Supervisor Ulatowski then addressed Dave Arnold to explain that he had researched his inquiry regarding the oil spill on Maider Road and that he had a copy of the report for Mr. Arnold.

NO LEFT TURN FROM BELMORE DRIVE AS IT INTERSECTS WITH JOSEPHINE

STREET AND NO RIGHT TURN OFF CHESTNUT STREET AS IT INTERSECTS

WITH JOSEPHINE STREET and the installation of the necessary signs therefore was opened by the Supervisor. Proof of publication and posting was furnished by the Town Clerk.

Christine Rugelis of 109 Josephine Street began by explaining that she is requesting reduced access on Josephine Street due to excessive traffic and speeding. She continued that Josephine Street is used as a cut through and feels that by prohibiting right turns from Chestnut Street onto Josephine Street as well as prohibiting left turns onto Josephine Street from Belmore Drive traffic would be greatly reduced. Ms. Rugelis suggested changing the traffic pattern to that of a one way street.

Supervisor Ulatowski explained that the Village of North Syracuse Department of Transportation would need to be involved since one of the streets is within the Village limits. He added that the County Department of Transportation would also have input.

Ms. Rugelis added that there is no police presence. Supervisor Ulatowski said that he will look into that and see if the police can monitor Josephine Street, with hopes of reducing the speeding traffic.

Mr. Livignale of 108 Josephine Street said that while he is in agreement that people use this for a cut through and speeding is a problem that a one way street will not solve the problem of not enough police presence.

Pastor David Dyke of the Community Church of the Nazarene located at 118 Josephine Street said that the proposed traffic change would poorly impact the church traffic flow.

Jennifer Wild of 115 Josephine Street agreed that there is a problem with speeding on the street and to further complicate matters there are children that play in the street and a curve in the road. She suggested reducing the speed limit and asked if the Board had any other suggestions for this problem.

Supervisor Ulatowski reiterated that all three agencies would have input into this decision and thanked the residents for bringing this to the attention of the Town Board.

4 Budget (PH) - SPECIAL DISTRICT BUDGET FOR THE TOWN OF CLAY FOR THE YEAR 2011:

A public hearing to consider the adoption of the proposed 2011 SPECIAL DISTRICTS BUDGET for the TOWN OF CLAY was opened by the Supervisor. Proof of publication and posting was furnished by the Town Clerk.

John Shehadi, Comptroller for the Town explained that the Special District Budget encompasses sewer, drainage, water, lighting and trash. The sewer portion refers to the consolidated repair fund and there is a $4.00 increase over last year's $20.00 charge. There is no increase in the cost for drainage. Mr. Shehadi continued that the current trash contract will expire at the end of the year and that the new contract will begin January 1, 2011. There will be an increase of approximately $7.00 for most of the trash districts with the exception of district 5 that will have a $4.00 increase.

Mr. Arnold again brought up the bid from the previous meeting and asked why the bidder was not awarded the contract. He also inquired about an escape clause. Mr. DeTota stated that there is an escape clause. Both Councilor Bick and Councilor Johnson explained that there are other factors that impacted the decision to award the bid to the 'lowest RESPONSIBLE bidder' including qualifications and legal issues. Councilor Johnson concluded that the bidder in question did not have a complete application.

Harold Baker said that he has been very satisfied with the collection of the trash under the current contract and hopes that the new haulers will do as well. Councilor Edick agreed adding that the Town of Clay pioneered trash districts and that the level of service we receive is a direct result of responsible decision making. He stated that before trash districts were established, each homeowner contracted for their own hauler. The installation of the districts greatly reduced the cost to the homeowners and consolidated the collection day.

Barbara Coro of Horseshoe Island asked about the development of 89 acres that were recently sold. She indicated her concern regarding the development with respect to the sewers. Ms. Coro stated that she was concerned that the existing sewers would not be able to accommodate an additional 89 units. Mr. DeTota said that the developer would not be able to build 89 homes on 89 acres because the system in place is limited.

Budget (PH) - FIRE BUDGET FOR THE TOWN OF CLAY FOR THE YEAR 2011:

A public hearing to consider the adoption of the proposed 2011 Fire Budget for the Town of Clay was opened by the Supervisor. Proof of publication and posting was furnished by the Town Clerk.

Supervisor Ulatowski began by acknowledging the representatives from the various fire departments present and the hard work that they have all done to keep the budgets flat. He continued by saying that the Caughdenoy, Moyers Corners, Brewerton and Clay have all submitted a 0% increase for their budgets. Clay Fire Department hand deliverd a letter to the Supervisor earlier in the day outlining the budget that they are submitting and the work that they have done to keep it where it is.

Councilor Edick said that he had contacted the fire departments on short notice to ask them to trim back thier budgets. He thanked them and also commended them for their high level of service to the residents of the town.

John Shehadi explained that there are still some minor adjustments to be made to the North Syracuse Fire Department budget, in addition, the town must conduct an audit of the LOSAP (Length of Service Awards Program) as required by the State. Mr. Shehadi continued, stating that the LOSAP is a modest retirement that is awarded to volunteer fire fighters and that the audit is a new requirement.

Mr. Shehadi concluded by stating that the tax increase for fire protection will go from $21.88 per $1000.00 to $21.93 per $1000.00.

Budget (PH) - UNIFORM WATER BUDGET FOR THE TOWN OF CLAY FOR THE YEAR 2011:

A public hearing to consider the adoption of the proposed 2011 UNIFORM WATER BUDGET for the TOWN OF CLAY was opened by the Supervisor. Proof of publication and posting was furnished by the Town Clerk.

John Shehadi began by stating that the OCWA (Onondaga County Water Authority) is raising their rates by 9% next year and that only 1/3 of the town is serviced by them.

Budget (PH) - PRELIMINARY BUDGET FOR THE TOWN OF CLAY FOR THE YEAR 2011:

A public hearing to consider the adoption of the proposed 2011 PRELIMINARY BUDGET for the TOWN OF CLAY, as the ANNUAL BUDGET was opened by the Supervisor. Proof of publication and posting was furnished by the Town Clerk.

6 The Supervisor continued by stating that the Town of Clay is the fourth least expensive town in the county and the seventeenth largest town in the state, larger than the cities of Utica, Binghamton, Schenectady and Niagara Falls.

Supervisor Ulatowski displayed a chart of the Tax Breakdown by Percentage showing that the largest percent of the taxes, 60%, go to the School District with the second largest amount 13.2% going to the County, in addition 8.7% goes to the County Sanitation. The remaining 17.9% is divided between Trash and Brush, Town Highway, Fire Protection, Town Administrative, NOPL Library, Lighting, Consolidated Drainage, Consolidated Sewer and County/Town Water. A resident from Black Brant Drive asked why they were complaining here. Councilor Edick agreed adding that because people come to the Town to pay the taxes (including school) they are under the impression that all of the money is used by the town for services. He continued by adding that the 12% decrease in the amount that the Town is paying for non-represented employees health insurance is significant without compromising the coverage that they receive adding that if the represented employees would consider it the Town would save much more. Councilor Edick pointed out that locally and nationally, school district bargaining units are agreeing to no wage increase in effort to keep people working.

Councilor Bray added that she wished to thank the retirees that agreed to try a different but comparable plan, saving the town 141,000.00.

Linda Caiella, resident, stated that she wished to personally thank the Town Board for the hard work that they have done to propose a budget with the lack of money available.

Many of the residents in attendance applauded.

Ron Furentino inquired about what concessions that the Union was making. The Supervisor stated none. Mr. Furentino asked what the next step with the contact is and the Supervisor said arbitration.

There was a discussion about winter road maintenance. Councilor Johnson suggested oil and stone for the parking lots at the parks instead of asphalt to reduce the cost.

Tim Ryan asked about the possibility of sharing plowing with the school districts. Supervisor Ulatowski said that the Comptroller will look into that.

Russ Mitchell said that it is a responsible budget and suggested that perhaps a part time employee could be hired for the Justice Court for uncollected revenue. Mr. Mitchell said that people do not understand the tax bills and added that residents receive a lot of services for the small potion that the town gets. He said that he will be sorry to see Syracuse Haulers go and hopes that the new company will do as well. Mr. Mitchell said that the town has done a great job. Supervisor Ulatowski thanked him.

Dave Buonagurio asked why the Highway Department pays outside vendors to fix the equipment when town mechanics can handle the small jobs. Councilor Weaver said that the Highway Department only sends out specialized work. Mr.

7 Buonagurio said that simple work such as clutch repair is being sent out. Supervisor Ulatowski said that he would research this.

Supervisor Ulatowski asked if there were any further comments or questions and there were none. All persons wishing to be heard having been heard the hearing was closed.

Hal Romans, surveyor for the applicant presented. Mr. Romans began by explaining that since the last hearing they have modified the plan slightly, however it is still conceptual. He further explained that the new plan moves the northerly unit(s) further south to improve storm water and give greater separation between the units and the rear property line.

Supervisor Ulatowski asked if there are still to be six curb cuts, reminding that they had discussed a common drive and was that still a consideration. Mr. Romans said

REGULAR MEETING OF THE TOWN BOARD - NOVEMBER 1, 2010

Town of Clay

8 that it was still a possibility and that the applicant was working with the County Department of Transportation.

Councilor Edick asked if the garages will accommodate one or two cars. Mr. Romans stated that they are all two car garages. Councilor Edick continued adding that there are 51 driveways between Taft and Bear Roads and that the number of proposed cuts will work. He further stated that the more curb cuts slow down traffic.

Councilor Johnson asked if it was still possible to link all six driveways. Mr. Romans suggested that emergency vehicles may have difficulty with all of the driveways being linked and did not want to see a safety issue or problems with plowing and maintenance. Councilor Johnson continued that he had concerns with the existing curve in the road as well and the eventual development across the road that the applicant owns.

Denise Murray of Waxwood Circle asked how many buildings and Mr. Romans responded that the applicant is proposing 3 two-unit buildings, each unit being 2000 square feet. Mr. Romans urged the Board and the residents not to look at the curb cuts until the plan is no longer conceptual, adding that the applicant must still go before the Planning Board (where the curb cuts will be addressed) if the zone change is granted.

Linda Caiella said that Gary (Hafner) should be allowed to develop but still has concerns regarding the traffic.

Dave Arnold said that all of those concerns can be addressed at the Planning Board during the SEQR process. He added that he was concerned for the safety of future residents because for the last 75 years the land has been farmed and sprayed.

Councilor Rycraft asked why the applicant didn’t try for a Zone Change to O-1 after the first request, adding that the O-1 would limit the number of cars and the uses. Councilor Bray asked if the applicant would need to obtain a Zone Change to develop the land across the street. Mr. Romans said that they will not.

Supervisor Ulatowski asked if there were any further comments or questions and there were none. All persons wishing to be heard having been heard the hearing was closed.
