Clerk Walker confirms that, that is correct. d. NYCLASS: New York Cooperative Liquid Assets Securities System (NYCLASS) is a short-term, highly liquid investment fund, designed specifically for the public sector. NYCLASS provides the opportunity to invest funds on a cooperative basis in short-term investments that are carefully chosen to yield favorable returns while striving to provide maximum safety and liquidity. •Mayor Woodard states that the Village Finance Committee met on this subject, and it looks to be a smarter way to manage money since regular savings account interest rates are so low. •Trustee Rennekamp states that this is a money market fund where municipalities pool their resources to get better rates. There are no minimum amounts or minimum time for these deposits to be used and, as a municipality, there is no loss of principal. •Treasurer Laskaris states that she will reach out to the Village Bond Attorney and Tompkins Trust Company to express the desire to pull money out of the bank and into a NYCLASS account. It is surprising that we have never heard about this money market for municipalities. She further states that this would still fall within the Village Investment Policy. •Trustee Rennekamp states that opening an NYCLASS account gives the Village more flexibility and bargaining power with our bank. •Treasurer Laskaris will set up the account and prepare a Board resolution for the July 21, 2021 meeting. •Trustee Hubbell suggests contacting other municipalities to see how well this money market works. 9 e. Kline Road By-pass: After several meetings between the "Gang of six," and the Village and Town of Lansing, an agreement has been made establishing an annual payment of $10,500 to the Ithaca Area Waster Water Treatment Facility (IAWWTF) for the ability to send sewage to their plant. •Mayor Woodard states that in the event that the Village has to send sewage to the IAWWTF, the City of Ithaca will bill us at a rate of three times the normal rate. The $10,500 will be proportionately shared by all, as follows: the Town of Ithaca 53%, the Town and Village of Lansing 17%, the Village of Cayuga Heights 9% and the Town of Dryden 4%. •The Village can now pay the Town of Ithaca for last year’s sewer payment balance of $124,000. •Trustee Robinson states that he wanted to thank Mayor Woodard and both the Town and Village of Lansing for all the insight they provided to dispute the City of Ithaca’s proposals. B. Cross acknowledged that the whole group did a good job of coming to a resolution to solve this issue once and for all. •Village Attorney R. Marcus inquires about who will be drafting the new “gang of six” agreement. Mayor Woodard states that she has requested the Town of Ithaca draw up new the documents. This will be a five-year agreement. f. Bulky Trash and Brush pickup: DPW staff have reported that the volume of bulky trash and brush continues to prevent them from completing the Village wide pickups in one day. •Mayor Woodard would like to propose moving bulky trash pick-up from the third Friday to the third Monday of the month, beginning in October. The Brush pick-up would also change from the first Friday to the second Monday. •Trustee Robinson is concerned about the holidays that fall on Mondays but agrees that the concept makes sense. Trustee McMurry agrees, and this allows the property owner the weekend to get their bulky trash out. •Clerk Walker will incorporate this news into the E-newsblast and website. Mayor Woodard will put together a article in the annual Village newsletter that will go out in September. 7. Report of the Trustees: a.

Borg Warner: B. Cross states that a couple of years ago, the Village entered into a contract with GHD Engineers for development of a new operating permit for Borg Warner Automotive’s current industrial discharge that is being treated at the Village WWTP. The US Environmental Protection Agency has made a determination that Borg Warner’s current process is categorically considered to be a “metals finishing” process, and therefore Borg Warner needs to fulfill all of the EPA’s requirements for meeting a full national discharge permit.

Culvert Right Sizing Project Update: •B. Cross States that the Planning and Design work by TG Miller Engineers continues on the Culvert Right Sizing project for Cayuga Heights Road. The current engineer’s opinion of probable cost for the original scope of work (which includes 9 separate culvert locations) is $703,754. This includes the replacement of culvert (#1) located at the north end of the Village. In the process of designing this culvert, TG Miller Engineers have come to the opinion that the current culvert was installed by NYSDOT at the time of NYS Route 13 project. Therefore, their recommendation is to withdraw this location from the current scope of work, in hopes of convincing NYSDOT to take responsibility for replacing culvert #1 at their cost. By removing culvert (#1) from the scope of work, this reduces the total cost of the project to $594,264, which is within the original construction budget of $595,768. It is important to note that the scope of work includes the cost of additional drainage work parallel to Cayuga Heights Road between culvert (#7) and culvert (#8). This is work that is being done in an attempt to balance the flows from the east side of the road to the west side of the road. This is intended to mitigate overflows that have happened in the past at N. Sunset Drive. •Director Wiese states that he has ordered this projects culvert pipe directly through N.Y.S on O.S.G contract which will avoid any bid markups for this project. •Mayor Woodard states that she would like a motion to approve this report which will allow T.G. Miller to move into the bid stage of this project. Resolution: 9014 BE IT RESOLVED THAT: the Village of Cayuga Heights Board of Trustees approves the T. G. Miller Design Report in the amount of $594,264 and authorizes T.G. Miller to prepare bid documents for the Culvert Right Sizing Cayuga Heights Road Project. Motion: Trustee Marshall Second: Trustee Hubbell Ayes: Mayor Woodard; Trustees: Hubbell, Marshall, McMurry, Rennekamp, and Robinson Nays: none Abstentions: none Motion Carried 11. Report of Clerk Walker: Submitted Report •Clerk Walker states that the Administration Committee will decide on a website design company when they meet next Tuesday. •Clerk Walker also states that Bolton Point now has the ability to create E-bills for the water and sewer payments. There will be a training offered on June 29, 2021 hosted by Williamson Law Book. The cost is $1500 per year with an annual support fee of $555. Clerk Walker feels that this is not a cost-effective addition to the current format we use to collect payments. •Mayor Woodard states that she was one of the main advocates for this process but is very surprised of software cost and annual support to the municipalities. •Clerk Walker notes that the new information aide, Kiersten Perkins, is doing very well in her position. Marcham Hall Re-opening: 14 •Clerk Walker states that Marcham Hall is now open to the public. •Mayor Woodard notes that Tompkins County was recently cited as having the highest vaccination rates in the state, and the 5th highest in the country. •This will be the Board’s last meeting via Zoom.
