Re: Rt 13 Pedestrian Crossings Enhancements
As you may well know,the City sponsored construction of the Rt 13 Pedestrian
Crossing Improvements at Third Street and Dey Street this summer. This project is a
federal aid project and has a mix of funding sources, including federal Transportation
Enhancement Program funds, other federal transportation dollars, Community
Development Block Grant funds, and City capital funding. Both federal aid and CDBG
funds are reimbursement programs and require the sponsor to spend money in the first
instance and seek reimbursement afterwards. In reviewing supplemental agreements
with the New York State Department of Transportation for the project,which only
recently became available,it has become clear that the City has not authorized in the
first instance all the funding that is available to the project (funding that, in large part,
we have already spent). This includes CDBG funds and additional federal
transportation funding under the National Highway Preservation Program. The
attached resolution is provided for your consideration and recommendation to
Common Council to authorize and borrow funding in the first instance. The only
remaining question is the final cost to finish the railroad crossings. Currently, we are
negotiating with Norfolk Southern Railroad for this matter. If you have any questions,
you can reach me at 274-6535 or tlogue@cityofithaca.org.
'An Equal Opportunity Employer with a commitment to workforce diversification." :�r�
Resolution in Support of the Living Wage in Tompkins County as the Minimum
Wage
Whereas, it is one of our most cherished values that there is dignity in work; and
Whereas, raising incomes is critical to providing economic mobility and opportunity for working
families; and
Whereas, the growth in income inequality in recent years has created serious divisions within our society
and community; and
Whereas, Tompkins is increasingly becoming two counties with a portion of the population thriving
while many more face low wages, growing inequality, erosion of middle-class jobs, housing costs
through the roof and the institutionalization of a low-wage service economy; and
Whereas, powerful corporations have effectively held down wages and benefits creating family- and
economy-busting jobs rather than jobs with opportunity; and
Whereas, a full-time minimum wage worker in New York earns $18,200, which is significantly below
the current living wage in Tompkins County of$29,827; and
Whereas, a higher minimum wage would likely increase spending on locally produced goods and
services by workers benefiting from such increased wages, which, in turn would likely produce greater
demand and help stimulate the local economy; and
Whereas, a higher minimum wage would likely reduce the cost of providing social services in the City
of Ithaca and Tompkins County; and
Whereas, our community has a proud tradition of advocating for worker rights and promoting economic
justice; and
Whereas, we as a community and we as a country can no longer accept wages that leave some without
hope of rising up and unable to support themselves or their families; and
Whereas, while raising the minimum wage locally may be considered too complicated for some, what's
really complicated is trying to live on $8.75/hour; now therefore be it
RESOLVED, That the City of Ithaca calls on the Tompkins County Legislature to pass a local minimum
wage law establishing the Tompkins County Living Wage ($14.34/hour) as the minimum wage, and
indexing it to the New York State median wage; and be it further
RESOLVED, That the City of Ithaca support the County further passing a home-rule request seeking the
authority to implement such a local minimum wage; and be it further
RESOLVED, That the City calls on the State Legislature to promptly pass said home-rule request.

Goal
• Utilizing the Requests Above the Mayor' s

included and what is not included before
the Mayor presents to Council in October.
• Focus of the discussion with Council
during the meetings will be on the
Requests Above the Mayor's budget that
were not included.
