"In conversations last week between members of the Urban Renewal Agency and the Region I Office of the Department of Housing and Urban Development in New York City, it became clear that some immediate and decisive moves are necessary if these vital Programs are to continue in Ithaca. "The City's biggest weakness in its ability to deal with the Workable Program for the Community Improvement, and urban development in general, has been the lack of a pro- fessional in city government to coordinate the activities of all departments as they affect this Program. It has become clear to the Urban Renewal Agency and to this committee that our renewal program and the housing project stand little chance of moving without such a person. "The Workable Program touches all departments in city government. It requires a man knowledgeable in government and in Urban Renewal to coordinate and direct these activities. We have such a man in Richard Daley, who is Urban Renewal Director now. He has agreed to undertake the additional responsibilities of coordinating the Workable Program, code enforcement, planning, zoning, and Urban Renewal as Administrative Consultant to the Mayor, to whom he will report directly. "The contract outline prepared by the City Attorney will define the terms of this agree» ment." Mr. Shew, a member of the Urban Renewal Agency, reviewed in detail all events of recent days which led up to this meeting including the fact that Mr. Daley had tendered his resignation to the Agency about ten days ago to accept an executive director's position in California. He urged the City to act favorably on the proposal to hire Mr. Daley as an Consultant at an additional expense to the City of $4000.00. He felt that the pro- posed contractual arrangement between the City and Mr. Daley is a "tenuous" one but felt also that once Mr. Daley shows how much progress is made under the new setup that the Council will take action to establish a position with this authority as a permanent part of city government. Copies of an outline agreement, prepared by the City Attorney, were distributed to the aldermen and reviewed (copy of the outline agreement attached to the minutes) . After some further discussion it was acted upon as follows: By Alderman Rundle: seconded by Alderman Stal]man RESOLVED, the Mayor is hereby authorized to execute a contract for Administrative Con- & ° sultant services with Richard Daley, said agreement to contain the provisions outlined above. AYES: 13 NAYS: 0 Carried and approved by the Mayor. On motion the meeting was adjourned. ; Geoff��.

He requested that if the franchise is rene :-ed with the present holder that the Corporation should be required to divest it- self of these interests within a period of 3 years. Alderman Saccucci felt that a clause should be included in the new franchise to provide for its reopening once each year for negotiations if necessary.

They included additions or amendments to various parts of Sections 9, 11 and 12. Mr. Arthur J. Golder, a former Building Commissioner, appeared and protested the pro 7 ) posed amendments. He felt they would tend to require more people to appeal to the Board 7. ) of Zoning Appeals for variances, that they would be an invasion of private property c•:yrers' rights, would create many hardships, in some cases were arbitrary and capritious, and in other cases make it impossible to comply with the ordinance. Little if anythloq 1Lould be accomplished by their adoption he asserted. Mr. Stuart Stein appeared and supported the proposed amendments as being in the public interest.

Freeman, City Attorney RE: Legal Aspects of Festival Financing DATE: June 1, 1966 At the request of the Common Council I have looked into the legal questions involved in the proposed partial financing of the multi-use auditorium and theater on the- old Municipal Airport site. As part of the study, requests for rulings thereon have been obtained from the New York State Department of Audit and Control and from Sykes, Galloway and Dikeman, the bonding attorneys for the City of Ithaca. I have filed with the City Clerk copies of the pro- posed financing plan for this facility, opinion letters from the Department of Audit and Control and our bonding attorneys, my preliminary report on the legal aspects of this question to the Finance Committee and this memorandum. These are open for inspection by any of the Aldermen or interested citizens. Without going into the legal technicalities, many of which are detailed in the above mentioned opinions, the City would construct a basic auditorium and stage facility to form a part of a general cultural and recreational development. Such construction would be financed by the City and ownership of the facility retained by the City. The facility would then be used in cooperation with the Ithaca Festival of the Classics, Inc. , a private organiza- tion. In addition to financing a part of the cost through issuance of the City' s bonds, the City would accept cash contributions from this private corporation and would enter into lease agreements with Cornell University, Ithaca College and/or the Finger Lakes Association of Colleges and the Ithaca Festival of the Classics, Inc. by which each of these organizations would have use of the facilities during pre- scribed periods. A further contract with the Ithaca Festival of the Classics, Inc. would provide for its management and maintenance of the building throughout the year. Construc- tion of future additions to the facility would be financed privately but upon completion these would become the property A AdO�:. �AdOO A11.r°. Ll t.... _. 'Od3X p OLf3X. 'tti J.x � � f „ C1TY� A. ", _ 2 _ Ju 11 1 ,666 of the City. Litt kA.A.Ait It is clear that the City has the authority to establish and maintain such a facility under the laws of the State of New York. The City may bond $700,000.00 in ordinary serial bonds to finance this project. If the facility is self-sustaining, the amount of the bonded indebt- edness may be excluded from its debt limit, the amount of the indebtedness and debt service which is annually reimbursed through leases, contracts or otherwise. With regard to the use of the facility by Ithaca Festival of the Classics, Inc. , Cornell University and re- lated groups, such leases for specified times and for reason- able consideration which would not result in the exclusion of the public, or contracts w fh'..such organizations to provide cultural and recreational presentations would be valid, pro- vided that these leases and contracts met the requirements of the General City Law with regard to public bidding. It was suggested by the Controller of the State of New York that in order to clear up any questions with regard to the leases and contracts contemplated for the use of the facility, that special legislation from Albany be obtained specifically authorizing the City to enter into such leases and contracts. This possibility is being pursued through the Tompkins County representative in the Assembly, Constance Cook. Because of the imminent adjournment of the Legislature, it is possible that such legislation might not be available for passage until next January but every effort v.s=:-being made to draft and have passed by both houses such a bill prior to adjournment. It therefore appears that it will be legal for the City to participate in the financing of the Ithaca Festival as outlined above. Now that the question of the legality of the proposal has been cleared up, the much more important policy question as to whether or not such a plan would be in the best interests of the City is squarely up to the Common Council. I would' support Mr. Bangs' proposal for a public hearing on this question as a vehicle to inform the public of the ramifications of this financing plan as well as to provide a forum for the Council as a whole to hear the opinions of any interested citizens or organizations. lg Page 5 June 1 , 1966 By Alderman Baldwin: seconded by Alderman Stallman RESOLVED, that foregoing amendment be referred to the Charter & Ordinance Committee for study and report: and that the City Clerk be authorized and directed to advertise a public hearing thereon to be held by the Council at 7:30 p.m. on July 6, 1966.

NOTE : The following statements , etc. , wE3f �apq prtiQ�- xv, u"�lr�g:"fin t'fte "for*pink bond resolution: + Alderman Stallman presented and read a written statement on the subject as follows : 'TO THE COMMON COUNCIL : j At ;,-)on on Saturday, September 24th, ;966, 1 was called to a joint meeting of the Finance Committee and the Urban Renewal Committee. I was asked why and how di-agreed wits the figures as to the cost to the City of the proposed acquis- iticn of the three properties on Bloc!:: 204 , namely Cutting Motors , Cayuga Motors and the Stallman Garage. ` '' ga�:�z� the meeting the information I had together with my reasons for believing som3 •of their figures were not realistic. I was asked to leave the meeting so that they could determine what figures they wished to give the public without x � embarerassment to me or the committleee. I believe the members of the Common Council now have the figures. There are two points upon which I disagree - First - I believe the three properties are worth more than the figures use t," but probably this point cannot be resolved until there is a deA1'on from the courts . I assume the Council is prepared to pay any extra costs. Second- I believe the proposed assessment for taxes on the new structure are optomistic. Certainly there will be discu:;3ions between the developer and the City Assessor as to the fair and equitable assessment. q �'_le S e�';in as one of the displaced P 9 p pc.-stns all 1 can add is please give us ever y' Y bit cf time possible before forcing us out so that we may have at least a fair chance at re-establishing our respective businesses. As a citizen and taxpayer, , E I am opposed. Alderm4an Saccucci likewise presented and read a statd*nt as follows : ") don 't expect to give a sermon. I ' ll leave that to Harold, but I do want to , clarify my position on the Bond Resolution. A week ago, 'voted negative for the bond resolution because the report of he Finance N*Attee was incomplete. I believe, it is the policy of this Cob3i l when eO pre refer a matter to a committee we expect a unified report. This was not east Wednesday night. Consequently, I had no alternative. Now the the report of cost figures and nue estimates for the Woolworth block has LbOdi presented, I firmly believe the ***Ort is explicit and clear and I feel ' that tl public in general now has been well 1 informed. also:4ant to make public that I am not committed to anyone. I have one obliga- tion a,l#ne-to the City of Ithaca and only for the welfare of this entire community." +le asked what ii the legality of an abstaining vote , In answer, Attorney Freeman ruled an abstaining vote would not count and that at least ten affirmative votes would be required to pass the bond resolution. y' Alderman Hunt asked several questions which were answered by Mr. Daley, Urban Renewal Dir- ector -as fo 1 1 ows : - Q: If the property owners (Stallman, Cutting & Brown) are not condemned would they receive mgving expenses? `A: Yes, owners and tenants both. They would not lose their rights through condemnation. ) Q: Have any of the three presented any plans for relocation? ''BOA: Yes? Mr. "=red Brown proposed a plan, the details of which have not beta revealed. It J was= referred to the Planning Board. Q: Is :it your opinion that it should be followed and expedited? A: Yes,,._ �c 1� you fee.: 'there is any way in which development of the area can be blocked? 4 4 SepterrtWr 28, 1966 'Asked about a timetable for relocation after acquisition .bV_,,4jther the developer or the City, Mr. Daley predicted it could be as long as i8 months from now if suitable negotiations can !,e worked out with the developer. Alderman ToIIes asked Mr. Daley if fie felt there was any way in which the owners; wbd d. be placed in a worse: Position r,y reason of the City acquiring? their property this way rather than through Ur!,,-,,n Renewal . Mr. D-ley answered that time would be the only thin that could be gained !,y them. Alderman Barrett then presented and reed .-� statement as follows: It Yesterday, Jack Clynes, Romeo Rosica and I made an appointment for Jim Ciaschi to meet with Dick Daley for discussion :7ind so that "Big Jim" would have a char understanding of what he would ;et under Urban Renewal . We had an extremely con- s...„ structive discussion. So constructive in fact, that Jim introduced two alternative formal proposals for a relocation on the west side of Cayurya Street. Apparently . this was the first time that Jim and Dick Daley had been able to get together to sit down and talk. Jim apparently wants some kind of written assurance that he can relocate on the west side of C yuga Street. We all made it clear to him that 19a.."fastest way for him to get this assurance was to submit a plan to the Urban Rea10 Agency and get preferred sponsorship. Dick and the rest of us assured him th,-t the Urban Renewal Agency and the Common Council certainly feel a definite committment toward helping those displaced t.y Ur!-an Renewal to relocate and that we could see no reason why if he put a reasonalle plan together that he could not get in on the west side of Cayuga Street which Jim a(ireed would be a better location than his present site. Jim was very enthusiastic and we discussed the possibility of encour- aging others in Jim's block to participate with him in a development in this area. We stand ready to do all we can to help promote a plan of this type. It seems to me that if some others in this Hock alone; with Mr. Ciaschi , could see the opportunity for them, that they could get together and present a plan that would quickly fill up this block and which would be very favorably received by the Urban Renewal Agency which is anxious to do something for those displaced by Urban Renewal . But until plans are presented nothing can be done! The Urban Renewal Agency has many services that can be provided the prospective developer without cost and I suggest that these possibilities be investigated. would be most glad to do anything I can to encourage such a development. „ On Motion the Meeting was Adjourned.

Blanchard, Executive Director of the Housing Authority, appeared before the Council , and submitted a revised Development Program for housing projects for the elderly and low-income families and recommended approval thereof. They explained that due to excessive land acquisition costs and site planning difficulties on the original Hancock Street site, the area had been re-evaluated and the project boundaries changed to avoid these two pitfalls. In addition, an eight (8) acre parcel hereafter called the Park Street site had been added to the program. These two sites comprise a total land area of 11 .55 acres at a total estimated site cost of $2500000.00. They presented and reviewed the following report thereon : Improvements - The Housing Authority proposes to build garden apartments and row houses on the two sites in the following combinations : Hancock Street - Approximately 68 row houses to be occupied by low-income families and individuals. Park Street - Approximately 100 garden apartments for the elderly and 52 for low- income families. In addition to the dwelling units, the Authority plans to construct a community center on the Park Street site. This center will contain the following facilities and will be open to the entire neighborhood: �j Public Health Clinic J Meeting facilities for groups such as the Senior Citizens and the Boy Scouts %.� Day Nursery for children of working mothers. One parking space will be provided for each family unit. The Authority will ask for an exception to the parking requirement for units designed for elderly occupants. Density - 19 units per acre Estimated Building Cost - $2 ,856,000for dwelling structures; $173 ,000 for community Space. Relocation - The adjustment of the Hancock Street site reduces, the re-lo cati'bfn work l p s 1 'bus i nes s 1 1 relocation. I t is- estimated that approximately. 50 percent of these persons are-.el igible for relocation into a low-rent project. Budget - The total- budget including administration, fees, for architects, etc'. ; and costs;" improvements and relocation is $4,070,000. This figure covers a development period of 2 .5 years. Management - Average gross rents are estimated at $55.00, per month. Units for the elderly will be somewhat lower. Units for families may be somewhat higher. Rents are required by law to be at least 20 percent lower than the lowest rents for standard units of comparable size in the private market. Both projects will be tax exempt under the terms of the Cooperation Agreement but the Authority will make a payment in lieu of taxes to the city. This payment is to be distributed proportionately to the three taxing bodies . At the present time, tax revenues from the Hancock Street and Park Street sites amount to $6,600 per year. -?The Autho•ri-ty's payment will be approximately $10,560 per year. r Zoning !- All requirements of the Zoning Ordinance will be met with the exception of the parking reduction for the elderly. App roc i ma to 'Date of B i d -: September, 1967 Approximate Date of Occupancy - September 1968 By Alderman Saccucci : seconded by Alderman Tolles RESOLVED, that the Council hereby approves the revised Hancock Street Site and the Park Street site and the development program for public housing projects on these two sites as presented and recommended by the Ithaca Housing Authority. : The Clerk .read a petition, containing 99 signatures, from taxpayers lof the: Titus Flats area requesting the Council to table, the low-cost housing development on the Park Street site and furnish more information thereon to the public for discussion. 1 ,54 -8- November 2, 1966 Mr. Joseph J . Moore, 706 South Plain Street , spoke in opposition to it on behalf of a large grouP .of property owners and residents from this area who were present. He indicated hits. group was not opposed to providing housing for the elderly at the site but were definite],, opposed to a housing project for low-income families there. Mr. Joseph ;\earney spoke on behalf of the various Veterans' groups and urged that the Council continue its efforts to purchase the vacant land at the corner of Wood & Meadow from the City School district for use as a park. He called attention to the action taken by the Council recently to name this area Veterans ' Park in anticipation of acquiring title to i t. . Mr. Pat Porter, manager of the Plaza Motel , as well as others present wondered about the effect additional children in this area might have on the neighborhood and he asked who would be responsible for any damages that might be caused by children of low-income families. Mr. Kiely c-ld Mrs . Blanchard both promised that the Housing Authority would have the re- sponsibility for running the project and would exert its authority in selecting who goes in there and their supervision , including the supervision of their children. Mr. Kiely urged approval of the site based on a responsibility he felt the Authority had to find homes for Flood Control and Urban Renewal displacees who are unable to buy homes with the fair market prices received for their existing homes. Alderman Barrett and Tolles felt the City was committed to furnishing these housing facilities or face the lack of contifrued approval of the City's Workable Program which is deemed essential to the success of the Urban Renewal Program'. Mayor Johns suggested than the City should concern itself with housing for the elderly only at this time and wait and see where the City stands in the matter of housing for the low-income group. He expressed a fear that landlords in the city mdy 'wind up with vacant apartments on their hands. Alderman Bangs felt he needed more time in which to continue his study and visit housing projects in other nearby cities. Alderman HuJhes and Bangs felt the matter should be tabled for at least two weeks for further information and that a public hearing should be held thereon. By Alderman Hughes : seconded by Alderman Bangs RESOLVED', t,,at' the motion to approve the revised Hancock and the Park Street site be tabled. After some discussion the tabling motion and original motion were both withdrawn in favor of a further discussion of the matter at a public hearing to be held on November .16th.

Motors' proposal for the use of the Wood Street park area which is presently o+,;m ed by the Board of Education. No specific action was taken on the recommend- ation. CONDUCT OF MEETINGS : Alderman Saccucci felt that some Council meetings were too long and recommended the adoption of rules governing their conduct which would , among other things, limit speakers asking to be heard by the Council to five minutes time. Alderman Clynes felt the need of some type of public address system for the Council Chamber. by Alderman Barrett : seconded by Alderman Bands RESolved, that the Charter & Ordinance Committee be requested to study and review all aspects of the conduct of Council meetings, including the need of a public address system, and prepare rules governing their future conduct for consideration and adoption by the Council . n Carried On Motion the meeting was adjourned. f eo.

Kiely, Chairman of the Housing Authority, eevfewed the Authority's development program for the Park Street site as presented to the Council on "November 2nd, and Mrs. Blanchard reviewed the site plans. i. .. Mr. Kiely reported-that •the .Authority, dormant for several years, had been reactl1veted in 1965 w'-.en the Mayor requested it to make a study of housing needs for the City and to presb t its recommendations for action. He noted that the plan proposed had been pme- ,,scnted to `and."approved by the Planning Board, the Mayor's Citizens Advisory Committee and Ether`inter tted civic groups.

After.a .five-minute recess, ,.declared by Mayor Johns, the meeting was reconvened at 9:30 P-I Alderman Tolles presented the following resolution and stated the Housing Authority wished it put to a vote. By A]('- rman Tolles: seconded by Alderman Baldwin: V-EREAS, the Common Council has executed a Cooperation Agreement with the Ithaca Housing Authority fo'r 300 units of low-rent public housing Including therein 120 'units for the elderly, , and WHEREAS, the Housing Authority has prepared a Development Program for 220 of said units including 108, for the elderly, and WHEREAS, the sites for said units are (1) the Park Street s i to and (2) the Hancock Street site, all as set forth in the Development Program, and WHEREAS, the total budget for said project is $4,329,718.00, NCW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED, that the Common Council approves the Park Street site and the Hancock Street site for housing for the elderly and low-income families as set forth in the Development Program at a total proposed cost of $4 ,329,718.00. Aldermen Tolles called attention to the fact that the Council had delegated responsibility to the Authority to attempt to solve the City's housing needs and the Authority had been working toward this goal for the past two years, and further, that the Council in July 1965 and April 1966 had authorized these housing units. Mr. Tolles felt the proposal was the Authority's best judgment arrived at after long and diligent hours of work and he urged approval thereof. Mrs. Blanchard spoke{ on the following points: 1) Diversity of open space. She pointed out that at present the site is zoned R-3 which -fould permit a" private developer to put many more units per acre on the site with le,. open space left than the Authority planned. 2) Screening & selection. The Authority can select the people to occupy these units and thEy can be discredited, on the basis of desirability alone, she stated, and it will be possible to evict tenants without recourse to a Court. Order. 3) Tenant turn-over: she felt the tenant turn-over on a national basis, which had been quoted earlier at between 30 and 35% was not true. She indicated it to be 62%. 4) Property values: She advised statistics show that public housing projects cause no affect whatsoever on adjacent property valuations. -3- November )6, )966 In answer to a ques't'ion, Mrs. Blanchard stated that the Elderly and the low-income projects can be. separated geographically but that combined financing_ mus.t, be kept to average out the costs. Alderman Gangs asked if the following vacant lands in the city had been considered: 1) A 50-100 acre area adjacent to the West Side House in the R. R. loop area. 2) End of Third Street, beyond Grossmans' Lumber Company, estimated at several . acres. 3) A block in the rear of the A & P Store. 4), A section of the present Fairgrounds 5) The bird sanctuary. He requested that the Authority review these areas. , Mrs.. Blanchard advised that they had already been checked but that she would be glad to• have .tbem rechecked as requested. Alderman Bangs then stated he was not opposed to`housing for the Elderly or for the low- income -but felt they should not be together. F'rgm my observations, he continued, " I feel they should be separated by putting the elder•Fy only on the Park Stree=t Site and low-income in the Hancock ,S-treet site." Alderm an Tolle ,e.xpressed himself as beingrSti red of approving things in principle but re- fusintw act hen they reach specifics. He strongly urged that the City go :atlead with the Authority's proposal without further delay. CTJ Alderman Hunt spoke on the following: b �D 1) . The Wood-Meadow Street park area is presently owned by the City School District which has indicated it will not be sold to the City for any commercial enterprises. V 2) The City has ample parks - lets ;keep them. 3) He cautioned the Authority to make ample soil tests in the Park •Street`site before undertaking. any ,construction there. He feared" additional .costs from this Angle, 4) He expressed a doubt about being able to negotiate with Mr. Risner. 5) He asked if it would be possible to have public housing if low-income is separated from Elderly in the Park Street site. Mrs. Blanchard indicated it would be possible but that i't would be bad planning to increase the density ori• the Hancock Street site where the most need for open space and play areas would be needed. 6) ` In conclusion, Mr. Hunt stated he could not support the proposal unless low-income was eliminated from the Park Street site. By Alderman Bangs : seconded by Alderman Hunt 0 RESOLVED, that the ' res'olution under discussion to approve the Authority' s development program for the Park Street site and the Hancock Street site be amended.by stipulating I that the housing for• the Elderly only be approved for the Park Street site; and that housing for low-income families be approved for the Hancock Street site and/or other 'Sal sites in the City. Alderman' Toltes�e essed displeasure at the amendment. He felt it was not what the Authori.ty had b1°'-authorized to do and that it was poor policy for the Council to change its authorization'._ He termed this amateur planning and an excuse for not acting. Both he and Alderman Barrett argued against the amendment. After some further discussion, Alderman Hart requested a roll call vote on the amendment and it resulted as follows : AYES: 8 -- Clynes, Macali , Rosica, Bangs, Hughes, Rundle, Hunt, Hart NAYS: 5 -- Saccucci , Baldwin, Yavits, Barrett , Tolles.

COMPENS!WON PLAN - 1967: Alderman Stallman read a report of the Finance Committee on the subject aft follows: COMPENSATION PLAN REPORT DECEMBER 7, 1966 The Finance Committee wishes to thank the special committee, comprised of Mssrs. sel Dingman and Daley, for its excellent cooperation and for the great amount of detail wo1 that it did, in connection with the 1967 broposed Compensation Plan. 1 . Every job in the City government has been reassessed both as to skills, etc. , required and the relative positions in the normal proceedure of promotion incentives. 2. Every job has also been reassessed as to the market for employees.As far as was practical , we have tried to make the pay scales competitive with the County, the School System, Industry and the Institutions. 3, This report covers those employees who were on Grade 34 or less. Those above 34 are generally speaking a single individual in a specific job and we will report 'on those at " ;der date. 4, fore, this report accounts for approximately 90% of the City PA ll . viding the payroll this way we can materially help the office ; tting Ne,. etc. , set up for the new year at the earliest possible moment`':*",prevent 56 rush and confusion at the last few days of the year. ftJs the intention of the Finance Committee that all increments in t a future w `� strict merit system and will not be considered as automatic inc , • es. We a' g reporting forms, etc. , for the implementation of this merit sy$ . e are recommending that the so-called longevity steps be eliminated •and.,the minimumO - maximum spread be increased so that there will be 7 steps over the minimum to reach maximum in place of the present 4 steps, These steps will remain at 4% each. 8. It is our intention to devise a plan where employees of many years top grade service to the city will be further compensated on an individual basis commensurate with the amount and quality of the work done during the year. ' ► 9. The Finance Committee is quite aware of the rise in consumer prices and has t n steps to see that every employee gets an increase of at least 4% over his 1966 pay. A, because of the re-evaluation of many jobs there will be an estimated 8.9C increase in the total payroll . 10. In several cases, where there has been an unusual increase in the Grade Line, the Finance Committee is making a detailed recommendation for positioning every employee in the new plan. ,'t� F Fier .7, 1916 By Alderman Stai by Alderman Hart Oil RESOLVED, that the CompeM ation Plan for 1967 for those officers and employees of the City of Ithaca, New York who fall in grade 34 or lower as prese►4*0 and recommended by the Finance Committee, be and' it hereby is approved in accordance";:with a copy thereof which is attached to and made a part of the minutes of this session.

Carried. COMPENSATION PLAN - 1967: Alderman Stallman presented and read a report of the Finance Committee on the Compensation Plan which he reported had been reviewed and approved in Executive Session earlier in the meeting. The Committee's report is as follows : REPORT OF FINANCE COMM-11 EE ON COMPENSATION PLAN December 28, 1966 This report covers those employees of the City presently on Grade 35 and over. Those on 34 and below were covered in our last report of Dec- ember 7, 1966. A careful study of supply and demand for persons qualified to fill our key positions has been made and we recommend a few changes in the format of the Compensation Plan. 1 . For some positions we have abandoned the single line theory and propose a range of lines within which we hope to be able to hire and to replace. In each case of "range" position we expect the Council to have the final say on each and every presently employed person or on any that may be hired in the future. This element of "range" may make it possible for easier negotiations with pro- spective employees and also provide a 'bait ' for the future of the employee. 2. In tine with the "range" outlined above, we have placed every present employee in his particular spot both as to line and horizontal placement of that line. 3. Every � c.!ee has received an increase i n pay of at least 4% and a number have been advanced considerably more. 4. Why large advances? Simply this. We have some excellent people in our employ and we feel that it is imperative that we keep them. An analysis of the market for such employees show ranges of wages now being paid by other cities both larger and smaller as well as our own size. If we were to lose an employee, we feel that we would have to pay within the "range" set to replace him. Therefor• it is only fair and proper that we pay our present help what we would have to pay for a replacement . 5. We feel that the ranges and the positioning of all of our present people, as listed on the attached schedule , will be satisfactory to them for the forseeable future and thus prevent any further losses of top men or women in the City's employ. 6. The total impact on the tax rate by these adjustments is esti- mated to be about 15C on the tax rate based on $1 .00 on the tax .-.� rate producing approximately $95,000 in revenue. Simply stated, this is an increate in payroll for this group of $16,078.00. The Finance Committee strongly urges the acceptance of this report together with the following schedule for positions in the 1967 Compensation Plan which are graded at 35 and over: 1967 PROPOSED SALARY SCHEDULE Grade 35 and Over NAME JOB TITLE RECOMMENDED Grade Step Salary Hunna Johns Mayor $ 8,000 John L.

B0GET - 1967: Alderman Stallman presented the' following report on a proposed tentative budget for the General Fund for 1967 and recommended its approval and adoption: REPORT OF FIN""'NCE COMMITTEE ON TENTATIVE BUDGET 1967 December 28, 1966 The attached schedules give as complete a picture of our 1967 Budget as is possible at this time. There are certain income figures that are not final and we will not know them until January or even into February. There are certain unexpended funds of the 1966 Budget that are not final at this time and will not be known for sure until after December 31 , 1966. For instance, it is impossible to predict the costs of snow removal , etc. , until the deadline has passed. AT THIS TIME (before all income and surplus figures are available) the tentative tax rate will be $19.40 per 1000 of assessed valuation. This compares with the present rate of $16.90 or an increase of $2.50. There is good reason to believe that this increase will be materially reduced by the time that we get all the figures in and the time for the final budget comes around. !~that caused the increase? Very simply this. We have had to increase the pay scales or lose our help. This accounts for about I of the increase and the balance is made up of our capital improvement program presently underway and planned for 1967.
