during the investigation of a traffic stop. A subject was found to
be in possession of a controlled substance as well as a hypodermic instrument. An arrest was made and drug
charges as well at vehicle and traffic charges were filed.
8 vehicle and traffic stops led to 10 misdemeanor charges. 1- Driving While Intoxicated, 1-Operating a motor
vehicle with .08 of 1% alcohol in the blood, 2-DWAI-Alcohols and Drugs Combined, 4-Aggravated Unlicensed
Operation of a Motor Vehicle 3rd, 2-Suspended Registration.
4 Penal Law violations were handled, 1 for Trespass and 3 for Unlawful Possession of Marijuana. The trespass
complaint came in as a resident stating that their unsecured vehicle had been entered by an unknown subject
during the overnight hours. No items were reported missing. During 3 vehicle and traffic stops subjects were
found to be in possession of Marijuana and were arrested on charges of UPM.
3 Local Law violations for dog control were reported. The first dog complaint consisted of a resident stating
that 2 dogs had gotten loose. The complainant stated that the dogs belonged to a neighbor and had wandered
into their yard as well as the street. Upon officer’s arrival, the dogs were secured. The complainant did not
wish to pursue a citation and wanted to remain anonymous. The second complaint was of dogs fighting. Upon
officer’s arrival the fighting had ceased and the exact location of the animals was unfounded. The third
complaint was of a missing dog. The dog owner called shortly after to advise that the animal had been found.
EXHIBIT 2016-079a page 2 of 2
Upon investigation of a medical call, a subject was taken into custody under the Mental Hygiene Law 9.41 and
transported to an area hospital.
There were 4 Motor vehicle accidents investigated, none of which involved deer.
There was one incident reported involving deer. A resident contacted CHPD and stated that a deceased deer
was on his property. Cayuga Heights DPW was contacted for removal.
In summary, 10 persons were arrested and the following 17 charges were filed: 1-Criminal Possession of a
Controlled Substance 7th, 1- Possession of a Hypodermic Instrument, 1-Driving While Intoxicated 1st, 1-DWAI-
Alcohol and Drugs Combined, 1- Operate a MV with .08 of 1% Alcohol, 2- Operating a MV Under the
Influence of Drugs, 3- Unlawful Possession of Marijuana, 4-Aggravated Unlicensed Operation of a Motor
Vehicle 3rd, 2-Suspended Registration, and 1- Taken Into Custody Mentally Ill.
Over the course of this month police department members took part in the following trainings and events: On
the 21st, part time officers completed the biannual fire arms training, while full time officers completed their
training on the 27th. On the 30th Sergeant Jerry Wright and Officer James Manning assisted with traffic control

FROM: Brent Cross, Superintendent of Public Works
Leaf season is in full swing. After initially being told that we would not be allowed to
off-load leaves at the Cornell Plantations facility, they gave us the “go ahead” at the
last minute. The crew took leaves there for most of last month, but has since been
asked by the Plantations to stop taking the leaves there for the time being. I suspect
that they have not had a chance to manage the leaf piles yet and do not want to get
overwhelmed. In the meantime, the DPW crew is taking the leaves to the Village
“compost” site adjacent to the WWTP. Since we have found recent unapproved
dumping (mostly tree stumps and branches), we have installed a new gate (cable)
across the driveway to prevent further misuse of the facility. The goal remains to
accomplish “one round” through the Village each week. It is typical in the middle of
the season (peak raking) to fall behind. We are going to try to work an extra hour for a
few days to see if we can catch back up.
The DPW has successfully completed the installation of the new culvert pipes under
Randolph Road and Warwick Place. There is still some detail work to be done, and we
are still waiting for a final decision from one of the adjacent neighbors whether they
will be participating with the replacement of their pipe.
Asphalt patching on N. Triphammer has been completed. Other small work orders
have also been completed. Pothole patching on W. Remington Road may need to be
done as a paver project which could still be done this year before the asphalt plants
close.
As of today, Evans Roofing has confirmed that they still have the Village Hall project on
their schedule for this year. They are shooting for the next 2 weeks.
I just received today the engineering submittal package from Macom, so no work has
been done by GHD Services yet. They have contacted Yaws Environmental for
laboratory data on the sludge for analysis to show to Ithaca Area WWTP. IAWWTP also
has an application for that GHD will review for us. On the asset valuation project, I
owe them some information about the insured property so they can cover the correct
physical structures.
I am still quite busy with zoning related permits, variances, site plan reviews, etc. I was
able to make time to process the CHIPS reimbursement application form for State
Fiscal Year 14-15 and 15-16. Between 2 years’ worth of reimbursement for capital
projects and emergency winter recovery, we will be receiving a check from NYSDOT
for approximately $250,000.00.
