Added Item.
Mr. Howe noted that this came from concerns discussed previously about the park and the
m eeti n, 1 ill n ithat work wi, th the 1, g w th h t e Sri *ng Center and the Shea s. The su,ggest* on was we,
State DOT request' no parking signs" on East Shore 'urive ,in that area.
Mr. Slater noted that the DOT suggested a slight change from the map distributed because the
gulderall is tight in one area and signs are not needed so it would be essentially from the Cayuga

Dear Ms. Rosa:

TOWN CLERK
RE: LOWER SPEED LIMIT REQUEST
ROUTE 96, TOWN OF ITHACA
...............
This is in further response to your speed reduction request on State Route 96, between Hayts
Road and town of Ulysses municipal line, in the town of Ithaca. New York State Department of
Transportation (NYSDOT) professionals have completed the study.
Based on the existing roadside development, crash analysis, test drives, and radar analysis,
our investigation determined that lowering the speed limit would not be appropriate at this time.
The 85th percentile speed on this section of Route 96 between Hayts Road and the Town of
Ulysses boundary line (CR 177) supports the current speed limit of 55 mph. This is the speed
that 85 percent of the drivers are traveling at or below. The 85th percentile speed is a direct
measure ofthe 'Influence of roadway geometry, development density and pedestrian activity on
driver behavior for a given location. The 85th percentile is the speed at which drivers will drive
under free -flowing conditions and is used to set the speed limit at a safe speed, minimizing
crashes, and promoting uniform traffic flow.
Based on the results of the study, NYSDOT will be implementing a number of warning sign
I
improvements along the Route 96 corridor, to enhance the overall safety for the traveling public
in this area. The sign improvements will be completed by our maintenance crews once the
materials are procured and the work scheduled.
Thank you for your interest in this matter. If you have any questions, please contact Scott
Bates at (315) 428-4380.

Dear Bel,lie Sherman H.O. Pre&iderat La,edl,ein,
As was previously discussed between Town. Engineler Dan Thacte and yourself, the Town desires
to provide water and sewer servicto property at 12 Worth Street. While the Town believed it
hid r the rights to proceed, and while it may actually have such rights, it was 'learned that a,
subidt''vi''sion map notes six inches of BOA lands. to the Sout'h of this existing easement area. The
Town has, concluded it would cost less, to obtain, an easement to cross six inches than to recreate
the entire title history and determine whether the easement has secondary rights that allow this
access,, or whether the subdivision map notation is actually accurate given that which was
approved. Re -opening the plat review seems an undesirable option.
,Assuming that a reasonable resolution is better than a long, drawn-OUt process with large potential,
costs, there are two basic, logical. ways to get such connections accomp li shed using underground
piping.- ( 1) cross six inches of HOA-owned land to the Town's reserved right - way and easement
to tap intxisting lines by either a mutually agreeable easement or eminent domain proceedings;
or (2) running such lines along the roadside and into the Worth Street intersection, thu,s going
through even more HOA-owned "land, and, acquiring same by, a mutually agreeable easement,
by emtnent domain, or by highway condem.nation to fully open the area near the private drive as,
public highway.
The simple fact is that thetown has declared the whole Town as a water and sewer improvement
area under Town Law Article 1,2-C, and thus, 'as the owner off` that land i's abenefiated, property
with reasonable access to ma�i , �ns and laterals, the town has some duty to get that owner connected.
The Town is, cognizant of relations with prior owners, but the problems, and costs, that will be

All the Town needs is a small easement in the location as shown on the submitte�d map, and a
resolution ofthe HOA authorizing an officer to sign the agreed -upon WForrn ofthe easement. The
Town is thus hopeful of'Ali scussing terms for tl e! easement,, and not debat,ing property, rights, of the

It i's hoped that we can reach an agreement, particularly given the ae minims nature of the
easement needed here.

Multiple studies have cited exposure to radlofrequency radiation from cell towers as a factor in th
collapse of bee colonies in recent years. (Acrylic Artist/Morguefile) i
I
Wh"ou can'trust Public News Service
I ............
A growing body of scientc studies showed electromagnetic fields from the extremely low frequencies
common to power lines and radio -frequency radiation, the kind from cell towers and mobile devices,,
may be harmful to wildlife as well as humans.
A three-part review (Part,,J, Part 2 and Part 3.) of the literature recommended the federal government
regulate electromagnetic radiation as pollution.
B. Blake Levitt, medical and science journalist, author of two books on electromagnetic fields and the
study's co-authorl, said RF radiation, even at low levels, caused harm in every animal model studied,
--t,specially bees and birds.
"They depend on the earth's natural magnetic f rie Ids for orien t�atir on., migration, food -finding abilities,
mating, nest and den building, territorial maintenance, and defense," Levitt outlined.
The telecom industry said its products and towers are safe and comply with all federal regulations for
human exposure. The study authors want government regulators to create exposure standards for
wildlife and plants., to designate the air as critical habitat, and then regulate electromagnetic radiation as
an energetic pollutant.
Dr, Albert Manville, adjunct professor at Johns Hopkins University, retired biologist with the U.S, Fish
and Wildlife Service and a c�o-author of the study, said industry profits should not override
environmental concerns.
"Yet the industry has proceeded, going ahead," Manville pointed out. "Now we have 5G rolling out in
massive quantities, withoUtr due gence to determine are these sources of radiation safe not only for
humans but for wildlife. And the answer Is, no, they are
Dr. Joel Moskowitz, director of the Center for Family and Community Health in the School of Pu-blic
Health at the University of California -Berkeley, said the problem is only going to grow.
"The industry is putting up something like 800,000 small cell sites around the country, roughly doubling
or tripling the current number of cell towers," Moskowitz explained. "Our ambient levels of exposure
are going to increase dramatically within the next few years."

Re: IPotential Tax Implications of Various Real Property Tax Exemptions
I have prepareld a�n analysis of the potential tax impact if the Town of Ithaca was to adopt various, reiT,
property tax exemptions, as requ�ested for possible consideration by the Town Board.
RPTL 7/45-— Increased ILow Income Senior (RPTL 467) and Low-Ilncom II isiability (459-c) Limits
Currently the Town of Ithaca offers the Low-Incomie Senior a�nd Low-Incom IIIisability
Exemptions at an inclme limit that is, $1,000 from the maximum. It has been at lea�st 15 years
since NI has authorized an increase in these limits. Exhibit A, shows the current income scales
for all taxing jurisdictions in the county,.
I have reviewed what would have been the effect if the Town of Ithaca would have had the
increiased scale in place for the 2021 Assessment IRoll (and the 2022 Town Taxes). If the Town
were to increase the Low -Income Disability Exemption lints, no change would oiccuir to the
current irecipients of this exemption as, aill currently receive a 50% exempt for Town purposes.
If the Town were to increase the Low -Income Senior IExemption limits,, the following changes
would occur.
New Effect on
Old Rate Exemption New Rate Rate, Increase Meldia�n House
General ILievy 2.063 146 $95818501 $ 2.064313 $ 01-001167 $01.28
Dart ''Town Highway
0.714238 $91 ,b ,
$1 0.714775
$ 0-000537
$01.13
Full Town Highway
0-381977 $9580850
$ 01.3821,93
$ 01.000216
$0.05
If the town were to have adopted the state maximum scale, 10 new individuals wuld have
received the Low-income Senior exemption and the additional tax burden to the median
assessed single family home in the Town IIthaca would be an additional $0.46.
RPTL 21-F — Capital Improvements to Residlentil al Property
This exemption allowsan 8-year phasing in of the increa�se in the assessment dIu�e to capital
irrrl r vemr ents that are made to a 1-2 farnily residence. The Cou�nty started to, differ this
exemption in November 20,19. It is one of the most underutilizeld exemptions that we offer. As

it currently stands, only 3 parcells in the Town of Ithaca are currently receiving this exemption.
The total taxable value redunction is $75,,000. This would have been a negligible effect on the tax,
base (these parcels would not be eligible for an exemption on Town taxes because these
projects, started before the Town would have, enacted this exemption but if they were in place,
the effect on the tax rate, would be negligible).
We do try to get property owners to, sign up for this program, but they do not a�lways take
advantage offt. If more property owners would sign u�p,, no tax base would be lost — the anew
taxable vial�ue due to the physical construction would just be delayeld in hitting the assessment
roll.,
RPTL 470 — Cure IRuildings Exemption
This exemption allows a reduction fir bu�ilIdIirings that meet a green building standardl the couraty
has, adopted ILEED as that standard). This provides for anywhere from a 7-year to a 1,01-yela�r
exemption based u�pon what level of LEER tlhat the home could achieve. There are currently 1,3
exemptions that the County offers for this exemption. All 13 ofthese projects are INHS projects.
The limiting factor is the LEED certification that is required to get the exemption. IMt people
do not pay to be certified by the Green Building Certification Institute. When Tompkins County
adopted this, they adopted a maximum exemption amount of $,1,01001. This was determined
by looking at the incremental cost of building a "'green"' house.
RPTL 485-,G — Infrastructure Exemption
This exemption allows for an exemption of the increase in va�lIu�e clue to a developer creating a
subdivision. This would allow for a 3-year exemption in that increased cost on each newly
created lot until it was sold. Creating a new subdivision has anincredible amount of upfront
costs which places the developer at a disadvantage. The County bias adopted th�is in 2017 and
we Ihave had no applications, for it., The Villiage of Dryclen has had this, exemption s,ince 2000 and
hays not had an application.
The effect of this, on the tax base would be to simply delay the new value added due to the
a�dIdIition of roads, electric, gas,, sewer, etc. This would allow the developer to not have, to pay
taxes on the lots that they are not immediately abile to sell.

Re: Ithaca Beer Company — Music Volume
Although I have lived at the above address for only two and
one-half years, I've surely noticed the loud music emanating
from the Ithaca Beer Company,, The noise level of the recordel
music is always an audible, aggravating, and unpleasant
intrusion in our homes and on our decks.
I would assume that there are ordinances to protect the "near-

Subject: Noise mit�igat�ion at Ithaca Beer
Thank you for recognizing and acknowledging my concept of hay bales as a form of sound mitigation at last night'sTown
Board meeting (6/13/22). With adequate amounts and careful placement, this solution could go a long way to
minimizing the horribly adverse effects that your concerts have inflicted on our neighborhood. I want to caution,
however,, that although not prohibitively expensive, this solution will not be simple, easy or cheap. However, this is
i simply a cost of doing business that any responsible business owner, such as yourself, would be willing to, and must
Pbsorb.
Since, as you acknowledged, this solution is my Vision,, I'm entitled to participate or, at least consult, in the design of any
such sound barriers. In particular, the stack of bales must be several (3 - 4) feet higher than the tallest performer. This
wall of bales must extend more than 10 feet laterally on each side beyond the performers and their equipment and mus)
similarly encompass and shield any and all remote speakers placed by the musicians. My, suspicion is that there will need
to be sorne sort of support structure anchoring and stabilizing the bales. Because the sound is reflected off the side of
your building, you will also need to position bales against the metal ng as sound absorbers. A stack of bales 3 or 4
feet high and 10 feet long, as was installed in earlier years and which we all know was miserably inadequate, won't
0
If, on the other hand, you were to consult an audio engibeer who would design an alternative solution that could
absolutely assure that the adverse effects can be f eliminated, I would certainly defer to their expertise. Nonetheless,
if you were to apply my standards as a starting point,, possibly with additional augmentation as needed, my suspicion is
that the significant adversity with which you have afflicted your neighbors might be substantially gated, until such
time as you permanently eliminate this pestilence.
I do want to acknowledge that the elimination of the annoying, daily recorded music noise is very welcome. Kudos go tt
'you and your staff for those actions you took.

Subiect;-, FW: Follow-up, to our conversation regarding low -altitude flying in Town of Ithaca
I am writing 'because somlethiing unexpected and scary happened yesterday evening. We were relaxing after dinnierwhen a
strang, sound began, to get louder and louder outside. The deck door was q en and it was a beauin tiful eveng, and the
P
sound was eerie and unt'amiliar. It, almost, sounded, like a plane, r a helicopter, but, it early wasn't. Itwas almost like a
freight train Isound coming from the sky. It was becoming louder and louder, and I'went out to the deck to see what it was.
Above me, it wasti.ke benig In the rnovie Independence Day. I could not beheve what Iwa's, seettig. About 1.0 to, 20
feet above rne, literally no greater than, that, was a massive, and I rune MASSIVE, hot air balloon. Directly over niy
head: the basket, the pelople,,the flames, the balloon. If it wasn't so hockl ing and, card, it would be almost comical, but at
the tirne it certainly was not. It is hard to describe how massive this thing was over my head at the time. Truly,, it was
shocking and traumatizing.
I stolod there for a few seconds in shock. All I could say was "holy and I a,re. The balloon rose a little lit,
the flames were oin, and barely sk.irnmed over the line of pine trees running along the electric lines at the side of the road,
Had it not risen that little bit, it would have gone straight into, the pinie trees.. went inside to get my onand managed to
get a short video and several Pictures, after it had crossed over the trees and the street. rr Icun still see ftorn. the pictures I
got that it was, incredibly low.
1. love hot air balloons, do not get me wro�ng. Or at least 1. used to, When I have seen themErom afar, they have
brought me joy, and I have even corut emPlate d going on a, balloon ride with my husband. Not anymore.
This is also not the first time one of'these bal.loons has, come very close, but th.i.s is, by far the closest it has come.
About 15 minutes later, in the distance, 1. saw the balloon gracefully flying a very safe height over Butte=flk Falls
(photo 4). it fookedlively„ But whit happen 15 minuties earfier wasmost certain.ly not safe rlovely. This was, a very
close call, way too close. I have not survived this long to, be taken out by a hot it balloon basket omy back, deck! It also
presents a fire hazard if it had crashed into the house or power lines. 1, and rny neighbors, have a right to basic safety in
our homes and yards. What can be done about this? Surely there must be a safer alternative than what is happening now.
What are the regu.lati.ons and qual.i.fications, to operate a business fi.ke this- in. what seems to be a rural. area, but is actually
Subufban. and more populated? What are the rules and regulations to making sure there is enough height when going over
a residential, area? One switch in, the wind, or one slightly different choice on the part f'the pilot, wouldhave had a, very
different outcome to what had already happened.
'What if I. was napping on the chaise lounge on the deck."? Imagine sleeping, and opening oncs' eyes to this massive
hot airballoon. 15 feet over your head. I am not sure how this will change me going forwa� rd, but 1. will certainly be
looking both. ways and 1.1stening very keenly whenever 1 go outsidle. Which. does not seem. ri.ght or fair to me.
Thank yofor reading. Sincerely,

From: Nick Goldsmith, Sustainabilia y Planner
Regarding: Local Law to Enable Community Choice Aggregation
The Town of Ithaca has considered the possibility of starting a Community Choice Aggregation (CCA)
program for several years,. Most recently, a Town committee has been collaborating with the City of
Ithaca, C'CA innovator Local Power, and Sustainable Tompkins to draft legislation that would mabil�e a
local CCA program. The Planning Committee has reviewed and discussed the CCA Local Law more than
once, and at its June 16, 2022 meeting., the Committee moved the legislation on to t�he Town Board for
consideration, factoring in review by Susan Brock.
The CCA Law would nabln innovative Iprogram designed to be an efficient a�n�d affordable way to
engage the entire local population in achleving time -critical loca�l and state goals for decarbonization and
e qity. Once the program is developed by the City and Town of Ithacia, other municipalitles in Tompkins ui I I
County and the region will be offered pla rtici patio n.

The Town will consider the local development and customer ownership opition�s, at a later date, while,

two-step process of receiving grid power first, before deciding on the development of locally -sited

On behalf of the 65 members of the Ithaca Professional Fire Fighters Association,, I
write tonight to alert you to a significant matter of'clo�nclern that potentially, impacts
d,ent of the y C't of Ithaca and its visitors.
every resi City I
For, the first time in my career, Ithaca Rrie Department's Engine 2 and its associated
i
personnel will not be in service this evenng. This action, ordered by the
Department 'is Command staff, creates an immediate vulnerability ire the East Hill
neighborhood and alters the, public safety framework and response, times, acroiss the
entire city.
This closure, stems from a series of factors which include departmental attrition, 24-
hour shift ceilings, uncertainties ofbeing out of clntract, an insufficient roster of
trained, eligible personnel, and an upturn, in Covi,d ca,ises throughout the community
impacting tire fighters and their familiesand has left tonight's shift shorthanded..
While three recruits are currently undergoing training at the fire academy will.
provide some measure of relief toward. the end, of this calendar year, we anticipate
tonight's disturbing circumstances to repeat themselves with alarming frequency,
resulting in increased risk to our community and members.
At this time,, our Union continues to work in good, faith with the City and, a, mediator,
to craft a mutually beneficial clllective bargaining agreement�. Since t�he contract's
expiration at the end of' December 2 02 1, and despite the uncertainty and associated
impact on morale, our members continue to honorits, terms and conditions. We
report for our scheduled. shifts and meet the terms ofhold-over status to the extent
permissible.
Last year, our, members responded to 4,804 emergency calls.'With five months
ne remaining in 2022,, ad assuming our service levls remain. constant, -we will be in
route tio an additional 2,100, incidentsbefore the year enJ1Y
ds.
Minutes matter in. these emergencies. When we are dispatched to a residence,
downtown business, college c�ampus, or the scene o�f an automobile accident, the
community relies, on Engine 2 and, our entire department to be prepared to meet the
challenge.
We ask you to consider this circumstance and a potential role you may be able to
play in remedying this significant problem. Please contact me directly to discus,s
this matter in greater detail. I can be contacted at: (607)351-0292, or

issue.

Dear Ms. Norman,
Congratulations, on your success with moving forward with the site renovation, public access, and new
pavition. project. .1 understand that the market is seeking a third phase of funding for the construction of
the watierfront improvements t�hat will ben.lefit the entire Ithaca community. 1. am writing this letter to
express my support for the project. The Farmer's, Market is a vibrant venue that attracts people of all. age
groups, and backgrounds, but its aging infrastructure needs renovation and revitalization, and in particular,
access improvements for those with. physical. impairments are acutely needed. This project will be
transfori-nsoya, and I wish You success in. seeking financial assistanc+ from the NY Department of State"s
Local 'Watierfrunt .Rev'ltal�izat'l'.on.Pr ogr,m.
The Ithaca, Farmers Market has become the "'place to be" on any given. Saturday or Sunday morning
during the market season and plans to develop all -season market spacewil.1 surely be greeted with
excitement by market patrons. It is not just a, place to shop for local produce and wares but is a, vibrant
venue that allows visitors to socialize, listen to live music, picnic, walk, or simply absorb the rich
qualities of the lakefront site. Peop, I le of all ages, ethnicilies, backgrounds, and cultures frequent the
farmers, market and help make it a unique and indispensable feature of the community.
For nearly fifty years, the fthaca,.Fa�n-ners Market has been. at the forefront of Upstate market development
and innovation. With this Prcject,,,the marketwill continue its leadership roleand provide an example that
other fan-niers" markets across the state can. emulate. 1. foresee that, the assistance provided by the state will
further invigorate the Ithaca Farmers Market, propelling 'it forward for years to come.
Over the decades, the Fari-n.ers.Market transforni.led Ithaca's historic steamboat landing located on the
south shore of Cayuga Lake into a thriving center of commerce and culture. The Town of Ithaca views
this as an important asset for our residents. On behathe Town Board, I support the proposed Ithaca
Farmers Market Waterfront Public Access.

The Cayuga Lake Watershed Intermunicipal Organization (CWI0)i brings watersheld municipalities together to
wolrk collaboratively on monitoring, prote�cting, and restoring the health of Cayuga Lake and its watershed.
,As of August 1, 20,22 CW110 has a Watershed Manager,, Erin Norrils, and we a�re incredibly grateful to have her
skills, and experience. She has begun the process of meeting with municipalities and key partners to explore
implementation of'action�s of the Cayuga Lake Restoration and Protection Plan�s, and the DEC's Harm�ful Algal
Bloom Action P'lan for Cayuga Lake. Your dues will provide liong-term funding for this Watershed Manager
position. Municipalities that have paidl their annual dues, are eligible to have acces,s, to project support from Erin.
Al'isio in 2022, the CW110 Technical Advisory Committ 'ee (TAC) was f orrined and they are working with Er,in not
only to move, the existing, list of municipal projects forward, but to, develop a plan to reach Out for more projeG;i
ideas. We are verypleased to see action on many of the projects on our, existing list with a number having
been awarded grant, funding in 2022. If your municipality has ideas or n.eye ects help identifying projects that are
protective of waters, please reach out to Erin Norris (N�ORR,IS,@hws.edu or 315-7811-4,384) and she will bring
them to the TAC for review.
Based on a recent survey of CW10 members and partnrs, the following areas hbeen identified as top
concerns for CWI O to focus on in the near future:
Agriculture Address actions that will help redlea ce, faerm runoff andI lediments from, reaching waterways.
Ditches Develop, best manalgernent practices for munic , ipa�l ditch systems, to mitilgatie, impacts from
a ,Sri culture, h,igh, stormwater eveints, and' salinization of the lakie. Consider how tiling
practices affect ditch water loads and how, to mitigate. Oiffer, training anid education on this
subject.
Land Use Work with municipalities to understand the link between alliowable liand uses and water
clontarnination. Develop, materials for municipalities suchas how, anwhy to, preserve
critical environmental areus, importance of pireserving farmlands and forests, wetlanids
protections, preserving vegetation a�long streams,, protecting steepslopies, IProvide training
and model poll icies/Ileg is, I atio n .
Drinking water Take actions to, protect both, s,urface and ground water including topics such as informati on,
on the impacts of clevell opment, recommerild protective measures, and best management
practices,, assist in plans that, outline protective measures, help, find funding for efforts that
protect drinking water, and provide model polices and regulations.
S,tormwater Increase awareness of impacts of improperly managed stormwater and promote blest
management practices. For example: explore disconnecting downspouts, sediment and
retention pionds, rain gardens, ditching practices, waters hied -wide stormwater miainagement
I
strategies, and, other measures that silows large stlormwater events.
Wetlands Provide outreach about the importance of preserving, wetlands, in relation to; floodling,
sedimentation, and water quality. Assist to map and inventory local wetlands to ble more
agate than state l and federal maps. Provide model polices/re�,gullations/pr,actiices to
improve protections of wetlands and riparian corriclors/buffers.
CWIO continues to work with our important paftners who understand the science behind cleian water. CWIO
members havel been meieting with Liz Krileitingerl the new Watershed Steward for the Cayuga Lake Watershied
Network, and Graiscen Shidernantle, the new Executive Director of the, Community Science Institute on these
and other threats to the watershed, as well as partners at the County Sioil and Walter Conservation District
Offices and County Planning Departments, and Health Departments.

CW'10 and its partners, to the east (owills sco) and west (Seneca), are workin�g on apal checklist of actiolnO
muIicipalities can take that are protectivie of water. It's exciting to see, thi's helpful tool moving forward. I
CW'10's Education, Public Participation, and Outreach Committele have spent 2022 on a new website for CWIO
which will contain information speccally for municipaes. Watch, foir the new site to be launched this fall at
http:,//www-.caY LJ g a w at e r sli le d . o r gl.i
These accomplishments are a direct resuillit of the growing support froirn municipaeshave Joined CM0
as voting municipalities by paying their annual CWIO clues. CWI0 hiloples your, municipality will ble a voting
municipality by paying your annual CW1O dues. Each governing entity thiat pays their annual cluies also
encouraged to appoint, a CWIO Representative and if they choose), an Alternate Representative, who can vote
on CW110 actions and act as a liaison between CW110 and the municipallity on issues, affecting water, quality. Per
CW'10 bylaws,, appointments for CW101 Representatives awltes do not have a term limit and will remain
in eff ect until CWIO is notified of'a change in representation. If you are new to CWIO or have changed your
municipal representative,, please notify CWIO Chair Liz, Thom�as of your CWIO Representative and Alternate
As, many of you knowi, the Community Science Insititutel (CSI) does, critical monitioring, of Cayuga Lake. Some
municipalities financiallly support CSI and it isvery implortanit to continue to do, so. Perhaps one day, the
municipal funding of CSI can come through CW1O, but the current duels struicture does not include f und',Ing f o
CSI. Please continue to support CS1 separately in their important monitoring worki. I
We, hope, your boards and councils understand the importance of the work CWI O does on behalf of protecting
waters within your municipality, and for the benefit of thie watershed as a whole. If you havie questions or
would like me oir Erin to attend a meeting to expilain more, please let me know.
Stronger together,

Re: Waterfront Parks and Recreafion, Facifit ies Request for 2023
Thank you for inviting Jim and me to the Town of Ithaca meet�ing on August 22, 2022, to discuss
the Waterfront Parks (Cass and Stewart) and Recreation Facilities at Cass Park.,fie are very
fortun�ate to have 2 spectacular waterfront parks that are open and accessible to the commu�nity.
Some towns, are not''fort"unatle enough to have a beautiful waterfront, or the waterfront" may not"
be aIccessible to everyone® Here in Ithaca the parks contribute in a major way to our quality of life
In almost everyone that lives or visits here uses one or the other, from time to time.
Cass Park, i's a ex with a RinkOlympic-sized swimming pool, �kidde pool, ten�nis
oddds, 2 playgrounds, a fitness trail,, the Cayuga Waterfront Trail, parking lots, to
accommodate 700 vehicles, boat storage rack �renitals, a natural growth area, picnic pavilion,,1 BBQ
pavilion�, Children's Garden, storage and maintenance build�ings.
Stewart Park is a 60 acre park with picnic areas, a large enclosed pavilion,, BBQ pavilion, a s,mal�ler
open pavilion, a carousell, an acciessible playground, lagoon areas, bird sanctuary, storage and
maintenance building, tennis courts, playing fields, ki� i�e water spray area, kayak/canoe launch
ancl storage racks, and serves as a venue for many community special events. It is also the home of
the historic Cascadilla Boat Housle, headquarters of the Cascadilla Boat Club.
Use of the parks has been strong for mans ,years, and we believe it" has, increased further during the
COI D pandernic. We've seen more people venture outdoors all year long for physical and mental
health. Our ice rink sal say ri weekend public secs loAna s in 20,20 and 202,1, were aft full to capacity.
Olur facilities and parks have become a respite for our residents, and we are able to maintain them ialll
year long despite the sh�utdowns, uring CID and currently with labor and supply shortages.
Enclosed please find the 2021 statics per our IOU. Please �note that we were operating under COVI�D
restrig ictip ons during this. season as well. It its 'i�rnportanit to note that th'i�s represents. the measurable
number of punt -wide, residents who, use our Cass Park facility only. While we currently do, not, track
the itesidency of the people who use Stewart Park and Cass Park trails, playgrounds, tennis courts,
an.d.fieldS. we believe the u.sage rates would, be very similar. City and. Town. residents are the largest
users of our waterfront parks and facilities. 'We encourage the Town of Ithaca tio'bring its"
contribution baick to $1001,000 for 2023.
As discussed at the meeting, a. more significant contribution. should come with. in.creased ben.efits for
'Town of Ithaca. residents and. we agree. In addition to crrently recieliving the same discounted daily
admission (rink and pool), season. pass fees anal scholarships that City residents receive, Town of
Ithaca, residents, would, also receive the sarne discounted program reg1strafion fees for non -RP
prograrns, and the same discounted, rates for pavilion, rentals and boat rack rentals as City of 111-laca,
residents. In. genera], City residents, receive a. 30% discount on. YB and. Cass Park services. An increase
in yur contri'bution. to thie requested lel wld reu.lt in. making the Town of Ithaca residents
eligible for the same discount as City residents.
We appreciate the on-goling contribution and partnership we have with the Town of Ithaca. We feel it
i's important to maintain our parks and facifi-ties for our resident's enjoyment, and well-being and hope
you,. agree. If you. have any questions, please don."t hesitate to contact me.

R e - 2,022 Legislative Updat�e
Whille not a highly active year at the state level in terms, of'real proplerty tax legislation,, the State
Legislature has passed some important liegislation that local municipalities/school districts should
consider. The process of delivering bills for the Governor"s, consideration is beyond comprehension so
not all bills have been delivereld/signed yet.
As, it currentlystands, #1 below is something that you could adopt immediately. However, if you wish to
provide, an exemption as outlined in #2, ui ust wait until the Mill is delivered to and signed by
Governor Hochul.
1. S30,85-A &, A3956-Increased Limits for Senior/Disab'iflfty IExemptions (signed into liaw 8/8)
The last time that NY'S allowed local taxing jurisdlitips to, increase the exemption scale was in
2007. This now provides for an increase in the scale from a low income of $29,0100 to $50,000 to
receive a 50% reduction on your property taxes. As a resu�lt of NYS tak,ing over the Enhanced
STAR qualification, I clon't have compliete information to detrmin how much a change might
affect the ovra II tax base.
Tompkins County will take up a resolution to increase the income limit for a 50% exemption to
$35,000 from $29,000. It is anti cipatedthat thiis change will shift about $5'in taxesto the
mia�n house. Your municipality/school district can choose any income limit that is appropriate
for your community. IPlepus e contact me if you have any qu�uestions or need some analysis
=0 M MM
Attached are the currnt scales, for all the taxing jurisdictions.
2. S.9131 & A'10155-A — Volunteer Firefil,ghter & Ambulance, Workers
There had been discussion in the county, about the need to ask the state for special legislation
that would aill lw your to pass an exemption for Volunteer Firefighter and Ambulance Workers
for Tompkins County's municipalities. However, I did a crazy thing and passed new
legisltion that combined the 22 different sections that offer this type of exemption into a single
statute that would be applied uniformly across NYS., This legislat�ion would allow for a 10%
reduction in assessed value for approved applicants. Tompkins, County would need to
determine a process of determining certification procedures for vollunteer firefighters. This
section gives, m Ipause as it cedes, my authority to grant, to exemptions to someone else but
with the assistance of DOER, hiopefully we can determine a process that is fair and equitable. in
a�d�dli'tioln, the exemption can differ the exemption for, the surviving spouse of either a volunteer
who died in the line of cluty, or a surviving spouse of a deceased volunteer

One Town isislue that conicierns us is the apparent plan to replace the street lighton the Byway that is very c�lose to our
housle ( ' aind on our �lot) with a much brighter LED light.
Very brilght lights at ni� ht interfierie with slelep and can have very bad h1ealth effeicts. When people try to reduce the
19
brightneiss, of LEDs,, they flicker, and that also has bad effects.

Sincle this, is a very old private mill roiald with very little traffic in the eviening, a brighter light is not needed. So, there is no
reason to, damage people's health to replace 'it with an LED. No need to spend town money either, since the existing,
decaldlies-loilid light post is rniorle than sufficient.
I read abollutylour environmiential interestsandthus voted for, you for, the Board. Also got good rec�s about you from our
friend anid, Ciorniell colleague Chris Way. I hope you can help us avoid the addition of the bright new light on the Byway,,
There is, rilogiolod reason (and a numbler of bad ones) for replialcingthie existing light.

My micithier and I would lilkle to meetwith you on The Byway in the afternoon sometime in the next few
diallysto disicuss,thle strieletlight, issule, 'We have had the opplortunity to comment 'in public works
clommittlee meetings,, but have, not had the chance to really talk withanyone on the town board about
'We �hialvie bielein following this issule since July, because streetlight replacement would dramatically lower
our quality of life by making it very hard to sleep at night. We have invested many hours in trying to
prevent this from hiappiening,,, which has itself been dlisrupt'JI'vie to our lives. We would like to move on to
other things.
I think thiat i'f you came to The Byway and saw in person how c1losle this streetlight is to our house, as
wilell as h1o1w little traffic Pialssiels unclier it (land this would �ble during thie dallt night,, traffic on The, Byway
is almlost inionlexistent), it woulid �ble clear that there would be no iaid'viantage to making it brighter. There
ils �nio cri , me, and there has never been a traffic accident, on our streetin'the thirty years we've lived here.
I
I unicliersta-Mir wn board woluld like to establish a prociess forhandling requests to add or
remilovie streetlights,, and why that could take some time. But, all we areasking is to retain the existing
strileetlight, wellwitIl our propert,
y lines, on a private rioad that seles almost no through traffic, We are
niot trying to change anything, only preserve the status quo. A new, brighter streetlight might make
0
siense for a busy intersection in a commercial area where traffic is heavy well into the night. The Byway
is the exialct op osite of Suich a lioiciatilon- it is one of the [olwileist traff �iic roads in the town of Ithaca.
P 0
We would also like to point out the existence of another poleo #Jr7-1,fairthier up the street, closer to t�he
mailboxies and intiersielctillon with F r orest Home Dr. Therie is current'lly no stirleetlight on that pole., If
anylonle on The Byway wants �morle lighting at night (we have never heard anyone say this), thatis the
liogicial place to put it. I think that sell the relative lioications, of the two �poles (#17-2 in our yard and
19
#17-1 cliosie to where most velihiclies park and turn around) in plerison would demonstrate this. Making
l hiousle and 'yard even brilghtler at night would help no one.
I hope you can understand our position,, This issue has been a source of concern for us for almost four,
mionths, We can't ignore it while it is unresolved beicausle thierie is the potential for our lives to made
mulch worse., But, we woulid very much like to see our stirieletlight removed from the replacement fist so
we dion't have to willorry about it any longer and can free �up time for other interests.

My niame lis Zian Glerrity. I �livie at'1015 Regency lane. In January In e,, my �piartner of 35 yrs, died after a long debilitating
19
illness., I was h1eir ciarie giver.
Ini aill i years togethier I paid the bills . 'We owned the property together and upon her death I assumed right of
survilvorshi'(p of 105. In Octiober I received the ICSD tax bill as allways, expectingto see a slight increase with our
contibuield STARexemptiloin, However I siaw -a 2x, + bill of $3500. To say the �least I was aghast. I went directly to the
asses'smien't office thinking it 'was a mistake. As usual they were extremely helpful but said even though my name was
on thile tiaix bills. Inge was the enhanced STAR exemption and not me
AND it, wias'TGO LATE to complietle the SchloolAND county tax forms for me too qualify. There would be no exemption
thiis, year. As a retiriele on Social Security I WOULD (based on 2021 NY's tia'XII) quialify NEXT YEAR for both. They helped me
complete ain emergency STAR form for the school tax. However this year I am,going to be paying the full amount.
Somiel hilow, this sielems unfair. Wie have livii in the Tompkins Colunty for lovier 210 years In'1996 we built, a solar.. eco
frII endly, farm in Caroline, with sheep and gaveenvironmental tiours to k, ir ds through ICSD and adult�s.
We, molvied tio Eastern Heights in 2012 as Inge aged. I notified the Town of Ithaca of Inge's death but was not notified
that I itieliapply for the stiar.
I believe in, thie Town of Ithaca and thie caring,, progressive approalchies it takies through its dedicated workers & our town
biolaIrd., But I believe circumstances in theyli of a spiouse$, s

'The Governor's 51-1year Capital Program continues the BRIDGE NY Program at an increased
funding level of $200M pier year. This letter announces theavailability of funding and makes
you aware of key aspects of the Bridge NY program.
The New York State Department of Transportation (NYSDOT) 'is implementing the Bridge NY
Pro ram through the existing capital program 9 plannin, rocess, not the statewide solicitation 9 p
used in recen't y1ears. This approach will continue 'to use many, but not all, of the elements of
thie prior BRIDGE NY Frogram process.
e Eligibl; sponsors rema*nthe same and include any city,county, town,, village or other
political: subidiv"I'Silon, including tribal nations/governments, authorized to receive and administer
State, and Federal Transportation funding. The program remainsintended to focus on locally
owned structures,
Eligible proilects clontinue to include bridges anid cullverts on public highways carrying
viehilcullar traffic, with bridigies to follow the Federad process and culverts following the State -
aid process,. Funding continues to be split within four gieneral areas of the state including
Upstate,, Hudson'Vialleiyl �Liong Island and New York City (NYC).
NYSDOT anticipates three quarters of annual funding levels ($15OM/year) will be allocated
I
to br'clgesl, anid the balanice ($50M/year�) to culverts. Th'is �round of BRIDGE NY willinitiate
projects for two and a half years of the 5-years ofavailable funding for the Upstate and Hudson
Vallely areas. In these two areas, bridge funding levels will be set for each county based on the
extient, and condition of local bridgesin each county. Bridge funding levels for the NYC and
Lionig Isliand areas will be allocated by NYSDOT Region, 'with project selections to begin for the
fulil 5-years of availiable funding. Bridge funding for BRIDGE NY will rely largely on the federal
Bridge, Formula Program. This funding source has a significant requirement to fund 'Off-Systerx
Bridges', or bridigies that carry highways that are not on the federal aid system, It is anticipated
that nearly two thirds of the selected Upstate and Hudson Valley projects will be required to be
sluch structures. Theref6re,0SB-eligible bridges 'will be prioritized in the selection process.
'T o: and a half years of culvert funding levels Will �be stmilarly allocated by NYSDOT Regions
acrassthe statiel, with funiding based on a combination ofthe past rounds of culvert applications
and thie: extent and condition of local bridges in each Region.
Given the timing of the BRIDGE NY funding, existinig prpJects that are already in progress
*11 w also be �pr oritized.

F Subjea: Modifications to Inlet Valley Way / Caulkins Road Intersection,
AftacKments: Inlet Valley Subdivision Fin�al Plat Map August 1990.pdf
I was told you were the person in charge of road maintenance for Inlet Valley Way and I ireaching out to, discuss
recent complaint that was filed with the Town of Ithaca. The complaint that was filed was from a resident that has
experienced traffic not yielding the right, of way as they traversed Caul ins Road and entered the curve near the
intersection ofInlet Valley Way going toward I Route 13. The Town of Ithaca Rublic'Works Department reviewed the
situation and realized that, over time, it a�ppears that the intersection has been widened and may have lost some ability
to "communicate" that Caulkins, Road is the main road and Inlet Valley Way acts, in essence, as a drivelwa�y. To field the
Reconfigure where Inlet Valley Way enters, Caulkins IRoad with taking a small triangle piece of asphalt out. We
plan on maintaining a 20' width tothe private drive asppecified in the original subdivision pliam. Staff from the
Department of Public Works has marked this area out with white paint for what we fell will be effective in
defining the private road but also make drivers away that they are turning off the main road (Caulkins Road) to a
secondary road.,
Replace the existing IManual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices (IMIUTCD) specified, W11 signs (90-degriee
bend) with signs that incorporate that there is a private drive entering at the curve., This sign is called out in the
�MUTCD as a Wl-10 sign, (90--delgree bend with a spur off the curve portion). The, existing signs acre located on
the sides of the curve on Caul�kins, Road.
Include MUTCD! specified Chevron signs, on the west sidle of the road to indicate to driver that Caulkins Road is
the ma�in road and that they are out to enter a curve,. We fell this would more define the main route of travel.
Install some centerline striping on the curve, with a break in the, striping, to show drivers that they are crossing a
la ne of traffic to, enter (Inlet Va I ley Way.,
Amend a local llaw, through the Town of Ithaca Town Board, to add a stop sign where Inlet Valley Way intersects
with Caulkins Road
Communication with you, as a member of the homeowner"s association, to let you know of the filed defect and
that the Town will be making Improvements to the lint erseiction as a safety mitigation effort.
I appreciate you taking the, time to read this, and I hope that you can forward this information to the Inlet Valley Ways
Hiomelowniers Association. If there is another way that I can communicate this to the additional residents, please let me
Know. Also, if there are any questions or conclerns, relative to what I have identified above please feel free t irespond to
this email or call me at the number listed belIow'.
