Regular Meeting 4:30 p.m. January 10. 1962 PRESENT: Mayor - Ryan Commissioners - Egan, Reulein, Yengo, Pickering, Conley, Leary Aldermen - Kilby, Hart, Stallman, Baldwin Attorney - Clynes Supt, of Public Works - Laverty Asst. to Supt. of Public GIorks - Rich Engineer - Cass Forester - Baker Clerk - Blean Deputy Clerk - Grey Mayor Ryan welcomed Michael J. Leary to his first meeting as a member of tha Board. MINUTES: Minutes of the last regular meeting were duly approved. VICE CHAIRMAN: Mayor Ryan announced that it would be in order to elect a Vice - Chairman of the Board. Comm. Reulein was nominated as Vice Chairman and unanimously elected to this position. BOILER INSPECTION: The Clerk reported receipt of a Report of Inspection by the 2- Ocean Accident & Guarantee Corp. announcing that all boilers located in city - owned buildings had been inspected on December 14, 1961 and that no conditions requiring recommendations or comment were noted. The report was ordered filed. r WATER & SEWER SERVICE EXTENSION: By Comm. Conley: seconded by Comm. Pickering RESOLVED, that the Board of Public Works hereby records itself that it did not ask the Common Council to request the Greater Ithaca Regional Planning Board to study the question of further extension of water and sewer services beyond the city limits. Carried. CITY HALL ANNEX: Mayor Ryan presented and read the following statement: "At this time, I would like to ask the Board of Public T'Torks to consider making more use of the City Hall Annex or the Eagles Building. This may not be ideal for City Hall offices but perhaps for a few years Iit can serve its purpose and the City can justify the expenditure of over $100,000 for the purchase of this building. We are faced with building a new jail and police station. We could use more park- ing near the business center and the present City Hall seems to be the most logical place for parking. By installing a self-service elevator and using the top floor of the Eagles Building we should be able to have a larger Council room and also have larger offices for the City Clerk's department, the Controller and the Engineers. The Mayor's and Superintendent's office could also be on the same floor facing State Street. This sounds like a lot of offices in one place but actually there is more square feet on the top floor than there is on this one floor of City Hall. This, of course, means we would have to build a jail and police station but this is the key to this whole move. Other public buildings are needed also and I want to do all I can to see that we get them but at the present time this plan of moving the city offices to the Eagles Building and building a new police station and jail should be the number one projec-., By Comm. Yengo: seconded by Comm. Conley RESOLVED, that the Mayor's recommendations be referred to the Buildings & Grounds Committee for study and report; and that it be agreed that such a proposed move be 6onsidered as one of a temporary nature. Carried. �_ROMMTO_NS: Supt. Laverty recommended several promotions which were approved as Follows: By Comm. Conley: seconded by Comm.

Applica- tion for a survey must be made at the City Engineer's office twenty-four hours before the builder desires to start work. There is no fee charged for a sidewalk survey. All -9- sidewalks. shall be of one course construction and of a minimum of five (5) feet, except where variances from this width are either specifically permitted or required by the Engineer. All sidewalks must conform to the following specifica- tions and all street driveways must conform to the stand- ard adopted by the City, unless special permission is otherwise given by the Board of Public Works. (See sketch) It shall be the duty of the contractor or the owner of the premises upon which a sidewalk is being constructed to leave connections with adjoining walks in a safe and good appearing condition. Should the walk constructed be to a higher or lower grade than the adjoining walks, the side- walk builder shall be required to eliminate the step by raising or lowering the end -block of the sidewalk on adjoining premises. (a) General — These specifications for concrete sidewalks are designed for and intended to cover the construction of sidewalks: 1. By property owners in the street in front of their own premises where construction is carried on either by a side- walk contractor employed by the property owner, or by the property owner's own labor, and 2. By the City of Ithaca constructing sidewalks either by contract or force account, at property of the City of Ithaca; at premises where sidewalks have been ordered built but property owners have failed to construct; and at premises where the City has agreed to construct or oversee the construc- tion of sidewalks upon the petition of abutting property owners. (b) Definitions of Terms — The term engineer shall mean the City Engineer or -10- other person appointed by the Board of Public Works to oversee sidewalk construction. The- term contractor shall mean the party or parties contracting to do any work described herein, or author- ized representatives of such parties or party, or property owners constructing sidewalks at their own premises.

It shall be well graded from coarse to fine, and shall contain not more than 3% by weight of clay, loam or silt. Fine aggregate shall be of such quality that mortar composed of the Portland cement and the fine aggregate shall show tensile and comprehensive strength at seven (7) and twenty-eight (28) days equal to or higher than mortar composed of Portland cement and Standard Ottawa Sand. -11- ( f ) Coarse Aggregate Coarse aggregate shall consist of crushed rock or gravel. The particles of coarse aggregate shall consist of clean, hard, tough and durable material, free from vege. table or other deleterious substance, and free from soft, thin, elongated or laminated pieces. Coarse aggregate shall be graded within the following limits: Passing 1 inch sieve __________________95 to 100ofo Passing 1/2 inch sieve __________________40 to 75%o Passing No. 4 deve ___.not more than 15% Passing No. 8 sieve ......not more than 57o' (g) Water — Water shall be clean and free from alkali, oils or acid. (h) Joint Filler — Joint filler shall be premolded strips of asphalt or pitch, and fiber or mineral aggregate passing an 80-mesh screen, one-half (1/2) inch thick, as wide as the thickness of the concrete slab and at least two (2) feet long. It shall have such a consistency that it will not run in summer or chip out in winter. (i) Forms — Forms shall be of lumber two (2) inches thick, or of steel of equal strength, except on curves where flexible strips may be used. They shall be held rigidly in place by stakes or braces with top edges at true line and grade given by the Engi- neer. Ends of adjoining forms shall be flush. Forms shall be set so as to give the walk a slope towards the curb of one -quarter (1/4) inch per foot of width. -12- (j) Division Plates — Where division plates are used they shall be of one - eighth (1/8) inch steel, as wide as the depth of the slab and as long as the width of the walk. Forms and division plates shall be thoroughly cleaned and oiled each time before they are used. (k) Subgrade— That portion of the ground surface directly beneath the slab shall be called the subgrade. All soft and spongy material in the subgrade shall be removed and replaced with suitable material. Fills shall be compacted in layers not exceeding six (6) inches in thickness. Spots previously compacted by traffic shall be loosened to a depth of six (6) inches. The whole sub - grade shall be thoroughly and uniformly compacted to a firm surface having as nearly as possible a uniform bear- ing power. A template, resting upon the side forms and having its lower edge at the exact elevation of the subgrade, shall be drawn along the forms before any concrete is laid. Any high places in the subgrade shall be removed so that the template will pass over without being raised off the side forms or being tipped at an angle to the sidewalk surface. The subgrade shall be damp, but not muddy; when con- crete is placed upon it. (1) Drains — Where in the opinion of the Engineer it is considered necessary to save the walk from damage by frost action, drains of three (3) inch farm tile or such other type of drainage pipe as may be required shall be laid on the lines and grades given by the Engineer. -13. (m) Sub -base — When drains are impracticable and the soil is poorly drained, or colloidal clay, a five (5) inch sub -base shall be constructed of cinders, gravel or other porous mate- rial approved by the Engineer. The sub -base shall be thoroughly tamped until the surface is firm, and shall be drained into the street gutter in a manner approved by the Engineer. (n) Thickness and Proportions — Concrete shall be mixed in the proportion of one (1) part Portland cement, two (2) parts of fine aggregate and three and one-half (31/2) parts of coarse aggregate. The concrete sidewalk shall be of one course at least four (4) inches in thickness, and at points where drive- ways are to be provided the concrete shall be six (6) inches in thickness. (o) Mixing — The use of transit mix concrete supplied by local, well established and acceptable suppliers is recommended but not required. Mechanical batch mixing on the job will be allowed provided the following requirements are met. Hand mixing on the job will not be permitted except for patchwork requiring less than one-half (1/2) cubic yard of concrete. Where concrete is to be batch mixed on the job the coarse and the fine aggregate shall be delivered separately at the work, and then mixed in the required proportions. The ingredients of the concrete shall be thoroughly mixed until each particle or fine aggregate is coated with cement and each particle of coarse aggregate is coated with mortar. When a mechanical mixer is used it shall be of an ap- proved batch type. Each batch shall be mixed at least one -14- minute from the time all the materials, including water, are in the drum until the beginning of the discharge. The consistency of the mixed concrete shall be such that no separation of the ingredients takes place and some tamping is necessary to bring the mortar to the surface. (p) Placing and Finishing — The freshly mixed concrete shall be placed immediately on the prepared subgrade. It shall then be struck off and tamped with a straight -edge resting upon the side forms and advanced with a crosswise sawing motion. It shall then be floated with a wooden float until the surface has a true contour and the concrete is thoroughly compacted. The placing of concrete shall not be suspended for forty-five (45) minutes or longer except at the end of a slab. No concrete shall be placed on a frozen subgrade or when the temperature is, or is liable to be within 24 hours, below 40 degrees Fahrenheit, except with the written per- mission of the Engineer. (q) Jointing — The walk shall be marked into separate rectangular slabs. No plain concrete slab shall be longer than six (6) feet on any one side. Where division plates have been used they shall be re- moved after the concrete has hardened sufficiently to avoid breaking the edges or corners of the slabs. The surface edges of each slab shall be rounded to a radius of about one-fourth (1/4) inch. Markings shall be exactly at cuts between slabs. (r) Expansion Joints — Expansion joints shall extend from the surface to the subgrade, be truly at right angles to the sidewalk surface .15- and be made by putting the specified joint filler in place before placing the concrete. They shall be placed as fol- lows: At or near all places whore the sidewalk line intersects a curb line or other sidewalk a one (1) inch expansion joint shall be made at right angles to the center line of the walk. When the sidewalk fills the space between the curb and the building line a one-half (1/2) inch expansion joint shall be placed between the curb and the sidewalk, and between the sidewalk and the building. A one-half (1/2) inch expansion joint shall be made across the walk at approximately 50-foot intervals. (s) Curing — As soon as the concrete has set sufficiently it shall be sprinkled and kept moist until covered. As soon as it can be done without damage to the walk, it shall be covered with four (4) thicknesses of burlap, tarpaulin or other approved covering. The walk shall then be cleaned and opened to traffic and all tools, leftover supplies and rub- bish must be removed from the street. The contractor shall protect the concrete from damage by rain, pedestrians and animals with suitable covers and barricades and by red lights at night. CONCRETE DRIVEWAYS SECTION II—D. GENERAL (a) Standard driveway shall have a curb opening at the face of curb, of 14 feet, with radius from the edge of curb opening of 30".

The backfill material shall be free from cinders, ashes, refuse, vegetable or organic material, boulders, rocks or stones or other material which in the opinion of the Superintendent is unsuitable. However, from one foot above the top of the pipe or conduit to the subgrade of the pavement, material containing stones up to 8 inches in their greatest dimension may be used. The permittee may backfill with the excavated material, piovided that such material consists of loam, clay, sand, gravel or other mate- rial which, in the opinion of the Superintendent, is suit- able for backfilling. Where the excavated material is not suitable for backfilling, gravel will be used. Gravel used for backfilling shall consist of natural bank gravel having durable particles graded from fine to coarse in a reasonably uniform combination, with no boulders or stones larger than 2 inches in size. It shall be free from slag, cinders, ashes, refuse or other deleterious or objec. tionable materials. It shall not contain excessive amounts of loam or clay and shall not be lumpy or frozen. Back - fill gravel shall be used in the top 18 inches of backfill of all ditches in the paved areas of city streets. Backfill shall be placed in 8 inch layers and each layer tamped by mechanical means to insure good compaction. Care will be taken not to disturb the pipe or conduit located in the ditch. Excavating or backfilling shall not be done in freezing weather except by permission of the -21- Superintendent. Frozen—tnaterial shall not be used for backfilling. No fill shall be made where the material already in the trench is frozen. SECTION III—G. TEMPORARY RESURFACING.

WEST SENECA STREET BRIDGE: A delegation of businessmen and others from the west end of the city, in t e vicinity of the West Seneca Street bridge, appeared before the Board in support of the petition presented at the last meeting by Comm. Leary F requesting that the bridge be reopened to traffic. Mr. Adelbert Hull, a former member of the Board, acted as spokesman for the group and claimed that closing ". of the bridge has been a detriment to business in the area and caused hardship_ to a great number of people. He read a letter from the Westend Businessmens Association in support of action which would lead to reopening the bridge. Others who spoke and urged the bridge's reopening included Gust Freeman and Comm. Leary. By Comm. Leary: seconded by Comm. Egan RESOLVED, that this Board go on record as favoring the reopening of the West Seneca Street Bridge by constructing a new bridge to take the place of the existing structure; and that the Council be requested to provide the necessary financing. Comm. Yengo expressed his opinion that it would be unwise to construct a new bridge there at this time because of the imminent changes that will be brought about by the relocation of route 96 and the proposed flood control program. He urged delay until both of these projects are completed in order to determine their effects on the traffic bottleneck at the foot of Cliff Street. Engineer Cass guessed the cost of a new bridge roughly at somewhere between $180,000.00 and $205,000.00. Both Commissioners Yengo and Conley expressed a desire to have a more accurate estimate of the cost of a new bridge before voting on the resolution. By Comm. Yengo: seconded by Comm. Pickering RESOLVED, that the resolution favoring reopening the bridge be tabled until the next meeting of the Board pending receipt from the City Engineer of a more accura- estimate of the cost of a new bridge.

Reulein himself. Mr. Reulein stated that the Capital Improvement, Parking B Traffic Committee of the Board feels the marina project is desirable for the following stated reasons: 1) The present canal with 108 boat slips is wow fully occupied with an annual revenue of approximately $9700. 2) At the present time 20 additional individuals desire for space in 1963. 3) The additional canal, with another 108 boat slips, also has a poteeati*i revenue of approximately $9700L making,a total future reverse from tint slip rental alone of $19,400. 4) An early start on this work and development through the winter months should assure some revenue in 1963. 5) Additional boat usage should reflect an increased revenue from the concession stand. 6) The excavated material will provide the fill needed to complete the develop- ment of the new picnic are& oeaeprising about 12 acres. Page 4 September 26, 1962 By Comm. Reulein: seconded by Comm.

Carried. Comm. Reulein then recommended approval of the Capital Improvement Program for 1963 as submitted. Mayor Ryan called attention to the urgent need for a public safety building as indicated by repeated urging received from N.Y.S. Department of Correction as it relates to jail facilities. He suggested that it be placed in the 1963 program instead of the library. After some further discussion this phase of the program it was agreed to include it in the 1963 budget in addition to the library. By Comm. Reulein: seconded by Comm. Egan RESOLVED, that the proposed Capital Improvement Program for 1963 be amended by adding thereto a public safety building estimated at $242,720.00 thereby making the total for 1963 $1,078,300; and that it be forwarded to the Capital Improvement program Review Committee for review, submission to the Planning Board staff for processing and final report with recommendations to the Council, AND BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that this Board hereby recommends that the building of a public safety building be given priority over a public library.

The following report on a survey of the pollution problem was presented by Mr. Hannan, Assistant to Superintendent of Public Works: -LAKE CURRENTS - On three occasions have released as many as 35 weighted floats and wry observed their travels over several hours and plotted the courses on the Geological map. Other than the floats in the creeks, the procedure has been to set a line across the lake from the East Shore to the outer channel marker so as to intercept any current having a bearing on the Stewart Park problems. Definite conclusion is that the inflowing creeks (Fall, Inlet $ Cascadilla) create a strong, wide current in the range of 8 to 10 feet per minute in a north-west or straight down the lake course. Tentative conclusion is that the counter current is a much narrower but possibly faster (as much as 12 feet per minute) current in a south east direction along the c.:t shore headed for Stewart Park. The winds have a definite influence on surface floats and even though we chose calm days (wind velocities down to less than 4 miles per hour), the wind was the dominating factor and our results had to be interpolated to correct for these slight breezes. We now think that we will be able to pin point the on -shore currents at Stewart Park at any particular time but have a strong feeling that they will (1) vary from day to day depending on creek flows (2) will be so small as to be insignificant (3) prove to be unable to overcome the much stronger wind influences as far as possible beach .;pollution is' concerned."

Controller Weinstein reviewed briefly the items of overhead, such as time spent handling the receipts, and posting the accounts, which cannot be measured and therefore is not charged as expenses of bus operation.

This is no reflection on our Controller, Mr. Weinstein, who in my opinion does a wonderful ,job for the City. However, I wonder if he is given all the facts and figures by those responsible for this." ADDITIONAL APPROPRIATION - SEWER FUND: Controller Weinstein reported that it had become necessary to request the Council to provide an additional $20,000.00 to cover an estimated operating deficit in the Sewer Fund. He advised that, because of a time problem, this had been done without first bringing, it to .the Board's attention but that he had secured the Superintendent's approval to do so. By Comm.

Page 2 December 26, 1962 TRIPHAMMER DEVELOPMENT COMPANY - WATER SERVICE: Comm. Conley Presented and read the following statement which had been prepared by Assistant Superintendent Hannan: Recommend that the furnishing of water to the Triphammer Development Project be re- fused. While there would be no strain on the ability to produce the water at the filter plant, we do not yet have the solution to the operational distribution difficulties which plagued us last summer. Our new pumping facilities which would solve this problem are only scheduled for de- sign this year and construction next year. Until then any additional load, especially one drawing from the Cayuga Heights and Christopher Circle tanks, would create an im- possible situation during dry or hot weather demands. By Comm. Conley: seconded by Comm.

Yengo Presented and read the following letter re- ceived December 24, 1962 by Engineer Cass regarding the IJest Seneca Street bridge: Mr.. Leon Cass, City Engineer City of Ithaca Ithaca, New York RE: WEST SENECA STREET BRIDGE Dear Mr. Cass: This letter will confirm our telephone conversation on Friday afternoon, December 14, 1962. Unfortunately, I did not have time to review the inspection report on the West Seneca Street Bridge, which was sent to you by Mr. Sorgenfrei on December 12, until after it had left the office. After reading the report, when I spoke to you I stated that I do not believe it would be to the best interests of the City to spend the funds estimated in our report to be necessary to make repairs to the existing structure. The required repairs are not recommended since it is felt that, should you spend this amount of money, you would still have an inadequate capacity and one which might fail under the restricted loadings due to its general deteriorated condition. It would also be necessary to post this structure for the limited loads and, even with posting, it would not be possible to enforce the limitations. Should a heavy truck break the structure down. it is entirely possible that some serious damage or deaths to individuals may result. Such an occurence would likely lead to suits being filed against the City by those so injured or damaged. Consequently, it is recommended that the existing structure be permanently removed from service. If a structure is needed at this location, the repair funds could be added to additional funds to be appropriated to build a suitable structure which would have no load restrictions and its life would be extended for many years. FMM;ns Very truly yours, Modjeski and Masters Engineers Sgnd. by: F.M. Masters By Comm. Yengo: seconded by Comm. Conley RESOLVED, that in accordance with the recommendation received from Modjeski & Masters the }Vest Seneca Street bridge be not repaired; and that the bridge be dismantled and removed. AYES: 2 - Yengo, Conley NAYS: 3 - Reulein, Leary, Egan Motion Defeated. By Comm. Leary: seconded by Comm. Reulein RESOLVED, that the West Seneca Street bridge be not dismantled and removed until such time as arrangements are made for its replacement with a new bridge.

Yengo RESOLVED, that the Mayor's statement be received, endorsed and made a Part of the minutes of this meeting to read as follows: "As Seville Reulein leaves the Board of Public Works today, I would like to point out the fine work he has accomplished as a member of that Board. The City can be grateful for the many hours he put in at City Hall for the nast six years, attending meetings, etc. He has helped solve many problems, especially traffic and narking, which he was very interested in. This,however, has not been his only concern. He has taken an active interest in nearly everything that has come up at Board meetings at City Hall. These include Clater and Sewer, Finance, Capital Imnrovements, Public Buildings, Bridges, etc. In my opinion, he has been fair in all his oninions and has always had the city tax- payers in mind on all his decisions. I hope Seville will consider serving on some Board or Committee in the future. The City needs more men like him. John F. Ryan, Mayor" Unanimously Carried. On motion the meeting was adjourned.
