TB Resolution 2025– 066: Authorization for Supervisor to sign the Campus Wide Stormwater Operation, Maintenance, and Reporting Agreement and stormwater related easement associated with
Cayuga Medical Center
Whereas, the Cayuga Medical Center (CMC) has many stormwater management and treatment facilities that have been installed over the years during various projects. Each project has an
individual Stormwater Operation, Maintenance, and Reporting Agreement (SOMRA) and associated easements, and
Whereas, CMC wishes to terminate the individual agreements and easements and enter into a campus wide SOMRA and easement that will replace the prior individual agreements, 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
approval of the proposed Operation, Maintenance and Reporting Agreement, and the proposed Permanent Stormwater and Access Easements and Right-of-Way, 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 authorizes the Town Supervisor to sign the Campus Wide Stormwater Operation, Maintenance, and Reporting Agreement and stormwater easement associated with
the Cayuga Medical Center and termination of the prior stormwater agreements and easements, subject to the review by the Attorney for the Town and approval of the Town Engineer.
