S Ryan Way, Green -Seneca Turn, and Aurora St. (6-Mile Creek to State) 4 Aurora St. (State to Seneca) 5 Tioga St, (Seneca to Buffalo) December 27, 1962 Hon. John F. Ryan, Mayor and Members of the Common Council Budget requisitions for the year 1963, as filed by the various city departments have been reviewed by the Finance Committee. A public hearing was held by the Committee on December 12, 1962. Our recommendations are presented herewith for Council consideration as follows: 1) General Fund Statement I - Operating Budget 1963 Statement II- Capital Improvements Program 1963 2) Transit Fund 3) Capital Budget - 1964 through 1967 - All Funds. Respectfully submitted, FINANCE COMMITTEE J.G. Miller, Co -Chairman A.C. Stallman, Co -Chairman P. Kilby M. Freeman COMPENSATION PLAN RULES - CITY OF ITHACA (Subject to approval of Common Council) The salaries of all employees of the City of Ithaca covered by the Compen- sation Plan as adopted, and amended, shall be governed by the following rules: 1. NE'^T_ APPOINTEES A newly hired employee shall be paid the minimum rate of pay for his appointed grade, or a rate set by the Common Council. 2; AM1JAL TATORK PERFORMANCE INCREMENTS Each employee with a minimum of six months service prior to the first day of the fiscal year, and receiving less than the maximum for his grade shall be considered for a Performance Increment in each fiscal year until his rate reacheE the maximum of his grade. This increment for the new fiscal year is neither automatic nor mandatory but depends on the over-all rating of each employee during the current .year as summarized on his final Report of Performance Evaluation. At least two interim Reports (and more where feasible) shall be made, one for the first half year and the other for the second half .year. Ratings for all such Reports shall be reduced to the single Summary Report for the year. This Summary Report sh 11 be completed as near the beginning of the new fiscal .year as is feasible to provide time for adequate review with employees, raters, and re- viewers, and for consideration by the Common Council. If the rating of the employee is "outstanding" or "competent" in the Summary Report, he is thereby recommended for his Performance Increment for the new fiscal year. However, authority for final approval rests solely with the Common Council which shall consider all employee Reports in the light of pertinent matters, including financial status of the city. When granted by the Common Council, these increments shall take effect on the first day of the fiscal year. No employee is entitled to more than one such increment in any one fiscal year. In addition to this Performance Increment an employee with "outstarding" rating on the Report of Performance Evaluation may be recommended for additional award to the Common Council by the Advisory Board as set forth in Section 14. 3. TRANSFERS If an employee is moved to another job in the same grade as'at present there shall be no change in salary. If he is moved to a higher grade, this is a promotion and provisions governing promotions shall apply. If he is moved to a lower grade, this is a demotion and provisions governing demotions shall apply. 4. PROMOTIONS In the event of the permanent promotion of an employee, his salary grade shall be changed to the grade set forth for the new position in the following manner: - 2 - F ,'Llyt *Amended IR"27-61 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 per- formance increment on January 1 of the following year. If however, the per- manent promotion takes place on July 1 or after of any year, he will not be eligible for performance increment until January 1 of the second year following. In other words he must demonstrate his abilities as a permanent employee in the new job for over six months before becoming eligible for a performance in- c rement Provisional promotions do not carry this promotional increment. These provisions shall apply alike to employees on annual rates and hourly rates. EXAMPLE: 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 $4740.00. The new salary will start at once upon the promotion becoming permanent. 5. DEMOTIONS When an employee is demoted to a' within the range for the lower grade, head and Common Council. 6. RECLASSIFICATIONS DOWNWARD 6.A. x NW_ _S3Z1OATIOjN itPwA lower grade, he shall be paid at a rate such rate to be set by the department nee an etob areclassified increment oa higher grade by©line,hat any performance du and rmedd be granted. Where an amployeeis job is reclassified to a higher grade by txo or slate lines, that the reclassification shall be considered in lieu of any Increment for that year. When employment is on 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 Wiper week are at* eligible for annual performance increments. ly/6r1-9 but employees workin<- less than twenty hours are not eligible for such increments. -3 - 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 times regular hourly rates. Ordinary overtime shall be paid at a straight -time basis. 10. SALARIES EXCEEDING MAXIMUM An employee presently receiving more than the maximum 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 in- crease or increment, except those provided by longevity. 11. LONGEVITY INCREMENT An employee serving more than 10, 15, or 20 years shall be considered for the Longevity Increment beyond the established maximum rates for his grade. Such an increment is not automatic or mandatory but is recommended if the over- all rating in the summary of all interim Reports on Performance Evaluation, as outlined in Section 2 is "competent" or "outstanding." Authority for final approval rests with the Common Council. If an employee is rated "improvement needed" or "unsatisfactory," he loses credit for one year of service for the respective fiscal year for purposes of calculating longevity. In any one fiscal year, an employee may not be considered for both a longevity increment and a work performance increment nor for more than one longevity increment. In determining eligibility, the employees' total uninterrupted service is the determining factor, not only his length of service at the present grade. Involuntary time Ioff, such as prolonged illness, military service, authorized leave of absence, temporary layoffs, do not constitute a break in service, although such time off does not accumulate in determining total years of city service, except in the case of Veterans_, when federal regulations applicable shall apply. 12. PROVISIONAL EMPLOYEE Provisional employees are not eligible for performance increments except upon recommendation by department head, and approval by the Common Council. 13. CHANGES IN TNCREMENTS All changes in increments within a grade, and all promotional increments Of employees in departments under the control of the Common Council, shall be approved by the Common Council. 14. ADVISORY COMMITTEE The Advisory Committee shall be comprised of three department or division heads appointed by the Common Council for one year terms. At least t*.pro additional department heads shall be appointed by the Council to serve as alternates in the event that a regular member of the committee is unavailable or disqualified. A member is disqualified if one of his department employees is being considered by the Committee. -4- Reports of Performance Evaluation with 'outstanding" rating are auto- matically referred to the Advisory Committee for its recommendation to the Common Council as to nature and size of award. Any employee with an interim or summary Report of Performance Evaluation indicating an over-all rating of "improvement needed" or "unsatisfactory" may request a review by this Committee provided he has completed the steps for rev3.ew of his Report with his supervisor(s) and department head as explained in the Work Performance Evaluation Plan. Hisrequest to this Committee must be in writing with a copy to his department head within seven calendar days immediately following his receipt of the review decision from his department head. The department head must furnish to the Committee: a) Copy of the employee's Report. b) Copy of the employee's request to his supervisor for review, with reasons, c) Copy of review decision from department head. The committee shall limit its review to the evidence as presented in items a, b, and c of the preceding paragraph. The Committee must give opportunity for both employee and department head to discuss the Report and supporting record,. It must render its decision in writing to the employee, with a copy to the department head within seven calendar days immediately following its receipt of the request. It's decision may confirm, raise, or lower the rating in the Report. 15. Attached hereto and made a part of this Compensation Plan is a form of "Report of Performance Evaluation" which is to be used to evaluate the employees Performance and work. The Common Council may from time to time change the form, make amendments or additions thereto or add supplements thereto to be used specifically for the Fire, Police, Board of Public Works or other Departments. Copies of any changes of form are to be sent to the employees concerned. WORK PERFORMANCE EWLUATION PLAN - CITY OF ITHACA, N.Y. (Subject to approval of Common Council) MEANS THAT Employees receive recognition for good performance,, Employees are aided in improving their present performance and in preparing for promotion. Employees and supervisors gain a clearer idea of their mutual work relation- ships. "Gripes" are cleared up before they have a chance to become worse. Employees know what is being reported of them and their work to the "top management , " Supervisors have been furnished with an important tool to improve supervisory techniques, training, communications and morale, GENERAL INFORMATION FOR EMPLOYEES Work Performance Evaluation is not just a once -a -year affair. Whether 77ou realize it or not your work performance is being rated continually. Every day you work, every job you do gives .your supervisor a chance to observe how well you perform .your duties, T,Tork Performance Evaluation procedures are designed to get down on paper a record of your significant performances so that your supervisor can be guided by the facts and not rely on memory. They are also intended to help him carry out his rating function as objectively as possible. With the use of these pro- cedures the effects of "personalities" can be eliminated Two procedures that we believe will help to keep the evaluations or ratings in line with the facts are: 1. Writing out just what we mean by 'outstanding;, competent, improvement needed, unsatisfactory" and how arrived at in the Report of Performance Evaluation. 2. Arranging for you and your supervisor to discuss your work performance freely, fairly, frankly and objectively, To sum it up - the chief aim of this program is to let you know just how you are getting along on your job and to help you get along even better in the future. The Report of Performance Evaluation which is an integral part of this pro- gram, provides for interim and summary ratings through use of various major factors each supported by several specific work categories, Narrative comments should be made wherever possible and must be made when otrer•all rating is "out- standing," "improvement needed," or "unsatisfactory," A11 supervisors must participate in the preparation of the Reports. All Reports must besiigned by the immediate supervisor, the next higher supervisor or supervisors, if any, and the department head. Where an employee has only one supervisor the Report may not be considered complete until reviewed and signed also by the Personnel Consultant. When raters and reviewers have significant differences they must - 2 - be clearly stated on the Report with examples, but the department head shall have the majority weight when there are differences. Your over-all evaluation or rating is based upon a fair and reasonable consideration of'the various factors as they affect your work: quality and quantity of work, work habits, work interest, relationships with people, re- sourcefulness and initiative, "other," and supervisory ability, where factors do not fit your work they are omitted. Where supplemental work factors are needed to rate your work adequately they become an integral part of the Report of Performance Evaluation„ When advised of any interim or summary over-all rating, you receive a copy of the Report which then furnishes a common ground for objective and constructive discussion of your work performance. If you believe any interim or summary Report in which you are rated "im- provement needed" or "unsatisfactory" is not in line with the facts, you are en- couraged to discuss your Report further with your supervisor or supervisors as a desirable, friendly, constructive, and informal routine. If this still does not resolve the problem you may, within seven calendar days immediately follow- ing the notification of your rating, make a request in writing together with reasons, to your immediate supervisor for a further review of .your Report of Performance Review. You may then review your Report in person with all those who have signed the Report. A review decision must be rendered and confirmed to you by the department head in writing within seven calendar days from receipt of your request. If you believe the review decision is not in line with the facts you may request a review by the Advisory Committee as outlined in Section 14 of the Ithaca Compensation Plan Rules. An interim Report of Performance Evaluation shall be completed for each employee not less than twice each calendar year. Likewise a Summary Report shall be completed prior to the beginning of the new fiscal year with sufficient time for additional review with your supervisors and department head if desired.' In addition a Report must be completed each month for each probationary employee, for each employee whose latest rating is "unsatisfactory," and for each employee when changing jobs or leaving city employment. TO RATERS AND REVIEWERS As a supervisor in your daily duties you are continually weighing the evidence as to how effective your workers are doing their jobs. In his work an employee will usually meet, exceed or fall short of what .you reasonably expect of him. As a result of weighing the evidence .you assign him one of the four over-all ratings of the Report of Performance Evaluation. Use of the Report provides a much sounder basis for rating then reliance on memory and unwritten records. In rating an employee under this program simply put into action your know- ledge of the work duties to be performed, the manner in which they should be performed, and how well they are being performed by the employee. Performance evaluations or ratings fairly determined on the basis of actual work require- ments followed by frank and constructive discussion of the employees actual work performance will foster mutual understanding between you and the employees ,you supervise. -3- Actual recording of the employee's over-all rating is simple. However, before you begin you should first be sure you are thoroughly familiar with the various work factors indluded in the Report of Performance Evaluation, also any supplemental factors which become part of the Report. Likewise you should be thoroughly familiar with the information under the title, "Definitions of Over -All Work Performance Factors," which appears later. Allowance should be made for the new employee or special circumstances. Written comments should be used freely and must be used as set forth on the Report of Performance Evaluation. Objectivity is more easily attained by narrative comments based on written records made during the course of the rating period. Give examples of work well done as well as work deficiencies. Give specific plans for improving performance together with a schedule for follow up. You should supply any statement you think is specially descriptive of an employee's performance in the job. Your efforts to describe an employee's work performance will define more clearly your evaluation of him and help you in assigning him a rating which neither under -rates nor over -rates his perfor- mance, As a supervisor you should aim to encourage discussion of work performance with your workers at all times during the period covered by the Report and not Just during the few days prior to and immediately following its completion. Job or work performance standards should be based on the tasks of the job and not on the rating factors in the Report of Performance Evaluation. Your work standards should be made known continuously to each employee. You should make certain that each employee has a clear understanding of them. Ordinarily very few employees, even in a large work group, will be either outstanding or definitely unsatisfactory and unfit workers. DEFINITIONS OF OVER-ALL WORK PERFORMANCE FACTORS As used in the ?fork Performance Rating Program, the over, -all ratings have the following meanings: "OUTST MMING" Performance is consistently and substantially above the requirements of the Job in all respects throughout the year. Genuine 'outstanding" performance on the part of an employee must tend to be somewhat unusual due to the fact that the employee does not normally receive an opportunity to work on extraordinary or especially difficult assignments greatly beyond the regular demands of his position. Therefore, "outstanding" means performance far above the level of work normally required of an employee in that position. This rating in his summary Report recommends an employee for Work Performance increment and such other award as approved by the Common Council, "COMPETEN' T" Performance consistently meets requirements of the job in a satisfactory manner throughout the rating period. - 4 - Performance produces what can reasonably be expected of a well qualified employee in the title. Performance gives evidence of increased effectiveness over previous periods, if any. In some areas of his total work, his performance is consistently at a level above such requirements. Such a worker will very often do a better job than might be expected of a fully competent person in the title. In evaluating the employee against the requirements, allowance should be made for new employees, working conditions, variation in kind and condition of facilities and equipment, and the like. This rating in his summary Report recommends an employee for Nork Performance increment. "IMPROVEMENT NEEDED" Performance does not meet minimum requirements of the job as substantiated by the detailed Report of Performance Evaluation. Performance is below average expected of his work group, has not improved commensurate with his length of service and remains below the mi.nirram require- ments. Performance indicates the necessity for such improvement as additional skill, speed, better attendance, job interest, work habits, initiative and the like. This rating is indicative of a positive need for a. series of prompt, frank and constructive discussions between employee and supervisor regarding de- ficiencies in his work, together with specific suggestions and plans for effect- ing improvement. If there is insufficient visible improvement in the indicated deficiencies after a reasonable time, and after due warning to the employee, consideration should be given to a transfer to other duties more suitable to his abilities, or consideration of demotion or other corrective action. Employee may not be placed in this rating more than one year unless the rating is unanimously approved by all raters and reviewers on his Report of Work Performance Evaluation. This rating in his summary Report results in the withholding of a performance increment or loss of credit for one year toward longevity increment. Likewise the appointing officer may not appoint him to a promotional position until the rating on his Report of Work Performance Evaluation shall have become a higher rating. "UNSATISFACTORY" Performance is consistently below the minimum requirements of the job, is characterized by consistent weakness and deficiency in his work and fails to respond adequately to training and correction. -5 - His performance is deficient for reasons substantiated by the Report of Performance Evaluation with its written statement listing deficiencies with specific examples demonstrating the nature and seriousness of his unsatisfactory performance. This rating is indicative of a positive need for a series of prompt, frank and constructive discussions between employee and supervisor regarding de- ficiencies in his work together with specific suggestions and plans for effect- ing improvement If there is insufficient visible improvement in the indicated deficiencies after a reasonable time and after due warning to the employee, consideration should be given to demotion, dismissal and/or other corrective action. This rating in his summary Report results in the withholding of a perfor- mance increment or loss of credit for one year toward longevity increment Like- wise the appointing officer may not appoint him to a promotional position during the ensuing fiscal year.

The Clerk advised that the Board had referred the proposals and estimates received from Modjeski & Masters to the Finance Committee of the Council for its information and consideration. Alderman Stallman presented the following report: "The Finance Committee met with the Capital Improvement Review Committee including three members of the Board of Public Works Messrs. Egan, Leary and Alo. As a re- sult of the disucssions the Finance Committee reports as follows: Due to the unsettled conditions in the West End and the following unknown situations - A - Unknown final location of flood control channel and bridge or bridges across it. B - Unknown final decision of N.Y. State of design and location of Routes 96, 89 and 79. C - Unknown impact of Route 13 traffic. D - Unknown decision of LVRR as to its final trackage arrangements in the area. E - Unknown decision of N.Y. State on what plans may be forthcoming on the re- pairs of the Inlet Walls. The Finance Committee does not recommend approval at this time for the replacing of the Seneca Street bridge with a new bridge. The Finance Committee by a vote of 3 to 1 recommends that the Common Council authorize the Board of Public Works to en- gage Mr, T.G, Miller, of the firm of Crandall & Miller, to prepare engineering plans and specifications, obtain N.Y. State approval and then take bids on the re- pair of the present bridge in the manner as proposed by Mr. Miller. The cost estimate is approximately $35,000 for the work, $3500 for engineering fees, $1,000 for approach work and $500 for suitable signs, or a total of $40,000. This amount to be financed by Bond Anticipation Notes to be paid off in full in five years. It is also recommended that three additional matters be approved. 1 - W. Seneca Street be made ONE WAY WEST from Meadow Street to State Street. 2 - Adequate signs be erected at Meadow and Seneca Streets and at Fulton and Seneca Streets warning heavy trucks that the bridge has a limited load capacity and that they must use alternate bridges at State Street and Buffalo Streets and adequate signs be erected at Seneca Street and Taughannock Boulevard and at State and Seneca Streets warning ONE WAY DO NOT ENTER. 3 - No major renairs to be made to this nortion of IN. Seneca Street but only those renairs necessary to keen it useable for the period of the next five years. The Finance Committee wishes to impress the Common Council, the Public and the over 1000 signers of a petition to reo;�en the bridge, that this recommendation is not a final solution to all of the traffic and other v roblems in the hest End nor is it a final solution to the Seneca Street bridge requirements. This recommen- dation in effect grants to the public their desire to have the bridge open and buys time for the resolution of the five unknown problems listed above. It is honed that in five years time or less we will have definite answers to all of the unknowns and can then more intelligently decide the ultimate solution of the bridge problem. Mssrs. Stallman, Kilby and Hart voted YES to the above and Mr. Gormly Miller voted NO and will make his own report on his vote." By Alderman Stallman: seconded by Alderman Kilby RESOLVED, that the Board of Public Works be authorized to at once obtain engineering designs and specifications from Air. T.G. Miller, clear these with N.Y. State and then take bids on the repairs as outlined above, and that the Charter and Ordinance Committee prenare the necessary papers etc. for the one way street and that the Board of Public Works order the signs to be designed and erected in time for the reopening of the bridge.

Alderman Miller stated that he did not agree with the Committee's renort '_-,�cnus> he felt that if a bridge is needed - and he was not convinced that the need is urgent - then it should be a new bridge. :le felt the city has already made heavy committments,, in the !'Jest End area for routes 13 and 96 as well as for flood control and that a large scale plan for the area should be drawn before introduction of new elements. lie said he felt that plans for a new bridge there should go through regular budgetary channels like other carital expenditures. Alderman Murphy favored the Miller plan to alleviate nresent traffic conditions be- cause he felt that flood control and work on route 96 are not going to relieve con- ditions for some time to come. Alderman Hincs urged delay and favored instead a traffic control system recommended by Assistant Traffic Engineer Melchen. He stated that if this did not improve the situation entirely it would pinpoint the problems. After some further discussion the matter was voted on.

TRAFFIC CONTROL: Alderman Murphy presented the following ronort: "The Public Safety Committee held a joint meeting January 29 with the Charter and Ordinance and Finance Committees on the subject of Traffic Control and Traffic Engineering. Edward Melchen, Assistant City Engineer, discussed with the committees his nronosals for the betterment of these important factors in our community. He pointed out that requests for engineering services are steadily increasing and at present there is a backlog of these services. It is imperative that the traffic section of our government keen abreast of these services and this meeting was called as an initial step to attemnt to resolve them. There has been improvement in this area but much remains to be done. With new federal and state legislation regarding traffic control coming out each year, planning should be stepped un considerably. Existing deficiencies should be remedied and a comprehensive Traffic Improvement program developed. The combined committees were of the opinion that the West End area involving the Seneca Street Bridge is a case in n_oint. Another is the Fall Creel: Area with the new High School generating increased pedestrian and vehicle activity. Traffic and safety improvements, such as school crossing guards, signs, strining and lights have been made in our school areas but more should be planned for the future as our educational facilities expand. Accessibility, parking and traffic flow are also imnortant to the merchants of our city. However, we do not want another kind of traffic flow --the one that goes past the merchant's door, gets on a merry-go-round looking for a place to nark and finally goes on its way without stopping. Traffic control and traffic engineering play a. large part in the economy of our city. Ogg$ to 6, 1065 �3 It was the concensus of opinion of those present that the city departments involved should delve into the possibility of funnelling additional personnel into traffic con- trol and traffic engineering work, of enacting better ordinances and planning for more and better narking facilities. They also concluded that a better balance in favor of traffic control and traffic engineering should be maintained in our city budget. Now is the time to plan for resolving our problems before increasing vehicular difficulties can assure that Route 13 may indeed become the "Ithaca. By -Pass." It was decided by the joint committees additional study should be given to these issues and that a final report be deferred to v later date." URBAN RENEi:!AL: Mrs. Ann Warren sroke on behalf of the Ithaca Board of Realtors Urban Renewal Committee.

Page 3 April 3, 1963 FLUORIDATION: The Clerk read the following ruling by the City Attorney: "Common Council of the City of Ithaca Board of Public Works of the City of Ithaca Gentlemen: March 11, 1963 At the last Common Council meeting, my opinion was requested as to the following questions: (1) May a referendum be held on the question of fluoridation of City water? (2) Does the Board of Public Works or the Common Council have the ultimate jurisdiction as to the fluoridation of said water? As to No. 1, the question of the referendum, it is a well established principle that unless there is specific Provision for a referendum or unless there has been a special bill approved by the New York State Legislature in which special circumstances must be alleged, that there can be no referendum. (see McCabe v. Voorhis, 243 N.Y. 401 • 1926); (Elkind v. City of New Rochelle, 5 N.Y. 2d 836 - 1958). Further,with regard to fluoridation, the State Comptroller, in Opinion 59-212, page 95, 1959 Opinions of the Comptroller, relating to municipal government, held that there is no authority in law for the trustees of a village to submit to referendum the question of whether fluoridation should be Practiced with respect to the village water system. An unauthorized referendum is an absolute nullity. Thus it is my opinion, based on the law and based on the opinion of the Comptroller, that in the absence of a special Act of the N.Y. Legislature, no referendum may be held on fluoridation by the City of Ithaca. With regard to Question No, 2, Section 123 of the City of Ithaca states that the 'board of Public Works shall take charge and...have exclusive control of..l. Water.' The City Charter also in many cases makes the Common Council of the City of Ithaca the legislative and general policy -making body, while the Board of Public Works is an operating body, having exclusive control of certain departments of the City. The ultimate control, in a city, however, as to all matters is the body having control of the finances of the City, and of course that is the Common Council. Upon review of the City Charter, it is my opinion that the fluoridation of water is a means of treating the water to obtain certain desired results, and as such, since water is within the exclusive control of the Board of Public Works, the question of fluoridating the water is a decision to be made by said Board. The decision is basically one of how to treat the City's water supply and not one of a general policy making nature. WATER & SEWER SERVICES OUTSIDE CITY LIMITS: the City Attorney: "Common Council of the City of Ithaca Board of Public Works of the City of Ithaca Gentlemen: Respectfully submitted, Sgn: James J. Clynes, Jr, City Attorney" The Clerk read the following ruling by At the last Common Council meeting, my opinion was requested as to the following question: Who has jurisdiction --the Board of Public Works or the Common Council -- on the question of whether or not the sewer and water services of the City of Ithaca should be extended beyond the corporate boundaries of the City without annexation? Section 127 of the City Charter provides that the 'Board of Public Works shall have the power to adopt and execute Plans...for the extension and improvement of the present sewer and water system...' Section 123 of the City Charter states that the 'Board of Public Works shall take charge —and have exclusive control of...l. Water. 2. Sewers and drains.' A general review of the Charter reveals that the legislative body, or the policy - making body of the City of Ithaca is the Common Council. On July 26, 1961, the Board of Public ?'lorks adopted a resolution as follolgs : Page 4 April 3, 1963 "RESOLVED, that it is the sense of this Board that a policy of restricting any further extension of water and sewer services beyond established districts be adopted; and it is recommended that such a policy be adopted at a joint meeting of the Common Council and Board of Public Works." On December 273, 1961, Mayor Smith read a statement to the Common Council in which he stated that the proposed policy of the Board of Public Works was referred to the Common Council for confirmation. No such action of confirmation has been taken up to the present time. In my opinion, the Charter of the City of Ithaca makes adistinction in this particular area between the jurisdiction of the Board of Public Works and that of the Common Council. The question of the desirability of extending the water and sewer system beyond the corporate boundaries of the City of Ithaca is a matter of policy and that is within the province of the Common Council. The question of feasibility of expanding said system in any given area is left to the decision of the expert operating body, the Board of Public Works. It is, therefore, my opinion that the general policy decision of whether or not to extend services beyond the corporate boundaries of the City of Ithaca without annexation is the province of the Common Council. The question of whether these services can be I,) extended in any given area is the province of the Board of Public Works. t- oo Respectfully submitted, Sgn. James J. Clynes, Jr. City Attorney" TRAFFIC ORDINANCE AMENDMENT: The Clerk reported that the Board of Public Works had re- quested the Council, for the second time, to amend Section 142 of the Traffic Ordinance to read as follows: Section 142.

By Alderman Miller: seconded by Alderman Stallman RESOLVED, that the findings and recommendations of the Mayor's Special Committee be accepted and that its report be made a part of the official minutes of this meeting, and BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that the Common Council of the City of Ithaca recommends to the Tompkins County Board of Supervisors, that there be enacted on a County -wide basis a Sales and Compensating Use Tax at the rate of 20; and that the proceeds of such taxes, if enacted, be distributed, after the deduction of cost of collection, as follows: 5% to be retained by the County for County purposes and the balance to be distributed to the towns, villages and the City of Ithaca on the basis of population. Alderman Murphy made the following statement on the subject: "If a sales tax is adopted in the near future I feel it will be an added burden on the already harrassed small homeowner who is the backbone of our nresent tax structure. It would also adversely affect those persons with fixed incomes. Proponents say that a sales tax is inevitable in our area and may be forced on us to balance our budgets without undue increase of our property taxes. I do not feel that this point has yet been reached. However, I do intent to keep an open mind on the subject of a County sales tax as additional studies and meetings concerning the tax and alternatives are made by various area groups. At the present time I feel a sales tax is not warranted." Alderman VanMarter again called attention to a report prepared and submitted to the Council indicating the city's future capital needs which will increase the city's debt by an estimated $4,000,000.00 in the next five years. lie commended members of the Committee for their work and urged support of the resolution. Alderman Kilby expressed his support of a Sales Tax on a County basis but not on a City basis.

After a discussion of this motion it was withdrawn for the present. PER CAPITA STATE AID: By Alderman Miller: seconded by Alderman McNeill BE IT RESOLVED, by this Common Council that the responsible officers of the City of Ithaca and its Common Council should make within the next few months strong and urgent representations to the Temporary State Commission on Per Capita Aid in support of a formula for State Aid or other fiscal means to compensate the Local Governments of Tompkins County for the disproportionate burden of tax exempt property which now falls heavily upon them. Carried. STATE AID: Alderman Miller recommended that this Council should go on record as being seriously concerned with the actions of the Legislature in cutting the "save harmless" state -aid provision and the maintenance and operation, and capital construction sewer aid programs from the State Budget. These items directly affect the taxpayers of our city and will result in placing a greater tax burden on the real property owner. The thirty-five cities and 200 villages that have lost population between the 1950 and 1960 census will lose state assistance under the current budget, but have ex- perienced a rise in costs equal to or greater than that experienced by other cities and villages. Now, in the time of their greatest need, the State takes away revenue upon which they depend in financing essential services of government. This Council reminds the legislature that this municipality among others have made plans to construct and add to sewer trunks and treatment plants in reliance upon the action of the 1962 Legislature in establishing a program of aid for such programs. Now that contracts and committments have been made, the State has changed the rules and withdrawn the assistance. At the same time the Legislature has cut down on ner capita payments, the Legislature is also considering and advancing bills which, like additional paid holidays for local government employees, mandate an additional cost upon the local governments. These two courses of action are completely incompatible. By Alderman Miller: seconded by Alderman Baldini RESOLVED, that this Council calls upon the Legislature to reconsider their action on the "save harmless" portion of per capita assistance and on the sewer aid program, and BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that the Council draws to the attention of the Legislature the importance and the necessity of killing any legislation that would impose any additional mandated expenses upon our local governments in this difficult time.

The Board shall make such contracts and set rates as it may deem appropriate." Alderman Miller offered an amendment to the resolution in the form of a substitute as follows: By Alderman Miller: seconded by Alderman Stallman WHEREAS the public interest requires a well defined policy within which the Board of Public Works may consider applications for extension of water and sewer services, and WHEREAS, it has been determined that the Common Council is the responsible body of the City of Ithaca to establish policy with respect to water and sewer services provided by the City of Ithaca under the administration of the Board of Public Works, NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that it shall be the policy of the City of Ithaca to extend water and sewer services to duly constituted water or sewer districts or municipalities within Tompkins County outside the boundaries of the City of Ithaca, under appropriate cooperative agreements as provided by the General Municipal Law. Negotiation of cooperative agreements for such extension of services shall be authorized by the Board of Public Works only after it has determined (1) that the projected re- quirements of the population to be served is within the capacity of the available water and sewer facilities of the City of Ithaca; (2) that the area to be served can be economically and efficiently connected to the Ithaca water and sewer distribution system; (3) that any capital investment required will be met by funds provided through the area to be served or by anticipated increased revenue from increased consumption but in no case by increased rates for consumers already on the roles; and (4) that an extension will in no way interfere with or reduce the quality of service or the volume or pressure of water to any consumers presently served by the Water and Sewer Division of the City of Ithaca, and BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Board of Public Works in preparation for the administration of this policy prepare or cause to be prepared (1) an analysis of costs including capital- ization which may be used to assure that rates to be established or changed in areas outside the City of Ithaca shall provide adequate revenue for the Water and Sewer Division to meet all costs involved in providing water or sewer services, (2) estimates of capacity and expansion potential of facilities, and (3) projections of population growth within the areas now served by the City of Ithaca and within areas requesting service, and Page 2 July 10, 1963 BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that nothing contained in this resolution shall be con- strued as restricting the Board of Public Works in planning for expansion of existing facilities to meet anticipated increased demands; or in participating in planning for a county or regional water authority or other publicly owned agency for the develop- ment of water resources. Alderman Schmidt entered the Council Chamber at this point in the meeting. Alderman Kilby termed the substitute resolution the same as the original with the in- clusion of sewer as well as water services. He said he felt it was not fair to the residents of those areas who had recently annexed in order to secure sewer services. Alderman [lines opposed the resolution and urged that the City encourage the formation of a County Water District to serve the entire area, because if we do not have the water capacity without getting into new plant facilities, the easiest way is through such a County Water District. Alderman Miller expressed his view that the water and sewer services should not be related to boundary lines but should be considered like other utilities such as electricity and gas. After some further discussion a roll call vote was taken and resulted as follows: AYES: 9 - Rosica, Baldini, VanMarter, McNeill, Baldwin, Stallman, Miller, Schmidt Hart NAYS: 5 - Murphy, Kilby, Hines, Hagin, Burns Motion Carried.

"With the Board depending on the counsel of the Engineers, I feel sure that each and every decision will be made to protect the City resident and interests as I am sure the Common Council would want. "However I feel it is my obligation as Mayor to be on record as opposing this resolution and therefore I am registering a veto on this motion." John F. Ryan, Mayor Alderman Hart inquired if there could be any appeal from the Mayor's decision at this time and he was advised by the City Attorney that this could be done only at the next meeting of the Council, if desired.

R-112); and, WHEREAS, the Local Public Agency desires to set forth certain objectives for the planning of said project, NOW T1IEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the Local Public Agency of the City of Ithaca, New York: Section 1. That the following policy statement of objectives be adopted: 1. Detailed studies for the Center -Ithaca project will be starting from a solid foundation of data., analysis and opinion. This back- ground material should be used to the fullest extent possible recognizing that there is no obligation beyond fundamental premises. 2. Parki.na and ease of traffic movement are viewed as major problems to be solved in renewal plans for the downtown area. Parking pro- posals should be a hart of a completely thought out plan of high quality for the entire downtown. Because of need, definite con- sideration should be given to the schedule of downtown renewal so . that relief from the parking problem is among the first things accom- plished. CXJ 3. Plans and proposals for Center -Ithaca should be conceived with re- building to an extent necessary to achieve a pleasing, practical downtown and limited only by rebuilding opportunity and the city's financial capacity. While the deterioration of some structures, the obsolescence of others, and the need for parking, public buildings and some new commercial development may suggest much rebuilding, special attention should be given to preservation of existinc buildings which can be economically and architecturally integrated into new patterns. The modern functionality and convenience of new buildings can be approached in older structures through a program of preservation and rehabilitation which will integrate one group with the other. 4. Every effort should be made to schedule required rebuilding in such a way that continuous operation of businesses, or at least only short interruptions, will be possible during the relocation process. S. The development of proposals should include careful attention to the needs and operations of present tenants and owners who will re- main in the project area. 6. Badly necded public buildings shaould form a prominent part of downtown renewal activities. Sites for these buildings to be given immediate consideration should be: 1. A Public Safety Building (Fire and Police). 2. A Public Library 3. City office space and council rooms. Plans and proposals for these public buildings should reflect recognition of need for early construction. 7. Regular meetings with the Urban Renewal Committee of Common Council, other city agencies and departments to review the work of the consultants should be continued during the pre- paration of the Center -Ithaca project plan. Section 2. That this resolution shall take effect immediately upon its adoption. Carried. On motion the meeting was adjourned. Goo. A. Blean City Clerk COMMON COUNCIL PROCEEDINGS CITY OF ITHACA, N.Y.

He asked those in opposition to sneak first. James Rothschild, Irv. Lewis, Milton Karsch and Haskell Davidson all spoke in opposition. They urged the Council to delay its action on the proposal until more is known about Urban Renewal plans for the downtown business area. They expressed their individual concern about the need for more parking being made available in the downtown area in order to enable them to compete with the shopping plaza proposed for the "Fairgrounds" area vith its unlimited free narking. Jheldon Smith, President of Ithaca Gun Company urged favorable action as a means of spreading the tax base. John LoPinto urged approval on the basis of its being good for all the taxpayers in the City. He stated that the main reasons given by the State Street merchants is their fear of competition and that this has been held illegal by the Courts. Others who spoke and urged approved included James Graves, Supervisor from the 1st. Ward, Ben DeYoung, who spoke for both the Westend Business Assn. and the Tompkins County Electronic Dealers Assn., and Nathan Weiner, a W. State Street merchant. Allan H. Treman, Attorney for the developers, reviewed the entire case including the zoning of the surrounding areas. He agreed with the State Street merchants that more parking is needed in the downtown business area and stated that he felt further delay will only drive his client out of the city. He urged that the Council consider the matter as it affects the entire city and all of its taxpayers. He filed one petition signed by representatives of the Plaza Motel, Meadow Court Motel and Sharwill Gardens, adjacent on the Meadow Street side, and another petition signed by Ward Construction Co., Inc, Edward T. Akers and Robert Dean, adjacent on the W. Clinton Street side. Both of these petitions urged approval. Paul Taber, a G.L.F. representative, urged approval.

"2- The City of Ithaca needs room for expansion and this may be accomplished only through the annexation cf areas immediately adjacent, and whose residents see in our water and sewer facilities and other services an inducement to annexation. "3- Our first concern should be for the citizens of the City. It is not evident in this resolution. Vetoed. Sgd: John F.

Ile do this in the firm belief that such a study will point the way to the most econ- omical and effective development of these resources and thus will lead to the growth and prosperity of the community. - 3 - August 6, 1963 "For this study the Greater Ithaca Regional Planning Board and the Greater Ithaca Study Committee seek the support of the citizens of the Greater Ithaca community on the grounds that until such a study is completed development of other sources of water and sewer services ought not to begin. "The Greater Ithaca Regional Planning Board and the Greater Ithaca Study Committee also seek support from the City of Ithaca for this approach to the water and sewer problems of the area. For this reason we urge the City of Ithaca to waive its existing practice regarding extension of water service for a two-year period as a temporary measure while the study is in process. In presenting this request to the city we believe that the necessary facilities for extension are available. The Board and the Committee understand that extensions should take place only in areas where they are feasible from an engineering point of view, when no capital cost accrues to the city, and only where the cost of extension is the full re- sponsibility of those who benefit from it. Robert M. Mueller, Chm Arthur C. Stallman, Chm.

"As I have stated before the city has many problems but fortunately one of them is not water. Therefore I see no reason to become involved in trying to solve someone else's problem. Page 3 September 4,.1963 "I feel I would not be keeping faith with the people who voted for me if I approved of this resolution. In my previous veto message I pointed out that the taxpayers have invested millions of dollars over a long period of time to develop our water system. The city is certainly not going to profit by the sale of water to outside areas. Furthermore it would be impossible to estimate how much more it would cost the city to enlarge their facilities to serve the outside areas. "I surmise that even if we annexed certain areas this could be costly to the city. However, I feel we have a moral obligation to annex any area that desires to become a part of the city.

October 28, 1963 PRESENT: Mayor - Ryan Aldermen - Murphy, Kilby, Rosica, Baldini, VanMarter, Webber, McNeill, Hagin, Baldwin, Stallman, Miller, Burns, Schmidt, Hart Attorney - Clynes Police Commissioner - Sullivan Planner - Niederksn Controller - Weinstein Clerk - Blean PUBLIC HEARING - LIBRARY SITE: Mayor Ryan announced that this special meeting had been called to hold a public hearing on a report on Library Site Analysis of Ithaca Associated Architects. Lie noted that because a large turn -out of interested persons had been anticipated the hearing had been scheduled here at Tompkins County Courthouse. The courtroom was filled to capacity and many others remained standing through the hearing. Mr. Wm. Downing, representing the Associated Architects, reviewed the site analysis, dated September 26, 1963, in detail. Fie then called on Mr. John Shaw, chief designer for the Architects, who evaluated the sites. Mr. Downing reviewed estimated net cost of acquisition of each site. Mayor Ryan then asked for views from the audience. Mr. Ronald Nordheimer, 117 Terrace Place, read a resolution by the Ithaca Jacees urging speed in selection of the best possible site. As an individual he expressed his concerns in the lack of leadership in the Council as well as in the newspapers. He stated he felt Ithaca was not progressive. Mr. David Saperstone, Cayuga Apartments, urged selection of a site soon and criticized what he termed a state of delay and confusion. Mr. Robert Hines, 211 Schuyler Place, expressed his fear that the library site had been made the sole objective of planning the Urban Renewal Project 1 area and might place the whole urban renewal program in jeopardy. Mr. James Buyoucos, 417 E. Buffalo Street, spoke to make clear the position of the Library Trustees. He noted that Trustees were interested in getting a new library as soon as possible on the best possible site and that many of its members were present ... tonight just like members of the Common Council to hear what the public had to say. He emphasized the fact at no time did the Trustees express any opinion about Urban Renewal. Fie stated that the Trustees had voted to accept the Architects' site analysis including its sequence of preference but realized full well that each site had advantages and disadvantages as pointed out, and that a good building could be built on any one of the four sites. The dominant issue he concluded is to get a library as early as possible and that this should not be jeopardized by quibbling over the selection of a site. John LoPinto, West Dryden, N.Y., spoke as a taxpayer in the city and urged disapproval of Site "A" because he felt the present buildings there are in good condition and that to acquire this site and build the library there would make the cost exhorbitant. He expressed his view that any one of the other sites recommended would be better from a financial viewpoint. Mr. Ralph C. Smith, 102 Oxford Place, urged approval of Site "B". Fie felt it would be less expensive that "A", larger than "C", and Closer to the business district than either "C" or "D". The advantages that apply to "A" also apply to"B" and it also in- cludes some property that is now tax-exempt. Mrs. Charles F. Kruger, Chairman of the Board of the Finger Lakes Library System, stated the system's lease of quarters at 419 W. Seneca Street will expire in 196S and urged prompt action on a new library to include space for the Finger Lakes Library System. She stated the System concurred with the Library Trustees' endorsement of the Architects' report. Several resolutions were read during the hearing urging fast action by the Council on the selection of a suitable site. These came from organizations including the Ithaca Womens' Club, American Assn. of University Women, and the Senior Citizens Council, all of which favored Site "A". Mr. John Marcham, 433 W. Buffalo Street, read a memorandum from Wm. Heidt, Curator of DeWitt Historical Society, urging selection of a site large enough to accommodate future expansion. Fie read another one from the Citizens for Good Education urging immediate construction on a site convenient to all Ithacans. Fie submitted a statement personally recommending immediate construction on any one of the sites or a site where the present Clinton Hotel is. Mr. Isadore Yavits, 11S Giles Street, recommended the vacant land in the l:'ood Street area as a site while Mr. George Lyon, 231 Ridgedale Road, proposed a study of the vacant N.Y.S. Electric $ Gas Corp. building on E. Green Street, and Joseph Jeffrey, Trumansburg Road, suggested the Reconstruction Home be used with the latter moving to a building near the Tompkins County Hospital. Page 2 October 28, 1963 Mr. Donald J. O'Connor, 32 Sapsucker Moods Road, urged that haggling over sites be stopped, that one be agreed upon and start construction of the library immediately. Mrs. Howard Spicer, 120 Utica Street, favored Site "A" or "B " as an alternate. Mrs. Bernice Weitzel, R.D.#3, favored "B" or "C". Mr. Wm. J. Water, a Library Trustee, expressed his hope that the Council would act promptly. Mrs. Florence Hoard, 42 Cornell Street, spoke for Friends of the Library and stated that this group had always worked for the Library and never asked where anybody lived. She expressed her hope that this is the spirit in which all should leave the hearing tonight. Rev. Warren E. Traub, a Library Trustee, expressed his confidence in the Council and the site analysis presented by the Associated Architects. Mayor Ryan indicated that he felt it was only a question of a selection of a "stable site for the Library and that he hoped that this would be settled very soon. He closed the public hearing by thanking all those who appeared to express their views on the matter at this time. The meeting was then adjourned. 1 Geo. A.

ON N N N N N N N N N M M Cc' G COMPENSATION PLAN RULES - CITY OF ITHACA (Subject to approval of Common Council) The salaries of all employees of the City of Ithaca covered by the Compen- sation Plan as adopted, and amended, shall be governed by the following rules: 1. NEW APPOINTEES A newly ire employee shall be paid the minimum rate of pay for his appointed grade, or a rate set by the Common Council. 2. ANNUAL WORK PERFORMANCE INCREMENTS Each employee with a minimum o six months service prior to the first day of the fiscal year, and receiving less than the maximum for his grade shall be con- sidered for a Performance Increment in each fiscal year until his rate reaches the maximum of his grade. This increment for the new fiscal year is neither automatic nor mandatory but depends on the over-all rating of each employee during the current year as summarized on his final Report of Performance Evaluation. At least two interim Reports (and more where feasible) shall be made, one for the first half year and the other for the second half year. Ratings for all such Reports shall be re- duced to the single Summary Report for the year. This Summary Report shall be com- pleted as near the beginning of the new fiscal year as is feasible to provide time for adequate review with employees, raters, and reviewers, and for consideration by the Common Council. If the rating of the employee is "outstanding" or "competent" in the Summary Report, he is thereby recommended for his Performance Increment for the new fiscal year. However, authority for final approval rests solely with the Common Council which shall consider all employee Reports in the light of pertinent matters, in- cluding financial status of the city. When granted by the Common Council, these increments shall take effect on the first day of the fiscal year. No employee is entitled to more than one such in- crement in and, one fiscal year. In addition to this Performance Increment an employee with "outstanding" rating on the Report of Performance Evaluation may be recommended for additional award to the Common Council by the Advisory Board as set forth in Section 14. 3. TRANSFERS aT�ployee is moved to another job in the same grade as at present there shall be no change in salary. If he is moved to a higher grade, this is a pro- motion and provisions governing promotions shall apply. If he is moved to a lower grade, this is a demotion and provisions governing demotions shall arnly. 4. PROMOTIONS In the event of the permanent promotion of an employee, his salary grade shall be changed to the grade set forth for the new position in the following manner: - 2 - The salary for the new rosition shall be the same as the employee was earning at the old position plus one sten 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 performance increment January 1 of the following year. If however, the Permanent Promotion takes Place on July 1 or after of any year he will not be eligible for Performance increment until January 1 of the secone year following. In other words he must demonstrate his abilities as a permanent employee in the new job for over six months before becoming_ elis-ible for a performance increment. Provisional Promotions do not carry this Promotional increment. These provisions shall apply alike to employees on annual rates and hourly rates. EXAMPLE: A man working on Grade 18 Step 4 or $4558.00 is nromoted to Grade 21. His new salary will be $4558.00 plus one horizontal step or $4740.00, The new salary will start at once upon the promotion becoming permanent. 5. DEMOTIONS 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 Douncil. 6. RECLASSIFICATIONS DOWNWARD When an emp ogee s jo is reclassified to a lower 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. 6A RECLASSIFICATION UP11ARDS R�here an employee's job is reclassified to a higher grade by one line, that any performance increment clue and recommended be granted. Where an employee's job is reclassified to a higher grade by two or more lines, that the reclassification shall be considered in lieu of any increment for that year. 7. REINSTATED EMPLOYEES A reinstated employee shall be paid at a rate within the proper range for the position and grade in which he is reinstated, such rate to be set by the Common Council. 8. PART TIME EMPLOYMENT When employment is on 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 more per week are eligible for annual performance increments, but employees working less than twenty hours are not eligible for such increments. -3- 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 times regular hourly rates. Ordinary overtime shall be paid at a straight -time basis. 10, SALARIES EXCEEDING MAXIM An employee presently receiving more than the maximum 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 in- crease or increment, except those provided by longevity. 11. LONGEVITY INCREMENT An employee serving more than 10, 15, or 20 years shall be considered for the Longevity Increment beyond the established maximum rates for his grade. Such an increment is not automatic or mandatory but is recommended if the over- all rating in the summary of all interim Reports on Performance Evaluation, as outlined in Section 2 is "competent" or "outstanding." Authority for final approval rests with the Common Council. If an employee is rated "improvement needed" or "unsatisfactory," he loses credit for one year of service for the respective fiscal year for purposes of calculating longevity. In any one fiscal year, an employee may not be considered for both a longevity increment and a work performance increment nor for more than one longevity increment. In determining eligibility, the employeest total uninterrupted service is the determining factor, not only his length of service at the present grade. Involuntary time off, such as prolonged illness, military service, authorized leave of absence, temporary layoffs, do not constitute a break in service, although such time off does not accumulate in determining total years of city service, except in the case of Veterans, when federal regulations applicable shall apply.. 12. PROVISIONAL EMPLOYEE Provisional employees are not eligible for performance increments except upon recommendation by department head, and approval by the Common Council. 13. CHANGES IN TNCREMENTS All changes in increments within a grade, and all promotional increments of employees in departments under the control of the Common Council, shall be approved by the Common Council, 14. ADVISORY COM11ITTEE The Advisory Committee shall be comprised of three department or division heads appointed by the Common Council for one year terms. At least two additional department heads shall be appointed by the Council to serve as alternates in the event that a regular member of the committee is unavailable or disqualified. A member is disqualified if one of his department employees is being considered by the Committee. -4- Reports of Performance Evaluation with "outstanding" rating are auto- matically referred to the Advisory Committee for its recommendation to the Common Council as to nature and size of award. Any employee with an interim or summary Report of Performance Evaluation indicating an over-all rating of "improvement needed" or "unsatisfactory" may request a review by this Committee provided he has completed the steps for review of his Report with his supervisor(s) and department head as explained in the Work Performance Evaluation Plan. His request to this Committee must be in writing with a copy to his department head within seven calendar days immediately following his receipt of the review decision from his department head. The department head must furnish to the Committee: a) Copy of the employeets Report. b) Copy of the employee's request to his supervisor for review, with reasons. c) Copy of review decision from department head. The committee shall limit its review to the evidence as presented in items a, b, and c of the preceding paragraph. The Committee must give opportunity for both employee and department head to discuss the Report and supporting record. It must render its decision in writing to the employee, with a copy to the department head within seven calendar days immediately following its receipt of the request. It's decision may confirm, raise, or lower the rating in the Report. 15. Attached hereto and made a. part of this Compensation Plan is a form of "Report of Performance Evaluation" which is to be used to evaluate the employees performance and work. The Common Council may from time to time change the form, make amendments or additions thereto or add supplements thereto to be used specifically for the Fire, Police, Board of Public ?°rorks or other Departments. Copies of any changes of form are to be sent to the employees concerned. ?STORK PERFORMANCE EViLUATION PLAN - CITY OF ITHACA, N.Y. (Subject to approval of Cormon Council) MEANS THAT Employees receive recognition for good performance Employees are aided in improving their present performance and in preparing .for promotion, Employees and supervisors gain a clearer idea of their mutual work relation- ships. "Gripes" are cleared up before they have a chance to become worse. Employees know what is being reported of them and their work to the "top management " Supervisors have been furnished with an important tool to improve supervisory techniques, training, communications and morale, GENERAL INFORMATION FOR EMPLOYEES j�Tork Performance Evaluation is not just a once -a -year affair, 14bl ether you realize it or not your work performance is being rated continually. Every day you work, every job you do gives your supervisor a chance to observe how well you perform ,your duties, IATork Performance Evaluation procedures are designed to get down on paper a record of your significant performances so that your supervisor can be guided by the facts and not rely on memory. They are also intended to help him carry out his rating function as objectively as possible. IATith the use of these pro- cedures the effects of "personalities" can be eliminated, Two procedures that we believe will help to keep the evaluations or ratings in line with the facts are: 1. Writing out just what we mean by 'outstanding„ competent, improvement needed, unsatisfactory" and how arrived at in the Report of Performance Evaluation. 2. Arranging for you and your supervisor to discuss your work performance freely, fairly, frankly and objectively, To sum it up - the chief aim of this program is to let you know just how you are getting along on .your job and to help you get along even better in the future. The Report of Performance Evaluation which is an integral part of this pro- gram, provides for interim and summary ratings through use of various major factors each supported by several specific work categories, Narrative comments should be made wherever possible and must be made when ovf;r-all rating is "out- standing," "improvement needed," or "unsatisfactory," All supervisors must participate in the preparation of the Reports, All Reports must be' sgned by the immediate supervisor, the next higher supervisor or supervisors, if any, and the department head. Where an employee has only one supervisor the Report may not be considered complete until reviewed and signed also by the Personnel Consultant. When raters and reviewers have significant differences they must ft - 2 - be clearly stated on the Report with examples, but the department head shall have the majority weight when there are differences. Your over-all evaluation or rating is based upon a fair and reasonable consideration of the various factors as they affect your work: quality and quantity of work, work habits, work interest, relationships with people, re- source`alness and initiative, "other," and supervisory ability, Where factors do not fit your work they are omitted, Where supplemental work factors are needed to rate your work adequately they become an integral part of the Report of Performance Evaluation, When advised of any interim or summary over-all rating, you receive a copy of the Report which then furnishes a common ground for objective and constructive discussion of your work performance. If you believe any interim or summary Report in which you are rated "im- provement needed" or "unsatisfactory" is not in line with the facts, you are en- couragea. to discuss your Report further with your supervisor or supervisors as a desirable, frierr�_'Ly, constructive., and informal routine. If this still does not resolve the jrc,&llem you may, within seven calendar days immediately follow- ing the notification of your rating, make a request in writing together with reasons, to your immediate supervisor for a further review of .your Report of Performance Review. You may then review your Report in person with all those who have signed the Report. A review decision must be rendered and confirmed to you by the department head in writing within seven calendar days from receipt of your request. If you believe the review decision is not in line with the facts you may request a review by the Advisory Committee as outlined in Section 14 of the Ithaca Compensation Plan Rules. An interim Report of Performance Evaluation shall be completed for each employee not less than twice each calendar year. Likewise a Summary Report shall be completed prior to the beginning of the new fiscal year with sufficient time for additional review with ,your supervisors and department head if desired. In addition a Report must be completed each month for each probationary employee, for each employee whose latest rating is "unsatisfactory," and for each employee when changing jobs or leaving city employment. TO RATERS AND REVIEWERS As a supervisor in your daily duties you are continually weighing the evidence as to how effective your workers are doing their jobs, In his work an employee will usually meet,, exceed or fall short of what .you reasonably expect of him. As a result of weighing the evidence you assign him one of the four over-all ratings of the Report of Performance Evaluation. Use of the Report provides a much sounder basis for rating then reliance on memory and unwritten records. In rating an employee under this program simply put into action your know- ledge of the work duties to be performed., the manner in which they should be performed, and how well they are being performed by the employee. Performance evaluations or ratings fairly determined on the basis of actual work require- ments followed by frank and constructive discussion of the employees actual work performance will foster mutual understanding between you and the employees .you supervise, e -3 - Actual recording of the employee's over-all rating is simple. However, before you begin you should first be sure you are thoroughly familiar with the various work factors indluded in the Report of Performance Evaluation, also any supplemental factors which become part of the Report. Likewise .you should be thoroughly familiar with the information under the title, "Definitions of Over -All work Performance Factors," which appears later. Allowance should be made for the new employee or special circumstances. Written comments should be used freely and must be used as set forth on the Report of Performance Evaluation. Objectivity is more easily attained by narrative comments based on written records made during the course of the rating period. Give examples of work well done as well as work deficiencies. Give specific plans for improving performance together with a schedule for follow-up. You should supply any statement you think is specially descriptive of an employee's performance in the job. Your efforts to describe an employee's work performance will define more clearly your evaluation of him and help you in assigning him a rating which neither under -rates nor over -rates his perfor- mance, As a supervisor you should aim to encourage discussion of work performance with your workers at all times during the period covered by the Report and not Just during the few days prior to and immediately following its completion. Job or work performance standards should be based on the tasks of the job and not on the rating factors in the Report of Performance Evaluation. Your work standards should be made known continuously to each employee. You should make certain that each employee has a clear understanding of them. Ordinarily very few employees, even in a large work group, will be either outstanding or definitely unsatisfactory and unfit workers, DEFINITIONS OF OVER-ALL 'STORK PERFORMANCE FACTORS As used in the Work Performance Rating Program, the over-all ratings have the following meanings: "OUTST PUDING ►r Performance is consistently and substantially above the requirements of the job in all respects throughout the year. Genuine "outstanding" performance on the part of an employee must tend to be somewhat unusual due to the fact that the employee does not normally receive an opportunity to work on extraordinary or especially difficult assignments greatly beyond the regular demands of his position. Therefore, "outstanding" means performance far above the level of work normally required of an employee in that position. This rating in his summary Report recommends an employee for Work Performance increment and such other award as approved by the Common Council. "COMPETENT" Performance consistently meets requirements of the job in a satisfactory manner throughout the rating period, _ 4 Performance produces what can reasonably be expected of a well qualified employee in the title. Performance gives evidence of increased effectiveness over previous periods, if any. In some areas of his total work, his performance is consistently at a level above such requirements. Such a worker will very often do a better job than might be expected of a fully competent person in the title. In evaluating the employee against the requirements, allowance should be made for new employees, working conditions, variation in kind and condition of facilities and equipment, and the like. This rating in his summary Report recommends an employee for Work Performance increment. d• ne Performance does not meet minimum requirements of the job as substantiated by the detailed Report of Performance Evaluation. Performance is below average expected of his work group, has not improved commensurate with his length of service and remains below the minimum require- ments. Performance indicates the necessity for such improvement as additional skill, speed, better attendance, job interest, work habits, initiative and the like. This rating is indicative of a positive need for a series of prompt, frank and constructive discussions between employee and supervisor regarding de- ficiencies in his work, together with specific suggestions and plans for effect- ing improvement. If there is insufficient visible improvement in the indicated deficiencies after a reasonable time, and after due warning to the employee, consideration should be given to a transfer to other duties more suitable to his abilities, or consideration of demotion or other corrective action. Employee may not be placed in this rating more than one year unless the rating is unanimously approved by all raters and reviewers on his Report of Work Performance Evaluation. This rating in his summary Report results in the withholding of a performance increment or loss of credit for one year toward longevity increment. Likewise the appointing officer may not appoint him to a promotional position until the rating on his Report of Work Performance Evaluation shall have become a higher rating. "UNSATISFACTORY" Performance is consistently below the minimum requirements of the job, is characterized by consistent weakness and deficiency in his work and fails to respond adequately to training and correction. i � 5 - His performance is deficient for reasons substantiated by the Report of Performance Evaluation with its written statement listing deficiencies with specific examples demonstrating the nature and seriousness of his unsatisfactory performance, This rating is indicative of a positive need for a series of prompt, frank and constructive discussions between employee and supervisor regarding de- ficiencies in his work together with specific suggestions and plans for effect- ing improvement. If there is insufficient visible improvement in the indicated deficiencies after a reasonable time and after due warning to the employee, consideration should be given to demotion, dismissal and/or other corrective action. This rating in his summary Report results in the withholding of a perfor- mance increment or loss of credit for one year toward longevity increment. Like- wise the appointing officer may not appoint him to a promotional position during the ensuing fiscal year. REPORT CF PERFORMANCE EVALUATION - INTERIM U SUMMARY Ll CITY OF ITHACA, N.Y.

It will have to be in the same location for many years to come and it is important to select the right snot. You aldermen have a right to express your opinion. I certainly, as Mayor, have the same privilege. ye were s,ivei-i a choico of four locations and told any one of the four would be suitable. I honestly beliDve that Sitc C is the best of the four locations. I am sorry if the _aldermen feel I am only delaying the building of a new library. However, I would not be doing my job conscientiously if I agreed to accent the site you have Just selected, when actually I hc:.vo always favored Site C because of the traffic pattern in that area, parking, close to the business district, schools, churches, etc. Very truly yours, San.

The Comnensation Advisory Committee met on December 20, 1963. The annual review provided for in the Comnensation Plan Rules resulted in the following recommendation: The Comnensation Advisory Committee recommends that the Common Council award a Certificate of Merit to JOHN DOUGHERTY of the Denartment of Public works in recognition of outstanding work done during 1963. 2, This marks the third ,year that the Outstanding Emnloyee "Merit Award has been in effect. Exnerience in this regard, gained during the nast three years, and through discussion by this committee, resulted in the following motion: WHEREAS, it is extremely difficult to document without bias what is truly outstanding service to the City of Ithaca by a city emnloyee; and, WHEREAS, it is felt that an employee who is granted a cash award for meritorious service, even though this is thoroughly deserved, is liable to be subjected to derision and ridicule by fellow employees, making the award of questionable value; and, WHEREAS, this committee is unable to make objective judgments on the basis of ratings submitted by department heads, thereby leading to possible resentment by those employees who are nominated by denartment heads but not recommended by this committee or the Council; and, THEREFORE, the Comnensation Advisory Committee recommends that the Outstanding Employee Merit Award be discontinued in the future and that outstanding service be rewarded by appropriate advancement in the regular comnensation nlan. It is further recommended that employees be encouraged to make suggestions to department heads regarding improving safety, cutting costs, increasing efficiency of service, and so forth, and that suitable awards be made on the basis of the value of these suggestions. Page 4 December 30, 1963 3. It has come to the attention of this committee that the compensation plan of the City of Ithaca, although generally commendable, has certain inequities in operation.
