the East Academy Street Bridge; bringing Town water to McGraw and Polkville; and concerns
regarding highways. Councilman O'Donnell stated there is no revenue base in the Village of

Councilman O'Donnell commented that it was a good meeting and was happy to be
invited to attend.
Supervisor Tupper offered privilege of the floor to Bill Breidinger.
Bill Breidenger representing the Homer -Cortland Community Agency
(Brockway/Homeville Museum), asked the Board for their support by applying for the 2007
Environmental Protection Fund (EPF) Historic Preservation grant. The grant request was for
$375,000.00 with a $375,000.00 match from the Homer -Cortland Community Agency (HCCA).
Mr. Breidenger explained that this particular grant allowed the applicant to include expenses
over the past three years, which would allow the agency to use the purchase of property as their
part of the match.
Mr. Breidenger explained that funds from the grant would be used for the removal of the
current storage sheds from the riverfront, building replacement sheds at the southeast corner of
the site, away from the river, preserving to original rail style doors. Funds would also be used
for renovation of the main building's north annex, which would house the "Homeville Museum."
Supervisor Tupper reiterated that the Town would not be responsible for matching the
grant, but must apply for the grant on behalf of the HCCA. There would be no cost to the Town.
Councilman Proud suggested the Board table the request to apply for the grant until the
June 20, 2007 Town Board Meeting, which would allow the Board time to review the
application.
JUNE 06, 2007 TOWN BOARD MEETING PAGE 4
Mr. Breidinger explained that the application was due by June 29, 2007. Among other
items, the application must include ownership documentation, photos showing the project area,
and the adopted Town Board resolution.
Attorney Folmer suggested the Board adopt the resolution to allow Town Clerk Snyder
time to certify the resolution prior to the application due date.

Motion by Councilman Rocco
Seconded by Councilman O'Donnell
VOTES: ' ALL AYE ADOPTED
WHEREAS, the Homer -Cortland Community Agency, Inc. requested the Town Board apply for
the 2007 Environmental Protection Fund Historic Preservation grant on behalf of the agency for
the Brockway/Homeville Museum Project, and
WHEREAS, the Town Board believes it would be in the best interest of the Town to make

therefore
BE IT RESOLVED, the Supervisor is hereby authorized and directed to file application to the

Cortland Community Agency, Inc., and it is further
RESOLVED, the Supervisor is hereby authorized and directed to sign said application on behalf
of the Homer -Cortland Community Agency, Inc., and upon approval of said request to enter into
and execute a project agreement with the EPF for such financial assistance.
Councilman Rocco thanked Mr. Breidinger for his interest in the Brockway/Homeville
Museum and for all of his work on the grant application.
Councilman Rocco reported on many different subjects.
First, he mentioned that the 2007 Quality Report for the Water & Sewer Dept. was
available for the public, which Water & Sewer Sup't. Alteri did an excellent job on.
Secondly, Councilman Rocco informed the Board the new 30 mph speed limit signs were
posted in the residential neighborhoods that were approved by the NYS DOT thanks to Highway
Sup't. Bush. The 45 mph speed limit signs for NYS Route 222 had not yet been posted.
Councilman Rocco contacted the NYS DOT regarding the signage after another accident
occurred at the intersection of Fairview Drive/Highland Road and NYS Route 222. The State
would special order the new signs and post them as soon as possible.
Councilman Rocco reported that Thoma Development sent a very nice article on the Vogt
Barn in McGraw to the State of New York with regard the grant received. All of the Historians
in the County would visit the Vogt Barn to look at the restoration.
Councilman Rocco stated he would be attending the Article 78 proceeding filed by
C.A.P.E., which would be held in Norwich and offered to carpool with anyone else interested in
attending.
On a final note, Councilman Rocco informed the Board he received numerous complaints
regarding dumping at the new Salvation Army Family Store located on NYS Route 281 near
Lamont Circle. The Sheriffs Department and the NYS Police were notified of the problem as
well. The Salvation Army installed gates at the entrances/exits to the property. Although the
gates are locked in the evening, they do not prevent dumping. Last year alone, the Salvation
Army spent $125,000 hauling items to the dump that were left at the site.
Councilman Rocco discussed his concerns with a representative of the Salvation Army
and asked that they put a stop to the dumping. He even suggested the Salvation Army hire a
security guard to watch the facility during non -business hours, which would cost less than the
cost of hauling the garbage to the dump.
Supervisor Tupper and Attorney Folmer would write a letter to the owner regarding the
issue.
