Egan WHEREAS, 1225 parking meters are in service on the city streets and in municipal park- ing lots, and WHEREAS, a parking meter replacement schedule is in effect which insures the annual replacement of 100 worn or obsolete meters; and funds are currently budgeted for the purchase of 100 new meters in 1966, and WHEREAS, in 1964, due to discontinued production of the Dual parking meter, the Common Council adopted a policy standardizing on parking meters of the Park-O-Meter type as manufactured by the Rockwell Mfg. Co. and, WHEREAS, it is deemed to be in the best interests of the City of Ithaca, for reasons of efficiency and economy, to standardize on the type of parking meters to be used in the City for the following reasons: 1) There are 1225 parking meters currently being used on city streets and in parking lots. 2) The investment in a stock of parts that will have to be maintained for servicing one standard type of meter will be less than if the City is required to service several different types of meters. 3) The expense of servicing; one type of meter when compared with servicing several different types will be much less. NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED, that the Common Council be requested to adopt a resolution, pursuant to Section 103 of the General Municipal Law, indicating that, for reasons of efficiency and economy, there is a need for standardization of parking meters in the City of Ithaca, and therefore authorize the Board of Public Works to purchase, after public bidding, the Park-O-Meter as manufactured by the Rockwell Manufacturing Co., in such quantities as there may be funds appropriated for that purpose during 1966.

It is keenly aware of the need for i tergovernmental cooperation in water pollution control and other items of area side concern and that it constantly seeks ways of improving existing cooperative agr ements. ..� 2. The report of the Agency's Consultant does not recommend either for or against the sale of the city's facilities to the Aaency. The report states that there is no distinct advantage in either solution and that a decision must be left to the political policies of the gov-- ^-gents involved. 3. The report of the Agency's Consultanj shows that for the foreseeable future there is no apparent economic adTantage to be haq either by city residents or residents of the presently connected service areas outside the city from such a sale. Page 3 April 27, 1966 4. The Agency does not now have the technical or administrative experience to qualify it to take on the enormous task of treating the sewage of the presently connected population. 5. The Board of Public Works is always ready to negotiate matters of rate structure with areas outside the city with the view that the most equitable determination of rates may be made. 6.

STREET LIGHTING CONTRACT: Comm. McGee reported that a proposed new street lighting contract has been presented to the City by the New York State Electric & Gas Company.

The principal difference between the proposed contract and the existing contract, is that under the new contract any new lights which are placed will be mercury vapor in the minimum size of 3,350 lumens. This contract does not provide for the immediate replacement of our existing lights and in fact it is not proposed to do any major replacements until the Electric & Gas Company has completed a survey which is row in process. This new contract does set up the basis on which any additional replace- ments will be made after the survey has been made. By Comm. McGee: seconded by Comm.

Since that time, the L.V.R.R. Company has indicated that it now requires considerably less facilities than were planned. It is expected that a supplement to the agreement with the Railroad Company will be signed by the Mayor which will require redesign and readvertising of this work.

Putney : seconded by Comm. McGee RESOLVED, that the Board hereby requests the Common Council to provide an appropriation of $577,860.00 in its 1967 General Fund budget to finance the following projects: REPORT ON CUMBBIA STREET BRIDGE Among Ithaca's chief assets as a place to live and to visit is its unique scenic attractiveness, brought about, in a large measure, by the gorges of Fall, Cascadilla and Oix rile Creeks with their cascades and waterfalls. On the other hand, these sane gorges are a substantial financial liability to the city in that creek channels must be maintained by occasional dredging and ice removal and by construction and riaintenance of retaining walls in their lower reaches. A second and more important effect of these ;gorges on the city's economy in the building and mainten<;nce of the necessary bridges. Ithaca now has over thirty bridges with an estimated current value of over three million dollars, with the cost of construction rising annually. The average life of a bridge is assumed to be not over sixty years, therefore the city includes v; 50,000 in a bridge r�,-ut-t, replacement construction fund in its capital budget annually. In the past the bridge replacement program, was inter- rupted with the result that; in order to partly catch up, four major bridges have been replaced by the city in the past five years, naLiely: Triphamrier over Fall. Creek 4297,000 Stewart :,ve. ovrir Cascadilla 1883000 Giles St. over aix I•1ile 140,000 Lake St. over Fall Creek 130,000 At a total cost of ;.�755,000 The present badly eroded :south Cayuga it. bridge over aix iiile Creek is scheduled for replacement in 1967. - 2 - In addition the state has replaced expensive bridges over Six :file Creek at Aurora and :.cadow Streets as part of arterial street construction. The city is required, however, to maintain these brides. In addition to the capital costs of replacina, unsafe bridges the city must spend thousands of dollars annually in brida;e maintenance �r.ork in an effort to prolong their lives. It is an obvious fact that bridges are an expensive necessity for the city of Ithaca. The Board of Public "Yorks is highly conscious of this fact and is doing everything possible to provide safe brides TThere required and at the same time to reduce bridge expenditures for the benefit of the taxpayer. In line with this policy the unsafe DeWitt Place bridge over Cascadilla Creek was recently removed to eliminate maintenance costs. The South Blain St. bridge over Six i":ile Creek was closed to all but pedestrian traffic for safety and to reduce maintenance. This brings us to the Columbia St. bride over Six -:ile Creek which the South dill Civic Association recently requested be rebuilt. This bridge was closed to vehicular traffic in 1965 on the urgent reco",mendation of the city's bridge engineering consulting firm because of its vastly dteriorated condition. The Columbia St. bridge is the longest and one of the highest in the city. It is estimated that the cost of a replacement bridge and new abutments would be in the neigh- borhood of v640,000 if paid for when built. If it were financed with a bond issue, as it would need to be, the interest on the bonds would bring the total cost to over a million dollars and we would have Ithaca's most expensive - 3 - bridge to maintain. :then it is considered that every .,)80,000 of city expenditure means an additional dollar on the city tax rate, the contract cost alone �,,,ould result in an increase in the tax rate of approximately .,-8.00 per thousand valuation for a year for all tax pryers. Thus the owner of a property assessed at w20,000 irould pay ,�1b0.00 as his share of the bridge cost ,�ihether he ever used it or not. Furthermore, the rebuilding of the bridge renews another problem. The exit from the bridge to the north is via Ferris Place, a very narrow street that carries two-way traffic in one lane. Zerris Place fxiis into State St. on an upmrade and at an an;le resulting in an e.,:trer.ely hazardous intersection 1.,rhic1 cannot r--- ily be i.::proved. A majority of residents of loud: dill who T,�rould use a Columbia 3t. bridge are travelin7 frori? 0outh 111ill to past Hill. If there were no alternative connecting route this bridge would be a necessity. iiowever, there is a safer and alteether better alternative by way of 'files and Cornell Streets. In view of the frcts enumerated, (1) that a new �,olurnbi.a Wit. bridge would burden a"1'_ city taxpayers for the questionable benefit of a small proportion of the popul,. tio.n; (2) thet a bridge in t'riis location nould renew a hazardous ;situation at tree connection of Ferris Place with Mate St.; and (3) because there is a reasonable ulternati ve route ,Ti ",�iout a bridge, the Creeks and 2rid;es Corar..ittee reaffirms its recoc7; endation that t7ie Columbia �t. ��ridge not be rebuilt in the foreseeable future and that the South Hill Civic isscciation be so advised with the rea.sonrfor this reco,_:men�_ation.
