various city departments to the Downtown Ithaca Alliance such as police services,
maintenance of the glass roof on pavilion, fountain maintenance, sweeper, and other
routine operations, including preparation for special events. She stated that she is
interested in maintaining the significant investment made to the Commons, but she is
not confident that city departments have been appropriately funded to provide this level
of support in their existing budgets.

with the Parking Division regarding the new parking rules in place such as free weekend
parking, and the pre-paid parking hang tag program. Mayor Myrick explained that a
