Conley, Mayor, Chairman IURA/CDA Anne Jones, IURA/CDA Stuart Stein, IURA/CDA ALSO: Ron Osher, 312 Program Sharon Brown, 312 Program Tom Hoard, 312 Program Amy South, CD Staff Roz Williams, CD Staff Kathe Evans, CD Staff Thys Van Cort, Planning Art Pearce, INHS Press The meeting was called to order at 4:00 P.M. I. Approval of Minutes 4E' Stein MOVED to approve the minutes of the Jan. 15, 1979 and April 25, 1979, regular meetings and the special meeting held May 9, 1979. Jones SECONDED and the MOTION PASSED unanimously. II. Small Cities - 2nd year application: Williams explained that the 2nd year application was the same as the original 3 year Small Cities Application. It includes INHS rehabili-- tation services, rehabilitation loans and grants, 312 administration, neighborhood improvements, mini-repair program, West State Street renovation,and rehabilitation of GIAC. She said that the application had to be in by June 29th and that due to the late notice given by HUD of the deadline, R. Augenstern of STERB had speeded up the A-95 review. Van Cort has drafted a letter to HUD from the Mayor complaining about the short notice and said other communities have had the same problem. Stein asked if there is anything in this year's contingency that deals with the possibility of buying school [buildings and Williams said no but that this subject is being considered and discussed with developers. Conley said he would like to take a look at federally funded projects that will later entail long term City maintenance. He specified the swimming pool project and asked if it might be possible to have the school system operate the pool if the City built it with C.D. funds. MINUTES IURA/CDA May 21 , 1979 Page 2 - Schedule: Evans reminded IURA/CDA members of the upcoming public hearings: Tuesday, May 29, at 7:30 in the Cooperative Extension Building. (This is also a CAC meeting where the performance of both the Entitlement and Small Cities Program will be discussed) . The second public hearing is on Thursday, May 31 , at 7:d0 in Common Council Chambers co-hosted by Common Council and IURA/CDA, where Council will vote on the application. Conley mentioned that Council was upset about the special meeting but understood it could not be helped because of the late notice of the application deadline. Evans has sent Council members rough drafts of the 2nd year application for review before the meetings. III. Contracts - RPPW Retainer: Van Cort recommended that the IURA renew the contract with Raymond, Parish Pine and Weiner and stressed the help that Nat Parish had been during the IC drafting of the original application. Conley mentioned the help given with the UDAG application when Parish joined them at a meeting in New York City. Stein asked about the method of payment under this contract. Van Cort said the IURA/CDA would be billed for time and materials up to an upset and that Parish was in the process of sending a new fee schedule. He said that in any case the Mayor could not sign the contract without approval of the City Attorney. Jones asked what the upset on the contract had been. Van Cort said that last time it had been $5000. Jones asked if the money came from CD funds and Van Cort said yes, from Small Cities Adminsitration. Stein said it appeared that the contract specified higher charges than Van Cort claimed and Van Cort said he would check past bills. Stein stressed he did not think the charges were high for the services. Jones MOVED to renew the IURA/CDA contract with RPPW not to exceed $5000 and upon approval of the City Attorney. Stein SECONDED and MOTION PASSED unanimously. /' • MINUTES 4 ` IURA/CDA May 21 , 1979 Page 3 - 1st Baptish Church Williams introduced a memo from Jon Meigs in which he states that al- though the status of litigation between the ACLU and HUD (regarding separation between Church and State) remains the same, he requests that IURA/CDA sign a contract with the 1st Baptish Church in preparation of settlement of the case. He has written HUD asking that the 1st Baptist Church and the A.M.E. Zion Church be recognized as historic landmarks rather than religious buildings. Conley suggested the contract be signed as the IURA/CDA has already agreed to do the work. Stein asked if there was a contingency clause whereby the City would not be responsible for the money if the case was settled against the churches. Williams said this can be included in the contract. Van Cort suggested a clause saying that the contract does not go into effect until the legal questions regarding it are resolved to allow the City to use CD funds for restoration of Church property. Stein MOVED to approve the resolution with the above contingency clause, Jones SECONDED and the MOTION was unanimously PASSED. IV. Neighborhood Technicians Williams introduced a resolution that the IURA/CDA authorize the Mayor to sign a contract with INHS to operate the Neighborhood Technicai- Assistance program. Pearce said that since the public hearings a year ago, the INHS has rea- lized that it is more desirable to run the program from their headquarters on Green Street and stressed the importance of working closely with neigh- borhood residents. Conley agreed that he thought this would be a good alternative. Pearce said he prefers beginning with one long term (18 months) tech- nician and bring on another employee when necessary. The contract will use 5th year entitlement funds. Pearce is confident that the INHS Board of Directors will approve the proposal . Jones asked what happened to the re-definition of the job descriptions. • MINUTES IURA/CDA May 21 , 1979 Page 4 South said this was now delegated to Pearce but added that she feels that the project summary as presented today accurately represents the redefini- tion of the job description. Van Cort said HUD and the Urban Reinvestment Taskforce recommend the addition of Neighborhood Technicians to round out the INHS program. Stein MOVED to approve the contract. Jones SECONDED but asked what the mechanism was for post evaluation of the technic n's work. Pearce said that success will be measured in terms of growth and opera- tion of block and merchant associations. Jones asked if INHS could make a report in six months to the IURA/CDA. Pearce said that INHS already reports periodically to the IURA/CDA and that the addition of this program would not be a problem. Jones asked that a clause be included in the contract to include periodic reports. , A vote was taken and MOTION PASSED unanimously. V. Reprogramming and Revisions - Parallel Use: Williams discussed a letter to James Sweeney and the Appendix A to the application presenting the technical assistance project of the INHS. She said that the parallel use proposal ($30,000) had been re-programmed, $20,000 to Contingency, and $10,000 to the Citywide Materials Grant. The Land Bank part of the House Recylcling line has been dropped due to HUD criticism of inability to calculate low income benefit. She mentioned that she had tried to reprogram in areas that could later be reapplied to Parallel Use Projects. Jones asked when the money for parallel use would be available. Williams answered that after HUD approval of the 5th year application, the 10% contingency provision will be in effect and the IURA/CDA can reprogram locally. (The 10% contingency is $20,000) . The remaining $10,000 could be available through reproamming which would take about 50 days. Stein asked if the resolution to reprogram has to go before the CAC or Common Council . Williams said no because it is not a new activity. MINUTES IURA/CDA May 21 , 1979 Page 5 Conley suggested that as part of the resolution that CAC and Common Council be informed of the reprogramming and revisions at their next meeting and that an explanation for the changes be included. Jones MOVED to pass the resolution with the above provision, Stein SECONDED and MOTION PASSED unanimously. • - Land Banking: Williams suggested returning the proceeds of the sale of 213 South Plain St. ($22,735) to the INHS Land-Banking Contract or INHS Rehab loans. Conley stated that the intention of this would be to use the money for House Recycling. Stein MOVED to vote on the principle of the motion with intention to invest the money to earn interest (savings account) and to keep it in housing rehab and resell under the loans line. The details of wording would be left with the staff. Jones SECONDED and MOTION PASSED. 4 VI. Reports - 312 Van Cort said that Thomas Hoard had reported about the progress of the 312 program to the Planning Department as required by his contract. Hoard said that Ron Osher and Sharon Brown had been busy setting up the 312 program but that additional funds are required for architectural and legal assistance. H e said that the City Attorney did not have the time to devote to the programs needs and that the appraisal fees have doubled since the program had initially been discussed. With regards to archi- tectural fees, Hoard said that some of the costs can be passed to the borrower but that in the case of low income persons, fees must be absorbed by the program. Conley asked if the program was financially secure for the moment. Hoard said that the lack of an attorney is holding up their program. Van Cort recommended that Hoard be authorized to make claims on the funds. Stein preferred making a nominal decision at present to get the program started. He asked where the money would be coming from. Williams said it would come from Small Cities Administration funds. Conley asked how much money would be needed immediately. ti C MINUTES IURA/CDA May 21 , 1979 Page 6 Van Cort suggested an initial $2000 to cover an attorney's contract. Stein MOVED to allocate $2000 immediately for an initial retainer fee. A proposed budget for additional funds will be brought before the IURA/CDA at the next meeting. The meeting adjourned at 5:30 and the IURA/CDA went into Executive Session. 4[ MEMORANDUM TO: IURA/CDA FROM: Jon Meig SUBJECT: CD Histo c Preservation Grants Update DATE: May 21 , 1979 Two of our projects - St. James and 1st Baptist -. have been held up by HUD because they involve questions around the constitutional separations between church and state. The ACLU has challenged HUD on some midwestern city's CD project, and HUD Washington's lawyers are preparing an opinion which may satisfy the ACLU, but the whole question may have to be resolved by the Supreme Court before such projects can proceed. I have no indication when the solicitor's opinion can be expected, though I have explained the problem and its urgency to a number of people in the preservation hierarchy in hopes that they might be able to exert a little friendly persuasion on their HUD colleagues, Both churches are aware of the problem, and on Buffalo's suggestion are providing me with letters expressing the urgency of their need, which I will forward in further support of a request for timely action by HUD. .

Deputy Regional Adm. HUD Buffalo Area Office Suite 800, Statler Bldg. Buffalo, New York 14202 ATTENTION: Anna Walker Dear Mr. Sweeney, In response to our conversation, enclosed are the parts of the 5th year - application that we discussed requiring changes: INHS Services and Neighborhood Technical Assistance. The information included on the Project Sheet for neighborhood technicians has been retyped as an attachment. In addition, we took full credit for low income benefit for INNS services. After considering the nature of your problem with the Land Bank and Parallel use proposal , we have decided that our only alternative is to reprogram Parallel uses and drop the Land Bank part of the House Recycling . line. We therefore proposed to reprogram parallel use .($30,000) to: - Contingency ($20,000) • Citywide Materials Grant ($10,000) We have had several agencies express interest in "parallel use" in the Central School (target area school on Buffalo and Albany Streets) : • They are INHS and Infant Care and Resource Center, and a Senior Citizens Center. On the other hand, we can't guarantee at this time that they will be the ones that actually qualify for the grants. We still believe the "parallel use proposals" as outlined in the application is a useful and valuable tool in preserving neighborhoods. • lc ) • James Sweeney May 14, 1979 page two Since the Citywide Materials Grant program is presently under review and has been discussed at public hearings during the 4th application process, we will send you the reprogramming after the Ithaca Urban Renewal meeting on Monday, May 21 , 1979.

HUD Buffalo Area Office Suite 800, Statler Bldg. • Buffalo, New York 14202 ATTENTION: Anna Walker • Dear Mr. Sweeney, 4 In response to our conversation, enclosed are the parts of the 5th year application that we discussed requiring changes: INHS'Services and Neighborhood Technical Assistance. The information included on the Project Sheet for neighborhood technicians has been retyped as an attachment. In addition, we took full credit for low income benefit for INNS services. After considering the nature of your problem with the Land Bank and Parallel use proposal , we have decided that our only alternative is to reprogram Parallel uses and drop the Land Bank part of the House Recycling line. We therefore proposed to reprogram parallel use ($30,000) to: Contingency ($20,000) • • Citywide Materials Grant ($10,000) We have had several agencies express interest in "parallel use" in the Central School (target area school on Buffalo and Albany Streets) . They are INNS and Infant Care and Resource Center, and a Senior Citizens Center. On the other hand, we can't guarantee at this time that they will be the ones that actually qualify for the grants. We still believe the "parallel use proposals" as outlined in the application is a useful and valuable tool in preserving neighborhoods. • 4 ' James Sweeney 14, 1979 • page two • Since the City;: Materials Grant program is presently under review and has been discussed at public hearings during the 4th application process, we will send you the reprogramming after the Ithaca Urban Renewal meeting on Monday, May 21 , 1979.

The assistance includes: assisting residents in developing block strategies for neighborhood revitalization; increasing citizen input into the com- munity development process; developing linkages with public and private agencies; and increasing merchant input in the revitalization of West State Street. • Door-to-door contact with residents will lead to block meetings. The creation of a block-by-block revitalization strategy will be the initial focal point for such gatherings. Building on the relationship developed at such meetings , attempts will be made to form civic associations to deal with the full range of Community Development concerns. Door-to-door contact will be made with merchants in an effort to form a merchant's association to represent the West State Street commercial in- terests and to insure their input into and participation in the revitali- zation process. In order to insure that the interests of the residential and commercial groups in the Northside/Southside neighborhood are articulated, and to encourage communication between the residents and commercial groups, the project will work towards developing an overall Northside/Southside Neigh- borhood Organization. This neighborhood organization will be a coalition of the various residential civic associations and the merchants association. II. BUDGET The budget for this project is $25,000.

IL e } APPENDIX A SCOPE OF SERVICES I. PROJECT NARRATTVE: Ithaca Neighborhood Housing Services will employ two organizers who will provide technical assistance to residents in the Northside and Southside neighborhoods. The assistance includes: assisting residents in developing block strategies for neighborhood revitalization; increasing citizen input into the community development process; developing linkages with public and private agencies; and increasing merchant input in the revitalization of West State Street. The organizers will make door-to-door contact with residents which will lead to block meetings. The creation of a block-by-block revitalization strategy will be the initial focal point for such gatherings. Building on the relationship developed at such meetings, the organizers will attempt to help residents form civic associations to deal with the full range of Community Development concerns. The organizers will work door-to-door with merchants in an effort to form a merchants association to represent the West State Street commercial interests and to insure their input into and participation in the revitalization process. In order to insure that the interests of the residential and commercial groups in the Northside/Southside neighborhood are articulated, and to encourage communication between the residents and commercial groups, the organizers will work towards developing an overall Northside/Southside Neighborhood Organization. This neighborhood organization will be a coalition of the various residential civic associations and the merchants association. TI. BUDGET The budget for this project is $25,000. SPECIAL MEETING IURA/CDA May 31, 1979 PRESENT: Mayor Edward J. Conley, IURA Chairman ' Anne Jones, IURA/CDA Stuart Stein, IURA/CDA Clarence Reed, IURA/CDA Rosalind Williams, CD Staff Amy South, CD Staff Thys Van Cort, Planning - Press • The meeting was called to order at 12:30 P.M. I. A Waiver was approved as due notification of the meeting had not been given. II. Approval of 2nd Year Application Williams introduced a revision of the second year Small cities application that would de-emphasize the pool for GIAC. Conley repeated his concerns about using federal money to fund a project that would require ongoing City maintenance. He again voiced his opinion that inquiries should be made into the feasibility of 'giving' the pool to either the School District or to the YMCA with the stipulation that it would be open to the public. - r Reed asked how much the Cass Park pool was being used. ' Conley said it was used to full capacity but that it had the disadvantage of being a seasonal and recreational pool . The new swimming pool , if devel- oped, would be covered, heated and multi purpose. He said that the City needs this kind of public pool but he estimated that the maintenance costs would run to $100,000 a year. Reed said that because of the City budget constraints, this would be impossible, Some of the costs would include energy, life guards, chemicals and insurance. Conley said that if the pool project is deleted, a whole new application must be made. He suggested putting it on hold until other organizations, including the School District and the YMCA had been approached. Jones said that Rochester had had the same kind of problems and suggested con- tacting them to see how they managed. Van Cort said that if the application is approved, the money designated for the Pool Will-have-to-be spent building it. : He said the pool must be deleted from the-" application{ and the tunds reprogrammed. Williams said she wants to stress the recreational aspects such as renovation and lighting, de-emphasizing the pool without dropping it from the application. Reed agreed saying he thought it best to remain flexible in case conditions changed. • IURA/CDA May 31 , 1979 Pap 2 , Williams proposed changing the project summary to read as 'additional renovations and sight improvements' . Reed MOVED to accept the proposal . Stein SECONDED. Jones asked if this would be the only change in the application and Williams said yes. A vote was taken and MOTION PASSED unanimously. III GIAC renovations Williams said that. Superintendent of Public Works Robert Dingman would like to begin working on GIAC as the season for exterior work has begun. Conley said that because of the reconsideration of the relocation of the Youth Bureau, and the present confusion of the School District reorganization, nothing has been concluded to date, He said that the IURA can take steps that the City cannot. Williams said she is trying to give Dingman a list of priorities that he can work with in a given :order with some agreement of the cost, Stein asked if Dingman was contracted by CD and asked if the work could be put out to bid to private contractors. Conley said Dingman has a level of expertise not easily matched. Stein suggested identifying the items of work to be done. Williams listed reorganization of office space, safety items such as fire escapes, energy saving devices such as skylights and handicapped access fa- cilities. She said that this leaves out preventive maintenance and exterior renovation. Stein said he thought safety and energy items should be handled first, leaving comfort items such as office renovation until last. Jones suggested that exterior work be done first because of the present con- struction season. Conley asked if there was enough money to begin safety and energy improvements. Williams said that if exterior work was considered low priority, there would be $15,000 available. The entire amount of $90,000 for this year would include the entire project. IURA/CDA May 31 , 1979 4[ : Page 3 Stein asked if the process required specific items to be accompanied with their cost estimates. Van Cort said no, that it was enough to give Dingman a list in priority order with a cost limit of $90,000. Stein questioned whether a private contractor would be cheaper. Van Cort said Dingman does the work of two private firms as he acts both as bidder and sometimes general contractor. Williams proposed that the IURA direct that the specifications be prepared for GIAC according to the following priorities: safety, energy, handicapped access, program, and preventive maintenance and that CD staff he directed to determine specific items that correspond to the priority list. Staff would also work with the BPW and the GIAC Board on implementation of the project. Stein MOVED to accept the proposal , Jones SECONDED and the MOTION PASSED unanimously. • The meeting adjourned at 1 :30 and the Agency went into Executive Session. IL We do waive the 48 hour notice of the May 31 , 1979 meeting of IURA/CDA called for 12:00 noon. • Signed, Mayor Edward J.

TARGET AREA 3.0% 100 % May 1979 �9 4:` 59.5% NORTHSIDE/SOUTHSIDE PROGRAMS 1. INHS Rehabilitation Loans and Grants (101,201,301,402,5101) The high risk loan fund will grow to $700,000 after the 2nd year Small Cities funding. The fund is also being expanded through selling loans to the Neighborhood Housing Services of America, a second mortgage pool. 2. Neighborhood Improvements (105, 305, 311, 406, S106) The budget for Neighborhood Improvements has grown to over $600,000. Past efforts to develop a concept for neighborhood improvements have varied from spot neighborhood initiated projects, to murals, to prototype demonstration streets to a corridor that would provide handicapped access, lighting for safety as well as complementary improvements to housing rehabilitation efforts throughout the neighborhood. There have been several delays over the years due to lack of focus, small sums of monies and lately due to unfortunate false starts. In May, 1979 we hired a firm that we feel has the skills to take past and present concepts, working with the substantial funds we now have available to result in a comprehensive plan that will provide alternatives with cost estimates so that the community can determine its priorities. We have scheduled completion of the design phase by June 30 and Phase I construction to start by September 1, 1979. 3. INNS Administration Housing Services (108, 202, 302, 511, 5102) Funds used to support the administrative component necessary to provide high risk loans to low-income and unbankable people, also produces services that includes rehabilitation technical assistance, housing counseling, and financial counseling. The city contributes approximately one-half of the administrative costs for the basic program as well as additional programs: INNS crew, house recycling, etc. 4. Support Services for Housing Rehabilitation (206) This fund was used to provide a truck and tools for the CHORES Program. It is now in the possession of the INNS crew. NOUTHSIDE/SOUTHSIDE PROGRAMS PAGE 2 It was also used to pay for some of the expenses of the Southside Festival which promoted the neighborhood. Future use of this fund is undetermined. However, it could be used for other promotional activities from newsletters to buttons. Staff suggests that once the Neighborhood Technicians are hired these monies could be used for communications, brochures, etc. for specific neighborhood issues. 5. Code Envorcement/Junk Removal (306, 512) The junk removal fund for the Southside is being used. The funds for the Northside will come in June 1979. 6. 312 Loan Administration (403) A contract has been signed with the Building Department under Tom Hoard's direction to administer the 312 Program. Ron Oshier and Sharon Brown were hired as rehabilitation specialist and finance counselor, respectively. They both received training in this program at a workshop in Washington sponsored by NAHRO, They are presently designing the policies and procedures necessary to obtain loans of $27,000 or less per unit. They think that they can take their first loan applications by mid-summer. 7. Land Banking (405) Land banking was originally invisioned as a multi purpose fund that would allow for acquisition, demolition, rehabilitation and/or resale of delinquent properties to be used for mini parks as well as recycle houses. INNS has used the fund initially to recycle a house (216 S. Plain Street) . Because this type of activity is greatly needed to eliminate delinquent houses that discourage private investments nearby, additional funds (see House Recycling) were requested in the Small Cities application. Land bank can still be used for a range of purposes if needed. 8, Economic Development Study (4111 A market study of West State Street will be initiated in the Fall of 1979 after merchants on West State Street are organized, This study should evaluate the direction for future commercial growth. Designs and plans for the area will also be developed, • NORTHSIDE/SOUTHSIDE PROGRAMS PAGE 3 9. Mini Repair Program (504, S103) The mini repair program is ready to begin. INHS and the Tompkins County Office for the Aging are coordinating the program. Howard Ingram, the former INHS crew leader will be the elderly Repair Program Carpenter. This program is also available to the handicapped and low income female heads of households. 10. Neighborhood. Technical Assistance (506) There have always been a number of problems in the neighborhood that have never received the attention of the entire neighborhood even though they effect individuals and groups in real ways. INHS has identified an area of concern -displacement- that need not remain a threat if the neighborhood could be organized to deal with the potential problem on an aggressive and positive level. There are other concerns that residents have identified but have not had the time to address. The Neighborhood Technical Assistance Program will eventually hire two persons to be constructively creative in organizing the community around program potentials, West State Street revitalization, and community issues. 11. Code Enforcement (510) Funds to pay for a housing inspector for the C. D. neighborhood. This person has been contributed in the past by the city. 12. Home Recycling (S105) The House Recycling Program has been developed by INHS as a solution to derelict houses(see Land Banking) . Operating expenses come from a grant from the NYS Neighborhood Preservation Companies Program. At least three houses have been purchased to date and more are being planned. The fund should enable INHS to recycle at least ten (10) houses in the C. D, neighborhood. 13. Land Banking (307) This land bank line is distinct from land banking mentioned above because this fund was used by the City to rehabilitate 213 South Plain Street which was finally sold in March, 1979. The IURA recently turned over the proceeds from the sale of this house to INHS to rehab and sell more houses. IURA felt that the City did not have the machinery to effectively recycle houses. 5.9% CITYWIDE PROGRAMS 1. Citywide Emergency Grant (404, 502) 2. Citywide Housing (412) These two programs have been combined into the Citywide Direct Grant Program that provides grants to low income homeowners and renters. The grants will average in the $300.00 range. INNS and EOC are administering the program in the target area and citywide respectively. 3. Citywide Sidewalk Program (408) Program was established under the Citywide Housing Program. A contract for administering these funds has not been developed. 4. Citywide Crew Leader (503) • EOC requested funds to continue their CHORES crew leader after their present CSA funds are depleted. The crew will be used Citywide with the Citywide Direct Grant Program. 5. Parallel -Use This program was reprogrammed to contingency and Citywide direct grants when HUD Buffalo office insisted that they could not evaluate the programs benefit to low and moderate income or elimination of slums and blight, unless specific agencies and schools were determined. In light of the incentive nature of the parallel use program, which was established to encourage non-profit agencies to elect a school site over a residential one, we were unable to designate recipients of the grants at the time, although there have been interested groups and agencies. 6. Homeownership Assistance (507) The Homeownership Assistance Program is being developed. The intent is to provide a homeownership subsidy for low-income purchasers of recycled housing. The concept is borrowed from a new rural housing program which grants a subsidy to homeowners which reduces mortgage payments down to 25% of the families income. This program is a complement to house recycling which subsidizes the difference between actual costs and market price. Home ownership assistance would effectively subsidize the difference between market price and 25% of the families income. The subsidy would be returned upon resale, • CITYWIDE PROGRAMS PAGE 2 7. Handicapped Access (508) Beginning meetings with Easter Seals and the former PASDD Inc. to develop a contract. The survey has been completed and plan to publish the results by July, 1979. 8. Citywide House Recycling (509) The program will be similar to INHS's home recycling program except under this program houses will be chosen outside the INHS neighborhood, in areas where the house is strategic to the upgrading of a small neighborhood area, Once rehabilitated, homes would be sold to low- and moderate-income persons with assistance from the homeownership assistance program if necessary. The administrator of the program is unclear at this moment. We originally invisioned the City's rehab. specialist (312 Program) would provide specifications and monitor work while INHS would actually purchase, market and sell the properties. That arrangement has not been totally agreed to. ' 9. Historic Survey 9.0,44 co -ei_ 't, -2, (413) The survey is 70% complete. All work will be finished by July 30, 1979. 10. Economic Development (106) The study analyzed the fiscal and economic potential and implications for C. D. activities, C • PROJECTS UNDERWAY 1. 303 Southside Center A list of improvements was developed by Southside Center Inc. and priced by Bob Boehlecke, the architect. The BPW and the Southside Inc. together worked out priority items to be addressed with the approximately $40,000 remaining in the Neighborhood Facilities budget. The exterior and interior doors have been repaired and the kitchen will soon be totally renewed. 2. S109 GIAC The GIAC Board requested that the City purchase the building. That request will be forwarded to C. C. Wednesday night. In the meantime, plans for renovating the building will proceed similar to the Southside approach, of course as approved by the School Board. 3. 413 and S110 Historic Preservation -. St. James AME Zion Church Funds for this project and 1st Baptist Church have been held up administratively by HUD pending the results of a legal opinion on the constitutionality of supporting church properties through C. D. grants (separation of church and state principle.) 107 Historic Preservation - 1st Baptist Church (See above) 5108 Conway Park This park and Wood Street Park Phase II will be designed and constructed this summer by Bob Leathers. The IURA requested that the design for Conway Park be approved by them before proceeding with implementation. 413 and 514.Historic Preservation r Strand Theater Funds were provided from the Historic Preservation line for restoration of the marquee on the Strand Theater. The work is almost completed. 5107 Wood Street Park II (See Conway Park) PROJECTS UNDERWAY PAGE 2 ir IL 416 Street Improvements II This line was added through an amendment a couple of months ago.

E. The Neighborhood Technicians Prot am will result in p dt� / affjDe t ooti t formation of block assotiationssto work toward neighborhood improvement. 3. Basic Facts and Rimasons for the Determination of No Significant Effects are: A. All repair work will take place on existing structures in long developed areas. It is not expected that repair work will require even temporary relocation of individuals and/or families. B. To observers, repair work will look like normal maintenance and upkeep. C. There will be little if any damage to flora or fauna, and. since the area is a built-up one, there are few native plants and • animals in the area. D. No disruption of public spaces is anticipated through these programs and any disruption in privately owned spaces will be minimal. E. Positive effects are likely to mitigate or reduce whatever negative effects which may occur. Safer and neater dwellings will increase liveability to low income residents of the City.

Conley DATE: May 22 , 1979 G�� SUBJECT: Council Meetings • • This memo is written to try to clear up any confusion which may exist regarding meetings scheduled for the week of May 28th. Due to scheduling conflicts , holidays ,, and other commitments , it has , unfortunately been extremely difficult to schedule the meetings necessary to cover the variety of topics which are coming up in the near future. As a result, it has become necessary to schedule an informal meeting of the Common Council, the IURA, and the Planning Board on May 30th, in addition to a previously scheduled, formal public hearing and Council meeting on May 31st. , Thursday. The Thursday meeting is a requirement of the Community Development regulations as established by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, and is a necessary part of submitting the application for the second year of the 3 Year Small Cities Program. Our notification by HUD of the schedule for applying for the 2nd Year was extremely late, so that we have had virtually no flexibility in scheduling the required hearings. The Wednesday meeting, which is on the Ithaca Center Site, was called so that Council, IURA, and Planning- and Development Board would have the opportunity to meet with a developer whose interest in picking up the Ithaca Center project at the point where O'Brien, Taube, Gardner and Abbott left it in February of this year. It is our impressing that these developers have the experience, the leasing contact, and the financing necessary to make the project go, and I would like to have the opportunity to interview them with the appropriate City agencies . It is ,ay intention, after meeting with the developer, to discuss with Council the alternatives which face the City in this very important project. As the members of the Planning and Development Committee know, we have had a very difficult time in scheduling their meeting, and after much deliberation, finally did arrive at Wednesday, May 30th, as the date for the regular Planning and Development Committee meeting. Unfortunate ly, that was THE day which seemed to me to be most convenient for all involved regarding the Ithaca Center meeting, so for that reason I +, took the liberty of scheduling the Ithaca Center meeting on the night which had previously been scheduled as the Planning and Development Committee meeting. When Alderman Dennis returns to Ithaca I will ask him to reschedule the Planning and Development Committee meeting. I urge those of you who can make the meeting on the Ithaca Center (May 30th, 7: 30 P.M. , Common Council Chambers) to come. I look forward to working on this extremely important project with you. • UPS t+c. 63-P.152t U.S. DEPAF,TMENT OF HOUSING AND UR'tAN DEVELOPMENT Y �, COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT BLOCK GRANT PROGRAM • GRANTEE PERFORMANCE REPORT 1.

Fair Housing (24 CFR 570.900(c)(2)) 1 . By executing the Certificate of Assurance for Title VIII of the Civil Rights Act of 1968, the recipient has agreed to administer its programs relating to housing and urban development in a man- ner to affirmatively further fair housing. (Activities under this category need not be limited to those funded under CD Block Grants. ) Listed below are areas of particular concern in which specific actions can be taken to provide for greater housing opportunities throughout the locality for minorities and women. For the areas of concern listed below: a. Check those in which studies or actions have been undertaken during the program year. • b. On a separate sheet of paper, summarize the specific study • or activity and briefly describe the results and recommenda- tions of the study or the effects of the action. As an example, a locality might examine the pattern of multi-family zoning to determine its effect on minorities. The recipient would check "zoning", and note on the separate sheet that a study was undertaken to determine the effects of current multi-family zoning on minorities. The results of the study could be summarized , for example, "the pattern of zoning tends to further the concentration of minorities in the locality because the bulk of the multi- family zoning is in, or adjacent to, minority communities, rather than located throughout the locality." If the study recommends actions, such as dispersing multi-family housing, these recommenda- tions must be summarized.

Conley asked Council if they would entertain a motion to open the Puclic . Hearing. Dennis so MOVED, Boronkay SECONDED and MOTION PASSED. George Wands spoke on behalf of the Strand Theater. He said that the Strand was probably one of the most important things happening in downtown Ithaca. Wands said he had come from Buffalo, N.Y. where he had taken over an entire block that was in a derelict section of upper Main Street and turned that block around into an officially designated theater district by the City of Buffalo, the University n Buffalo and the State of New York.. Wands said that his salary was funded '. ' art by the New York State Council on the Arts and that this Council and tr. =overnor are very interested in opening the Ithaca area at the grass roc level (non-academic) as a center for the performing arts. Wands proposed the creation of 3 full tie positions at the Strand Theater, and a brick and mortar grant to replace the essential plumbing and bathroom fixtures throughout the entire theater. One request is for $31 ,139 and the other is for $26,500, He said that he would be available at the theater to answc • any questions, Monday through Friday from 8 to 6 and during performances. a MINUTES COMMON COUNCIL/IURA May 31 , 1979 Page 2 Wands added that he had spoken before Council and the CAC in November, 1978, to ask for money from CD funds to give disadvantaged people in Ithaca, free tickets to the Strand Theater. That proposal was denied because of CD guidelines. Subsequently, the Strand gave free tickets to events sponsored by the Strand. He said that documentation of this is available. Meyers asked CD staff and Wands for more information on how people found out about the possibility of asking for CD funds. Wands said that meetings were advertised in the paper and that by virtue of these advertisements, he had attended a Planning and Development meeting the night before. That meeting was not a public hearing so he had returned to tonight's special meeting. Meyer said that she particularly questions what the CD staff interest is in this project . She said thatmoney was going to the same recreational areas that had already received money. Williams said that activities outside the target area are funded by the 5th year entitlement and that the Strand is listed as an activity under this grant. She explained that the 2nd year Small Cities application was compe- ting with other cities and that it had to be put into the target area and show benefits to low and moderate income persons. Williams said that the Strand is applying for an Appalachian Regional Commission grant of $400,000 and that CD has agreed to act as the basic administrative agency for the theater, Previous CD funding for the Strand have involved the theater marquee and the building facade, Jim Dennis suggested forwarding the proposal by resolutfion to the CAC where they can be studied in relation to the overall picture. Conley said that he had spoken with Wands earlier and asked if the present program could be changed or Jf there was a possiblity of adding the Strand proposal into next year's Small Cities Application if appropriate. Meyers said she is concerned about the people in the target area. She said that four theaters downtown have been lost to date and she noted that cultural activities go out of the target area's reach. Dennis MOVED to refer the Strand proposal to CAC and the IURA. Bordoni SECONDED. Saccucci asked if the income from the sale of tickets had increased in order for the Strand to become self supporting, Wands said that the Strand's priority was to restore the theater to a full proscenium theater with full stage rigging so that a facility of this kind will be available for various indiginous groups. Among these, Wands mentioned The Ithaca Opera, the Ithaca Ballet, the Ithaca Players , the Cayuga Chamber Orchestra, and Cornell and Ithaca College, No such facility exists at present ' MINUTES COMMON COUNCIL/IURA May 31 , 1979 IL Page 3 in this community and he said that the Strand is the last legitimate house left with the kind of architecture that one needs in a theatrical setting to put on a fully mounted production. Wands added that the theater must be programmed so that it reaches the broad cross cultural peoples of the com- munity. He said that citizen's projects at the grass roots level ultimately improve the quality of life, provide a home for supporting groups and also increase the economic tax base of the communities they;serve. He noted that this has already been demonstrated in Buffalo, Spkane, Denver and Hartford. Conley said that if the theater gets the grants they need to bring the building back to full restoration, they would then be able to maintain their operation from their proceeds. He pointed out that they will need help for some time until this situation is established. Wands added that full restoration makes the building more rentable. A vote was taken and MOTION,.PASSED to accept the resolution that the Strand proposal be referred to CAC, Art Pearce, Director of INHS and a member of the Community Advisory Committee, voiced his support of the 2nd year Small Cities application. He said that this application included the ongoing funding of the new Mini-Repair Program that provides basic repairs to elderly or disabled homeowners. He said that the program has been very successful and that he would be returning in July to make a full mid year report to Common Council . Copies of the INHS Mini- Repair brochure were passed out to Council members. Saccucci asked if the application, once passed, would apply to all neighborhoods and Conley answered no, that most of the programs are in the target area. After asking if there was anyone else who wanted to address Common Council on the Small Cities application, Conley entertained a motion to close public hearing. Gutenberger so MOVED, Boothroyd SECONDED and MOTION PASSED. Dennis MOVED to approve the 2nd year Small Cities application and to author- ize the Mayor to sign the application, Nichols SECONDED. Conley mentioned that the application was the highest rated of the non-metro- politan applications and received a higher rating than any metropolitan area. He said that it reflects the high quality of work done by Rosalind Williams and the Community Development Staff, Williams explained that the original application was submitted in May of 1978 and that it outlined the full program. This program includes housing reha- bilitation through various programs such as the INHS high risk loan program, the 312 program, the Mini-Repair program, and the house recycling program. The Neighborhood Facilities financing program included renovations to GIAC r. • MINUTES COMMON COUNCIL/TURA 4 May 31 , .1979:. . .. . .., t. Page 4 for interior work and for exterior recreational improvements. Other improve- ments include the renovation of two area parks (Conway and Wood Street Parks). Williams added that a large sum of money was available for neighborhood im- provements to complement the housing improvements, Another major program is the West State Street program which will begin with this 2nd year application, She said that each year Ithaca applies for different amounts of money or for different programs under the ap- proved and funded 3 year plan. The 2nd year funds will be for rehabilitation loans and grants, INHS rehabilitation services including administration costs, the elderly Mini Repair program, the 312 technical assistance program, and Southside and Northside neighborhood improvements. The West State Street revitalization program will get $50,000 this year • in order to begin. Salaries for organizers that will work with West State Street merchants will come from the Entitlement funds, She added that the Small Cities Grant provided the funding that made it possible for the INHS process to move into the Northside area. Slattery asked where the play structures slated to be constructed in Conway Park will be built. He noted that the available space is used for older children's activities such as baseball and basketball and questioned the feasibility of interaction between the two age groups. • Conley said this was also a concern of the Ithaca IURA and said that meetings with neighborhood people were being set up to discuss other possibilities. He said that there is a need to accomodate both groups. Slattery said he was concerned about overdevelopment of the park to a point where it becomes useless. Boothroyd said he thought it was better to have activity structures to accomodate both groups. Conley agreed but said the space available in Conway Park was very limited. Slattery suggested using the nearby housing projects to build the play- structures. Conley said that CD was committed to looking into this possibility. Boronkay asked if the proposed GIAC pool assumed staffing of the facility once it was built. Conley mentioned that this was a concern of his and that he had dealt with it an a noon meeting with the IURA where a resolution had been passed to study that situation. He said he did not like the idea of using federal funds to build something that would require long term city maintenance and • . MINUTES COMMON COUNCIL/IURA May 31 , 1979 Pa'e 5 added that he and the IURA were looking into the possiblity of giving the pool to a group to operate and maintain the facility with the sti- pulation that it be opened to the public. Groups such as the YMCA and the School District were mentioned as possibilities. He said that in the meantime the proposal was being left in the application pending more information into these options. Boronkay asked if operational expenditures like staffing could be taken out of the funds and Williams said no. Holman asked if home recycling was an attempt to meet the concernts that some Southside residents had expressed about derelict properties. Williams said that in the home recycling description, derelict properties were listed as being abandoned, or as properties that have been on the market for a long time and constitute a blight in the neighborhood. She said that $100,000 is allocated to this program, Slatterly asked if the funds for Wood Street Park can be used to take care of the drainage probelm in the Wood Street Park, Williams said funds were going to be used for landscaping and drainage in the immediate park area but not the area where Softball is played. Holman asked for an explanation of the $12,500 listed for citizen participa- tion under administration. Williams said it was not a program but that it covered part of the admin- istration costs of the Small Cities program such as public hearing notices, legal ads, environmental assessments and notices and release of funds noti- ces. She said that the total admin costs came to $65,000 but that HUD required that this figure be broken down by administration components. Holman asked if that included staff time and Williams said that it did. Conley asked that all in favor of the resolution to approve the 2nd year Small Cities application say aye and MOTION PASSED unanimously, Williams said that they had just received a contract for funds of 5th year entitlement. She said that during the process of HUD's review, they required that categories of funding be changed. She said that as HUD could not evaluate the low income value of the parallel use program, they had suggested placing $20,000 in contingency and $10,000 into the citywide direct grant program which is the highest priority program that was funded in the 5th year. The other change was the landbanking fund which was dropped because of HUD's objection that no guarantee could be made that the land they bought would 4 be used for sites to provide low income housing. • • MINUTES COMMON COUNCIL/IURA May 31 , 1979 Page 6 Dennis said the Common Coucil appreciates the work and time takne by Rosa- lind Williams and Kathe Evans to devleop and put together this and other applications. Holman added that she specifically appreciated the detailed balance sheet of Community Development expenditures prepared by CD Staff. This concluded the IURA/CDA portion of the meeting. Common Council conti- nued with its regular order of business and the IURA/CDA adjourned.
