Village of Cayuga Heights
Monthly Report July 2018
We were steady at the fire department in July with a total of 42 calls. We had 21 calls in the Village of
Cayuga Heights, 20 calls in the Town of Ithaca and 1 request for mutual aid. There were 30 EMS calls
and 11 fire runs. It was another month of routine calls.
Lt. Devon Savoy has stepped into the role of Training Officer and has been leading many great evenings
of training. July 12th there was training on victim and firefighter drags and carries, July 17th we did
training on hose deployment and advancement as well as several firefighter fitness sessions. Late on the
month FF Sophie Janowsky did a Basic Life Support skills refresher. The members spent the evening
brushing up on equipment locations, patient interviews and taking vital signs. It was a good indoor session
in the air conditioning and everyone benefits from these refreshers. Our Rescue Director Colleen Price
has been working closely with Central New York EMS and the NYS Department of Health to get our
members signed up for the new on line recertification program for our EMS members. This will allow
EMTs to take on line courses at their own pace in order to refresh their EMT cards. There is still a hands
on skills proficiency component to ensure the skills are kept up. This program has been a long time in the
making and should benefit all EMTs across New York State. The refresher classes offered through TC3
have been difficult for working or student members to fit into busy schedules and we, as well as all other
5
fire departments, have been lobbying for this type of course for years at the fire department level. With
this new program we hope to retain our EMTs for longer periods of time.
We had a new roof placed over the training room in July. We had a week of heavy rain prior to the new
roof being placed and there was some major water leaking into the training room. After the roof was
finished a major portion of the leaking stopped. We still have some residual water but we suspect that it
is coming from the gutters which are phase two of the project. The contractor was going to get that work
done but it has been raining steadily. He assures us as soon as dry weather happens he will finish the
gutter work.
It was a good summer at the station. Movie night wraps up in early August. We were not able to have
any outdoor movies this year due to the rainy summer. The Disney movies were very well attended but
the movies geared toward teens and adults did not seem to draw crowds. Next year we may consider
kids movies all summer.
We were able to rotate all of the heavy apparatus to Tyler Fire Equipment for annual pump testing and
ladder maintenance. All of our fire hose and nozzles got tested in one long morning with First Due
Testing from Syracuse. All of our airpacks went through annual testing and recertification in July. All
of the equipment passed testing. Having a robust preventive maintenance program and great vendors
who are familiar with our equipment ensures that everything stays in working order. Having the
bunkers doing weekly truck checks keeps everything up to date and in good condition.
We are looking forward the summer break ending and all of our members returning. We will focus on
getting the spring recruits through their checklists and then move on to the fall recruit class.
It has been a good summer with many folks stepping up and running calls and keeping the station
staffed.
Sincerely,
George Tamborelle
Fire Chief/Fire Superintendent

ENGINEER’S REPORT
DATE: August 17, 2018
TO: Board of Trustees
FROM: Brent A. Cross, PE; Village Engineer
RE: Court Room Improvements
Village Justice, Glenn Galbreath, has identified various features about the Court Room in
Village Hall that are in need of improvement and that there may be some financial assistance
available through the Justice Court Assistance Program (JCAP).
1. Air Conditioning: Since the primary heating system in the Village Hall (including Court
Room) is a hot water radiator system (no ducts), there is no provision for cooling. In
recent years, technology has greatly improved in the development of stand-alone
ductless air conditioning systems. These systems are geared towards individual spaces
instead of a system that is intended to be ducted throughout a building. They work by
using a ground-mounted compressor that pumps cooled refrigerant into the building
through a single penetration in the wall. On the inside of the building, there is a wall
mounted diffuser unit that circulates air across the cooled piping. Then the warmed
refrigerant is returned to the compressor through the same wall penetration as the first
pipe. The sizing of this unit is based on the volume of the space. The formula for sizing
is as follows:
Floor Area = 17’ x 29’ = 500 sf @ 8’ height
Vaulted Ceiling = 250 sf @ 16’ height
Total Equivalent Area = 750 sf
Cooling Load = 750sf x 20 Btu/sf = 15,000 Btu
Occupant Load factor = 50 persons at 400 Btu/person = 20,000 Btu
Total Cooling Load = 35,000 Btu (order 36,000 Btu)
The cost for the system to provide air conditioning only is $6,000, which does not
include electrical connections. I am including a $1,000 allowance for electric work
associated with this installation. Therefore, the total cost will be $7,000.
17
In addition to providing the cooling function, a ductless unit can provide supplemental
heating, which would be good on the coldest days to be able to have a little extra
energy to help the existing boiler/radiator system. The equipment is slightly diff erent,
and therefore the cost is approximately additional $1,800, making the total cost estimate
$8,800 (round off to $9,000)
Since the Court has 4-6 nights per month and the Village Trustees meet 1 each month,
the cost of the HVAC system is being requested at 75%.
2. Electrical Outlets: The Court Room/Office is located on the far side of the building from
the electrical panel. Providing modern circuitry in that part of the building is more difficult
than in the main part of the building. Therefore, to provide the necessary outlets needed
by the Judge/Clerk, new electrical circuits will need to be installed with breakers in the
main control panel. The estimated cost of this work is $2,500. Since the outlets will be
used primarily by the Judge/Clerk, the full cost of this work is requested for
consideration of the JCAP program.
3. Gutters: The Village Hall building is an old stone structure with a steeply pitched slate
roof. The original construction included a basic “U” shaped galvanized steel gutter. Over
the years, the steel rusted out and became torn off from the building. The rain that drips
off from the eave is blown onto the face of the stone façade and is absorbed into the
wall of the building. Over time, this has resulted in the paint on the interior walls to
bubble and blister. Therefore, the solution is to install new gutters on the building.
Because the roof is steeply pitched and there is very little overhang at the eaves, the
gutter most be structurally supported to withstand and impacts from ice sliding off from
the slates. The cost estimate for this work is $27,000 (see attached quote). Since the
Court occupies about 1/3 of the area under the roof, then 1/3 of this cost is requested
from the JCAP program.
The following is a summary of the estimated cost as it would breakdown between the portion
requested from the JCAP program and how much the Village would be responsible for
covering:
Project 1: A/C System for $9,000 @ 75% = $6,750
Project 2: Electrical W ork for $2,500 @ 100% = $2,500
Project 3: Roof Gutters for $27,000 @ 33% = $8,910
Total request for JCAP assistance = $18,160
Total contribution from Village = $20,240
