PETITIONS AND HEARINGS OF PERSONS BEFORE COUNCIL:
Fay Gougakis, City of Ithaca, addressed Council regarding the
Recreational Consultant the City hired and expressed concerns
about how the funds will be used, and the facility usage
resolution.
Frances Weissman, City of Ithaca, spoke about concerns relating
to exterior maintenance issues on Linden Avenue and surrounding
streets where there are rental properties.
Anne Ball, City of Ithaca, addressed Council regarding transit
issues. She stated that she would like the traffic diverters on
Wood and South Streets removed. She voiced displeasure at Mayor
Cohen’s tie-breaking vote on that issue. She further stated that
she is the Tree Committee Chairwoman at Titus Towers and she is
going to get 20 new trees for Titus Towers. She stated that City
Forester Andy Hillman has promised to assist her with this
project.
Elsie Finch, member of the Board of Trustees of the Tompkins
County Library reported that they have had 437 responses from the
lobby survey on the issue of the presence or non-presence of the
bus terminal in the present parking lot behind the library.
There were 410 signatures opposing the terminal and 27 signatures
favoring the terminal. Of the 27 in favor, a number of them were
not clear on either the location or the function of the terminal.
The Board of Trustees are in favor of the Cayuga Green Project
but they do not want the bus terminal because of issues of public
safety which they take very seriously. Other issues they are
concerned about include parking, traffic congestion, noise and
pollution. They will compile the responses and send them to the
Mayor and to Common Council.
Kathy Young-McGriff, City of Ithaca, spoke for local business
owners regarding the construction on State Street. She stated
that the construction is having a negative effect on local
businesses as the road is either blocked or difficult to travel
on. It appears that little progress is being made and residents
would like to know why. She further asked if there would be a
follow up meeting to the Cayuga Green project along with a public
input session. She also spoke of the importance of the six-point
plan to the community. She suggested that the public
presentation be advertised as soon and as often as possible.
Joel Harlan, Town of Dryden, spoke about the lack of development
in the City and surrounding area.
Neil Oolie, City of Ithaca, spoke about his disappointment with
the City’s website and the lack of concern by the City for it.
Leslyn McBean, City of Ithaca, presented herself to Council as a
possible candidate for District 2,on the Tompkins County Board of
Representatives to replace Suzanne Davis. She stated that she
supports unity, openness, and inclusion.

RESPONSE TO THE PUBLIC:
Alderperson Pryor stated that she was glad that Titus Towers is
putting a group together to work on the trees. She clarified
that the City did not cut down the tree at Titus Towers.
She further stated that an announcement would be made about a
public meeting on the Six Point Plan on September 13th from 7-9
p.m. at the Women’s Community Building. The consultants will
present a status report as the study has not been completed.
Following the presentation there will be the opportunity to break
into smaller groups to ask questions and provide comments that
will be collected and given to the consultants for their input
prior to the time that they write their final recommendation.
Alderperson Hershey responded to comments made by Mr. Harlan
about the Commons.
He further expressed support to Ms. Ball for her activism and
thanked her for the trees. He stated that he is bothered that
people are using the recent tragic bus accident at the
intersection of Route 13 and the Ithaca Plaza to further a
political agenda. He stated that the traffic diverters were not
involved with this accident. He stated that the diverters are a
temporary solution in an attempt to save a couple of blocks from
literal destruction until the entire Six Point Plan is
implemented.
Alderperson Hershey responded to comments made regarding the
library lobby survey. He stated that all of the possibilities
for an inner City bus terminal have not been reviewed yet and
that the library should not prejudice people against the project
in advance.
Alderperson Blumenthal responded to comments made by Ms.
Weissman. The Committee and Council worked very hard to revise
the Exterior Property Maintenance Ordinance and the City does
conduct spontaneous surveying of City streets. She stated that
many letters are sent to property owners by the Code Enforcement
Officer when violations are witnessed. She stated that this time
of year is more difficult in some of the denser neighborhoods,
and that the City should look into making the process a little
more efficient.
Alderperson Sams stated that she is upset by Alderperson
Hershey’s comments about the library survey. The public has
every right to petition to do whatever they feel like if they
don’t agree with the City beforehand. As an elected official,
she is glad that there are people who are willing to step forward
and share their opinions and comments whether it’s an organized
effort or not.
Alderperson Manos stated that she agrees with Alderperson Sams on
the library survey issue. She stated that she understands that
some of the concerns are premature, but at the same time
recognizes that these are serious issues for the library that
will need to be addressed. She thinks that polling the library
patrons is exactly what they should be doing at this point and
presenting those comments to Council is going to be helpful at
some point taken in the framework that they were requested. She
thanked Ms. Finch for coming, and stated that Council has
requested designs and financial information for the project,
September 5, 2001
4
including a transportation center and without a transportation
center.
Mayor Cohen stated that he agrees with all that has been said.
It is important to survey people, but it needs to be done
objectively. He has found it troublesome that there is a large
poster above the survey that says “Books or Buses” along with a
litany discussing why this transportation center would be bad for
the library, and then poses the question “are you for or against
it?” He would rather see a more objective survey completed where
all the information that will be studied is presented objectively
to the public, as well as to the Library Board of Trustees, so
the Board has a chance to objectively consider that information
along with the general public. The results of the current survey
do not hold much credibility because of how the survey was
conducted. He stated that he hopes that there will be an
opportunity to conduct another survey once the discussions have
begun.
Mayor Cohen responded to comments made regarding the State Street
construction project. He stated that Geneva Street will be paved
before this weekend and the brick work should start later this
month. Poles are on order for the traffic lights.
COMMUNICATIONS FROM COMMON COUNCIL:
Alderperson Vaughan reminded everyone that the Budget and
Administration Meeting is scheduled for Tuesday, September 25,
2001, at Central Fire Station due to the Jewish holiday.
