LEON H. CASS - LEAVE OF ABSENCE: The Clerk read the request of Engineer Cass for a three months leave of absence, which was presented at the Jan. 9th meeting. Comm. Bradford asked for a legal opinion from the City Attorney. Mr. Clynes advised that Section 92 of the General Municipal Law provides that the governing body of a muni- cipality may grant a leave of absence to its officers or employees with or without pair, and that the final decision therefore must be made by the Common Council. The members of the Board recognized the splendid service rendered to the City by Mr. Cass over a long period of time and agreed that his request merited special consideration, and it was acted upon as follows: By Comm. Wm. Egan: seconded by Comm. Miller 1AHEFEA,S, a request for a three - months leave of absence has been received from Leon H.

Egan RESOLVED, that the Mayor and City Clerk be authorized to execute this release on be- half of the City. Carried. BOARD MEETINGS: Mayor Kyan presented the following statement Trith recommendations regarding Board meetings as follows: "This next order of business is to see if Ure can get these Board of Public Tdorks „t meetings out from behind the "Paper Curtain" of secrecy as the Ithaca Journal quoted in -a front page story 1Jednesday. I think all meetings should be out in the open before the Press and Public. _. You have all read about the changes that I have suggested, therefore, I will not take the time to react it again. The principal recommendations are: F 1. Holding the meetings with the whole Board acting as a committee. 2. Schedule the meetings once a month 7 -rith special meetings if necessary. 3. Schedule the meetings at 7:30 in,�the evening. 4. AlloT,r the meetings to be broadcast if the radio stations request it. Pt one time, they asked for this privilege but I don't knol,,T if they are still in- terested in this. ,Te have all been criticized because -of our last two cut and dried twenty minute meetings. I don't believe in lengthy meetings out �,re should discuss some issues briefly and spend more time. The Board should ask questions. :-r. Laverty should answer them. The Board should make the decisions. L 2 .. Jan. 31, 1957 IIli I have already told hr. Laverty and you Board members that certain people have remarked thet 'rr. Laverty is the Board of Public Works and makes most of the de- cisions. I am not in a position to say whether that is correct or not. I am not saying this to embarrass anyone. Mr. Laverty, himself, asked me to repeat this statement at this meeting." Comm. Wm. Egan took exception to the criticism that Mr. Laverty is the Board and asserted that Committees always make the decisions. Comm. 3radford concurred and stated that Mr. Laverty is very valuable to the Committees but has never tried to influence any of their decisions. Comm. Decker concurred and stated that he felt Hr. Laverty would be lax if he did not offer all possible help to the Committees and that he should not be criticized for doing so. Comm. Miller concurred and stated that he felt it was very discouraging and distressing to see the Board criticized for handling its affairs in what he termed an orderly, business like manner. Comm. Bradford point.sd out that all committee meetings are open to the public and Comm. Miller agreed and suggested that all Board members are welcome to attend such meet- ings but he warned that it would be a mistake to abolish the Committee system. Comm. Decker resented criticism leveled at Board members who serve the City during their spare time to the best of their ability. The suggestion that the Board meet once a month was considered impractical, due to the number of problems coming to its attention requiring study and prompt action. The practice of auditing bills twice a month to permit their being paid within the discount period was considered necessary. On the matter of broadcasting the meetings, it was agreed to consider this if and when such a request is presented. The matter of holding the meetings in the evening was discussed, but the majority of the members favored the present practice of meeting at 4:30. It was felt that the public is not any more apt to attend evening than afternoon meetings. On motion the meeting was adjourned. Geo. A.

This world run from Tioga St. to Aurora St. I might add that at the time I had proposed it that there were many, favorable comments from the public. Motorists coming East on Green St.Tprould be able to use this new street and make a right turn on Aurora to proceed up South Hill thereby eliminating some of the traffic congestion at State and Tioga Sts. 'Te should be looking ahead and working fast because of the expected increase in the num'Der of cars in the next few .years.

The motion was therefore withdrawn. By Comm. F.'�. Egan: seconded by Comm. '1m.

OFF - STREET PARKING: Mayor Ryan presented the following statement on the subject of off - street parking: "I have been requested to appoint a committee to study the possibility of creating some neighborhood off - street, parking lots. I expect to do this but I firmly believe we should first complete our program of establishing parking lots to insure the retaining and grot.rth of our business section. We know that parking lots in the business section T�till pay for themselves. You are now considering the lot in the rear of the Ithaca Hotel. At this time I would like to propose that you also consider the acquisition of property, providing the price is right, in the 100 block of W. Seneca St. which would include the Congregational Church and adjoining property. Members of the Church recently came to me to see if the city would be interested in buying this property. I believe that the development of these lots would take care of our parking needs for the business section for the next few years or until more business moves west on Seneca and Green St. The City of Corning recently voted to spend `,':4,25,000 to carry out the off-street parking program. Three small lots near the business section have been developed at a cost of :217,000 leaving a balance of ?208,000. We can make these lots pay for themselves at no cost to the taxpayers. `,,Te should set this up in one borrowing fund to be known as the Business Section Parking Lot Fund. 1 !e already have the promise of a loan of X180,000 for the Seneca and Aurora St. property. The money to develop the lot in the rear of Ithaca Hotel could be borrowed and added to the other loan. The loan to acquire the property in the 100 block of W. Seneca St. also could 'ae added to the other loans. This can and should be done now in one package deal. The Fire Station and City Hall an,. the development of the street in the rear of the Hotel could come from an entirely separate fund, probably the General Fund. All revenue from these lots and street parking •yould go into one fund. The present payment of $72,000 could continue to go to the General Fund. v1e should consider the possibility of collecting from these lots at night as well as in the daytime. In neighboring cities the meters collect a quarter for three hours. Here, those wanting to attend the movies would glad y, pay a quarter to nark and not have to T ^rorry about parking in the rear of business places such as the Ithac Journal, the Moose, etc. Also those staying in a hotel at night would gladly pay their three quarters 050 for all night parking." By Comm. Miller: seconded by Comm. F.J. Egan RESOLVED, that the Mayor's recommendations in this matter be referred to the Capital Improvement, Traffic & Parking Committee for study and report.

IV —RULES GOVERNING INSTALLATION AND OPERATION OF AIR CONDITIONING AND REFRIGERATION EQUIPMENT Whereas the operation of water cooled refrigeration and other equipment for changing the dry bulb tem- perature or the humidity of air has rapidly increased and now involves the use of water in quantities never before anticipated, thereby placing unexpected bur- dens on the public water supply system which are detrimental to other classes of water service. And Whereas, in the interest of the public and its water supply system, it is necessary to regulate the use of water for such purposes and to require conservation of water and the elimination of waste, Now, therefore be it resolved that the following reg- ulations shall apply to all water - cooled equipment in- stalled for the purpose of reducing the dry bulb tem- perature or decreasing the absolute humidity of air, whether for comfort air conditioning, refrigeration, processing or whatever other purposes. 40. Definitions For the purpose of these regulations, the following terms shall have, and shall be construed to have, the following meanings: (a) The term "air conditioning system and "Re- frigeration" system shall include any combination of equipment, whether compressor or other type, by -20- which heat is removed from the air and from which the accumulated or effluent heat is wholly or partial- ly removed by the use of water. (b) "Air Conditioning System" shall mean an in- staIlation for maintenance, by heat removal, of tem- peratures which are not less than 60° F. (c) "Refrigeration System" shall mean an installa- tion for maintenance, by heat removal of temperatures which are less than 60° F. (d) "System" shall mean any combination of ap- paratus, individual unit, group or collection of units supplied with water through any single customer serv- ice pipe connected to the public water system. (e) "Person" shall mean and include a natural person, partnership, corporation or association. When- ever used with respect to any penalty, the term "per- son" as applied to partnerships or associations, shall mean the partners or members thereof, and as applied to corporations, the officers thereof. (f) For the purposes of these regulations, in no event shall the rated capacity in tons be considered less than the following: 1. Total maximum B.T.U. per hour of capacity on the installation divided by 12,000, or 2. The name -plate horsepower of any compressor prime mover unit, for any air - conditioning instal- lation or 3. Two - thirds the name -plate horsepower of (2) above for any refrigeration installation. 41. Permit Required No person shall install, operate or use any equip- ment for air conditioning or refrigeration which re- quires a supply of water from the system of the City of Ithaca without first having procured written permit therefore from the office of the Water and Sewer Di- vision. 42.

Stearns, Consulting Engineer of Cazenovia, N.Y. has submitted a complete report on the Sewerage System and sewage treatment facilities for the City of Ithaca to the Board of Public Works. The report includes a study of all existing reports made to the Board, and includes a proposed five year construction program and construction estimates for each year. Also included in the report were modernized standards for sewage, which have already been incorporated into the Rules and Regulations of the Board. The Proposed Five Year Construction program outlined by Xr. Stearns is as follows: 1st Year Plain -Green Interceptor $160,350 Cayuga St. Interceptor 33,810 Additional Settling Tank at Treatment Plant 46.250 TOTAL $2409410 2nd Year Sewage Treatment Plant Secondary treatment units 705,750 3rd Year One million gallon water tank $a 63,000 East State St. Interceptor 116.200_ TOTAL 179,200 4th Year West Hill Interceptor 78,820 South Hill Interceptor 26,570 T ^rater Treatment Plant (Additions to 2 Filters) 48.000 TOTAL $153,390 5th Year Hector Street Sewer 33,240 Linn Street Sewer 6,805 ?Millard r:ray 6,310 Columbia Street 9,600 South Hill Terrace Sewer 7,585 Buffalo Street Sewer 7,800 Thurston Ave. Sewer 3,360 Stewart Avenue Sewer 2.700 TOTAL ?7?,..400 TOTAL COST $1,356,150 Attention is called to the fact that two principal items of construction are included in the above total which are not strictly pertinent to the sewer system. These are `111,000 for improvements to the water system, recommended by the National Board of Fire Underwriters, and >751,000 for additions to the sewage treatment plant which will be made mandatory by the State when the Lake is classified by the '.'ater Pollution Control Board. The Consulting Engineer, also included a rate schedule, which would permit the financing of the construction program. The Board of Public Works has had -several meetings on this program, and realizes that the interceptor along Green St., must be built in advance of the State construc- tion of Green St. as an arterial highway. Ds yet, the Board has not reached any definite conclusions concerning the complete implementation of these needed improve- ment s.

BRIDGE REPOT: The following report n three of the City's bridges was presented by Engineer Cass: Present Conditions - Narrow 16' roadwa. aiith right angle turn at Crest end. Concrete deck, apparently non- reinf., poured over steel buckle plates. This concrete now disentegrating at the edges. Steel beams are 20" - 381+ long spaced 'u= 3' +. Desired - Add two more beams on east side and one beam on the west side. Abutment lengths are adequate. Remove present concrete floor and lay new reinf. conc. floor. Proposed - That this work be done by pity forces under the 1958 budget. Present Condition - Very poor. One-My bridge with the east end mainly supported by a single timber bent founded or bec rock. New plans are available for an en- tirely relocated bridge structure usirg the salvaged structural steel framework from the S. Aurora St. bridge togethel with an I -beam approach span at each end. Proposed - These plans to be reviewed and estimates and 'contract documents pre- pared this winter. Bids should be taken for contract construction of this bridge about April, 1958 to allow the contractor to work in the VanAttas pond area during the dry, warm summer months with construction of concrete piers and abutments. Present Condition - 70' span, 20' roadway, Condition rated as bad to poor generally. Concrete sidewalks are disentegrating Steel angles and plates in the sidewalk b_ ^ackets have rusted excessively and should have immediate attention with steel emplacement where necessary and weldir g repairs otherwise. 1+ �­Leral Comment - A new 2 -span bridge design is available for this bridge. Design al:d plans by Iviodjeski & Masters. The r estimate of cost in 1944 = $25,890. Revised estimate of cost on current prices = .65,000. The Cap. Res. Acct. No. 4 is probably ilzadequate to build both Giles St. an this bridge. P-m o ed - Assuming that a new bridge nears, I suggest that the sidewalks b4 gether with whatever steel repairs are a ^e removed. I believe adequate fund: i3 found when the steel is exposed. Py Comm. F.W. Egan: seconded by Comm RESOLVED, that the report of the City be accepted. structure here is not likely in the next five replaced this year out of current budget to- found necessary after the concrete sidewalks are available unless a more serious condition Reulein Engineer concerning the Giles Street Bridge Carried.

Carried. WATER & S_E',T4M RATES: Comm. f iller p esented and reviewed a schedule of water and sewer rates which he explained w s the result of a careful study by the City's consulting engineer. This adjustment in water rates 901,4, of the users in 37 years. The p neu rate is still no greater than wa with similar problems. the first change to effect more than ent rates were adopted in 1920. The rates in cities of comparable size, Since that time under the existing rates, the water department has taken over the cost of operating the sanitary sewers, sewage treatment plant and sewer division. Furthermore, the water department makes a contribution of ill ,000 per year to the general fund 'lith the need for modernization of the sanitary sewers and the sewage treatment plant at an approximate cot of ")1,300,000 as shox•m in the reports by Consulting Engineer, Donald 7. Stearns, dated I'larch 19, 10,57 and detailed rate study dated May 29, 1957, both of which are submitted herewith to become a part of the records of the Board, this rate change becomes necessary. He advised that the Wgter & Seti,Yer Co mittee recommends adoption of these new rates and that the construction program be spread over approximately ten years with the definite understanding that the mw rates be reconsidered Tjhen the proposed construction is completed. By Comm. J,.iller: seconded by Comm. -!m. rgan RESOLVED, that pursuant to section 1.8 of the City Charter, the following cater and sewer rates be and hereby re approved and adopted to become effective Jan. 1, 1958: ?d RATE (Inside City) Minimum Uharge per quarter Size Meter Cu.

Comm. Ziller then reported that subsequent to the receipt of the Consulting Engineerts reports the possibility of receiving a federal grant of up to $2509000.00 becomes apparent. If such a grant is received, the length of time these new rates would need to be in effect could be reduced as much as two years. He recommended that a meeting with the Common Council be requested to discuss the federal grant and the financing of the program. By Comm. i; ller: seconded by Comm. 1,1m. Egan RESOLVED, that the Board request a meeting with the Common Council or its appropriate Committee to discuss the federal grant and the financing of the sewer construction program. Carried. For reports referred to see City Clerk's Permanent File ,''° 1016 The following comments were then presented by Comm. Niller (1) of the $1,360,000. total construction recommended by the consulting Engineerg 110,000 is for water improvements recommended by the �\Tational Board Fire UndenTriters in the report of October 1956. 760,000 is for sewage treatment plant improvements that ti7ill enable the City to meet the standards for sewage treatment that will be required to comply' ,Tith the i\T.Y. State pollution abatment and control program. 490,000 is for modernization and improvement of the general sewer system most of T "Yhich Teas constructed in 1895 and 96, 60 years ago, the bulk of this amount being for the construction of new main trunkline intercepting sewers that will relieve many overloaded smaller mains. (2) The consulting engineers recommended a time table of five years, however, in the discussions of the Board it developed that a ten year program would adapt itself better to a combination of temporary borrowing and pay as you go and the rate schedule outlined has been dratim up on that basis. (3) As mentioned previously the federal grant if obtained, could cut the ten year program by perhaps two years but we must take steps as soon as possible to have the improvements to the sewage treatment plant and the Plain and Cayuga Street interceptors under construction by July 1st. 1959 to insure eligibility for this aid. (4) The Green Street interceptor is programmed for 1958 to be ahead of the Seneca -Green Street arterial construction which TTe have been assured by tine state is imminent. Present status of 'later and Sewer Operation is practically on a break even oasis. Anyone interested can verify this by reviewing the Dept. of -Public TTorks annual report. In 1956 the T"Tater and Serer Dept. increased its cash balance $1319045 " inventory 1918.78 ;4638.23 During the same year Construction and Improvement fund wns reduced by ",2160.00 :equipment reserve fund " o3 n0.0o $_5160.00 the deficit being 1522.00 75 -14 -- There presently are no reserve funds currently available to replace equipment or to finance an emergency such as cccured in 1948 when the main gravity supply,* line was taken out by a landslide. This year the Common Council has already been requested for authority for temporary borroTCing for the 'eater a d Sewer Department. It's obvious that under the present rates and financial condition of the ?-rater and sewer department the proposed c struction program cannot be Financed by anyother means. In (5) Regarding the proposed rate schedule, these are the two facts. A. Tith over W,') of the constructs n program affecting sewers the recommended rate will place the bulk of the increase just where it belongs -on sewer service. Further it will bring the proportion of water and sewer charges to the total rate into present day prospective. 3. The actual proposed water rate or at least 9 4� of tile city consumers is considerably less than the 1920 rat . In the Engineers report the average consumer used 3600 CF /Qtr. I shall use this figure as a comparison. In 1920, 3600CF of *.cater alone most the consumer 9.70 and 500 meter charge = 10.20 per quarter. He paid his sew r charge in the form of a portion of general taxes. In 1940, by Charter change the seT-Ter{s were placed under the ?eater department , suprorted by the water revenues, at t o incr.Pase in water rates_ In 1947, water rates were increased '4 his involved approximately 10,`:. of rates in line with recommendations engineers. o consumers using over 5000 CF/Otr. e water consumers and brought those de by Greeley and Ha'13en, Consulting In. 1952, with the adoption of the S wer Rental Law, the basic 1947 rate schedule ,T pas mGintained and the charges for. ater and sewer service anyortioned within that schedule. Under the proposed rate schedule, t e 3600 CF/()tr. the consumer would pay for water $3.00 for sew r x:2,04 $5.04 5.04 -i.60 8.64 $8.04 +5.64 $13.68 his total water and sewer rate is about 3y/', over the 1920 rate for water alone but the-actual cost of water service is about 22;j' less than in 1920, the difference being the cost of serer service. I would caution those who wish to c with those of neighboring cities to souhceof supply, degree of treatmen system for =rater, size of collectio, together with the condition and age sewer. If one bothers to include t'. I am sure that these proposed rates mpare the proposed water and seti"rer rates make sure that the systems are comparable - method of distribution and size of the system and degree of treatment for sewer of the systems applying both to water and ese important factors into their analysis, *ill compare favorably. Finally, even though I feel that water and seT.Ter service -rill still be a bargain 1nder the proposed rate schedules. I strongly urge the Board in adopting this rate schedule, to co it itself to a rate study and reappra_srl of the City ? ^'ater and Sewer System dn the light of conditions existing at the time when the proposed construction program is complete or substantially completed say in, 8 or 10 gears wit goal of revising the rates downward. �APKPTG �- TF'R PLATES: By Cora,.

Laverty reviewed action taken by the :3oard on Sept. 30, 1957 requesting the State Dept. of Public 'Jorks to make Seneca and Green Streets section of the arterial plan in the City only 40 feet wide in the belief that such action would save a large number of the shade trees that otherwise would have to be removed. On advice of a Forester from the State Department it now appears that only 29 out of a total of 157 will remain *,rith a 40 foot width and he therefore requested authority to confer with State representatives regarding the removal of all...trees and the possibility of•rcfturning to the original plan of making both streets 44 feet wide. It was indicated, he reported, that if all the trees are removed the State will include in its contract a complete landscaping program for both streets at a width of 40 feet. Comm. Decker ?urged forfeit of the remaining 29 trees in the interest of wader streets. After a lengthy discussion on the relative value of shade trees as compared with that of wider streets action was taken as follows: By Comm. Decker: seconded by Comm. Reulein RESOLVED, that the Board does hereby approve the removal of all trees on Seneca and Green Streets westerly to their intersection with Meadow Street. Carried. By Comm. Decker: seconded by Comm. Reulein RESOLVED, that the Superintendent be authorized to negotiate with the N.Y. State 'r Dept„ bf Public Works concerning the construction of both streets at their original width of 44 feet; and that he request the State to submit a complete landscaping plan to include the replanting of trees deemed suitable for the resulting 4'.' grass strips between sidewalk and curb on these two streets. Carried.

He explained that the lease with AT.Y.S. Electric & Gas Corp. for the area in question will expire at the end of December. Comm. hiller recommended that cost estimates to accomplish this be prepared. By Comm. Reulein: seconded by Comm. Decker RESOLVED, that the matter be referred back to the Capital Improvements, Parking & Traffic Committee for further consideration; and that the Clerk be directed to notify N.Y.S. Electric & Gas Corp. of the actions concerning the renewal of its lease of this property; and advise said corporation that its lease will be considered to be on a month -to -month basis for the present to be prorated at $750.00 per annum for such time as it may be permitted to continue to crcupy said area.
