1. Call to order and Pledge of Allegiance
2. Persons to be Heard and Board Comments
Isabel Mendoza spoke about issues in and around the Commonland development, specifically,
Penny Lane and Lois Lane and people parking there to visit the dam and speeding through as
they come and go. She said it is a real safety concern because residents have almost been hit by
cars as they walk around the neighborhood, and the visitors are parking in our spots and on the
road, making it difficult to access and enjoy their neighborhood and they harass us, they drink
and drive and litter and more. They do call the Sheriff’s office and they do ticket sometimes and
have towed a few that parked on the emergency access road that goes through her property, but
that hasn’t done much.
She asked if the Town could address these issues in some way.
Mr. Howe responded, saying this we are familiar with this issue and have tried things in the past.
He referred the issue to the Public Works Committee.
3. Discussion regarding Emergency Medical Services in Tompkins County
Mike Titley, Director, Department of Emergency Response spoke about a model for a program to
relieve some of the stress on local fire departments in answering first response calls for medical
emergencies.
Most volunteer fire departments struggle with staffing the EMS/First Responder component of
their departments. With the increase in calls being dropped due to staffing, they approached the
County with their concerns which resulted in the County starting a model program called Rapid
Medical Response Program or RMR which places EMS response vehicles strategically around
the County to respond to calls for service. There are three RMR vehicles and their sole
responsibility is to be the first medical responder to a call, regardless of how its screened by
dispatch or the level of the service call.
TB 2026-06-08 (Files 6/18) Pg. 2
Since then, an internal study was conducted to look at any other problems with EMS responses.
What we found was a lack of ambulances for transport to hospitals. People calling 911 could
wait up to 30 minutes for a first responder and then more for the ambulance when needed.
Rordan Hart, Mayor of the Village of Trumansburg explained the history of the Trumansburg
EMS, which is a 24/7 paid ambulance service. They contract with Ulysses, Covert, and Hector to
provide ambulance services to them, which is about 115 square miles and when combined with
the calls that they take outside of that contracted service area, it is about 400 square miles that
they cover. He said a good portion of those outside calls are in the Town of Ithaca with some in
the City of Ithaca. The municipalities that they contract with are asking where their tax dollars
are going in support of the service, which led to the conversation with the County.
He said that they are in favor of and support the RMR program and the expansion of it. He said
both the Town and City have benefited over the past decade from their service because neither
one contracts or funds Bangs Ambulance Services. They provide a good service, without an
agreement or enforcement in place.
Dan Lamb, Town of Dryden Deputy Supervisor stated that the Town of Dryden doubled their
ambulance tax in 2019, which is now about 20% of their budget at about $1.2M a year.
He gave an overview of studies that he helped put together at the Tompkins County Committee
of Government’s (TCCOG) request. They found that the 57 counties in NYS use 57 different
systems for providing EMS and ambulance services, running off a patchwork system based on
the people who decided to start and incorporate volunteer services and private companies such as
Bangs.
Mr. Lamb then explained the disparities and inequities within that type of system. Everyone
knows there are fewer volunteers and a steady increase in calls, costs and longer response times.
Holistically we need to make changes to the system to better serve the people in the County.
4. Public Hearing and Consider adoption of a proposed Local Law Amending Chapter
135 of the Town of Ithaca Code “Revising the Distributed Energy Resources(s) and
Eligible Investors definitions in Chapter 135, Community Choice Aggregation
(Energy) Program and Distributed Energy Resources Program” in the Town Code.
TB Resolution 2026 – 35: Adoption of Local Law of 2026, Revising the Distributed Energy
Resource(s) and Eligible Investors Definitions in the Town of Ithaca Code, Chapter 135,
Community Choice Aggregation (Energy) Program and Distributed Energy Resources
Program
Whereas, the Town Board unanimously passed the Green New Deal Resolution in March of
2020, which calls for an equitable transition to carbon neutrality Town-wide by 2030, and
TB 2026-06-08 (Files 6/18) Pg. 3
Whereas, to help accomplish this transition, the Town Board has adopted and subsequently
amended Town of Ithaca Code Chapter 135, Community Choice Aggregation (Energy) Program
and Distributed Energy Resources Program, and
Whereas, the Town has determined additional amendments to Chapter 135 are needed to further
clarify that the Community Choice Aggregation program and Distributed Energy Resources
program are two legally separate programs,
Whereas, a duly published and posted notice of the public hearing was held on June 8, 2026, and
Whereas, pursuant to the New York State Environmental Quality Review Act (“SEQRA”) and its
implementing regulations at 6 NYCRR Part 617, it has been determined by the Town Board that
adoption of the proposed local law is a Type II action because it constitutes “routine or
continuing agency administration and management, not including new programs or major
reordering of priorities that may affect the environment,” and thus this action is not subject to
review under SEQRA, now, therefore, be it,
Resolved, that the Town Board adopts Local Law of 2026, entitled “A Local Law Revising the
Distributed Energy Resource(s) and Eligible Investors Definitions in the Town of Ithaca Code
Chapter 135, Community Choice Aggregation (Energy) Program and Distributed Energy
Resources Program.”
