I did not read the subject closely enough and thought it was just your usual agenda distribution email. My side of the story is basically this: The tree fell at this address after work hours and was blocking a major roadway. My crew was called to clear the tree out of the street so the street could be opened to vehicular traffic. This tree was not growing in the city right of way. It originated from her property. When a privately owned tree falls into the city right of way my crew removes the portion obstructing the right of way. If this occurs outside of regular work hours I bill the property owner so the tax payers do not incur costs of staff overtime to deal with private property trees. There were also 2 Streets employees included in this bill, I assume to block off Cliff St while my crew was working. I recall that wires were brought down as well and NYSEG trucks would have been there too to assist. Ms Jastran's argument to me was basically that since she had to pay a tree company to remove the rest of the tree (the portion across her driveway and leaning on her neighbor's house) she should not also have to pay us since we did not remove the whole tree for her. I told her this was our policy, I have sent out several bills like this over the last few years, and if she wanted the bill waived she should contact the superintendent and /or the board of public works.

Appeal of Water Bill for Ithaca Children's Garden at 600 Block Taug__hannock Boulevard — Proposed Resolution WHEREAS, in 2004 the City of Ithaca DPW Water & Sewer Division installed a water service line in the Ithaca Children's Garden. DPW installed roughly 300 -LF of 2 -inch diameter K Copper water service line along with a curb valve, 8 unions, and a tee fitting for a yard hydrant, and WHEREAS, subsequent to the installation of ICG's water service it was discovered that the 2- inch K copper tubing we had purchased was flawed, in that the outside diameter (OD) did not meet industry specifications because it was slightly smaller. This smaller OD is a problem where the pipe is coupled (joined) using compression fittings which are all designed for standard OD tubing. We have encountered leaks from loose fittings in one other locations where this pipe had also been used, and WHEREAS, DPW W &S Div. has repaired leaks on at least two compression connections at the ICG since 2004, and we recognize that there are at least 8 more locations where this run of copper tubing is joined with compression couplings where potential leaks are a high probability, and WHEREAS, DPW plans to locate existing leaks and schedule repairs for the current leaks on this service line in the Fall of 2015, and WHEREAS, the ICG is requesting relief for the years 2013 -2015 where the water billing is above a previous annual average of 168 -HCF, and WHEREAS, the difference between the previous annual average and the billing for 2013 of 177 -HCF is 9 -HCF and for the 2104 billing of 805 -HCF is 637 -HCF, and WHEREAS, 9 -HCF at the 2013 water rate of $4.73 /HCF totals $42.57, and 637 -HCF at the 2014 water rate of $5.11 /HCF totals $3,255.07, and 2015 readings to date have not yet exceeded the 168 -HCF, and WHEREAS, the ICG has been paying the bill all along, and WHEREAS, Water Department Staff recommends to the Board of Public Works based upon the forgoing that actual metered consumption above an annual 168 -HCF will not be billed until the DPW completes repairs on the water service line we originally installed in 2004, and all consumption above 168 -HCF over the last two years be refunded, now therefore be it RESOLVED, That a refund of $42.57 be made for 2013, a refund of $3,255.07 be made for 2014, and future use above 168 -HCF in 2015 not be billed to the Ithaca Children's Garden account #7717306400.

We thought it was a situation with our hydrants leaking and being inadvertently left on by visitors. We set up a payment plan with the city to pay our extraordinary water bill, $3,500 more than our usual annual expense. (Historically our water use has averaged closer to $1,000). This year we capped our leaking water hydrants and still our water usage carried on at elevated levels. Our current water bill is $1,204 as of June 11, when typically this represents our cost for an entire season. Erik said he knows the fittings that were installed by the city have failed in other locations and given the lines were installed by the city, the city would work with us to fix the leaking fittings as soon as possible (which we eagerly await.) In the meantime, I reach out to you and the Board of Public Works to request: 1. repeal of the surplus water bill amount beginning last year above and beyond our annual average and 2. establishment of a flat rate based on our historical averages prior to 2014 until the leak can be fixed. We are a small organization and a cost of this nature is creating a significant hardship for us to bear. And, ultimately, we are eager to resolve the underlying issue of water leakage as environmental stewardship is central to our mission. I appreciate your consideration of this request and we eagerly await word on next steps.

Kathy, My summer students have developed an idea to sell ice cream and cold bottled water from an adult tricycle in Stewart Park. The equipment needed will be supplied by Ithaca Bike Rental. I am Program Coordinator of IBR. This is a program of the Ithaca Youth Bureau. The trike will be equipped with a small freezer mounted in the rear basket and a small cooler mounted in the front basket. Students of the program will manage the business with my guidance. All proceeds will benefit IBR. Would it be a similar request in order to sell hot dogs as a fund raiser at the IYB? Please let me know what you think.

Hi all, Just a quick note to let you know that I spoke with Nancy Oltz from TCAT today and she is rather concerned about the proposed locations and dwell times. I've asked her to send me an email with more detail, but it basically boils down to there not being enough room in those locations to allow a bus to sit for 15 minutes. Downtown, we may be able to work something out where they use the Green Street stop, particularly the space east of the ped signal /bump out. Collegetown, I don't know where else to go. I'm out tomorrow and next week. Kevin, if you have a few minutes and want to give Bob a heads up that this will be a part of the BPW discussion on Aug 10th, he would probably appreciate it. Perhaps he can come up with an alternative Collegetown location.

I asked to put it on the BPW agenda for Aug 10th. I've referred it to TCAT, but haven't yet heard back. My only concern was whether the dwell time would conflict with transit operations. Krin and I are sitting down tomorrow morning to review. Kevin, if you could take the lead on CA, I'd appreciate it. I'll work toward a BPW resolution to recommend to Council. Bob called again today. He is very anxious to get on CA in August and to Council in Sept., because they would like to start operations in early Sept. I didn't promise anything, but told him we'd try.

Mr. Spock (Star Trek character) From: Tim Logue Sent: Thursday, July 16, 2015 4:02 PM To: Aaron Lavine; Michael Thome Cc: Kevin Sutherland; JoAnn Cornish Subject: Application for bus service Hi Ari, Mike, Kevin and JoAnn, I sat down with Bob Nicholas this morning and he submitted the attached application to operate a bus within the City. In accordance with Section 346 -31, his company needs Common Council (or its designee) approval to operate and stop within the City limits. The Big Red Bullet is a proposed service similar to the Campus to Campus service, but at a lower price. I've asked him to provide a detailed description, as per question 9, of the proposed operations, and asked him for the operator's insurance, naming the City as additionally insured. I told him we would also need to see copies of any USDOT and NYSDOT operating permits /licenses. His company would like to start operations in September. I told him that if he hurries, he might be able to get on the CA agenda in August and to Council in September, but that if there were any delays or additional time to review, it would more likely be the following months. I would like to coordinate with TCAT, but otherwise, I don't see any problems. Do you have any concerns? Can you provide guidance on City approvals and /or the format for the permit. Ari, we may have developed a "permit" with Kandikile for the M.E.S.S Express a number of years ago, but we might have just had the Council resolution and a follow up letter.

THE CITY OF ITHACA HAS INSTITUTED A STORM WATER USER FEE (TAX) ON ALL THE BUILDING OWNERS IN THE CITY. I FEEL THIS FEE IS UNFAIR TO ME AS A PROPERTY OWNER. THE LETTER THAT WAS SENT OUT TO THE PROPERTY OWNERS CLEARY STATES THAT THE FEE FOR COMMERCIAL PROPERTIES IS BASED UPON THE "IMPERVIOUS SURFACE" OF THE SAID PROPERTY. THIS SURFACE IS IN DIRECT CORRELATION TO THE AMOUNT OF WATER THAT ENTERS THE CITY'S STORM SEWER SYSTEM. SO THE LARGER THE LOT AND OR BUILDING THE MORE WATER THAT ENTERS THE SYSTEM AND THE MORE YOU PAY. IN THE LETTER THAT WAS SENT OUT IT STATES " IT MEANS THAT ALL PROPERTY OWNERS HELP TO PAY FOR THIS INFRASTRUCTURE IN PROPORTION TO THE AMOUNT OF DEMAND THEY PLACE ON IT" I THINK WE CAN ALL AGREE ON THAT IS WHAT THE FEE IS BASED UPON. LAST YEAR THE CITY STARTED "THE COMPLETE STREET PROJECT" ON OLD ELMIRA ROAD WHERE MY BUILDING IS LOCATED. AS SOON AS THE PROJECT WAS STARTED THEY DID AWAY WITH THE STORM SEWERS THAT SERVICED OUR PROPERTIES. WE NOW OF COURSE HAVE FLOODING ISSUES ON OUR PROPERTY. I WAS TOLD BY THE CITY ENGINEERS THAT THE WATER IS "OUR PROBLEM" NOW AND WE WOULD BE FINANCIALLY RESPONSIBLE TO TAKE CARE OF THE PROBLEM (WHICH BY THE WAY WE DID NOT HAVE UNTIL THIS PROJECT STARTED). THE QUOTES WE ARE GETTING TO ALLEVIATE THE PROBLEM IS IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD OF $10,000.00. 50 MY QUESTION IS HOW CAN YOU EXPECT ME TO PAY A TAX FOR A SERVICE THAT I DO NOT RECEIVE AND WILL HAVE TO SHELL OUT MY OWN MONEY TO FIX A PROBLEM THAT THE CITY CREATED? AND ONE OTHER THING IN THE BEGINNING OF THE LETTER IT STATES THAT "IT'S A MORE FAIR AND ENVIRONMENTALLY FRIENDLY METHOD OF PAYING" ENVIRONMENTALLY FRIENDLY, WHAT DOES THAT MEAN EXACTLY? AND IT SAYS THE HOMES WILL PAY A FEE OF $12.00 ON EACH WATER BILL WHICH IS HALF OF WHAT WAS PAID THROUGH THERE TAXES WHICH MEANS THAT EACH PROPERTY OWNER SHOULD HAVE A REDUCTION IN THERE TAXES OF $24.00 BECAUSE THAT AMOUNT IS ALREADY IN THE TAX BILL SO IT'S DOUBLE DIPPING. I'VE ATTACHED SOME PHOTOS OF THE FRONT OF OUR PROPERTY SO YOU MAY SEE THE EXTENT OF THE WATER WHICH AS I STATED NEVER HAPPENED IN THE 23 YEARS I'VE OWNED THIS BUILDING. YOURS: MICHAEL WELLS 207 ELMIRA RD. 277 -4727 Michael Wells, 207 Elmira Rd. ti3Fz Petition to Restrict Parking on Bridge Street in the City of Ithaca We, the undersigned homeowners and residents on Bridge Street in the City of Ithaca do hereby petition the Board of Public Works to implement the following parking restrictions on Bridge Street: No Parking Noon to 9 PM, May 1 to Sept 30, This action is in response to a growing number of rude, loud, inconsiderate visitors who use Bridge Street as a parking lot and launch pad for partying and cliff jumping in Six Mile Creek. By making the restrictions seasonal and for only part of the day we allow sufficient parking for locals who wish to hike in Six Mile Creek. These restrictions will apply every day of the week between May 1 and September 30 and only to the east side of the. street (the west side of the street will remain No Parking Anytime).

New parking pay stations have been installed in the Downtown and Collegetown areas and have the capability to use coupon codes to provide discounted parking. We would like to suggest implementing a validation program for merchants only in the Downtown/Commons area. This validation program would work as follows: 1. A merchant receives a one -time use code and distributes it to a customer to their store to be used on the customer's next visit. 2. The customer returns to downtown on another day and uses the code at a pay station to park on the street for up to two hours. 3. The merchant is sent an invoice for the customer's on- street parking fee at a discounted rate of $35 per hour. The current regular on- street parking rate is $1.50 per hour. 4. The merchants would be charged for only the codes that are used. Parking would be free for their customers. 5. Marketing for this "Next Visit On Us" could be easily done through the merchants and signage that is displayed at participating merchant locations that have pay stations in their areas. I would also recommend that we continue the Tracer Tickets and Mayor's Coin program for parking in the garages. Currently our parking rate in downtown garages is $1.00 per hour or $7.00 per day. We sell one -hour Tracer Tickets and Mayor's Coins for $.65 per hour for use in the garages. As part of the Merchant Validation Program, we suggest also selling Tracer Tickets to merchants at an additionally discounted rate of $.50 per hour for garage parking. I believe that this will show the City's commitment to the merchants of our community that if we all work together, we can keep people coming back to the Commons for years to come. Thank you for your consideration of such a program. FN/kds "An Equal Opportunity Employer with a commitment to workforce diversification." 136-
