On recommendation of the Mayor it was moved by Alderman Gibson, seconded by blderman Gee and carried Chet the regular order of business be dispensed with and that matters listed on the agenda for this meeting be considered. -SALTS TA, Mayor Ryan announced that city officials including all of the aldermen, the City .Attorney and himself were invited and urged to attend a, meeting with the Board of Supervisors in the County Courthouse on Jan. 3, 1958 at 7:30 p.m. to discuss a proposed county sales tax. ;11Y0�t'S STuT' iF ;T: ITayor RT,�an presented the followi;c: stu.tement: r.s I end my first term,, of office anc' Agin my, second :I want to thank ever77- one for the fine cooperation I have had . There have been times when we have disagreed on certain matters but that is to be expected as we are all entitled to our own opinions. levertheless T-Te can all take credit for many accomplishments during the past several years. `Te are all going to have to make important decisions during the next two years. The last several have meant the start of projects that were long over-_ due. 'e are going to have to decide in the next few months whether we want to continue to shorn progress on public improvements or to remain at a standstill. In order to keep modernizing our city without placing any more burden on the taxpayers we should make every effort to make sure that everyone pays their fair share of the ultimate tax burden. A sales tax would also help us to finance these improvements. Ly own personal opinion is that we should support the sales tax with the stipulation that the City will receive their share in cash based on population and apportioned to two different accounts. I am in favor of half of it going into the capital reserves and the other half to 'the general fund in order to keep our city tax always as low as possible. =mong the important projects that I myself am going to rush for are the arterial highways. ?Te are already assured of the widening of Seneca And Green and the relocation of Rate 13 within the -aty• I am sure that with continued. s£forts on our part that we will have a new r. -,outh Hill route (96b) coming into tho city which I krrnw alreadv is being con- .0-del—ad by the State Department of Public Works and the new highway (Route 96) from Meadow and Hancock Sts. across the Inlet to the T umansburg Road that I feel will be approved because of the new location of the County Hospital. There are other things that will have to be considered after the Planning Hoard makes their recommendations and the Capital budgeting has been established for such projects as a new library, fail, city hall, firestations and training site for firemen plus several other projects. The Common Council deserves consiAerable credit for their splendid cooperatior. in 2pproving many items including (%hay:`er Revision, Annexation, additienal off- street parking and others. Our Board of Public Works deserves much c edit for the many hours they spent on problems of weter, sewers, highways, garbage, street 1 ghting, creeks, bridges, Public buildings , *-ounds, perking and traffic , etc. 2 _ Jan. 2, 1958 The Council and the Board of Fublic Works have both cooperated very well in the past and I know that both of these bodies of city government urill continue to work together. Our Planning Board has done a good job. They have helped to establish a regional Planning Board of which the City is a member. Federal funds for an Urban Renewal project have just been approved and plans for a civic center are almost ready. They are the group that made a study of the needs of the City and will recommend what should be done at the present time. le should attempt to fulfill whatever their recommendations are. Capital budgeting means paying for these improvements over a long period of time and by the taxpayers of which there are many. In other words this all boils down to doing what should have been done gradually over a period of years with each taxpayer now to be assessed a small share. In the next several weeks I hope to discuss with Cornell University represent- atives several important matters concerning the City of Ithaca. I know this . 7 will be a friendly discussion and I am sure that inthe final out-come Ithaca r- will benefit by it. John F.

SCCIiL SrCt;RI"Y - POLICrTIEA? (I FIREIFN: Alderman Stimson reviewed a stud- made by the Finance Committee regarding social security for policemen and firemen. He reported that both the F.B.A. and the Paid Firemen's Association had, upon request by the Committee, advised that the majority of those ^ffected in the respective groups are in favor of current rather than retroactive coverage. In case of a misunderstanding both groups were requested to reconsider but the same general result was obtained the second time. He reported that the Finance Committee originally favored retroactive coverage to Parch 16, 1956, similar to the coverage extended to all other members of the Retirement System, but in view of the expressed desire of the majority in both the police and fire depart- ments the Committee feels reluctant to legislate benefits if they are not want- ed or to spend taxpayers' money for such benefits under the circumstances. He presented correspondence regarding the subject between the Corffnittee and the _.) respective associations. After further review the following action -las taken -A By Alderman Stimson: seconded by Alderman Mazza a=� RESOLVED, 1. that the City of Ithaca, pursuant to Section 218 of the Federal Social Security Act and Article 3 of the Retirement and Social Security Law, provide old-age and survivors insurance coverage for eligi')le policemen and firemen effective on the following date: December 16,, 1957 2.

Acknowledgment of the growWwork of several statutory librarians of the Cornell Library AAssociation, especially Harry Stutz and Sherman Peer, looking toward a new library building; 2. Agreement that there is a need for a new library building in a new location so as to provide better facilities, including reader services on the ground floor, adequate bood storage, children's and young adults' services, and better narking space= 3.

Review and re-evaluate all actions, plans and directives relating to the objective of a new library building, 2. Make definite recommendations as to the appropriate location of a new building, 3. Review all aspects of financing the construction of a new building. And, in order to assist the Library in carrying out the foregoing objectives, it is further resolved that the President appoint a committee to be selected from the Trustees of the Library, the Associates, Friends or other interested persons to act either separately, and T,Jith, or as a part of, a joint committee including persons designated by the City of Ithaca and the Board of Supervisors of Tompkins County. " I EREAS, the Finance Committee of this Common Council in session with several other aldermen in attendance has reviewed and approved these preliminary aspirations, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that this Common Council approve and hereby does pprove the cooperative project of the Cornell Library Association and the City of Ithaca for the construction, location , and management df a new public Library building, provided that cooperative plans that are mutually agreeable are subsequently approved and ratified by the Common Council 4ND B7 IT FURTHFR RESOLVED, that the Mayor be empowered to appoint three representatives from the City of Ithaca, one each from the Common Council, the Board 'of Public works, and the Planning Board , to serve with or on the Puilding Committee of the Cornell Library Association, as referred to herein and as authorized by their resolution. Unanimously Carried. K71yor Ryan presented and read the following statements °1}zile it is necessary to follow through your present plan regarding the library as iir. Stimson just stated, I would like to suggest that we look into the possibility of using the present High School for a City Hall with all city Offices plus the Library. There are some citizens who say this could and should be done. There are just as many other citizens who say the city, after all these years, is entitled to have new and modern buildings that will last as long as the present public build- ings that are now used by the city. Perhaps the price that the school officials would want for the high school and the cost of remodelling to provide for a large modern library and city offices would cost as much as the planning board's recent plan for a new library, city hall, jail, etc. Then again would the library people want to turn their t50,000 over to us if we decided to have the library in the high school. I expect to invite a group of people especially those connected frith City Government to make an inspection soon of the school to see if it could be used. .-, - Feb. 5 , 7958 t�TTTIOP' RGWRTER REVISION CON IRS: Alderman Murphy reported that the Charter and Ordinance Committee had approved ground rules for the Charter Revision Convention scheduled to be held on March 4, 1958.

Several of the paid firemen were present and Donald J. Bennett, Secretary of the Firemen's Association, spoke in their behalf. He expressed their disappoirnt- ment at the Council's action. He called attention to the fact that the Bd. of Fire Commissioners had taken action recently to approve the request, that it will not require more man power and wages and that the Fire Department is con- stantly losing paid members because there is not enough incentive to retain them. He predicted the loss of more of the experienced men and he urged that the request be referred back to committee for further study. Alderman Connolly stated that not only members of the Fire Relation and Finance Committee but all members of the Council are familiar with the facts and he therefore felt there is no ,justification to refer it back to committee. 2 - i,arch 5, 1958 PIDS _ FIP.E HOSE: The Clerk read the following letter from the Bd. of Fire COMRisstoners: The Common Council City of Ithaca , New York Oentlemen: In compliance with the Common Council resolution of December 20, 1957, the Board of Fire Commissioners has obtained sealed bids for the purchase of fire hose.

Attorney - Clynes clerk - Blean Deputy Clerk - Sinsabaugh AN'TEXATION - LIB7RNAN PROPERTY: Mayor Ryan announced he had called this special ✓ meeting to consider further the proposed annexation of the Liberman property on East Shore Drive. He reported that an Act in the legislature regarding this matter nor awaits a request from this Council that it be brought out Of committee for legislative action. Alderman Stimson reviewed in detail a petition dated Feb. 24, 1955 submitted by 11r. Liberman, Fr. Liberman's letter of Feb. 5, 1958 both requesting annexation and the subsequent seperate actions taken thereon by the Council. He pointed out that the 1955 Petition was a joint one by T1r. Liberman, 44 residents of the E. Shore Drive and 3 residents of the Rosemary Lane section whereas Mr. Liberman's letter of February 5, 1958 requested annexation of his own property only and, therefore the area involved is not the same area 7lhich was approved for annexation by the Board of Public I•Torks'and Common Council in 1955, as members of the Common Council were led to believe. He reported that since Feb. 5th. residents of the E. Shore Drive area have again expressed an interest in annexation. He stated that zoning problems of the area are not mentioned in the bill and that in other areas the bill is defective and needs clarification. He urged delay in action at this time.

NOW, THEREFORr, be it resolved that this petition be referred to the Board of Public T-Torks for study and that the Village of Cayuga Heights and the Town of Ithaca also be consulted so that a mutually agreeable approach to annexation may be developed and ground rules be t�Torked out with all three municipal corporations and with the residents; and that the residents of the surrounding area be given an opportunity to join in the petition. as in 1955; and that the Board shall complete said investigation and report .to this Council, so that this Council can have a .proper bill introduced into the 1959 Legislature -Then it convenes. i�YES: 12 0 Carried. SPECIPL TAX COUNSEL: The Clerk read the following letter from the City Attorney: Gommon Council City of Ithaca Ithaca , 'qew York Gentlemen: My partner has at the present time at least six tax assessment review cases, some of which are in the Spencer Road area. Ti,To of the cases concern corporations of which I an Secretary and on the Board of Directors of one, end I am on the Board of Directors of another. I believe that if I were to represent the City in any of the tax cases arising from the Spencer Road area that I might be violating the spirit of the Canon of Ethics since I might be considered to be on both sides. I feel that I 'would be subjeq$ to criticism if the City did not have special tax counsel for these cases, including negotiatior prior to their institution, since any settlement that I might advise in my partner's cases might subject one or both of us to criticism at a later date.

Cummings, Vice-Chairman of the State Building Code Commission, had mviewed the new State Building Code before members of the Charter & Ordinance Committee and commented on its success elsewhere in the state. It has been adopted by 31 cities in NeTT York State and is being used as a model code by 35 other states. He explained that while the city's present building code is the specification type, permitting only the use of certain materials, the State Code is the performance type which does not specify particular materials; but does specify safety regulations, thus allowing the use of new materials. He advised that the State will provide amendments to the code, hold public hearings thereon, provide an appeal service and furnish supervision; that there will be no expense to the city for publishing the code or its amendments and that the city has the choice of accepting or rejecting the code after 18 months trial. He stated that Building Commissioner had expressed his approval of the code and that the Charter & Ordinance Committee recommend its adoption by the City to become effective June 1, 1958. By Alderman Murphy: seconded by Alderman Gibson RESOLVED, that the Common Council of the City of Ithaca, 'A\eTT York hereby accepts the applicability of the State Building Construction Code for the City of Ithaca, to become effective in said City on the lst. day of June, 1958, in accordance with the provisions of Section 374a of the Executive Law; and it is FQRTHIR RESOLVED, that the City Clerk be and he hereby is instructed to file a certified copy of the Resolution in the principal office of the State Building Code Commission at 1740 Broadwa:;,, I\TeTT York 19, `ew York, and in the office of the secretary of State at "lbany, AeT,, York. Unanimously Carried. - - 1 Py FIRP. CODE: alderman =,urphy reported that an abbreviated edition of the new proposed :ire code, recommended by the ;National Board of Fire Underwriters, had been reviewed by the Charter & Ordinance Committee and approved by Fire Chief ¢ 'heaver, He noted that its enforcement will be under the direct supervision of Fire Chief which will afford an opportunity to regulate the storage of hazardous materials in an effort to prevent fires as well as the control of regulations concerning fire extinguishers, places of public assembly, and safety measures in commercial establishments, It will also provide the means for forcing violators to comply with such safety regulations which cannot now be done under our present ordinances. He advised that it is proposed to hold another meeting on the code ,,ith Richard Chamberlain, an engineer with the N.Y.S. Fire Rating Organization, the week of May 26th. , and he invited and urged all members of the Council to attend this meeting and hear a discussion of technical aspects of this matter. He expressed his hope that the Code may be adopted by the City in June since it must be adopted this year if the City is to keep its fire rates at their present level. T7LEVISION CABLE FRANCHIST• Alderman Murphy reported that questions raised at the last meeting of the council regarding the television cable franchise had been discussed by the Charter & Ordinance Committee with representatives of the lectronics Dealers /�ssociation and the Cerrache Television Corp,. The association claimed that Nor. Cerrache is controlling television sales and service by having such a cable franchise and using it in conjuction with advertising his sales, They felt the franchise should be amended to correct this situation. He reported that the City Attorney had advised the Association that it is not an exclusive franchise and that an qualified Y � person may apply for one, He also reported that the Pssociation was advised that if it felt the franchise was being violated it should bring the matter to the attention of the City Prosecutor as the Council is a legislative body not a judicial one. He reported that, in- conclusion, it was agreed by all present at the meeting that the Dealers Association should attempt to -,York out a solution with Cerache Television Corp. on advertising and that a copy of any such agreement would be referred to the Charter & Ordinance Committee, OVT'_R1iI1HT PARKING 1TN STRMTS: alderman Osborn reported that the Parking & Traffic .ommittee had been studying all phases of parking for over a year and that the Board of Public Works and Planning Board had cooperated in -this effort by making P lot studies of parking habits throughout the city. Those studies showed, among other things, that 32'151 of the available off,-street parking spaces were not used at night and that as much as 4.2,Wlo of the cars parked at the curb overnight continue to use the streets for dead storage in the daytime, She reviewed the many problems encountered. She reported that Cornell University is cooperating by providing off-street parking for residents of its dormitories. She reported that the majority of her Committee recommends the banning of over-.night parking in the streets and that they feel the Board of Public Works will implement such a plan by helping in every way possible. Since the subject was not listed on the agenda for this meeting, she asked Council permission to present a motion regarding the matter at this time. Alderman Gibson objected on the grounds it was not included in the agenda and because he felt that the question of where to put the cars has not yet been solved 1�llderman Stimson urged consideration of the Corw ittee•s resolution at this time and suggested that 1lderman Gibson register his objections by vote and lderman. Horn concurred. Attorney Clynes reviewed the resolution of Feb. 1956 concerning items on the agenda and Alderman Gibson again objected because it was not included in the agenda for this meeting, Alderman -Alo then urged that the Board of Public Works be urged to make its feelings known to the Council regard- ing what can be done to solve the problem of where to put the cars, Alderman Osborn stated that she had been assured that the Board of Public T^Torks will have a recommendation for presentation in the matter. She then asked the Mayor to permit Mr. Peter Kellogg, President of Student Council at Cornell University, and who was late in arriving at the meeting, an opportunity to be heard on the subject , 1r. Kellogg stated that it would create undue hardships on students particularly those living off campus, He noted that the University has a plan for providing parking for dormitory students but the responsibility for those living off campus rests with the city or landlords. He requested more informationrn the implement- ation of the ban, and urged its rejection at this time, alderman Stallman urged that this matter be settled as soon as possible and rlderman Osborn concurred. I± was suggested that the Vayor arrange for a special meeting of the Council for this purpose as soon after the next meeting of the Board of "Public 'Torks as possible. YCUTH RECF ATION: 41derman Gibson reported that the Youth Recreation Committee is ✓ studying the proposal submitted by the Board of Public '.Torks to develop recreational areas at the municipal airport and will report '�ho_-e,nin the near future.

FRAAtCH SE: Ittorney Clynes Flay 14, 1958 from Tompkins County Electronics cDealers tAssociationa addressed atod Mr. Anthony Cerrache requesting his personal attendance at a meeting called by said association and to be held at Chamber of Commerce on P`onday, May 26, at 8:00 P.m. to discuss the advertising procedure of the Cerrache Television Corporation as distinguished from that of the Television Shop. He noted that copies of the letter had been mailed to various city officials as well as self as City Attorney. He advised that the Charter and Ordinance Co him- mmittee had met on May 6th. with this Pssociation and discussed this matter and that he as City Attorney had at that time advised the association that if it felt the franchise was being violated it should be litigated in court, or attempt to negotiate with Nor. Cerrache, holder of the franchise, and if a change in the franchise were agreeable to him then any suggested change should be presented to the Council for action. This "smacks" of a public hearing, he continued, and as City Attorney I will not attend this meeting and I feel that if any members of the Common Council or other public officials participate in it, they are doing so as individuals and not in their official capacities. This is a matter between individual dealers. Cerrache is the holder of a franchise which during .its life cannot be altered without his approval. If he should consent to any amendment then and only then should it be brought to this Council. SOFT BPLL DIaAI s AT T A�GROU1`DS Mayor Ryan reported that the Board of Public �. Works had taken action to May loth. to approve his recommendation that $1,000. be made available to it to develope and maintain three soft ball diamonds at the Fairgrounds for use of the City Soft Ball League this year. He reviewed his recommendation in detail and then called on Fir. E.E. Erdman , President of the Softball League, who endorsed the Mayor's recommendation and urged the Council to act favorably on providing the appropriation reruested. He advised that the G.L.F. exchange is willing to lease the Fairgrounds for $1.00 and the Board of Education will provide bleachers and backstops. By Alderman Gibson: seconded by Alderman Harrison R,SOLVED, that the i9ayor and City Clerk be and hereby are authorized to sign and execute a lease on behalf of the City for use of the Fairgrounds for one year for this purpose upon the approval of such a lease by the City Attorney. By Alderman Gibson: seconded by Alderman. Alo Carried. RESOLVED, that the Board of Public Works be authorized to proceed immediately r,aith the developement of three soft ball diamonds at the Fairgrounds; and that when the actual cost of such developement has been determined it be reported back to the Council for appropriation of the necessary funds. Carried. ALL-i?IGHT PARKIMG IN STREETS: The Clerk reported that the Board of Puolio !orks had taken action on Nay 14, 1958 requesting the Council to rescind its action dated Sept. 12, 1956 which continued the program of all-night marking on city streets, effective Sept. 1, 1958. He reported further that the Board had recommended that the Common Council be advised that it is planned to install parking meters to take care of the indicated deficiency of overnight parking u in the critical areas; and that the Board had taken frther action requesting the Council to authorize the Board to advertise for bids on 300 parking meters. The Clerk then read a letter from South Hill Civic Association expressing its sympathy in efforts to limit overnight parking insofar as possible and its opposition to the installation of parking meters in the residential areas of South Hill. The Association stated that problems differ from area to area and that a satisfactory solution must take such differences into consideration. Mimeographed copies of a resolution adopted by the Cornell Student Council were distributed to members of the Council. The resolution opposed the proposed overnight parking ban. Tr. Peter Kellogg, President of the Student Council, reviewed the resolution in great detail. He urged the Council to delay its action in banning overnight parking which he stated would create a real hardship for all students. He suggested that present regulations be enforced more strictly. t�1 bl 2 - '::ay 15, 1958 Johnson, Vice-President of South Hill Civic ;association, reviewed in detail the opposition registered by residents of the South Hill area. He pointed out that permits were issued for most of the houses built in Crescent Place and Hatiathorne Circle as well as the Aurora Height developement on Grandview Avenue without too much emphasis being placed on parking facilities. there is little room in most cases to build a garage. He urged special con- sideration for South Hill since most of the residents are property owners who use their cars every day and therefore do not use the streets for dead storage during the daytime. Several students voiced their objections to the ban and cited their individual' economic problems and the financial hardship that it would create for them. Two property owners on East Hill pleaded on behalf of the students. Trr. H.H. "Tilliams, a resident of Oak "'venue, objected to parking meters as a solution. He called attention to an off-street parking lot in his area which he claimed is depreciating neighboring property values. He predicted that forcing cars off the streets will cause unsightly off-street parking facilities to take the place of lawns and shrubbery in many residential areas and will continue to down-grade property values in the areas affected. Suggestions offered in the Place of parking meters were the use of monthly parking permits and the use of school grounds at night for off-street parking. Alderman Osborn reviewed the work of the Traffic Committee of the Council in cooperation with the Board of Public "forks, the planning Board, Cornell University and Ithaca College over the past year on all phas% of parking including over- night parking in the streets. She stated that while parking meters is net the ultimate solution yet it is felt to be a step in the right direction. It will force some cars to use present off-street facilities not now being used according to surveys made and thus eliminate the use of streets in the daytime for dead storage. She predicted that the installation of parking meters in the tight areas at this time will enable the city to find out what private initiative can do to take cars off the streets and thus pinpoint the spots ?where municipal parking lots in residential areas should ultimately be provided. She predicted that if its citizens and residents work as a team with government agencies the matter can be solved. By Alderman Osborn: seconded by Alderman Horn RESOLVED, that the action of this Common Council dated :Sept. 12, 1956, which continued the program of all-night parking on city streets, be and it hereby is rescinded, effective Sept. 1, 1958, in accordance with the reouest of the Roard of Public `,Torks dated Nay 14, 1958. ^.lderman Murphy op-nosed the resolution by stating he felt a great majority of residents of the city are satisfied with the present plan of alternate parking in the streets at night and that any change at this time will create more hardships throughout the city than the relief it will provide. He also opposed the relaxing of zoning restrictions for fear of downgrading property values in residential areas. He claimed that installation of parking meters grill defeat their purpose since cars will still be parked on the streets at night. He felt it would be impossible for most car owners to find or provide off-street facilities by Sept. 1st. Alderman Stimson opposed the resolution also. He estimated the increase in cost of street cleaning and snau removal " $4.00 per fear on a property valuation of $20,000. by using figures given by the Hoard of Public '"Torks. He insisted that street cleaning and snow removal can be accomplished without too much inconvenience rith cars parked on side of streets - blocked driveways can be handled by the Police Department - fire safety he recognized as the most im- portant item and where this is particularly bad, parking can be prohibited entirely as has been done in the past. ',lderman Horn urged adoption of the resolution. He stated that the Committee favors parking meters at this time rather than off-street lots as more economical even though meters will not take all cars off the streets. He agreed meters are unsightly but will be a temporary situation only and -sill afford a flexible method of regulating parkir_g which will in turn provide the experience that Twill tell where the City may have to step in and aid Taith off-street lots in residential areas. The ultimate aim he said is to wet all cars off the streets at night. Alder mall Gentle recommended adoption of the resolution. He predicted its adoption will give property owners a chance to provide some of the off-street facilities needed if cars ire not permitted to park in the streets. Fr z� - 3 - 1"ay 15, 1958 Plderman Gibson opposed the resolution and predicted a real problem of enforce- ment for the Folice Department. He visioned the hiring of several additional patrolmen for this purpose. He cited the economic hardship that the ban will create for people living on retired and fixed incomes who have been forced to take in roomers and cannot provide them with off-street parking facilities. ,,lderman Alo and Visnyei also spoke in opposition while Alderman Connolly spoke in favor. roll call vote was taken on the motion which resulted as follows: `I'S: 7 - Baldini, Harrison, Connolly, Osborn, Stallman, Gentle, Horn !v"YS: 7 - Murphy, Mazza, Stimson, Gee, Gibson, Visnvei, Alo /. 'n1D 1"Jayor Ryan cast his vote in favor of the resolution.

(Alderman Gentle' s statement regarding over-nigh parking) 6-18-58 I have opposed banning the cars from the street unless a workable solution was fueled. I thought we ted such a solution at our .Hey mooting and I supported the hen, mat the facts oY this complex froaum make it abundantly clear to me that I ma au Aa take . it is bad enough to make a mistake, but it is even warts to live with it, rattier tidmi admit Ito tow shut are some of the fasts in the Bast Hill area? y`irst of all, the prroLlem is too mew cars for the presently available off street parking facilities in most of this urea. On this point there see:as to be general agreement* how many 6i436 cure do area Leval I don't know. but i do know that there are honest diff- ereneeedirt of opinion. Two surveys have been Aide by the city, with contrasting resuite. I. do not question the sincerity or the ability of those responsible -toxo r:ne serveya, but I cannot agree with sore of the conclusions based on them. ;whey? one reeson, we are dealing with human oeiniis and they are sometimes un- predictable, for esarple, an unused parking tree in the rear of a residence deee not necessarily represent potential r.arkina for 2 or 3 cars, because the owner wants it for a play area fur his mail children - another doesn't need the income and doesn't want the inconvenieenoe. rut seme indication of the magnitude of this problem in inlet ;fill is re- vual+sd by the increase in student card at Cornell. 1a 1954 tnere were 2,769 student ears. In Hey of this year, over 5,000 stickers have been issued to car capers. Not all of these cars are in the kart hill area, but most of them are adjacent to the vLe ii►y: The number of atudent cars has increased about Ia, II. . mince city grade its curve a �s�ear ago. This is over 30 per month - 30 addit- 1 tonal cars since our May meeting of the Council - more cars than you can park on . , . k an average city building lot, yes, en ough to fill 2 lots such as we have on East Hill. Without considering any increese for Ithaca College or of non-student cars, ,It., (t.f � you are free to draw your own conclusions of where we stand now on c&r numb �rs. airs compared with b years ago. \ ...0/ Nov,, what is the proposed solution? Off street parking lots and street meters. The "Ban" will fill up the r;ara ns end parking areas not now being used and this will admittedly take care of many cars now on the street. TMLt it will also leave hundreds with no place to gos unless new parking areas are created through private initiative and I am sere rr'ch will be accomplished in this Winer. For those care which cannot be aceeeemo.1lted :in this manners street meters will be provided. lit order to accommodate the excess f°a,:rs efter the presently available mace is filled, it is obvious that a substeanti.el number of new parking areas are need- ed. In order to accomplish this, a change in the zoning ordinance is proposed in the A and A scones. The proposed change, if enacted, will permit the establishment of a commercial parking lot anywhere in these sones. In my opinion, this down grading of a Boning ordinance, in an effort to solve parking problems, will also down grade property values in the affected eras and with ro assurance tJlat it will solve the parking problem in er tical areas, naw or in the future. On this s proposed change of the zoning ordinence, t#ich so vitally affects property msnere and property values in residential creel, edegeat, time for a full understanding of whet it means is needed. Then, theme neople should have an opportunity to 1 J ti eae their fe;elinge before ar, sweeaf iaag ohanie of this nature is acted on. I acre oppoaad to this change in the aonirag ordinance and Z will not support it, without convincing evidence that is is deeirwi by those affected by it. in 1954, we started night stream parking because ve didn't have enough off street space for the cart at that time. Now, 4 years later, and with 2,000 additional student cars, in a laudable but desperate effort to got back where we here before night parking was permitted, we propose to break the back bone of zoning to accomplish it. And where will we be u years or 8 years from now if the car population trend continues? Unless relief in larger measure is forthcoming we will have made ash ambles of our toning ordinance, patched our residential area with parld i ; lots and in addition, area will heave meters extending into areas not now d dr eataed of.

N_ayor Ryan welcomed all and asked that those who wished to be heard on the subject to be as brief as possible. hr. Alex Selsley from the "public service committee" presented a petition by residents, merchants, business and professional people in the city opposing the all night parking ban and requesting the Council to abide by their wishes by rescinding the ban and submit the matter to a referendum at the next election. He reported that the petition contained 1,368 signatures. Mr. Van B. Hart Ct spoke for the Bryant Park Civic Assn. and urged putting into effect and continuance of the ban. He presented and reviewed in detail a three-page report on the subject as it related to the Bryant Park Area. The concluding statement of the report urged that regardless of what action may be taken by the Council regarding city-wide banning or permitting of over- night parking, the Association felt that there is ample evidence that over-night parking is not needed and should not be permitted in A-1 residential areas of Bryant Park. Mfr. Elmer Pearl opposed the ban on behalf of the South Hill Civic Psstn. He reported that surveys made on the S. Hill area clearly reflected the majority opinion to be opposed. He noted that of those polled only 14-4p were in favor and only 20 in favor of night parking meters. hr.

Reconsideration of the ban was requested. 1derman Gentle stated that he wished to publicly acknowledge the many letters he had received on the subject. He reported that with one exception they all supported him in his position in the matter at this time. He stated thgt he voted for the ban on iiay 15th. because he thought we had a workable solution but that since that time facts have Trade it clear to him we do not have one and therefore he had changed his mind in the matter. He presented and reviewed in detail a three page summary of his position. By Alderman Gentle: seconded by Alderman Gibson RESOLV,D, that the action of this Common Council dated May 15, 1958 which rescinded, effective September 1, 1958, a prior action of this Council on September 12, 1956 continuing the program of all night parking on city struts be itself rescinded and this Council hereby reaffirms its action of September-1'2,-1956. alderman Osborn reported that the Traffic & Parking Committee had met yesterday and once again reviewed the matter. It is still the majority opinion of this committee that action taken on May 15th. be upheld she said. She again reviewed the many studies of this problem made since April 1957, the recommendations of the Planning Board and the Board of Public 14orks favoring the ban, the willingness of Cornell University to provide off-street parking facilities for men and women residents of its dormitories. She reported that since the action taken by the Council on Nay 15th. fourteen property owners have expressed their interest in providing off-street parking facilities estimated to accommodpte 244 cars. She predicted that if the ban is upheld it will afford an opportunity for city officials and citizens to work_ as a group in solving the problem, and if given time it can be solved she stated. hlderman Connolly termed it an injustice for some property owners to be taxed on garages -Thile others are permitted to park free in the streets.

Gee announcing his resignation as an alderman from the Third hard. Mayor Ryan expressed his thanks to Mr. Gee for the many hours he had spent on city business attending meetings, etc. He commended him especially for the fine work he has done as Chairman and a member of the Police Relations Committee. PUBLIC H7AR UG ZONING pMt1gCR: Mayor Ryan announced that this sreeting had been called for the purpose of authorizing a public hearing on the proposal to change the zoning from an A-1 to an A Residence District of a small area in the 900 block of r. State Street. He advised that this meeting is not a public hearing and therefore only members of the Council will be allowed to .� speak at this time. Mayor Ryan stated that he was not trying to prevent in- terested citizens from being heard on the subject but asking that they await the public hearing at which time all interested parties will be heard from. By Alderman ISurphy: seconded by Alderman Mazza RESOLV D, that the Council does hereby authorize a public hearing to be held at 7:30 p.m. on August 6, 1958 on a proposal to change the zoning from an A-1 to an A Residence District in the area described as follows: All that tract or parcel of land in the City of Ithaca. County of Tompkins and State of New York bounded on the north east by the southwesterly line of East State Street; on the south east by the southeasterly line of the ?,hn. Schmidt property; on the north west by the southeasterly line of Valentine Place and on the south west by the northeasterly line of the present special District (containing the Nurses Home Property) running from Valentine Place southeasterly to the John Larkin estate property. AND Br IT FURTHER RESOLV-D, that the City Clerk be authorized and directed to advertise said public hearing as required by law. Alderman Connolly noted that there is currently a case before the courts regardin, remodelling of a house at 9Z7 :F,,. State Street which is in the area desired to be changed and he recommended no action pending a court decision in this matter. He further termed the proposal spot zoning and opposed it on this basis. On inquire from Alderman Visnyei, I-r. John LoPinto, attorney for the owner of tie 927 E. State Street property, described this property. He stated it was an old 22 story building that had remained the same for decades and that Mr. Stuart V. Carpenter, the present owner, had applied for and received a building permit to remodel it into a 4-apartment house. He had made no changes to the exterior of the building on the front or sides but had built an eddition on the rear. As it now stands it comprises four incomplete apartments which in the overall are 77%, complete with the plumbing and water services about 92% complete. He advised that hr. Carpenter had expended $32,000.00 to date in remodelling the house. Alderman Osborn offered her objection to spot zoning and she too urged that action be delayed pending a court decision in the case. Alderman Stimson stated he felt it -was an extension of the adjacent A Residence District rather than spot zoning. On recommendation of alderman Visnyei, Flayor Ryan ordered a ten-minute recess for a discussion of the matter by members of the Council, at the end of which the Council was reconvened and a roll call vote taken on the motion which re- sulted as follows: AYES: 8 - I,urphy, Mazza, Stimson, Baldini, Stallman, Visnyei, klo, Gentle NAYS: 4 - Harrison, Connolly, Osborn, Horn.

Aug. 6, 195$ I-Tith the increased interest in youth, Recreation and Parks in this Cityy I feel that the time has come to combine these departments under one authority and to make the job attractive enough financially to interest enough candidates to try the Civil Service examination. It is my plan to have the Superintendent of Public Works, Mr. Frank Laverty, retain the overall control of the public utilities including the water, sewer, streets, trees, public buildings, construction, etc. At present Charles Rich now hold the position of Asst. to the Supt. in charge of the Hater & Sewer Division. Nay plan would add a second assistant to the Superintendent who also would be the Youth Bureau Director. This new assistant to the Superintendent would be directly responsible to Mr. Laverty but would have charge of Parks, Recreation and Youth. It is planned to have more youth activities than at present. The city is reimbursed by the state in this phase of operation and is expected to do everything possible to keep these funds coming to the City. The Assistant Superintendent for Parks, Recreation and Youth would have under his control the regular program of the Youth Bureau as at present which U- includes games, concerts, tournaments, small fry football and many other special dam„ events. It is planned to place under his control all city facilities that are used for parks, playgrounds, golf, concessions and also the airport that is to be developed into baseball and softball diamonds, tennis courts, archery range, badminton courts, playground and picnic areas. The large boat launching and marina are expected to be one of the chief operations under the park superintendent control. He would have control not only of renting but also of maintenance of the boat launching and the marina; the maintenance of all trees, landscaping and care of beaches etc. in all the parks would also come under his supervision. I have discussed with Dr. William Gragg, Superintendent of Schools, the plan of having certain recreational school programs placed under the direction of the new Asst. City Superintendent. By placing all recreation under one supervisor we could avoid duplication and waste of public funds. School facilities would still continue to be available for community use. . He recommended it be referred to the Youth and Recreation, Charter & Ordinance, Finance and Bd. of Public "forks relations committees for joint study. By Alderman Stimson: seconded by Alderman Gentle RESOLVED, that the matter be referred to the Council as a committee of the whole. Carried. BUILDWO COi1JTS`-.IONtER _ RESIGITUTICN: Mayor Ryan announced he had received a letter from Mr. Loch-rood, tendering his resignation as Building Commissioner to become effective upon the selection of his successor. The Mayor presented the following statement: ft this time I would like to refer to the Finance and Charter and Ordinance Committees the thought of reorganizing the Building Commissioner's Office. The committee could decide if the salary should be attractive enough to interest architects or engineers in this position. Also the amount of help needed in this department. Another suggestion has been made to combine the City Engineer's position with the Building Commissioner's Office. Mr. Cass would have available both staffs in carrying out the duties of the Building Commissioner's Office. By Alderman Stimson: seconded by Alderman Horn M]SOLUED, that the matter be referred to the Charter & Ordinance Committee for study and report. Carried.

He reviewed paragraph 28 of section 35 of the Charter which gives the Council the power to do this. He then reviewed a meeting held with representatives of N.Y. Telephone Co. and N.Y.S. 1,31ectric & Gas Corp. at which time both companies opposed the petition. He reviewed a letter from N.Y.S. Electric & Gas Corp. on the subject which pointed out that the increased cost of underground facilities would ultimately be reflected in the rates charged to customers and to the City for street lighting, would require new house services estimated at $200 to $300.00 and T-;ould be the responsibility of the customer or home owner and that a change in plans at this time would result in a delay of several months in construction work. This position was endorsed by the telephone company. Mr. Stimson challenged the rate increase by stating that any increase must be approved by the Public Service Commission. He stated he did not feel the cost on new services to home owners would apply in this instance. He said he had given up his fight for underground installation of facilities because he did not grant to see the construction work delayed. He then criticized the engineering staff of the Department of Public `,Torks for being remiss in not bringing this matter to the attention of the Council in the planning stage of the project. He referred to the relocation of the fire alarm facilities which are not being placed underground and charged that there is poor liaison between the Dept. of Public T=Torks and other departments of the City. He accused the Board of Public Uorks of usurping the powers of the Common Council and in illustration called attention to recent action of the Board giving permission to N.Y. Telephone Company to install underground cables on D1en•Rd. He reviewed paragraph 27 of section 35 of the Charter giving the Council the power to regulate such matters and he recommended Council approval of the Board's action in this instances By Alderman Stimson: seconded by Alderman Connolly RESOLVED, that the request of W.Y. Telephone Company to install an underground telephone conduit for a distance of approximately 19000 feet easterly on Dryden Roadf�iom the Corson parking lot be granted with the understanding that the work be done under the supervision of the City Engineer, and B7 IT FURTHER RESOh7M, that this authorization is retroactive to July 24, 1958. Carried. On motion the meeting was adjourned. jc C, j _y Goo. A. Blean City Clerk July 29, 1958 Francis J. Laverty City Superintendent City Hall Ithaca, New York Dear Franks Alderman Stimpson has asked my opinion -as to the Board of Public Works and Common Councils powers, with regard to new telegraph and telephone lines. Section 27 of the Transportation Corporations Law provide that a telegraph and telephone corporation may erect, construct and maintain the necessary fixtures for its lines upon over„ or under any of the public roads,, streets, and highways. The corporation shall, however, before laying any such line in any city, village, or town of this state, .first obtain from the Common Council of the citys, permission to use the streets within such city. With specific regard to the Dryden road matter the Board of Public Works granted said permission to the public utility. However, it is my opinion that this is within the province of the Common Council. I have discusset this with Alderman Stimpson and rather than raise the point at such a late date, we feel that we will let this one pass, but in the future all requests for the erection, construction or maintain- ence of lines should come to the Common Council for approval.

BUDGET - 1959: Alderman Gibson presented and read the following statement: "It is felt by a majority of the Council that an informal indication of our thinking for the 1959 budget should be expressed. By doing this we hope to guide the various department heads in their basic approach in their budget P considerations. Many changes have taken place in the operation of city government in`the last decade *.•thich have provided the people with many improved services at a minimum of cost. We should like to encourage these activities within the de- partments which will produce efficiencies in their operations, We are sure next year will present new problems which will be met by now solutions. How- ever, it is our opinion that the taxpayers of our city are not in any position to withstand any increase in the city tax rate in 1959. In fact, we are sure they would welcome some tax relief, however slight it might be. To this end, therefore, we feel we should make our intentions clear to all department heads in the city that we shall not entertain any budget which <will necessitate an increase in the tax rate. To be even more to the point,:we ex- pect them to produce a budget which will effect a saving for the taxpayer in relation to his 1958 rate. Furthermore, the majority feel that this can best be brought about by the department heads. Therefore, we suggest that the department head prepare• his budget with these thoughts in mind and give them to the city clerk for com.. pilation into composite form which will be presented to council for their con- sideration. In all probabilities, it will then be turned over to the Finance committee for their consideration and returned to council for action. It is hoped that by this procedure, many unnecessary hours of endless dis. Gussion of operational details can be avoided and that this body can devote its attention to policy and legislative matters in the manner in which it should per- f orm." -NTAGE INCR-;fSES; The Clerk read the following ,rage increase requests: a. Paid Firemen's Association - $400.00 minimum increase for each member of the Ithaca Paid Department plus other fringe benefits. b. -Police Benevulent Association - that a maximum wage of $5,500.00 be granted. c.

Ryan, Hayor City of Ithaca City Hall Ithaca, Flew York Dear Mayor Ryan: Upon recommendation by the Tourist Division Executive Committee, the Board of Directors of the Ithaca Chamber of Commerce has reaffirmed its opposition to the making of any charge for the parking of vehicles on the grounds at Ithaca's Stewart Park. This matter has been previously discussed and the conclusions reached were that a great amount of money is being spent to advertize Ithaca as a tourist attraction and that it would be unfair, upon inviting a person to visit our area, to charge them to park their car at our very beautiful city park. Our Board likewise felt that it would be uneconomical to pay a man to collect this fee unless such an exorbitant fee was charged, and that people would refuse to visit the park under any circumstances. °'e would appreciate having the contents of this letter read into the minutes of your official boards so that the position of the Ithaca Chamber of Commerce, relative to the parking charge, is known.

I took no part in the writing of the contract by the Planning Board and have deliberately maintained arms length from this par" titular transaction. - 3 - November 5, 1958 City Planning Director '.Tallick, at my request, discussed this possible conflict of interest with the field representatives of the Urban Renewal from New York City and they feel that since the City can get the work done cheaper through Management Consultants and since I receive no monetary reward from them, there is no conflict of interest under the terms of the Federal Contract. Trusting the foregoing sets forth my position in this matter so that at a later time the conflict of interest may not be questioned. Respectfully submitted, James J. Clynes, Jr. City Attorney By 11.1derman T urphy: seconded by Alderman Piazza RESOLVED, that the contract with Panagement Consultants be approved and that the I°ayor be authorized to execute it on behalf of the City. Carried. ITHACE C' _FGT;: The Clerk read a letter from Ithaca College requesting the cooperation of the Council in exploring the possibility of the College acquiring city properties adjacent to its new Ouarry Street campus site.

SALE OF L(7I` 1T 624 HUDSOhT STREET: The Clerk reported that an auction sale had been held on Oct. 21, 1958 at which time a city_otrned lot located at 624 Hudson Street had been sold to the Ithaca Congregation of Jehoviah Witnessess for the total sum of v2,n17.86. He reported receipt of $200.00 at the time of sale and the balance of $1817.86 on Nov. 5th. upon delivery of a quit claim deed to the property. PURCHASE OF S`LT SPRT;ADER: The Clerk reported that the Board of Public "Torks had requested authorization to purchase a salt spreader, estimated to cost P3,000.00. , from savings in amounts appropriated for purchase of equipment in its 1958 budget.

AYBULANCE SERVICE: Police Chief reviewed a problem that has arisen in regard to the function of the Police Department using prowl cars for ambulance service to the Hospital since its move to the new location on the Trumansburg Road. He advised that after consultation with Hospital authorities it was agreed that the hospital be called when an ambulance was necessary. He reported that the Police Department is anxious to cooperate but is not manned to provide ambulauc-_ service and that there is some feeling that this service as such is being dis- continued. He requested that a decision in the matter be made by the Council. After considerable discussion it was generally agreed that this is a matter for hospital authorities to work out with the Board of Srnpervisors. By Alderman Gibson: seconded by Alderman Harrison RESOLVED, that the matter be referred to the County Relations Committee and Chief of Police for further study and report. Carried. AUDIT.

Gibson'v statement regarding the 1959 budget but warned against the danger of not having the budget scrutinized carefully by the Finance Committee. He urged careful consideration of all salary increase requests and other fringe benefits in adhering to the hold-the-line policy. He noted that in the past all alderman have been invited to join the Finance Committee in its budget deliberations and he strongly advocated that this practice be continued. He urged the Mayor to appoint the standing committees of the Council for 1959 at this time so that new committee members, especially those on the Finance Committee, if any, will be ready to serve immediately. He called attention to the urgent need of getting the budget in the hands of the Council as soon as possible so that it may receive careful study and be ready for tentative approval by Jan. 1, 1955. After further discussion it was agreed that department heads should submit their respective budgets to the City Clerk as soon as possible for compilation and presentation to the Mayor at which time he may call a special meeting of the Council if deemed to be necessary. BUILDING COMMISSIONER: Alderman Niurphy reported that the Charter & Ordinance Committee recommended that the City should first reorganize the office of Building Commissioner for the City but remained receptive to having this �. official serve the Town of Ithaca and Village of Cayuga Heights in the future if a practical, reasonable and economical plan can be worked out. He advised that the Finance Committee will study a salary schedule for the position, the Charter & Ordinance Committee will define the duties' of the Commissioner and 04 Y'r. B.W. Taber, a member of the Planning Board, had already visited the Build- "`" ing Commissioner's Office in Syracuse in an effort to gather information on the subject and that he will seek help and advice thereon from the State Build- ing Code Commission. He advised that with permission of the Planning Board, Planning Director 14allick had been appointed as fitting Building Commissioner until Jan. 1, 1959. SCHOOL MIMS: Alderman Stallman reported that a traffic study which has been conducted in the Valley Road-.State Street area does not justify the expense of hiring a school guard to serve at this location. He advised that parking has been prohibited for approximately 50 feet on either side of State Street at Valley Road and that a path for crossing has been painted on the pavement resulting in a visibility of about 100 .yards at this intersection. Alderman Stallman recommended that the school guards serving at the Plain-Court, Plain-Buffalo and Geneva-Court Street intersections be paid additional compensation for extra hours worked due to the fact that they serve both parochial and the public schools and have to serve longer hours than guards at other locations. By Alderman Stallman: seconded by Alderman Baldini RESOLVED, that extra pay at their regular rate be authorized for school guards on duty at the aforementioned locations. Carried. 37f,ER SERVICE OUT"IDE CITY LTI-iITS: By Alderman Baldini: seconded by Alderman Stallman RESOLVED, that the request received at the last Council meeting from the. Town of Ithaca regarding the city's policy of providing sewer service outside the city -limits be referred to the Board of Public ''Torki for study and recommendafi.ori„ Carried.

N ovember 15, 1958 To: Hon. John F. Ryan, Mayor and Members of the Common Council: Please consider the following a preliminary report on the 1959 budget. I had hoped to be able to submit the final grand total of all budget requisitions at this time but the following requisitions remain to be filed at this time: Estimated Charter Revision Commission $ 8,000.00 Planning Board 22,500.00 Total requisitions for all purposes that have been filed with me to date are summarized as follows: 1958 Budget 959 Estimate Board of Public Works $517,091.00 $ 513. F08 Board of Fire Commissioners 224,075.00 226,315.00 Under Control of Council 640,101.00 610,x72.00 Debt Service 49,410.00 47,490.00 Constr. & Perm. Improvements 68,500.00 66,150.00 Capital Reserves 112,155.00 — — — -. $1,611,332.00 p i4kT bYa� Yow let us take a look at the income side of the picture as I see it at this time. It has been estimated by the City Assessor that the 1959 city tax roll will show a net taxable valuation of approximately $1,000,000.00 less than it did in 1958. Therefore the following is my best estimate of anticipated in- come for budget purposes for the year 1959 at this time: Surplus of prior year 96,160.90 50,000.00 Miscellaneous Revenues 505,029.49 490,304.72 Taxes ® $12.50 per M. 1,010,141.61 00.00 i $1,611,332.00 1,537,go .72 For the sake of comparison let us assume that the Planning Board's budget and that of the Charter Revision Commission should be approximately what I have estimated them at and that we place in the budget for Capital Reserves the same amount that was appropriated. for this purpose last year. Then the picture would be revealed as follows: 1959 Estimate Board of Public Works 5131808 Board of Fire Commissioners 226,315.00 Under control of Council 641, 3"12.00 Debt Service 47,490.00 Construction & Permanent Improvements 66,150.00 Capital Reserves 112,155.00 Grand Total of Budget Requisitions $i r,,'- ,r T- vb / Go' X9a. s�rc c Estimated Income as shown above 1,537,804.72 r37 goy{ Balance or DEFICIT 74,74-8- 2g G 9 SSG I hope to have the two remaining budget requisitions by the early part of next week at which time a complete detailed compilation will be prepared and sub- mitted. Respectfully submitted, Geo. A. Blean City Clerk - 2 - 'Tovember 15, 1958 Since the 1935 flood this city and the south side residents have been asking for flood control and relief. The army engineers have made several studies but have maintained that the benefit from such protection could not justify a sizeable expenditure. However, of recent years the development at the Plaza has changed the situation, and following the spring of 1956 flood, a review of the damage benefit Was favorable and earlier this week the Army Engineers and N.Y. State Flood Commission presented a comphrensive plan to correct and relieve this con- dition. The plan includes the straightening, widening, construction and deepening of channels to convert 20,000 cubic feet of run off to Lake Cayuga, regardless of the lake level. I have been informed that this Is the equivalent of the peak 1935 flaw. The cost of these improvements total about $5,800,000.00, of which $40000,000. would be federal funds. Non-federal responsibilities total $1,800,000.00. These are guaranteed by the state who look to the city for an assurance that the city will accept responsibility for $500,000.00. The principal item of cost to the city is the construction of a new bridge at `,1. Clinton St. estimated at nearly $303,000.00: the relocation of city owned utilities, water, sewer and fire alarms, and the payment of an enhancement benefit of 2.1% ($85,000) to the government. This latter payment can be made by doing certain work for the government. The N.Y.S. flood control commission has requested an immediate adoption of a resolution by the Common Council, which will be made later. The urgency of the matter, is that the Engineers wish to have the plan in Washington D.C. for consideration by the next Congress. I strongly recommend the adoption of this resolution by the Common Council. It offers a rare opportunity to make vast progress for relatively little expense. Superintendent Laverty presented and reviewed a map of the proposal.. He termed it a goad, engineering job and one that will accomplish the purpose for which it is designed. He strongly urged its approval and stated that he felt it would be very unwise for the city not to accept it. Alderman Stimson stated that he regretted the rapidity with which the Council is expected to act on such an important matter without giving the citizens of Ithaca any time to express themselves regarding the price tag of the project. He stated that he had talked with some residents of the first and third wards and from their opinions, together with such other evidence as is available in such a short time, he believed he wctld be acting in their interests in offering the proposed resolution at this time. He also stated that the City Attorney had advised him that the wording - "willingness to participate" - gives the city time to find out how its citizens really feel about the proposal before a final commitment is made. Alderman Stallman asked if the Board of Public Works had approved the proposal. By Alderman Gibson: seconded by Alderman Stimson RESOLVED, that this Council be adjourned until the Board has given its expression or opinion of the matter. Carried. The Council meeting was adjourned accordingly and the Board of Public "Torks convened in meeting. By Comm. Yengo: seconded by Comm. Pickering RESOLVED, that the proposed flood control project as presented be approved and recommended to the Council for its approval. Carried. Approval of the Planning Board was solicited. Chairman H. Stilwell Brown questioned the traffic problem it might create by having all traffic use the State Street bridge, also its possible conflict *.•rith urban renewal. Planning Director Wallick expressed his opinion that in general it does for the Island area that urban renewal intends to do but that he could see no general conflict. By Comm. Reeder: seconded by Comm. Lee RESOLVED, that the Planning Board approves the proposed flood control project as presented and recommends it to the Common Council for its approval. Carried. 3 November 15, 1958 Alderman Stinson presented a resolution which was acted upon as follows: BY Alderman Stimson: seconded by Alderman Yurphy I--- RESOLVED, that the Common Council of the City of Ithaca express its willingness to participate in the Federal Flood Control project at Ithaca as proposed in a tentative report prepared by the Buffalo District Engineers, U.S. Corps of Engineers and dated November, 1958, by assuming responsibility, and so assuring the �%Y.S. Flood Control Commission, for certain items of non-federal cooperation as follows: 1. Furnishing without cost to the State of New York any lands, easements and rights-of-way required by the project and title to which is vested in the city. 2. Replacement, relocation or reconstruction of the facilities of ly owned utilities, including but not limited to seurer and water lines, streets and bridges, as required by the project. 3• Installation and maintenance of protective barricades as might be re- quired by the project. 4. Adoption and enforcement of ordinances prohibiting encroachment upon the improvement and providing for regular Policing and removal (as ordinary maintenance) of obstructions which might impede stream flow . or interfere with proper functioning of the project. 5. Contribution, in return for special enhancement benefits, a sum equivalent to approximately 2.1% of Federal construction costs or provide the equal in construction T,Tork, Alderman Gibson advised that the proposed resolution was prepared by the Chairman of M.Y.S. Flood Control Commission who had assured city officiall that the Council is only being asked to express its interest in it at this time. He urged its adoption. AYES: 13 MAYS: 0 Unanimously Carried. STPNDING C 'ITTEES: Alderman Stimson inquired if the new standing committees are expected to become effective immediately and the Fayor replied yes.

SPECIAL ELECTION - CITY CHARTER: The Clerk read a letter from the Charter Revision Commission requesting approval of a special election, to be held in the Spring of 1959, to vote on possible changes in the City Charter now under study by the Commission. Mr. Mendon Smith, a member of the Commission, reviewed the request briefly and urged Council endorsement of the idea. Alderman Stinson pointed out that there seemed at first to be two main objections to holding a special election - that of cost, and small voter interest. He advised that it has been determined that the ground rules for a special election of this type may be established by the Council and therefore will reduce the costs to a minimum of approximately $2,000.00 and that it is also the responsibility of the Council to see that it is properly publicized so that it will stimulate enough S interest to get out enough voters. By Alderman Stinson: seconded by Alderman Gibson RESOLVED, that the Common Council agrees with the principle of the holding of a special election of the voters of the City of Ithaca, to be held in the Spring of 1959, to vote on changes in the City Charter to be submitted to the City Clerk and the Common Council by the Charter Revision Commission at least two months before such election. Unanimously Carried. P'INGIR LAKES ASSCCIATION AGREFLENT: The Clerk read a letter from Ralph C. Smith, a Director of the Finger Lakes Association recommending renewal of the annual contract with the Association for publicity services for the year 1959.

Alderman Stinson stated that it is hoped to have a meeting of the Council as a committee of the whole to be held on Dec. 15 to discuss matters pertaining to the 1959 budget and recommended that this matter be left for discussion at that time. By Alderman Stinson: seconded by Alderman Stallman RESOLVED, that the Finger Lakes Association agreement be referred to the full Council, for discussion on Dec. 15th.

TRIPHAMYER.BRIDGE_, Mayor Ryan presented and read the followipg statement: "It has been my intention to make two recommendations to the Common Council tonight on the Triphammer Bridge. Neither of these require a resolution at this time. 1. That the Common Council not make any appropriation for the replacement of Triphammer Bridge at this time. 2. That the usage of the existing bridge be limited to the safe loads as determined by the engineers. At the present time the load limit is five tons but this could change from time to time in the very near future be- cause of deterioration of the foundation. I have been informed by the City Attorney that the discontinuance of a bridge is in the province of the Board of Public Works and I intend to ask the Board to completely and thoroughly study the matter both as to traffic counts, possible discontinuance of the bridge and possible repair of the bridge. Because of the City Attorney's ruling, that is all I have to say until the Board of Public Works decides something. " 90 ,1 TTY CONTRI3UTION: Mayor Ryan presented and read the following statement: "At this time I would like to suggest that perhaps Cornell officials would in the interest of good public relations between the University and the city be willing to consider the possibility of paying an annual sum of money to the city for an in-lieu of taxes payment. This, in addition to tax exempt property, would cover the sewer contract, fire and police protection and other things that may arise such as the Triphammer Bridge etc. I understand this has been done in other college towns and certainly is neoessary here to save a lot of bad feelings between the University and the City. I would like to appoint a committee to meet with representatives from the Uni. versity, to discuss this possibility, if Cornell officials favor such a move. Co U1�'IVF S Ski i�' t t�Te7 S Attorney Clynes advised the Council that Cornell University has applied for an order granting a review of the determination Of the amount levied against it for sewer rentals for the year 1958 and that a hearing on this matter has been scheduled for January 23, 19$9• HOC-AL aW ACTT^u FOR 2AMAGFS ETC. Attorney Clynes presented a draft of A local law amending section 221 of the City Charter requiring that a 24-hour prior written notice of defective sidewalks, streets etc. be filed with the Dept. of Public Works before the city will be liable for damages. Alderman r°aarphy read the local law as follows: "The City of Ithaca shall not be liable for the damage or injury sustained by any person in consequence of any street, highway, bridge, culvert, sidewalk or crosswalk in said city, being out of repair, unsafe, dangerous or obstructed by snow ice z or- otherwise or in any way or manner, unless written notice of the defective, unsafe, dangerous or obetructed condition of said street, high- way, bridge, culvert, sidewalk or crosswalk shall have been given to the Board of Public rforks of said city, or at the office of the Board of Public Works of said city to the person having charge thereof, at least twenty-four hours previous to said damage or injury. This section applies to claims of infants and all other persons. No action may be maintained for damages or injuries to persons or property caused or sustained as aforesaid, unless the action is evmmenoed within one year after such damage-s or I n jvwles rare austsained. This section applies to claims fief infants and all other persons„ The place of trial 2 - December 23, 1558 or all actions or proceedings against the city or any of its boards or officers shall be in the County of Tompkins, unless changed by order of the court." Dy .lderman i:urphy: seconded by Alderman Horn it7SOLVED, that the local law as presented be laid on the table until January ?, 1959 the next regular meeting cf- the Connor Council.

Alderman Stimson reported that it will be necessary to make a final audit of bills before the end of the fiscal year and recommended that the Finance Committee be authorized to make such an audit. By Alderman Stimson: seconded by Alderman Gibson 'BEREA", it is customary to make a final audit of all unpaid bills before the end of each fiscal year; and since it is impossible to have such a final audit for 1958 ready for approval at this time, and liNEREAS, it seems impracticable to call the full Council back in session eight days hence on December 31, 1958, for this sole purpose, and whereas, the next regular meeting of the Common Council will be held on January 7, 1959• NOTtl THEREFOR] B" IT RESOLVED, that the Finance Committee of the Common Council be empowered, authorized and directed to convene as an auditing committee on or before December 31, 1958 for the purpose of making the final audit for the year 1958; such audit to be subject to the subsequent approval of the Common Council on January 7, 1959.
