B. Request to Amend Capital Project for Boiler Replacement
Youth Bureau Director Cohen presented a request to amend
the current GIAC Renovation Capital Project by $20,000
for the purchase of a new boiler. Cohen explained that
recently the GIAC boiler failed, and it has been
estimated that it will take three weeks to repair at a
cost of $10,000, with no guarantee against future
failure. Cohen explained that because the heating season
5
BUDGET & ADMINISTRATION COMMITTEE MEETING SEPTEMBER 21, 1994
will start very soon, a decision on the boiler must be
made at tonight' s meeting.
Cohen stated that the boiler is 40 years old.
Superintendent of Public Works Gray agreed with the
replacement of the boiler. The Committee agreed that the
boiler should be replaced instead of repaired.
City Controller Cafferillo stated that the funds would be
advanced by the General Fund to pay for the project until
debt financing could be obtained in 1995 . The Committee
agreed this would be an emergency purchase could the
weather turn vastly colder in the next few days . The
following motion was made:
WHEREAS, a portion of the GIAC boiler recently failed, and it
has been determined that it would take three weeks to repair
the boiler, and it would cost $10,000 to replace the existing
portion of the boiler with no guarantee against future
failure, and
WHEREAS, the heating season begins shortly and heat has
already been needed in the building for various programs, and
WHEREAS, the cost of a new steam boiler has been estimated at
$19, 724 and will take two weeks to order and install; now,
therefore, be it
RESOLVED, That Capital Project #248 be amended by an amount
not to exceed $20,000 for the purpose of purchasing and
installing said boiler, and be it further
RESOLVED, That this amendment shall be funded by advancing the
monies from the General Fund until financing can be

C. Request to Amend Youth Bureau Acoustics/HVAC Project
Youth Bureau Director Cohen, Planning Director VanCort
and Superintendent of Public Works Gray presented a
request to amend the Youth Bureau Acoustics/HVAC Capital
Project. Cohen explained that from the time the Youth
Bureau building was built, the building has had problems
with the acoustics and the HVAC system. He explained
that the HVAC and acoustics problems have caused limited
use of the Youth Bureau building and its programs and
caused many staff complaints .
6
BUDGET & ADMINISTRATION COMMITTEE MEETING SEPTEMBER 21, 1994
Planning Director VanCort stated that the acoustic and
HVAC problems in the building can all be attributed to
various shortcuts that were taken during the original
design of the Youth Bureau Building. VanCort discussed
these problems with the Committee. He explained that an
acoustics remediation project was approved several years
ago, but was never done because of problems with the
proposal. He explained that approximately a year ago
Mayor Nichols recommended bringing forward a proposal on
the acoustic project and a proposal on the HVAC system
project. VanCort stated that the HVAC system proposal
was prepared by Gent Engineering, and the Acoustics
proposal was prepared by Demjanec & Associates.
A representative from the Demjanec firm and a
representative from the Gent firm presented the proposals
to the Committee. A discussion concerning the schematic
designs followed. The following three schematic designs

to examine the proposals . No formal action was taken.
5 . Department of Public Works
A. Water/Sewer - Request to Provide Capital Reserve Funds
for Watershed Expenditures
Superintendent of Water and Sewer Fabbroni presented a
request to expend $10, 000 from Capital Reserve #26 to

Tompkins County Soil and Water Conservation Department,
Ithaca Sub-district USGS, and the Town of Dryden will be
establishing a monitoring and sampling station on Six
Mile Creek. He explained that the sampling data will
allow Council to make informed future property purchases
in the Six Mile Creek area.

purchases, and capital reserve funds, the following
motion was made:

Soil and Water Conservation District, Ithaca Subdistrict USGS,
and Town of Dryden have entered into an agreement to establish
a monitoring and sampling station on Six Mile Creek, and

8
BUDGET & ADMINISTRATION COMMITTEE MEETING SEPTEMBER 21, 1994
WHEREAS, the Department of Public Works has determined that
the information gained from this monitoring and sampling
station will be vital to future land purchase and control
decisions involving the Six Mile Creek Watershed; now,
therefore, be it
RESOLVED, That $10, 000 of Capital Reserve #26 will be used for
this purpose because the information gained will be key to
land purchase and control decisions in the future.
The motion passed 4-0 .
B. Water/Sewer - Request to Transfer Funds for Various
Equipment Repairs
Superintendent of Water and Sewer Fabbroni presented a
request to transfer $29, 300 to various equipment
maintenance accounts to repair a loader, backhoe, and a
bulldozer. Fabbroni explained that the repairs are a
result of a deferred maintenance plan for the past five
years and the City' s increase in water and sewer activity
during 1994.
Fabbroni stated that the repairs were unanticipated, but
the funds can be derived from within existing budget
lines . After a discussion concerning the repairs, the
following motion was made:

C. Request to Provide Contingency Funds for Transit Budget
Amendment
Superintendent of Public Works Gray presented a request
to transfer $49, 000 of contingency funds to the Transit
Budget to address a variety of unanticipated expenses.
Gray explained that staff reviewed the City' s Transit
budget and expenditures and found a number of budget
shortfalls and expenses that were unanticipated. He
explained that the City' s share of the Gadabout facility
costs for the Ithaca Tompkins Transit Center ( ITTC) were
never placed in the 1994 budget; this share amounts to
$37, 339 . Gray stated that the City' s bus fleet has had
three transmission failures in 1994, resulting in a cost
of $31,905 . He stated that the City' s ADA Program costs
for 1994 will be $7, 000. Also, Gray stated that the
City' s share of a new ITTC shop truck will be $4,244.
Superintendent Gray did state that staff was able to
reduce various other Transit accounts to free up $31,488,
that can be used to offset some of the unanticipated
expenses . He stated that the net request is for $49, 000
from the contingency account. Gray stated that the
other participants in the ITTC will be including their
share of all of the above costs, except for the City' s
engine/transmission repairs .
It was noted that this transfer of $49,000 would reduce
the unrestricted contingency account to about $15,000 .
After a discussion concerning the requests, the Gadabout
funding from the City, and the Transit budget, the
following motion was made:
WHEREAS, the 1994 Transit Budget has been reviewed by staff,
and it has been revealed that a number of unanticipated and
unbudgeted items will need to be funded for the remainder of
the year, and
WHEREAS, the following unanticipated expenses have been
determined, and will be made during 1994 :
General Service Increase to cover
Gadabout share of facility $37,339
Engine Overhaul/Transmission Repairs 31,905
ADA Program cost increase 7,000
Share of Shop Truck 4,244
Various decreases in other
Transit accounts (31,488)
Total increase required $49,000
10
BUDGET & ADMINISTRATION COMMITTEE MEETING SEPTEMBER 21, 1994
now, therefore, be it
RESOLVED, That an amount not to exceed $49, 000 be transferred
from Account A1990 Unrestricted Contingency to Account A5630-
435 Transit Contractual for the purposes of funding the
various unanticipated Transit expenses .
The motion passed 4-0 .
D. Request to Amend City Court Architectural Contract
Superintendent Gray stated that the City is currently
closing out the City Court Facility construction project.
Gray explained that the original City Court architectural
contract was approved in July, 1992 for $45,000 with
Perkins Eastman and Partners . Gray stated that it has
now been determined that the contract needs to be amended
by an addition $28,000 for additional design phase
reimbursables and increased construction phase services.
He stated that the total contract would now be $73, 000.
The Committee agreed to examine the contract material and
place this item on the COW meeting agenda for next week.
The Committee took no formal action on this issue.
E. Traffic Study of University Avenue
Superintendent Gray discussed the University Avenue
ownership issue with the Committee. City Attorney
Guttman stated that the City and Cornell are trying to
determine who owns University Avenue. Guttman stated
that the road is in need of repairs. He stated that the
portion of University Avenue that is in conflict is
between the Art Museum and Beebe Lake. Guttman discussed
the problems with this road with the Committee.
Superintendent Gray stated that an engineer's report to
determine the cost involved in fixing the road will cost
the owner of the road $20,000. He explained that Cornell
and the City are each being asked to pay $10,000 for the
report.
Mayor Nichols stated that Cornell should be paying for
the entire amount of the study. A discussion concerning
the University Avenue problems followed. Cornell has had
control of the road and performed maintenance on
University Avenue for several years . The Committee
agreed that the City will not pay for the cost of the
engineer' s report because it feels that the road belongs
to Cornell, and that the discussions between the City and
11
BUDGET & ADMINISTRATION COMMITTEE MEETING SEPTEMBER 21, 1994
Cornell will continue. No formal action was taken.
F. Traffic Engineer Update
Superintendent Gray stated that the Department of Public
Works has interviewed and selected an individual for the

like to negotiate with the individual on salary. He
stated that the salary range for this position is $32,000
to $42,000 . The consensus of the Committee was to allow

on the COW agenda for next week. No formal action was
taken.

Building Commissioner Eckstrom and Fire Chief Wilbur
discussed possible changes to the City' s Smoke/Heat
Detection Ordinance with the Committee.
Commissioner Eckstrom stated that a task force was
established to review and recommend various changes to
the City' s Smoke Detection Ordinance. He presented the
Budget and Administration Committee with a draft Smoke
Detection Ordinance. Eckstrom explained that the task
force discussed the ordinance and felt that as long as
the cost to implement the new ordinance was reasonable,
and the fire protection was greatly increased, then the
changes were recommended. He stated that the new draft
changes the scope of the ordinance by providing more
restrictions on multiple dwelling units and fewer
restrictions on two-family dwellings . Eckstrom stated
that the new ordinance would be easier for installers to
understand.
Fire Chief Wilbur stated that he was pleased with the
draft as far as life safety issues are concerned. Wilbur
stated that the new ordinance achieves a higher level of
safety, which is greatly needed as documented by a number
of recent fires . A discussion concerning the ordinance
followed.
Eckstrom stated that the new ordinance would apply to
existing structures as well as new construction for all
city residents . He explained that the issue respecting
costs to implement the new requirements has been resolved
and that the task force is in full agreement with the new
draft.
