TOWN BOARD MEETING
The Regular Meeting of the Town Board of the Town of Cortlandville was held at the
Raymond G. Thorpe Municipal Building, 3577 Terrace Road, Cortland, New York, with
Supervisor Tupper presiding.
Members present: Supervisor, Richard C. Tupper
Councilman, Theodore V. Testa

Others present were: Town Attorney, John Folmer; Highway Sup't. Carl Bush; Allan
Stauber; Jeff Breed and Ben Stuart from Gutchess Lumber; News Reporters: Tyrone Heppard
from the Cortland Standard, and Sharon Stevans from Channel 2 Access TV.
Supervisor Tupper called the meeting to order.
Supervisor Tupper briefly discussed the 2015 Preliminary Budget. He stated that the
Preliminary Budget has been reviewed by the Board and they are hoping to shave one to two cents
to maintain the $3.05 Town tax rate, which has been the rate for the past 10 years. Supervisor
Tupper indicated that about $15,000 to $20,000 had to be cut from the Preliminary Budget in order
to keep the tax rate the same.
The Board thanked Supervisor Tupper for his work on the budget. Supervisor Tupper
thanked the department heads for all of their hard work. He explained that the Town generally
underestimates its revenue and overestimates its expenditures which gives the Town a surplus each
year. Supervisor Tupper also mentioned that the Town recently received its 0' quarter sales tax
check. The Town underestimated its sales tax by over $300,000 this year.
Councilman Rocco stated that it was phenomenal that the Town could come out with a
budget where there was no tax increase in view of the fact that that Town lost some of its sales tax
money due to the County's telecommunication system. Supervisor Tupper explained that next
year's sales tax should be up as well because Senator Seward helped the County receive $445
million in additional funding for the telecommunications project.
Councilman Proud made a motion, seconded by Councilman Leach, to approve the Draft
Town Board Minutes of October 1, 2014 as written. All voting aye, the motion was carried.

Supervisor Tupper mentioned that he had no requests for privilege of the floor.
Councilman Testa mentioned that there has been a lot of discussion regarding the manure
pit to be located off of Route 90 and Foster Road in the Town of Homer. He questioned whether
Supervisor Tupper had an opportunity to speak with Walt Kalena from Clough Harbour &
Associates. He noted that he spoke with Senator Seward's office regarding the matter.
Supervisor Tupper stated that he has received several phone calls from residents
questioning if the Town has an ordinance in place to protect residents from something similar
occurring. Agriculture is exempt from most of the Town's planning and zoning rules and
regulations. Supervisor Tupper received a phone call from Planning Board Member Nick Renzi
indicating that the Town Planning Board is concerned about the issue. He spoke with Walt
Kalena from Clough Harbour & Associates, and the Town may be receiving a $25,000 grant for
agricultural review. Supervisor Tupper stated that the Town could have Mr. Kalena look into
what the Town can do to regulate manure pits.
Councilman Testa questioned whether the Town could adopt a moratorium on manure
pits.
Attorney Folmer mentioned that in New York State there is a "Right to Farm Law". The
question is whether or not that has fully exempted the field with the regulation of the manure
pits. He stated that a discussion is going on as to whether or not a moratorium is appropriate, or
if a moratorium could be done. He stated that there is a distinction between the Right to Farm
Law and the fracking decision that was made that said localities have the right to regulate.
Regarding fracking, the state preempted the operation of the mining industry, but it didn't
preempt the zoning, which is how Dryden was able to do what it did. The Right to Farm Law
seems to have preempted everything. Attorney Folmer stated that the topic is on the Town
Planning Board's agenda. He also mentioned that he would be doing some research on the
matter between now and the next Planning Board meeting. Councilman Rocco also provided
him with some information to review.

Councilman Rocco apprised the Board that he was contacted by resident of the Town of
Homer who would be affected by the manure pit and was asked for his help. He stated that the
NYS Department of Agriculture has "been working very hard over the past ten years trying to
separate the farmer's business from the town board's ability to make any changes to whatever
agriculture wishes to do." The impacts that a manure pit could have on the quality of drinking
water may be one way that a town board could take action. He discussed how residents would
be impacted by the manure pit and odors, and discussed the spreading of manure.
Councilman Leach stated that farmers are under a great deal of pressure from the EPA
and certain requirements including the amount of manure that can be spread per acre. Protection
of the watershed is also a concern. He suggested that farmers in general are probably trying to
comply with the EPA requirements.
Councilman Testa questioned what Supervisor Tupper discussed with Mr. Kalena from
CHA. Supervisor Tupper explained that Mr. Kalena would research the matter and see if he
could find anything in the laws, however Mr. Kalena was not positive that anything could be
done.
For the Board's information, Councilman Rocco mentioned that in 1999 North Carolina
banned manure pits. The farming industry brought the matter back before the courts in 2007 and
it was rejected once again. He stated that North Carolina was the only state he found that has
brought the issue to the courts.
Councilman Proud stated that the EPA has been leaning on agriculture. Their focus has
been on water quality in the Chesapeake Bay area. The Department of Agriculture is involved as
well as the EPA. Manure handling has been a big issue and there are fairly tight regulations. He
mentioned that the operation proposed in Homer has been in the plans for several years, and also
stated that there is a legitimate concern by the surrounding property owners.
Councilman Proud stated that the Town of Cortlandville is in a good position because the
Town applied for an agricultural grant and should be notified soon if it received a grant. The
Town would hopefully be in the position to develop an agricultural plan for the Town, which
would put the Town ahead of other municipalities.
The monthly reports of the Code Enforcement Officer, Town Clerk, Supervisor, and
Water & Sewer Dept. for the month of October 2014 were on the table for review and are filed in
the Town Clerk's Office.
Councilman Proud made a motion, seconded by Councilman Testa, to receive and file the
Cortlandville Fire District's Independent Auditor's Report for the year ending December 31,
2013. All voting aye, the motion was carried.
Councilman made a motion, seconded by Councilman, to receive and file correspondence
from Time Warner Cable, dated November 5, 2014, regarding programming services, as well as
the new service rates effective September 2014. All voting aye, the motion was carried.
Town Clerk Snyder briefly discussed the sale of conservation licenses and pointed out
that her monthly report from September to October decreased from $33,000 to $3,000. She
explained that sales decreased since October 1st was the deadline to apply for Doe Management
Permits (DMPs). The second round of First Come First Serve DMPs opened Saturday,
November Is'. While her office was not open for business that day, she mentioned that the State
experienced problems with the program, which have since been resolved. Town Clerk Snyder
congratulated the hunters for their patience this season with the State's new software program.
Attorney Folmer reported:
Zone Change Request — Gutchess Lumber Co., Inc.:
Attorney Folmer suggested the Board schedule a public hearing regarding the Zone
Change request submitted by Gutchess Lumber on November 19, 2014 at 5:30 p.m. Gutchess
Lumber would make a power point presentation, and James Trasher from Clough Harbour &
Associates would be in attendance to answer questions with regard to the SEQRA review. A
question and answer period would take place after the power point presentation.

Attorney Folmer apprised the Board that when the State relocated Bennie Road, a portion
of the road became non -usable and should be abandoned and transferred to the property owners
on each side of the road. In order to accomplish the abandonment of the road, the Board must
sign a Certificate of Abandonment after the Town receives the consent of the County Highway
Sup't., pursuant to the provisions of the highway law. Attorney Folmer requested authorization
for the Board to execute the Certificate of Abandonment and the Deed to the adjoining
landowners, contingent upon the receipt of the consent of the County Highway Sup't.
Councilman Rocco questioned if the abandoned road would remain as is or if the
blacktop would be removed. He also questioned whether the adjoining property owners were
interested in the abandoned road. Attorney Folmer stated that the road would remain, but would
become the property of the adjoining property owners who had been asking the Town to abandon
the road for the past few years.
Councilman Proud questioned whether the turnaround that the Town would need for
snow plows was negotiated. Attorney Folmer explained that it was. Once the Town has
accomplished the abandonment, the turnaround would be granted back to the Town.
