PARKING RAMP: . The.,C1erk.read a Memorandum, dated January 12, 1971, from Mayor Johns to the Boara,as follows: "BefdlY_d; too long, we will have the balance of the 200 block fire station down and I suggest we look over the plans for a three-tier ramp. Arthur Golder has a very simple sketch which loots reasonable and may give us , surface king for the Hotel Block. We may be able to eliminate the six or seven tier raa;pL-.thatt S.U.D,C. is proposing in the Woolworth Block at a cost of approximately 2'31 mil 'dbi'iars plus. I thi4 wet_phould do everything possible to come up with sufficient parking and reasonable pax�k3ng ..fees to the customers and the least operating costs to the City. Under the S.U.D.C. plan, I can see nothing but heavy operating expenses plus the expense of two elevators and a bridge across Tioga Street leading into this ramp. The City has given S.U.D.C. full authority to build whatever they want at practically any cost, and all costs to date will be added to the total construction. It seems to me that we have practically no authority to change their thinking, yet we have to live with this costly monster if and when completed. I hereby request the Board of Public Works to investigate these two sites for an alternative to the parking ramp and come up with cost figures and parking-fee rates in the above suggested lots."

HANGAR THEATRE: Comm, Leary denied emphatically that he had read a prepared statement at the Public Ground's Committee meeting held last Monday regarding use of the hangar for theatrical performances, as indicated by a news item in the Ithaca Journal, which _ he felt implied that the Committee's mind was made up before the meeting.

Before the State makes the investigation a letter on intent must be re- ceived from the property owner stating he will incur all costs of the installation and maintenance of the signal. Upon receipt of this notice the Department will conduct a traffic survey at this location. He recommended that the City make such an application to N.Y.S. Dept. of Transportation on behalf of Weston's ; and that the City state its A intent to bear the cost thereof including its maintenance. By Comm. Downing: seconded by Comm.

The categories examined consist of the following: 1. Source of Supply, Power & Pumping 2. Purification 3. Transmission & Distribution 4. Administration 5• General Expense 6. Debt Service To take them step by step, if we are not supplying water outside the City, we would not need any of the pumping stations with the exception of 50% of the Vinegar Hill. Station. Therefore, the Source of Supply, Power and Pumping costs would be reduced from the 1970 actual of $24,000 to approximately $15,000. The Purification Plant would require the same personnel to operate it as it is presently staffed, so there would be no savings in Salaries. However, as we would be treating approximately 34.5% less water, our treatment costs would be reduced, so the Purification costs would be reduced from : 124100 to $101,000. The Transmission and Distribution of Water would likewise cost less because we would be distributing less water, thus a reduction in costs from $113,000 to $71+,000. Under Administration costs there are several categories , some in which there would be savings and some in which there might not. It is estimated that this reduction would be from 1970's cost of $200,000 to $162 ,000. Under General Expense about half the amount spent on Capital Projects could be eliminated and half as much put into Capital Reserves , thus a savings from $167,000 to $122,000. Even though a large portion of the Debt was incurred to produce facilities that benefit the outside districts more than the City of Ithaca, we would not be able to reduce the debt service of $84,000 because we are obligated for the -2- life of the bonds and could expect no subsidy from outside districts if they withdrew from the Water System. Thus , the total costs of the Water System for 1970 amounted to $712,000 and with the system serving only the City, the cost would be $558,000 or about 78.3% of 1970 costs. Revenue from Water Meters in 1970 was $622,500 and with revenue of about $231,000 from outside districts our revenue would be reduced to $391,500. When adding revenues from other sources of about $110,500 to the $391,500 the total revenue figure is $502,000. In order to come up with a balanced budget of $558,000 we would have to raise water rates enough to produce the difference of $56,000 which would result in an increase of about 11.5%. There is an estimated $100,000 in water meters in the outside districts that the Water System should be reimbursed for if the City were not servicing the outside districts. However, there have been Capital Expenditures by the System which were of more benefit to the outside districts than to the City of Ithaca for �rhich we undoubtedly would not be reimn ursed. I believe this review of the situation point~ up the fact that the City could go it alone without too much of a financial burden, but that it would be more advantageous to both parties if the City of Ithaca Water System continued to service both the City and the outside districts .

Townley, Jr. appeared before the Board and requested permission to have one utility pole installed in the area between the sidewalk and curb on Stewart Avenue and another one on Thurston Avenue. He informed the Board he wished to operate two mobile food wagons-one at each location-to serve students and other patrons in these areas. He described the locations involved as across from student dormitories on Stewart Avenue and near Waite Avenue on Thurston. By Comm. Putney: seconded by Comm.

SENIOR CITIZENS' REQUEST: Mrs. Helen Davenport, Chairman of Legislative Committee of Senior Citizens and Malcolm Freeborn, Director, appeared before the Board and requested that about twenty parking spaces in Parking Lot "Y" be reserved for use of Senior Citizens in the rear of and adjacent to McGraw Apartment House, without charge, They agreed to install appropriate signs and police the area. The Supt. asked Building Commissioner Jones to review the variance granted Senior Citizens by the Board of Zoning Appeals for use of their present headquarters of Geneva Street. Mr. Jones advised that in their appeal for a variance, Senior Citizens had stated that their use of the property would not create any special parking problems, a fact which was taken into consideration by the Board of Zoning Appeals in granting the variance. Attorney Weinstein advised that the Board could not lease public property legally without advertising for bids thereon. By Comm. Putney: seconded by Comm. Leary RESOLVED, that the request be referred to the Parking & Traffic Committee for further study and report thereon. Carried. CECIL CAGE - BOAT CONCESSION: The Clerk read a letter from Cecil Cage requesting renewal of his boar-ride concession at Stewart Park for the coming year under its present terms and conditions.

FLORAL AVENUE: Attorney Weinstein reported that the closing on 211 Floral Avenue had taken place and delivered a deed to the City for this property. It was accepted and ` ordered filed in Tompkins County Clerk's office. WATER SUPPLY: Asset. Superintendent Hannan presented and read the following statement regarding the present condition of the City's water supply: "We have this week hooked up a b" water main on Sharlene Drive (in Eastern Heights) as authorized July 14th and have made the tap for a new laundromat on Judd Falls Road. Neither of these adtions should jeopardize the present questionable reserve in the sixty foot reservoir currently at its next to lowest level on record. However in view of our latest concern in the Outside versus the City water supp3y, in light of the unexpected opposition from local and state health departments which although it has not been formalized has also not been denied, and most important, recognizing that 1 ' -2- November 10, 1971 whatever ma;,, be developed by the study which the towns are reportedly about to undertake will be a long time in being implemented - any hook-ups at all are a source of concern. Should we thin continue to hook-up one and all and hope for the best? Should we be selective? Should we stop all main extensions?" By Comm. Putney: seconded by Comm. Leary RESOLVED, that the Board accepts Mr. Hannan's report and refers it to its Water & Sewer Committee for action; and that in the meantime the Superintendent be directed to make no further connections outside the city to the city's water system except with the ex- pressed permission of this Board. Carried. Comm. Putney wondered if the City really needed its proposed alternate water supply in the event the outside areas secure their own supply and discontinued using city water. The Superintendent and the Asst. Superintendent both felt that the alternate supply was the best solution for the next ten years in any event. After some further discussion the Supt. was requested to contact N.Y.S. Health Dept. by telephone for an emergency decision regarding Ithaca's request for approval of its alternate water supply. BIDS-CHEMICALS: By Comm. Putney: seconded by Comm. Leary RESOLVED, that the Superintendent be authorized to advertise for bids on furnishing the Water & Sewer Division with chemicals for the coming year; and that the bids thereon CT: shall be returnable on December 6, 1971. Carried. WATER INVOICE EXPUNGED: By Comm. Putney: seconded by Comm. Leary RESOLVED, that water invoice #7523 in the amount of $486.31, rendered through error to Erro Ruuspakka, be and it hereby is ordered expunged. Carried. COUNTY WATER AGENCY MEETING: Comm. Putney reported that County Planning Commissioner Liguori had called a meeting of the Tompkins County Water Agency for Wednesday, Nov. 17 at 4:00 p.m. , in the Board of Representatives Chambers at the Tompkins County Court House. The agenda includes status reports by the City of Ithaca, Towns of Ithaca, Lansing and Dryden and the Village of Cayuga Heights. It also includes a status report on the upland feasibility study being performed by the Cayuga Lake Basin Board staff. Alderman Conley entered at this point in the proceedings. STREET LIGHTING: Mr. James Turner presented and reviewed two proposals by the N.Y.S. Electric and Gas Corporation for an improved street lighting program for the downtown or central business district. One proposal included the installation of 103 - 52,000 lumen mercury vapor lamps at an estimated increase in cost of $25,914.08 which includes installation, underground facility charge at 15% of installed cost, and credit for removal of existing incandescent system. Vie other proposal included the installation of 103 - 46,000 lumen sodium lamps at an estimated increased cost of $21,588.08. By Comm. Ewanicki: seconded by Comm. Downing RESOLVED, that the proposals be referred to the Highway Committee for further study and report. Carried. Upon inquiry by Comm. Putney about the Christmas lighting, Supt. Dingman reported that when work on installation of the lights has been completed the lights would be turned on from the Friday after Thanksgiving until the Tuesday after New Year's Day. SIDEWALK HEARING: Comm. Ewanicki reminded members of the Board that a public hearing would be held at the Board's next meeting on sidewalk assessments levied on October 13th. INLET CREEK WALLS: Comm. Golder reported that the Superintendent and the City Engineer had reviewed the proposal of Mr. Zaharis for repair of the west Inlet wall between West Buffalo Street and West Seneca Street. In the opinion of the Superintendent, the City has no legal obligation to repair this wall. Any obligation that exists lies with either the State of New York, Department of Transportation, Division of Canals and Waterways; or with the upland owner. No danger to any of the City's installations (i.e., bridges , streets, storm drains) is presented. The only arguments in favor of City participation at this time are; (a) improvement of the wall would improve the value of the upland therefore, result in more taxable property on the City's rolls, and (b) action now or in the near future woUd very likely forestall further deterioration of the remainder of the existing wall. Mr. Zaharis's proposals are not in sufficient detail to permit an engineering evaluation. By C , , . Golder: seconded by Comm. Leary Resolved, that this proposal be referred back to the Superintendent for further study. Carried. i -3- November 10, 1971 FAIR ASSOCIATION: By Comm. Leary: seconded by Cam , Putney RESOLVED, that the Tompkins County Fair Association be authorized to use a portion of Southwest Park for a three-week period during the month of August 3972; and that this authorization shall be subject to regulations and restrictions to be worked out between the Fair Association and the Superintendent. Carried. CAPITAL IMPROVEMENTS: Comm. Putney reported that the Superintendent had compared the report of the Capital Improvement Review Committee with the list of projects previously presented to the Hoard. Zlne Review Committee has added a parking structure on East Green Street to be funded as $80,000 in 1972. The balance of $1,600,000 total estimated cost, to be financed in future years. A request for $15,000 for traffic signal installation and improvement has been omitted. Apparently, this is an oversight. Missing from both lists is the widening of Clinton Street between Meadow Street and Cayuga Street. This was overlooked in our original requests. A Capital Projects proposal is being prepared to provide for a portion of this work in 1972 and a portion in 1973. BUDGET AMENDHW: By Comm. Putney: seconded by Comm. Leary RESOLVED, that the Common Council be requested to amend the Water & Sever budget to provide an additional amount of $834.48 in account A391-48, Sunrise Road water improve- ments, to cover a deficit.
