“Cayuga Wetlands Restoration Project by New Roots Charter School –
Update/Presentation”
Mayor Myrick requested that this item be placed under “New Project Presentations”
No Board Member Objected
Communications and Hearings from Persons Before the Board:
No one appeared to address the Board
New Project Presentation:
A. Cayuga Wetlands Restoration Project by New Roots Charter School –
Update/Presentation
Jhakeem Haltom, Dean of Student Services, and a student from New Roots Charter
School, provided the following information on the project for the Board (additional
information will be attached to the minutes):
Mr. Haltom thanked the Board for the opportunity for the students to present this
proposal to them. He reported that the Parks Commission and the Hydrilla Task Force
have given their approval for the project; they received a permit and approval from New
York State Department of Environmental Conservation for the project – which took a
long time to obtain and will be valid until 2021. This wetlands project means a lot to the
young people at the school. He explained that because the water quality of the
southern end of Cayuga Lake is impaired and needs to be improved that the creation of
a marsh/wetland will help to filter and clean the water. He noted that the state of
California uses wetlands to treat all their water, and it has been very successful.
This project will provide a great opportunity for students in grades 9-12 to study the
natural habitats in the area, conduct water quality tests, and then study those results on
an ongoing basis; it will allow them to use and apply both math and science as they
conduct the research. They will be using a 50’ x 50’ cordoned off area of water near the
Cascadilla Boathouse; they have been working with a local nursery to purchase suitable
native plants for the area so that they do not bring any unwanted species into the lake.
The project area will be planted with cattails, arrowroot, and calamus. This approval
process has taken a long time and involved the school, the City, the Parks Commission,
the Board of Public Works, and New York State Department of Environmental

Conservation (NYSDEC). The project will not proceed until proper approval is given by
the City of Ithaca to them.
Sam, student from New Roots Charter School, thanked the Board and the City for its
willingness to work with the students and school. He stated that part of the mission
statement of the school is to provide for a more just and sustainable future. This project
will allow the students to have some power over the creation of sustainability for the
water and wildlife in the area as well has have a positive impact on the water quality of
Cayuga Lake. The students want to create a vibrant ecosystem and make that area of
the lake a safe and clean habitat for both vegetation and wildlife. The project will allow
for science and math applications of study by the taking of samples from the lake to
learn about what trends may be occurring as a result of the new marshland/wetland
installation, as well as what impacts it is having on the condition and water quality of the
lake.
Mayor Myrick stated that this project provides a great opportunity for the students to
make a positive impact on their community. He expressed his support for the project.
Mr. Haltom responded that this process for obtaining approval for the project is being
used to educate students on process and how to work with officials from their local
government. One of the things learned is that it can take a long time, and he
congratulates the students for sticking with their commitment for the project and seeing
it through to its final approval with the City of Ithaca.
Mayor Myrick suggested that, as the program takes off, it might be a good idea to reach
out to the Ithaca City School District for their interest in allowing their students to
participate in the program. It would provide a great learning opportunity for them as well
as provide some “free labor” to the New Roots Charter School on this ongoing effort.
Supt. Thorne asked, procedurally, what staff needs to do right now to help the students
start the project. Mayor Myrick responded that since the NYS DEC is permitting it the
City could endorse it.
Supt. Thorne stated that he would talk with the City Attorney’s office about whether the
Board needs to take any action (by way of resolution), other than to express its support
the project.
Board members expressed their support for the project and thanked Mr. Halthom and
the student representative for attending the meeting and providing the information about
the project to them. As part of that support, and since the students want to begin the
project on Tuesday, May 24, 2016, the Board of Public Works took the following action:
Support for New Roots Charter School “Cayuga Wetlands Restoration Project” -
Resolution
By Mayor Myrick: Seconded by Commissioner Darling
RESOLVED, That the Board of Public Works supports that allowance of the New Roots
Charter School to go forward with the Cayuga Wetlands Restoration Project; unless the
City Attorney determines it is illegal.
Carried Unanimously
Reports:
CC Liaison McGonigal reported that most Common Council members toured the house
at 401 Lake Street about eight days ago. They will vote on whether or not to sell the
property, put it back on the tax rolls or knock it down and make it part of the natural area
at their June 1, 2016 Common Council meeting.
Commissioner Warden, as liaison to the City of Ithaca Youth Bureau Advisory Board,
reported that recently improvements have been made at the large pavilion at Stewart
Park. The pavilion has been rented by fraternities and sororities and their events are
not supervised, they use staples on the walls to decorate (according to pavilion use
rules staples are not allowed), they serve beer which is spilled all over and the pavilion
is left in very poor condition. He is not sure what should be done about those types of
Board of Public Works Meeting Minutes May 23,2016

problems; perhaps changes in how the pavilion is rented, charging more for its use, or
collecting a security deposit might be helpful.
Commissioner Darling suggested that the rules that New York State Parks follows for
their shelter rental be reviewed. He noted that the New York State Parks staff are able
to provide more supervision of their pavilions than the City can – which makes a big
difference.
Mayor Myrick suggested that Commissioner Warden meet and work with Youth Bureau
Director Vance on possible changes to the rules and rates for the rental and use of the
pavilions at Stewart Park. He agreed that security deposits make the most sense for
functions of over 10 people; if implementation of updated rules for pavilion use are
needed, a resolution can be placed on a future agenda for the Board to vote on.
Commissioner Darling, liaison to the Planning and Development Board, reported that
the Board would be meeting tomorrow. One of the items on the agenda is the new
project at 201 College Avenue; they would like to construct a bump-out to accommodate
utility lines. Commissioner Greene responded that the Board discussed this project at
their last meeting and were supportive of it; Commissioner Darling was unable to attend
that meeting.
Director of Engineering Logue reported that the Tioga Street Project will go out for bid
soon. The day after the last BPW meeting, the Ithaca Landmarks Preservation
Commission (ILPC) met and voted that city should restore the sandstone curb on the
300 and 400 blocks of North Tioga Street after that work is done. The City found a
supplier in Syracuse that has reclaimed material (sand stone) for sale, so prices will be
compared. If the difference in cost is less than 20% of the material that was removed,
then the City will have to comply with the ILPC vote. If the cost more than 20%, the City
can make an appeal to Common Council to not have to restore the sand stone curb due
to the cost.
Director of Engineering Logue further reported that he has signed agreements with
Norfolk Southern Railroad to finish the Route 13 crossings. He hopes that work will be
done this year; however, they are proposing to fully close the crossings while the work
is done so all of the work can be completed at once. That complete closing would cause
problems for a lot of people, including trucks to and from the Water Treatment Plant and
the Ithaca Farmer’s Market.
A new Sidewalk Program Manager has been hired, his name is John Lucitra, and he will
begin work on Friday, May 27, 2016.
Asst. Supt. Benjamin reported that Streets & Facilities crews are following along behind
the Water and Sewer crews to get patches in on the road after their excavation work on
South Aurora Street is completed. Both crews are also working on the 300 block of
South Cayuga Street to keep up with the utility patching after Water and Sewer crews
complete their work. Crews will also be going in to place mortar underneath some
bridges where the granite areas have worn away and the rebar is rotted; this work will
keep them from dropping. Several staff members will be using their time on the
upcoming long Memorial Day weekend because if they don’t they’ll lose it. So Streets
and Facilities staffing will be skeletal on Friday.
Supt. Thorne reported, on behalf of Asst. Supt. Whitney, that the Water and Sewer
department will be working to install two new water and sewer services on South Aurora
Street. One at the Marriott Hotel, and then they will move to the Simeon’s building. The
work on the Marriott should be completed by Wednesday, and they hope to complete
the work at Simeon’s by the end of the week.
Supt. Thorne then reported that “Paddles and More” will be the vendor licensed in
Stewart and Cass Parks to rent out canoes, kayaks, and paddle boards. That program
will begin this weekend. The Dryden Road project is moving along, it’s a complicated
project, and everyone seems to be working together which is helping it go smoothly.
They will close Dryden Road at College Avenue on June 13, and they are looking at a
possible six week closure - just because of the way the work needs to be sequenced.

A brief discussion followed on the floor regarding the boat rental set up and the goose
population at Stewart Park.
Highways, Streets and Sidewalks:
A. Award of Contract for Professional Services for the University Avenue
Rehabilitation - Resolution
By Commissioner Greene: Seconded by Commissioner Warden
WHEREAS, professional services proposals were received on February 12, 2016 for
the University Avenue Rehabilitation project; and
WHEREAS, staff has reviewed the four proposals received and made recommendations
for award; and
WHEREAS, engineering studies and designs are a Type II action requiring no further
review under the State Environmental Quality Review Act and the City Environmental
Quality Review Ordinance; now, therefore be it
RESOLVED, That the City of Ithaca Board of Public Works hereby awards the
professional services contracts for the University Avenue Rehabilitation project to
Erdman Anthony and Associates, of Rochester, New York, for an amount not to exceed
$115,000; and, be it further
RESOLVED, That the Superintendent of Public Works be hereby authorized to enter
into said contracts under the usual terms and conditions.
Carried Unanimously
B. Appeal of Invoice to Replace a Light Post After A Motor Vehicle Accident -
Resolution
By Commissioner Jenkins: Seconded by Commissioner Warden
WHEREAS, On January 11, 2016 Mitga Stragapede was involved in a motor vehicle
accident and struck a City light pole near the intersection of Columbia and Giles St.; and
WHEREAS, City crews ordered and replaced the light pole and fixture and sent a bill of
$6272.38 to driver listed on the police report; and
WHEREAS, Mitga Stragapede requested the bill be waived because of slippery road
conditions that contributed the accident as well as other accidents at that location that
same morning; and
WHEREAS, upon confirming the information from Mitga Stragapede, weather and road
conditions and the police report, and in the review of the bill, Assistant Superintendent
Benjamin noted there was an error in a benefit rate and that only the City’s bare cost for
materials and labor where charged, but the standard 25% administrative fee was higher
than our actual costs because of the high cost of the replacement pole and fixture; and
WHEREAS, The Board of Public Works noted that had private property been damaged
the driver would be responsible for any repairs or replacement and the City should
expect the same, and is only seeking to cover its actual costs; now, therefore be it
RESOLVED, That the request to expunge the bill is denied and that a corrected bill be
issued with the administrative fee waived for a total cost of $4,932.98.
Carried Unanimously
Discussion Items:
A. Negative Declaration of Environmental Significance for the Brindley Street
Bridge Replacement Project – Proposed Resolution
WHEREAS, State law and regulations and Section 176.6 of the City Code of the City of
Ithaca require that a lead agency be established for conducting environmental review of
certain proposed actions, in accordance with applicable law; and
Board of Public Works Meeting Minutes May 23,2016
5
WHEREAS, State regulations and the City Code specify that the lead agency shall be
that agency which has primary responsibility for undertaking, approving or funding the
action; and
WHEREAS, the existing Brindley Street Bridge is a single span, single lane multiple
steel girder bridge carrying Brindley Street over the Cayuga Inlet; and
WHEREAS, Brindley Street Bridge Replacement Project (“the Project”) involves the
replacement of the Brindley Street Bridge with a two lane structure with additional
accommodations for bicyclists and pedestrians including necessary approach and
intersection improvement; and
WHEREAS, the preferred design alternative will involve the relocation of Brindley Street
by connecting Taber Street with the West State Street/Taughnnock Boulevard
intersection together with the necessary intersection improvement; and
WHEREAS, on April 11, 2016, the Board of Public Works declared to act as a lead
agency for the environmental review of the proposed project; and
WHEREAS, appropriate environmental review has been conducted including the
preparation of a Full Environmental Assessment Form (FEAF) Part I, II and III; and
WHEREAS, the Board of Public Works of the City of Ithaca, acting as Lead Agency, has
reviewed the FEAF Part I, II, and III; now, therefore be it
RESOLVED, That Board of Public Works, as lead agency in this matter, hereby
determines that the Project will not have a significant effect on the environment, and
that further environmental review is unnecessary; and, be it further
RESOLVED, That this resolution constitutes notice of this negative declaration and
requests that staff provide notice of the same to all involved and interested agencies.
Director of Engineering Logue reported that this item has been on the Board’s agenda
for a few meetings in a row. He stated that some of the comments received were that
people felt that the environmental assessment forms had been light in their writing. The
draft design report has all that environmental information (360 pages); which could be
included or referenced (see information attached to the minutes). The environmental
work has been completed, it is just not written out in the full Environmental Assessment
Form (EAF). The information is available on the City’s website under “Community
Projects” for anyone who would like to review it. The Board of Public Works has the
responsibility, as the lead agency for the project, of knowing that so the information can
be shared with the public as needed. The EAF’s are being updated to include that
reference; that was important to do especially since this project is on the agenda for
tomorrow’s Planning and Development Board meeting. This resolution will be added to
the June 13th agenda, where it would be good for the Board to vote on it since it has
been discussed a couple of times already. If anyone has questions, please let him
know.
Request for an Encroachment Agreement at 400-404 Stewart Avenue - Proposed
Resolution
WHEREAS, Jason Demarest, as representative for the owner of 400-404 Stewart Ave
in the City of Ithaca (Tax Map Parcel No. 63-1-6, MSW Management, LLC owner of
record), has requested a permanent easement from the City into the adjacent Stewart
Ave and Osmun Place rights-of-way; and
WHEREAS, the encroachment consists of the following:
An encroachment extending into the City-owned airspace from the building located on
400-404 Stewart Avenue no more than two feet as follows: to the south and running
parallel to the building face and Osmun Place for 51 feet and to the east running parallel
to the building face and Stewart Avenue for 64.50 feet.
; and
Board of Public Works Meeting Minutes May 23,2016
6
WHEREAS, it appears that the proposed encroachment into the City’s airspace will not
interfere with the right-of-way as currently constituted; and
WHEREAS, the Superintendent does not anticipate any conflicts in the near future with
public works uses or needs; and
WHEREAS, the recommended fee for this permanent easement is $33,812.28, based
on the Pomeroy appraisal value of $833.47 for one year of use at the current appraisal
rate in Collegetown of $2.87 per square foot, calculated out for a thirty year depreciation
period and 2% rate of inflation; now, therefore be it
RESOLVED, That the Board recommends that Common Council authorize the Mayor to
sign the necessary paperwork to grant the easement described above.
Mayor Myrick noted that the property has been sold and wondered whether the name
had been changed. Director of Engineering Logue responded that he has been in
discussions with Mr. Demarest, agent for the previous owner, who explained that the
property sale paperwork was signed so that the easement would go to whoever owns
the land and not a particular property owner. It would be good to review now assuming
the new property owner wants to do the same thing. Mayor Myrick stated that he
supports the proposal.
Supt. Thorne stated that he and Assistant City Attorney Flaherty discussed the
proposal; the cost is incorrect so any resolution brought back to the Board will have the
correct amount listed.
Director of Engineering Logue explained that this request for an encroachment consists
of two parts – one for the canopy which was on the property in the past and the other is
a footer in one corner of the property that is relatively deep. The City doesn’t have a
problem with either easement and would suggest that both agreements be done at the
same time. He also reported that the request has received approval from the Ithaca
Landmarks Preservation Commission and the Planning and Development Board. He
doesn’t believe there are any other entitlement requirements needed.
Board Members expressed their support for the proposal. The resolution will be placed
on the agenda for the June 13th board meeting for approval.
Recommendation to Authorize a Donor’s Walls Inside Cass Park Rink – Proposed
Resolution
WHEREAS, the City is currently proceeding with Phase II, Year 1 of 2 of the Cass Park
Ice Rink Renovations project; and
WHEREAS, Phase II, Year 2 of the project contemplates enclosure of the Cass Park
Arena and improvements for the conditioned air system, ventilation, and spectator and
skater areas; however, at this time, the City has not appropriated funding for Year 2
project goals; and
WHEREAS, in support of the Phase II, Year 2 plans, Friends of the Ithaca Youth Bureau
has offered to fundraise and donate towards this project; and
WHEREAS, Friends of Ithaca Youth Bureau has recommended that the Youth Bureau
create wall space no larger than 8 feet by 12 feet within the renovated Cass Park Ice
Rink to display the names of donors for a term of twenty years, and the Youth Bureau is
supportive of the proposal; and
WHEREAS, General City Law §20(3) empowers the City to accept gift, grants, or
donations upon terms and conditions between the donor and City; now, therefore be it
RESOLVED, That the Board of Public Works supports and recommends that the
Common Council authorize the City’s placement of a donor’s wall no larger than 8 feet
by 12 feet within the renovated Cass Park Ice Rink to display the names of donors for a
term of twenty years.

CC Liaison McGonigal stated that his only concern about the request is that the board
not be too big.
Board Members expressed their support for the proposal, a resolution will be placed on
the June 13th agenda for a vote.
Vegetation Management in the City Cemetery:
City Forester Jeanne Grace would like to utilize a local herd of dwarf Southdown Baby
Doll Sheep to maintain the vegetation in the cemetery where crews are not able to get
equipment for mowing. The farmer will bring the sheep to the cemetery a couple times a
month to feed on the grass in the difficult to reach areas, stay there with them, and take
them back after they’re finished (pictures of the Southdown Baby Doll Sheep will be
attached to the minutes).
Discussion followed on the floor regarding how many sheep will be needed, that this
was standard practice 100 years ago in the City (to pasture animals around the city to
maintain lawns), and how successful a similar program has been in other areas.
Asst. Supt. Benjamin explained that the Board had already approved the request; staff
wanted them to be aware that the program was going to begin now. If there are
problems, then they will not continue the program.
Recommendation to Replace Pole and Flashing Beacons on Cornell Street:
WHEREAS, a concrete pole and flashing beacons in the vicinity of Belle Sherman
Elementary school has failed; and
WHEREAS, staff has reviewed the location and recommends the pole, and its
equivalent on the other side of Cornell Street, be replaced, along with the flashing
beacons mounted on the poles by City crews; now, therefore be it
RESOLVED, That the City of Ithaca Board of Public Works hereby recommends to
Common Council that this project be funded in the amount of $14,000 from their
unrestricted contingency budget to have this work accomplished.
Director of Engineering Logue explained that the new lights will be solar powered. The
item will be going to the June City Administration Committee meeting, and then onto the
July 6, Common Council meeting for approval.
Board Members expressed their support for the proposal. Director of Engineering
Logue will bring the resolution back to the June 13th meeting for a vote.
Department of Public Works - Request to Establish a Capital Project for ADA
Ramps and Pedestrian Enhancements in Various Locations Around the City
WHEREAS, Section 14-k of the Transportation law establishes the Multi-Modal (MM)
Programs 1,2,3 and 4 that may fund eligible project costs for capital projects approved
by the Commissioner of Transportation; and
WHEREAS, in February 9, 2015, the Board of Public Works discussed possible projects
to submit for NYS MM funding and selected a project to improve sidewalk curb ramps to
meet requirements of the Americans with Disabilities Act and to enhance pedestrian
street crossings at various locations around the City; and
WHEREAS, the City of Ithaca has been nominated to receive $250,000 from the New
York State Multi-Modal Program for ADA ramps and pedestrian enhancements such as
curb bulb-outs; and
WHEREAS, Common Council is desirous of progressing this reimbursement project;
now, therefore be it
RESOLVED, That Common Council hereby establishes Capital Project #____
Pedestrian Enhancements, Bulb-outs and ADA Ramps, in the amount not to exceed
Board of Public Works Meeting Minutes May 23,2016
8
$250,000 for the purposes of designing and constructing such improvements; and, be it
further
RESOLVED, That funding for said Capital Project shall be derived from the issuance of
Serial Bonds with the understanding that all eligible expenses will be reimbursed by the
MM Program; and, be it further
RESOLVED, That the Mayor of the City of Ithaca is hereby authorized to enter into any
and all agreement(s) with the State of New York related to this project, upon review by
the City Attorney; and, be it further
RESOLVED, That this project be undertaken with the understanding that the final cost
of the Project to the City of Ithaca will be roughly 0% of said portion, currently estimated
at $0 of the $250,000 authorized for this portion of the project, in monies and in-kind
services as managed by the Superintendent of Public Works and monitored by the City
Controller.
Director of Engineering Logue explained that there would be small cost to the City to
borrow the funds; however, there won’t be a need to have this cost rolled over for
permanent financing.
Board Members expressed their support the proposal. The resolution will be placed on
the June 13th agenda for a vote by the Board.
Carbon Monoxide Monitoring Project - City Facilities
Director of Engineering Logue explained that the City would need to establish a budget
for this project – either through use of contingency funds or the establishment of a
capital project. There will be a cost for the initial installation of the detectors. They will
have to be hard-wired, with some being tied into the fire alarm system and some not,
and they cannot be battery operated detectors. The requirement has a completion
deadline of June 30, 2016; the requirement is the result of new regulations from the
New York State Building Code but does not include any funding from the State. The
regulation applies to commercial buildings, and city buildings fall into that category.
CC Liaison McGonigal stated that in today’s newspaper Governor Cuomo suggests that
local governments spend less money and that would solve the State’s budget problems.
In an effort to support that suggestion, he would propose that the City not fund this
project.
Mayor Myrick responded that either way, whether the Board supports it or not, this
proposal will come to Common Council for the establishment of a budget for it. So, a
protest vote by Council Members would be understandable; he also understands why
carbon dioxide detectors are needed.
Commissioner Greene noted that with all the new technology on the market, the
detectors may be cheaper. He asked what the requirement specifics are for the
detectors.
Director of Engineering Logue responded that different zones equal different
requirements. The funding for the project would help to determine what the City needs
to do to be in compliance with the law and how it should be done.
Board Members expressed their support for the proposal. A resolution will be placed on
the June 13th agenda for a vote.
Adjournment:
On a motion the meeting adjourned at 5:55 p.m.
