Alderperson Manos entered into the record a letter received by
Raymond Schlather, Esq. in opposition to this legislation saying
that it “criminalizes thought and lays the foundation for broad
based assault on the First Amendment”. He further states that
there are already laws on the books and that this legislation is
redundant, and the very real issue of preemption.
Alderperson Pryor stated that the language in this legislation has
been thoroughly researched by City Prosecutor Margaret McCarthy
and that this law only includes action, not thought or speech.
City Prosecutor McCarthy explained that this law has been modeled
after laws that have been upheld by the US Supreme Court, but that
the City’s legislation includes more groups than are covered under
current State laws.
She further explained that municipalities have the ability to
enact misdemeanor crime laws, and that the penalties included in
this legislation are the most that can be imposed (Class A
Misdemeanor, Unclassified Misdemeanor).
Alderpersons Pryor and Sams thanked City Prosecutor McCarthy for
her hard work and research on this issue.
Mayor Cohen stated that he is proud of the fact that he brought
this issue to Common Council last year, and that he is very happy
with the amount of time and dedication that was devoted to this
issue, and the excellent work that was completed. Mayor Cohen
noted for the record that the following members of Council
requested to be co-sponsors of this legislation: Alderpersons
Vaughan, Hershey, Sams, and Pryor.

Budget and Administration Committee:
17.1 Planning & Development – Request to Amend West End
Development Capital Project for Sculpture Funding
By Alderperson Vaughan: Seconded by Alderperson Pryor
WHEREAS, Common Council approved, at its regular meeting of April
2, 1997, a City allocation of $48,000 to construct bridge
sculptures on all three inlet bridges built or reconstructed
during the Route 96 project, and
WHEREAS, the original project has exceeded its budget by
$57,329.02, and
WHEREAS, the City of Ithaca and NYS Department of Transportation
have agreed to pay for the cost overruns, with the City’s share of
the increased costs at $21,152.09, and
WHEREAS, the City needs to add $2,500 for tile installation on the
Route 89 Bridge and related project financing cost for a total
project amendment request of $25,000; now, therefore, be it
RESOLVED, That Common Council hereby approves an amendment to
Capital Project #207 West End Development in an amount not to
exceed $25,000 to pay for cost overruns of the Route 96 Bridge
Sculpture project, and be it further
RESOLVED, That funds necessary for said amendment shall be derived
from the issuance of Serial Bonds.
Discussion followed on the floor with Mayor Cohen requesting that
the language in the third Whereas clause be clarified.
Amending Resolution
By Alderperson Vaughan: Seconded by Alderperson Glasstetter
RESOLVED, That the third Whereas clause be amended to read as
follows:
“WHEREAS, NYS Department of Transportation has agreed to pay for
the cost overruns, and”
Carried Unanimously
Alderperson Hershey read the following statement into the record:
“In the 1980s, Tilted Arc, a work by the sculptor Richard Serra,
rose on the federal plaza in lower Manhattan. It was a huge
rusted metal barrier imbedded in the pavement at an angle,
blighting what had been a pleasant open space. For years, most
New Yorkers walked past and around it with nary a word. Someone
thought it was art and that made it sacred. Only after one brave
federal official ordered Tilted Arc removed, did most New Yorkers
share their negative opinions of the piece. Ithaca is not New
York City. Most of us know a naked emperor when we see one, and
are not timid about saying so. From the day they were mounted on
the Route 96 bridge, the four metal sculptures there have been met
with ridicule and scorn. About the only pleasure they given most
people who drive or walk across the bridge came after a vandal
topped one with a pumpkin. Public art often elicits a range of
comment. Witness the recent controversy over the mural just
across Green Street. And almost any issue can create division in
Regular Meeting

Ithaca, as we shall see again here tonight. Thus, the most
unusual thing about these bridge sculptures is the almost
unanimous reaction they evoke. Oh, there have been a few
defenders, but very few. Most of us feel these are just
inappropriate for that site and space. And what better time than
now, as we settle accounts over the bridge adornments, is there
for us to do what common sense and good taste dictate? I am
advised by the City Department of Planning and Development that
these sculptures belong to us to do with as we wish. Mayor Cohen
has said that there are probably a number of suitable substitute
locations. Thus I offer an amendment to resolution 17.1:
Amending Resolution
By Alderperson Hershey: Seconded by Alderperson Spielholz
WHEREAS, despite the good intentions and best efforts of the
selection committee and the sculptor, a vast majority of residents
have deemed the metal sculptures installed on the Route 96 Bridge
as part of this project inappropriate adornments there, and
WHEREAS, these works will be appreciated more in a suitable
setting, and
WHEREAS, a City Advisory Commission on Art and Design for Public
Spaces has been established to advise Common Council on issues
related to public art; now, therefore, be it
RESOLVED, That Common Council directs the City Advisory Commission
on Art and Design for Public Spaces to immediately undertake a
search for a more suitable location for the Route 96 Bridge
sculptures within the City, said location subject to approval by
Common Councils, and, be it further
RESOLVED, That following this determination the Department of
Public Works, working with the Advisory Commission, will remove
the sculptures from the bridge and install them at the new and
more suitable location.
Alderperson Hershey continued his statement:
“This amendment is silent on a replacement. If we do vote to
remove the sculptures, why not just revel in their absence, making
the Route 96 Bridge testament to an old theory, that sometimes
less is more, and a new idea, that once in a while even government
can do the right thing.”

Improvement program to be administered by the Ithaca Urban Renewal
Agency (IURA), and
WHEREAS, the target area for the West End Commercial Loan program
as defined in the CDBG application encompasses a five block area
between Fulton Street and Meadow Street from Clinton Street north
to Court Street, and
WHEREAS, the IURA desires to make a loan to a business located in
the area north of Court Street and between Fulton Street and
Meadow Street, outside the currently defined eligible target area,
and
WHEREAS, the IURA further desires to make the loan program
available to other businesses located north of Court Street in the
West End, and
WHEREAS, the West End target area was defined prior to completion
of the Rt. 96 highway project, and
WHEREAS, the Route 96 highway project significantly reconfigured
the road network in the West End area and created one-way segments
of Rt. 13 along Fulton Street and Meadow Street and extended
Fulton Street north three blocks to connect with Meadow Street at
Hancock Street, and
WHEREAS, the Route 96 highway project thereby enlarged the number
of blocks located between Fulton and Meadow Street from 5 blocks
to 8 blocks, and
WHEREAS, the City of Ithaca has developed a West End Plan to guide
future development along the Rt. 13 corridor impacted by the Rt.
96 highway project, which recommends rezoning previously
industrially zoned lands north of Court Street to a designation of
permitting a mix of residential and commercial uses, and
WHEREAS, the 3-block area located between one-way segments of
Rt.13 north of Court Street contain a mix of residential,
commercial and industrial structures similar in character to the
blocks currently located within the West End target area,
including underutilized or vacant commercial buildings in need of
rehabilitation, and
WHEREAS, a series of three focus group sessions held in the fall
of 1998 with employers, employees and entrepreneurs from the West
End area and the West State Street corridor area overwhelmingly
characterized the West End neighborhood to include the entire
eight block area located between the one-way segments of Rt. 13,
and
WHEREAS, the focus group sessions identified a number of
properties in the proposed expanded West End target area that
could benefit from the commercial loan program funded in the third
year increment of the approved 1996 CDBG grant application, and
WHEREAS, the Ithaca Urban Renewal Agency reviewed the boundaries
of the West End target area and recommended the target area be
enlarged to include the contiguous 3 blocks north of Court Street
bounded by the one-way segments of Rt. 13 in recognition of the
impacts of the Rt. 96 project and City of Ithaca’s plan to guide
development along the corridor; now, therefore, be it

RESOLVED, That the City of Ithaca hereby endorses the IURA’s
recommendation to enlarge the current 5-block West End target area
for the West End Commercial Loan Program between Fulton and Meadow
Street from Clinton Street north to Court Street to include an
additional contiguous 3-block area north of Court Street between
the one-way segments of Rt. 13 along Fulton and Meadow Streets as
depicted on the “West End Economic Development Target Area” map
dated November 6, 1998.

17.11Mayor – Request Authorization for Mayor to Sign Farmers’
Market Lease Addendum
By Alderperson Seconded by Alderperson
WHEREAS, the lease between the Ithaca Farmers’ Market and the City
of Ithaca needs to be amended to accommodate the uses of docks at
the Market by the MV Manhattan Dinner Cruise Boat for the 2000
Season; now, therefore, be it
RESOLVED, That Common Council hereby authorizes the Mayor to enter
into the addendum to the lease between the Ithaca Farmers’ Market
Cooperative, Inc. and the City of Ithaca for use of the boat docks
at the Market by the MV Manhattan Cruise Boat for the period May
1, 2000 to October 31, 2000.
Mayor Cohen noted that additional issues have arisen since this
issue was presented to the Budget and Administration Committee.
He requested that Council give him authorization to continue
negotiations within the perimeters of the lease addendum. He
stated that current discussions include monies generated from the
MV Manhattan Dinner Cruise Boat coming to the City, and those
funds being used to offset the rent costs of the Farmers Market.
Resolution
By Mayor Cohen: Seconded by Alderperson
RESOLVED, That Common Council authorizes the Mayor to negotiate a
lease addendum with the Farmers Market to allow for use of the
dock facilities at Steamboat Landing by the MV Manhattan Dinner
Cruise Boat.
Discussion followed on the floor with Council members expressing
an interest in reviewing and approving the negotiated addendum.
Alderperson Spielholz noted for the record that lights have been
installed on the dock and plugged into the Market’s electrical
outlets by the owners of the MV Manhattan Dinner Cruise Boat
without the permission of the Farmers Market.
Alderperson Blumenthal suggested that a Council member be
appointed to work with the Mayor on this issue, and that
authorization be given to approve the negotiated addendum.
Alderperson Pryor recommended that the City develop consistent
language under Item 5 regarding protected classes.
Mayor Cohen stated that he will call a Special Meeting to approve
the addendum.
