This occuring during a period of general building boom in the greater Ithaca area, indicates that a reappraisal of the B.P.W. rules and regulations regarding subdivisions is "in order at this time. ;, reexamination of these rules should be made with an eye towards the promotion of residential construction within the city and its obvious benefit of putting more valuable real estate on the City tax rolls, as well as other important reasons„ Major undeveloped areas within the City should be studied generally by the City's engineering staff and after consultation with the various property owners involved, make recommendations to the B.P.W. as to what they feel might be done by the City to open up these tracts for develop- ment at the earliest possible time. I therefore recommend to the Board that the Supt. and the City Engr. be directed to make a study with data currently available of any such areas that may be developed, consult with the owners, and recommend to the Board the economical extent to which they feel that the City should participate in these developments rJi.th particular regard to streets, T,*ater, sewer and drainage. A preliminary estimate of the costs should be furnished and any recommendations for changes in the B.P.W. subdivision rules and regulations would also be appropriate at this time. I have spoken briefly with the Supt. and the ngineer and they feel that they could furnish this report at the Boards May 28 meeting, By Comm. Miller: seconded by Comm.

Broad, Commissioner of Health of Tompkins County, stating that it is becoming more and more difficult to find proper and suitable sites in the County for the disposal of septic tank contents, particularly during inclement weather such as experienced last printer. He pointed out that the Health Department had just recently disapproved an active dump site located on the Six File Creek watershed in the vicinity of Brooktondele in order to provide better protection for the watershed and that this action has increased the problem of locating suitable sites. He reported that through the cooperation of i,Ir. Rich, 11�sst. to Supt. of Public ?dorks in charge of the ',later & Sewer Division, arrangements were made for dumping a few tank loads of this material at the inlet sewer at the sewage treatment plant on -a trial basis. This operation appears to offer a solution to part of the problem and the addition of this material to the plant influent did not appear to disrupt the operation of the treatment plant nor did it create any offensive odors in the vicinity. This procedure is recognized and used in many communities throughout the country and provides a small source of revenue for the community. He recommended that the Board give such a proposal its consideration on a full -scale tryout basis for a period of a couple of months to determine if it meets TAth full approval. By Comm. Miller: seconded by Comm. `Jm. Egan RESOLVED, that registered septic tank pumpers in Tompkins County be granted permission to dump such septic tank material at the inlet sewer to the sewage treatment plant, subject to all rules and regulations of the Board applicable thereto, for a 60 -day trial period for a payment of 15.00 per load; and that in the meantime these individuals should look for another disposal location.

To eliminate to a great degree the present trouble in obtaining a tight pipe line and to provide great- er assurance of continued future tight joints be recommended that cement asbestos pipe be substituted for concrete pipe on the remainder of this job after the 307 l.f. of 21" concrete pipe now on the job is used. On the advice of Gordon Wheeler, of Donald E. Stearns staff, he also recommended that class 3300 in the 20" cement asbestos pipe be allowed as a substitute for the original class 2 specification and that class 2400 in the 16" cement asbestos pipe be allowed as a substitute for the original class 1 specification. He advised that substitution of the cement asbestos for the concrete pipe will increase the cost of the job by an estimated $1,322.00 and will be subject to acceptance by the contractor. By Comm.

Yengo: seconded by Comm. F.W.

In support of the request he stated that G.L.F. Exchange is willing to lease the Fairgrounds to the City for one year for the sum of $1.00 and also has indicated its interest in selling it to the city at a reasonable price if it is needed for a recreational area. He stated that if the price is right he definitely felt the City should consider its purchase. It consists of about 43 acres of land and would fill the need for a park with recreational facilities to include a playing field for small -fry activities in that area. Mr. E.E.

Carried. July 17, 1958 Board of Public Works, of the City of Ithaca, New York , Specifications for connecting trailers, in Trailer Courts, to the City of Ithaca Water and Sewer Systems. NOTE: The following definitions shall apply to these specifications: Trailer Court shall mean any plot of ground upon which two or more trailer coaches, occupied for dwelling or sleeping purposes, are located. Trailer Coach shall mean any vehicle used or so constructed as to permit its being used, as a conveyance upon the public streets or highways and duly licensable as such, and constructed in such a manner as will permit occupancy thereof as a dwelling or sleeping place for one or more persons. Dependent Trailer Coach shall mean a trailer coach which does not have a toilet and a bathtub or shower. Independent Trailer Coach shall mean a trailer coach that has a toilet and a bathtub or shower. Trailer -Coach Space shall mean a plot of ground within a trailer court, designated for the accommodation of one trailer coach, Service Building shall mean a building housing toilet facilities for men and women, with slop -water closet and laundry facilities, and with separate bath or shower accommodations. These specifications for Water and Sewer installations for trailers are not in- consistent with, but only implement the Board of Public Works "Rules, Regulations and penalties of the Board of Public Works, City of Ithaca, N.Y., regarding water supply, sewage disposal and air conditioning", and the City of Ithaca Plumbing Code. In all cases both the installation of underground lines and the plumbing in the trailers and buildings must comply with these regulations and code. Water Supply -An individual water connection should be provided at an appropriate location at each trailer -coach space. The connection should consist of a riser terminating at least 4 inches above the ground with a 3//4 -inch valved outlet. Check valves should not be installed on the riser. The outlets should be threaded so that a screwed connection, using copper tubing, may be made from the outlet to the coach's water- piping system. The ground surface around the riser pipe should be graded so as to divert surface drainage away from the connection. (The riser pipe shall be encased in a 6 -inch vitrified -clay pipe, with the intervening space filled with an insulating material to protect it from freezing.) An insulated cover shall be provided which will encase the valve outlet, but not prevent connection to the trailer during freezing weather, When the coach space is unoccupied during cold weather, the outlets should be protected from freezing, either by a heater tape connected to the court's electrical system, or by draining of the pipes. A shut -off valve placed below frost depth on the service line is desirable, but in no instance should this valve be a stop -and -waste cock. ( see sketch ) Page 2 Water Uc Sewer Disposal Requirements - (Cont(d) Sewage Disposal - Plumbing - All plumbing installed is the trailer court should conform to the City of Ithaca Plumbing -Code requirements. Sewage- Disposal Requirements - Each coach space shoull be equipped with at least a -inch sewer connection, trapped below frost line and rcachin €; at least 4- inches above the surface of the ground. The sewer connection should be protected by a concrete collar, at least 3- inches deep and extending 12- inches from the connections in all directions. The sewer connection should be provided with suitable fittings to permit a water -tight junction to x made with the trailer outlet. The connection between the coach drain and the sewer should be watertight. It is desirable that this connector be a flexible hose 3- inches in diameter and 4 to 5 feet in length. In some cases, when the coach drain is on the opposite side of the coach, the connector necessarily will have to be 10 to 15 feet in length. In which case the hose should be graded uniformly from the connection to the trailer. The hose should be equipped with hose couplings at either or both ends. A threaded connection should be made at the sewer, and either a threaded or a fitted and clamped connection at the coach drain. The sower outlet should consist of a 4 -inch quarter -bend or Y, capped with a standard ferrule with a 3 -inch screw plug. The screw pluC should be fastened by chain or other device to the concrete collar surrounding the sewer connection, to prevent its removal from the site while the sewer connection is in use. The threaded hose connection may be connected to the ferrule directly or by use of pipe fittings.

Yours truly, John E. Burton JEB;ms CORNELL UNIVERSITY ITHACA, NEW YORK Vice President Business Mr. Francis J. Laverty Supt. of Public Works City of Ithaca City Hall Ithaca, New York Dear Frank; December 18, 1957 Pursuant to our study of reports about your sewer system as they .relate to the question of the contract between the City and the University and our conversations concerning the matter I wish to confirm my statements of yesterday. 1) The University agrees that when we reach agreement on a new contract the conditions thereof shall be retroactive to January 1, 1958. 2) I am prepared to recommend to the President and the appropriate trustee committees of the University that we establish a new contract on the basis of these principles: a) A minimum annual payment for, say, 300 million gallons predicated upon a rate determined from Water and Sewer Division costs (including joint or overhead costs) properly allocable to the sewer operation and to the disposal of the Uni- versity load. b) The University to pay in addition a share of future debt service that will be incurred in expansion of the treatment plant on the basis of the ratio of the University load to the total. load upon the treatment plant. c) For University volume in excess of 300 million gallons to pay a rate reflecting direct operat- ing costs at the treatment plant. d) The above principles require that adjustments be made for changes in actual costs, for which there are different methods from among which we would want to adopt the simplest and most practicable. 151 — 3 — Aug. 13, 1958 S .

Tompkins St. be approved and that a refund of $97050 to her be approved thereby reducing her bill from 407.58 to $10.08. Carried. CORY'+,'LL UITIV"RSITY - 'MJrR CONTRACT:, W-. J,,B . Burton appeared on behalf of Cornell University and advised that from the contents of a letter dated Aug. 1, 1958 which he had received from Supt. Laverty he cannot recommend the City's proposed sewer charges to the Executive Committee of the University's Board of Trustees as acceptable. He noted the city proposes a basic operating charge of approximately 52¢ per 100 cu. ft. while the University's similar figure is 4z-¢. He suggested a compromise between the two fligres or 5¢ per 100 cu. ft. for the first 40,000,000 cu. ft. plus 21¢ per /cu. ft. over 40,000,000 He then advised that if the T'ater & Sewer Committee's recommendation is adopted at 52¢ the University will have to find a legal method in testing the rates involved. Comm. Yiller pointed out that the City had already compromised by a 1¢ reduction from the figure derived by the City's consulting engineer (61? ¢ per W ouo ft.) and he stated he did not feel any further compromise on the city's part is justified. He then presented and read the following statement and recommendation of the ?rater & Sewer Committee on the subject: The Water and Sesfrer rates were revised by the Board of Public i,Torks effective Jan. 1, 1958 to meet the true costs of this function of government, including new sewer and sewage treatment plant facilities. It was generally recognized that Cornell University, which discharges sewage to the city system to the extent of some 30/ol of the total floT-r, was entitled to a review in establish- ing a new charge to them for seT -aer service. Basic general cost information for providing seT•ter service in Ithaca, furnished by an outside consultant, was studied by all parties and has served generally as the basis of negotiation betTfeen the B.t.T. and Cornell University. Over the past several months, meetings have been held with representatives of the University in an earnest effort to try to reach a mutually agreeable charge for sei,?er service. The committee wishes that they could report that these negotiations were completely successful, but unfortunately at this date, they cannot do so. The committee is glad to state that the negotiations were carried on in good spirit and that there were certain areas of agreement. These were simply stated, that an increase in the operating charges is in order and (2) the University to participate in the construction of additions to the sewage treatment plant on a relative percentage of use basis. Further efforts made toTrard a complete settlement proved fruitless. 152 - 4 - Aug. 13, 1958 Ir view of the fact that there is no apparent mutually satisfactory solutim to the matter of serer charges to Cornell University, the committee makes the following recommendations officially to the Board. This is done with full knowledge of the Mayor, the other members of the Board of Public '-forks and interested members of the Common Council who attended the executive session of the Board of Public TTorks last Monday night. The recommendations are: 1) That the basic operating charge for setrer service to the University as computed to be 5.47¢ p..�r 100 cu. ft, for the year 1958 be levied retroactive to Jan. 1, 1958 . (Also that this computation be made a part of the Board of Public ?Torks lTinutes) 2) That this basic operating charge for set-rer service be recomputed and re- vised annually on or about January lst. to the extent of substituting current costs and current flows and that this computation in the future be officially a part of the annual report of the Depa.rtn:ent of Public ',Torks. 3) That this basic charge be the only charge in effect for sewer service until the completion of the sewage treatment plant additions at which time it will be increased to include Aincrtizatian and interest charges toward a portion of the total cost of the project determined by the percentage of University metered flow to total city metered flow to sewers. 4) The preceeding charges shall be paid quarterly on Jan. 15, April 15, July 15, and Oct. 15, said payments to be based on estimated flow in the case of the April, July and October dates, and corrected to actual flow in the Jan. payment. The committee feels that as a matter of fairness and justice to other users of sewer service, that the city cannot accept rates any lower than those indicated above, By Comm. miller: seconded by Comm, Pickering RESOLUYD, that the report and recommendation of the 'later & Seuer Committee be and hereby is approved and adopted in all respects as presented; and that Cornell university be advised that the Board of Public Works is willing to recd mend an agreement in accordance - ith these conditions. A17,S : 6 'TiY3: 0 Unanimously Carried. As a matter of information, on the basis of this rate and 1957 University Comsumption the basic sewer charge would compute to be approximately .126,800 for the year. It is estimated, depending on final costs and terms of financing, that on a 20 year amortization and interest basis that the average university share toward the treatment plant additions may approximate $12,000 annually bringing the total cost to Cornell to about x138 - 40,000, per year during the period of debt retirement, AUDIT: By Comm.

RFD `TIAGODI: Alderman Stallman inquired regarding the policy on the use and /or rental of the Ted '^lagon to outside agencies. He was informed that the Board had no jurisdiction in the matter. On motion the meeting was adjourned. Goo. A. Blean City Clerk 1 a ' • r ! IV 4TATEHERT OF BOARD POLICY . July 22, 1958 • There are atta ' es, two sheets. The first of these is a revision of the cost of se wa`i+b' oa tion and treatment as developed by Austin in his May 35, 1958 report. The principal item of revision is the exclusion of an estimated $2500. revenue for the Plumbing Inspector. The second sheet is a calculation of the rate to Cornell University, agreeing to the three prinaipel objections raised by the University rep.. resentatives. The only point raised which is not accepted is the suggest. ion made on June 24, 1958 that the service account be included in this calou ,ation. The Board does not• agree to this inclusion, inasmuch. as this account is entirely self supporting, and the exclusion of income for the Pluabing Inspector and the inclusion of this item is not consistent. The Board then is ready to accept the annual payment of $24,250. for sew.. or service on the basis of these computations. in the agreement, the following items should be concidsre3d and catered. 1. Item b, as listed in appendix 2 would be caloulated on a 5 year moving average. initially basad on the last .5 years. 2. The life of the agreement to cover the same length of time as the city bond issue. At the conclusion of this period a more or lees permanent type of agreement can be made. This would provide an annual review and a years cancellation clause. • 3. The basic cost for 400000,000 Cu. ft. is to be refigured annually when the excess volume exceeds 10,000.000 cu. rt. in any two succ=essive, then this quantity (say 50,000,000, or 60,noo,000) will, be used as the new minimum. 4. The City reserves the right to read the meters at the University. R� / Y �._... ' . . , • , ) 1 , . ,. • ! . , , . • . ftrreirvli".• X ! .

The army engineers have made several studies but have maintained that the benefit from such protection could not justify a sizeable expenditure. However, of recent years the development at the Plate has changed the situation, and following the spring of 1956 flood, a review of the damage,_ benefit was favorable and earlier this week the Army Engineers and M.Y. State Flood Commission presented a comphrensive plan to correct and relieve this con- dition. The plan includes the straightening, widening, construction and deepening of channels to convert 20,000 cubic feet of run off to lake Cayuga, regardless of the lake level. I have been informed that this Is the equivalent of the peak 1935 flow. The cost of these improvements total about $5,800,000.00, of which $4,000,000. would be federal funds. Eton- federal responsibilities total $1,800,000.00. These are guaranteed by the state who look to the city for an assurance that the city will accept responsibility for $500,000.00. The principal item of cost to the city is the construction of a new bridge at 'J, Clinton St. estimated at nearly $303,000.00: the relocation of city owned utilities, water, sewer and fire alarms, and the payment of an enhancement benefit of 2.1% ($85,000) to the government. This latter payment can be made by doing certain work for the government. The N.Y.S. flood control commission has requested an immediate adoption of a resolution by the Common Council, which will be made later. The urgency of the matter, is that the Engineers wish to have the plan in Washington D.C. for consideration by the next Congress. I strongly recommend the adoption of this resolution by the Common Council. It offers a rare opportunity to make vast progress for relatively little expense. Superintendent Laverty presented and reviewed a map of the proposal. He termed it a good engineering job and one that will accomplish the purpose for which it is designed. He strongly urged its approval and stated that he felt it would be very unwise for the city not to accept it. Alderman Stimson stated that he regretted the rapidity with which the Council is expected to act on such an important !natter without giving the citizens of Ithaca any time to express themselves regarding the price tag of the prix) -eat. He stated that he had talked with some residents of the first and third wards and from their opinions, together with such other evidence as is available in such a short time, he believed he would be acting in their interests in offering the proposed resolution at this time. He also stated that the City Attorney had advised him that the wording - "willingness to participate" - gives the city time to find out how its citizens really feel about the proposal before a final commitment is made. Alderman Stallman asked if the Board of Public ' -Yorks had approved the proposal.. By Alderman Gibson: seconded by Alderman Stimson RESOLVED, that this Council be adjourned until the Board has given its expression or opinion of the matter. Carried. The Council meeting was adjourned accordingly and the Board of Public I°Torks convened in meeting. Bar Comm. Yengo: seconded by Comm. Pickering RESOLVED, that the proposed flood control project as presented be approved and recommended to the Council for its approval. Carried. " Approval of the Planning Board was solicited. Chairman H. Stilwell Brown questioned the traffic problem it might create by having all traffic use the State Street bridge, also its possible conflict 7iith urban renewal. Planning Director Wallick expressed his opinion that in general it does for the Island area what urban renewal intends to do but that he could see no general conflict. By Cowml. Reeder: seconded by Comm. Lee RESOLVED, that the Planning Board approves the proposed flood control project as presented and reeomrnends it to the Common Council for its approval. Carried. 1 T7 — 3 — November 15, 1958 i, lderman Stinson presented a resolution which was acted upon as follows: By Alderman Stimson: seconded by Alderman Y.urphy RESOLVED, that the Common Council of the City of Ithaca express its trillingness to participate in the Federal Flood Control project at Ithaca as proposed in a tentative report prepared by the Buffalo District Engineers, U.S. Corps of Engineers and dated Yovember, 1958, by assuming responsibility, and so assuring the N.Y.S. Flood Control Commission, for certain items of non - federal cooperation as follows: 1. Furnishing without cost to the State of New York any lands, easements and rights-of-way required by the project and title to which is vested in the city. 2. Replacement, relocation or reconstruction of the facilities of aelad1... ly armed utilities, including but not limited to setter and water lines, streets and bridges, as required by the project. 3. Installation and maintenance of protective barricades as might be re- quired by the project. 4. ndoption and enforcement of ordinances prohibiting encroachment upon ,..x the improvement and providing for regular policing and removal (as ordinary maintenance) of obstructions which might impede stream flow or interfere with proper functioning of the project. 5. Contribution, in return for special enhancement benefits, a sum equivalent to approximately 2.1% of Federal construction costs or provide the equal in construction work. Alderman Gibson advised that the proposed resolution was prepared by the Chairman of M.Y.S. Flood Control Commission who had assured city officials that the Council is only being asked to express its interest in it at this time. He urged its adoption. AYES: 13 MPYS: 0 Unanimously Carried.

Laverty reported that on request he had furnished Co,,ne�d University with copies of reports on Triphammer bridge which were prepared by'the city consulting engineers. He then read a letter dated December 22, 1958 from Cornell on this subject as follows: Dear Mr. Laverty: ` President Malott wrote to Mayor Ryan cn Decemoer 1 expressing the r. ,r University's position regarding the financing of a new mriphammer Bridge. w -.. He stated that we should not be expected to participate financially in its reconstruction or replacement. At the same time., President Malott wishes the University to be helpful to the City in this matter in every other possible way. It would seem that you and the City Engineer are the persons with whom to work in this respect because it is largely an engineering problem. We are engaged in a traffic engineering survey for the Campus that should be useful to your Department when it is completed. In the meantime we have had some of the data drawn off and they indicate a surprisingly significant non - Cornell use of Campus streets and the Triphammer Bridge. In recent news stories about the bridge it has been stated that Cornell requirements and specifications had increased the cGst of the proposed new bridge. There is certainly some misunderstanding in this respect because I know of no request being made by the University on bridge design and specifications. Any such off iclal reque --ts would cer- tainly have crossed my desk -, '.7e appreciate the opportunity to review your bridge consultantst reports. Ue believe the principal concern to be about the condition of the south abutment of the bridge and the rock supporting the arches at the same end. We wonder if a particular study was -nado- of rebuilding or reconstruct- ing the present aoutment and of measures that might pcsa -bly be taken to secure the rock supporti,-�g ;,he arches. It appears that the arch seats are preoent.ly safe, Would there be further available material from the consul+- - sr +.s �unce-rming the economics and engineering aspects of these features? ` ^re wish to be helpful to your Department to the fullest extent that Yours sincerely, John E, Burton re then advised the Board that the Cyty Engineer had written the city's cor.- ! "31ting engineers regarding questions contained in the la3t paragraph of •ir, Burton's letter but has not had time to receive an answer thereto as yet. T.ayor Ryan then read his statement of this subject as follows, "Ir_ connection with the Triphammer Bridge I would like to request the Board Of Public 4orks to completely and thoroughly study the bridge both as to traffic counts, the possible discontinuance of the bridge and the possible repair of the bridge, It is my firm conviction -that Gornell University share the costs of its repair or replacement." B7 Comm. Yengo; seconded by Wri. Egan REJODED, that the matter be referred to the Creeks & Bridges Committee for study and report. Carried. 1',4 8 - 3 - December 29, 1958 CORNELL U!=RSITY - SET:JER RENTALS: Attorney Clynes advised the Board that Cornell University has applied for an order granting a review of the determinat ioi of the amount levied against it for sewer rentals for the year 1958 and that a hearing on this matter has been scheduled for January 23, 1959. ITHACA COLLEGE: By Comm. Trim. Egan: seconded by Comm. Yengo RFSOLVED, that the Board approves in principle the sale of public lands to Ithaca College as requested by it; and that the Common Council be notified of such approval with the understanding that the Common Council shall set Forth the procedure for the sale of these lands at a later date. Carried. UPdDERr,7A.TER LAND GRANT: By Coimn. Wm. Egan: seconded by Comm. Yengo RESOL M , that the resolution passed by this Board on August 27, 1958 authorizing the City :Engineer to file an application for an underwater land grant north of the airport be amended to request an area of approximately 1,400tx 2,000t rather than the 7001 x 1,5001 area previously mentioned. Engineer Cass explained that the flood control program planned by the U.S. Corps of Engineers will effect the plans for developement of the airport by reducing the size of the original tract shown on the plans and that in addition as a result of considerable dredging to be undertaken a vast amount of material will become available for use in reclaiming a much larger area than originally anticipated north of the airport. Motion Carried. AUDIT: By Comm. Reulein: seconded by Comm. T,�hn. Egan RESOLVED, that the bills approved and audited by the Finance Committee be and hereby are approved for payment; and that the gills receivable be approved and ordered rendered. Carried.
