Resurfacing
Assessments ayor Bergholtz announded that he had invited the
members of the Board of Public Works to ,feet at this
time with the Council to discuss the proposed change in
the Law which has reouired since :larch 29th that property
owners abutting a street that is resurfaced shall pay
30% of the cost of such I_aprove::lent.
The following i_Ze-mbers of the Board of Public
pork's mere present: 7 ans,:::errill,Rwhhsey, _�iller, Sawdon;
also Engineer Eustance and Forester Baker.
The mayor opened the discussion of the problem by
reading the following resolution which he explained had
been prepared by himself wit,) the aid of the City
Engineer with the idea of bringing about the change in
this Law that he understood :ZOSt of the Alder;,ian favored
and he believed was also favored. by ;.lost of the taxpayers.
RESOLVED: that a local Law be prepared amending
Sec-154 of the Charter of the City of Ithaca so that wmrk
done in improving streets by resurfacing Yith sheet
asphalt :aaanufactured at the Ithaca City plant, on exist-
ing higil type pave>aent of brick or concrete, be a charge
against the City as a whole, and that no part of the
expense of the surface or the incidental work of
regrading curbs, be assessed against the abutting property
owners. However, it is understood in making the Motion,
that work involving; the repaving of a street with a
superhor type of pave:ment such as brick, asphalt or
concrete, after bituminous or water bound macada:., that
the assessment shall be figured as a new paving proposi-
tion , , but when levied tihere shall be deducted the
amount paid at the time of the original assess::lent.
There was a general di scussion, during which Engineer
Eustance explained from a practical vie;,7 point what this
proposed change rTould acco.lplish.
The :.. ayor then as.Led the i_1e.:bers of the Board of
Public ivorhs to express their views by voting infon:ially
on the proposed resolution.
Coy_1::iissioners--Evans,l,er-rill and :tiller voted to
favor the resolution; Co-:i .iission: rs Rurasey and Sairdon
declined to vote on the proposition as presented.
It was then E'oved by Alder::ian Causer: seconded by
Alder:_an Hoff,,ian that the resolution as presented by the
.,.-,ayor be ap-oroved and adopted.
The :.ayor asked for discussion of the resolution
and called on the Cor_1_1is ioners to express their views.
Cow,:,.i s i onor Evans stated that lhe iaas in favor of a
proportionately large assess;.-se:ht for d-riginal pave..ient,
but be- lieved that t.lcreaftcl such paveme t- Should be
repaired and _.lainta,ined by the City at-large nigh no
assess__,,ciit against tae property ot^ners.
Co:- lissioner SaiTdon pointed out the seriousness of
cha:.lgi le the Charter and stated that in case -repaving and
reSUr LCing L?erc nOt aSSv'SSeC�ythc Original �_sVC:1C.�t should
be assessed at near 100%. He stated that such a plan
kept the side streets fro_:1 being paved, whereas our present
plan relieved tle owners fro. l such a high original assess-
._�ent a-_, d in his opinion placed a very just and reasonable
a.y
asSCSS..':cI?t '. - , tI, for r c:SUl' acihl:� CL rEpaVinC.;.
Attorney Tre;m-i agreed that the -plan of assass_:ient
pas on :�.n oquitable basis at the present ti c and
.�;. -2- 5-4-32
recounended no change,pointing out that the change would
make an increase in the general taxes inevitable.
He also stated that he know of no legal gray to refund
as se s spent s that had already boon paid.
Speaking of the resurfacing done last year, the
. ayor pointed out , and some Aldermen agreed, that it was
understood when this wore was authorized and ::.coney
appropriated that no assess: e,ht would be levied. After
some further general discussion, the question was called
and the 7ayor authorized the Clerk to make a record
vote which was as follows:
Aye s--Sa ions, Gill, Causer,: yers,Comfort,To--rn.send,
Hof fman,Rogal sky.
flays--Lowe, Campbell.
Carried and Approved.
City Attorney Trema,n suggested that the desired amond-
ment be referred to the Comnittee on Charter and Ordinance
for preparation, as it was not clear to him just what
was desiro .
It vas therefore .COVED by Alderman Campbell,
seconded and carried, that the Committee so act with
the cooperation of the Engineer and Attorney.
