by Carol Schmitt
occasional Acting Secretary the
first couple of years, and became
Secretary in 1992. I originally
typed up minutes on our old Mac
and printed them out for our
members, and sent in all meeting
notices to the local media by
postcard! Ron officially became
Treasurer and acquired a Tax I.D.
number for the organization, and
chaired a few meetings until Mark
Goldfarb was elected President.
Ron set us up as an official not
for profit 501(c) (6) business
league with the IRS. More
recently he also negotiated an
arrangement with our local Home
Depot in which we receive gift
cards based on member
purchases, and many lucky
meeting attendees are benefitting
with winning raffle tickets. We
also have substantial support
from the many other local
businesses that are our Sponsors.
From the very first years, the
LATC has continually made
charitable donations to dozens of
local housing-related causes, one
way that we try to give back to
our community.
At our second annual meeting the
idea of a Code of Ethics was
introduced and created by Tim
Terpening, which is a vital
requirement of membership and
has now been adopted by a
number of other landlord
organizations. Board meetings
were deemed necessary and we
began to hold Executive
Meetings at the old Manos
Restaurant. Officers and
Directors meet monthly to
oversee the myriad parts of our
now large organization, which is
still growing exponentially. We

The LATC Code of Ethics is an integral part of our organization. Our core values and expectations have
changed very little over the years and serve as a testament to the solid foundation this group was built on
25 years ago.

A Note
From the
Founding LATC President
The reason Pat and I re-started
the then called "landlord assoc"
25 years ago is because the City
of Ithaca wanted to start rent
control.
We got a handfull of landlords
together that were in the old
defunct landlord assoc. and
fought against it and won. We
had election of officers and set
up yearly dues in case we
needed money to fight other
ridiculous things that the City of
Ithaca wanted us to do.
We used to meet at the
Chamber of Commerce
building but our membership
increased and we out grew the
space that was provided to us.
The LATC has helped a lot of
landlords in Tompkins County
and we are proud that we were a
part of it.
