The property is located on Besemer Hill and it features extensive woodlands, meadows, two ponds, and several seasonal streams that serve as tributaries to Six Mile Creek. It also encompasses approximately 50 acres of Cooks Corners Gully — a Tompkins County -designated Unique Natural Area. The proposed conservation easement would ensure protection of the Six Mile Creek Watershed by prohibiting subdivision and development on a substantial area of steep slopes and erodible soils. The conservation easement will prohibit subdivision of the land and will limit structures to a designate4 Residential/Active Use Zone of approximately 9.3 acres. Agriculture and field management will be allowed on an additional 15 acres and the remaining 147 acres will be managed as forest. Timber harvest will be allowed, but only subject to a management plan prepared by a professional forester, and approved by the Land Trust. Once the conservation easement is recorded, Land Trust staff will monitor compliance with the agreeme&A through site visits that are typically conducted on an annual basis. The organization currently holds and monitors 142 easement agreements. While the Walcotts have generously agreed to donate this conservation easement, funds are needed to cover transaction expenses as well as contributions to dedicated funds to support long-term monitoring and enforcement. A summary of estimated project expense is as follows: Stewardship Fund Contribution* $11,000.00 Land Survey 5,000.00 Legal Defense Fund Contribution* 1,500.00 Baseline Documentation Study 2fOOO.00 Staff Expense 2,000.00 Abstracting & Closing Costs 1,000.00 Total Project Expenses $22,500.00 *A diversified fund that is professionally managed to generate a return of 4% annually to cover costs Associated with the monitoring and stewardship of the Land Trusts portfolio of conservation easements and nature preserve projects. *A grant of $11,250.00 from the City of Ithaca's Six Mile Creek Watershed Protection Fund will help ensure that this sizeable property will continue to help filter runoff to the City's drinking water supply. The grant will be matched on a 1:1 basis by contributions to the project by private individuals. On March 4, 2015, Common Council adopted a resolution (see below), in which the sixth Resolved states: "'that the Board of Public Works deliberate upon, and thereafter approve or deny, each application for funding of transaction costs of a conservation easement, and if approved specify the dollar amount, not to exceed $15,000 per application, authorized for use on the application -specific project to be drawn from the Council - budgeted funds available to this program at that time, abiding the following minimum criteria, all of which must be satisfied in support of any approved application: 1.

Having a mural at the park would send a signal to other potential artists or vandals that the park was open for business. You can look as close as Elmira and Binghamton to see what happens when people are either allowed to paint, or the city doesn't care enough to stop them painting.

There is a large amount of interest in use of the carousel for special events and small family parties. Groups have interest in prepaying for carousel tickets in larger quantities as well as paying a fee to open the carousel at no cost to riders. Is JL.

The City Clerk's records indicate the carousel cost $0.50 a ride in 2000. Last season (2017) the cost was $0.75 per ride. It is unclear when that increase was implemented but it has been $0.75 per ride for my tenure with the city (since 2010). As the carousel ages its repair and maintenance costs increase. I propose the following fee structure: Single ride: $ 1 (increase from $0.75) This price increase will reflect the increased cost of repairing the carousel and increases in pay for the carousel operators which have been brought up to the living wage rates. Prepay for tickets : $0.75 per ticket for quantities over 30 This will encourage parties to pre pay for tickets for larger private events (ie birthday parties, family reunions, etc) making it easier for the carousel operator to process the line of riders. Tickets can be purchased from the operators or at the Streets and Facilities building by cash or check.
