TRIPHAMMER BRIDGE: The Clerk read a letter from Ithaca Railway, Inc. stating that since December 2, 1958, when the Triphamner Bridge was closed to vehicular traffic over 5 tons, its passenger revenues had declined about 25% from the like period a year ago. Since the bus company ope.rted at a loss in 1958, and its costs are rising, it is going to ask the Public Service Commission for a fare increase. However, with the conditions that have been brought about by the five ton load limit on the bridge the company seriously doubted if a fare increase will come anywhere near answering its problem. In all probability, if not allowed to operate on this bridge in the near future the company will be forced to cease operations, it was stated. A definite answer was requested as to when it will be able to operate over the bridge within the next three weeks, as it is now preparing its case for the Public Service Commission. Mr. W.S. Sweet, President of Ithaca Railway, Inc. was present and further outlined the seriousness of the problem. Comm. Conley called attention to the Board's action of November 26th* recommending to the Council the inclusion of funds in the 1959 budget for the replacement of this bridge. By Comm.

After further discussion he recommended that the plans as submitted be referred to the Syracuse office of the N.Y.S. Department of Public Works for consideration. By Comm. Conley: seconded by Comm.

STATE COLLEGES AT CORVELL UNIVERSITY: Attorney Clyne - reviewed a'letter which he received from Arthur H. Peterson, Controller at Cornell University, advising that the State will pay penalties on water bills for its properties at Cornell provided the bills are received in proper form and on time. By Comm. Conley: seconded by Comm. Reulein RESOLVED, that the pertinent facts of the letter regarding this matter be included in and made a part of these minutes; and that the City Chamberlain be directed to follow instructions contained therein regarding billing procedure in the future. Carried, 232' - 2 - July 22, 1959 The following is an excerp from this letter: "State Law requires that the State be billed on standard voucher forms, which can be supplied the City if they have not already been so supplied. If the City will bill us initially on these, forms and if the vouchers are not paid within the 15 day period, the State win pay the penalty, but tho,13 days begin to count from the date the voucher is signed by the appropriate City bffieial. I believe there is no reason why the water bills cannot be paid within the gross period, but if the City bills on its standard card and we have to send vouchers for signature this obviously delays the process to a point Where the State cannot make payment within 15 days. This is not only my interpretaften but that of the Counsel to the State Comptroller." SOD: Arthur H. Peterson, Controller The following is an excerp from a letter of reply by the City Attorney: "With regard to the water bills, the city will bill you on State vouchers, and thus expedite; the matter, so that if the State does not pay the water bill within is days, it will be liable for the penalty."

Nurray, a representative of Halmur, Inc., appeared before the Board and requested a conference with Supt. Laverty and the city's consulting engineers to discuss the bid submitted on the sewage treatment plant under date of October 14th. It was agreed to hold such a conference imp mediately after adjournment of this meeting. BIBS - GILES STREET: Engineer Cass called attention to the clause in the contract -�. document for the Giles Street bridge requiring completion within 210 days after -�; award of contract and noted that it had been established prior to the steel strike. He predicted it may have an adverse effect on bids on this work and he therefore submitted an addendum to provide for an extension of this time under certain con - ditions. The addendum submitted was reviewed and acted upon as follows: By Comm. Yengo: seconded by Comm. Conley RESOLVED, that the addendum to the Giles Street bridge contract documents as sub- mitted by the City Engineer be approved as follows: Addendum No. 2 The following paragraph concerns the time for completion of this Contract insofar as it may be affected by the recent steel strike and shall be added to and considered a part of Article 10 - Extension of Time as it is found on page 2 -9 of the Contract documents. If the Contractor is delayed in the prosecution of the work by an inability to obtain delivery of structural or reinforcing steel due to the recurrence of or due to the effects of the recent strike in the steel industry, the Contractor shall have no claim for damages for any such cause or delay, but he shall be en- titled to such extension of the time specified herein for the completion of the work as the Engineer shall in writing certify to be just and proper, providing however, that claim for such extension of time is made by the Contractor in writing within two weeks from the time when such alleged cause for delay shall occur and accompanied by such written proof of inability to obtain steel delivery as the Engineer may require. The above change constitutes Addendum No. 2 to the above mentioned Contract and receipt of this Addendum I\!o. 2 is requested by mail at once addressed to Leon H. Cass, City Engineer, City Hall, Ithaca, N.Y. AFD BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that the Engineer be authorized and directed to fon4ard it to all prospective bidders. Carried. B%1D I5SUE - SENAGE TRRAT1,TENT PLANT: Comm. Conley reported that the cost of con- struction of additions to the Sewage Treatment Plant, based on bids received on October 14th., will exceed the original bond issue authorized therefor by the Council. He advised that the reasons for this increase are as follows: a. The 17% increase in costs between March 1957 and October 1959• b. The cost of foundations due to the type of soil encountered at the plant site. By Comm. Conley: seconded by Comm. Yengo RESOLVED, that the Council be requested to increase the bond authorization, dated July 2, 1958, for the sewage treatment plant by an amount of $150,000.001 thereby making the total of this issue $825,000.00.

SE1,JER BOND ISSUE: Having disposed of the foregoing matters, Mayor Ryan announced that this meeting had been called to discuss the additional financing of the sewer program and called on Supt. Laverty: Air. Laverty reviewed the need of an additional $150,000 for additions to the sewage treatment plant and $100,000.00 for the T,,Iest Hill interceptor sewer. In a discussion of this on Tuesday, November 16th, with the Finance Committee of the Council he related that a collateral issue, the matter of the Halmur bid, had been discussed and that since it involved a considerable saving to the city if acceptable and feasible he had been directed to go to Albany and discuss it with State Engineers. This was done on Thursday, '%vember 12th. and he reviewed the results, more clearly set forth in the following letter on this subject: 000,0. 253 - 3 - November 13, 1959 NF77 YORK STATE DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH WATER POLLUTION CONTROL BOARD N,r. Francis J. Laverty Superintendent of Public Works City of Ithaca Ithaca, New York Lear Mr. Laverty: Re: 24:14FC NY 55 City of Ithaca This will confirm the results of our conference on November 12, 1959. The State Department of Health and ?later Pollution Control Board will not consider any revisions in the plans and specifications for the proposed sewage treatment plant to serve your city unless such revisions are recommended by the Consulting Engineer retained by the City. Your Consulting Engineer has previously considered the possible use of the activated sludge process, and for various reasons has recommended against it. It is doubtful that he would reconsider his previous position; but if so, in relation to the proposed Halmur Process, he would probably need a considerable amount of time to study all angles of its possible application to the Ithaca „ pollutional problem before considering it as a satisfactory substitute for what >�. he has designed. However, in the event your Consulting Engineer should wish to submit plans to us for employment of the Halmur Process, I can tell you that much time would be required on our part to appraise its possible use for the City of Ithaca. Based on the limited data now available, as we understand it, from use of this process serving a small community in Pennsylvania, we would be very reluctant to consider its use for a city the size of Ithaca until there is a much more ex- tensive background of experience to justify its approval for such a large population. In any event, without passing in any way as to the suitability of the use of the Halmur process, we believe that the time required to give this process the study required by both your Consulting Engineer and ourselves would cause so much delay that the Federal aid already offered to your City would definitely be jeopardized. Furthermore, if this process is a patented process, we doubt very much that the U.S. Public Health Service would be able to approve of its use to the exclusion of other competitors because of Government regulations. Very truly yours, A.F. Dappert, P.E. Executive Secretary cc: Stearns and 11heler, Engineers Gilbert Associates U.S.F.H.S. Syracuse Regional Offide ` Tompkins Co. D.H.

Y1, OR'S STATaiENT: Mayor Ryan presented the following statement: "This is my last meeting and at this time I would like to thank the Board of Public Works and Mr. Frank Laverty for all the fine cooperation that I have had during my four years. Five members of the Board were appointed by myself and I am very proud of these appointments. Mr. Bill Egan was appointed by former Mayor Ivan Cook and I am equally as happy to have had Bill as a Commissioner of Public Works. All six of the Commissioners have always worked closely with me even though at times we disagreed. The taxpayers can be well satisfied that the men serving on this Board are so vitally interested in this City that they are willing to donate so much of their time attending meetings and dropping into City Hall to discuss City bus- iness. Mr. Laverty is to be commended for the way he handles his job and for the way he tries to keep everybody happy, With so many people demanding so many things Mr. Laverty does very well with such a limited budget. I also want to thank Frank for all the advice and help he gave me during the past four years. In my opinion the Board of Public Works is a valuable body in City government. �. Any future attempt to eliminate the Board would be very bad thinking on the part of those who are not familiar with the duties of the Commissioners. I wish Mayor -Elect Smith the best of luck and hope the Commissioners will continue to work closely with him." John F. Ryan Mayor ra On motion the meeting was adjourned. j Geo. A.
