Call to Order/Agenda Review:
Commissioner Warden voiced his concern about item 9C entitled “Resolution Authorizing
Agreement with Ithaca Neighborhood Housing Services for Future Improvements to Lake
Avenue and Eastern Portion of Adams Street” being a voting item on today’s agenda. He
questioned whether discussion of the resolution had taken place prior to today’s meeting.
He wants to make sure that the neighbors of the project support it and have had an opportunity
to provide input.
Commissioners Jenkins and Darling responded that the item had been discussed a few months
ago by the Board.
Commissioner Warden stated that if the neighborhood was fine with the proposal, then he did
not have a problem with voting on it today.
Mayor's Communications:
The Mayor had no communications at this time.
Communications and Hearings From Persons Before the Board:
No one appeared to address the Board.
Reports:
Director of Engineering West reported on the following items:
o Great progress is being made with the repair/construction of sidewalk around the
City – especially on the north side of the City.
o The opening ceremony for the final phase of the Cayuga Waterfront Trail is
August 30th.
Board of Public Works Meeting Minutes August 24, 2015

o All the concrete repairs have been made at the Seneca Street Parking Garage;
they will be shop blasting and coating on Thursday, 8/28. They will not work on
Friday because of the Commons Grand Opening Celebration taking place that
day.
o The 2015 road paving project will start on Wednesday, August 26th, on Cayuga
Street; the street will be posted for no-parking. The work will include sidewalk
and ramp work, then the repaving of the street. The project will then move to
Giles Street three weeks later (weather permitting).
Mayor Myrick stated that he is very happy with the great reviews he has been receiving on all of
the sidewalk work being done – especially from Disability Advisory Council Chair, Larry Roberts.
Assistant Superintendent for Streets and Facilities Benjamin reported on the following items:
o Crews finished the complete repaving project (including utility work underneath
the road) on South Aurora Street in time for Ithaca College students returning for
the Fall semester.
o Drainage pipes have been installed on the roof of the Streets and Facilities
building on Pier Road that connect to the roof drains. The water from the roof will
now be directed towards the ditch.
o Crews have been catching up on requests for different paving patches around
the City – mostly small ones that were created as a result of utility work. The
requests had been piling up and so it will be good to get caught up. A lot of staff
are on vacation as well so that has affected work being done. He has been
doing double duty as his Supervisor for streets is on vacation.
Director of Parking Nagy reported on the following items:
o Digital Pay Machine Statistics to Date:
16,358 transactions
$27,888.00 in revenue
1,100.00 transactions/day
$21,588.00 from meters
$49,476.00 Total Revenue
o Total Revenue from meters in 2014: $64,263.00; projected for 2015:
$76,818.00, an increase of 19.5%.
o The pay machines are working; he is working with people that have
communicated challenges to their use to find solutions
o He is working to have additional signage placed on meter poles to help direct
people to the location of the pay stations
o He is also working to inform the public on the Park Mobile application for smart
phones that can be used to set up accounts from which to pay for parking that
will just require people to enter the amount of time they want to pay for parking
because everything else will already be set up; people can also set up a Park
Mobile account online or by calling them.
o The Park Mobile Application became available on August 14th, which was a
Friday, there were 19 transactions even though there was no prior notice given to
the public about that option. On Monday, August 17th, there were 34
transactions, 89 transactions on Tuesday, August 18th, 107 transactions on
Wednesday, August 19th, 134 transactions on Thursday, August 20th, and 158
transactions on Friday, August 21st. That is a total of 541 transactions using the
Board of Public Works Meeting Minutes August 24, 2015

Park Mobile app. A total revenue of $1,661.00, so it seems to be very well
received by members of the community.
Superintendent Thorne reported on the following items:
o Temporary asphalt repairs were made to the sidewalk on Osmun Place because
they were in such terrible condition. This is in a historic district and so people are
upset about the use of asphalt; it is not a permanent repair but something had to
be done because it had become hazardous.
o A suggestion was made to staff that the millings from the Giles Street repaving
project be put in the parking lot at the Wildflower Preserve. Right now, it is
muddy with big holes in it; the millings would provide a permeable surface and be
a good reuse of the road surface millings. He did reach out to the Natural Areas
Commission and Conservation Advisory Council and they thought it was a good
idea.
Common Council Liaison Fleming reported on the following concerns from constituents:
o The crosswalks at construction sites on Dryden Road need to be maintained
o A crosswalk is needed at the bottom of the hill on State/Martin Luther King, Jr.
Street at the Tuning Fork
o A crosswalk is needed at the intersection of Quarry and State/Martin Luther King,
Jr. Street
o Concerns regarding noise from the construction of the new water plant; work is
beginning before 7:30 a.m. – which is the allowed start time.
Superintendent Thorne responded that staff did deliver the message to the contractor of the
new water treatment plant that construction noise cannot begin before 7:30 a.m. He stated that
there was an instance recently, where a last minute decision was made the night before, to
allow the pouring of concrete at the site to begin prior to 7:30 a.m. This was done because of
rain forecast for later in the day, and they needed to get the concrete poured that day. Please
let staff know if noise before 7:30 a.m. is occurring so they can address it with the contractor
accordingly.
New Project Presentation:
A. Pavement Management Project – Presented by David Picinich, Intern for the Engineering
Department:
Mr. Picinich had a PowerPoint presentation (which will be attached to the minutes for reference)
which he used to show the Board information gained through the project, which was jointly
funded by Cornell University and the City of Ithaca.
He highlighted the following items:
o 700 segments of roadway evaluated (excluding private roads and bridges) for a
total of 67 miles of pavement inventory
o The data was collected through a City of Ithaca GIS program which generated
online maps which were very helpful to verify information from the field
o The survey included the following categories:
Condition of roadways
Types of cracking and reasons for cracking
Identification of ruts in roads
Identification of bleeding, which is when the road surface wears away (it’s
not seen too often)
Board of Public Works Meeting Minutes August 24, 2015

Bridges not included because those repairs are so difficult
o NYS Route 13 left out; it is a roadway maintained by New York State Department
of Transportation; private roads on Cornell Campus left out as well
o The program used will suggest the best repair for each road since there are a
variety of ways to repair roadways
o The program will provide cost of different types of repairs and months of life for
roadway gained by doing the repairs using the different methods
o The program can assign a priority value, which is self- explanatory, for
determining budgets and which roads to repair first
o Roads with more traffic take priority over lower traveled roads
o The annual budget can be input into the program to observe a possible yearly
repair plan based upon the budget
o The program can determine what roads are in which condition, by percentage, as
well as by condition such as poor, fair and good as well as how priorities should
be ranked based on that information
o The program can suggest what the repairs involve and associated costs
The Mayor thanked Mr. Picinich for the valuable and remarkable information that resulted from
his work throughout the summer. He likes the scoring system as a way to prioritize what roads
should be repaired first. He noted that the maps with that information show the reality of what
city staff already knows. This will be a most useful tool for staff because it will provide the ability
to show both the Mayor and Common Council where road repairs are needed, costs,
prioritization, and what will happen if the roadways are not repaired. This information will help
the City make better decisions as well as explain those decisions to public.
Mr. Picinich noted that the maps that were created as a result of this work can be updated as
repairs are made to various roadways. Supt. Thorne stated that the City will have ownership of
the program, and he would recommend that a similar type project be conducted every 3-5 years
to update the data so that it can continue to be used as a tool for the City going forward. He
noted that Cornell University would like to get on a 5 year schedule to do study to provide a
snapshot of where we are and what needs to be done
Director of Engineering West stated that this information can also be used as a tool for
evaluating other repair programs, and demonstrating “how much bang for the buck” could be
gained if repair work done one way; or, if something less expensive is done -- what are you
losing in terms of length of life of the road by doing that.
Alderperson Fleming asked what the relationship was for this project between the City of Ithaca
and Cornell University. Supt. Thorne responded that Cornell University provided the funding,
the computer program, and instructions on how to evaluate the roads.
Civil Engineer Yost, who supervised Mr. Picinich (and Mr. Kyrychuk, who will do the next
presentation on Retaining Walls) stated that with this information regarding the condition of
roadways that different scenarios can be evaluated to see what could be done with various
budgets, to see where to do the work, and what the costs would be.
The Mayor and Board expressed their thanks to Mr. Picinich and Civil Engineer Yost for
conducting the research on the condition of roadways and for providing the very useful
information that can be used in the future to determine budgets and work plans.

B. Retaining Wall Inventory Project:
Mr. Kyrychuk used a PowerPoint presentation (which will be attached to the minutes for
reference) to show the Board the information gained through the project about city-owned
retaining walls. He highlighted the following items for the Board:
The program goal was to determine the number of retaining walls in the city, determine
who owns them, and where there are right-of-ways
It determined the condition of the walls – bad, good, new
A GIS app (ARCgis) a mobile app was developed by the City’s GIS team to use in the
field to document findings – there are 255 city-owned segments/walls as shown on a map
identified with red dots; private walls are identified by blue dots (map included in PowerPoint
presentation which will be attached to the minutes).
The program used a table where various values could be input related to condition,
location, if there is a road or sidewalk supported by the wall, what condition they are in as well
as the wall, what kind of repair work would be required
Other values such as definition of the primary function of the wall, slopes, whether its
near a stream bank, private or public land
The condition assessment of the wall is very important – the bottom, middle, and top are
evaluated and then assigned numerical ratings according to their condition, whether the wall
passes or fails, and what the consequences would be if the wall fails
The evaluation determined that there are 29 walls that need immediate attention, 41 are
okay, and 185 will need work in the future.
Mayor Myrick thanked Mr. Kyrychuk for the wonderful presentation that provided very
quantitative results.
Director of Engineering West asked about the rating system, and how did a rating get assigned
to the wall. Mr. Kyrychuk responded that the rating was given for the part of the wall that was in
the worst condition.
Civil Engineer Yost explained that the program also indicates what the impact of a wall failing
would be. For example, the retaining wall along East State/Martin Luther King, Jr. Street, if that
wall failed a lane of the street would be lost. So, one of the great things about this program will
be the ability to prioritize retaining wall work based upon its proximity to a street or sidewalk.
When that is known, then budgets can be developed for repair of both items in conjunction with
one another. She stated that the study was proposed by New York State Department of
Transportation similar to the way that the bridge inspection process works.
Asst. Supt. Benjamin asked whether the study would be able to indicate the impact that a
private retaining wall failing would have on city property?
Civil Engineer Yost responded that the program would be able to do that once it had the
information, the study conducted this summer only evaluated city-owned retaining walls,
because there was not enough time to do both. It would be a great program to continue, as
time, staff, and budgets allow. The study could verify the location and condition of private walls,
and include similar information as was done for study of city-owned walls. She also noted that
this study was able to document some, but not all, of the various materials that the walls were
constructed with.
Mayor Myrick stated that the City was very fortunate to have such remarkable interns and
projects completed this summer. He thanked them and Civil Engineer Yost for her supervision,
and for providing this remarkable data to use going forward as budget decisions need to be
made.

C. Resolution Authorizing Agreement with Ithaca Neighborhood Housing Services for
Future Improvements to Lake Avenue and the Eastern Portion of Adams Street
By Commissioner Darling: Seconded by Commissioner Jenkins
WHEREAS, Ithaca Neighborhood Housing Services, Inc. (INHS) in 2014 purchased the parcel
known as 210 Hancock Street and began seeking community and Planning Board input; and
WHEREAS, based on this input, INHS has proposed a development plan of the 210 Hancock
parcel that includes improvements to Lake Avenue for a pedestrian and bicycle pathway and
incorporation of a playground structure in the eastern section of Adams Street; and
WHEREAS, City staff is generally supportive of the development plans proposed by INHS, and
INHS is in the process of obtaining site plan approval; and
WHEREAS, INHS has agreed to construct and maintain such improvements at its cost in
accordance with City specifications affording City vehicles the ability to continue to access the
creek through the improved site as needed for public works or safety purposes; and
WHEREAS, the improvements and land underneath such improvements shall be the property of
the City, and will be open to the public; and
WHEREAS, INHS has agreed to be responsible for maintenance and liabilities resulting from
use of the improved site, except for any liabilities which are caused by the City’s negligence or
willful misconduct, which shall be the City’s responsibility; and
WHEREAS, in consideration for these agreements, the City has agreed to seek discontinuance
of Lake Avenue and the eastern portion of Adams Street; and
WHEREAS, the discontinuance process will require environmental review, public comment, and
discretionary approval (or denial) by the Board of Public Works; and

WHEREAS, INHS has asked for an agreement from the City that it commits to seek
discontinuance in order to satisfy certain requirements related to the Low Income Housing Tax
Credits that INHS is seeking; and
WHEREAS, the Common Council is considering a resolution to this same effect; now, therefore
be it
RESOLVED, That the Mayor is authorized to execute an agreement with INHS substantially
similar to that included herewith, and for a term not to exceed fifty (50) years, concerning the
use of Lake Avenue and the eastern portion of Adams Street.
The Parks Commission provided the following recommendation regarding the Proposed
Playground and Creek Walk as Part of the 210 Hancock Street Project:
Ithaca Neighborhood Housing Services (INHS) presented its proposed development at 210
Hancock Street to the Parks Commission at its meeting on May 12, 2015. The Commission’s
discussion focused on the creation of a new playground and green space along a walkway
adjacent to Cascadilla Creek. The playground will be located in the northeast corner of the site,
along Adams Street and across from Conley Park. INHS will build and maintain the playground,
but it will be open to the public. The creek walk is proposed for construction in the current Lake
Street right-of- way along the east side of the project site. It will be primarily a pedestrian
walkway but will be open to City and emergency vehicles. After discussion of the project, the
Parks Commission voted unanimously to support the development of a creek walk within the
Lake Street right-of-way and the construction of a playground as part of the proposed
development at 210 Hancock Street, noting that both features will be positive additions to the
Northside neighborhood. The Commission also noted the importance of creating a visual
connection between the new playground and Conley Park so that the new playground feels
open to the public.
City Attorney Lavine explained that this resolution pertains to the block of Lake Avenue that is
adjacent to Hancock Street and a small section of Adams Street. Currently, they are city streets,
the proposal would discontinue the use of the street by the City of Ithaca. This resolution does
not approve the discontinuance of the street; this resolution authorizes Ithaca Neighborhood
Housing Services (INHS) to make the necessary improvements along Lake Avenue, with
approval by the City. If the City were to discontinue the use of this portion of Lake Avenue it
would take months and lots of discussion by both the Board of Public Works and Common
Council before it could be removed from the City’s inventory of streets.
Commissioner Warden stated that he has been following the evolution and discussions of the
proposed project. He knows that there have been changes made as a result of those
discussions and input from the public. He questioned whether or not the neighborhood has
provided input that supports this proposal? He also has some concern about the berm in the
area, how it meets up with the existing park (Conley Park), how it effects the creek, and do the
residents of Willow Avenue support it.
Commissioner Darling asked what sort of right-of-way will the City keep along Cascadilla creek,
and would the proposal maintain access for the City to do any necessary work in the creek?
City Attorney Lavine responded that this agreement explicitly provides to the City of Ithaca, the
right to get equipment in, and do work anytime - cart blanc. The actual design of the street right-
of-way will create a path to Conley Park and the playground there. The Planning and
Development Board wanted emergency vehicles and the city vehicles/equipment to have
access anytime for whatever work in the area and around the creek might be needed. This
proposal would help to make the street feel more like the Cayuga Waterfront Trail and be very
pedestrian and bike oriented. The multi-age playground will be fenced and accessed from a
portion of Adams Street. Fencing or a hedgerow will clearly delineate city property from INHS
owned property. INHS will also maintain the area once the new housing project is constructed.
The project will contain one building that will be one and two story townhouses, a Head Start
facility, office suite, and ground floor parking. The second building will be three stories and
contain one and two bedroom apartments.

Director of Parking Nagy asked how many parking spaces were planned. City Attorney Lavine
responded that there will be sixty-four spaces. The Planning and Development Board has been
reviewing this proposed project at length since February, with final approval expected on August
25th. The Board of Zoning Appeals has granted three variances for the property as well.
Commissioner Jenkins asked how many townhouses are included in the project. City Attorney
Lavine responded that there will be twelve two-story townhouses that will be constructed to look
like typical Fall Creek homes with seven for sale and five for rent.
Mayor Myrick asked Mr. Joe Bowes, from INHS, who has been involved with the project since
the beginning, to talk about how public input was obtained for the project.
Mr. Bowes explained that INHS bought the property in August 2014. They went through a four
month community engagement process. INHS provided a really basic presentation of project
for input and then proposed designs to community; from the input received they then narrowed
the project down from three proposed designs to one. The community provided input for the
final design. The public loved and very much supported the idea of the creek walk and closing
Lake Avenue to vehicle traffic.
Director of Engineering West reviewed the map and information that was presented earlier in
the meeting regarding the road pavement study, and determined that the condition of Lake
Avenue is very poor, so it would be good to take the street out of the city’s street inventory at
some point in the future because it would save the City the money it would cost to make
improvements to it.
Commissioner Warden asked what impact it would have on the project if the Board delayed a
vote on the resolution until its next meeting.
City Attorney Lavine responded that Common Council meets on September 2nd, and does not
necessarily need a resolution from the Board of Public Works to vote, but it would be helpful to
have the recommendation from the Board prior to their vote.
Commissioner Warden expressed his concern that the neighborhood be provided with more
time and opportunity to provide input into the proposal as he has received a lot of feedback from
the neighborhood expressing various concerns. He would like something e-mailed to him that
would indicate that the neighborhood supports the project.
Commissioner Darling, as the Board of Public Works liaison to the Planning and Development
Board, responded that all the public input and feedback is available online and was also
provided to the Planning and Development Board before they made their decision. He stated
that everyone has supported the idea of closing Lake Avenue even though they may not
necessarily support the project proposed by INHS on Hancock Street.
Mayor Myrick stated that he would like the Board to vote on this today. It would be good for
Common Council to have their recommendation before they vote. In addition, he has heard no
objections to the proposed creek walk.
Commissioner Warden expressed concern about how the creek walk would interact/impact
Conley Park?
Commissioner Darling responded that no work is being done at Conley Park as a result of the
project; but the creek walk would open up the walkway to the park for better access. He stated
that the Parks Commission supports the proposal and is very interested in thinning out some of
the brush there to make a nicer connection between Lake Avenue and Conley Park. INHS has
no plans to do anything with the Conley Park.
Board of Public Works Meeting Minutes August 24, 2015
10
City Attorney Lavine confirmed that no work is planned for Conley Park as a result of this
project. The proposed agreement provides the City of Ithaca with a great deal of latitude across
the next twenty years to make any improvements that may be needed. The City of Ithaca will
not have any control over the playground that INHS will build as part of their project.
Asst. Supt. Benjamin noted that there is a catch basin is located on the south side of the curb
line on the corner of Lake Avenue and Franklin Street; it then goes on to Adams Street and
Second Street; an area where flooding or ice jams have occurred in the past.
Discussion followed on the floor regarding what options might be open to the City, when and if,
the catch basin for the storm sewer should need repair or replacement. It was noted that
INHS’s proposed playground, to be constructed as part of their project, might interfere with work
the City might need to do on the infrastructure in that area. The City of Ithaca would be
responsible for the cost to repair or replace the playground after the work is completed.
Supt. Thorne noted that this is a lower type concern at this point for both the City and INHS. He
stated that he is sure the City could work with INHS as their project progresses to make sure
something new is not built on or near the storm sewer/catch basin infrastructure.
City Attorney Lavine noted that the actual construction of INHS’ project is still a couple of years
off from now; perhaps 2017. If INHS had to adjust the location of the playground they would be
open to that; and the Board of Public Works would have a lot of leverage over the placement of
it. In addition, the future discussion of discontinuance of Lake Avenue will entail a huge and
lengthy process with lots of discussion by the Board of Public Works and Common Council; this
concern could be raised at that time.

By Commissioner Darling: Seconded by Commissioner Warden
WHEREAS, a validation program was established in October 2014 to assist customers to the
downtown merchants by allowing up to two hours of free parking in the city-owned parking
garages; and
WHEREAS, the validation program was funded by the Commons Project and the Downtown
Ithaca Alliance; and
WHEREAS, the program ended on July 31, 2015, to coincide with the opening of the Commons
to the public; and
WHEREAS, merchants are interested in establishing a new validation program through the use

Water & Sewer:
Appeal of Water Bill for Ithaca Children's Garden at 600 Block of Taughannock Boulevard
- Resolution
WHEREAS, in 2004 the City of Ithaca DPW Water & Sewer Division installed a water service
line in the Ithaca Children’s Garden (ICG). DPW installed roughly 300-LF of 2-inch diameter K
Copper water service line along with a curb valve, 8 unions, and a tee fitting for a yard hydrant;
and
WHEREAS, subsequent to the installation of ICG’s water service it was discovered that the 2-
inch K copper tubing we had purchased was flawed, in that the outside diameter (OD) did not
meet industry specifications because it was slightly smaller. This smaller OD is a problem where
the pipe is coupled (joined) using compression fittings which are all designed for standard OD
tubing. We have encountered leaks from loose fittings in one other location where this pipe had
also been used; and
WHEREAS, DPW W&S Division has repaired leaks on at least two compression connections at
the ICG since 2004, and we recognize that there are at least 8 more locations where this run of
copper tubing is joined with compression couplings where potential leaks are a high probability;
and
WHEREAS, DPW W&S plans to locate existing leaks and schedule repairs for the current leaks
on this service line in the Fall of 2015; and
WHEREAS, the ICG is requesting relief for the years 2013-2015 where the water billing is
above a previous annual average of 168-HCF; and
WHEREAS, the difference between the previous annual average and the billing for 2013 of 177-
HCF is 9-HCF and for the 2104 billing of 805-HCF is 637-HCF; and
WHEREAS, 9-HCF at the 2013 water rate of $4.73/HCF totals $42.57, and 637-HCF at the
2014 water rate of $5.11/HCF totals $3,255.07, and 2015 readings to date have not yet
exceeded the 168-HCF; and
Board of Public Works Meeting Minutes August 24, 2015

WHEREAS, the ICG has been paying the bill all along; and
WHEREAS, Water Department Staff recommends to the Board of Public Works, based upon
the forgoing, that actual metered consumption above an annual 168-HCF will not be billed until
the DPW completes repairs on the water service line we originally installed in 2004, and all
consumption above 168-HCF over the last two years be refunded; now, therefore be it
RESOLVED, That a refund of $42.57 be made for 2013, a refund of $3,255.07 be made for
2014, and future use above 168-HCF in 2015 not be billed, until all the necessary repairs are
made by the Water and Sewer Department, to the Ithaca Children’s Garden account
#7717306400.
Carried Unanimously
Discussion Items:
Approval of Locations in Cass Park for the Public Art Commissions Mural and Street Art
Program:
WHEREAS, the City of Ithaca Public Art Commission (PAC) has been established to, among
other duties, review and advise Common Council on proposals for the exhibition and display of
public art in City spaces, buildings, facilities, infrastructure, and to review development
proposals for decorative elements in the city’s public spaces; and
WHEREAS, in 2010, the PAC created a mural and street art program to beautify blank walls
within the city while providing local artists from all sections of the community an opportunity to
showcase their work; and
WHEREAS, the Board of Public Works approved several City-owned sites for inclusion on the
list of potential sites in City of Ithaca Public Art Commission’s Mural and Street Art Program by
resolution on May 19, 2010, and approved additional sites for inclusion in the program since that
time; and
WHEREAS, as a result of this approval, the PAC has worked with more than 50 artists to install
murals on City-owned property throughout the city, and the response to the new murals has
been overwhelmingly positive; and
WHEREAS, the PAC would like to consider all five outbuildings and the exterior of the
main building in Cass Park as locations for future murals; and
WHEREAS, the Parks Commission has discussed these sites as locations for future
murals and is supportive of murals in Cass Park, provided that the murals are
appropriate for a family park setting; now, therefore, be it
RESOLVED, That the Board of Public Works approves the five outbuildings and the exterior of
the main building in Cass Park for inclusion on the list of potential sites for the PAC’s Mural and
Street Art Program; and, be it further
RESOLVED, That the PAC will continue to work with Planning Department staff to conduct a
mutually acceptable public input procedure for engaging nearby businesses, residences, and/or
business and neighborhood associations for each specific project; and, be it further
RESOLVED, That the PAC will work with the City Attorney to ensure that any art mural RFP or
contract with a participating artist reflects and accommodates the needs and constraints of the
City.
Mayor Myrick read the proposed resolution. Commissioner Warden expressed his support for
the project. He also hopes that the Board would be able to review the actual designs once they
are available.

Mayor Myrick stated that all the proposed mural designs for Cass Park would need to come
before the Board of Public Works for approval. He voiced his support for the project and feels it
is a great program to beautify the City of Ithaca. The most recent mural was done in the Dryden
Road parking garage and is beautiful. It has made a big difference in the appearance of the
garage in a very positive way.
Board of Public Works members voiced their support for the proposal; the resolution will be
placed on the September 14th agenda for a vote.
Director of Engineering West brought up a point of interest for the Board, as a result of the last
time that Director of Parking Nagy and Planner Wilson, took the proposal for the mural for the
Dryden Road parking garage to Common Council for support. Common Council members were
very surprised to find out that the City would be financing some of the cost of the mural painting.
It might be helpful, in the future, if statistics on costs for the clean-up of graffiti on City structures
versus the cost to support public art murals could be presented to Common Council to show
them how much maintenance costs have been reduced by the public art mural program. He
hoped that Mayor Myrick could assist staff in providing this information to Common Council at
future Common Council meetings. Mayor Myrick responded that he would because that was a
very fitting anecdote to share with Common Council members to encourage their support for the
program.
Board of Public Works members voiced their support for the proposal; the resolution will be
placed on the September 14th agenda for a vote.
Lake Street Public Park Enhancements - Design Alternatives - Proposed Resolution
WHEREAS, currently, the City of Ithaca Department of Public Works and Project Consultant
(Trowbridge & Wolf Landscape Architects LLP) are working on the Lake Street Public Park
Enhancement Project (“Enhancement”); and
WHEREAS, the Enhancement proposes safety improvements and aesthetic enhancements to
the existing public park located at the southeast corner of the Lake Street Bridge over Fall
Creek; and
WHEREAS, on December 1st, 2014, the Board of Public Works unanimously authorized staff to
undertake said Enhancement as part of the Lake Street Bridge Rehabilitation Project (CP#791);
and
WHEREAS, on February 5, 2015, Common Council approved an increase to CP #791 by an
amount not to exceed $30,000 for a total project authorization of $1,494,250; and
WHEREAS, multiple design alternatives are being considered for the project; and
WHEREAS, after consulting with the public and advisory groups, the City of Ithaca Engineering
Department, together with project consultant, has recommended a design alternative which
includes pedestrian safety rail design (wood handrail, galvanized steel posts with wider
galvanized mesh-Alternative 2B), chip seal pavement (Alternative 1) and chain with sign as an
alternative to a gate (Alternative 1); and
WHEREAS, the estimated total cost to implement the recommended alternative is $199,400;
and
WHEREAS, total funding of $199,500 for the Enhancement is derived from $30,000 in IURA
block grant monies, $97,500 from the Regional Economic Development Council, up to $11,000
from the City of Ithaca Sidewalk Program, $20,000 from the Tompkins County Tourism Capital
Grant Program, $30,000 from the issuance of Serial Bonds, and $11,000 from the Lake Street
Bridge Project; and, therefore be it further
RESOLVED, That the Board of Public Works hereby approves the implementation of the
recommended design alternative; and, be it further
Board of Public Works Meeting Minutes August 24, 2015

RESOLVED, That the Board of Public Works hereby authorizes the Superintendent of Public
Works to proceed with the recommended design.
Bridge Systems Engineer Gebre walked the Board through the proposed design alternatives.
He reported that both the Parks Commission and Natural Areas Commission provided input
about the project.
He reported that the main concerns about the project have centered around the safety rail and
pavement designs. He is looking to the Board for their input as to how to proceed with the
project, knowing the concerns and constraints of the project and the approved funding for it. He
stated that staff would recommend the wood and galvanized steel rail design to reflect the
natural area the project is located in, and provide for a longer life of the railing. Staff would
recommend concrete for the pathway; however, there was no support for concrete by the
Natural Areas Commission or the Parks Commission. Staff also recommends a chain gate with
a sign to close/open the pathway.
Mayor Myrick wanted to make sure that the proposed chipped seal for the trail is porous; staff
confirmed that it is. Commissioner Warden wanted to make sure that the chipped seal would be
wheelchair accessible; it will.
Commissioner Darling stated that he favors the use of concrete for the walkway. He visited the
area this past weekend, and feels that a concrete path would provide more access to everyone
and cost less cost for the City. He noted that the same type of proposed railing material –
galvanized steel – was also used for the Six Mile Creek Walkway. He wanted to know what kind
of repair work had been done on it by the City since it was installed. Asst. Supt. Benjamin
responded, none – and it’s been there 10 years and still looks good.
Director of Engineering West noted that staff can provide what the cost reduction would be to
replace a concrete walkway with chip seal, and using concrete would save $3,000.00.
Supt. Thorne stated that the chip seal has to be re-done every 8 years; concrete will last longer.
Mayor Myrick noted that the public, Natural Areas Commission, and Parks Commission would
push staff to take the project the other direction as far as what type of materials to use instead
of following staff’s recommendations.
Commission Darling reported that this is a very small place that people visit. The City of Ithaca
would be improving access for everyone by following staff recommendations for what type of
materials to use. If the City used the materials that the public and Natural and Parks
Commission recommend that they will need maintenance more often. In addition, the City will
end up paying more in maintenance and replacement costs if they are used. Concrete is
cheaper, lasts longer, and will provide more access for everyone to the area.
Bridge Systems Engineer Gebre stated that $12,500 would be saved by using galvanized
instead of stainless steel.
Director of Engineering West stated that staff feel all the proposed alternatives are good and the
City could live with them. What drives staffs’ recommendation is that the use of the proposed
materials fits within the authorization that the City has budgeted for it. It’s the Board's call; if it
does not have to go back to Common Council for additional funding, then the conversation is
done. If concrete is not used, it will place the project over budget and will need additional
funding and approval from Common Council.
Commissioner Darling expressed his support for the use of concrete with galvanized steel, and
the less expensive railing.
Bridge Systems Engineer Gebre noted that stainless steel could be used if the bike racks and
benches were eliminated from the project.

Mayor Myrick stated that he would rather not send the proposal back to Common Council for
additional funding approval. In addition, it’s aesthetically cleaner to use concrete because it’s
sturdier. He also has not supported the objections raised by the Natural Areas Commission and
Parks Commission; he would also vote for chip seal to make sure the project happens.
Commissioner Darling stated that the proposal provides better access than there is now for both
pedestrians and wheelchairs which would allow everyone to enjoy the space.
Mayor Myrick stated that he would vote in support of the proposed resolution at the September
14th meeting of the Board, and for a project that fits within its approved budget.
The resolution will be placed on the Board’s September 14th agenda for a vote.
Adjournment:
On a motion the meeting adjourned at 6:35 p.m.
