I•i2yor Ryan called the 1959 Council to order and, there being no unfinished business left to transact, he presented the following prepared statement: "I am very happy to have the opportunity to make a final statement at this Common Council meeting. First of all I would like to thank the people of Ithaca for having had the privilege of serving them in the capacity of Mayor. I learned how the City government is operated. It has been a real education to me and something I have to be thankful for. I feel I have been Mayor of one of the nicest small cities in this area. This is a great city made that way by its citizens and educational institutions. I would like to let the people of Ithaca know that the running of the City govern- ment is in good hands as far as paid employees are concerned. In my opinion all department heads do their job very well. Mr. Blean, the City Clerk, worked very closely with me the past four years and I certainly appreciate the help he gave me, expecially at the beginning of my first term. George knows his job and he works hard at it. The taxpayers are fortunate to have such a conscientious and capable City Clerk. The Council, however, should help to relieve the burden placed on him by creating the position of Comptroller as soon as possible. Another excellent paid employee who is always thinking about the taxpayer is Er. Frank Laverty, the Superintendent of Public Norks. Mr. Laverty has been a wonder- ful adviser to me on all matters concerning Public Works.. I wish to express mar deep appreciation for all the help and advice Frank gave me during the past four years. I am sure that everyone will agree with me when I say that Jim Clynes has done an excellent job as City Attorney. During the past 3 years he has had many city legax problems but he always managed to handle everything with very little delay and in a very competent manner. Leon Cass, the City Engineer, also does a wonderful job for the City and I an in- debted to him for the advice and help he has given me. I can assure the taxpayers that other department heads also do their job well. These include Charles Rich, Assistant Superintendent of Public Works; Paul Fidler, Maintenance Foreman; Chief of Police VanOstrand; Fire Chief Weaver; Adeline Sharrr, City Chamberlain; Edward Dixon, City Assessor; Arthur Golder, Building Commissioner; Planning Director Philip Wallick; City Judge Edward Casey and Deputy City Clerk $arber. I might add here that in observing the employees in the various City departments during the past four years I can say that the majority of them are conscientious and '.�yal employees. The members of the press and radio have always been very fair and have given an excellent coverage of all City Hall events. These people include Elizabeth Rogers, Randy Shew, Donald Greet and Harold Jansen, all from the Ithaca Journal, Eleanor Billmyer from the Post Standard, Charlie Chatfield and Sam I-loodside from W.H.C.U., Joel Fleming from W.T..K.O. and others. In closing I would like to thank my good friend Jim Clynes, the City Attorney and all the members of the past and present Common Council and Board of Public Works for the fine cooperation of the past four years. The citizens of Ithaca can be Proud of their Aldermen and Public Works Commissioners who are willing to donate so much of their time to the City without receiving any salary for it. - 2 - January 1, 1960 The volunteer firemen are another group who have saved the taxpayers a tremendous amount of money for years and I expect they will continue to do so regardless of pressures from outside interests to have this City revert to a paid fire depart- ment. The policemen and paid firemen are to be commended for their work. Their hours are often times bad and also they have to contend with weather conditions that are not always the best. I wish tayor Smith and the new Council the best of luck in the new administration and I hope they will continue to work for continued progress and perhaps expansion of the City of Ithaca. I had hoped that several major projects that I was interested in would be completed while I was in office. I know that hayor Smith is as interested in the completion of these as I am and I am sure that he will be doing everything he can to see that they are accomplished early in his administration. Thank you all again for a wonderful four years." John F. Ryan He dismissed Council members whose terms had expired and invited Mayor -elect Smith to the rostrum where he took the oath of office and was sworn in as Mayor by the City Clerk. He then presented the new Mayor with the Mayor's badge of authority as head of the Police Department and the gavel, symbol of authority, as presiding officer of the Common Council and other municipal boards, congratulated him on his election to the important office of Mayor of the City of Ithaca and tendered him his best wishes for a successful administration. In taking over the reins of government Mayor Smith stated that he was very happy to see so many present at this time and he thanked the outgoing Mayor for the excellent cooperation given to him during the past weeks. He expressed his elation at having being elected Mayor and his hope that he would be able to make the right decisions in all municipal matters in the years ahead,and in turn, hope to receive the satisfied response of the people of the City of Ithaca. He pledged himself to do his best for the best interest of the City at all times and in closing thanked all present for their attendance on this occasion. Mayor Smith called the aldermen -elect before the rostrum where the oath of office was administered by the City Clerk. The new aldermen were escorted to their seats by the retiring aldermen. Fayor Smith took his seat as Chief Executive of the City, and called the new Council to order.

Carried. hk,, MAYOR'S STATT,::ENT: "It would seem appropriate that a new city administration should, at the beginning of its term, not only evaluate the present status of city affairs, but also attempt ,to anticipate both the opportunities and the problems of the future. It might then, in so far as is possible, prepare to take advantage of the opportunities and meet the problems. The various city departments are, undoubtedly, already cognizant of the matters coming up within their respective jurisdictions. For my personal information, however, and as an aid in correlating the work of the several de- partments for the information of all, I am herewith suggesting the programs that I believe will require our special attention duri �y - 5 - January 1, 1964 Reorganization of the City Clerk's Office It has long been recognized that there has been an ever increasing burden of new functions added to the present city clerk's office. One of the nofi- controverdial provisiops of the #tecently proposed new charter recognized this situatidri Ad undertook to improve it by separating the true functiong of the clerk's office from those that have to do with fiscal affairs, It is phssible that it would be advantagdous to put all fiscal affairs under the direction of a comptroller. Such a proposal has already been given preliminary consideration by committees of the Council and should be followed up by continuing study. Council committees might eventually need to seek consulting advise from the State Bureau of Audit PAO and Control or from professional accountants familiar with municipal precedures. City Planning and Zoning Over the .years Ithaca has gradually developed and expanded without the guidance that might have been provided by a Muster Plan. We now have the essentials of such a community wide master plan and an adequate city and Regional Planning Staff. le should therefore take fullest advantage of the potentialities of both Planning Boards in order that any further developement or expansion of the city might follow studies projected ten to twenty years in the future. The City Planning Commission has been working many months on bringing our Zoning ordinance up to date. It is anticipated that the commission will present the proposed new ordinance to the council soon. It must be given careful consider- ation, having in mind that the general purpose of Zoning is to protect property values and that to be effective it must be strictly enforced. Public Improvements Public improvements requiring capital expenditures should be scheduled according to priority of importance and necessity by long term capital budgeting. sWithout the benefit of such long range capital budgeting in the past, Ithaca has undoubtedly fallen behind in providing needed public facilities and improvements. Also contributing to this situation has been the usually laudable, but sometimes uneconomic, policy of keeping the tax rate low. Therefore facing the city in the immediate or near fixture are the following essential needs: 1. Completing the construction of the Triphammer Bridge now being designed and the Giles Street bridge recently placed under contract. 2. Completing the long needed sewer disposal improvements, part of which are now under contract. 3. Cooperation with the State in acquiring rights of way for the new Route 13 bypass --the first of the State's proposed arterial highway improvements for the Ithaca area. 4. Continuing to emphasize the emergency character of the need for the State's second and third scheduled local highway improvements, the Route 96 or Cliff Street project and the Route 96A or South Aurora Street project. 5. Continuing cooperation with the Library Association in providing a long needed new Library building to replace the present partly condemned, fire hazardous, inaccessible and inefficient structure that has worn out in the service of Ithacans for almost 100 years. 6. The anticipated sale by June 1960 of the present library building places the city in an immediate need for a new city office building. "lot only is present City Hall antiquated and inadequate to house city functions after 116 years of use but it is also inefficient to operate. Furthermore the library building is now housing three city departments ---the City Court, the Chamberlain's offices and the Assessors' offices ---all of which, together with Planning commission's offices, will need to be provided with rented space with the demolition of the library building. Ps a measure of both economy and efficiency, the city must at once therefore, begin planning for a new city office building. - 6 - January 1, 1960 7. Off Street Parking In order to protect the property valuations and therefore taxing potential of the central business section of the city from further deterioration, more off street parking must be provided. This is a problem common to all cities, but one that is being gradually met by most. Adequate parking in the highly assessed business section of a city is a necessity for the protection of business that provides a high proportion of taxes and employment, for the convenience of the public, both local and from outside the city, and as a protedtion of all residential property from necessarily increased taxation, which would result business area assessments further decline. Law Enforcement The good reputation of Ithaca as an ideal place to live has recently suffered nation-wide from the revelations of the State Crime Investigations Commission with respect to the prevalence locally of commercial gambling and its potential attendant evils. Your Mayor has just sworn to uphold and enforce local and state laws. This, as head of the Police Department he proposes to do, and now calls on all citizens for the fullest cooperation in all respects. Fire Department A survey of Ithaca's fire fighting potential was made by an Underwriters' organization in 1956, resulting in a series of recommendations for possible im- provements, i-rith an alternative of greatly increased insurance rates. Eany of these recommendations have since been adopted through the efforts of the Fire Commission, the Chief and his staff and the cooperation of the Volunteers. It is possible that still further improvements might be made that will assure Ithacans of more protection from fire loss, favorable fire insurance rates and a continuation of our volunteer fire department that is saving us several hundred thousand dollars per year as compared to the employment of a fully paid department. Expanding the City With very little area remaining within the present city limits for further residential developement, the Ithaca Community is certain to develope in the fringe areas. As these areas are developed there will be a corresponding need for water supply, sewage disposal, fire and police protection, the collection of waste and other services that only a central municipality can readily supply. It is possible therefore that bringing such areas into the city would be to the mutual advantage of each. As a general proposition, the Ithaca Community, which is now a unit geographically, sociologically and economically, could, to the advantage of all, be a unit politically. The city should therefore be alert to all opportunities for negotiating with such adjoining areas with this end in view. Departmental Cooperation A review, such as this, of Ithaca's present and near future, cannot help but suggest that there is much for all city departments do do. I am looking forward to a pleasant association with all city departments and to a full cooperation between the several departments. Toward that end I am proposing to have periodic conferences of all department heads so that each vrill have an understanding and appreciation of what the others are doing. Mayor Ryan I cannot close this "State of the City" message without expressing my appreciation to all retiring city officials and especially to Mayor Ryan who has been most cooperative in the transition from his administration to the next. On motion the meeting was adjourned. Geo. A. Blean > City Clerk CO11Z!0N COUNCIL PROCEEDINGS CITY OF ITHAC A , N.Y. Regular Meeting 7:30 p.m. January 6, 1960 PRESENT: Mayor - Smith Aldermen - Y-urphy, Morris, Baldini, VanMarter, Harrison, Gibson, Hagin, Baldwin, Stallman, Miller, Alo, Mueller, Hart Attorney - Johnson Chief of Police - VanOstrand Fire Chief - Weaver Building Commissioner - Golder Supt. of Pub. Wks. - Laverty Chamberlain - Mrs. Shaw Deputy Chamberlain - Wright Clerk - Blean Deputy Clerk - Barber MINUTES The minutes of the regular meeting held December 2nd. and the special meeting held December 30, 1959 were duly approved. KENNETH H. HERLANN: The Clerk read a letter from the Building Commissioner request- ing approval of his provisional appointment of Kenneth H. Hermann as Building In- spector II, to be effective January 4, 1960, at an annual salary of $4,214.00 pro- vided for in grade 19 of the Compensation Plan. Alderman Mueller reported that the Building Commissioner had recommended this appointment to speed up the building inspection program during the winter months. He explained that enforcement is difficult at other times when property owners offer the excuse that it is impossible to hire craftsmen to do needed repairs during the year when large construction projects are in progress. He felt that many of these craftsmen are available to do small repair jobs during the winter months. He reported that the Building Commissioner had agreed to live within his tentative budget if permitted this additional staff, and Mr. Golder who was present concurred. By Alderman Mueller: seconded by Alderman Stallman RESOLVED, that the provisional appointment of Kenneth H. Hermann as a Building Inspector II, effective as of January 4, 1960, at an annual salary of $4,214.00 be and hereby is approved on the condition that the Building Commissioner be re- quired to live within his tentative budget for 1960 to provide this additional inspector for such time as may be needed. Carried. J GAMBLING ORDIiT^NCE: The Clerk read a letter from the District Attorney recommend- ing the adoption of an ordinance to cover gambling as a crime in the City of Ithaca and to remove many of the legal obstacles which now present difficulties in the successful prosecution of gambling cases. He presented a draft of a pro- posed ordinances in this respect for consideration. By Alderman Gibson: seconded by Alderman Baldini RESOLVED, that the matter be referred to the Charter & Ordinance Committee for study and report. Carried. CORNELL LIBRARY ASSIN: The Clerk read a letter from Cornell Public Library Ass'n. outlining the present status of the sale of the Library building and site to the First Naticnal Bank & Trust Co. It was noted that the annual meeting of the Ass'n. will be held on January 27, 1960 at which time action will be taken cn accepting the Bank's offer without any conditions with possession to be delivered not later than July 1, 1960 and that an effort is being made to obtain a ruling from ^'.Y.S. Dept. of Audit & Control on the legality of whether the City may construct a new library to be operated by the Library Ass'n. It was requested that the City also urge an early ruling in this matter. It was requested also that the legality of the use of Thompson Park as a site for a library building be determined as soon as possible in case it be needed. It was pointed out that if any enabling act by the State Legislature is needed in this respect it must be requested at an early date to be introduced and enacted this year. The matter of securing an answer to the former City -Attorney's request for a legal opinion was referred to Attorney Johnson to pursue. Alderman Baldini noted that the enabling act would be permissive in nature and he urged that steps be taken to secure it if needed. By Alderman Baldini: seconded by Alderman Harrison RESOLVED, that the City Attorney be directed to contact our State Assemblyman and request him to introduce such legislation as may be necessary which will permit the City of Ithaca to use its property now known as "Thompson Park" as a site on which to construct a new library for the City of Ithaca. Carried. - 2 - January 6, 1960 -Alderman N;ueller recommended that the Hayor be authorized to appoint a special committee to act as a "Building Committee" on behalf of the owner in all matters pertaining to the Library. He suggested a five -man committee to represent in- terests of the Common Council, Board of Public Works, Planning Board, Library Trustees, and one member -at -large from the community. Alderman Gibson recommend- ed that the Chairman of such a Committee be the Council's representative. By Alderman Nbeller: seconded by Alderman Stallman RESOLVED, that the Fayor be authorized to appoint a five -man "Building Committee" which will represent the interests as outlined above, to serve in all Library matters including the construction of the building. Carried. AG. RESEARCH CENTER: Mayor Smith called attention to an Ithaca Journal editorial dated January 5th. indicating that the U,S. Department of Agriculture will quite likely authorize a new soil and water research center in New York State, and suggesting that the City should voice its support in favor of having the center located at Cornell University. He advised he had discussed this possibility with a representative of the College of Ag. at Cornell and a representative of N.Y.S. Farm Bureau Federation. He presented a proposed resolution in this matter for consideration and it was acted upon as follows: By Alderman Stallman: seconded by Alderman Gibson 14HEREAS, the U.S. Department of Agriculture has proposed a Federal soil and water research laboratory to be located in the northeastern United States, and I•1HEREAS it is deemed that the findings of such a laboratory r-;- � g would be of immense benefit, not only to producers of farms products, but to consumers of food as .t well, and 41EREAS, it is the sense of the Common Council of the City of Ithaca, N.Y. that agriculture is highly important to the economy of this area, and TCEREAS, there is now located within the City of Ithaca a concentration of other Federal and State agricultural agencies which will be a great help to the proposed laboratory, NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED, that the Common Council of the City of Ithaca, T.Y. hereby heartily endorses and favors the location of such a laboratory, with its attendant facilities, in the City of Ithaca, N.Y.; and that it will cooperate to its fullest extent with the agricultural interests of this area in efforts to obtain congressional support for such a laboratory; and further that the Mayor be authorized and directed to forward a copy of this resolution to the proper federal officials.

NAYS;; 1 - Stallman, .Abstaining:: 1 - Alo ( Corr/tin) 3 - March 2, 1960 CITY PROSECUTOR: The City Attorney reported that recently, because of the i1ln, of our City Prosecutor, the City Court has had difficulty in handling and disposin.- of some of the cases brought before it and that in an attempt to solve the prob- lem and relieve the situation, he had conferred with the District Attorney's office, the Chairman of the Board of Supervisors of Tompkins County, and the County Attorney to see whether the District Attorney or the Assistant District Attorney could take care of and conduct all prosecutions for crimes, offenses and violations violations cognizable by the City Court of Ithaca. The District Attorney has jurisdiction to prosecute all crimes and offenses in the county which inclu s, of course, the City of Ithaca. It was suggested that the city contract with the county to pay the county the same amount which it now pays the City Prosecutor for doing such work. He, therefore, requested authorization for the city to contract with the county for the services of the District Attorney or Assistant District Attorney and for the city to pay the county for such services, annually in July, the sum of $2,000,00 plus social security payments and state retirement payments commensurate with the salary of $2,000.00. Mayor Smith related the difficulty he had experienced at the first of the year in trying to find a local attorney to accept this position when it appeared evident that the City Prosecutor would be unable to continue. He therefore, heartily endorsed the proposal submitted by the City Attorney. By Alderman Baldini: seconded by Alderman Morris RESOLVED, the Common Council hereby authorizes the Mayor of the City of Ithaca and the City Attorney to enter into a contract on behalf of the city with the proper county officials for the services of the District Attorney or Assistant District Attorney in conducting all prosecutions for crimes, offenses and violation - cognizable by the City Court of Ithaca for the sum of $2,000.00 annually together with the cost of social security payments and state retirement payments commensu- rate with the salary of $2,000.00. Unanimously Carried.. AUDIT: By Alderman IVueller: seconded by Alderman Stallman RESOLVED, that the bills approved and audited by the Finance Committee be and the same hereby are approved for payment. Carried. JO.AAT STOUGHTON: Alderman Mueller reviewed the case of Joan Stoughton who works as a typist for the Police Department and the City Court and who was erroneously listed as a provisional employee on January 1, 1960 when the 1960 salaries were established, whereas she had actually passed her examination and received her Permanent appointment on January 12, 1959. This would have entitled her to her first merit increment on January 1, 1960.' To correct this error he recommended that her 1960 salary be increased from $2,632. to $2,737. and that it be made retroactive to January 1st. to correct the aforementioned error. By Alderman Dueller: seconded by Alderman VanMarter RESOLVED, that the salary for Joan Stoughton for 1960 be increased from $2,632.00 to $2,737.00, effective as of January 1, 1960. Carried. LALAFLY INCREASE RE^UFSTS - PAID FIRST" N AND POLICE BENEVOLENT ASS'N• Alderman Mueller presented and reviewed a report of the Finance Committee which showed that, based on information received from N.Y.S. Conference of Mayors, the ✓ salary paid employees of the Fire and Police Departments in Ithaca is higher than the average in 52 cities in the State. The report further indicated that a study had been made of the cost of living index and that the change between February 7 1959 and the present time is less than one-half of a salary grade step. For tN reasons the Finance Committee unanimously recommended that the requests be not approved. Alderman Alo and Murphy both urged some increase be granted. By Alderman Mueller: seconded by Alderman Stallman RESOLVED, that the report of the Finance Committee be approved; and that the requests of the Paid Firemen's Association and the Police Benevolent Association for salary increases be not approved.

The f;ommittee inspected certain properties, checked them for size, location, probable alterations and rents and reports as follows- 1 - Property on E. Seneca St. ( Second floor now occupied by the Planning Bd) There is insufficient room on the first floor for all of the offices including presently unoccupied space on second floor. Rental reasonable 2 - Property on N Tioga St. A little small for needed offices, no possibility of including Planning Bd. Rental figure quite high. 3 - Property on So Aurora St. Too small for all offices, rental figure reasonable 4 - Property on N Cayuga St. Too small for all offices, rental figure reasonable 5 - Property on S Tioga St. Ample room for all offices including Planning Board. Some alterations required. Reasonable rent. Immediate occupancy, This will make a good place and we consider this second choice. 6 - Eagles Building, E State St. Ample room for all offices including Planning Bd and then some. Parking space ample, in fact space available for scKamexmetered parking for a number of cars. Alterations can be held to a minimum for temporary occupancy. Property is to be sold at Public Auction on Saturday March 12 1960 and only means of acquisionwill be purchase. Property is not for rent. This is the committee's first choice and strongly recommends acquisition and use until such time as a new City Hall is built and ready for occupancy. At that time ww recoomend that the building be demolished and the entire lot be put into metered parking lot. We feel that the cost of the building and lot, the alterations, demolition, purchase of adjoining property of the First National Bank plus paving and meters, will be less than what was paid for the Seneca Aurora St lot and will eventually park approximately twice as many cars. At this time we estimate a parking rate of 25 cents for 3 hours on this lot and on this basis and on a 2/3 average occupancy, that the entire investment can be liquidated in less than 20 years. This p&mm plan is the committee's first choice of a site. The mechanics of the purchase have been worked out with the City Attorney, and it is our plan to eventually issue bonds for this purchase. REPORT Pg -2- The Finance Committee,after careful study of the foregoing figures and comparisons listed as well as giving due consideration to the labor market in and about Ithaca, cannot at this time recommend any change in the compensation plan for either the Police Deptx or the Fire laept of the City of Ithaca. A study has also been made in the Cost of Living Index and we find that the change between Feb 1 1959 and the present time is .' less than,one half of a salary grade step and so conclude that this also indicates no change in the compensation plan at this time.

E!GLFS BUILDING: Alderman Stallman presented and reviewed a written report of the Finance Committee regarding the temporary relocation of certain city offices which will become necessary because of the impending sale of the Library Building. (A copy of the report referred to is apl-ended to original minutes) Six different properties were inspected resulting in the selection of the Eagles Club in the 300 block of E. State Street being selected as first choice. It was noted that this property is being offered for sale at a public auction on March 21- 12, 1960 and the Committee recommended its purchase for the temporary housing of X city offices until such time as a new City Hall is built and ready for occupancy. By Alderman Mueller: seconded by Alderman Stallman 74HERE13 , the Common Council is interested in obtaining the Eagles Building for the temporary housing of various city departments because of the imminent term- ination by the Cornell Library Association of the lease with the city of certain portions of the Library building, and '"1HERE"3t the Common Council may in the future wish to use the Eagles' premises for public parking areas in accordance with certain plans, and T,NHEREAS, the Eagles premises are to be sold in the near future at public auction, it is RESOLVED, that the Council authorize the Finance Committee of the Common Council to cause a bid or bids to be made on behalf of the city for the purchase of said premises and, in its discretion, to purchase said premises for the City of Ithaca, A=ID BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that the Common Council does hereby authorize the City Clerk to make any initial payment that may be required in connection with the above purchase with the understanding that the amount of such payment, if any, will be subsequently appropriated from the Contingent Fund in the 1960 tentative budget. T°layor Smith stated that it was his understanding that the purchase of the Eagles' Building could not be justified for the sole purpose of temporarily housing city offices, but when viewed in the light of its eventual use as an off-street parking lot it appeared to be a reasonable investment; and while it did not promise a com_ plete cure to the city's parking problem it did however offer an improvement to the situation. He inquired if his interpretation of these facts were correct and he was assured by Alderman Stallman that they were and that the Committee's recommendation was based on these facts and the committee had no idea of having this property become the future permanent City Hall. Alderman Miller questioned the location as being the best site for an off-street parking lot. Alderman Stallman visioned it an ideal location for shoppers on a three hours for a quarter basis. Alderman Morris noted that its purchase includes Parking spaces for about thirty cars at present which will produce an estimated $4,500, per year. Alderman VanMarter expressed his approval on the basis of its being adequate for present needs, being available and being reputedly self- liquidating. Alderman Harrison urged that the matter be submitted to the Planning Board and Hoard of Public Works for recommendation. Alderman Baldini concurred and urged delay until a complete breakdown of costs of acquiring adjacent properties had been secured. Alderman Stallman reported that while the Board of Public Works had not considered the matter the Superintendent of Public Works had expressed his approval of the proposal and that Mr. Tiley, manager of the Chamber of Commerce was very enthusiastic about it and Expressed his opinion that it would meet with the approval of the Chamber. J - 5 - March 2, 1960 11;r. Paul Kilby, speaking as a taxpayer, stated that he was shocked that the Coar_cil would take such hasty action without either consulting the Planning Board or holding a public hearing on a purchase of this size and type. He predicted an adverse public reaction to it.

Mayor Smith commended all members of the Finance Committee for their work on this matter and the complete report thereon. Alderman Biller stated that he had opposed the purchase of the property because (1) planning in the matter had been done too hastily and in the reverse order of the usual order employed, (2) that, if ultimately the building is to be torn down and used as a site for off-street parking, the City might better have bought the Library building for such a purpose at a lesser cost, and (3) that he doubted it had been properly considered in relation to a capital budget which is an example of government by legislative committee. - 2 - March 16, 196M Planning Commissioner Miscall recommended that, in moving city offices to the Eagles temporarily, consideration be given to moving the Youth Bureau there and in turn moving the City Court and its offices into City Hall where he envisioned the use of the Council Room during the day as the City Courtroom. As a result of this and other discussions it was decided to move the City Chamberlain's, Assessor's and such other city offices as might be determined by the department heads to the Eagles site, By Alderman Mueller: seconded by Alderman Stallman RESOLVED, that the Common Council amend the 1960 tentative budget by including therein an appropriation of $6,000.00 for the renovation of our new building at 330 E. State Street to provide temporary quarters as needed for city offices to include the City Chamberlain's office, Assessor's office and such other city offices as may be determined by the various city department heads, and BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that the Common Council authorizes the Board of Public Works to remove and sell such items in the Eagles building deemed not necessary for temporary occupancy. Carried. By Alderman I'lueller: seconded by Alderman Harrison RESOLVED, that the Common Council request immediate recommendations from the Planning Board for sites for a new City Hall office building, a Central Fire Station, and a Library. Carried. By Alderman Mueller: seconded by Alderman Stallman RESOLVED, That the Common Council formally request the Board of Public Works to undertake the preparation of necessary drawings for the above three projects; that the Board be empowered to contract for architectural services; and further that the Common Council appropriate $20,000 from Capital Reserve Fund #9, General I'hmicipal Building, for the cost of preliminary studies, all with the understanding that the programming of these buildings will be done by the following agencies: Library Library Coordinating Committee Fire Station A similarly appointed committee City Hall Board of Public Works These program recommendations, when presented for final approval, should spell out capital costs as well as operating costs, together with a comparison with present operating costs. AYES: 12 NAYS: 0 Carried. 13yy Alderman T.ueller: seconded by Alderman Stallman RESOLVED, that the Common Council request the Board of Public Works to immediately start detailed studies for either a ground level lot or a ramp parking structure on the extended Aurora -Seneca Street lot, and detailed studies on the parking lot at the Eagles site, such studies to include initial costs, operating costs, and other revelent information; and that the Board present an estimate of the cost of such studies to this Common Council as soon as possible for an apprapr3<+iori of funds therefor.

Determination of total parking needs in the central business and other high valuation districts which can then be adopted by the Council as the firm goal of the City. b. Determination of how match of the parking is to be off-street, and how much to be on -street. c. Determination of how much parking shall be publicly -financed and how much to be privately -financed. d. Determination of a specific timetable to achieve this goal over five gears. i4l -3- March 16, 196o e. Determination of total capital and operating costs, specific plans and locations, or in other words, all the factual information needed by this Common Council to intelligently implement a broad program. f. Review of previous Capital Budget submissions to insure the funds necessary to achieve this program. g. Determination of policy decisions required from the Common Council necessar ,. to complete the studies and to prepare serious recommendations. It is the feeling of the Finance Committee that now is the time to vigorously attach the parking problem in the downtown business districts. We believe, that with careful study, it is possible to balance capital -carrying costs against operational savings and increased parking revenues. In this way the resulting City operating costs need not increase as a result of this bold program. Rather, the City will be protecting the present tax base and tax revenues, and at the same time, will make downtown Ithaca a finer place in which to shop. Carried. By Alderman Mueller: seconded by Alderman Stallman RPESOLVED, that the Common Council establish a timetable which calls for completion and occupancy of a new City Hall, a new central fire station and a new Library within three years.

COMPENSATION PLAN RULES CITY OF ITHACA Effective Febr *y ' 159 _ AN 1 1960 The salaries of all employees of the City of Ithaca covered by the Gcryra�s- tion Plan as adopted, and amended, shall be governed by the following r°ulas-1 1„ NEW APPOINTEES k newly hired employee shall be paid the mirdriUm rate of pay for h ul' appointed grade, or a rate set by the Common Council, 2. ANNUAL INCREMENTS An e7,,ployee receiving less than the maximum for his grade shall be eligible for a one merit increment each fiscal year until his rate reaches the maximum. The service records of all eligible employees shall be re- viewed annually by his'departmert head. Such merit increments are not automatic or mandatory, but are granted upon recommendation of the depart- ment head and approval of Civil Service Commission and Common Council. Annual merit increments shall take effeez on the first day of each fiscal year. To be eligible fur merit review, an employee must serve at least six months prior to the first day of the .fiscal year. No employee is entitled to more than one increment each fiscal year. 3, TRANSFERS There shall be no iiined:tate change in the salary rate of an employee who is transferred unless hi:�- salary is below the approved minimum of the new grade. If an employee is transferred to a higher grade, this is a pro- motion and provisions governing promotions sha-D apply. If an employee is transferred to a lower grade, this is a demotion and provisions governing demotions shall apply. 4. PROMOTIONS° In the event cf the permanent promotion of an employeeD his salary grade shall be changed to the grade set forth for the new position in the following manners The salary for the new position shall be the same as the employee was earning at the old position plus one step in addition (horizontally on the chart) immediately upon permanency. In the event that the old salary plus one horizontal step is less than the prescribed minimum for the new position, then the minimum of the new position shall be the salary. If the permanent promotion of the employee takes place on or before the 30th. of June of any year, he will be eligible for consideration for a merit in- crease on January 1 of the following year. If however, the permanent pro- motim takes place on July 1 or after of any year, he will not be eligible for meritirczeaee until January 1 of the second .year folloti-ring. In other words he must demonstrate his abilities as a pe_manent employee in the new job for over six months before becoming eligible for a merit increase. Provisional promotions do not carry this promotional increment. Employees on the hourly scale will have promotivrts ha.rAl_ed in tha same iAenhical fashion. Page 2 EX:PLE : A man working on Grade 18 Step 4 or $4558,00 is promoted to Grade 21. His new salary will be $4558.00 plus one horizontal step or $4740000. The new salary will start at once upon the promotion becoming permanent. This promotion rule shall take effect as of February 1, 1959, and shall in- clude all promotions on and after January 1, 1959- 5 7 EELIMI IONS When an employee is demoted to a lower grade, he shall be paid at a rate within the range for the lower grade, such rate to be set by the department head and Common Council. b. REALLOCATIONS DOTAIWARD When an employee's job is reallocated to a lover grade, the employee shall continue at his present rate of pay during period of incumbency (except in event of general service wide reductions), but the new salary maximums shall apply. 7. REINSTATED EMPLOYEES A reinstated employee shall be paid at a rate within the approved range for the position an which he is reinstated, such rate to be set by the Common Council. 8, PART TIME EMPLOYNI-W_ When employment is cn a part-time basis, the hourly rate to be paid shall be obtained by dividing the minimum annual salary established for full time employment in the same grade by a figure of 2080 hours. Employees working 20 hours or less per wank are not eligible for annual merit increments. Employees working more than 20 hours fall under Civil Service Rules and are eligible for merit increases under standard rules. 9. OVERTIME Common Council approval must be obtained by the department head for payment of overtime. Emergency overtime rates shall be one and one-half tines regular hourly rates. Ordinary overtime shall be paid at a straight -tine basis. 10. SALARIES EXCEEDING ItMIMUM An employee presently receiving more than the maxi —min, for his grade shall continue at that rate during the period of his incumbency (except in the event of a general service -wide reduction) but shall not be entitled to a salary increase or increment,, except those prov7ded by longevity. 11. LONGEVITY MERIT INCREASE An employee serving more than 10 years, 15 years, or 20 years, is eligible for merit increases beyond she established maximlam rates for his grade. Such merit increases are to be ^canted upon recommendation of the department head and approval of the Civil Service Commission and the Coxwion Council. In any one fiscal year, no more t11an one such merit increase shall be granted, al- though the employee is eligible for further merit reviews by his deparUlent head each year that he is eligible for any such longevity increments due to length of service. Page 3 In determining eligibility, the employees' total uninterrupted service is the determining factor, not only his length of service at the present grade. In counting total years service, time away from the job does not accumulate in determining years of service. Involuntary time off, such as prolonged illness, military service, authorized leave of absence, temporary layoffs, ac not con- stitute a break in service, although such time off does not accumulate in de- termining total years of City service; except in the case of Veterans.9federal regulations applicable shall apply. 12. PROVISIONAL EMPIAYT Provisional employees are not eligible for mE::�t increases except upon recommendation by department head, and approval by the Civil Service Com- mission and the Common Council. 13.
