Expiration Date: Until Further Notice
TO: ALL PUBLIC HOUSING AUTHORITIES
SUBJECT: INTERIM RULE 24 CFR PART 869: CONTINUED OPERATION OF
PUBLIC HOUSING AFTER COMPLETION OF DEBT SERVICE
On August 7, 1980 (45 FR 52371), HUD published an Interim Rule for
the purpose implementing certain amendments to Section 9 of the United
States Housing Act of 1937 (Act), pertaining to the continued operation
of a public housing project as low-income housing after the completion
of debt service for the project. These statutory changes were made by
Section 211 of the Housing and Community Development Amendments of
1979.
The Interim Rule is effective September 15, 1980. It applies to all
low-income public housing projects which, on or after September 15, 1980,
are owned by a Public Housing Agency (PHA) and are subject to Annual
Contributions Contracts (ACCs) under Section 5 of the Act. It requires
that, as a prior condition for HUD approval of any future operating subsidy
for such a project, an amendment to the ACC governing that project be
executed by the PHA in accordance with Section 869.105 of the Rule.
PHAs neither receiving nor requesting operating subsidy are not required
to amend their ACCs.
Please be advised that all PHAs with Fiscal Years beginning October 1, 1980
must execute this amendment by January 1, 1981. All other PHAs must execute
the prescribed amendment before their operating budget can be approved.
Accordingly, attached to this notice you will find a copy of the amendatory
agreement form to be used.
Each PHA is urged to submit the executed copy of the amendment, along
with a copy of the Board of Commissioners' approval to this office as soon
as possible.
If you have any questions regarding this matter, feel free to contact
George Fanelli at (716) 846-4230.

Attention: Maurice Dusky, President
Reference: Roof Repairs to Northside Apartments and Southview Apartments
Gentlemen:
During the last week of December 1980 several leaks occurred at the Southview
Apartments that apparently were a direct result of the present roofing construction.
Our investigation of these leaks is summarized as follows:
A. Apartment 410, 29 December:
I. Water leaked into wall partitions on second floor overnight, running out
onto the floor at the base. Water also was dripping from a structural
beam at the time of the investigation.
2. Water from second floor leaked into first floor hall light fixtures and
stained the adjocent ceiling area.
3. Leaks occurred at stairwell ceiling, staining walls and ceiling.
B. Apartment 410A, 29 December:
I. _ Overnight leaking at stairwell caused water staining of walls and
adjacent living room ceiling areas. In addition portions of gypsum board
and spackling were soaked and crumbling.
2. Water staining occurred in master bedroom ceiling.
C. Apartment 410B, 29 December:
I. . Small water stain in one bedroom.
D. Apartment 4 IOC, 29 December:
I. Leaking overnight occurred in three bedrooms, hall and stairwell
ceilings. Water also ran inside second floor wall partitions and leaked
ti
O'Brien Taube
•
5 January 1981
into first floor bathroom and living room ceilings. An area of gypsum
board in bathroom ceiling had buckled and many areas of water staining
appeared.
2. Areas of gypsum board in the stairwell walls were soaked and bulging at
the time of this inspection.
3. In addition, in several places along the juncture of the second floor
ceilings and wall partitions, cracking has occurred that is apparently
attributable to careless handling of concrete blocks used to secure
temporary waterproofing prior to start of the new construction.
4. A tree just outside the entrance has been damaged by refuse thrown
from the roof.
E. Apartment 306B, 30 December:
I. Leaking caused water staining of ceilings in one bedroom hall and
stairwell. Water also ran inside second floor partitions and leaked into
living room ceiling.
F. Apartment 308A:
I. Water leaked into bathroom exhaust vent.
The major cause for all these leaks was apparently the clearing of snow from the existing
roof surfaces prior to start of the new work. Existing blisters and buckles were broken
by the workers during the clearing process. Also, careless shoveling damaged existing
roof membranes enough to allow the penetration of moisture into the units below, which
occured primarily during the after Christmas thaw.
The Contractor is responsible for correcting these problems promptly after receiving
written notice thereof. In addition, you are responsible for repairing any damage
resulting from the water penetration.
As you may be aware the leaking at these apartments not only damages interior surfaces,
but also causes a great deal of inconvenience for the occupants, who need to relocate
furnishings and intercept the leaks and the Housing Authority, which must respond to the
resulting complaints after normal working hours.
The secondary cause of these leaks, as well as previous ones is your general lack of
quality workmanship in the interest of rapid completion. This has also shown up in the
lack of adequate refuse removal and the constant need on our part to inform the work
force pf incorrect or inadequate construction during the progress of the work.
O'Brien Taube
5 January 1981
Our main concern is to have you provide the Housing Authority with a quality product in
the end. The Contractor is responsible for assuring adequate quality control so that we
get what was in the Contract Documents.
In the event we cannot be assured of the highest quality workmanship, we will exercise
our responsibility to stop the work and counsel the Housing Authority to seek other
recourse to complete the work in accordance with the Contract Documents.
Sincerely,
O'Brien Taube Associates, P.C.

be forecoming in about 14 days.
We are at this time requesting your help in
Y(7 protecting the monies due us from the D & V Develop-

Subj : Southview Apartments
Dear Sir:
In reply to your letter of January 5, 1981.
We are fully aware of the roof leaks which occurred at
the Southview Apartments as a result of and unexpected
thaw. As I stated to you at the site that day, we will
correct the damage .
Your mention of the careless shoveling was uncalled
for. How else can you remove ice and snow from a flat
roof under these conditions . Naturally blisters and
buckles or the existing flat deck will be broken with
the removal of ice. This is to be expected in the
months of December and January .
Our main concern also is to provide a quality product
and we are doing so under very adverse conditions .
There has been no lack of quality workmanship. in the
interest of rapid completion. Our concern is to be able
to clear and cover a roof section within a specific
time frame. Debris removal is done on an almost daily
basis , on occasion it has remained overnight in the
container because Seymour Disposal could not get to us .
No where in your letter has it been stated that our men
have worked under the most adverse conditions. Tempera-
tures at times have reached -20°. In the best interest
of all parties , let 's not made totally negative comments
about what we have accomplished.
Very ruly,
Maurice A. Dusky

Subj : Roof repairs Northside and Southview Apts.
Apt. 312F - Northside Apts .
Dear Sir:
In reference to your letter dated December 22, 1980.
Item #1
We are not in agreement . All indications within the .
apartment show evidence of leaking for several years .
Item #2
it is very possible that blowing snow penetrated the
ridge vent. A normal amount would not show damage within
the apartment.
Item #3
The existing vents have not been completely_ flashed
because of a delay in the delivery of our. order.
However we feel that the existing vents are substantially
weather tight.
Item #4
Yes , the entire underside of the roof sheathing is wet .
We agree. However, we do not agree on items A and B.
We are aware of items 5 , 6 and 7 and feel strongly that
this condition had occurred prior to our contract as well
as since the start of our contract .

Attn: Mr. Dennis Meek, R. A.
As discussed in our conversation this morning, Mr. Vent
explained to you that he has repaired several such
problematical apartments erected by the Stirling Homex
Corporation.
Mr. Vent intends to supervise our people in _the _ removal
of the soffitts from under the front and rear overhangs
of the second story. He will inspect and correct the
insulation problem that he has found in the past causes
hot air to penetrate the wall and attic areas . This
excessive amount of hot air allows high condensation
buildup in the attic area. In addition, the new roof
has compounded the problem as the double layer of roofing
considerably reduces the breathing potential .
We will repair and install a new ceiling in the bedroom
of apartment 312F.
After the ventilation problem has been corrected, we will ,
along with your office, make periodic inspections to assure
all parties that the condition has been eliminated. We
would then like to meet to resolve the expense of these
repairs. .
Yours truly,,

Tompkins County Task Force for battered Women
PO Box 164, I t haca, New York 14850
607 277 - 3203 RECEIVED FEB 251,931
February 24 , 1981
Ms. Viola Scott , Chairwoman
Ithaca Housing Authority
800 S . Plain Street
Ithaca, NY 14850
Dear Ms. Scott :
As you may know, the Task Force for Battered Women offers
support and assistance to victims of domestic violence . Our
assistance includes not only crisis intervention , but also
helping women with the follow-up services and resources
they might need , especially housing . For many women and
children leaving violent situations , locating housing is
a primary problem.
In light of these circumstances , we would like to inquire
about the possibility of giving Section 8 priority consideration
to victims of domestic violence in our area. It is our
understanding that Section 8 priority consideration may be
given to families leaving battered women ' s shelters , provided
the public housing authority receives approval for the local
preference from the H. U. D. field office . Since the option
to grant preference to victims of domestic violence is a
local decision-, we request that you consider this matter
at an upcoming Board meeting .
We are making the request at this time because , thanks
to the United Way, the Task Force will be opening a temp-
orary shelter on March 1 where two or three battered women
and their children can stay for approximately two weeks .
During this stay, women will be expected to look for long-term
housing. Having Section 8 assistance would greatly increase
the likelihood of victims who have little or no income
being able to find affordable housing . This would enable them to
establish new lives free from violence .
We hope that you will give serious consideration to
our request and look forward to your response . If you.
have any questions , please feel free to contact us at the
above number during business hours.
Thank you for your time and attention.
Sincerely,
Patricia Valls
Director

ENGINEERING SURVEY
ITHACA HOUSING AUTHORITY
Conducted by: Alan Harrington, Maintenance Engineer
Date of Survey: January 16, 1981 RECEIVED FEB 1719 81
Date of Report: February 2, 2981
Titus Tower - NY 54-1A
1. rater at showers does not get hot enough soon enough. The problem results from
an inbalance in flows through the hot water system that results because
the recirculating lines are larger in diameter than the supply line. To
correct the supply line would be an expensive venture. Therefore, we suggest
that your engineers explore the following alternatives:
a. Reverse the supply and return connections to the storage tank.
b. Shut down recirculating pump and/or provide a supply line pump.
c. Reduce the size of the return line from the pump to the tank.
2. There are two recurrent leaks on the 13th floor. One occurs adjacent to the
window at unit #1302 when the wind blows rain against the side of the building,
and one occurs at #1306 at a wall in the center of the unit.
The roof at this building was repaired about two years ago.
The Housing Authority maintenance personnel should inspect the roof, using
procedures outlined in the LHA Management Guide, Part V, Section 16, Roof
Maintenance Guide, and building walls in these areas to ascertain if there are
any obvious flaws in masonry joints, flashings, counterflashings or the roof
surface that can be repaired by caulking or sealing with a master compound.
Flaws of.a more serious nature should be referred to an experienced contractor.
3. Boiler room exits have open space at the bottom of the doors which could let in
cold air and freeze pipes.
Sweep strips should be provided to weatherstrip boiler room door bottoms.
4. Areas that house mechanical equipment are used for the storage of out of season
grounds equipment and materials. This complicates housekeeping and could easily
create a safety hazard.
Consideration should be given to installing shelving and wall hooks where space
is available for storage of materials and equipment. An on-site storage building
for mower decks and other tractor accessories may also be used.
Overlook Terrace - NY 54-2
1. Gutters at the project should be inspected annually to assure that they are free
of pine needles.
2 `./
2. Conditions at this project have been significantly improved by modernization
work done in the units. All ten units are now occupied.
Grounds improvements that would provide parking pads between the buildings
and the street could provide adequate parking space without traversing the steep
drive to the mid-level which could provide recreational facilities. Available
modernization funds could be used for this purpose.
3. Fireplaces at the four larger units should be examined for weathertightness.
It is likely that fireplace openings can be enclosed to avoid loss of building
heat when they are in use.
Northview - NY 54-1B & NY 54-4
1. Reroofing work done by the contractor on this site cannot be considered complete
until a final inspection is made and all roofing materials and debris are removed
from the site.
2. Community building space that is used for storage does not need heat. The
temperature in this space should be reduced.
3. When units are refurbished at turnover with new underlayment and finish flooring
small areas should not remain with the original materials. Similarily, original
incandescent fixtures should be replaced with energy saving fluorescents at
turnover.
Southview - NY 54-5
1. Installation of new shingle roof deck sections was in progress. There was an
area where snow had fallen on new insulation which was pointed out to the
contractor's personnel along with some roof material that needed to be covered.
2. Additional on-site inspections should be supplied by the architects to assure
that non-conforming work is corrected. The Authority should appropriately
compensate the architect for the additional work.
3. We agree with the Authority's Board of Directors' observations of the sample
window installed at the project.
When the problem items have been corrected to your satisfaction the purchase
and installation of windows should be implemented.

moderate income families can afford. Their costs
will continue to go up and the only beneficiaries will be
those households lucky enough to be able to afford
luxury housing with swimming pools, sauna baths,
tennis courts, etc.
r
Further, there are millions of elderly people living
in single-family housing which is not energy efficient
on a per capita basis and is a major cost burden for
them. The construction of new energy efficient housing
for senior citizens is a major tool for meeting the
{ nation' s energy conservation goals which are closely
related to our fight to reduce inflation.
We might also point out that this new construction
provides about one on-site construction jobs and two .
secondary jobs for each dwelling unit which is con-
structed. The job loss due to the housing cuts will 'V
move people from the ranks of the gainfully employed
to the unemployment and welfare rolls. It will not
result in a budget saving; it will merely shift people
from one budget line to another. And it is poor
economics to spend dollars for unemployment payments .
•
rather than for a useful product that serves an urgent
national need.
Wedo recognize that it is the President' s goal to
shift from public sector construction to private sector
• activity and we think that this is basically laudable.
But, it will take a number of years for this shift to
occur and, in the meantime, housing costs will rise
and the unemployment rate will increase. We believe
that a more careful staging plan can be devised which
will avoid these awful side effects.
. . .For similar reasons we believe that President Reagan
erred when he did not give attention to the lack of
adequate mortgage financing for low income housing con-
struction authorized in previous budget years. There
are several hundred thousand units which cannot go into
construction because of a lack of mortgage funding at
a rate which will make development possible within the
rental limits imposed by HUD. An appropriation of
GNMA-tandem funds is urgently needed or the use of other
NYSARHO Position Paper

steps which will free up this construction and put a
half million building craftsman back to work and help
to alleviate the serious and inflationary housing
crunch. ,
. . .We think it is penny wise and pound foolish to
scrap the Section 312 housing rehabilitation loan
program. It is not hard to understand that it is
good economics to lend $5, 000 or so to preserve a
house now, rather than to let it decay and have to
lend $75,000 to replace it a few years from now. ,,
•
. . .We applaud the President' s decision to retain the
Urban Development Action Grant Program. But, we sub-
scribe to the theory of "if it ain't broke don't
fix it. " This program has worked efficiently and
equitably. It has generated an impressive ratio of
private capital investment of public cost in our nations
more distressed areas. Any changes in the way that
such a wellrunning program is administered or funded - ~-
are likely to have major side effects. We suggest
that it would be a mistake to tinker with it.
. . .As .an organization concerned with the broad problems
of older -urban-areas and their less affluent people
we question the wisdom of some of the other proposed
budget cuts and proposals.
The concept that poor families should pay 30% of thein
income for housing hits hardest at those who can least
afford it. For many it will mean that they will require
supplementary welfare assistance in order to survive.
This only trades one .federal cost for another and is
contrary to the accepted goal of helping our poor
families to make it without suffering the loss of dignity
involved in the welfare approach.
The reduction of mass transit operating subsidies,
CETA jobs, food stamp allocations, assistance to
college students from poor households and other social
services programs for the poor will create a huge
burden for our beleagured cities and their already
financially struggling citizens. The aspects of the
President' s program are anti-city and anti-poor people.
Despite our economic problems the nation cannot afford
to ignore these needs.
NYSARHO Position Paper
February 19, 1981
Page 4
There are other less critical areas of federal
spending that can be cut or d .ffered. For example,
we cite the major water projects in sun belt states
that are economically prospering; the substantial
subsidies for construction of inland waterways; the
space-shuttle and other space programs; subsidies for
tobacco growers. . .among others. A relaxation of gcvern-
ment regulations to permit greater use of domestic
coal resources without need for subsidies and a reduc-
tion of northeastern states energy costs would be
far more cost effective to our economy than are any
• subsidies or loan guarantees to a highly speculative
synfuels industry.
And, if there is an absolute need for additional defense H
spending then there at least ought to be a requirement •
that a high percentage of the new jobs which will be
created shall be located within municipalities or
regions that are distressed so that there is an offset
to the negative impacts of some of the budget cutting
proposals.
•
* * *
We hope that the Congress will take a long careful and h'
non-partisan look at President Reagan' s proposals. The
nation certainly needs some changes inits economic
directions. But, each individual program change needs
to -be weighed in terms of its direct and indirect relation- ji
ships to the nation' s economy and its impacts on those
people who are not at the top of the economic ladder.
We do not believe that hasty action is necessary or
desirable. President Nixon' s housing moratorium and
other urban program cuts in February 1973 resulted in
a very speedy brake on the national economy. It was a
major factor in triggering the worst recession in the
post World War II period. It was very difficult to
-recover from that. And very costly: President Carter' s
administration obviously did not very carefully think
through its economic policies.

From these mistakes we have learned that it is important
to have a comprehensive well thought out and sensitive
economic program. We need to start with a balance sheet
that considers not only what we can afford, but what our
most urgent priorities are, and how to achieve a transi-
tion which will deal sensitively with all of the problems
that are involved in the very process of change.

INSPECTION REPORT SUMMARY
PROJECT: Roof Repairs to
Northside Apartments
Southview Apartments
Ithaca, New York
31 NOVEMBER - 6 DECEMBER 1980
Contractors started work 2 December 1980 without notifying the Architect and without
having made any submittals or having received any approvals. The Contractor called the
Architect to the job site because of unforeseen conditions that would necessitate
additional work by the Contractor. At this field meeting attended by M. Dusky
D. Stevens, D. Meek and M. Inglis, it was decided that the Contractors should begin
shingles at the edge of the roof, rather than 12” above the edge as originally specified
because of the 16" dimension of the existing edge flashing. The Contractor was to submit
a price for this additional work. The shingles already delivered to job site were approved
for Northside in order to expedite the work; they were the same color as existing. Other
materials were rejected. A further meeting was held to discuss the matter of
submittals.
Color schemes were submitted to the IHA for approval; approved color scheme was given
to the Contractor. A meeting was held with the truss supplier to discuss shop drawings
and the special problems of Building "D".
It was decided by the Architect that because of the rapid nature of the roofing process,
and the demonstrated tendency of the Contractor to proceed without authorization or, in
some cases, understanding of the Architect's intent, the job should be inspected more
often than bi-weekly, perhaps as often as daily.
WEEK OF 7 - 13 DECEMBER 1980
Complaints by tenants, IHA, the City and the Architect concerning trash blowing around
the site were conveyed to the Contractor. Improved clean-up was promised, as well as a
dumpster, which was delivered later in the week.
Leaks reported 9 December 1980 at 312C Third Street and at 311 Fourth Street were
inspected and could not be confirmed.
Work was completed at Northside, except new flashing cit roof penetrations and some
small areas of roofing.
O'Brien Taube
II February 1981
WEEK OF 14-20 DECEMBER 1980
Work was started at Southview. Trusses, other materials were delivered to the site;
workmen began clearing ice from roofs. Contractor asked for a change in the design to
save time. This was rejected because it would have rendered new insulation ineffective.
Concrete block arriving 18 December was rejected because it did not have a fire rating.
A major leak was reported at 3I2F Third Street and investigated: The Contractor was
notified of the problem. Approvals were sought and given for penetration flashings.
WEEK OF 21-29 DECEMBER
23 December - One-third of the trusses were erected at Building "B" at the time of
inspection, another one-third to be completed that day. A number of conditions were
pointed out to the Contractor as not meeting specifications. Framing was completed at
Building "B" on December 24. Several details were pointed out to the Contractor which
did not meet specifications. Framing on Building "C" was completed.
WEEK OF 28 DECEMBER - 3 JANUARY
A number of leaks at Southview were investigated and the Contractor notified. Building
"D" was framed, sheathed, and felted. A number of inadequacies in construction were
noted and pointed out to the Contractor. Problems regarding clean-up were discussed;
the Contractor promised to have a dumpster at Southview and to store trash off-site
until it arrived.
WEEK OF 4- 10 JANUARY
Very little work was done; most of the workmen were sick. One-third of Building "A"
was framed on 8 January, one-third on 9 January. Inspections on both days revealed
inadequacies which were reported to the Contractor.
WEEK OF II - 18 JANUARY
Building "A" was completely framed, sheathed, and felted, as were gable roofs on
Building "E" and "F". Sal Vent and a work crew removed the soffits from the second
floor overhang at 312 F Third Street in an effort to resolve the problems at that
location. Improperly installed insulation was replaced and a loose heating duct was
reinstalled, but no source of leaking was found. Gypsum board fire barriers were
installed on 17 and 18 January. Inspection revealed that installation was being done while
it was snowing; Contractor gave assurance that snow was being brushed carefully from
the gypsum board before it was laminated and before it was sheathed, so that no
moisture was sealed into the building envelope. This was actually being done. Samples
of flashing were approved.

SECURITY SYSTEM
503 HANCOCK STREET
NORTHSIDE APARTMENTS
SITE DESCRIPTION
The 503 Hancock Street building is an I I unit apartment building with a laundromat
occupying a portion of the ground floor. There are three floors with four dwelling units
on the first and second floors, and three on the ground floor. There are two common
entrances opposite each other on the north and south walls with free access through the
building at each floor level. Fire doors separate the dwelling unit entrance space from
the stairs and main exterior doors.
The mailboxes are in the north stair enclosure directly adjacent to the main exterior
doors.
PROBLEM STATEMENT
The present building arrangement requires that the stairs and corridors be freely
accessible to the public for mail delivery, project access to the laundromat (presently
not used because of security problems), and tenant acknowledgement of visitors, due to a
lack of direct apartment-to-entrance-door communication.
However, that means that mischievous youngsters and potentially dangerous individuals
also have free access to the building. As can be seen on the enclosed drawings, there are
a number of locations for loiterers to hide or do damage to the building without being
readily detectable.
Consequently, there is a constant need for tenants to be overly cautious entering or
exiting the building and in fact, there have been several incidents of assault over the
years. In addition, there have been several cases of arson and other mischievous and
dangerous acts.
ALTERNATIVE SOLUTIONS
There appear to be two possible solutions to the problem considering the limitations
imposed by the present physical arrangement of the stairs, doors and corridor.
I. Replace six (6) existing fire doors with new metal doors with vision
O'Brien Taube

panels, reuse existing hardware where possible. Install ten (10) vandal-
proof mirrors in strategic locations. Replace stairwell lighting with
fluorescent fixtures.
Estimated Cost: $ 3,200.00
2. Install complete intercom system with exterior mounted directory and
speaker, eleven (II) apartment speakers, electric door release with
postal service access panel. Replace door hardware on two entrance
doors with the type that is only operable by key from the exterior.
Estimated Cost: $ 4,800.00
In Scheme 2, additional protection can be obtained by replacing the entrance doors with
new half light metal doors glazed with laminated safety glass to deter entry by glass
breakage at an estimated additional cost of $ 1,800.00.
RECOMMENDATION
We recommend installation of the intercom system if the budget allows, because it will
provide the highest level of tenant and property protection. With public access limited
to Housing Authority personnel, the postal service, and tenant guests, major security
problems should be eliminated.

Smoke Detection System •
Dear Ms. Battisti:
Over the past year, this office, along with the Ithaca Housing Authority, the Ithaca Fire
Department, Personius-Wadsworth-Molter Consulting Engineers, Simplex Co. and
Madison Electric Contractors have investigated the apparent problem with the smoke
detection system installed at Titus Towers in early 1980. As a result of the studies,
replacements to the system, and a tenant education program (which have done little to
substantially reduce the frequency of alarms), we recommend at this time to close-out
the project and make final payment to Madison Electric for the work performed.
In making our recommendation, the following points must be taken into consideration:
1. HUD requires that smoke detection systems be either photoelectric or
ionization types.
2. -New York State Construction Code requires that smoke detection
systems in such projects be directly connected to the local fire
department.
3. Almost one-quarter of the ionization heads were replaced with photo-
electric heads with no noticeable reduction in the monthly average
number of alarms.
In view of the above statements, we believe it is evident that the system was installed
correctly and in accordance with regulations and specifications, while the present
apparent problem may be more operational in nature. We suggest that following formal
close-out of Madison's contract, we meet with the Housing Authority and appropriate
HUD personnel to further discuss the issue, and to examine any remaining or new courses
of action. Possible directions might include delays in the alarm system (which would
require variances to the N.Y.S. Construction Code) or testing of physical changes as
outlined in our report dated 3 July 1980.

regarding this matter. If you have any questions in the meantime, contact me at your
convenience.

Dear Ms. Frandell,
On behalf of the Ithaca Housing Authority Board of Elections I'd like to congrat-
ulate you on being elected as Tenant Representative from the Titus Towers District to
the Housing Authority. Your nomination was the only one received by the deadline last
month. After careful review of your nomination and on the recommendation of the Titus
Towers staff, the Board of Elections has decided not to hold an election.
Your term will begin on May 1, 1981 and extend through April 30, 1983. Between
now and May 1, you must go to the Ithaca City Hall to be sworn in as a member of the
Ithaca Housing Authority. Please consult with Mary Louise Battisti for details.
As a member of the Housing Authority you are the sole voice for the 165 housing
units at Titus Towers. Your job is to communicate their needs to the Board and to
communicate Authority business back to the residents of Titus Towers. This means
remaining an active member of the Tenant Association so that you may understand the
needs of your fellow citizens. It also means reporting to the Tenant Association any
Housing Authority business that you feel is relevant to them. I hope these duties are
clear to you.
•
If you should have questions at anytime concerning your role as Tenant Represen-
tative to the Housing Authority .please feel free to talk them over with the Chairman
of the Housing Authority. Her name is Viola Scott, the tenant representative from
the family living units. She is familiar with you job, since her duties are similar.
I believe that you will find the next two years to be very rewarding. Best of
luck to you.

Dear Ms. Scott:
Subject: NYO2-E054-002, 4 Ithaca Housing Authority
A representative of the Buffalo Area Office conducted a review
of the Ithaca Section 8 Program.
We are pleased to report that our review revealed no administrative
deficiencies nor non-compliance with Housing Quality Standards.
These accomplishments are reflective of the competence of your
Tenant Selector, Joseph David. He expresses a thorough knowledge
of regulatory procedures and maintains a high standard in his
record keeping and documentation, in support of HUD regulations.
Further, the spirit of cooperation between the Authority and the
code enforcement agency, for the city of Ithaca, is commendable.
Likewise, the agency's gesture to incorporate into their procedures
the Quality Standards, embodied in the new inspection guide recently
implemented, is continued evidence of the rapport which exists.
During this review, findings identified in our letter dated
August 8, 1979, were discussed with the Authority and action
taken was verified for compliance with our recommendations.
You may consider all findings closed.
We would like to express our appreciation for the cooperation
shown our staff during this review.

Att: Mrs. Battisti
Ref: Domestic Hot Water
Titus Towers
Dear Mrs. Battisti:
As requested, our office has analyzed the domestic hot water system at Titus
Towers. The basic problem is the recirculation system which collects 25 indi-
vidual hot water risers, returning this water to the storage heater in the
basement, does not return an equal amount from each riser. Actually, it pro-
duces little of no flow in the distant risers.
The return piping is not self balancing. Starting at each riser, it should
increase in size to a final pipe size of 11/2". The existing return is only 1".
We have considered two _possible solutions.
1) Resize the return system for 1/2 GPM from each riser and install a new
11" return by core drilling the Garbage Room floors to the Mechanical Room
in the basement. Donohue & Halverson estimate this would cost between
$10,000 and $15,000. The major cost item would be core drilling the
Garbage Room floors.
2) By use of temperature sensors in each riser and a microprocessor, select
individual low temperature risers to load the existing 1" return. 16 risers
at 1/2 GPM (8 GPM) would, theoretically, be the maximum. As each riser
comes to temperature, the next riser would be selected. This system would
not require piping size changes. Hardware to accomplish this would be
$15,600. Assuming installation labor for each riser would be $100, total
cost would be $18,100. A portion of the night hours (12:00 to 5:00 A.M.)
could be locked out, eliminating the losses inherent with a recirculation
system.
A secondary problem is cross connection of hot and cold water when a
shower valve fails. A riser which does not come up to temperature would
indicate this and be identifiable.

We have discussed the solutions with Al Harrington of HUD. He prefers the
microprocessor solution. We also recommend the microprocessor. The Authority
could obtain estimates on this basis. If the solution is costly, we could then
obtain estimates on the less flexible number 1 solution.

Re: Murray vs. Ithaca Housing Authority, et al.
Dear Ms. Battisti :
Pursuant to our telephone conversations, we have
prepared a draft Stipulation of Settlement which we propose
to submit to Cornell Legal Aid.
We have briefly discussed the terms of such an
agreement with Cornell , and they appeared amenable to the terms
we have set forth in our draft . We do expect, however, that
they will object to a waiver of attorneys fees .
We would appreciate your reviewing the terms of the
draft and contacting us at your earliest convenience with any
comments or questions you may have . By copy of this letter,
we are requesting the same of Steven Love .
Best regards.
Very truly yours,
i C C

Re: Proposed Structure
Ithaca, New York
Dear Mr. Van Volkinburg:
Thank you for contacting our office in regards to the proposed
six (6) story structure. We are pleased to submit this proposal
for your consideration .
As we discussed, it would be prudent to advance an additional
boring at the structure location to confirm the subsurface
conditions between the two (2) borings advanced in 1969 for
Ithaca Housing Authority. These borings were advanced to depths
of 231.5 feet below existing grades. The primary purpose of
going to such a depth was to provide data for a deep friction
pile design.
As we envision this project the proposed structure could also
be supported on piles whose length probably would be on the order
of 170 feet or deeper or on a compensating or floating mat foundation.
To evaluate the merits of these options, as well as the possibility
of surcharging the site, the boring should be advanced deep enough
to define the limits of the soft compressible clays, peat and
organic silt as well as the underlying silts, sand and gravel
which would provide the bearing material in the case of a friction
pile supported structure.
As I indicated in our conversation, we believe a compensating
mat foundation could realize significant cost savings for the
foundation construction.

We would provide the test boring, laboratory testing and detailed
engineering evaluation and recommendations addressing the pile
depths and capacities, compensating mat construction and sur-
charging for the above estimated budget. We would not exceed this
figure without your prior authorization.
The actual boring depth may be less than the previous boring
depths and thereby realize some cost savings.
At this time we are in the position of mobilizing a drilling rig
and crew on or about July 9, 1981. We anticipate the field
investigation would be completed by July 17, 1981 with our analysis
and report to be completed around July 27, 1981 .
If we are favored with this project please sign the attached
agreement and return as soon as possible so we can schedule
the work in order to meet the above deadlines.

Re : Murray v. Ithaca Housing Authority, et al .
Dear Mrs . Battisti :
We have enclosed a copy of a stipulation and order
prepared by Cornell Legal Aid . You may remember that you
reviewed a draft of a somewhat similar document which we
sent to Cornell Legal Aid . Cornell has made a number of
modifications which we will review with you. The .following
list should help you in comparing the two drafts . It indicates
the paragraphs in our draft which deal with the paragraphs
in Cornell 's draft .
Our draft Cornell 's draft
Paragraph 1 Introduction and 1
2 8
3 4
4 6
5 9
6 10
7 10
8 1 and 2
At the outset, it is our view that Cornell is attempt-
ing to gear this settlement agreement to support a claim for
attorney's fees . For that reason, we feel they wish to have
this suit certified as a class action. A class action is
a procedure , as you may know, in which plaintiffs , too numerous
to join together in a single lawsuit , seek relief against a
defendant . Our understanding is that the "class" in this
suit consists of just a handful of individuals--those who
were denied certificates because of prior tenant behavior
Ms . Mary Louise 'lattisti
Page 2
August 7, 1981
or non-payment of rent . In our view, this hardly constitutes
a class. However, by characterizing this as a class action, it
would appear as if a greater number of people have benefited
from the action of Cornell Legal Aid than would in fact be
the case. This theme appears to us to be the dominant one
throughout their draft settlement agreement.
We will review the Cornell draft paragraph by
paragraph:
1 . This is similar to ours .
2. This is superfluous , but we have no problem
with it .
3. We object to the characterization of this as
a class action and object to the reference to persons who
"are being or will be barred from the Section 8 Rental Assistance
Program. "
4. This is largely the same as ours. One difference
is found in the last clause in which Cornell limits in eligibility
solely to financial reasons . We have no real objection to this .
5. Cornell informs us that the plaintiff is "adamant"
about her receiving damages . The figure is based upon a subsidy
Cornell claims she would have received of $123 per month had her
application been approved on February 20 , 1980. Our recommenda-
tion of course is that no damages should be paid . Furthermore ,
there is a question of Murray 's eligibility for damages . Specific-
ally, we have to ascertain if there were any certificates available
for her, and, if so, where she would have stood on the list of
people eligible for certificates .
6 . Note again that Cornell 's proposal states that
the Ithaca Housing Authority will change its policy. The point
Cornell is trying to establish is that it is through this
litigation that the Housing Authority has modified its policy.
7 . Cornell wants a notice to go out to members of
the class stating that the policy has been changed and they will
be put at the top of the list for receiving certificates. We
probably should not have any objection to sending some sort of
notice, but we do object to a notice saying that the standard
under which they had been denied had been changed and granted
them preferred treatment .
8. This is similar to Paragraphs 1 and 2 of our
initial draft.
9 . This is similar to Paragraph 5 of our draft.
The second sentence of the provision is superfluous , but we
see no harm with it .
10. As we have indicated, we believe that this

is the real crux of the settlement. Cornell's position, for
which it has some authority , is that it is improper for it to
discuss attorney 's fees while settling the underlying dispute.
As you mayknow, in civil rights suits , it is customary for
courts to award a reasonable attorney 's fee to a prevailing
plaintiff. This is so even if the parties settle the matter
short of litigation and there is no concession of liability
or wrongdoing on the part of the defendant .
I have informally asked Strom what he felt his attorney's
fees would be in this case. He said that he believed the amount
of time expended by him and his associates came to about $10,000,
but he felt that he would probably settle the matter for somewhat
less than $5 ,000. He stressed that these figures were purely
off the record and should not be relied upon by me. In any event ,
I offer them for your consideration.
As a brief observation, we note that the Cornell settle-
ment, comes very close to giving it everything sought in the com-
plaint . The only items on which it compromised are the damage
amounts that would be available to other persons who were turned
down for housing certificates because of the Housing Authority's
previous policy . This, however, could be a considerable sum.
Of course, settlement could also mean a savings in attorney 's fees
for the Housing Authority. It is difficult to quantify what this
savings would be since it is difficult to anticX_pate: -what-the
cost of litigation would be . Furthermore , should we ultimately
lose the lawsuit , the Housing Authority would probably be
liable for most of the plaintiff's attorney's fees , as well
as damages for the other persons affected by the policy. The
attorney's fees could be considerably higher than the less
than $5,000 which Strom talks about now.
On the other hand , settlement under the present
terms could be more expensive than fighting the lawsuit if
we ultimately prevailed . In such a situation , the only cost
the Housing Authority would incur would be its attorney 's
fees . There would of course be no damages and no obligation
to pay for Cornell 's legal fees . Although we feel we have
a good legal position , we must point out that the outcome
of any litigation is speculative and that there is judicial
authority to support their position as well as ours . Litiga-
tion with possible appeals coulc take several years . That
may or may not be an advantage for you and it is for you to
consider. You should also keep in mind that we may be able
to obtain some concessions from Cornell in further settle-
ment talks , but I am skeptical of obtaining much in the way
of monetary concessions , at least at this point.
If the Housing Authority changes its policy with
respect to considering prior tenant behavior, Cornell will
-4 Ms . Mary Louis( ttisti

contend that it is responsible for this change . Therefore , if you
do decide to modify the policy, you should officially do
so for other reasons, such as instructions from Washington,
administrative convenience , or insignificant impact on the
program. If the Housing Authority wishes to contest the
suit , it would probably be best not to change the policy.
After you have had an opportunity to review this
letter and Cornell 's draft agreement, please contact me with
your comments .
Very truly yours ,

WHEREAS this proceeding was brought as a class action
pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure § 23 , and
WHEREAS the approval of the court is required for any
settlement of this proceeding pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil
Procedure § 23 (e) , and
WHEREAS the plaintiff , individually and on behalf of
all others similarly situated , and defendants , by their attorneys ,
have made a thorough and detailed investigation of the facts and
circumstances involved in this action and have concluded that it
would be in the best interest of the plaintiff , the affected class
and each member thereof , and the defendants , to settle this action
on the terms of this stipulation; therefore , the parties hereby
stipulate that :
1. This stipulation incorporates a full and complete
-2-
resolution of all the issues raised in this proceeding.
2 . This stipulation is submitted to the United District
Court for the Northern District of New York for approval and to be
incorporated as an order.
3. Plaintiffs and defendants agree that this action
be certified as a class action on behalf of a class consisting
of all persons who , though otherwise eligible to receive Section 8
benefits , have been, are being or will be barred from the Section 8
rental assistance program due to defendant ' s practice and policy of
barring persons from participation in said program resulting from a
finding of prior unfavorable tenant behavior , including non-payment
of rent and/or damage to rented accommodations during tenancies
unassociated with the Section 8, program.
4 . Defendant Ithaca Housing Authority (IHA) agrees
that , at any time during the period of one year from the date that
this stipulation and order is entered , plaintiff Angela Murray
will , at her request , be issued the next available Section 8 rental
assistance certificate, if she is found to be financially eligible
therefor.
5 . Defendant IHA agrees that within 30 days of this
stipulation and order being entered into it will pay plaintiff ,
Angela Murray $2 ,091. 00 . If this amount is not paid within that
time , then defendant IHA will pay interest on that amount at the
annual rate of 9% .
6 . Defendant IHA agrees to change its policy of denying
• , -3-
eligibility for the Section 8 rental assistance program by insuring
that defendant IRA will not , in any way, consider prior unfavorable
tenant behavior , including non-payment of rent , delinquent payment
of rent and damage to rental accommodations , during tenancies
unassociated with the Section 8 program when determining eligibility
for the Section 8 program.
7 . All members of the class described in paragraph "3"
above,—oilier than plaintiff Murray, who have been denied Section 8
certificates since January 1 , 1979 will be sent a notice by
defendant IHA stating that the standard under which they had been
denied Section 8 certificates has been changed and that they may
reapply for a Section 8 certificate. All members of the class who
reapply within six months from the date the notices are received
by them and who are found to be financially eligible for a Section
8 certificate will be issued a Section 8 certificate based on their
priority as of the date that they were previously denied due to
prior tenant behavior unassociated with the Section 8 program.
8. The defndants voluntarily agree in order to fully
resolve this proceding , to all the provisions of paragraphs "3"
through "7" above. Defendants have not admitted , or conceded , nor
do they admit or concede, that there has been any violation by any
of the defendants of any statute, rule, law, regulation, procedure
or operations guide of any kind or that there is any liability other
than what is described herein, for alleged injuries suffered by
plaintiff and plaintiff 's class .
•
-4-
9. Plaintiff Murray, on behalf of herself and all
other persons similarly situated, hereby waives any and all other
claims against defendants for damages , whether actual , punative
or exemplary, which arose out of the transactions or occurances
complained of in the complaint and, hereby waives any and all
claims for injunctive and declaratory relief she or others similarly
situated have against defendants. Nothing contained in this para-
graph however, shall prevent plaintiff Murray or any of the class
members from enforcing this stipulation before this Court or any
other appropriate forum.
10. Upon the resolution of all substantive issues in
this proceeding, the plaintiff and defendant will try to arrive at
a mutually acceptable amount as and for plaintiff' s attorneys fees
and costs. If the parties are unable to agree within one month
after this order is filed, plaintiff' s attorney may move this
court for attorneys fees . In the event that plaintiff ' s attorneys
might be required to move for attorneys fees within ten days after
the entry of this order , it is agreed by and between the parties
that such requirement will not apply; however, plaintiff ' s attorneys
must move for such fees within 10 days after the expiration of
the above-described one month period.

Re: I.H.A. Attorney' s Retainer
Dear Mary Louise:
The coming fiscal year will be my fourth year as the
attorney for the Ithaca Housing Authority. The first three
years have been hectic at times, but I have always enjoyed
working with you, your staff, and the various members of
the Board who have served during that period. I sincerely
hope that you are satisfied with the legal representation
which you have received.
As I indicated to you in our conversation of July 13,
1981, the expenses of operating my office have increased
substantially over the last three years. If it is possible
within the limitations of our present budget, I would greatly
appreciate you and the Board considering increasing my
retainer somewhat in order to compensate for the effect of
inflation over that three year period.
I believe that we concluded that the office staff' s
salary increases had been on the order of 27% or so during
that period of time. I suspect that the cost of doing
business has probably risen slightly more than that. My
present retainer is $4,800. 00 per year, a 25% increase
would bring it to $6, 000. 00. I honestly believe such an
increase would be appropriate at this time if the budget
will allow it.
I appreciate your consideration of this request. Please
let me know if I can provide you with any additional infor-
mation in order to assist you and the Board in reaching a
decision.
Very truly yours, 1

Chief of Police
City of Ithaca

Ithaca, New York 14850
Re: Ithaca Housing Authority - Titus Towers Facility
Dear Chief Herson:
As you may have noted from the Ithaca Journal' s
coverage of the most recent meeting of the Board of
Commissioners of the Ithaca Housing Authority, I have
been directed by the Board to write to you requesting
additional assistance with the Housing Authority' s
continuing problem with juveniles and young adults at
the Titus Towers site.
Based upon the information which has been provided
to me, it appears that the problem involves two distinct
groups: Firstly, juveniles who frequent the parking
lots and grounds of the Housing Authority, often in
connection with their use of the adjacent city park.
Secondly, older youths and young adults who appear to
be partying at night in the area between Titus Towers
and the motel to the west on 1' adow Street.
The first group continues to ride bicycles on the
streets and sidewalks of the Titus Taxers facility, not-
withstanding the fact that several signs clearly prohibit
this activity. There have been several close calls for
both the senior citizens and the bike riders as well.
I am sure you can appreciate that sidewalks frequented by
elderly people and busy parking lots. are not the best
areas in which to ride bicycles. There have apparently
also been numerous instances of vandalism to plantings
on the grounds and abusive language directed towards
senior citizens and Housing Authority personnel.
- =t
-2-
The second group tends to gather later in the evening
in the area described above. There is evidence of the
use of marijuana and beer. There has been more serious
vandalism associated with this group, including defacement
or theft of benches and damage to senior citizens garden
plots. The group is evidently in the habit of dispersing
when your officers come to the scene if they are forewarned
by emergency lights or sirens.
The Housing Authority appreciates the assistance which
the police department has rendered with this problem over
the years. However, the situation seems to be worsening.
The Board is particularly concerned that those young
people who are inclined to abuse their privilege of using
the city park and passing over..the Housing Authority land
be controlled at this time in view of the anticipated con-
struction of additional housing for the elderly in the
very area where the problem has occurred commencing within
the next few months.
I would appreciate your giving your attention to what
the Housing Authority and the police together might be
able to do to deal with this situation at your earliest
convenience. I would be happy to gather any additional
information which you might require. I am sure that Mary
Louise Battisti, the Director of the Ithaca Housing Authority,
and perhaps a few of the senior citizens themselves, would
be willing to meet with you to discuss the matter. I
believe that if we can agree on a cooperative plan of
action and if we put a little extra effort in this problem
at this time, it can be resolved to everyone' s satisfaction
and without unduly penalizing the individuals who use the
park and Housing Authority grounds responsibily.
Very truly yours,
William A. Lange, Jr.

Re: Ithaca Housing Authority - Titus Towers Project
Dear Mr. Andersson:
The Board of Commissioners of the Ithaca Housing
Authority has been advised by the tenant representative
from Titus Towers that a health and/or pollution problem
may exist in the small creek which passes between \the
Titus Towers parcel and the shopping center immediately
to the south of it in the City of Ithaca. The Board has
instructed me to write to you and request your assistance
in investigating the matter.
As I understand it, a number of the senior citizens
have noted that the creek in question is sometimes dis-
colored and smells more and more strongly of late. The
various descriptions of the condition of the creek would
lead oneto believe that it is either chemically or
biologically polluted or both. The source of the pollution
is not immediately apparent, but there are a number of
commericial and residential structures in the area so
there are many possibilities.
The Board is particularly concerned because of its
present plans to construct additional senior housing on
the Titus Towers parcel commencing within the next few
months. The area is frequented by senior citizens both
casually and on their way to and from shopping at the
adjacent mall. A potential health hazard may exist.
I would be happy to gather any additional information
which you might require. I am sure that Mary Louise
Battisti, the Director of the Ithaca Housing Authority,
-2-
would be happy to show you the problem. Perhaps some of
the concerned senior citizens would be interested in meeting
with you as well. I would greatly appreciate your taking
some time to look into this for us.
Thank you for your help.

MARY LOUISE BATTISTI
EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR
September 18, 1981
Mr. Boyd 0. Barton, Director
Housing Division
Department of Housing and Urban Development
107 Delaware Avenue
Statler Building, Mezzanine
Buffalo, New York 14202
Attention: Mr. Robert Rifenberick
Dear Mr. Barton:
Subject: Ithaca NY06-P054-006/007
Thank you for your letter dated September 16, 1981, in reference to the above
named subject.
It has relieved my troubled mind that NY06-P054-006 will not be recaptured
as stated in the certified letter dated June 17, 1981.
As you may or may not know, the NY06-054-006 Program Reservation was for a
total of 45 units comprised of 35 one-bedroom for Elderly / Handicapped /
Disabled, and ten (10) family units: five 2-bedroom, three 3-bedroom, and
two 5-bedroom, dated June 4, 1980.
In October of 1980, during a meeting at the HUD office, it was discovered
that a very serious miscalculation occurred in establishing the development
cost. The reservation was for the 45 units, but the approved dollars only
covered the elderly housing and omitted the ten family units. Thus, ten very
needed low income family units could not be constructed due to this serious
omission.
In correcting the error, you (HUD) .agreed to update the construction cost
budget for the 35 unit elderly housing to reflect the 1980 standards and add
six (6) percent to cover inflationary increases.
In addition, it was agreed that should additional elderly units become avail-
able, they would be added to our reservation in order to make up for our loss
in the family units.
Mr. Boyd 0. Barton -2- September 18, 1981
On January 28, 1981, we submitted an application for. 40 additional one-bedroom
units to be added to the amended reservation of 35 one-bedroom units. This
application was submitted per your instructions.
On March 23, 1981, we received a communication signed by Mr. Anderson that we
were selected for funding for 35 units and assigned No. NY06-P054-007 with a
loan authority of $2,184,035. On the same date, we also received a communica-
tion that NY06-P054-006 had been revised and updated in funding to $2,184,035.
OnJune 29, 1981, a meeting was held in your office and the attached tentative
schedule was executed. During the subsequent three weeks, we were able to
accelerate the schedule to the point that all surveys were completed, as well
as the subsurface study, advertising the Flood Plain Regulations, and all
necessary legal requirements, as well as the schematic design.
On Monday, July 20, 1981, a meeting was held at HUD to review the schematics
up to that point and make changes before final.submission. (I attach copy of
minutes of meeting.)
On July 31, 1981, we hand carried the schematics and development program docu-
ments to your office.
The Schematic Design Conference scheduled for August 19, 1981, was canceled by
your office. It was tentatively set for September 8, 1981, and again the re-
views were not completed. You advised our architect that the meeting would
take place on September 14, 1981. On Thursday, September 10, 1981, I was ad-
vised the reviews were not completed and your office would not be prepared for
the scheduled September 14th meeting. The architect did receive a telephone
call on Monday, September 14, 1981, advising him of comments and recommenda-
tions that should be included in subsequent document submissions.
In the meantime, the members of the Board of the Ithaca Housing Authority, the
architect, and myself are available and most willing todiscuss, revise, and
modify plans in order to expeditiously move to ACC list at the earliest possible
date.
The City of Ithaca and the elderly living within cannot afford to lose another
70 units.
I thank you for your letter and look forward to hearing from you with final
comments on our submission.
Sincerely,
Mary Louise Battisti •

Meeting produced the following understandings :
Schematic Design Requirements/Design Considerations
1 . Re: Design requirements HUD Manual 7417 . Chapter 8 "Schematic
Design Requirements" would govern.
2 . Scale in which pre-schematic drawings submitted, i.e. , 1/8" floor
plans generally acceptable. Overall dimensions sufficient for
area calculations to be on drawings.
3. Area of each unit to be on drawings .
4 . Due to the nature of the design, plans of all levels to be sub-
mitted. Repetitive floors 2 and 3 require only one plan.
5 . Site plan need only have building outline.
6 . No new utility analysis required. (Analysis previously submitted
for 35 unit project acceptable. )
7 . No site density analysis required.
8 . Basic unit plans will be in conformance with the area method of
space allocation with respect to combined living room, dining
room and bedroom space. Room furnishing plans will not be sub-
mitted at this time.
9. Building setbacks discussed•, with particular reference to the
"corner window" design. The site plan as submitted was found to
be acceptable with respect to distance separation between major
structures.
10. Building floor elevation and exterior grades will be keyed to
grades used by the Corps of Engineers, and the 100 year flood
level will be clearly identified.
Page 1
11. It was stated that minimum first floor elevation be 1' -0" above
100 year flood level. This finding was in conflict with the
determination of meeting 1, dated June 29 , 1981.
Architect will seek further resolution here. ' It was agreed that
a reasonable zone of transition between 1st floor existing
building and 1st floor new building would be _allowed.
12. Unusual foundation requirements discussed. Architect will include
a foundation cost more applicable to Ithaca area in general as
normal .
13. Ithaca determined to be in Seismic Zone 1 .
14 . Pan under shower area in handicap, equipped units not required.
Architect to investigate flooring systems that will provide
required positive drainage and allow barrier free transition.
15. Scheme would allow for 11 possible handicap units; 7 required in
project. 1/2 of these must have kitchens which accommodate the
wheelchair confined. IHA to make final determination on how far
to develop other "excess" units.
16. One A/C thru wall sleeve in living room acceptable.
17. No in-sink garbage disposal required.
18. Trash room (compactor) is counted as mechanical space.
19. Community spaces could be presented in less specific detail than
the dwelling units themselves at the time of schematic design.
20 . Comment was made on unit scheme "B" and the location of the bath-
room off the bedroom. IHA has expressed preference for this approach
in lieu of the introduction of a corridor.
21. After discussion, HUD recommended strongly the construction of
the secondary access road.
•
22. There was a preliminary review of the site plan. HUD suggested
modifications to secondary entry road and parkingareas; the
Architect will review same.
Estimating/Accounting Procedures :
1. IHA may pick up deficit of office/maintenance/community space
which exists in previous 15 story high rise project. Said
additional space would count with normally eligible office/
maintenance/community space toward a pro rata share of mechanical
and shared facilities.
•
2. Corridors (connecting link) serving said community space would
count as non-dwelling use.
Page 2
ter.
Procedural Items:
1. HUD is partially complete with review of Owner/Architect Agree-
ment and will be complete in a few days. There appears to be
no problems.
2 . HUD presented schedule developed at June 29 , 1981 meeting.
Schedule was approved and signed by Mary Louise Battisti and
Fred Thomas. Copies were distributed.
3 . Property for the new addition and the methods of conveying same
were discussed in detail. It was determined that a property
line survey would be prepared by a licensed surveyor and a legal
description would be prepared by the IHA attorney. Both are
due with the July 31., 1981 schematic design submission.
The Architect noted that final utility connections and locations
would probably not be settled by that time. It was agreed that
the July 31, 1981 submission would include the Architects best
estimate of the utility locations but that the site could be
modified at a later date to reflect modified locations after
utility company and City of Ithaca approvals if necessary.
Easements to govern possible dual use of utility lines for
both buildings will probably be required 15y HUD.
4 . It was agreed that the purchase price of the property would be
established at $1. 00.
5. The Architect with the July 31 , 1981 submission should include
a certification as to flood plain considerations and indicating
the steps that have been taken to conform to HUD requirements .
6. Certified copies of the newspaper advertisement indicating the
construction of the project and location in the flood plain .
were presented to HUD. There have been no responses of con-
cerned received by either HUD or IHA as of this date.

SUBJECT: Review of Development Cost Budget, Schematic Design Plans
and Specifications for Ithaca Housing Authority, Project
No. NY06-P054-006/007 -
We recommend approval subject to the following modifications.
Revised Preliminary Site Report
The following revisions should be included in subsequent
design document submissions:"
•
1. Windows
a. Adjacent windows on connector should have the
same heights.
• b. Wrap-around windows would produce excessive
construction costs and abnormal heat loss.
They should be avoided.
c. Outswinging crank-type casement windows have
higher maintenance costs and are susceptible
to weather damage. Elderly tenants with
muscular or arthritic problems would not be
able to operate them. Slider or double hung
windows should be substituted.
2. Unit Plans
a. Location of unit entrance doors at hall plane
would increase storage space available within
the unit without any additional costs.
b. Relocation of access to unit storage cabinets
at kitchens should be considered. This would
place cabinet doors in the most convenient
locations.

3. Mechanical - Electrical
a. Shared use of mechanical and electrical equip-
ment with the existing structure is needed. It
is suggested that metering arrangements be ex-
tended from existing services where possible.
This will allow the Authority to make use of
lower-priced bulk metering.
b. Solid-state controls which will assure heating
compatibility and dual use of new and existing
equipment should be included.
c. Electric heating units for bathrooms should not
be needed except at top floor.
d. The building oriented gas-fired equipmentfor
heating space and dwelling hot water which results
in Authority-purchased energy costs for gas and
electricity of $36 PUM is approved. These energy
costs are $32 PUM lower than individual purchase
costs of $68 PUM when all-electric equipment is
used.
Individual purchase of energy source utilities at
this project would, therefore, be uneconomic.
The utilities combination chosen complies with the
April 1977 Low Rent Housing Development Handbook
7417.1, Section 5-3, which is the procedural
reference for this project. It complies with the
comments of Housing Management's memorandum dated
January 26, 1981.

See attached marked-up sheet A-1 for comments re-
garding layout, grading, and details.
Development Budget
The attached Development Cost Budget/Cost Statement for the
subject project has been reviewed in accordance with the
provisions of HUD Handbook 7417.1, dated March 1977. The
specific accounts reviewed included Total Administration -
1410.1/.19, Initial Operating Deficit - 1425, Dwelling
Equipment - 1465, and Nondwelling Equipment - 1475. Since
the PHA will experience an initial operating deficit between
DOFA and EIOP, Account 1425 was increased from $0 to $3,500

•

to provide for such a deficit. In addition, the $40,000
amount budgeted in Account 1475 for Nondwelling Equipment
has been reduced to $0, based on the lack of specific docu-
mentation given by the PHA for this expense item. These
- funds have been added to the Contingency line on the Develop-
ment Budget. The PHA may request funds in the budget for
Nondwelling Equipment at such time it has established specific
needs for this item of expense.
The other expense accounts appear proper and reasonable as
documented.
Financial Feasibility
The review of the Financial Feasibility forms and supporting
Performance Funding System forms, as modified, indicates that
this project is feasible with an Operating Subsidy of $48.46
PUM. Accordingly, approval is recommended. The Regional
Administrator should be advised of this project's Operating
Sub dy equirement.

Schematic Design Conference, as we feel we can
justify our position on many of these features .
It is my understanding that these changes are

Dear Mr. Monticciolo:
Subject: Notice #81-25
Section 214, Housing and Community Development Act
of 1980; HCD Amendments of 1981
I am in receipt of the above subject Notice and have the following comments
and questions pertaining to same.
The Ithaca Housing Authority has been experiencing a very difficult time at-
tempting to implement Notices and Regulations and Statutes as they are trans-
mitted to us by the Department of Housing and Urban Development.
The City of Ithaca is the home of Cornell University. Within Cornell Univer-
sity is a Legal Aid Clinic, which is operated by an Attorney-in-charge and
Third Year Law Students. ( I attach a copy of the Memorandum by the Court.)
At the present time, we have two Civil Action suits against us that Cornell
Legal Aid is proposing as Class Action suits. To date, neither suit has been
certified. Nevertheless, the financial cost of both suits has been tremendous
and has had a very negative effect on our budget.
Civil Action No. 80-CV-345 deals with HUD's Director's Notice #51, which was
transmitted from the Albany HUD office and signed by Robert J. Wolf, Director.
I assumed he had the authority to transmit such a "Notice" and followed his
clarification on the criteria to be utilized. (I attach Notice #51.) This
Notice has caused the Ithaca Housing Authority time, money, grief and aggrava-
tion. For every dollar we expend to defend this "Notice," is a dollar that
must be deducted from our operating budget. We have not received any assistance
from your Office, nor any promise of reimbursement.
N.D.N.Y. , 80-CV-794 deals with our Section 8 Existing Housing Program. I sub-
mit a copy of a letter addressed to Attorney Love which explains the full
dilemma of this Action. To date, 'we have not received a reply.
My concerns with Notice #81-25 are as follows:
•
Mr. Joseph D. Monticciolo -2- September 8, 1981
Since the Non Immigrant Student-Aliens would be students of Cornell
University, how far would HUD support us if
1. Cornell Legal Aid Clinic decided to again use the I.H.A. to question
your Notice?
2. Would you have HUD Counsel represent us?
3. If not, would you authorize reimbursement for any legal fees, etc.
which we may encounter?
4. Are Non immigrant Student-Alien public housing tenants eligible for
the Grievance Procedures and elements of due process?
5. Who proceeds with eviction if a Section 8 tenant refuses to pay
market rent to the landlord? How binding is the HAP Contract that
the I.H.A. has executed with the landlord?
We are a small housing authority consisting of 271 units and 95 Section 8
Existing units.
Our staff is small and overworked, and with our subsidy being cut by 14.5%, we
cannot continue to be caught between Cornell Legal Aid Clinic and HUD Regula-
tions.
The new class of students have arrived and I can foresee this "Notice" being
their next assignment.
I personally feel it is improper to deprive our tenantsof the limited federal
financial assistance that is available in order to defend "Notices" dissemin-
ated by HUD.
Prior to our implementing Notice #81-25, we must have the above questions
answered.
The members of the Board of the Ithaca Housing Authority are very concerned
about the new regulations that are being issued and the potential suits that
may arise from them.
The cutbacks in funding for the Legal Services Corporation will have no effect
on Cornell Legal Aid Clinic. Third Year Law Students will be perpetual.
We must have relief and assistance from your Office in order to remain solvent.
Without your aid, for a few, all is lost:
Sincerely,
Mary Louise Battisti
Executive Director

TO: Notice #81-25
Public Housing Authorities
Public Housing Agencies (Section 8) Issued: 9/21/81
Expires: 3/21/82
Cross References:
Section 214, Housing and Community
Development Act of 1980; HCD Amendments
of 1981
Subject: Admission and Continued Occupancy of Nonimmigrant Student-Aliens in
Public Housing and Assisted Projects
The purpose of this Notice is to clarify the policy of the Department of Housing
and Urban Development regarding admission and continued occupancy of nonimmigrant
student-aliens in both the Public Housing and Section 8 programs.
A nonimmigrant student-alien is defined as an alien who has no intention of
abandoning his or her foreign residence, who is admitted temporarily to this
country in order to pursue a course of study at an established institution
designated by the alien and approved by the Attorney General. The status of
nonimmigrant student-alien also applies to the alien spouse and minor children
of the alien student. The temporary admission and residence of the family or
individual defined above is made possible by a nonimmigrant visa issued pursuant
to the applicable provisions of the Immigration and Nationality Act.
Section 214 of the Housing and Community Development Act of 1980 and the Housing
and Community Development Amendments of 1981 prohibit the admission and continued
occupancy in public housing or housing with Section 8 subsidy, to nonimmigrant
student-aliens, their alien spouses and minor children.
As you know, prior to the 1980 Act, none of the Housing Assistance statutes
imposed eligibility requirements with regard to citizenship, and neither this
Department nor local agencies could inquire into the citizenship or residency
status of an applicant for, or tenant in, assisted housing. Such an inquiry
is now required.
While the implementing regulations are in final preparation stages, the following
instructions are to be followed in administering both the Public Housing and
Section 8 Programs, pursuant to Section 214.
Public Housing
Initial Applicants:
For those families who are applying for Public Housing, the family will not be
eligible for assistance if both spouses are nonimmigrant student-aliens. If
either spouse is an American citizen, and the family is otherwise eligible, the
family will be considered eligible for assistance.
Previous Editions Are obsolete HUD 218(3-80)
# 81- 25
•
The application form which is used in determining eligibility for admission to
Public Housing should be accompanied by a_certification as to whether each
applicant is a nonimmigrant student-alien. There should be a definition of
nonimmigrant student-alien and a reference to Title 18 U.S.C. 1001 which makes
it a criminal offense for any person to make willfully false statements or
misrepresentations in connection with any matter within the jurisdiction of
any Department or Agency of the United States. A suggested format containing
the certification is set out in the attachment to this notice.
Tenants in Occupancy:
For those families already in occupancy and receiving assistance, such assistance
will be terminated as provided below if both the husband and wife are nonimmigrant
student-aliens. If either spouse is an American citizen, the assistance will
not be terminated.
The application which is used in determining eligibility for admission to
Public Housing should be accompanied by a certification as to whether each
applicant is a nonimmigrant student-alien. This would include any term of lease
under which the tenants were occupying the premises, whether it be month-to-month,
one year, or a longer lease term. Thirty days before the lease expires, each
tenant should be asked to execute the required certification. If the expiration
of the lease term coincides with the requirement for recertification of tenant's
income, then the certification as to nonimmigrant student-alien status should
be in conjunction with the application for continued occupancy. In no event,
however, should the required certification with respect to nonimmigrant student-
aliens be delayed until the regularly scheduled recertification date. If the
"alien" certification reveals that the tenants are no longer eligible for
occupancy of a Public Housing unit, they must be given a 30-day notice of termi-
nation, and evicted in accordance with State and local laws.
Section 8
Initial Applicants:
For those families who are applying for Section 8, the family will not be eligible
for assistance if both spouses are nonimmigrant student-aliens. If either spouse
is an American citizen, and the family is otherwise eligible, the family will be
considered eligible for assistance.
The "Certification and Recertification of Tenant Eligibility" (Form HUD-50059)
should be supplemented by the same language as that suggested for Public Housing.
As stated above, it can take the form of a separate certification and be attached
to the form. . When the form is revised the requirements of Section 214 will be
incorporated.

#81- 25
Tenants in Occupancy:
For those families already in occupancy and receiving assistance, such assistance
will be terminated as provided below if both the husband and wife are nonimmigrant
student-aliens. If either spouse is an American citizen, the assistance will
not be terminated.
The same Form HUD-50059 is used for recertifications. As lease terms expire,
the same procedures should be followed as described for Public Housing. If
the assistance under any of these programs has to be terminated because of the
requirements of Section 214, the tenants can remain in the project provided they
pay market rent (contract rent for Section 8 tenants) . If not, they will have
to be evicted in accordance with State and local law.
Attachment #1 to this Notice is suggested as addendum to the application for
housing assistance.

Definition of nonimmigrant student-alien: (1) An alien having a residence in
a foreign country which he or she has no intention of abandoning, who is a
bona fide student qualified to pursue a full course of study and who is admitted
to the United States temporarily and solely for the purpose of study at an
established institution of learning or other recognized place of study in the
United States, particularly designated by him or her and approved by the
Attorney General after consultation with the Department of Education of the

make reports promptly the approval shall be withdrawn, and (2) The alien
spouse and minor children of:any such alien if accompanying him or her or
following to join him or her.

Dear Attorney Love:
Re: Murray v. Ithaca Housing Authority, et al.
N.D.N.Y. , 80-CV-794
The Ithaca Housing Authority has reached a saturation point in the above
named case. We have expended $4,355.40 in special litigation legal fees
through August 31, 1981.
As you know, Cornell Legal Aid is not the typical legal aid clinic. Law
students are assigned cases and are supervised by staff attorneys. (It is
interesting to note the students are graded on their cases.) A case such as
the above can become a perpetual educational project. As each student com-
pletes his/her education, a new student is available to begin his/her field
work in law.
Interrogatories are constantly being forwarded for reply. ' Many of the ques-
tions are unnecessary, improper, oppressive and burdensome. Consequently, •
we presently have $34.00 over and above our monthly expenses in reserve.
I realized in the latter part of April that we would be unable to continue
with this litigation due to monetary constraints and advised Attorney Blair
to propose a settlement to Cornell Legal Aid.
As you know, our settlement proposal was not accepted and they submitted a
counter proposal which is totally unacceptable.
At the present time, we cannot afford to continue with the case, nor can we
afford to settle it. To go one step further, we have been forced to advise
Attorney Blair to submit his final bill to us and, hopefully, we can pay him.
•
Attorney Steven Love -2- September 8, 1981
My financial projection for the month of September is the following:
Administrative Fee earned - $ 1,675.00
Operating Expenses
(including salaries) - 1,465.00
Excess - 210.00
August 31, 1981 + 34.00
Balance - $ 244.00
Should Attorney Blair's bill exceed $244.00, we will be running with a deficit.
Without financial assistance or legal assistance from HUD, I will be forced to
either ignore any further demands from Cornell Legal Aid and be subject to fur-
ther litigation or recommend to the Board of the Ithaca Housing Authority that
we abolish the Section 8 Program.
If the Administrative Fees must be utilized to pay an attorney to represent us,
who will manage the program? I must pay staff and related program expenses.
As it is, I have pro-rated salaries of present staff in order to conserve fund-
ing.
Cornell Legal Aid's stipulation calls for the IHA to pay the plaintiff $2,091.00.
I do not know what this is for, nor how they arrived at that amount. Needless
to say, it doesn't matter because we do not have it.
This stipulation also calls for attorney's fees and costs. I would assume this
to be pursuant to the Civil Rights Attorney's Fees Award Act 42 U.S.C. 1988.
To quote comments of Mr. Thomas P. Loftus, Regional Counsel, to another housing
authority:
"The Act is intended to serveas a 'punishment' of those persons or
entities determined to have violated certain civil rights statutes."
Neither the directors of the Ithaca Housing Authority's Board, officers, nor
myself have committed any improprieties or violated anyone's civil rights. We
complied with the required statutory and administrative submittals to HUD and
received approval and concurrence to operate the program based on the "Administra-
tive Plan."
In conclusion, I wish to pose the following questions:
Attorney Steven Love -3- September 8, 1981
1. According to HUD Regulations 24 CFR Section 822.209 (a)(3) and 882.204 D
published in the Federal Register dated Thursday, May 13, 1976, Vol. 41,
No. 94, and again published in HUD Handbook 7420. 7 - Appendix I, PHAs
could select families in accordance with the PHA's application, including
any PHA rules for preference as approved by HUD.
Have new regulations been promulgated and published modifying or revising
the above sections? If so, would you kindly advise me of the changes and
dates they were published in the Federal Register.
2. What alternatives would you recommend for the settlement and/or continua-
tion of this case without funding?
3. (a) How do we pay an attorney when program funds are restricted to rents
only?
(b) If we continue to pay. with administrative fees, how do we pay staff?
(c) If we don't pay staff, who runs the program?
(d) If we abolish the program, what happens to the program participants
and contracts we have executed with landlords?
4. What is HUD's responsibility in this case?
It is a serious situation that requires immediate attention and advice from
your office.
We shall remain status quo until we hear from you.

Dear Ms. Battisti:
This is to confirm the telephone conversation between John Springstead
of this office and yourself concerning your Authority's participation and
cooperation in our Upward Mobility Training Program for Ms. Mary Ann Kiera
of the Assisted Housing Management Branch.
Previous training program participants have found the week of active
participation and exposure to actual PHA work activity and experience
an invaluable segment of their training period. Your Authority, with
its diversified inventory, varied programs and multi-disciplined staff
will afford the maximum work experience possible in the limited time
available. I am sure that your efforts will make this a mutually bene-
ficial exercise for both the PHA and Ms. Kiera.
She will be contacting you personally to firm up the details for the
week starting September 21, 1981. Thank you for your enthusiastic
acceptance of our proposal and please contact Mr. Springstead at
(716) 846-5709 if you have further questions.

Re : Samuel Deeb - personal property
Dear Mary Louise
I enclose a copy of a list which I have been given
by Attorney Michael LoPinto of items which Mr. Samuel
Deeb contends are his personal property and which he
believes are in the possession of the Housing Authority.
Could you please have someone conduct a search for the
items and then let me know which, if any, of them the
Housing Authority has in its possession and whether
there is any dispute as to the ownership of any of the
items.
Thank you for your help.

Dear Ms. Battisti:
Subject: Ithaca, NY06-P054-007
The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) hereby selects
your application for funding for low-income dwelling units to be provided
pursuant to the U.S. Housing Act of 1937. This is not a legal obligation
but a statement of determination by HUD, subject to the fulfillment of all
legal and administrative requirements, to enter into a new or amended Annual
Contributions Contract covering the number of units funded, or such lesser
number as may be consistent with the amount of contract and budget authority
reserved by HUD.
A project planning conference to discuss the PHA proposal requirements will
be scheduled within the next two weeks by your Multifamily Housing
Representative, Douglas Potter at (716) 846-4688.
You will have 90 days from the date of the project planning conference to
submit your proposal. If the proposal is not received by the deadline date
the project will be terminated unless you submit documentation which justifies
Area Office approval of a thirty day extension.
Enclosed you will find the prepared Annual Contributions Contract and
related documents which should be signed and returned with your proposal.

Subject: Ithaca, NY 06-P054-007
This office recently notified you of funding for the above subject
project via letter dated March 23, 1981.
In our letter we stated that the Annual Contributions Contract (ACC)
was enclosed for your execution. However, the contract was not
enclosed due to the fact that this project is being combined with
an older program reservation, NY 06-P054-006, and the ACC for this
older reservation cannot be prepared until your Development Program
is submitted and approved. Upon approval of your Development Pro-
gram the ACC's for both program reservations will be prepared and
sent to you for execution.

Ms. Mary Louise Battisti

800 South Plain Street
Ithaca, New York 14850
Dear Ms. Battisti:
Subject: Project No. NY06-P054-006/007
The purpose of this letter is to emphasize the potentially critical situation
involving the above captioned proposed Public Housing Project.
For Fiscal Year 1981, Department of HUD Headquarters has mandated that every
Public Housing reservation in the pipeline as of September 30, 1980 must be
moved to ACC list by September 30, 1981, or else it shall be unilaterally
cancelled and the related funding recaptured. The subject project, as you may
be aware, is directly affected by this mandate. Since our mutual interest is to
develop needed housing units, we must both give this matter very high priority.
Your HUD Multifamily Housing Representative, Mr. Doug Potter has been in contact
with your Agency in order to establish a target date for your submission of the
Development Program Package. It is essential that this deadline be adhered to
in order to allow adequate time for HUD to review and ACC processing. In this
regard we consider any submission received in this Office after August 1, 1981
to be in jeopardy of cancellation and fund recapture.
We strongly suggest that you maintain close communication with your Multifamily
Housing Representative as well as the Project Developer so that expeditious
execu ion of the subject ACC may be accomplished.

Dear Ms. Battisti and Mr. Thomas:
Subject: Ithaca, NY06-P054-006/007
This letter is to confirm the following items agreed to at our Project Planning
Conference held on June 29, 1981, at the Buffalo Area Office:
1. This project consists of two program reservations, NY06-P054-006 and
NY06-P054-007, each containing 35 units of elderly housing for a total of
70 units of elderly housing. The construction method is conventional with
the building type being an elevator structure. The total Development
Budget for 70 units is $4,368,070 which has been trended for a November 1981
construction start. Your new development schedule has a March 1982
construction start date but additional funds are not available to trend the
development costs to this new construction start date.
2. A tentative schedule showing the major processing stages for this program
is as follows: -
Target Date • Processing Stage
June 29, 1981 Project Planning Conference
July 31, 1981 PHA submits documents for TSA/FSA, including
Title Documents
August 17, 1981 HUD reviews TSA/FSA
Page 2
Target Date Processing Stage
July 31, 1981 PHA prepares and submits Schematics and
Development Program after Project Planning
Conference
August 17, 1981 HUD review of Schematics and Development Program
August 19, 1981 Schematic Design Conference
August 26, 1981 HUD prepares list and ACC
September 4, 1981 PHA executes ACC along with PHA Board Resolution
September 8, 1981 HUD executes ACC
November 19, 1981 PHA prepares and submits construction and bid
documents after Schematic Design Conference.
December 10, 1981 HUD review/approval construction and bid
documents
January 20, 1982 PHA advertises and selects low bid
February 19, 1982 HUD review/approval of contract award
-simultaneously with-
February 19, 1982 HUD clearance of executed contract
March 2, 1982 Pre-construction Conference and Notice to Proceed
As can be seen the Notice to Proceed (construction start) is tentatively scheduled for
March 2, 1982. This schedule is designed to guide all parties through the development
stage to the eventual start of construction.
3. As discussed at our meeting, the next step for the PHA is to submit a revised
Preliminary Site Report (HUD 52651) for all 70 units. In addition, you are
reminded to proceed with the public notice as required under the Flood Plain
Management Guidelines previously sent to you. Also, since the PHA already
owns the site you may submit the appropriate Title documents for our review.
Please be advised that the conditions stated in our letter of March 2, 1981,
are still pending and you should proceed to resolve these conditions at this
time.
4. The architect should begin to prepare the plans and specifications (schematics)
based upon consultation with the PHA.

Dear Ms. Battisti:
SUBJECT: Ithaca, NY06-P054-006
Reference is made to our June 17, 1981, letter regarding the
captioned project. In that communication, it was stated that
IIevery Public Housing reservation in the pipeline as of Sep-
tember 30, 1980, must be moved to ACC list by September 30,
1981, or else it shall be unilaterally cancelled and the re-
lated funding recaptured. "
The purpose of this letter is to advise you that, due to the
particular circumstances involved with the processing of NY06-
P054-006, we shall not exercise the recapture action as stated
above. Nevertheless, we request that the project be moved to
ACC list at the earliest possible date.

Re: Ithaca Housing Authority/Titus Towers Project
Your Letter Dated October 5, 1981
Dear Mr. Lange:
Mr. Dougherty of this department has checked out the matter and
advises me that periodically, every 3 or 4 years , the ditch has been
cleaned out by his crews and on an "as required" basis. I have checked
with John Anderson of the County Health Department who advises me that
there appears to be no pollution problem, only stagnant water and trash.
I will ask Mr. Dougherty to place this maintenance problem on his
schedule for next spring or summer, as time permits.
Sincerely,
•Dt,„,.,e_e„n
Donald A. Kinsel a , P.E.

implemented to further reduce alarms. Such measures are listed below in or-
der based on cost effectiveness:
1 . Wire exhaust fans to light switches
165 Units $ 2,000.00
2. Install plywood transom between kitchen and
living room
165 Units $ 8,000.00
3. Install roof mounted exhaust fans and electric
dampers
12 Fans $10,000.00
4. Relocate range to exhaust fan wall
165 Units $50,000.00
A further option, not recommended by this office, is to reduce the effective-
ness of the smoke detection system by replacing the ionization heads with
photoelectric heads at a cost of approximately $6,000.00.
5. REMARKS
Binghamton:
The detectors in these units are not connected to the central fire station
and have been activated a number of times by resident cooking. Residents
have been cautioned to be more careful and use exhaust fans will cooking.
Cortland:
There were a substantial number of alarms for a month or so after the in-
stallation of the smoke detection system was completed. To help correct this
situation, individual detectors were selectively desensitized as they were
activated. The Housing Authority also cautioned residents about their cook-
ing habits in order to reduce the incidence of smoke and particles of com-
bustion in the units. The alarm frequency has since dropped to approximately
3-4 per month. The kitchens are exhausted by a switch-operated electric dam-
per opening into a shaft evacuated by a roof-mounted exhaust fan. The Au-
thority is satisfied with the system as it now operates.
Elmira:
Both towers have had relatively few problems and virtually all alarms over
the years have been related to burnt substances creating smoke. The kitchens
are also exhausted by a switch-operated electric damper opening into a shaft
evacuated by a roof-mounted exhaust fan.
Hornell :
Following installation of the smoke detection system, a number of alarms
were experienced for approximately 2 1/2 months. Individual detectors were

Dear Ms. Battisti:
Subject: Notice 81-25 Section 214 of the Housing and Community
Development Amendments of 1981
This will confirm your recent telephone conversations with Associate
Regional Counsel Steven Love regarding the questions raised in your
letter of September 28, 1981.
The conventional public housing program which your Authority owns and
operates has a totally different financing scheme from the Section 8
program. As we have pointed out in HUD's November 10, 1981 letter to
Edward Connelly, Chairman of your Authority's Board, under the present
statutory and regulatory formats the Section 8 Existing administrative
fund can not be increased to cover unexpected litigation expenses.
Your conventional public housing program is more elastic. Any
expenses, of course, must be eligible, reasonable and necessary.
Awards of counsel fees granted to parties other than the Authority,
pursuant to statutes providing for the enforcement of civil rights or
civil liberties statutes, are eligible project expenses. However, it
is the present policy of HUD that attorney's fee awards - while
eligible project expenses - are not automatically reimburseable. This
element of litigation expenses, if incurred, will be subject to review
by the local HUD Area Office.
Your Authority is obligated, by contract and by statute, to effectuate
such laws as may be enacted by the Congress or the Legislature of the
State of New York, that affect your public housing program. Section
214 of the Housing and Community Development Amendments of 1981 is no
exception. Should your enforcement be challenged, the Office of
Regional Counsel will provide every possible assistance to any
attorney that you select to represent the Authority.
If you have any further questions, please contact Mr. Love at (212)

Dear Ms. Battisti:
I want to acknowledge your letter to Mr. Monticciolo of which
you sent me a copy.
As you perhaps know, I have just come aboard and your letter
was of particular interest to me because it explained exactly the
same problems that we have with our Section 8 apartments in Mankato,
Minnesota. Mankato is a college town with a large number of foreign
students--and we too are looking for answers.
Be assured that your letter will be discussed here in the
Washington office and I hope we can answer some of your questions.

Subject: Murray v. Ithaca Housing Authority
N.D.N.Y. No. 80-CV-794
This letter should serve to confirm your recent conversations with
Associate Regional Counsel Steven Love regarding the proposed settle-
ment of this litigation. It is also intended to respond the
Authority's letters of September 8 and October 2, 1981. _
As I have previously indicated, funds for the Section 8 Existing
Housing program may only be used for specific program related expenses.
A portion of those funds are used to pay the costs incurred by a PHA in
administering the Section 8 program.
There are no means by which the amount of the Section 8 Existing
allocation for Ithaca can be increased to cover the costs of a
settlement that would include an award of attorney's fees or alleged
damages to the plaintiff. However, HUD would not object to your
Authority's decision to use Section 8 Existing funds which have yet to
be committed on behalf of eligible tenants or which may become
uncommitted due to a present tenant's "leaving" the Section 8 program,
to pay the costs incurred by such settlement that the Authority may
agree to. . Thus, if the Authority has not committed Section 8 Existing
funds to cover the PHA's share of the rent of a particular unit, or of
several units, it may - for such time as is necessary to completely pay
the aforementioned expenses of this litigation - use unexpended Section
8, funds to cover those costs.

We would suggest that representatives of the Authority and the
plaintiffs meet again and discuss proposals for settlement. We ask
that you both remain aware of the impact that any damage or attorney's
fee award will have on the Section 8 program in Ithaca. The Authority,
of course, must receive the prior concurrence of its Board and this
office before it can formally enter into any settlement arrangement.

Re : Murray v. Ithaca Housing Authority
Dear Mr . Kremer :
Shortly after I spoke with you Friday afternoon ,
September 25 , 1981 , I telephoned Mrs . Battisti at the Ithaca
Housing Authority to convey to her the substance of our telephone
conversation . In particular , I emphasized to her, as you
had told me , that Cornell Legal Aid was more concerned with
vindicating a principle than obtaining attorneys fees and
monetary damages . In that context , I advised Mrs . Battisti
that you were unable to discuss the matter of attorneys fees,,
but felt that we should not consider that too important as
Cornell was aware of the financial condition of the Housing
Authority . I also told Mrs. Battisti that the figure for
compensatory damages set out in your draft settlement agreement
was negotiable,
Mrs . Battisti told me that she had not yet gotten
a reply to her letter to HUD , and unless some source of funds
were made available , the Housing Authority would not be able
to pay any compensatory damages, even if they were warranted.
In that regard , it is our position that the Housing
Authority 's policy of screening applicants is lawful . We
have agreed , with the hope of promptly settling this suit ,
to modify that policy . Under such circumstances , it would
be inappropriate for the Housing Authority to pay monetary
� � Y
Mr . Richard Kremer 2 October 1 , 1981
damages to Ms . Murray . Furthermore , the vindication of principle
would be a Pyrrhic one if the Section 8 program were left
without resources with which to operate . Cornell stands
in the enviable position of having little to lose and everything
to gain by litigation . As you know , we are not so fortunate .
During my conversation with Mrs . Battisti , I pointed
out to her, as I mentioned to you , that Cornell could go
into court after a settlement is reached and seek attorneys
fees for its efforts . As you know , a settlement agreement
resulting in a change of the Housing Authority ' s policy might
justify an award of attorneys fees . I recognize that you
have asked us to try to ignore the issue of attorneys fees .
I also understand the ethical dilemma imposed upon Cornell
by discussing attorneys fees at this stage . Nevertheless ,
I must point out to you that it is a substantial concern
for the Housing Authority .
Mrs . Battisti also requested that I tell you that
the Housing Authority has directed that no more legal fees
be spent by the Authority on this matter . I would request
that you review the terms of the draft settlement agreement
that we submitted and get back to me with your comments at
your earliest convenience .
There is one additional matter that I would like
to call to your attention . The settlement agreement which
you have drafted designates this suit as a class action .
My recollection is that Mr. Strom was not adamant about so
denominating the suit , but so designated it to clarify some
ambiguities in our initial draft . I believe that only about
three or four parties were affected by the Housing Authority ' s
policy of screening applicants . Under such circumstances ,
we wonder whether the suit should be denominated as a class
action .
Finally , HUD ' s Regional Counsel has requested that
we remind you that any settlement must receive its prior
concurrence .
After you have had a chance to review this letter,
please call me . •
Very truly yours ,
David A . Stern

Unanimously carried.
Motion to accept the minutes of October 1, 1981 by Margo Clynes;
seconded by Viola Scott.
Ayes - 7 Nays - 0
Unanimously carried.
REPORTS:
Titus Towers Tenant Council - Esther Frandell reported that the smoke
breaks have been installed throughout the building, and that the light/
fan switches have been wired together, and it seems to be successful.
The Executive Director reported there were only four alarms for the month
of November, and also pointed out to the Board the difference in cost of
having the maintenance department do this work and the architect's
proposal.
Northside Tenant Council - Viola Scott reported that thermostats have
been lowered to 70°, which complies with City regulations. Mrs. Scott
also reported on the Day Care program at both Northside and Southview.
Attorney's Report -
(a) Titus Towers Drainage Problem - letter from Donald A. Kinsella, P.E. ,
Superintendent of Public Works, City of Ithaca, to be followed up in
the spring.
BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS -2- December 3, 1981
Attorney's Report continued - Chairman Conley suggested a communication
from the IHA to Frank Liguori, County Planner, reminding him that
this is a drainage system, and possibly it could be included in a
plan in the future.
(b) Roofing contract to be discussed in Executive Session.
Chairman's Report - It was the Chairman's intention to contact Attorney
Crossmore to learn the results of his session in court on behalf of the
IHA; however, was unable to. Commissioner Scott expressed her dissatisfac-
tion with Attorney Crossmore and his unwillingness to communicate with the
Executive Director and the Board. Chairman recommended this to be discussed
in Executive Session.
Executive Director's Report - Executive Director reported on extreme
utility bills, and that they will go even higher, and with the subsidy
cuts, thus the need for investigating areas that can be cut. Thermostats
in family units have been set at 70° (complying with the City code) , and
lock boxes have been installed to insure keeping the thermostats at that
temperature. (Executive Director explained to the Board that some tenants
had found ways of jumping the thermostats up to 85° prior to the installa-
tion of the boxes.)
The modernization program at Overlook Terrace is 95% complete and should
be completely finished in two weeks. The Titus Towers hot water system
is expected to be completed on Monday, December 8th, including the computers.
The Executive Director reported that upon completion of these two items,
all modernization will be done, with the exception of the roofing, and
that over the past four years, $300,000 in rehabilitation funds has been
expended on IHA buildings.
Tenant Relations Specialist - Margo Clynes suggested that Joe David attend
a Board meeting once in a while in order to give feed-back to the Board
on his contact with the tenants, and did comment on his excellent written
reports.
Principal Account Clerk - Commissioner Tom Hanna commented on the effort
that the Executive Director and staff put into these reports in order to
meet requirements. Executive Director asked the Board to note the Compu-
tation of Payments in Lieu of Taxes, which was submitted to the City of
Ithaca. Chairman Conley noted that other agencies have never paid their
share, but that the IRA's share has always been timely with the present
Executive Director.
Section 8 Coordinator - Commissioner Clynes asked what the term, "inactive
tenant" means, explained by the Executive Director that tenants who have
been on the program and have left for one reason or another, and became
ineligible due to income, etc. Attorney Lange mentioned IRA's advertise-
ment in the Grapevine for landlords interested in the Section 8 program.
\.ee
BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS -3- December 3, 1981
Outreach Worker - No questions.

clean-up. Executive Director explained that water did not reach the Titus
Towers building; it was 5 feet from the back door and a little bit more
from the front, and that the parking lots were covered with mud and debris.
Chairman Conley felt the Board could be impressed with this report.

Re: Flood Control - Ithaca Housing Authority

Dear Frank:
The Board of Directors of the Ithaca Housing Authority
has heard that you are preparing a county-wide flood control
plan. They have asked me to write to you and request that
the drainage channel which lies immediately to the south
of the Titus Towers complex in the City of Ithaca be
included in your master plan.
If you require any additional information aboutthe
situation at Titus Towers, I am sure that Mary Louise
Battisti, the Director of the Ithaca Housing Authority,
would be happy to provide you with it.
Thank you for your help.

Re: Flood Control - Ithaca Housing Authority, Titus Towers Parcel
Dear Bill:
I have your letter of December 7th requesting consideration of including
the stream south of Titus Towers in the master plan for improvement.
Under the Section 216 project plan currently being planned for grant
assistance by the U.S. Soil Conservation Service, the City must sponsor
the project and I suggest you approach the City if you desire that
approach. Under the longer range County plan, municipal sponsorship is
also required. The latter plan has not yet been organized but I will
keep your project in mind. In the meantime, the City should be brought
into the picture.
Sincerely,

Dear Ms. Battisti:
Subject: Ithaca, NY06-P054-006/007
As you requested at the Schematic Design Conference held on November 5,
1981, this office has re-reviewed your Development Cost Budget and Pre-
Bid Estimate based upon a July 1, 1982 targeted construction start date
and it is approved as revised. Revised copies of the Budget and Pre-Bid
Estimate are enclosed for your use.
The Revised Pre-Bid Estimate is somewhat lower than your original sub-
mission mainly in the Nondwelling Structure category. It is understood
at this point that we are estimating costs which result in differences
such as those that have arisen on this project. Nonetheless, it is the
opinion of this office that your bids should come in under your Pre-Bid
Estimates.
Concerning your Total Development Budget, this office utilized the
revised figures of the Pre-Bid Estimate and the attached Revised Budget
is approvable. The original HUD review was based on a targeted Construc-
tion start date of this Fall 1981. The Amended Budget was revised based
upon the new Development Schedule which was formulated at the Schematic
Design Conference. It must be pointed out that your Contingency line
item now exceeds the five (5) percent maximum by $5,862. As stated in
our letter of October 29, 1981, you are not authorized to expend these
funds without prior approval from this office.
As discussed at the Schematic Design Conference it is understood that
you will proceed in formulating your bid documents only after the ACC
is executed by the PHA and HUD. Please be advised that the ACCs are
being sent to you under separate cover.
If you have any questions on the above, please contact Mr. Douglas
Potter at (716) 846-4688.

Dear Ms. Battisti:
Subject: Conventional Low Rent Budget, Project Nos. NY54-1, 2, 4 and 5, Fiscal
Year Ending September 30, 1982
Enclosed is your Conventional Low Rent Budget for fiscal year ending September 30,
1982, which has been approved as modified:
Form 52722A: Calculation of Allowable Utilities Expense Level was modified to
reflect the correct base period consumption data.
Form 52721A: Line 3, Estimated Cost of Biennial IPA Audit was inserted at
$.62 PUM, to reflect the estimated PUM value for the audit covering
the period from October 1, 1979 thru September 30, 1981.
All other changes on this form resulted from the above modification.
Form 52564: Line 320 - Utilities, was decreased from $176,610 to $176,600, to
reflect the estimated Utility Expense reported on form 52722A, Cal-
culation of Allowable Utilities Expense Level.
Line 930 - Operating Subsidy, was decreased from $147,249 to $125,906.
This figure represents 85.5 percent of the PHA's Performance Funding
System Subsidy Eligibility of $147,258.
All other changes on this form resulted from the above modifications.
HUD has determined that the Federal Fiscal Year 1981 Appropriations Bill is insufficient
to meet the Department's projected needs. Based upon this fact, the Department has
determined that the maximum level at which PHA operating budgets can be approved for
Fiscal Year 1981 will be at 85.5 percent of PFS operating subsidy eligibility. If
additional funds become available in this or a subsequent Fiscal Year, HUD will attempt
to restore the balance of PFS eligibility.
Any payments received by the Ithaca Housing Authority from the State of New York in
accordance with the provisions of the Home Energy Assistance Act of 1980 to defray the
costs of project supplied utilities must be reported to the Chief, Assisted Housing
Management Branch, Buffalo Area Office, HUD.
2.
The Operating Budget review was performed according to the provisions of HUD Handbook
7475.13, Appendix 1, Section 890.112(b) which includes a detailed review of the PFS
forms and a determination as to the completeness, mathematical accuracy and eligibility
of proposed expenditures.
We remind the Authority that it must operate within the approved Budget and that neither
the PUM's nor the total dollar amounts for the three controlled accounts specified in
HM 7475.1, Low Rent Housing Financial Management Guide, may be exceeded. Any salary
increases and/or additional staffing and other items not in the Budget are not authorized
expenditures without prior approval.
Accordingly, no employee may be paid more than the amount approved in the Budget as
listed on Form 52566.
The Low Rent Housing Financial Management Handbook contains information on obtaining
advanced approval and enumerates the steps necessary to effect Budget Revisions.
A copy of this Budget must be retained in your files for audit purposes.
Sincerely,
Richar W. Lipp•

Dear Mrs. Battisti:
Subject: Operating Budget FYE - September 30, 1982
New Position - Modernization Coordinator
This is in response to your letter of December 2, 1981 submitted to clarify
the Authority's position relative to the inclusion of funding for a Modernization
Coordinator in the subject operating budget.
Based on a conversation between David Roaldi of our office and Mrs. Battisti, we
understand that the Authority will not be hiring a Modernization Coordinator
immediately, and any decision to hire will be based upon the fiscal condition of
the Authority and the availability of CIAP funding.
Please be advised that pending the availability of CIAP funding and the fundability
of an application from the Ithaca Housing Authority, this office will consider any
costs incurred for Modernization Coordinator's salary and benefits under this
operating budget as reimbursable planning costs under a future CLAP program.

December 8, 1981
We implore you to appeal to the President that we must not destroy public/
subsidized housing for the elderly and poor.
The funding levels within HUD's budget for fiscal year 1983, as submitted by
the Office of Management and Budget, would be catastrophic to our most needy
and vulnerable.
Without subsidy, the housing stock will reach a point where it will either
be sold to private developers and converted to condominiums or co-ops, or
deteriorate to a condition that demolition will be the only answer.
On behalf of the members of the Board of the Ithaca Housing Authority, the
elderly and poor who reside in the apartments, we pray that you will oppose
the following proposals:
1. Less than $500 million for public housing operating subsidies.
2. Modernization funds to be used only to demolish public housing units
with vouchers to be provided for two years to those displaced.
3. No new housing production funds.
4. Recapture of all public housing and Section 8 new construction units
currently in the pipeline; these recaptured funds could be used to
demolish public housing units, convert Section 8 existing units to
vouchers, and could be returned to the Treasury.
Our senior citizens must be protected. Our poor must be housed at an afford-
able rent.
The 1982 funding levels are devastating. The proposed 1983 funding levels
will definitely complete the total destruction of public housing.
Please do everything within your power to oppose these unconscionable cuts.
Sincerely,
Mary Louise Battisti

Dear Mary Louise:
Thank you for writing to let me know of your con-
cern about proposed budget cuts in housing programs. I
appreciated hearing from you.
As you know, the President's 1983 budget is not due
until late next month or early February, and the recommen-
dations will not be official until then. There have been
reports that the White House is preparing a somewhat less
drastic alternative than the one you mentioned.
But in my view, the reductions already in place have
gone too far. Further reductions--and especially reductions
of the dimensions being talked about--would be devastating
for the needy. As you said, if existing subsidies are with-
drawn, a great many needy people will be forced from their
homes. Ending funds for new construction would mean there
would be no place for them to go.
I certainly hope we can prevent such cutbacks from
being put into effect, and you can be sure of my support
for that effort.
Once again, thank you for letting me know of your
concern at this stage in the proceedings. As you know, I
am always pleased to hear from you.
Best regards.
Sincerely,
Matthew F. McHugh

Re: Contract for Special Litigation
Dear Mary Louise:
It was a pleasure to meet with you and the members of the Ithaca
Housing Authority Board on December 23rd concerning the above
captioned matter. I look forward to working with all of you on
this matter and others in the future.
We did not have anymore original contracts and so for expediency
sake I have simply photocopied a previous contract and include
an executed original and two copies herewith.
I.had an opportunity this weekend to go over some of the files
and strongly feel that the Ithaca Housing Authority should threat-
en to interpose no further defenses before the "Class" is certi-
fied with the hope that the other authorities around the state will
become more actively involved both from a legal and financial view-
point.
I am in the process of contacting the local ONLS Office concerning
their improper characterization of the stipulated settlement of
the "Hattie Walker" case.
If you receive any further correspondence or pleadings in this
case, please do not hestiate to contact me.
Best wishes for a Happy and Prosperous New Year'
Very j-•ly your

Dear Mr. Stern:
Subject: Murray v. Ithaca Housing Authority.
This will serve to respond to your letter of December 3, 1981 addressed to this
office and your correspondence of December 11 , 1981 to Mary Louise Battisti, Executive
Director of the Ithaca Housing Authority.
Please be advised that this office has no objection to the proposed Stipulation and
Order annexed to the December 3rd letter. We do however make the following comments
and observations:
1. We fully agree with your position that this is not a proper class action.
For your possible usage we enclose a copy of Judge Edward Weinfield's recent
opinion in Kow v. NYCHA, S.D.N.Y.81 Civ. 4870 (November 2, 1981) which you
may find to be of some use.
2. We are concerned that the Authority not "lock" itself in permanently to this
position. We note the recent changes in eligibility for admission with regard to
aliens and would suggest that language be proposed permitting the Authority to change
its policy in the event of future legislative change or HUD directive.
3. The Authority might wish to consider the presumption that prospective landlords
might have regarding holders of Section 8 certificates. Many landlords presume
section 8 certificate holders have been pre-screened by the Authority as to credit
background, social behavior, etc. The Authority may wish to consider methods
which would advise prospective landlords that they will have to check into such
matters using their own resources.
Copies of this letter are being sent directly to Ms. Battisti and our Buffalo Area
Office.

Re : Murray V. Ithaca Housing Authority et al .
Dear Mrs . Battisti :
This letter will set down some of my thoughts with
respect to the revised draft Stipulation and Order submitted
by Cornell Legal Aid in the above-referenced matter.
First, you should note that Cornell has dropped
its request that the Housing Authority pay damages to Murray.
Thus, paragraph 5 of the first draft submitted by Cornell
has been deleted.
Second , most references to the lawsuit as a class
action are deleted or modified . Remember that to establish
a class action here , Miss Murray, the number of individuals
represented by the named plaintiff must be too numerous to
join. Our position throughout has been that since only three
or four individuals , including Miss Murray ,. have been Section 8
denied certificates under the Housing Authority 's policy
with respect to prior tenant behavior, it is inappropriate
to characterize or proceed with this suit as a class action.
Cornell has finally come around to accept this position for
most purposes . Thus , if you compare the original Cornell
draft with the revised draft , you will note the following :
(a) Paragraph 6 of the revised draft speaks in
terms of individuals rather than members of the class.
(b) Paragraph 8 of the revised draft speaks in
terms of plaintiff Murray rather than Murray and others sim-
ilarly situated. The affect of this difference is minimal ,
Mrs. Mary Louise Battisti 2 December 11 , 1981
however, since the final sentence of the paragraph gives
any individual affected by the stipulation a right to enforce
its provisions . The practical impact of this provision will
be slight, however, since the Housing Authority will be changing
its policy with respect to prior tenant behavior.
Third, you will note that the final paragraph of
the draft agreement is much shorter than the original draft .
The original draft contemplated a procedure for resolution
of any question of attorneys ' fees . The revised draft only
provides that the Housing Authority and Cornell will discuss
attorneys ' fees . My own view is that Cornell understands
the financial condition of the Housing Authority and probably
will not seek attorneys ' fees.
Unfortunately, it is , as Cornell has pointed out ,
improper to make any representation regarding attorneys '
fees at this time so that we are unable to obtain any guarantees.
Finally, as I have indicated to you on the telephone ,
I am somewhate bothered by the class action language in the
preamble and the introductory sentence to paragraph 3 of
the revised draft . Although it is true , as is recited in
the preamble that court approval is required for a settlement
under the applicable procedural rules, my reading of those
rules , and I qualify this by adding that I have not done
research on the question, is that this requirement is applicable
only if there is a proper class action and , as you know,
this is not a class action because of the small number of
persons affected . I would suggest that the preamble be shortened
and modified to delete the first two paragraphs which make
reference to Rule 23 of the Federal Rules of Procedure, the
provision which governs class action. I assume that there
is no problem with this.
Cornell 's rather adamant position on the class
action issue seems to stem from the belief that it will give
them greater enforcement rights . Although that may ordinarily
be the case , we have represented to Cornell that any individual
who is denied future Section 8 benefits because of past tenant
misbehavior may seek relief under this Agreement. Given
that fact , I do not see that Cornell 's concern is well taken.
I should also point out that paragraph 3 of the
revised draft only states that the parties agree that the
suit shall not be denominated as a "class action. " Although
I may be making a proverbial "mountain out of a molehill"
I do not see what purpose this serves for either the Housing
Authority or Cornell . My own feeling is that under such
circumstances the provision should be removed .
`/ �.
Mrs. Mary Louise Battisti 3 December 11 , 1981
You will note that I am sending a copy of this
letter to Steve Love for his comments. Although it may not
so appear because of the time and frustration that has been
experienced, Cornell has acceeded to our most significant
concern which is dropping any claim for monetary damages.
Furthermore , I believe that both you and Steve Love have
convinced Cornell that the Housing Authority does not have
sufficient resources to pay any attorneys ' fees and perhaps
more importantly, that it would not be in the best interests
of Cornell to pursue any claim for attorneys ' fees.
After you have had an opportunity to review this
letter, please give me a call with your comments .
If I do not hear from you, please accept best wishes
from John Blair and myself for a very happy holiday season .
Very truly yours,
David A. Stern

UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
NORTHERN DISTRICT OF NEW YORK
ANGELA MURRAY, on behalf of herself
and all other persons similarly situated,
Plaintiff,
STIPULATION AND
v. ORDER
ITHACA HOUSING AUTHORITY, a municipal Civil Action No.
housing authority, 80-CV-794
MARY LOUISE BATTISTI, as Executive
Director of the Ithaca Housing Authority,
and
VIOLA SCOTT, as a member and chairperson
of the Ithaca Housing Authority,
Defendants.
WHEREAS this proceeding was brought as a class action pursuant
to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure § 23, and
WHEREAS the approval of the court is required for any settlement
of this proceeding pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure § 23(e) , and
WHEREAS the plaintiff, individually and on behalf of all others
similarly situated, and defendants, by their attorneys, have made a thorough
and detailed investigation of the facts and circumstances involved in
this action and have concluded that it would be in the best interest of
the plaintiff, the putative affected class and each member thereof, and
the defendants, to settle this action on the terms of this stipulation;
therefore, the parties hereby stipulate that:
1. This stipulation incorporates a full and complete resolution
of all the issues raised in this action.
2. This stipulation is submitted to the United States District
Court for the Northern District of New York for approval and to be incorporated
re
as an order.
3. Plaintiff and defendants agree that this shall not be denominated
as a class action. Notwithstanding the aforegoing sentence, defendant
agrees that the policy change agreed to in Paragraph "4" shall be
annlicable to and enforceable by any individual who, though otherwise
eligible to receive Section 8 benefits, is or will be denied eligibility
for the Section 8 rental assistance program as a result of prior unfavorable
tenant behavior, including non-payment of rent, delinquent payment of rent
and damage to rental accommodations, during tenancies unassociated with
the Section 8 program.
4. Defendant IHA agrees to change its policy of denying eligibility
for the Section 8 rental assistance program by insuring that defendant
IHA will not, in any way, consider prior unfavorable tenant behavior,
including non-payment of rent, delinquent payment of rent and damage to
rental accommodations, during tenancies unassociated with the Section 8
program when determining eligibility for the Section 8 program.
5. Defendant Ithaca Housing Authority (IHA) agrees that, at any time
during the period of one year from the date that this stipulation and
order is entered, plaintiff Angela Murray will, at her request, be
issued the next available Section 8 rental assistance certificate, if she
is found to be financially eligible therefor.
6. All those individuals, other than plaintiff Murray, who have been
denied Section 8 certificates since January L' 1979, by operation of the
policy outlined in Paragraph "4" will be sent a notice by defendant IHA
stating that the standard under which they had been denied Section 8
certificates has been changed and that they may reapply for a Section 8
certificate. All such individuals who reapply within six months from the
date the notices are received by them and who are found to be financially
eligible for a Section 8 certificate will be issued a Section 8 certificate
based on their priority as of the date that they were previously denied
due to prior tenant behavior unassociated with the Section 8 program.
7. The defendants voluntarily agree in order to fully resolve
this proceeding, to all the provisions of Paragraphs "3" through "6"
above. Defendants have not admitted, or conceded, nor do they admit or
concede, that there has been any violation by any of the defendants of
any statute, rule, law, regulation, procedure or operations guide of any
kind or that there is any liability other than what is described herein,
for alleged injuries suffered by plaintiff or any other individual.
8. Plaintiff Murray hereby waives any and all other claims against
defendants for damages, whether actual, punitive, or exemplary, which
arose out of the transactions or occurrences complained of in the
complaint and hereby waives any and all claims for iniunctive and
declaratory relief she has against defendants. Nothing contained in
this naraeraph, however, shall prevent plaintiff Murray or any other
individual affected hereby from enforcine this stipulation before this
Court or any other appropriate forum.
9. Upon the resolution of all substantive issues in this proceedine,
the plaintiff and defendant will discuss the matter of attorneys' fees as
and for plaintiff's attorneys' fees and costs.
