 Mr. Potter provided a presentation of the proposed collaboration between the City of Ithaca and the County relating to the City's GIS information.  Mr. Potter indicated that subsequent to discussions with the City's information technology personnel it was apparent that the work required to be completed by the City paralleled work that had already been completed by the County.  Following discussions with the County Administrator, City of Ithaca Mayor Peterson, and the appropriate information technology directors, it was though a collaborative effort between the City and County to utilize the Tompkins County deployment-resources and code base in a manner to share the information to both City and County users via internet.  This project will be for a one-year trial basis as outlined in a Memorandum of Understanding.  Mr. Potter indicated that his department has the $5,000 funding to assist in this project and that his department will assure the information provided will parallel the Tompkins County policies related to privacy of individual homeowners. The City will provide a matching fund and it was noted that any requested enhancements above the total $10,000 would be paid for by the City.  No action by the Legislature would be necessary for this project.

It was MOVED by Mr. Lane, seconded by Ms. Schuler to recommend approval of the following resolution to the full Legislature.  It was noted the equipment being purchased was used with less than 500 hours on it.  An extended warranty was purchased.  Members asked if rental of equipment would be a more financially suitable choice and was informed that an excavator would be utilized year-round by the Highway Division so it was not suitable to consider rental.  A voice vote on the motion resulted as follows:  Ayes - 4; Noes - 0; Excused - 1 (Legislator Kiefer).  MOTION CARRIED.

SEQR TYPE:  TYPE II-20

Mr. Lampman provided members with a short computerized presentation of the Highway Division Website, noting the ability to review upcoming road and bridge projects.  The Committee was able to see that mapping for the bridges was available for review as well as a brief description of the work to be completed.  Suggestions for the web pages included the following:

· Noting emergency or scheduled closing of roads and/or bridges
· Clearly stating when public information meetings would be held for the public
· Providing historical records of bridges and areas when possible
· Linking project information to GIS mapping services
· Noting ownership of bridges in relation to ownership of roadways

10)  Filling of New Highway Positions - Status Report

Mr. Marx reported that at this time advertisements have been placed in the Ithaca Journal first, followed by other venues for the positions approved in the 2005 budget.  He indicated that in an effort to have the crew ready for the spring work schedule it is possible that personnel with experience may be hired.  It is anticipated that the positions will be filled by March 2005.  A brief discussion related to hiring of trainees was discussed and it was pointed out that a program would have to be outlined that would thoroughly cover all aspects of the training process.  Ms. Fitzpatrick noted that some training programs extend for an eighteen-month period.  Members were informed that the individuals hired may be put on several different crews depending on experience.

11) Position Request - Solid Waste - Recycling Specialist

Ms. Eckstrom, Solid Waste Director, spoke of the need to fill the position of Recycling Specialist due to the resignation of the present employee Keith Kreider is relocating to California.  She noted that while the position itself is not specifically mandated, many of the duties are.  This position is funded through the existing 2005 budget.  Ms. Kiefer praised Mr. Kreider's work with Household Hazardous Waste collection.

It was MOVED by Ms. Schuler, seconded by Ms. Kiefer, and unanimously approved by voice vote of members present to approve the position request.  MOTION CARRIED.

12)  Approval to Seek Request for Proposals - Airport

 Mr. Nicholas explained the request for proposals (RFP) would be for the gift shop operation and parking operations as these contracts will be expiring in the near future.  Mr. Lane noted he had believed the purpose of the one-year contract was done to determine whether operations should continue as they presently are due to the concerns being experienced at the airport.  He said it is difficult to vote to continue these services not knowing the level of subsidy that may be required for the gift shop; as well as being difficult for the responder to the RFP.  Mr. Nicholas stated he would like approval to send out the RFP at the appropriate time, which he believes would be within the next several months.  He stated that if necessary, he thought the present contractual agreements could be extended for a brief period.  Mr. Marx said that the Air Service Task Force is providing input in the matter as well, that he believes it is important to be able to move ahead with the RFP in an expedient manner at the right time.    Mr. Penniman said he believed the RFP should include language that would indicate that the operations of the gift shop and parking services would be run in an efficient manner at all times and how one can gauge what the "best bid" would be.  Ms. Kiefer requested that the Committee receive an updated report that would provide useful information on each services function and expense over the past period.  Mr. Nicholas noted that although it has been better over the past several months there still has not shown a profit.  He believes that as the airport situation changes so will the profits for the services.

 Members of the Committee recalled the difficulty in receiving approval for airport services in the past and felt that it was crucial to have information on the past year's performance prior to making a decision regarding the RFP.  The items were removed from the agenda at this time.  It will be placed on the agenda of the next regular meeting.

13)  Proposed Contractual Arrangement - Airport Marketing

 Members of the Committee were informed the proposal would provide marketing services for the airport that would be designed to increase enplanements.  This proposal would include a complete marketing plan and would encourage use of the local airport.  Members discussed their belief it should be performance-based, with stipulations that would clearly indicate the increase in enplanements and success of the airport is based on the marketing efforts rather than a particular airline's operation.  Mr. Marx agreed.  At this time there is no estimate of the possible cost for this proposal.

14) 2004 Goals

Members reviewed the 2004 Goals, making minor revisions.  A final copy of the 2004 goals will be provided at a future meeting.

15) 2005 Goals

Members of the Committee were asked to provide Ms. Nelson with their recommendations/suggestions for inclusion at a future meeting.

16)  Drug and Alcohol Testing Update

 Ms. Nelson provided information that New York State contracts now has a vendor that would provide the necessary services for the County.  The present contract holder has granted the County a three-month extension to provide the County an opportunity to review all information before making a determination.

17)  Capital Payment Summary
 Members reviewed the information provided.

18) Resolutions - Highway Department

Mr. Lampman notified the Committee that due to decisions made at the State level some of the anticipated funding for the design phase of these six projects had changed.  He noted the anticipated reduction in Marchiselli funding is being seen at this time; some of the projects have received the fifteen percent, while others have seen a reduction or in one case the payment made exceeded the original design work.  Mr. Lampman said that while not all projects had a commitment for Marchiselli funding the MPO felt a special request for TIP funding could be obtained.  A discussion regarding the different funding levels occurred during which it was noted that discussions with Steve Vettr of New York State Department of Transportation will take place to determine the best manner in which to regain the lost funding.

It was MOVED by Mr. Lane, seconded by Mr. Todd, and unanimously adopted by voice vote, to approve the following resolutions.  Ms. Kiefer expressed concern of delays in completion of projects if road conditions deteriorate to the point of being "red-flagged."  It was noted that in this event the County would be responsible for the required work.
