This is a busy sidewalk area(going to&from Belle Sherman School,the bike path, and the P&C shopping area), and there is no sidewalk on the other side of Mitchell Street. Due to the lack of sidewalk,people walk along the road. A"rise"in Mitchell Street there can prevent drivers seeing someone walking in the road. With a moderate snow fall,people will be forced father out into the road. I do NOT want to see someone hit by a car, especially children walking along there. The Town of Ithaca said you don't need to provide a sidewalk,but the County owns that road Please see if you, the Town and the County can temporarily fill or bridge the gans,and open the walk to pedestrians even if it is not shoveled. Sincerely, r Linda Caughey 125 Pearl Street Ithaca,NY 14850 PS. Someone came and added some black plastic to the Worth Street end of the property. Thank you. Hopefully that will help with water&mud.

It now provides municipal insurance coverage for more than 650 local governments all across the State. At its November 2008 meeting, the NYMIR Board of Governors began a program by which NYMIR would share a portion of the Reciprocal's current surplus based upon the amount of initial capital contribution each subscribing member must make to the Reciprocal. This annual distribution goes to each member which has completed its five year capitalization obligation and renewed with NYMIR for another twelve month period. NYMIR remains the largest, most successful example of municipal cooperation anywhere in New York State, and this capital return program is one way in which we can recognize the loyalty and commitment which are the cornerstones of any successful cooperative venture. It is a testament to the financial strength of our program and to the risk management practices of each of our loyal, long term members. This is your second annual distribution in the amount of$8,415.60 The decision your municipality made to join with fellow Subscribers and control your own destiny when it comes to property and casualty insurance has proven to be a very wise one. We are pleased to recognize and salute that foresight and fortitude as we continue to share with our members the fruits of their longstanding commitment to risk management and to working with their fellow local governments to provide the very best of insurance coverage at a price that is predictable for your budgets and ultimately benefits your taxpayers.

Tioga St T 41V 13,7 Ithaca, N.Y. 14850 �oNOP Attention: Herb Engman, Town Supervisor Mr. Engman, In reviewing my tax information this year I found that again the Ithaca fire charges are outlandish to say the least. I noticed that the total charges are 3, 369,674.00. With an increase of 11 %. This is 27.2 % of the total tax charge. How can this possibly be proper ? As a business man of many years I question the logic of these charges. Is anyone reviewing these figures and challenging the level of expense ? Come on Herb........take charge and fix some of these things. It's easy to get things done when you can just increase the income...........business men can't do that...

Specifically, my concern and my neighbors' concerns are on Part B regarding two-family dwelling (p. 67). From my conversations with the neighbors living around 346 Coddington Road, I was told that the current property owner is planning to construct a student housing project there. The bar needs to be raised in granting Town Building Permits to property owners who stretch the zoning laws and leave problematic dwellings. I'm sure you have heard the vocal cries of Town Residents regarding these structures and the itinerant tenants housed there. From the appearance of just Coddington Road and Pennsylvania Ave. near Ithaca College, there are multiple dwellings that are best described as "cookie-cutter gray cubes." I'm sure the residents living near these dwellings have other names for them that you can surmise. These buildings are where they are because of supply/demand issues and broken Zoning Laws that have created an uneven playing field for Town Residents and Local Land Owners who are happy to cash in on the Zoning Law's loopholes and limitations. The complicity of silence and the turning of a blind eye to the realities that are ongoing such as the destruction of property values, quality of life issues, and the demise of unique wildlife who inhabit the "South Hill Swamp Area," all need to be addressed by our Town leaders. Most Town residents believe that the area of Coddington Road near Ithaca College has been developed enough, and would welcome corrective action by the Town. 2 D�3 A common sense recommendation seems simple and straight forward. It centers on just three important concerns: (1) Is there a real need now and over the next five years for more two-family dwellings near Ithaca College? The Town of Ithaca seems to have more than its share of unsold homes, so why do we need more? In addition, Ithaca College is building more student housing on its campus and most college students would prefer to be on campus than to be living off campus. Where is the current and future need for more gray cookie- cuttercubes? (2) Does the proposed project enhance or detract from the natural beauty of the surrounding area, especially the Ithaca College Wetlands and the natural field and protected parts of 346 Coddington Road? I have walked around this area for more than 35-years and it is cherished land to many residents, biology professors, and the unique wildlife there. It is also a living laboratory for college students on the wonders of nature that surround the Wetlands of Ithaca College. (3) Since we live in a community to each other and none of us is more important than another, the Town needs to weigh the rights of residents as well as those of property owners. From my perspective, the Town has weighed in with the property owners and has left the long-term residents out in the cold. As the saying goes, "Money Talks," but sometimes it talks too loudly. I do not believe the Ithaca property owners are on food stamps quite yet, but many residents have decided to leave our town because of quality of life issues. In economics, there is an interesting term called, "Creative Destruction," coined by a famous British economist that applies. In short, it simply means that individuals and corporations become so powerful and successful that the seeds of success breed the seeds of destruction. Most Ithaca Town residents would like it to happen now! 3� 3 My last point is tied in with part (3), but it needs special attention. "Property ownership" means different things. Some arrogant and self-centered property owners believe that their actions are none of the business of others because they hold the property deed and are thus free to do what they can get away with under our liberal and broken zoning laws. Town Board Members need to remind such individuals that we all tenants on planet earth with a limited time to live our lives. In the march of time, we all are "dust in the wind," and the big bank accounts and all these wonderful buildings will be left behind for future generations to cope with. In summary, Ithaca town residents hope that our zoning leaders can raise the bar on the current zoning restrictions and put an end to the mindless destruction currently going on. This is a threat to every Town resident and a threat to the Wetlands of Ithaca College. Your action is needed now! r� Sincerely, Louis R.

Munch 214 Northview West Ithaca, NY 14850 Dear Mr. Munch: I can not disagree with much of what you have said in your January 301h letter. The creep of student housing from the boundaries of our two local universities has been an issue for decades. The type of housing being built on Pennsylvania Avenue and Kendall Avenue is highly disappointing. We are working hard to complete our updated comprehensive plan. With a new plan in place we may be able to institute a better type of zoning and perhaps architectural e"IN standards and building standards that will result in better housing. We are also looking at the codes which permit the type of student housing that is so unattractive. That said, there are always those in the community who will seek and find ways to skirt the law. You may be interested to know that we recently obtained a conviction against a builder who rented to more students that allowed under code. Yet, without a police force, we have limited ability to pursue and prosecute violators. Most complaints we get insist that the Town of Ithaca's laws are too strict. In fact there are severe restrictions on what municipalities can enforce. We can state that one can build a one-family house, but keeping it to a "family" is virtually impossible. You state that "...the Town has weighed in with the property owners and has left the long-term residents out in the cold." Often the property owners are the long-term residents. And, under law, we can not deprive them of all value of their property (that is a "flaking" under the law). Balancing all that out is a very difficult policy matter. Nonetheless, we are going to try and we appreciate your support for higher standards within the Town. Sincerely, AIH 4ertJ.

Our Town fire contract costs are out of control. Our largest single bill every year is paid to the City of Ithaca Fire Department. That's why when I assumed office as Town Supcl-N isor I re- negotiated our fire contract, reducing the overhead charges $50,000 per year ($250,000 over the life of the contract). I also discovered that the Fire Department was not receiving full credit for the Cornell contribution to municipal services. That has saved an additional $125,000 total over the past 5 rears. However, I realized that those savings were just a down payment. Thus, the Town established an Ad Hoc Fire Committee in 2010 to start the process of finding much more substantial savings. We are looking at all options, including adding volunteers to the paid force, going back to volunteer bunkers, contracting with other fire departments that border the Town, establishing a new, independent fire department for the Town, etc. As you may have read in the Ithaca Times, we have put Ithaca College on notice that it must more seriously consider its responsibility to the community to help fund fire and emergency services protection. I estimate that a fair amount would be $1,000,000 per year, although that amount is unlikely because Cornell contributes only $712,000 per year. Over the past year I spoke about this fiscal challenge monthly with Carolyn Peterson when she was mayor and have begun the same conversation with the new mayor, Svante Myrick. The Town Board is determined to substantially reduce our fire and emergency protection costs and welcomes any and all. ideas. Thank you for taking the time to express your support for reducing g the costs to the Town. Sincerely, /Ver4bert J.

The attached petition details multiple reasons for this request. An overarching goal is to reduce speed on the Forest Home section of Judd Falls Road where there are three recently installed traffic calming features. A 25 MPH speed limit would encourage drivers to travel at a consistently conservative speed through the speed tables (instead of speeding up between them), thus reducing noise and emissions and increasing safety for area residents. We hope the Ithaca Town Board will be supportive of this petition and expedite our request through the necessary levels of approval and action. We respectfully request that the Board acknowledge receipt of this petition. Additionally, it would be helpful to know when we should expect a response and which governmental entity will respond to us. If the Town Board has questions about the petition, it is welcome to contact me at the Forest Home email address included in the footer of this letter or via my personal contact information also included below. Thank you for your support of Forest Home in this matter. We look forward to hearing from you at your earliest convenience. Sincerely, Teresa M.

To provide some context, around early November she called my house about 10 times. I listened to her at length a few times, mainly about Hydrofracking. Other times my wife took messages or she left several long messages in a row on my answering machine. Mainly about a need to investigate hydrofracking fluid.

("TWC") involving the cable franchisee in your community. As you may know. Nve operate our cable systems through various indirect, wholly-owned subsidiaries, including Time Warner Entertainment-Advance/Newhouse Partnership, the franchise-holder for the system serving your community. In order to streamline our organization, we are undertaking an internal reorganization (the "Transaction") whereby our cable operations will be conducted through seven regional entities designed to simplify management reporting and create a more geographically rational structure. Upon completion of the Transaction, the local system and franchise serving your community will be held by Time Warner Cable Northeast LLC, an indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary of TWC. The Transaction will not result in a transfer of control —TWC will retain ultimate ownership and management authority over the cable system in your community. This internal Transaction will have absolutely no impact on the cable system in your community, its operations or our local staff or management, and we will continue to do business as Time Warner Cable. In particular, there will be no change in our commitment to provide our customers with the best variety and quality in entertainment and information services, all at competitive rates with excellent customer care. Naturally, Time Warner Cable Northeast LLC will continue to comply with all franchise terms and conditions and be subject to all applicable law. The Transaction does not require any action on your part. Should you have any questions regarding the Transaction, please contact me at rory.whelan@twcable.com or 518-640-8569. We look forward to continuing our long and mutually beneficial relationship with your community. Sincerely, TIME WARNER CABLE INC.

I also live on Warren Road and walk and run there every week. We have planned an off-road walkway from Hanshaw along Bluegrass Lane (a Cornell farm road) to Hasbrouck Apartments, but we have not found the funds to build it. The Town of Ithaca can not raise enough in taxes to build sidewalks on its own; we also need outside sources. The sidewalk along Warren from Hanshaw to the Town line cost almost a half million dollars. It was unusually expensive because it has a permeable surface, but even the simplest walkway is costly. Thank you expressing your support for a sidewalk. We will continue to seek funding to build one. Herb Engman Herbert J.

There are a number of residences in the Town of Dryden that have their sewage routed through Town of Ithaca sewer lines mostly to the Village of Cayuga Heights treatment plant. As you can see in one of the attachments, payments were to have been made to the Town of Ithaca, but have not been. The other attachment indicates an intention to set up another agreement, but this was never done. I will send in a separate e-mail an attachment which is part of the recent county-wide sewer and water study which indicates Dryden's overall use of Ithaca's lines.

Knowing your role as a community leader, I wanted you to hear directly from me about how the Journal is changing: First, something that's not changing: Print is not going away. The Ithaca Journal will continue to be published, ink on paper,and delivered to news dealers and thousands of homes every day. Second, we are expanding our digital offerings. The ithacajournal.com will be updated more frequently to reflect breaking news and coverage of community news and sports. We will have new digital products: Apps designed for the iPhone and the Android, and a new optimized website that iPad and other tablet users will enjoy. And our e-Newspaper will continue to provide a paper-like experience for online users. Third,on all these channels, we are refocusing our coverage to offer more of what the community told us,through research and focus groups, are their priorities for coverage: local taxes, public spending and news about the good things residents do to improve the community. And we will ramp up our commitment to in-depth watchdog reports, local sports and letting the community know about 'lie extraordinary arts,recreational and cultural events in the Ithaca area. Fourth, we are changing our business model. For many years, we have given our content :m a%. tree, on the Web. Perhaps this made sense a decade auo it no longer does. Going forward, full access to ithacajoumal.com and our other digital products will require a subscription. Consumers will subscribe to our content and then choose a preferred method oCdelivery: • Full digital access for multiple devices–browser,tablet and smartphone--will be a feature of all subscriptions. • Print delivery will be offered in four ways: Every day we publish; a weekend combination of Friday and Saturday; Saturday only; and, for those who prefer their news and information purely in the digital space, no print delivery at all. • Subscription pricing will vary according to the delivery option a subscriber chooses. Current subscribers are receiving letters outlining details of the new pricing, Please know that non-subscribers will still be able to access the Journal's homepage and certain other features, and will have deeper access each month to a limited number of stories. Atter that limit, they will be given the opportunity to subscribe. We plan on producing a strong, local newspaper for a long time to come,even as our focus must shift toward producing and delivering more relevant content with greater frequency on all digital platforms. We need to embrace our future here and now. Bruce Estes,our managing editor and general manager,and t both would be happy to make ourselves available to talk about our changes and what they mean to us,to you and to the community. We join you in a mutual desire to make Tompkins County a greater place to live,work and grow. Thank you for your support.

Hieber (mailto:cah31@cornell.edu] Sent: Friday, April 20, 2012 4 :50 PM To: Herb Engman Subject: Belle Sherman "Cottages" (4/20/2012) Dear Herb Engman, Being a resident on Regency Lane, I regularly walk to my office on the Cornell campus by making use of the rails-to-trail path between Honness Lane & Maple Avenue. Accordingly, I had looked forward with some anticipation concerning the developments along Mitchell Street this past year relating to the so-called "Belle Sherman Cottages". Alas, upon seeing the first such "cottage", at 101 Maple Street (why risk confusion with Maple Avenue? ! ) , I have been shocked that such a 2-story (plus attic, with full-sized windows) structure could be termed a "cottage" ! . . . and furthermore, that it could be placed so close to Mitchell Street (the SW corner being within 12 feet of the sidewalk) with no porch on the Mitchell-Street exposure to ameliorate its overbearing impact. The presence is especially distressing when heading up along Mitchell from Belle Sherman School, forming a "canyon" effect. I find it incredible that such a development could have been accepted by the town board. It will no doubt serve as a lasting "memorial" to the environmental shortsightedness of a certain local administration. . . In disappointment, Cornelius A. Hieber, Jr. 1 April 24, 2012 APR 2 ` 2011 TOWN OF iTF1,tC:A 7Q4W�!C'L HK To Whom It May Concern, As an intern at Morgan Stanley Smith Barney as well as a current student at Cornell University, I am writing to make my opinions clear regarding the proposed increase of the minimum wage in Tompkins County. While I fully support the increase in living wage for full-time employees, or those working to support themselves, I believe this increase in required wage will have a negative effect upon students seeking a learning experience from internships more than a paycheck. Many students participate in internships in this area in order to gain exposure to different industries while they are still in school. This enables us to have a more well-rounded learning experience that complements our classroom education. While students also work for an income, the needs of"interns" are much less than those working to support their cost of living. From a personal standpoint, my income goes towards food and bills, while housing and educations are covered by my parents, loans and Cornell. This lesser income is adequate for students, whose main purpose of working is not to support themselves but rather to get work experience before graduating from school. An across the board increase in the minimum wage would cause more harm than good for students such as myself, who are cyclical and temporary employees. This increase in cost for our employers would be burdensome and would cause the longstanding intern program at Ithaca's Morgan Stanley Smith Barney and many other places to close their doors to students. Students in turn would lose out on a critical learning experience that will help them in the future. Once again, I fully support an increase in the minimum wage to adjust to cost of living in Tompkins County, but only for non-intern employment. It is these employees that are calling for the increase in wage rather than the intern population. I would propose an exception for employment positions labeled as "interns", so that we can continue to learn while those that have legitimate need for the wage increase are able to have it. I would be happy to speak with someone regarding these changes and should my recommendation be taken into account, assist in any way possible.

There has been considerable discussion about this by the Town of Caroline Board and the Town of Ithaca Public Works and Trails committees. As you would expect, there are some residents along the corridor who are apprehensive about the idea. As far as I can determine, you actually live in the Town of Dryden. I suggest you contact Supervisor Mary Ann Sumner and also contact Town of Caroline Supervisor, Don Barber, and Deputy Supervisor, Dominic Frongillo. In order to extend the trail, at least 3 and possibly 4 municipalities, NYSEG, and numerous residents would have to cooperate. To answer your question specifically, I can not advise you on how (or whether it is possible to get) "permission' to utilize the corridor.

Willcox III Tee-Ann Hunter,Pat Leary,and Eric Levine Town of Ithaca 215 North Tioga Street Ithaca,New York 14850 Dear Members of the Town Board and Members of the Codes and Ordinance Committee: I write concerning zoning at 110 Blackstone Avenue. Construction there raises a zoning issue greater thanjust the one site. Unless you correct the situation I am about to describe,I believe that developers will have a precedent that will alter our neighborhood zoning and in similar neighborhoods within the Town. The property at 110 Blackstone Avenue has two separate buildings,both of which continue to be worked on. Our neighborhood is designated as a"Medium Density Residential Zone." As you know, Section 901,Article IX("Medium Density Residential Zones")of the"Zoning Ordinance"states that buildings in our neighborhood /"'rust either be"a one-family dwelling"or a"two family dwelling." In both cases,the term"dwelling"is singular. I believe that the buildings do not qualify as a single two-family dwelling. Yet the owner has rented an apartment in the two-story building located in the front yard,closest to Blackstone Avenue, while living in the two-story building at the rear of the property. I have enclosed photographs of the two structures at 110 Blackstone Avenue, along with a map. Earlier this year,I contacted Bruce Bates by phone. Mr. Bates informed me that the Town initially granted these two structures the status of a single home suitable for two families,on the basis of a roofed walkway with a dirt floor that stretches between the two buildings. This walkway does not connect the buildings with doors, and it stops short of the main house, a building that is on the western side of the property. There is only one short beam that extends flimsily from the roof of the walkway to connect to the northeast comer of the main house. In order to use the walkway, people must step outside. The owner,Marc Messing,has occasionally parked one of his cars under the walkway, a clear indication of how this walkway is not closed off. I believe that the eastern building with its rental unit is in violation of the provisions of Article IX, Section 906, paragraph 5, which states that an Accessory Building"may not occupy any open space other than a rear yard." The eastern building is in the front yard and is the building closest to Blackstone Avenue. The location of the eastern building in front of the main dwelling should also negate the possibility of a special permit from the Board of Appeals,because a variance for an Accessory Building(Section 904)can only be applied to buildings /'located behind a main building. 1 A I am concerned that if developers see that all they have to do is build two separate buildings and then stretch a rooted walkway between them, the result will make a mockery of theroning in our area and in the Town. If 110 Blackstone remains as an unregulated"single two-family dwelling"and becomes a new standard,our neighborhood and other neighborhoods in the Town might now fall under what might be termed a new "walkway rule," under the fiction that the a dirt walkway with a roof transforms two buildings into a single dwelling. The effect will be a defacto rezoning. In January 2012, the owner,Marc Messing,began renting out the second story apartment in the eastern building to a male Cornell graduate student. His family continues to reside in the western building farthest from Blackstone Avenue. This second-story apartment was originally used by Mr. Messing and his family(his spouse and two sons) while the second building was being constructed. Thus the two large,stand-alone buildings are built on two separate foundations erected at two separate times. From the time Mr. Messing purchased the property and showed me his architectural drawings,all this construction stretched over several years. I was assured by Mr. Messing that,once the larger building was completed,he intended to use the second-story apartment as his office. His family referred to the apartment in the eastern building as"the clubhouse."Mr. Messing gave me his assurances because I clearly expressed my concern that any rental would be a violation of zoning.Had I known what would develop,I would have appealed the situation immediately,even before the completion of one of the buildings. I am asking the board to declare that these two dwellings are in fact two separate houses and that they do not qualify as a single dwelling—that is,that these two buildings do not constitute a two-family single structure. I am also requesting that the owner of 110 Blackstone,Marc Messing,be directed to terminate the rental of the apartment in the eastern building at 110 Blackstone and to agree in writing that the eastern building cannot be rented at any time. I also request that Mr. Messing's statement clarifying the issue be added to any and all documentation kept by the Town so that future buyers will realize that the property is not a single two-family dwelling. I have attached an appendix to review other details of the circumstances behind this issue. Thank you for taking the time to read this letter and the accompanying appendix and photographs. I would be grateful if you would respond in writing. I would also be willing to discuss this matter with you. Sincerely, Robert W. Venables I'+1 2 s' APPENDIX: 110 Blackstone Avenue ,,.;HOTOGRAPHS. As the attached photographs demonstrate, both buildings at 110 Blackstone are two-stories high. The first, which now contains a rental,is located at the eastern end of the property closest to Blackstone. The second building is another large two-story building at the western end of the property. The eastern building with its current rental apartment has a garage door facing Blackstone Avenue and thus may be regarded as an accessory building under Article IX, Section 906, paragraph 5,"Accessory Buildings." However,this paragraph states that a garage is defined as"not over one story." The two-story eastern building is obviously more than a garage. The apartment on the second story is an open, large loft-style residence equipped with a complete kitchen and toilet facilities. Thus the eastern building is so large it is a"regular" home. THE NEIGHBORHOOD. Virtually all the properties in our immediate neighborhood are half-acres—our neighborhood being at the southern end of Blackstone,south of Hanshaw,and east-west all along Roat Street. The future development of all these neighborhood properties will be affected if the eastern building at 110 Blackstone includes a separate, income-generating building. If the Zoning Ordinance is not enforced at 110 Blackstone, it will also set a legal precedent that developers throughout the Town of Ithaca are sure to use to circumvent the Town's zones for specific neighborhoods. The developers could then build two or more structures, connect them with a dirt walkway with a roof,and call the complex a single structure. Finally,by comparison,I would like to add that our own property at 111 Blackstone is a rectangular half-acre, running north-south along Blackstone between Hanshaw Road and Roat Street. Our home is placed on the southern quarter acre, at the corner of Blackstone and Roat Street. But the other quarter acre to the north of our home is open lawn and faces the two buildings at 110 Blackstone. This quarter-acre is adjacent to Blackstone Avenue's sources of sewer,gas,and electrical power. If my family built an exact replica of the two-story eastern building that now exists at 110 Blackstone,and if we attached a roofed walkway with a dirt floor,would the Town of Ithaca regard that complex as a single structure suitable for two families? Especially if,prior to beginning construction,I did not go through the formal application to the Board of Appeals for a specific permit? Thank you for considering the issues raised in this appendix. 3 Page 1 of 1 Paulette Terwilliger From: Justin Dobbs Ord@jrd.com] Sent: Monday, May 07, 2012 1:40 PM To: Paulette Terwilliger Subject: [http://aliveprojects.com] Street sweeping along Warren Road, Hanshaw, and Forest Home speed bumps Hello! I'm a PhD student living in Northeast Ithaca. I commute to campus each day via bicycle or bus and have a few comments about local road conditions. 1. 1 ride my bike up Warren Road where the rubber sidewalk was recently installed. Unfortunately, with city-like infrastructure comes a need for maintenance that doesn't seem to happen. Specifically, the installation of the sidewalk has created a trap for road debris, where a natural shoulder used to allow debris to leave the road. The shoulder of northbound Warren Road is a sea of gravel and sand from driveways, broken glass, and hardware that is hazardous to bicyclists. Will this ever get cleaned up? 2. Please repave Hanshaw the right way and make the shoulder safe and wide enough for walking or biking. I don't see a compelling need for a sidewalk that eats into people's yards--just clean up the existing shoulder so that we can walk along the road without tripping over all the ruts. 3. The Forest Home speed bumps are so infuriating. On the bus, even at low speed, passengers are tossed around. My car is quite uncomfortable over these at but a complete stop. I had to drive my girlfriend to an appointment after she had a major injury and it was physically punishing for her to traverse the speed bumps. I've seen rear-end car collisions from drivers slamming their brakes before the speed bumps and some near-misses with bicyclists and pedestrians due to the choke points created by the narrowing of the road. The curbs force cars and bikes together when they otherwise would have safe lateral space, and the lights arc an eyesore and waste of electricity at night. Why on earth did no one try lowering the Spced limit and enforcing it with an officer? Why must hundreds of well-meaning folks, many of whom aren't even driving, be physically punished 6 or S times each day just to get to school or work? These obstructions are unsafe and unethical and shoul d never have been installed along a transit route. 5/7/2012 OF 1?, 0 > TOWN OF ITHACA IS 21 215 N.

The sidewalk along Warren was constructed as part of the national Safe Routes to School program.These walks are designed to enable school children a safe way to get to school by foot or bike. You have pointed out an apparent negative consequence of the required curbing—the accumulation of some material washed onto the road via driveways. I have drawn the attention of both the County highway department(the owner of the road) and the Town Public Works Department(the Town maintains the sidewalk). Unfortunately neither the County nor Town has the type of street sweeper often seen in the City. I'll check the road way to see the extent of the problem and see what can be done. That issue is common to all streets with standard curbs. Natural/unimproved shoulders are "self- cleaning" to a point, which is why city street sweeping programs generally involve only curbed streets. To maintain safety, the Town needs to find a way to periodically maintain streets once curbs are installed, or better yet,come up with a design that allows for passive debris removal. I /Oftl� appreciate your checking into this--I recently got a flat tire along there and I know another student who has recently too. Road bike tires are highly vulnerable to damage from rocks and glass shards. Once a month would probably be more than adequate. I use Warren Road and the Northeast Ithaca Walkway only to avoid the poor pavement conditions on Hanshaw. Hanshaw is also a County road and it will make the design decisions based on standards set by the funding sources (mainly NYS).The sidewalk along Hanshaw will connect with the Warren Road sidewalk (thus enabling even more children to walk or bike to school),with the Village of Cayuga Heights(thus giving residents the option of walking into the village for services), and with the various side streets in the Northeast (thus giving families the opportunity to walk safely both for recreation and commuting purposes). It is not appropriate for children to be walking and biking on an unprotected shoulder.The Town conducted a neighborhood discussion of the walkway several years ago and there was overwhelming positive support for a sidewalk from Cayuga Heights to Sapsucker Woods Road. I had assumed (perhaps erroneously), given abrupt change in pavement condition right at the Town of Dryden border, that the Town was involved in maintenance decisions. What I meant was that deteriorated infrastructure should be repaired before more is added, if a choice is to be made between the two. Of course children deserve a safe route to school--I don't think anyone would contest that. While not a full substitute for a walk along Hanshaw, the addition of a parallel pedestrian cut-through from the end of Birchwood Drive or Birchwood Drive N over to Sapsucker Woods Road would yield a safer route through the family-oriented and highly walkable Salem Drive neighborhood, provide access to route 31 for Sapsucker Woods Road residents, and enhance access to the nature preserve. Has anyone approached Mr. Lucente about this? Kids riding bikes on the sidewalk along the sidewalk on Hanshaw sounds like trouble unless all 5/fl/2012 Page 2 of 2 the shrubbery is removed on an ongoing basis to provide a clear view from driveways. The Forest Home entrance features and speed tables were designed and supported by the 1'�1 Forest Home Improvement Association after all other measures failed.The plans were incorporated into the Town's Transportation Plan and constructed when state and federal monies became available.The Town does not have a police force and the County Sheriff had little success controlling unsafe speed and running of stop signs in the neighborhood. Towns in New York State do not have the power to set speed limits and the County and state had lowered them as much as they deemed feasible. Had the commuters passing through been more respectful of the residential neighborhood the expense and inconvenience of the measures taken would have been unnecessary.A post-construction survey taken of Forest Home residents showed that over 80%were very pleased with the results and thought the effort worthwhile. I have suggested to Cornell for years that it could help the situation by diverting campus traffic onto Cradit Lane and making it more difficult to continue into Forest Home. While there is agreement in concept,Cornell has been unwilling to make the changes. No doubt Forest Home residents would love to make all through-trips as time-consuming and miserable as possible. However, antagonistic methods are counterproductive in that they create obstructions for the vast majority of the road's users and displace traffic to other areas rather than truly mitigating its impact. Cornell probably objects to the idea of thousands of additional car trips past the undergraduate dorms and through pedestrian-dense central campus. MAT route 31 eliminates hundreds of car trips per day through Forest Horne and deserves more support than it seems to receive from Forest Home residents, as evidenced by the responses to last year's survey. A broader survey of all stakeholders and not just Forest Home residents would yield very different responses and possibly some innovative ideas. I frequently see Cornell's officers camped around Forest Home and the adjacent county roads and had assumed that they were cooperating with the adjacent communities. Sounds like that's not the case--a shame, because I'm sure Forest Home could benefit from a cut of the ticket revenue. Thanks for respond to my e-mail. Your perspective is helpful and I appreciate your time. Respectfully, Justin Dobbs 5/11/2012 TOWN OF Il HACA !V�' oma.

Commonland abuts the Six Mile Creek Natural Area and the Upper and Lower Reservoirs, which draw people from far and wide for nude gay bathing and cliff jumping. Googling either of these phrases results in glowing testimonials from swimmers across the state who flock to the Reservoirs. As a result, Penny Lane in Commonland in recent years has been overwhelmed with swimmers' cars parking at the head of the trail into the gorge,to the point where 75%of the 118 residents on the road petitioned the Town of Ithaca to ban parking on the road May-September yearly. The petition was approved and signs were posted May 1,and since then hundreds of cars each warm afternoon have moved from Penny Lane onto the shoulders of Route 79 just outside Commonland. I am writing to ask for signage to protect the entrance to Commonland because the cars park so close to the entrance that residents cannot see to pull out onto Route 79,a very busy road with a 45 mile/hour speed limit there. The parked cars not only cut off visibility but block the bus stop nearby so that the TCAT bus cannot pull over to pick up riders. Residents are very worried about the likelihood of an accident there any day now. Is it possible to get signage banning parking for 50 feet either side of the Commonland entrance at Lois Lane? This would keep the bus stop there open as well. I appreciate your consideration of this request.

We in the Town hear of concerns about increased traffic from all areas of the Town of Ithaca. It seems to be one of the negatives of the modest, but continued economic growth ol'the Ithaca area. The Town does not have the right to restrict truck of any other type of traffic from the public roadways. Because of our unique geography. withgorges and steep hills, additional roads seem highly unlikely. At the Town level we are trying- to mitigate the problems with a focus on increased density of development in just a few areas of the Town so that bus service, walkways and safe biking can be improved. We are usually eager to support reduced speed limits and other traffic calming measures. My understanding is that there is a petition circulating in the Pine Tree Road neighborhood. I believe the Town and County will be supportive and will ask that the State (which has the authority to control speed limits) reduce the speed limit on Pine Tree Road. We are eager to hear of any other suggestions to improve the quality of life in our neighborhoods. Sincerely, Herbert J. Engman Town Supervisor.

Some of their concerns are: will they be able to obtain the necessary building permits for development, will the town build the proposed addition to Pennsylvania Avenue or will permission be given to the developer to extend the road at their cost? I would appreciate a letter from the town of Ithaca answering the above questions and offering any current information they would have on the development of this area. This would greatly assist me in providing the prospective buyers with answers prior to them making me an offer and saving a lot of unnecessary calls to the town office. I have already discussed this matter with Bruce Bates in the office and would deeply appreciate any consideration you can offer to me on this matter. Feel free to contact me should you have any further questions. I can be reached at(607) 272-4773 Thank you in advance.

Our understanding is that the Cornell Plantations is interested in leasing the vacant land at this location to the Town of Ithaca. Forest Home endorses the concept of the lease, and is enthusiastic about creating a small park in that location. Forest Home residents have a variety of ideas and visions for the proposed park—some of which are touched on very briefly in the proposal. The breadth and number of ideas residents submitted to the FHIA clearly demonstrates a high level of support for creating a small park. With submission of this proposal, the FHIA envisions two interrelated next steps: • First,we hope the Town of Ithaca will seriously explore the possibility of leasing the land under discussion from the Cornell Plantations. • Secondly, assuming the lease happens,we hope the Town of Ithaca will engage the residents of Forest Home in creative conversation and discussion about features desired in the small park. The FHIA is more than willing to support an opportunity for community feedback and discussion with the Town by circulating announcements, securing a venue for discussion, etc. Thank you for considering our proposal as you explore possible lease of the Cornell Plantations land. Forest Home is fully supportive of further investigation and development of a park. Please feel free to contact us at foresthomenews@gmail.com if we can answer questions or provide additional information.

Background:At the October 2011 Forest Home Improvement Association Annual Meeting, Ithaca Town Supervisor and Forest Home resident Herb Engman indicated that Cornell Plantations is interested in offering a long-term lease to the Town of Ithaca for the vacant land at the corner of Forest Home Drive and Pleasant Grove Road. Herb indicated a Forest Home proposal for using the land might usefully contribute to the Town's thinking about whether or not to accept the lease from Cornell. Accordingly, a working group from Forest Home came up with several ideas for how the community might use the parcel.Subsequently, Herb told us that it would be best if Forest Home put forth a single concept,to make it easier for the Town to consider the lease offer.A basic proposal was prepared and offered to the community of Forest Home for comment.The proposal offered to the Town, below, attempts to balance and be inclusive of a variety of community comments that reflect the many approaches and uses individuals envision. Proposed concept: Create a small park with these features: • Benches situated to enjoy a view of the creek and also placed in other locations. (lob) • A break in the existing fence to make it clear that the area is intended for use. • Natural, native, low-maintenance landscaping.* • Paths.* • An open area for occasional Forest Home gatherings.* Note: because there are concerns about the impact of Stream Setback legislation on maintaining an open area that requires mowing and because we need to balance the need for an open area with naturalistic plantings, careful decisions about type of grass(es)and discussion about mowing vs. not mowing is suggested. • Attention to accessibility for wheelchairs, strollers, and people who use aids like walkers and canes:at least some benches situated so that a wheelchair or stroller can be roll up next to them. *Landscaping, path materials, and open-area materials and maintenance plans should satisfy a variety of interests: accessibility;views; a naturalistic, low-maintenance setting and the flexibility to use the park for gatherings, play,gardening and walking as well as for individual enjoyment and as a wildlife habitat. Next step: Because the proposed small park has sparked interest among Forest Home residents and because there are a variety of visions, Forest Home requests design consultations with the Town in the event a park is approved for the parcel.The Forest Home Improvement Association is available to assist in scheduling community comment and conversation sessions with Town designers.

As a result of our procedures we noted one receipt we could not locate support for among those we examined for Justice Klein. Alternative procedures were performed to verify that the associated funds were properly collected and deposited. Following alternative Mel procedures, we were satisfied that receipts are properly recorded. 3. We noted that the months of April and December had not been reconciled for the Bail and Regular bank accounts for Justice Klein. This was brought to the attention of the clerk who performed the December reconciliations during fieldwork. We reviewed the completed December reconciliations and were satisfied they had been done correctly. 4. We noted a duplicate check and voided check error in the regular account register for Justice Klein. Check #1105 had been recorded as void, but we noted that the next two checks had been recorded with a duplicate check number of#1106 and the voided check #1105 was not present in the records. Per our review of the canceled checks on the bank statement, it was discovered that one of the duplicate checks in the register was#1105 and that the voided line item for#1105 in the register was incorrect. 5. We noted deposits for Justice Salk that had not been deposited within 72 hours due to the clerk being on vacation. Deposits for December 190'—22"d were deposited on December 30, 2011. 6. We noted one instance where the supporting documentation for a receipt was labeled with a duplicate receipt number for Justice Salk. The receipt was filed in the correct place in the records for the actual receipt number.

Activities take place there at unpredictable times, and regularly disturb the peace, quiet and enjoyment of the surrounding Coddington Road neighborhood. ^ For example, on June 7th, at around 10:30 AM, the firing of semi-automatic weapons could be heard very loudly across the creek at 915 Coddington Road, a property under sales contract. The semi-automatic gunfire went on for 45 minutes or so, and was very disruptive and bewildering. Making matters worse, when the City of Ithaca Police Department was called to inquire about the allowed use and the schedule of the shooting range, the caller was rebuffed and told that the City maintained no schedule and that police officers and their designees could use the range at any time, at their own discretion. The Coddington Road area in the immediate vicinity of the shooting range is zoned for low-density residential use and, as far as I can tell is protected against noise nuisance by the Town of Ithaca Noise Ordinance. Constant firing of guns echoing through the valley is a real nuisance. Moreover, in the absence of any known schedule, the unpredictable nature of these shooting episodes is upsetting and dismaying. The unexpected firing of semi-automatic weapons for any period of time, let alone 45 minutes, further devalues the quality of life for people who reside in a residential neighborhood. We called the Ithaca Police and the County Sheriff's office to find out more about the shooting range and what was going on there on the morning of June 7th. While both confirmed that the shooting range is indeed made available to Tompkins County law enforcement entities on a schedule maintained by a coordinator within the City of Ithaca's police department, neither was able to provide written documentation of the actual schedule and regulations regarding the use of the shooting facility. Given the noise produced by semi-automatic weapons, shouldn't the police be required by the Town of Ithaca Noise Ordinance to acquire a noise permit? Over the years, the sound of gunfire could be heard periodically. While a nuisance, we tolerated it in large part because of its occasional nature. But, the incident on June 7th was particularly upsetting, and made much worse by the lack of any information from the City regarding standards of usage. I look forward to hearing from you. Thank you for your consideration.

On May 3, 2012, we sent a letter to Time Warner Cable, requesting financial information related to franchise fee payments made to the Town of Ithaca during the past six years. We have received franchise fee payment data covering the time period from April 2006 through March 2012. We've reviewed the information from Time Warner and this letter contains a summary of our findings, consistent with our phone conversation of earlier today. sem%, First, a little background information regarding franchise fees. Under federal law, municipalities are allowed to charge franchise fees up to a maximum of 5% of gross revenues. However,just as important as the percentage is how the term "Gross Revenues" is defined. There are two basic types of revenue that are eligible for inclusion in the calculation of gross revenues—subscriber revenue and non-subscriber revenue. Subscriber revenue, as the name implies, is made up of charges that show up on subscribers' monthly bills. Non-subscriber revenue is made up of income Time Warner makes from the operation of the cable system in the Town that does not show up on subscriber bills. The two main components of this type of revenue are money made from the sale of local advertising and fees derived from sales on home shopping networks. Therefore, the maximum allowable franchise fee would be 5% of all subscriber and non- subscriber revenue made from the provision of cable television within the Town. Although there is no requirement to impose any cable franchise fee, federal law and Public Service Commission (PSC) rules address the minimum requirements if a franchise fee is imposed. Under PSC rules that covered the Town's current franchise agreement, if a franchise fee was imposed, it had to apply to at least all regular, recurring monthly charges on subscriber bills. Federal law also allows, although it does not require, cable companies to pass through franchise fees to subscribers as a separate line item on their monthly bill. For all intents and purposes, if a municipality imposes a cable franchise fee, that fee will be passed on to subscribers as a recurring monthly charge. Also, contrary to what Time Warner would like everyone to believe, franchise fees are not a tax. In the mid-1990's this exact issue was reviewed in federal court, with the court stating that franchise fees were just a cost of doing business for 10 cable companies—rent for access to and use of municipal rights of way. This is important, because taxes cannot be included in the calculation of gross revenues. Although they could just as easily have been built into the cable rate structure, cable companies fought for, and won, the right to make franchise fees a separate line item on the bill. 2 In addition to the Time Warner data, we've reviewed a copy of the Town's franchise agreement, which was approved by the PSC May 29,2003 and is scheduled to expire on May 29,2013. Therefore, the entire period reviewed was governed by the current franchise agreement. Section 18 of the franchise agreement calls for quarterly payments of 3%of Gross Revenues, which Section 10)of the agreement defines as follows: "Gross Revenues" means all revenues net of franchise fees and PEG access monies actually received by and paid to Time Warner Cable by subscribers residing within the Municipality for Cable Television Service purchased by subscribers on a regular, recurring monthly basis. Although this definition seems fairly straightforward, the language actually excludes a significant portion of allowable revenue, without actually saying it specifically. For instance,use of the phrase"paid to Time Warner Cable by subscribers"effectively eliminates all non- subscriber revenue (advertising and home shopping fees) from gross revenues. Likewise,the phrase"purchased by subscribers on a regular,recurring monthly basis"means that revenue from installations, late fees, and pay-per-view movies and events is also excluded. Whether the Town was aware of these revenue exclusions or not, they were allowable under State and Federal regulations. However,the attempt to exclude franchise fees from gross revenues—through use of the phrase"net of franchise fees"—was against PSC rules at the time of your franchise renewal. In fact,the PSC pointed out the error to Time Warner in their Order Approving Renewal(issued 5/29/03) stating: First, the definition of"Gross Revenues"in Section 10) of the agreement,which defines gross revenues as"all revenues net of franchise fees", is not consistent with our rules. Section 595.1(0) of our rules requires that the revenue base not be less than the revenues received directly from subscribers for any cable services purchased on a regular, recurring monthly basis. Therefore, our approval will be expressly conditioned upon striking from the renewal agreement"net of franchise fees"in Section 10). In reviewing franchise fee payment information, it is clear that Time Warner ignored PSC rules and the PSC Order and excluded franchise fees collected from subscribers each month from the calculation of gross revenues. This depressed the actual value of gross revenues and resulted in an underpayment of franchise fees to the Town. Although this error has most likely caused underpayments all the way back to 2003,the statute of limitations prevents us from recouping those underpayments beyond the past six years. From April 2006 through March 2012,we would estimate the underpayment to be $15,602.74 (spreadsheet enclosed). In addition, Section 18(d) of the franchise agreement calls for Time Warner to pay interest on the underpaid amount at the rate of 9%per annum, which would add an additional $5,000+to the amount owed. Correction of this error will result in increased franchise fee revenues of approximately$3,000 annually through the remaining term of your current agreement. This problem is fairly widespread amongst municipalities with Time Warner Cable franchise agreements. In fact, dozens of the municipalities we've worked with on this issue were involved in a complaint process before the PSC. In May of 2006,the PSC ruled in the municipalities' favor, stating that Time Warner did owe money for past underpayment of franchise fees in circumstances exactly like yours. 3 eooft1 I also want to point out that since these underpaid amounts would have been passed through to subscribers had franchise fees been handled properly in the first place, you should be aware that Time Warner's response will be to exercise their right to pass through the underpaid franchise fee amounts they now pay the Town as a result of any claim that is filed. Given that the Town had 3,302 subscribers (as of 3/12) we would estimate the impact of the temporary pass through to be about 39 cents a month over a period of one year. Although they could simply apologize and waive the pass through, Time Warner's strategy has been to use the pass through as a way to discourage municipalities from enforcing their agreements and demanding that the proper amounts be paid. At this point it isn't really a matter of whether the Town wants franchise fees passed through to subscribers,once a franchise fee is included in your franchise agreement that is inevitable. However, given that the error was caused by Time Warner, you'd obviously prefer that none of these amounts be passed through at this time—a sentiment that we will make clear to Time Warner when filing the claim. Our review has also identified two other issues that I want to bring to your attention. First, Section 18(d) of your agreement specifies that Time Warner will pay a late payment charge of 1.5% on any franchise fee payment that is not made on or before 60 days after the end of each quarter. According to Time Warner documentation,the 2nd Quarter 2009 franchise fee payment, �'►� which was due by August 29, 2009,was not issued until September 2, 2009. The late payment charge should have been $328.23 and we'll request that Time Warner make that payment or provide proof that it was already made. The other issue involves a somewhat mysterious deduction to Basic Service revenues in January, February, and March of 2007. During those three months the Time Warner data shows that revenues were reduced by $121,467.36 on a line called"Revenue Share." We know of no valid reason for that deduction and have asked Time Warner's Accounting Department for an explanation. If they don't have a valid reason for the deduction,this would represent another potential underpayment of$3,644.02 plus interest. We'll continue to pursue this issue with Time Warner and keep you informed of developments. I want to make clear that this enforcement action will not raise the franchise fee, it will simply require its accurate payment under the terms of your current franchise agreement as it was approved by the PSC. Likewise it will have no impact on cable rates, which are set through an entirely different process. In accordance with the directions you provided in our phone conversation of earlier today, we will file a claim with Time Warner to recover the underpaid amounts owed the Town. I'll copy you on all relevant correspondence with Time Warner Cable. Please feel free to contact me at any time with questions regarding this matter. �c%Ycae4 t on Partner Spreadsheet Enclosed Town of Ithaca Underpaid Franchise Fees 1) Underpayment due to exclusion of franchise fees from gross revenues in violation of PSC Order Approving Renewal.

McLaughlin Regional Director Southern Tier Regional Office State Office Building, Room 1508 44 Hawley Street Binghamton, NY 13901-4453 RE: Emerson Redevelopment Project 2012 Economic Development Grant Application Dear Kevin: It's no secret that when a factory closes, a part of a community's soul goes with it. This was the case when Emerson decided to cease production at its Ithaca plant, and it has stood vacant and distressingly quiet on our south hill for too long. Bringing that almost one million square feet of space back to life is of critical importance to both the Town and the Southern Tier Region, and a local developer has stepped forward with a plan to make that happen. I am writing to express my and the Town of Ithaca's strong support for David Lubin's proposed redevelopment of the shuttered Emerson factory. This project will bring up to 1,000 jobs back to the community while providing much needed housing for its citizens. We believe that his request for$400,000 in economic development funding through the CFA deserves the advocacy of the Southern Tier Regional Council and its subsequent approval at the state level. The use of program funds in furtherance of this project is warranted and represents what we see as a goad investment in the future of the region. Mr. Lubin intends to leverage the requested State funding with $1.6 million of his own money over the next year to get the necessary environmental testing done and to do the planning and prepare the requisite documentation to get this project moving forward. The scale of this undertaking requires that all parties proceed with eyes wide open, and this due diligence process is critical to making that possible. This is a clear instance where a small investment of State funds can yield a huge return. The Town of Ithaca is committed to seeing this project move forward, and we urge the Council to support this grant request.

Some of these cars are parked so that the homeowners have difficulty seeing oncoming traffic as they try to pull out of their driveways. As you may be aware, last year the Town Board passed a No Parking ordinance for Penny Lane(effective May 1 to September 30)because of the Common Land residents' concerns about some of the people accessing Second Dam who were disrupting the neighborhood with their actions and the trash they left behind. Because Route 79 is a State highway, the Town cannot post No Parking signs there,but we have contacted the State Dept. of Transportation and they are willing to post the stretch of road (both sides)from the City/Town border all the way east to Pine Tree Road. At the Town Board meeting on July 9, the Board discussed what parameters to ask the State to set on the No Parking limitation. We are considering asking for a ban on parking from 10 AM until 8 PM,between May 1 and September 30. Before requesting the State to prepare and install signs to that effect,we wanted to give you a chance to let us know what you think. Please contact me (by email or phone) in the next two weeks if you have any questions or comments about the No Parking proposal for Route 79 and I will bring your ideas to the whole Board for consideration. We will be discussing this at our next Board meeting on Monday, August 13. Thank you. Sincerely yours, William D.

Unfortunately work load, vac�ltions and the long-tenn lack of clarity of the situation have made it a continuing dilemma. In addition to the issues outlined in your letter is the question of ownership of the potential street and/or a right-of-way to build a street. A review of the files indicates the historical position of the Town has long been that the street would have to be built privately to Town standards before the Town could consider taking over maintenance. Since much of the housing developed in the Kendall/Pennsylvania Streets in recent years has been student housing, a comprehensive solution would have to include Ithaca College. I have contacted personnel there to begin a conversation about IC's role and responsibility. After that initial contact I would hope to get all parties together to plan a productive course. Lately we have been looking at new methods of solving the problems of all the properties in the Town with difficult development barriers like yours. In other words, I think we have made some progress in addressing the situation, but we are not at a solution yet. Thanks you for your patience and I hope to get back to you much more promptly in the future. Sincerely, ZI erbert J. Engman Town Supervisor Sti OF IT�r H - TOWN OF ITHACA 18 21 215 N.

In the Town of Ithaca we have had 40 households benefit from the valuable mortgage assistance program and I have seen a very positive impact in our community. Many individuals, including a number of Town of Ithaca middle- income employees, have told me they cannot afford to purchase a home in the Town of Ithaca. This type of program is essential to maintaining diversity within the Town. I am pleased that Better Housing for Tompkins County will play a role in the project if funded. We have had a very positive experience with that organization. I strongly hope that Tompkins County's funding application will be looked upon favorably. If I can be of further assistance, please do not hesitate to contact me. Sincerely, AH bert J.

Smith State Office Building Albany, New York 12236 AC 973(Rev.7/85) Cities under 125,000 population Counties , 1 Towns ! Villages STATE OF NEW YORK OFFICE OF THE STATE COMPTROLLER This is the official debt statement form prescribed by the State Comptroller pursuant to section 141.00 of the Local Finance Law for use by counties, towns,villages and cities having a population of less than 125,000 inhabitants. THOMAS P. DiNAPOLI State Comptroller INSTRUCTIONS 1. STATUTORY REFERENCE. A statutory reference can be found after each item of indebtedness to be included and excluded in the debt statement. For example, §135.00 (a)(1) means"subdivision 1 of paragraph (a)of section 135.00 of the Local Finance Law". Wherever a reference appears, that section of the Local Finance Law should be consulted. 2. DATE OF PREPARATION. This statement must not be prepared more than thirty days previous to the date of sale of bonds. Local Finance Law, section 109.00. 3. FILING. A debt statement must be filed between three and fifteen days before a municipality sells any bonds which are required to be sold at public sale. The statement must be filed with the State Comptroller and a duplicate copy must be filed with the clerk or corresponding officer of the municipality. It is not necessary to file a copy in the county clerk's office. Local Finance Law, section 109.00. 4. AVERAGE FULL VALUATION OF TAXABLE REAL ESTATE. In computing "Average Full Valuation of Taxable Real Estate" on page 5, use last completed assessment roll and four preceding rolls. An assessment roll is one which has been completed, verified and filed by the assessors and for which a state equalization rate has been finalized. The words "For Fiscal Year Ending" refer to the year for which taxes have been or will be extended on the assessment roll rather than the year in which the roll was completed. �1 Page 1 The amounts to be used in Column 1 should be the amounts shown on such rolls after the hearing of 110, grievances and the filing of the final completed assessment rolls, regardless of subsequent changes. In Column 1, include the assessed valuations of special franchises but exclude the assessed valuations of all exempt properties to the extent they are exempt from general taxation. Full valuation (Column 3) is determined as follows: Divide the taxable assessed valuations (Column 1) by the final equalization rate (Column 2) established by the State Board of Equalization and Assessment for such valuation. Where boundary changes have occurred and in the case of newly- created municipalities, see section 2.00 (7)(a) of the Local Finance Law. In the case of counties, average full valuation is computed by dividing the taxable assessed valuations on the last completed and four preceding assessment rolls for each of the cities and towns therein by the final equalization rates established for such rolls; provided, however, in a county having a county department of assessment the state equalization rates established for the cities and towns therein on the basis of the county roll shall be applied to the appropriate portions of the county roll. The sum of the quotients thus obtained must then be divided by five. 5. INCLUSIONS. Re item 8, Page 5. Include the respective amounts of all several indebtedness and allocated or apportioned joint indebtedness contracted or incurred pursuant to Article II, Title 1-A of the Local Finance Law in relation to a joint service or a joint water, sewage or drainage project. The amount of joint indebtedness to be so included should not exceed the amount of such indebtedness allocated and apportioned to the municipality in the bond or note resolution authorizing such indebtedness to be contracted. Joint indebtedness to be included arising out of real property liabilities contract liabilities should not exceed the amount of such indebtedness required to be allocated and apportioned to the municipality in the agreement of the participating municipalities in relation to such joint service or project. Where the agreement does not provide for any such allocation or apportionment, or in the case of involuntary joint indebtedness, the amount to be allocated and apportioned and included in the debt statement of a participating municipality should be in the same proportion as the full valuation of the real estate subject to taxation or assessment by such municipality for such joint service or project bears to the full valuation of the real estate subject to taxation or assessment by all of the participating municipalities for such joint service or project. See Local Finance Law, section 15.10. However, if the State Comptroller has issued a certificate allocating and apportioning such joint indebtedness pursuant to the provisions of section 15.10 of the Local Finance Law, the amounts so allocated and apportioned by the State Comptroller should be included in the debt statements of each respective municipality as indebtedness. 6. GROSS JOINT INDEBTEDNESS. The aggregate gross amount of all joint indebtedness including borrowings, real property liabilities, contract liabilities, judgments, claims, awards and determinations contracted or incurred and before any apportionment or allocation should be stated at page 5 of the debt statement. 1� Page 2 7. EXCLUSIONS: (1) Item 1, Page 6. Do not include any tax or revenue obligations, or renewals thereof, which have not been retired within five years after the date such original obligations were issued. (2) Item 2, Page 6. Include only obligations issued for objects or purposes other than the financing of capital improvements and contracted to be redeemed in one of the two fiscal years immediately succeeding the year of their issue. Do not include bonds, bond anticipation notes, capital notes, budget notes or obligations which have been issued for the direct financing of improvements or equipment. Do not include serial bonds of an issue having a maximum maturity of more than two years. (3) Item 3, Page 6. Do not include joint or several indebtedness contracted pursuant to Article II, Title 1-A of the Local Finance Law to finance a joint water project. Such indebtedness is to be included in Item 14,page 6. (4) Items 4 and 5, Page 6. Do not include any indebtedness contracted pursuant to Article II, Title 1-A of the Local Finance Law in relation to a joint service or a joint water, sewage or drainage project. Such indebtedness is to be included in either item 15 or 16 at page 6. (5) Item 13, Page 6. Include city indebtedness for education purposes, if any, allocated to the city school district by the State Comptroller pursuant to section 1 of chapter 831 of the Laws of 1951. (6) Item 14, Page 6. State the respective amounts of any several indebtedness and the allocated or apportioned amounts of any joint indebtedness contracted or incurred in relation to the financing of a joint water project pursuant to Article II, Title 1-A of the Local Finance Law. (7) Items 15 and 16, Page 6. State the respective amounts of any several indebtedness and the allocated or apportioned amounts of any joint indebtedness contracted or incurred in relation to the financing of a joint service and a joint sewage or drainage project pursuant to Article II, Title 1-A of the Local Finance Law and excluded pursuant to the provisions of section 15.20, 123.00 and 124.10 of such law. 8.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my nd and affixed the seal of said Town this 6`h day of September. Paulette Terwilliger, Town Clerk SEAL TLp 11.7 Mr. Herbert Engman ,Supervisor 9/09/2012 Town of Ithaca Dear Mr. Engman, I want to let you know that our many attempts to donate the property (1296/8 Trumansburg Road) have not worked out. At our age we are no longer able to care for the property. Therefore we are putting the property to auction in October. In these difficult times it seems that no organization is interested in taking on (or able to take on ) the risk or expense of making the Chapel a public educational center focused on the Abolitionist Movement in Ithaca. New York State Office of Historic Properties has declined the offer ,informing us that their agency is having difficulty in maintaining the historic properties presently under the State's ownership. Our letter to Historic Ithaca (here enclosed) explains our position. Historic Ithaca would first convert the Chapel to a rental unit , and possibly may have to sell the property in two years or more. We hope that the next owners will align their interest in the property with the goals of the National Registry of Historic Places. We will pass on all the literature that pertains to the history of the property that we have accumulated, as well as potential sources ,including the National Registry and Ithaca's Law 2, 2011. We are grateful for the patient attention and time that you and the Planning Board gave toward the continuing preservation of Historic properties in Ithaca. Our Many Thanks. Sincerely, r rizpll,�_ TO: Historic Ithaca ATT: Dennis Stein , Alphonse Pieper and Board Members The Chapel had never been rented, and has been vacant since I moved my studio. Rosalind and I wanted the Chapel to be used as Library and/or Museum--to serve an educational purpose regarding the history of the Abolitionist movement in Ithaca—to pay homage to the bravery, sacrifice , and humanity of Ithaca's Abolitionists who built the Chapel, dedicating it (as documented) to God and the Freedom of Man. We appreciate that the Schoolhouse being rented would help an organization that took over the property. The rent would help the project we envisioned for the Chapel.(We had hoped that eventually the Schoolhouse, too, might be open to the public). But we do not want the Chapel to be converted to a rental. unit .We believe It defeats the purpose (stated above) for our wanting to donate the property. We appreciate your informing us that if Historic Ithaca cannot develop and continue to maintain the buildings, the property might be sold as has been Historic Ithaca's procedure with other properties, owned for short periods. Because our vision for this property is not in the foreseeable future of your plans, we are withdrawing our offer. I believe that Mr.Hinchcliff had already spoken to you about our position. Our sincere thanks for your having considered this property.

We have a coalition of more than 50 municipalities and 3 statewide organizations that provide support to municipalities joining in the brief in support of Municipal Home Rule in NYS. As you are probably aware, the Notices of Appeal were filed in early April of 2012 with the State of New York Appellate Division, Third Judicial Department. We have been informed that the appeal in the Town of Dryden case will most likely be perfected, meaning the Appellant/Plaintiff will file their brief by the end of September 2012, with a final deadline of December 30, 2012. After that time,the Appellees/Defendants briefs will be filed. if this timeline is followed, we would be prepared to file our Amicus Briefs in October or November 2012. The Appellate Division would then hear the oral argument sometime after the new year, 2013, and a decision would be expected in the Spring of 2013. While the two cases may be placed on a parallel schedule with the Court, the final deadline for perfecting the appeal in the Town of Middlefield case extends to late May 2013. Your continued support is greatly appreciated in our effort to preserve Municipal Home Rule and protect any municipality's legal right to decide for itself whether gas drilling is an appropriate land use for its citizens.

JOAN MCDONALD REGIONAL DIRECTOR COMMISSIONER September 28, 2012. Mr.Herbert J. Engem Supervisor,Town of Ithaca 215 North Tioga Street Ithaca,New York 14850 Dear Mr, Engman: RE: PARKING ON ROUTE 79 This is a follow up to our June 6, 2012 letter regarding the Town's request to restrict parking on both sides of Route 79 near the Commonlands. Our traffic engineers have completed their review of this area. Following collaboration between line Weber,Town of Ithaca Highway Superintendent,and the Town Board,the limits of the parking restriction were determined to be between the Ithaca east city line and a point just east of Pine Tree Road, a distance of just less than one mile. Due to the seasonal nature of the problem,the Town Board decided that the restriction should be in place between the hours of 10 AM to 8 PM,and from May 1 to September 30. Our traffic engineers developed the attached sign face layouts based on this information. No Parking signs must be spaced at intervals of 200±feet maximum to be enforceable. This will require 56 signs. These signs will be ordered and installed by our maintenance forces. Due to the time required for fabrication and delivery, sign installation will likely occur next year,but we will make every attempt to have them installed before May 1. Your continued interest in this matter has been greatly appreciated. Very truly yours, T � � DIANA L. GRASER,P. E. Regional Traffic Engineer Attachments cc: D.

The Unified Court System's Action Plan for the Justice Courts, announced November 2006, includes initiatives to improve accountability and controls over Justice Court finances and records. Among the initiatives is increased monitoring of town and village board compliance with section 2019-a. Accordingly, I am requesting that you provide a copy of your most recent audit (calendar year 2011 or fiscal year ending in 2012) or examination of your local court's records and a copy of your board resolution acknowledging that the required examination or audit was conducted. Please forward the report and the resolution to Linda Miller, Chief Internal Auditor, NYS Office of Court Administration, 98 Niver Street, Cohoes, N"( 12047. If you have any questions, please call Susan Winters at (518) 238-4303. Thank you for your cooperation. Very truly yours, A.

Ithaca has long had a tremendous need for more affordable housing. The housing market is greatly impacted by the colleges and university and this pressure impacts the availability and cost of decent housing for those most vulnerable such as the elderly. The Town has been working proactively to address this need for more affordable housing since the County released a study in 2006 that detailed the need for more than 2,500 new affordable homes over ten years. The Town, in an effort to fulfill this need, has worked with Conifer and Ithaca Neighborhood Housing Services, Inc. over the last several years to approve this Cayuga Meadows proposal. The Town granted preliminary site plan approva}, rezoned the Cayuga Meadows parcel specifically to accommodate senior affordable housing, approved variances and specifically exempted the proposal from an area wide development moratorium. The Town encouraged senior housing in this location partially because of its proximity to the only hospital in the area. We request that you give Cayuga Meadows your utmost consideration and hope you will provide the funding necessary to help address the affordable housing needs in our Town. Sincerely, Herbert J.

I write to you as the leader of a Town that has a continuous unmet need for workforce housing. Cornell University and Ithaca College create a tremendous amount of pressure on the availability and cost of housing. This pressure tends to impact the lower to moderate income working families the most. Conifer Realty has been a leader in our community in addressing this great housing need. Conifer developed some of the first workforce housing in our Town in the mid 1990's. They have since completed five affordable housing developments and have become valuable members of our community. Conifer's apartment communities are all very well built and are exceedingly well managed and maintained. We are grateful we have such a responsive and professional company fulfilling this important need in our community. I highly recommend Conifer to address the affordable housing needs in your community. I would be happy to speak with you should you have any questions. Sincerely, Herbert .

This portion of Forest Home Drive is a very popular recreational use area. joggers,cyclists, and walkers have been traditional users. In addition,Cornell Plantations'visitors enjoy walking on the edge of the roadway along Fall Creek as part of their arboretum experience. The area known on Fall Creek as Flat Rock is also a very popular wading area for residents and visitors alike who park just off Forest Home Drive. Safety is a concern for all these uses as there are inadequate walkways so most of the recreational use occurs at the edge of the roadway. Reducing the speed on Forest Home Drive will vastly improve the situation. After consultation with selected Forest Home Drive residents most knowledgeable of this area,we propose a new speed of 35 MPH. If FHIA can provide additional information,don't hesitate to contact us.

The "blind curves" on this stretch are a source of concern for many, as there is extensive crossi1111 and pedestrian use along the road and between the Plantations Arboretum, plus the trails along Fal I Creek.

I do not handle family court matters and that request should be sent to Family Court at Tompkins County, I would assume. As far as a marriage license, I can give you the outline, but it is not possible to do while incarcerated in Lansing which is where the Tompkins County Jail is. That being said, any town or city clerk in the State of NY can issue a marriage license. Both parties to the marriage have to be present before the Clerk with proof of identity and age which NYS is very particular about. The most common are birth certificates and driver's licenses. I am enclosing a brochure that details the other types of identification that can be accepted. If either party to the marriage has been married before, proof of dissolution of that marriage, either a divorce decree or a death certificate, must be provided. The cost of a license is $40 and the license is good for 60 days. As I said above, I know that the Lansing Clerks will not go to the jail to issue a license if that was your intent. Justices of the Peace or Marriage Officers to perform a civil ceremony charge between $75 and $150 for the service. Sincerely, COPY Paulette Terwilliger 10•
