Re: sidewalk assessment at 306 Dey Street
Attached is a copy of the assessment for sidewalk work done last year at 306 Dey Street. The
owner states that she did not receive the letter announcing the public hearing for assessments,
and so did not appeal.
There is a mistake on her assessmen e-nTl`square feet of 6" sidewalk should have
1111 IN: tYi "City due to tree damage. Her correct assessment should have been:
25 square feet 4" sidewalk at$4.48/sf
60 square feet 6" sidewalk at 4.63/sf
$389.80
X 25%admin fee= $487.25
I would ask that the Board review this matter and Vzommend to the Common Council that a

Re: SW Repair at 306 Dey St.
Dear Property Owner:
The City sidewalk program is complete for the 1999 season. You probably have noticed that several
sidewalks in your neighborhood have been repaired.A notice of defective sidewalk was sent to you in
1999 and/or previous years prior to the city undertaking repairs on your property. The original notice
indicated the estimated amount of repairs you were responsible for at the time of that inspection.The
following is the amount measured and repaired in the field in 1999 for which you will be assessed.
4 inch thick sidewalk 25 Square Feet
6 inch thick sidewalk 120 Square Feet
These quantities and costs may differ from the original estimate because of the: Time which has
elapsed and subsequent deterioration which may have occurred;the differences in bid prices received by
the city during that time;policy that the city repairs the sidewalk which is condemnable on the date of
repair and any unsatisfactory sidewalk which is likely to become condemnable in the next few years.
The City compiles the work not undertaken by property owners into one large package and accepts.
bid on the entire package from contractors. The lowest bidder on the package is then awarded the bid.
This insures that the City gets the best prices possible for the work.In 1999 the prices were:
4 inch thick sidewalk $4.48 a Square Foot
6 inch thick sidewalk $4.63 a Square Foot
The cost of your assessment includes a 25%administration fee that is required by the City Charter.
The final assessment for this property is:
25 X$4.48+ 120 X$4.63 +25%admin fee=$834.50
There will be a public hearing at the Board of Public Works meeting on Wednesday,March 8,
if you wish to protest this assessment.Any general question regarding the assessment can be
answered by Sue Kittel at the City's Engineering office 274-6533.
Very truly yours,
William J. Gray,P.E.

Re: Proposed Pumper/Engine Capital Project for 2001
I have attached:
1) A spread sheet showing the original 1999 bid prices by 4-Guys and the
estimated cost for a third pumper(2001 proposed)if we accept the add
option by August 16,2000.
2) A spread sheet showing the payment schedule for the current pumper
replacement Capital Project and when I anticipate future payments would
occur if we took the option for the third pumper.
_% I have calculated the saving as follows:
$379,089.00 - 2001 Proposed Total
- 11,953.00 - Equipment
- 4,000.00 - Inspection Trips
- 1,240 - Warranty Bond
$361,896.00 - Apparatus total(only the cost of the apparatus was
guaranteed by the 1999 bid)
$361,896.00 - Apparatus Total
X .10 - 10%Industry price increase for 2000
$36,189.60 - Additional cost of apparatus if bid in 2000
$398,085.60 - Apparatus Total(with 2000 increase added)
X .04 - 4%Industry price increase predicted for 2001
$15,923.42 - Additional cost of apparatus if bid in 2001
My calculations reflect a$52,113.02($36,189.60 +$15,923.42)saving if we added
another pumper to the 1999 bid prior to August 16.2000. This is compared to the
anticipated price if we bid the apparatus in 2001. If the apparatus was bid in
2002,I would anticipate a further price increase.

cost savings and payment schedule make sense to you,please forward the
information to B &A for their July meeting. If you do not support this proposal,
the Department will probably not proceed.

Background
The Cayuga Inlet Trail is a proposed six-mile trail that will link waterfront destinations in the City of Ithaca,
including the Visitors' Center,Stewart Park,Newman Golf Course,Farmers'Market,Inlet Island,Cass Park,
and Allan H. Treman State Marine Park. More than 75%of the waterfront land in the City of Ithaca is
publicly-owned park and open space. The waterfront is home to Ithaca's most popular waterfront destination
—the Farmers' Market. New waterfront development, including a restaurant,waterfront promenade and
transient boat docking is occurring on Inlet Island and along the east side of Cayuga Inlet.The trail will allow

determination of the cost of service or recovered through rates, in the rate base or through

approving the transfer up to a limit of Eight Thousand Dollars ($8,000), no later than thirty
r
(30) days after the receipt of a bill from the City.

Resolution, the City shall provide written notice thereof to Franchisee. If such breach,
violation, or failure to comply is not corrected or cured within thirty (30) days, or such longer

opportunity to cure, shall be entitled to pursue all rights and remedies available to it under the
Franchise, at law, or in equity for such a breach, violation, or failure to comply.

timely comply with paragraphs 0) and (1) of Section 1 above shall entitle the City to revoke its
consent to transfer of control and, in the event of such revocation, any transfer, or attempted
transfer, of the Franchise shall be deemed null, void, and of no force or effect.

City Of Ithaca
108 E Green St July 7, 2000
Ithaca, NY 14850-5614
Dear Ms Michell-Nunn: Location Code: 20021
Chapter 86 of the Laws of 2000, effective June 23, 2000, provides for a Retirement
Incentive Program that is available to certain employees of local governments, public
authorities and community colleges.
This legislation permits employers that participate in the New York State and Local
Employees' Retirement System to provide special retirement incentive benefits to their regular
retirement plan members who are at least age 50 with ten years of service credit, or at least
age 55 with at least 5 years service credit (not including incentive credit). Eligible employees
participating in a special twenty-five year plan providing for retirement without regard to age
are eligible to participate in the incentive program if they have earned twenty-five years of
service credit (including incentive service) necessary to retire prior to their effective date of
retirement. Certain employees covered under Section 89-a, Section 89-b, and Section 89-d may
also be eligible for the incentive program.
In order to participate in this incentive plan, employers must elect to do so
on or before September 1, 2000.
Retirement Incentive Positions
Participating employers will not be required to eliminate the positions of eligible
etnployees in eligible titles receiving the retirement incentive if the employer has developed a
plan that demonstrates a minimum of 50% savings in the replacement employee's base salary
over the two year period following the retirement of eligible employees.
The savings calculation is illustrated below: -
If a person who will earn 520,000 this year and is expected to earn 521,000 next year
retires under this incentive program, the employer must demonstrate that they will save
50% of the retiree's combined 2 year salary during the next 2 years.
S20,000 + S21,000 = S41,000, 50% of S41,000 = S20,500 savings required in 2 years.
Benefit Description
The 2000 Retirement Incentive Program provides eligible employees with an additional
one-twelfth of a year of service for each year of retirement service credited as of the date of
retirement. The maximum amount of additional retirement service credit that can be provided
under this incentive program is three years.
Incentive Cost
At the conclusion of the program, the Retirement System will calculate the cost for each
employer that participated in this incentive. Payment for Chapter 86 will be either in one lump
sum or in five annual installments with the first payment due December 15, 2001. The
estimated annual cost may be determined by multiplying the appropriate rate by the annual
salary of those anticipated to retire. That figure should then be multiplied by five to determine
the total five year cost. The estimated rates are as follows:
Retirement Plan Rate
75-g, 75-h, 75-i 0.15
70, 71-a, 75-c, 75-e 0.12
Article 14, Article 15 0.09
89-a, 89-b, 89-d through 89-t 0.25
Eligibility Requirements for Employees
To be eligible for the 2000 Retirement Incentive Program, an employee must:
1. Be an active member of the New York State and Local Employees' Retirement System.
2. Be in an eligible position as designated by the employer. The incentive must be offered in
order of seniority within a title.
3. Be either:
(a) at least age 50 on the effective date of retirement with at least 10 years of service
(not including incentive service),
(b) at least age 55 with at least 5 years of service, (not including incentive service)
(c) or otherwise eligible to retire.
4. Be on the payroll of the participating employer as of February 1, 2000 and continue in
active service to the first day of the employer's open period. NOTE: Employees who are on
either a leave of absence with pay, or other approved leave without pay, not to exceed 12
weeks between February 1, 2000 to the commencement date of the designated open period, will
be considered to be in active service for the purposes of this retirement incentive program.
a. For school employees employed on a school year basis, the period of time
subsequent to June 2000 and through August 31, 2000, will not constitute a break in
service.
b. Members who are paid on a daily or hourly basis must be receiving salary for the
payroll period that includes February 1, 2000, and must continue in a consistent
pattern of continuous part-time employment to the first day of the employer's open
period.

in active service for the purpose of determining their eligibility for the incentive.
d. Members whose employment has not been terminated and who are receiving
payments from Workers' Compensation or other employer-funded disability benefits
will be considered to be in active service for the purpose of qualifying for the incentive.
