ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT COMMITTEE:
Neighborhood Improvement Incentive Fund
By Alderperson Thorpe: Seconded by Alderperson Mackesey
This fund is set up in recognition of the many Ithaca residents
who would like to take proactive measures to improve their
communities, but who lack the financial ability to do so.
Because so many people are concerned about the deterioration of
both the physical and social characteristics of their
neighborhoods, this program offers an incentive for people to
think creatively and practically about what types of things might
do their neighborhoods the most good. The money in this fund
should not substitute for neighborhood fund-raising or for
capital improvements to the neighborhood; instead it is money to
make small projects easily done and seed money for larger
projects.
The purpose of this fund is to give financial assistance to city
residents who want to improve their neighborhoods. Money will be
given for a wide range of projects, including but certainly not
limited to: neighborhood clean up, planting in public spaces,
organizing neighborhood events like area-wide reuse events or
block parties, holding meetings for residents, etc. It is not to
be used for salaries for event organizers or for hours spent
making physical improvements; the intention is that this money
will encourage volunteerism, not replace it.
This program includes funding for the public planting and
neighborhood clean up trash tag programs. Projects that fall
under these programs shall be subject to the rules and
application process already approved for these programs.
May 3, 1995
$2500.00 will be set aside from unrestricted contingency in 1995
for this purpose. The money will be distributed in increments
not to exceed $300.00 per year to any one group of people.
Preference will be given to neighborhoods not recently granted
money from this fund.
Requirements:
1. The project must benefit the neighborhood generally; not just
a select few residents. Preference will be given to projects
that benefit many residents as opposed to few.
2. The application is a brief description of the proposed
project, including documentation of costs involved, along with
signatures of neighborhood residents. For requests under $100,
five signatures are required; for requests over $100, 20
signatures are required.
3. The Neighborhood Planner will assist groups in the
application process and will review applications before sending
them to the Economic Development Committee to ensure appropriate
environmental impact review standards are met, and other concerns
are addressed.
4. Applications will be reviewed by the Economic Development
Committee, which shall have the ability to authorize expenditures
for the projects it approves, within the limits described above.
WHEREAS, Common Council recognizes the value of physical
improvements to neighborhoods, to the health and welfare of City
residents; now, therefore, be it
RESOLVED, That $2,500.00 be transferred from Unrestricted
Contingency to A1490-435 for the purpose of a Neighborhood
Improvement Incentive Program as defined above.
Discussion followed on the floor regarding the requirements of
this program. Council suggested that a notice be published in
the Ithaca Journal to notify citizens that this funding is
available.

PLANNING COMMITTEE:
Task Force on Traffic Issues - Report
Alderperson Schroeder reported that the Task Force on Traffic
Issues is requesting that Common Council adopt the same language
that the Board of Public Works adopted regarding traffic
management in residential neighborhoods. The Planning Committee
requested that the Board consider a minor change in wording.
Charlie Barber Inventory of City-Owned Property - Report
Alderperson Schroeder reported that Deputy Director Sieverding is
working on a computerized inventory of non-park, City owned
property. Discussions will be held with the Board of Public
Works and appropriate departments to determine whether the City
needs to retain ownership of these parcels, or if they could be
sold.
Ordinance Regulating "Adult" Bars - Report
Alderperson Schroeder reported that the City does not have an
Ordinance that provides for any discretionary authority over the
approval process relating to the issue of topless bars in the
City. The Planning Committee has discussed a zoning restriction
that would apply to such establishments and has asked the
Assistant City Attorney to draft an ordinance regarding this
matter.
Ordinance Regulating Gas Stations in Residential Neighborhoods -
Report
Alderperson Schroeder reported that the Planning Committee
discussed the issue of gas stations, particularly ones that stay
open 24 hours, that are operating in residential neighborhoods.
May 3, 1995
The Committee thought that regulating the hours of such
establishments where there are noise or light impacts on adjacent
neighborhoods was appropriate. The Committee requested that the
Assistant City Attorney draft an ordinance regarding this matter.
Ordinance Regulating Expiration of Non-Conforming Uses - Report
Alderperson Schroeder reported that Assistant City Attorney
Kennedy relayed to the Committee that recent court cases indicate
that cities can establish ordinances whereby non-conforming uses
can be terminated when a property is transferred, and perhaps if
there is a reasonable amortization period under other criteria.
This could have a significant impact on non-conforming housing in
the City as well as other non-conforming uses. The Committee
will be reviewing this issue.
YOUTH AND HUMAN SERVICES COMMITTEE:
Community Empowerment Project
Alderperson Shenk noted that the Community Empowerment Project
has been meeting for months, training, and completing interviews
in the community. It was originally a combination needs
assessment, and community organizing project. The next step of
this process will be focusing on youth issues, and training young
people. They hope to have 100 students who would like to talk to
Common Council, to voice their opinions and be a part of the
political process.
Alderperson Shenk stated that the date for the meeting will be
Wednesday, May 17, 7:30-9:30 p.m., in Common Council Chambers.
INTER-INSTITUTIONAL AND COMMUNITY INFORMATION COMMITTEE:
Alderperson Efroymson noted that he has invited the Cable
Commission, and members of the Access Advisory Board to the May

Works be the Lead Agency for the Ithaca Youth Bureau HVAC
Improvement Project.

matter how large or small, and
