Egan: seconded by Comm. Conley RESOLVED, that the minutes of the preceding meeting be approved. Comm. Saperstone noted that his prepared statement presentud at the last meeting was not made a part of the minutes and asked a ruling from Attorney Lee in regap� to having it made a. part thereof. Mr. Lee ruled that his statement was out of order at the time he presented it. By Comm. Conley: seconded by Comm. Saperstone RESOLVED, that the Clerk be instructed to include Mr. 5apurstone's statem nt in the minutes at this time. Carried. With this correction the minutes were then duly approved, and his statemont follows, Comm. Saperstone's Statement, dated Wednesday, Jan. 25, 1956 Mr. Mayor: I have served on this Board five .years, and I am its s.wrior m mbar. During; this period, I have served attentively and diligently, for you will find that I was absont from only four rostings in all that time. Further, I believe I have served the people of Ithaca well. I worked Oor a better and cleaner Stewart Park. I advocated a cleaner supervised bathing beach, an improved zoo, an outdoor swimming pool without one cent cost to the taxpayers.. boating facilities, a supervised playground for small children. I invostigatud the Stewart Park Trust Fund, the Television Cable sot -up. I advocated a �wc nt club house, with showers, for our golf course. Some of th�sa improved recreation- al facilities have materialized during my service on this Board. I fought for annexation, improved strLet lighting in the residential a.roas, not the downtown business area. I have advocated additional off-street parking and a modern city hall, library, police station and city court, and many respon- sible people in this community have commended my suggestions for financing these much - needed facilities, for they bcliove as I do, thoy present tho most economical way to bring them about. I call this record to your attention and invit_, you to compare it with those. of other members of the Board. Now, when I'm the sanior member of tho Board, you offer me assignment on committcos on which I scrvcd as the freshman Board member five years ago. I nwed not toll you that oho crocks anc bridges committoc and capital improvements committee; have not functioned in years. They Lr, committees with fancy titles and no moaning. No man with self- respect could accept this kind of promotion for long service, and neither can I accept your gesture. The plain fact is, all committau assignments have: lost their meaning on this Board, The groat strength of this body was that it was chartered and intandcd to be a bi- partisan board. Yst, this board has bcon degraded. It has bo "n rc- duced to the status of an elective board where the spoils go to the victorious party. In the nearly 50 years this Board has functioned, I do not know of a case to parallel the prosant situation. I doubt very much if the chairmen of the three most important Board committees were ever drawn from one politi.col party... or that the throe members of the most important committee, that dealing with our water and sewer system, wer: chosen from the ranks of one political party. I hav; said many times during the past three years that this Board had de- t v ioratod, and that it has operated as a clique to stiff ideas aimed to make Ithaca a more progressive city. The manner, Mr. Mayor, in which your committee appointments have barn made, only substa.ntietos that opinion, for I fear that gov,,xnmont by clique is to continue. In good conscience, I cannot become part of the clique system and accept your appointments. I can best serve this city and its people by attending all r,vular and special Board moo tint's, by being; alert to what the Board says and oDrn , ind by speaking my beliefs. You may strip me of committee assignments, but yjr aLnnot take away those things I hold to be right in the interests of our citi zons, (SignO David A, Saperstone Commission .r , Ed. of Pudic 97orks City of Ithaca -� 4 - 2 - February 8, 1956 SEWAr',E PERMIT - W.

Comm. Saperstone urged that if the bid is awarded to Mr. Bangs that he should be re- quired to guarantee the city a base revenue from the concessions of $1,251 per year.

Saperstone criticized action takep at the executive session of the Board on May 7th stipulating that a person wishing" to bid on the concessions at Stewart Park and Percy Field must have had five years of successful operation of a concession in a public park or the approved equivalent thereof. He stated that he opposed such action at the executive session and re- quested that his opposition be recorded at this time. He alleged that such action will limit those who will be able to qualify as bidders and therefore recommended that the 5 -year clause be stricken out entirely. He offered a motion to this effect but it was not seconded. Commissioner Decker and Comm. Egan both stated that it was not the intent of the Board to discriminate against bidders but that the requirement referred to was agreed upon in order that the Board may be assured it is dealing with reliable bidders. In answer to an inquiry from Comm. Saperstone, Attorney Lee stated that it is within the province of the Board to decide if the requirement is necessary, By Comm. Saperstone: seconded by Comm.

Saperstone disclosed that Col. :earl Murphy from Headquarters First Army has informed him that it appears the originally select- ed site for the U.S. Army Reserve Training Center adjacent to the U.S. Navy Training Center at Ithaca would have been satisfactory but that this site has been preempted for a State Arterial Highway. The remaining area at this location has been deter- mined by the Army District Engineer to be unsuitable for a Training Center from an engineering point of view, due to its low location and lack of a suitable firm bottom as proved by borings of up to 82 feet in depth taken there. He urged that the Board make a concerted effort to find an alternate site in Ithaca as close to the High School as possible for this purpose. Supt. Laverty reported that he has an appointment with Col. Albanese at 2:00 p.m. tomorrow, to discuss this matter. MRFzTTNG HOUR: By Comm.

A. Blean, City Clerk July 119 1956 TREE DAME REPORT At the Oct. 27, 1954 meeting of the Board, following the Hurricane "Hazel" of October 15, 1954, a report was submitted showing the following summary: Total trees uprooted 33 Tree Broken off 12 Buildings damaged 19 Large Branches 28 Trees lost 45 Since January 1954 or prior to the hurricane, the Forestry Division has been removing dangerous trees at an accelerated rate. 1954 237 1955 285 1956 to July 1st —22 A total number of 614 have been removed during this perlbd. A year ago there were 149 trees scheduled for removal by the Forestry crew. July 1st this had been reduced to 53, indicating that the list had been reduced by 100, with routine and dutch elm trees representing the others. As a result of the windstorm of July 1st, the following is reported: Trees uprooted 18 Broken off 31 Buildings Damaged 18 Trees Lost 49 There is an increasing demand by the public for the removal of large street traeF This demand has been induced by the experiences of the past'two wind storms, plus the published reports of changes in the pattern followed by these storms. The City Forester will be directed to make a complete survey of all large trees in the streets, with an evaluation of the condition of these trees. Following the survey a project for the removal will be presented to the Board for consideration For the present, there are two courses open to the Board. First, a continuance of the present policy, with the removal of 250 -300 trees per year. This may be increased because of the recent upgrading of tree trimmer which may stabilize our force. Second, the advertisement on a trial basis for the removal by an outside con-- tractor of 50 trees which have been marked and designated by the Forester. By taking this action the Board will have an excellent yardstick to judge the effi- ciency and economy of the present tree crew.

Between now and then, preliminary plans must be developed, authorization for a bond issue grantid by school district voters, and final plans completed. It is anticipated that both during the period of construction, 195? to 1959, and thereafter, considerable land will be unaffected. tale visualize retaining all of the land north of Rosemary Lane for athletic and recreation purposes. 1-1e do not contemplate erecting any school structures or permanent installations in the no:q area. In view of the above, it is fairly certain that we can plan on continuing to offer the use of all that portion of the site commonly known as the Bergholtz Tract for recreational purposes in conjunction with Youth Bureau projects, Kiwanis Baseball League, and other community programs. It would be assumed that gardening in the area might be discontinued after the current season so that other portions of the Bergholtz Tract can be developed for use as playing fields. In general, even though a high school will occupy'3everal acres of the land adjacent to Fall Creek, we can assure the community that the area available for recreation will be unimpaired and possibly increased by the development of what is now garden areas or undeveloped land.

Green St. parking lot and inquired if the owners thereof had submitted a price.

After a lengthy dis- cussion, it was agreed that the City Attorney request the owners thereof to submit a statement outlining their position in respect to such property. AIRPORT LEASE: Comm.

Mr. T.K. Powers and Mr. Michael R. Hanna appeared before the Board and reviewed the need for water service at the airport and explained that the Board of Directors of Mohawk Airlines is ex= petted to meet tomorrow for the purpose of arriving at a decision as to where its future headquarters will be located. They predicted that the Board's assurance that a city water supply is available will be a very important factor in the decision since Oneida County has already assured Mohawk that a water supply will be available to them at its location withoutcost to Mohawk. Mr. Powers suggested that the air- port might be included in a Northeast Town of Ithaca eater District now in the pro- cess of formation or that the City might contract directly with Tompkins County for such water service. Mr. Hanna commended the Tompkins County Bd. of Supervisors for protecting the economy of this community by acquiring the airport and urged favor- able action by the Board regarding a water supply as being really an important fac- tor in tomorrow's decision. A lengthy discussion ensued during which it was generally agreed that the City should make water available but it was recognized that mutual satisfactory arrange- ments must remain to be worked out later between the City, Village of Cayuga Heights, and the Northeast Town of Ithaca Water District for the laying of mains and instal- lation of other equipment to deliver water to the airport site.

Seneca and N. Geneva Sts. but that he had advised he would be-out of the City at this time. He then reviewed action taken by the Common Council in Special session or Oct.23rd, regarding this matter and presented a resolution which was acted upon as follows: By Comm. Saperstone: seconded by Comm. '*n. Egan WHEREAS, the Board of Public Works in session duly assembled this 24th day of October, 1956, having heretofore in regular session unanimously expressed their disapproval and objection to the erection of a g�Lsolir_e Service Station at the Corner of W. Seneca and N. Geneva Streets it the City of Ithaca, N.Y. and 14HEREAS, the Common Council it special session on the evening of October 23, 1956 unanimously expressed their moral disapproval of erection of such a station, and WHEPEAS, we the members of the Board of Public Works are of the_ opinion and be- lief that the erection of a gasoline service station at the N1.7% Corner of � ^l. Seneca and N. Geneva Streets will be against the Public 14elfare, interfere with dignified worship in the Churches and will above all else imperil the lives and safety of our me-, women and particularly Ithaca's school children, NOW BE IT THEREFORE RESOLVED, that the Board of Public Works sign and file ar Appeal to the Building Commissioner and the Board of Zoning Appeals of the City of Ithaca, New York appealing from the permission granted and issued to erect such gasoline service station and denying to the Tidewater Oil Co. the right to erect such station at such location. Carried. s - 3 - October. 24, 1956 Comm. Saperstone then presented and read a prepared form of appeal in this matter for members of the Board to sign and file with the Board of Zoning Appeals. iJr. Harold Simpson, Attorney for Tidewater Oil Co., reviewed his client's position in this matter and explained that they had acted in good faith, applied for and re- ceived all necessary permits required by law, and having done so entered into a valid lease with Mr. VanLent Tor a fifteen year period. He stated that he doubted whether the Board has any grievance in this matter and also doubted whether this Board has the right to initiate such an appeal, Comm. Miller refused to sign the appeal until he is satisfied that the Board has the right to make it and until he knows on what grounds the appeal is based. He stated that he did not vote either for or against the resolution. Attorney Lee advised that the appeal does not have to be signed but that before approving such action the Board should have sought legal advise. He stated that he could forsee the possibility of a lengthy expensive litigation_ suit in this matter and-oarred against hasty actior. Comm. .Miller requested the Mayor to call for a roll call vote on the resolution. A discussion ensued as to the right to revote or a resolution already recorded carried and Attorney Lee advised that it could be done only if agreed to by those who voted in the affirmative. In answer to a query by Comm. V-7m. Egan as to how his client may react to the public opinion built up in_opposition to its gasoline station, Mr. Simpson advised that he was not it a position_ to answer but again called attention to the 15 -.year lease entered into, with no escape clause, negotiated in good faith and said that he doubted very much if his client could afford to pay rent for such a period without resorting to litigation. He stated that his client has good relations with Churches in other cities and cited some of them as being of the opinion that a well regu- lated gasoline station at a busy corner is preferable to ar obstructed corner from a safety angle. Attorney Lee stated that the matter is now subject to a legal rulirp as to whether or not the resolution is a legal ore and he reserved his opinion in this matter at this time. Commissioner Miller reaffirmed his stand. Comm. Decker commended the City Attorney for his stand, and urged caution pending receipt of a legal ruling from him. He then stated that he had neither voted for or against the resolution authorizing the appeal and asked to be so recorded at this time. On motion the meeting was adjourned. i Geo. A.

Geneva Sts. He issued the following statement: "Before we get started on+ ary discussion today regarding the proposed gasstatior at the eorner.of Geneva and Seneca Sts., I would like to state that I an still of the same opinio^ I had when this whole business started. There was ro banis for stopping en oil company from building a gas station+ at that location. We certainly don't want to got involved in anything thAt may cost_. the City thousands of dollars. I am sure_,this Board does not wart that, and '"either do the people who sired the petitiora. I doubt, very much if Morsignor Byrre himself wishes to pursue this to the_ point where it could be a very costly expense to the City and the taxpayers, ra"y of whom, signed the petitions tompest the Tidewater Oil Co. to reconsider building across from a church. The whole unfortunate situation could have been_ avoided if the- Zoning Ordinance had not beer changed 1".1950. _.Z,think the majority of us want to keep this a non - political and ron- personal issue. The majority Wants to-be on the safe side as far as involving the City . firarcially, at least I do. I say let us leave it up to the 011 Company to decide whether it is in their. best trterests to go ahead with this business proposition." Conan.

Carried. PARKING &i HORIM Comm. Saperstone called attention to the loss of an estimated 250 parking spaces as a result of the construction of the Tuning Fork and deplored lack of action by the City over the past two years to provide any additional off - street parking to offset this loss. He called attention to the increase in parking rates in the business district in the past year which was authorized with the under- standing that increased meter revenues would be used for additional off - street park- ing areas. He advocated and strongly urged that immediate steps be taken to estab- lish a Parking Authority, similar to one functioning in White Plains, N.Y. He re- commended a five - member authority to include a banker, realtor, engineer, and two business men. He urged the Mayor to bring this matter to the attention of the Common Council for prompt attention. W TFP & SV�IF�R. S_MiTIC -,TMKI,NS COUNTY AIRPOFT SITE: Commissioner Saperstone renewed his plea for a cooperative plan by the City, Village of Cayuga Hgts., and Bd. of Supervisors for the extension of water and sewer service to an area in the Northeast Town of Ithaca Water District adjacent to and comprising the Tompkins County Airport. He stated that he had again been approached by a nationally known firm for a site to establish a research laboratory in this area as a part of the firm's decentralization program, providdd that water and sewer services are made available. He anticipated that such a proposal would be received by the Mayor within the next week or ten days and urged that steps betaken immediately to make these services available. He was advised by Comm. Miller that sewer service will have to be obtained through the Cayuga Heights Village system and that the City has already been committed to furnish water service. Comm. Saperstone urged the Mayor to bring this matter to the attention of the 3d. of Supervisors. On motion the meeting was adjourned. Geo. A. Blean City Clerk n BOARD OF PUBLIC WORKS PROCEEDINGS CITY OF ITHACA, N.Y. Regular Meeting 4:30 p.m. , Dec. 26, 1956 PRESENT: Mayor - Ryan ?' Commissioners - Saperstone, Bradford, Decker, Miller, I*n. M. Egan, F.W. Egan Attorney - Clynes Supt. of Public Works - Laverty Asst. to Supt. - Rich Junior Engr. - Melchen Forester - Baker Deputy Clerk - Sinsabaugh Clerk - Blean Mayor Ryan welcomed Mr. Seville Reulein to the meeting as his choice for appoint- ment to the Board to succeed Mr. Saperstone, effective Jan. 1, 1957• =TES: Minutes of the preceding meeting were duly approved. G.L.F.-FOOTBRIDGE: The Clerk read a letter from G.L.F. requesting a renewal of liability insurance certificate if the footbridge at the south end of S. Tioga Street is to be used by the public after Jan. 1, 1957. The Clerk explained that permission had been granted to the City for the public use of this footbridge during the period of construction of the new >. Aurora Street bridge with the understand- ing that public liability insurance thereon be carried by the city during the period of such public use. By Comm. Decker: seconded by Comm. Saperstone RESOLVED, that this matter be referred to the Creeks & Bridges Committee for study and report. Carried. WATER SERVICE --CHARLES ADBOTT: The Clerk read a letter from Attorney Edward P. Abbott requesting special consideration of the Board's rules concerning water service as it affects a house being built by Charles Abbott on Fallview Road. Mr. Abbott requested that water be supplied to him through the same line now servicing Ernest Egbert's house on this street for the following reasons: a. The existing service runs within four feet of his house. b. Cost of running another line from Trumansburg Road would be exorbitant c. The pipe runs near a temporary private road which is to be changed at some future date. This change will ultimately require a change in the location of the present line and, hence, to suffer the expenses of a new line now, only to change the same in the future is too costly and unreasonable. d. Mr. Egbert has given his consent to such use and both parties have agreed to a joint maintenance of said service. He requested early action on this matter since the construction of the Abbott house is well under way. By Comm. Mili-W; : seconded by Comm. Decker RESOLVED, that the request be referred to the I °rater & Sewer Committee for study and report. Carried. N.Y. T&EPi,�ONE CO. MANHOLES: The Clerk read a letter from N.Y.Telephone Co. re- questing permission to enlarge three manholes located on State Street, the work thereon to be done within the next thirty days. By Comm. Wm. Egan: seconded by Comm. Miller R7�SOLVED, that the request be referred to the Highway Committee for study and report. Carried. !gF -STMT PARK : Attorney Clynes reported that he, together with Attorney Dahmen, had met with Attorneys for the owners of the three properties at the corner of Aurora & Seneca Streets and had made a compromise offer on behalf of the City as authorized by the Board of Public Works as a committee of the whole. He advised that neither a refusal yor acceptance of their offer had been received as yet. Comm. Saperstone recommended that if the offer is not accepted, the city discontinue further attempts to acquire these properties and look elsewhere for a substitute. Comm. Miller suggested delay pending an answer to the offer made. No further action was taken at this time. -1 w W W W w w W W w W W W W W W w w w w w w -3 CT CT O\ C\ O\ ON NCO 0 0 0 0 ON FF-�+ 0 G O O U Co —3 O\ VZ �" O t-' O OD CT V1 �" W N �o iv 110 N •• •• f 1 t i l► t► t i t! i! 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 � `3] r� • 0 H cnc�x�ti'�� C• O O O (J N• ,''S' O 0 O r� (J (D W � }�• ti F i tD r� s�� i� C� � • O C�J H ti c+ N O O F 5 : P- n C+ C+ F-' F-3 c+ ct- cf- c+ 0 L!1 C+ W C rip w O C�J C1, 1 y c+ CJ O C` � P. 0 0 (D O � -3Ir #1 FS m GaaI� n "On��K a�t�I� s✓ �J 1 P.

He requested authority to make this expenditure. By Comm. Saperstone: seconded by Comm. tern, Egan FESOLVED; that the expenditure of an amo"t not to exceed $300. be authorized to cover the cost of a preliminary survey f or.water and sewer service to the Tompkins County airport area.

BIDS - CHEMICALS: Comm. Miller reported that the Water & Sewer Committee recommends award of contracts to the respective low bidders for sulphate of alumina, hydrated lime, liquid chlorine and soda ash. In the case of sulphur dioxide, he recommended that it be warded to the present supplier, Virginia Smelting Co., since only two bids on this item were received and were identical. Action was taken as follows: By Comm. Muller: seconded by Comm.

AYES: 6 NAYS: 0 Carried and approved. AUDIT: By Comm. Bradford: seconded by Comm. Ivan. Egan RESOLVED, that the bills approved and audited by the Finance Committee be and they hereby are approved and ordered paid; and that the bills receivable be approved and ordered rendered. Carried. RTSJWAY - TUNING FORK: Once again Comm. Saperstone deplored the lack of an account- ing by the State of the costs of the rights -of -way acquired for the Tuning Fork. He urged that an accounting be secured and published as an obligation due the taxpayers of the City. Attorney Clynes advised that he had been informed by our former City Attorney, D.B. Lee, that State officials have given assurance that such an account- ing will be forthcoming as soon as it is available for release. GASOLINE STATIONS: Comm. Saperstone commended the Council for action taken recently to amend the Zoning Ordinance governing the location of gasoline stations but se- verely criticized action taken at the same time recommending to the Board of Zoning Appeals that a variance be granted from the amendment, if requested, for the Roth - schilds' property located at 327 -331 E. State Street. He termed this a special privilege and insisted it was unfair and unjust. He alleged that statements made by Attorney Dahmen on behalf of the owners of this piece of property were misleading. He stated that this property had been on the market for sale as late as Sept. 1956, and exhibited the following copy of correspondence between R.P. Driscoll and James Rothschild to substantiate this: Sept. 4, 1956 James Rothschild 155 -158 E. State St. Ithaca, N.Y. Dear Jim: Following up our conversation of August 28th, regarding the property in the three hundred block of E. State St. in Ithaca, N.Y. December 26, 1956 x Together with my architect I have made a thorough examination of the garage building on the property. To convert this building to my needs would involve a very considerable amount of time and money. I believe your asking price is more than the'true value of the property. I offer to purchase the four pieces of land and the building thereon for the sum of fifty thousand dollars ($50,000.00) which I believe to be a fair price for the property under consideration. Payment to be made in December 1956• Trusting this offer will receive your favorable consideration, I am Cordially yours R.P. Driscoll Notes appended to the letter indicated that Mr. James Rothschild and Mr. Leon Rothschild, in a conference with Mr. Driscoll held on Sept. 6th, had reduced their asking price to `55,000 with a substantial down payment required, that Mr. Driscoll had refused to pay 155,000 and then withdrew his offer contained in his letter of Sept. 4th. PARKING AUTHORITY: Comm. Saperstone once again recommended that the establishment of a parking authority be given serious consideration. He predicted that such an authority, if properly set up, would eliminate the grief, headaches and political pressures against the Board, Council and the administration, would be self-liquid- ating and save the city thousands of dollars in acquisition of land for future de- velopment of central parking lots. TERM OF OFFICE OF BOARD &hBERS: Comm. Saperstone recommended that any Board member appointed to fill an unexpired term and who has served two years or more in such capacity be ruled ineligible to succeed himself for a period of one year. He called attention to the present provisions whereby a member filling an unexpired term may succeed himself for a regular 6 -year term thus making it possible for him to serve as a member continuously for a period of ll years plus. He recommended that a Charter change in this respect be considered. Comm. Saperstone stated that his efforts while a member of the Board had always been made in the best interests of the city. He expressed his hope that he had contributed something worthwhile during his term and concluded by wishing good luck, good government and a good new year to the Mayor, Board members and others in the administration. In acknowledgement, Mayor Ryan made the following remarks: "At this time I would like to thank Mr. Saperstone for all the fine work he has done as a member of the Board of Public Works for the past six years. I feel you have been a very valuable man on the Board and it has been good for the city to have someone like you serving on such an important Board. During those six ,years, you have given a lot of your time to city affairs. I know that I am speaking for a lot of people when I say that you have always done what you thought was in the best interests of the city. I don't have to ask you if you would be willing to serve the city in some capacity in the future. I know that you would always be ready to say "yes" to this. Thank you again and good luck to you, Dave. We are having a testimonial prepared which will be signed by all the members of the Board. This will be presented at a later date."
