TB Resolution 2023 - 028: Water & Sewer Benefit Assessment Revision for Various Cemeteries within the Town of Ithaca
Whereas, the following cemeteries were assessed water and sewer benefit units on the 2022 Town and County Tax bill;
TMP# OWNER(S) LOCATION Water Units Sewer Units 24.-1-25.23 West Hill Cemetery Assoc. 200 Hayts Rd 2 0 35.-1-20 Town of Ithaca Elmira Rd 2 2 38.-3-9 King Cemetery 360 Stone Quarry
Rd 2 0 46.-1-9 South Hill Cemetery Assoc. Coddington Rd 2 0 and,
Whereas, a discussion was held at the January 17th Public Works Committee (PWC) meeting regarding the applicability of water and sewer benefit units for cemeteries, and
Whereas, the PWC determined that cemeteries are not clearly defined within our Town of Ithaca Water and Sewer Benefit Formula and more discussion should be held regarding applicability
of the water and sewer benefit formula for cemeteries with or without water/sewer services, and
Whereas, discussion at the PWC was in favor of charging the above referenced cemeteries to zero (0) water and sewer benefit units because it was determined these cemeteries do not have
water and/or sewer services, and
Whereas, the town water and sewer benefit formula has a provision for the Town Board to vary application of the benefit formula, now therefore be it
Resolved, that the Town Board hereby approves and authorizes the revision of water and sewer benefit units, for the above referenced cemeteries, to zero (0) until such time the water
and sewer benefit formula can be reviewed and/or revised.
