Review
of Maps – Dan Dineen distributed a more detailed map and
a list of properties/property owners affected. The Committee identified the area of first priority as the
City of Cortland streets, Samson Street, Willow Avenue, North Main Street,
Euclid Avenue & Brown Avenue. Chris
Bisocchi advised the Committee that the City received federal funds to replace
the culvert at the Creek on North Main Street.
Carol Tytler felt that the Committee is at the point of making
decisions of the target areas and that through the efforts of Dan Dineen,
Amanda Barber & Bernie Thoma a grant proposal could be initiated upon the
approval of the Cortland County Legislative Agriculture, Planning,
Environmental Committee and full County Legislature.
Dan Dineen will provide detailed maps of the Perplexity Creek area in
the City at the next meeting and the Committee may decide to make this area
the 2nd priority. Carol
Tytler suggested that Don Spaulding, Shannon Terwillegar and Sean Clark be
contacted since they also represent those areas affected.
Kennedy Parkway Area - Chris
Bistocchi advised the Committee that due to an Infiltration Study done in the
Kennedy Parkway area of the City, it has been mandated that the catch basins
be replaced and the City has 6 weeks to put together a schedule to have the
work completed by 2008. The City
will be bonding through the Waste Water Treatment Plant. This will only cover slip lining of pipes, storm basins and
manhole issues. Due to the income
factor for the Community Block Grant applications, the Kennedy
Parkway/Morningside Drive area does not meet the criteria.
Affected
Areas Outside the City – Members
of the Committee identified McGraw, Cincinnatus, Marathon and Truxton as problem
areas outside the City.
The
income level in these areas may be above the required household income
cut-off. A survey would have to
be conducted to determine area eligibility.
Carol Tytler thought that maybe college students could assist in doing
a survey in the area the Sub-Committee targets.
Plan of Action – Carol
Tytler will contact Bernie Thoma and the college regarding the necessary
surveys that need to be completed. Carol
will also contact Danny Ross about a survey in the Village of McGraw.
Carol Tytler asked Dan Dineen to provide maps for Cincinnatus, Marathon,
Truxton & McGraw at the next Sub-Committee meeting.
Val VanGorder and Susan Feiszli will contact residents in their prospective
city wards and also talk to their Legislative counterparts, John Troy &
Don Spaulding.
