Resolution By Comm. Walker: Seconded by Comm.

Carried Unanimously _Status of Progress with New Roster Supt. Dingman reported on the progress with meeting the limitations of the new roster: In the General Fund there have been five terminations . This now leaves only the reduction of one custodial position from 40 hours to 20 hours to be accomplished. This will not be accomplished until the Common Council takes some action per- mitting it, or until March 1, whichever is sooner, or until there is a further reduction of staff through attrition. In the Water and Sewer Division, where five positions are to be eliminated, one employee has left, leaving four more terminations to be accomplished. City Engineer's Report Adams Street Bridge Problem Phil Cox reported that several weeks ago the Mayor had directed that the Engineering Division look into the possibility of a wheel chair ramp at the Adams Street foot bridge. A preliminary design and cost estimate has been completed on this project and the Mayor will be advised of the costs in a memo. 329 -3- February 13, 1980 Access of Handicapped to City Hall Also, as directed, City Engineer Cox reported that the Engineering Division had looked into the possibility of providing access to the handicapped at the City Hall building. Investigation has been made and cost estimates developed. A written report on this project will be presented to the Mayor in the near future. Parking Underneath Green Street Garage Comm. Walker inquired whether a irective had been given to the Engineering Department to come up with two or three cost proposals for parking underneath the existing Green Street Garage and the open space. Supt. Dingman did not recall whether there had been a directive but he said that a study had been made and if the City were to develop the area that' s called the "hole" and the area underneath the garage for attendant parking, and develop it in a way that it could be maintained economically, the cost would be approximately $70,000. CO Unattended parking would be somewhat less . He stated that he could ® support such a proposal if some kind of action to build in that location is not forthcoming in the near future. Attended parking Q would have the effect of cleaning up the entire area from City Hall Q all the way up to the Commons . Supt. Dingman made the observation Q that it would be beneficial to the downtown area, whether the park- ing was attended or unattended, would be much more convenient to the people who wish to shop on the Commons and would improve the characteristics of the area between the Commons and Green Street where probably 50% of the people who shop in the area pass through underneath the ramp on foot. He could support such a proposal if a way were found to finance it. Comm. Schickel mentioned that the Commons Advisory Board had talked about a number of different possibilities for use of the area. The i Board was interested in finding out what the cost would be of pro- viding parking under the ramp only, not the hole, doing just a minimum amount to the surface and curbs . A method of special permits for handicapped and senior citizens to park underneath the ramp was another idea to be looked into. Comm. Schickel asked if it would be possible to work up costs of a proposal along those lines . WATER AND SANITARY SEWER COMMITTEE: Claim from C-I-L C emica s , Inc. By Comm. Brown: Seconded y Comm.

Supt. of Public Works Dingman reported that the Chairman of that Committee had been out of town and no action was taken. Vice-Chairman MacInnes was asked to look into the matter. Dredging of Lagoon Mayor Bor oni stated that he ha a matter of unfinished business that had been brought to the Board last month, that matter being the dredging of the lagoon. Mr. Dingman had commented that his Department was not budgeted for dredging the lagoon and consequently there were no plans to do it. Mayor Bordoni felt that it was some- thing for the Board to think about and if it is something that needs to be done, that it be included in the next budgeting process. He felt that the only way to arrive at an answer is to put a recommendation into Committee and requested the name of the appro- priate Committee. With weather conditions the way that they are ar the present time, it would be unfortunate if the Department was not able to take advantage of it. The lagoon has been dredged in the past to a depth of_ 4 or 5 feet. It is used by many of our senior citizens and others and is a favorite spot for fishing and just resting. It has served our community well over the years and the Mayor felt that it would be a shame to let it get into poor condi- tion. i 333 -7- February 13, 1980 Resolution By Comm.

This problem is more acute now, since the Youth Bureau will not be providing buses to the park during the summer swim season. There is a very strong possibility that the Cass Park facilities (pool and rink) will decrease in use and/or will be used by only those who can afford to drive or be driven to the park.

A vote on the resolution resulted as follows : Carried Unanimously Dredging of the Lagoon at Stewart Park Comm. Schickel reported that the department has considered the request for the dredging of the lagoon at Stewart Park as presented by the Mayor and others at previous meetings. The bottom of the lagoon has been tested for frost penetration. The approximate 12" frost layer has been judged inadequate to support any city-owned equipment which might operate in there at this time. Dredging would best be accomplished by the use of a drag line which can operate without entering the lagoon. It is estimated that approximately $8,000 would be required. This money is needed to provide for sufficient drag line rental and other costs to make a significant improvement. No money has been budgeted for this . Discussion followed on the floor.

In the opinion of the committee tie aldermen concerned are in a far beta_-.:• position to provide at least tentative answers to these questions than are members of this Board. 2. That the Common Council review the assumptions that underlie the present parking regulations , in a meeting that allows spokesmen from the Department of Public Works , the Police Department, and the Planning Department to all su mit opinions concerning the overnight storage of private vehicles oi public thoroughfares . Following this review, Council might vote to decide whether or not it supports the same assumptions that moved tie Council of 1964 to adopt the regulation! 339 -5- February 27, 1980 The Board of Public Works feels that such a re-evaluation of the general philosophy behind the law is essential to its recommenda- tions , since the ad hoc granting of exceptions threatens to vitiate the regulation of its impact. 3. That, in the meantime, the Department of Public Works send a copy of the 1964 Common Council resolution on parking regulations to each member of the Planning and Zoning Appeals Boards , to remind or inform them of the intention behind what is now the law. 4.

Q Carried Unanimously Q PETITIONS AND HEARINGS OF PERSONS BEFORE THE BOARD: Cut-back in ater an ewer Department Mr. Charles Wilson, 105 I'roquois Road, Ithaca, New York, appeared before the Board and spoke to cut-backs in the Water and Sewer Department. He said he has seen only one side of the operations--the department provides services to the homeowner which are relatively critical , and the speed with which they provide those services is important in a lot of instances . To the homeowner who has a service that has been damaged or malfunctions , the cooperation of the department is needed to get it back in operation. F The department is responsible for everything from the curb line to the main. He said there is a big difference in contractors who are laying sewers. Fortunately, in Ithaca there are very good people , both in the contractors ! end and the utilities ' end. A lapse in inspection, or the people who are supervising all this , can lead to marginal installations and high. costs. He said he has noticed everytime he has asked the depart- ment to do anything, that he has never observed anything except an efficient operation. I'f they are wasting time anywhere , it is not on his j ob. Mr. Wilson said he wants the Board to understand that what they have here is very good and that is not true everywhere else. If you start making adjustments there is the potential we may pay for i.t at a later time. He believes that if you cut the personnel you also cut service. They provide a critical service that no one else can provide. Supt. Dingman thanked Mr. Wilson for his comments , and assured him that as far as the department is concerned, it has every intention that the quality and nature of their services will continue. He told Mr. Wilson that he could do the department a real service in that if he notices , because of the action the department is taking, that the services are deteriorating, they would appreciate his being candid.

Carried Unanimously PETITIONS AND HEARINGS OF PERSONS BEFORE THE BOARD: Cut-back in Water and Sewer De ar ment Mr. Charles Wilson, 105 Iroquois Roaa, Ithaca, New York, appeared before the Board and spoke to cut-backs in the Water and Sewer Department. He said he has seen only one side of the operations--the department provides services to the homeowner which are relatively critical , and the speed with which they provide those services is important in a lot of instances . To the homeowner who has a service that has been damaged or malfunctions,,, the cooperation of the department is needed to get it back in operation. The department is responsible for everything from the curb line to the main. He said there is a big difference in contractors who are laying sewers. Fortunately, in Ithaca there are very good people, both in the contractors) end and the utilities ' end. A lapse in inspection, or the people who are supervising all this , can lead to marginal installations and high. costs. He said he has noticed everytime he has asked the depart- ment to do anything, that he has ever observed anything except an efficient operation. I'f they are wasting time anywhere , it is not on his job. Mr. Wilson said he wants the Board to understand that what they have here is very good and that is not true everywhere else. If you start making adjustments there is the potentia we may pay for it at a later time. He believes that if you cut the personnel you also cut service. They provide a critical service that no one else can provide . Supt. Dingman thanked Mr. Wilson or his comments, and assured him that as far as the department is conce ned, it has every intention that the quality- and nature of their services will continue. He told Mr. Wilson that he could do the department a real service in that if he notices , because of the action the department is taking, that the services are deteriorating, they would appreci to his being candid. —PERSONNEL: Transfer of Em 1p oyee Supt.

Pierre Elliott Trudeau Jimmy Carter" 366 -2- May 15, 1980 PETITIONS AND HEARINGS OF PERSON BEFORE THE BOARD: Protest of Street Cleaning Procedures Diane Gordon of 702 North Aurora Street appeared before the Board to protest the action taken by the Department of Public Works on May 1st in connection with the City' s st eet cleaning procedures . Her car was ticketed and towed away by t e Department on that date. Miss Gordon admitted that signs had b en put up 24 hours in advance of the time that the work was to be done. However, she arrived home around midnight, she looked for z parking spot on a nearby side street only to find that signs were posted for street cleaning, she did not feel safe in parking her car six or more blocks away and walking to her apartment. She felt alternate places should be furnished. Supt. of Public Works Dingman re ponded to Miss Gordon by stating that the Department has a job to do and it has to be done in the most efficient way. He stated that he took exception to her attitude that the City has a responsibility to provide a place on the street for parking her car. That is not the City' s responsibility. Mr. Dingman further mentioned that every possible effort is made to locate the owner of a car before it is towed away. Asst. to the Supt. Jack Dougherty reported that the reason both north-south and east-west streets are done at the same time in a particular neighborhood is because of the drainage patterns ; it would be foolish to clean streets in ail area and push the dirt and debris into another area. Miss Gordon thanked the Board for listening to her protest and hoped that by the time the street Ilea ing was done again in her neighbor- hood perhaps something could be worked out. STAFF REPORTS: Superintendent' s Report Supt. Dingman reported that the ompkins County Trust Company has sponsored the time and temperature indicators on the Commons since they were instituted late in 1974. Under their contract they pay $3, 300 a year towards the maintenance of the indicators and the present five-year contract will expire on September 30, 1980 . The Trust Company has been reviewing its policies and has notified Mr. Dingman that it will be willing o continue sponsorship to the extent of $1,000 per year for the next five years . The Trust Company is willing to share sponsorship with others . Supt. Dingman said that this matter will be handled by passing this information on to the Commons Advisory Board for its recommendation to the Board of Public Works as to what method to take in the sponsorship of the indicators . Mr. Dingman requested that a conclu- sion be arrived at in sufficient time before September 30th so that his Department can consider what further arrangements will have to be made. Supt. Dingman also men ioned that it is not likely that the continuing price for maintaining the indicators will remain at $3, 300 a year because the contract calls for a cost of living adjust- ment and it is conceivable that he cost of the maintenance contract will increase for the coming five-year period. Mr. Dingman said that he just wanted to let the Board know what was happening and that he would have a further report on the project unless it was decided at this time not to continue such maintenance. Engineer' s Report City Engineer Cox stated that th Annual Report had been prepared and asked that it be accepted by the Board. Resolution By Comm. Schickel: Seconded by Comm.

However, Mr. Dingman stated that the Personnel Administrator questioned the appointment and that she was present at the meeting to state her position. The Personnel Administrator said she was looking for clarification as to whether the Department was going to keep within the Roster as agreed upon by the 1978 Common Council Resolution, that is 154 employees . She stated that with the hiring of Douglas Griffin, the number of employees would be 156 ; and she wanted the Board to give her recommendations . Supt. Dingman said that three out of five of his Departments were presently at the proper Roster level; that the overage remains in Engineering and the Water and Sewer Division and that the overage (0 would be taken care of by attrition this year. Supt. Dingman stated ® that he could not transfer employees from Water and Sewer Division to Buildings and Grounds Division because he did not have the same Q type workers in those Departments . Comm. Ditzell made a motion to keep Douglas Griffin on as a seasonal employee until a full time position opens up. The motion failed for lack of second. Q Further discussion was had with reference to hiring permanent employees and what action should be taken by the Personnel Adminis- trator if and when this problem arises again. Asst . to the Supt. Jack Dougherty mentioned that he will have the same problem in a few weeks for the position of night mechanic . Resolution By Comm. Cleveland: Seconded by Comm. Walker RESOLVED, that the Buildings and Grounds Division of the Department of Public Works be instructed to fill two vacancies, one existing at the present time and one that will be open in the near future, and that attrition take place in the Water and Sewer Division as hereto- fore programmed.

Carried Unanimously Capital Improvement Proposal--Re abilitation of West End Railroad Crossin City Engineer Cox presented the tollowing report : Problem: The three railroad gr de crossings at Fulton and State , Fult'. and Seneca, and Fulton and Buff to are all in poor repair. The greate contributing factor to the roug rail crossing is the poor condition o Conrail' s roadbed. The next gr atest cause of the poor crossings is the heavy volume of traffic using S ate , Seneca, and Buffalo Streets . Poor drainage at the crossings also ggravates the situation. Background: For several years he City has been trying to persuade Conrail (formerly Lehigh Valley) to carry out its responsibility for maintaining its grade crossings . In 1975 , a capital project request was made of Common Council for 1976 funding to rebuild the three cros- sings . The request was denied. Contacts with the NYS Department could be put together for a coo erative effort between the State and City for the crossing improveme ts . Such a program was changed on different occasions and was slo- in materializing. The latest program proposed by- the State involves the use of federal-aid funds under the Federal=Aid- fil.ghtvAy.�Program. Proposal : The NYS Department o Transportation i.s sponsoring a program whereby- Conrail wi.11 come in wit its forces and rebuild the three west- end crossings using modern grade-crossing materials. While this work is in progress on one crossing at a time , the City is expected to provide the necessary traffic control and detours . The Traffic Engineer is working out traffic control details now. Reconstruction of the grade crossings would be accomplished uring the summer of 1980 . Due to the involvement of federa funds , it becomes necessary to bring. w.,,uciated traffic signal sy tem up to state and federal standards Now obsolete , the entire system f traffic and warning signals would have to be revised. Such a syst m could be revised to include design for an emergency pre-emption Sig al system which would allow an ambu- lance dispatcher, for example , t send a signal which would preclude a train from moving into the area f the west end crossings until an ambulance bound for the hospital cleared the railroad tracks . Such a system has not yet been authoriz d by NYS Department of Transportation, but the design for the signal sy tem revision could include it when submitted for approval . The Sta e is proposing that the City design r u 7 -5- June 25 , 19AO the signal system revision; submit it for approval ; then, using our forces , install the new system. In both cases- -the traffic control and the signal work--the State will reimburse the City 1000 . Discussion followed on the floor concerning the proposed project. At this time, it is estimated that the traffic control , which includes the use of off-duty policemen at critical intersections , will cost approximately $15 ,000 . Likewise , a rough estimate (design is not complete) of the traffic signal work cost is $50 ,000 . 00 City Attorney Shapiro suggested that the Personnel Administrator be informed of the plans as they may involve employees ' contracts . Resolution By Comm. Cleveland: Seconded by Comm. Walker RESOLVED, That it is recommended that a capital project be established in the amount of $65 ,000 in order for the City to participate in the cooperative program of improving the three west end railroad crossings. (0 It is also recommended that the Superintendent of Public Works be O authorized to enter into an agreement with the NYS Department of Trans- portation for the implementation of the program and reimbursement for City expenses upon approval of the agreement form by the City Attorney.

Q Carried Unanimously COMMUNICATIONS: Letter from Tompkins County Golf Association The following letter was sent to Dave Ban field by Edward A. Mazza, President of Tompkins County Golf Association : "Dear Dave : I am writing you this letter as President of the Tompkins County Golf Association. We are in the process of planning the annual county golf. tournament . The tournament will be played on September 6 , 7 , 13 and 14 . The September 7 round will be played at the Cornell University Golf Club. The September 13 round will be played at the Hillendale Golf Course and the Trumansburg Golf Club (the field being split that day according to flights . ) . The September 14 round will be played at the Country Club of Ithaca. Each of these courses has agreed as usual , to give the golf association the use of the course without any charge for greens fees . We would like to request that the City of Ithaca allow the golf associa- tion to use the Newman Municipal Golf Course on September 6-, 1980 , without any charge for greens fees . We estimate 110 players will participate in the tournament this year. The tournament is designed to promote golf in the county by getting together the players from the various clubs in the county and playing on the various courses . It is planned in September due to the fact that the Labor Day weekend traditionally marks the end of the summer golf season in this area. This way the clubs do not bear a financial burden by allowing us to use their courses . Over the recent past the tournament was played on the Country Club of Ithaca, Cornell , Trumansburg and Stonehedges . Last year Hillendale was added to the list. This year Stonehedges has a scheduling con- flict and cannot participate . The golf association would greatly appreciate your presentatlu�, o! this request to the City of Ithaca Board of Public Works for their approval . If I can be of any assistance to you or to the Board, I would be happy to answer any questions or explain the tournament more fully. 390 -2- July 9, 1980 Thanking you for your cooperation in this matter, I remain Very truly yours , ED Edward A. Mazza President EAM:dl Tompkins County Golf Association cc: Lew Adesso Newman Golf Course" After a brief discussion, Mayor Bordoni requested that the letter be referred to Commissioner Schic ells Public Buildings , Grounds and Parks Committee for further action. New York State Electric & Gas Corporation re Cherr Street Industrial Park Gas Lin e Mayor Bordoni passe out copies of letter from New York State Electric $ Gas Corporation to him with reference to proposal for providing natural gas service to Cherry Street Industrial Park. The Mayor discussed the background of the letter and mentioned that the contract had been passed back and forth in an effort to find out who was suppose to approve or disapprove of the proposal . The Mayor checked with City Attorney Shapird and with Planning Director Van Cort , both of whom were under the impression that the Board of Public Works has the final say on approval or disapproval . The Mayor further explained that the $30,000 expensE will be refundable as stated in NYSEG' s letter after usage of gas reaches a certain amount . It is important that the contract be ap roved because the gas line has to be installed before the paving is done at the Industrial Park. 'Resolution By Comm. Cleveland: Seconded by Comm. Walker RESOLVED, that the Mayor be autho ized to execute the proposal of New York State Electric & Gas Cor oration, dated July 2 , 1980 , with. reference to installing a natural gas main along the main street of the Industrial Park. The City of Ithaca will provide New York State Electric & Gas Corporation uith a refundable contribution of $30 , 000 for such construction. Discussion followed on the floor. A vote on the resolution resulted as follows : Carried Unanimously Need for Traffic Sign on Catherine Street Commissioner Ditzell read the ollowing letter from John N. Baker, Jr. , 107 Catherine St . , to Mayor Raymond Bordoni : "Dear Mr. Bordoni : I am a Cornell student and a resident of Catherine St . in College- town. This letter is sent to request that one or more "Children at Play/Slow-Children Playing" or other appropriate traffic signs be placed as soon as possible at the top and bottom of Catherine St . , not to mention other streets in the hilly Collegetown area. I do not know why such signs are not already present at this , and other locations . I am sorry for not writing sooner than this concern- t-'.is -after. It is dangerously obvious the potential for injury to the many children of the parents living on this street , especially in the Mission Apartment Building . I know one four-year old girl personally from work with her in a school related course at her nursery. She , and other children Play on the street . -3- July 9 , 1980 391 Besides being extremely steep , Catherine St . can barely let one car , much less two cars , pass , and often one or more driver must drive on the sidewalk to avoid collision with a car coming in the opposite direction. Most cars only begin slowing down at the bottom of the hill , half a block past the Mission Apartments . Cars travel at a high speed down the hill during the day as well as night . I think many drivers may have the mistaken impression that there are no young children present in a Collegetown area, or may temporarily forget . In the event of an emergency, I don' t think a driver coming down the hill could stop in time to avoid hitting a small child, or anyone for that matter, especially at high speeds . Nor do I think a child could get out of the cars ' path soon enough either. Therefore, a responsible and urgently needed course of action would be the placement of appropriate signs at such locations as Catherine St . , having Apartment Complexes with small children living in them. It seems a small price to pay for the safety of such young children. Co Please make all efforts to remedy this situation as soon as possible . O I would appreciate notification of any reasons why such sign(s) should not be installed at the soonest possible moment . Q Thank you for your attention in this matter. Q Sincerely, John N. Baker Jr. " Resolution By Comm. Walker: Seconded by Comm. Ditzell RESOLVED, that the letter of John N. Baker Jr. to Mayor Raymond Bordoni , dated June 25 , 1980 , requesting that consideration be given to new traffic signs on Catherine Street, be referred to the Parking, Traffic and Transit Committee for investigation.

Brown reported that there are four main pumps in the main sewage- pumping station rated at 40 hp , 100 hp , 75 hp and 100 hp. The number one pump, a 40 hp electrically-driven pump , is not in operating condition and there are no present plans to replace it . The number 2 electrically-driven 100 hp pump is in the process of being replaced by our forces and, when replaced, will be a serviceable pump. Number 3, electrically-driven 75 hp pump , is presently in service but needs re- placement. Number 4 , an electrically-driven 100' hp pump, has a satis- factory motor but the pump needs replacement . When the replacement of the number 2 pump is completed, the number 3 pump should be replaced and the number 4 pump placed on standby. When the number 3 pump is replaced, we will have the option of operating on sewer gas or on electricity. Sewer gas operation of this pump will make a large saving in utility costs , as well as being an energy-saving measure . The sewer gas engine for operating this pump is in place but cannot be used at this time because the number 3 pump is in too poor condition for variable speed operation. The estimated cost of replacing the number 3 pump is approximately $13, 000 . Funds for this replacement exist in the capital budget. Resolution By Comm. Brown : Seconded by Comm. Schickel RESOLVED, That the Superintendent be authorized to receive bids for a replacement for the number 3 sewage pump in the main sewage pumping station.

It is essential that this operation continue for the remaining life of the plant - approximately six years . Resolution By Comm. Brown: Seconded by Comm. Schickel RESOLVED, That the Common Council be requested to provide a capital project in the amount of $50 ,000 for sewage treatment digester cleaning and repair. 400 -4- July 30 , 1980 Discussion followed on the flo r.

Traffic turning to go east on Green Street from boththe 100 and 200 blocks of Cayuga Street gives the pedestrian no chance. There have been several accidents on that corner and pedestrians tell me that it is easier to cross at the City Hall parking lot or at Woolworth' s and take their chances jaywalking than it is to cross at the corner where a light has been provided. May I suggest that traffic patterns have set up a most dangerous situation. To remedy that situation, a walk light , which is truly a walk light , with all vehicular traffic coming to a halt should be installed. I know there are problems with such a system, but I urge the Board to consider a pedestrian walk light . Yours truly, Elva W.

Dingman, Superintendent Department of Public Works City Hall Ithaca, NY 14850 Mr. Dingman, I want to express the appreciation of the Cascadilla Boat Club members for the use of the old Cascadilla Boathouse in Stewart Park during 1980. Without your support and the approval of the Board of Public Works our program of rowing train- ing for local people would not exist. We respectfully request your continued permission for use of the boathouse through 1981 . Our membership has grown to over seventy. Our recent first newsletter and fund raising effort was mailed to over two hundred. We are proud to sponsor crew as a club sport for Ithaca High School funded totally by the CBC members through gifts, fund raising events, and modest dues. In 1980 our members represented Ithaca in regattas in Boston, Philadelphia, Ottawa, and Welland, Ontario. Fourteen of our members participated in the popular Empire State Games in Syracuse where they won five medals. We exist primarily to provide the people of the Ithaca area with an opportunity to learn how to row in shells. Since our founding in 1977 we have become an IRS 501 (c) (3) not-for-profit tax exempt educational organization. This status has now also been recognized by the New York State Tax Division and the United States Postal Service. 14 -2- Our growth has been encouraging and we now nust ask for an opportunity to discuss with you, a designee, or a committee of the Board of Public Works our desire to (1 ) begin contributing to the maintenance of the boathouse and (2) our genuine need for additional space for boat storage.
