Radke explained that two of the vehicles are in need of replacement, and are scheduled to be sold at auction. She further explained that the department needs nine vehicles to get the current load of building inspections done. BUDGET AND ADMINISTRATION COMMITTEE AUGUST 22, 2001 The Committee was concerned over staff safety during the operation of older vehicles . The Committee agreed that nine vehicles were needed by the Building Department, and suggested that, pending an inspection by DPW on the vehicles in question, the department can maintain its fleet of nine vehicles . It was noted that the vehicles are scheduled to be replaced in 2002 . The following motion was made : WHEREAS, the Building Department staff level has increased by two positions since 2000, and WHEREAS, the department' s vehicles have been maintained at nine total vehicles during the period, and WHEREAS, two of the oldest Building Department vehicles are now in need of replacement, and are scheduled for the annual municipal auction, and WHEREAS, the Building Department needs to maintain a nine- vehicle fleet size to allow the inspectors to do their jobs on a daily basis; now, therefore, be it RESOLVED, That Common Council hereby authorizes the Building Department to keep the Department' s vehicle fleet at nine vehicles, and be it further RESOLVED, That the Department can keep their two oldest vehicles until 2002 pending a satisfactory inspection by the Department of Public Works, and be it further RESOLVED, If vehicles become available from other City departments, that the Building Department' s two oldest vehicles shall be the first to be replaced. The motion passed 4-0 . 3 . Fire Department A. Request to Amend Budget for FEMA Grant Fire Chief Wilbur and Director of Development Lynch presented a request to approve a $34, 596 FEMA Grant for Wellness and Fitness for Firefighters. The grant will allow the department to purchase a number of exercise machines and place them in all fire stations . The Committee thanked Lynch for her efforts in obtaining the grant . The following motion was made: 2 ti BUDGET AND ADMINISTRATION COMMITTEE AUGUST 22, 2001 WHEREAS, the City Fire Department has been awarded a Federal Emergency Management Agency Grant for Wellness and Fitness for Firefighters in the amount of $34, 596, and WHEREAS, the grant funds will allow the Fire Department to acquire various pieces of fitness equipment to be used in all City Fire Stations; now, therefore, be it RESOLVED, That Common Council hereby amends the 2001 Authorized Budget to account for the receipt of said FEMA grant as follows : Increase Revenue Account : A3410-4489 Federal Aid - Health $34, 596 Increase Appropriation Accounts : A3410-5225-12250 Other Equipment $30, 936 A3410-5440-12150 Staff Development 3 , 660 The motion carried 4-0 . B. Parking Ticket Fine Amounts Fire Chief Wilbur discussed with the Committee the possibility of setting fines for parking tickets issued by the Fire Department . Wilbur explained that in 2001, certain Fire Department personnel were authorized to issue appearance tickets for violations of various parking regulations, which pertain to public safety. The tickets mainly relate to parking in fire lanes and at fire hydrants. It was soon determined that fines needed to be established, as are currently set with Police Department- issued tickets . A discussion concerning amount and ranges of fines followed. The Committee suggested that the Fire Department discuss this with the City Judge and the City Attorney. The Chief will bring this item back at a future meeting. No action was taken. C. Fire Limits Ordinance Change Chief Wilbur discussed a request to change a city ordinance regarding fire limits . The fire limits are used to protect against the City' s possibility of catastrophic fires. The ordinance limits what type of construction can be used in which zoned areas of the city. Wilbur suggested that 3 BUDGET AND ADMINISTRATION COMMITTEE AUGUST 22, 2001 changes to the zoning ordinance have removed some areas from designation as fire limits. Wilbur is suggesting the following additions to Fire Limits A; areas zoned CBD-140, WEZD-la, WEZD-lb, SW-1, except the northern boundary of fire limits in SW-1 shall be the southern property lines of parcels 100 . -3-1 and 101 . -1-1 .2 , SW-2, SW-3 and WF-1 (a, b, c, & d) . It was noted that the Committee voted, 4-0, to approve the ordinance amendment . The ordinance will be written by the City Attorney' s Office and placed on the Council Agenda. 4 . Planning Department - Request to Establish a Capital Project for the Remediation of Soils in the Southwest Area Deputy Planning Director Cornish presented a request to approve a Capital Project to dispose of the contaminated soils in the Southwest Area. Cornish stated that the consultant hired to do the Remedial Investigation Plan found some contaminated soil and drums in the relief channel area. The soil and drums need to be removed. An estimated cost to remove the drums and possibly contaminated soil has been set at $35, 900 . The funds would be established from the issuance of Bonds, initially advanced from the General Fund. The soil and drum removal would begin immediately and be completed by December. The following motion was made: WHEREAS, in February 2001, the City of Ithaca retained the consulting firm of GZA to do a Remedial Investigation Plan for two sites in the Southwest Area of the City, and WHEREAS, the investigation involved soil sampling, delineation of contaminated soils, and a proposal and cost estimate for the excavation and disposal of the contaminated soils, and WHEREAS, GZA has worked in conjunction with the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation to develop a plan in accordance with NYSDEC guidelines, and WHEREAS, GZA has completed their investigative work and have submitted a cost for the excavation and disposal of the contaminated soils, and WHEREAS, the cost for the excavation and disposal of contaminated soils in the former drum disposal area totals $31, 525, and 4 • w BUDGET AND ADMINISTRATION COMMITTEE AUGUST 22 , 2001 WHEREAS, the cost for the excavation and disposal of contaminated soils in the relief channel totals $4, 375; now, therefore, be it RESOLVED, That Common Council hereby establishes Capital Project #446 for the Excavation and Disposal of the Contaminated Soils in the Former Drum Disposal Area and the Relief Channel, located in the Southwest Area of the City, for an amount not to exceed $35, 900, and be it further RESOLVED, That said project funds shall be advanced from the General Fund and later repaid from the issuance of Serial Bonds . The motion passed 4-0 . 5 . Council Reports Chairperson Vaughan distributed a report from the Downtown Partnership on extended hours and two-hour free parking. The report stated that with regard to the two-hour free parking, it' s too early to tell how this has affected the downtown area. More parking data will be evaluated to determine the impact . It was noted that downtown storefront occupancy is at 92%, holding its own as compared to the weakening economy. The report also suggested more mild successes with the extended hour campaign for downtown merchants . The Partnership will complete its assessment of the extended hours and make changes as appropriate. The Partnership recommends continuing the two-hour free parking with monitoring for abuse. The next B & A meeting was set for September 25, 2001 at 7 :30 PM. An October Budget meeting schedule will be distributed in September. The meeting adjourned at 8 :40 PM. NOTE: In many cases the actual text of the resolutions presented in these minutes were prepared following the Committee' s deliberations and decisions on the matters involved. The resolutions presented here are in complete accord with decisions made by the Committee. 5 BUDGET AND ADMINISTRATION COMMITTEE AUGUST 22, 2001 7 :30 P.M.

L Telephone: 607/274-6508 Fax: 607/274-6521 I Memorandum Date: August 10, 2001 Lj ,?v To: B &A From: Phyllis Radke.,Acting Building Commissioner Subject: Building Department Vehicles Last year,during the Capital Project's review process, I asked that two of the Building Department's vehicles be replaced by two new vehicles as part of a five-year vehicle replacement plan. At that time I did not anticipate that I would need to retain the two vehicles I wanted to replace because of staffing increases. Though at one time I had enough vehicles for all my inspectors, car shortage problems began to surface last January. In late December of 2000,the City started providing electrical inspection services and the Building Department hired an electrical inspector. Though I knew I needed another car, I thought this inspector could use one of the cars that were scheduled to be replaced. In the interim,Bill Gray was kind enough to let us borrow his City vehicle for much of the time while we waited for the first new car to arrive. One new vehicle arrived in February and I had a car for the electrical inspector.The same problem happened in March when I hired a new Code Inspector filling a position that had been vacant since 1999. The exterior maintenance inspector was using the former code inspector's car;therefore no vehicle was available for the new inspector until the second new vehicle arrived in June. By keeping the two cars that were originally to be replaced,I finally had a vehicle for each inspector. As most of you are aware, the Department's Code Inspectors are assigned different areas in the City. The Acting Deputy Building Commissioner inspects all the Cornell projects. The exterior maintenance inspector and the electrical inspector are responsible for the entire City.There is a direct relationship between an inspector's mobility and an inspector's ability to provide contracted services. The Department relies heavily on its vehicles to fulfill its obligations and these services generate substantial revenues. I believe, to date, the Building Department has collected or billed more than$370,000 in fees for the 2001 budget year. Several weeks ago, I was notified by DPW that I would have to turn in the two vehicles that were to be replaced so that they could be prepared for auction. Of course doing so would have devastating consequences for the Building Department and for the people it serves. I talked to Bill Gray about my situation and he informed me that I would need Council's approval to increase the Department's fleet. Therefore, I am formally asking that the B&A forward my request to Council asking that I be allowed to keep the two cars that were scheduled to be replaced and thereby increase the Department's fleet size by two. I apologize for any inconvenience that I have caused. I was not aware of the protocol for this particular situation.

Specifically these deal with parking in fire lanes, at fire hydrants, or in other areas relating to fire protection or access to, or egress from structures. Also included was authorization to issue tickets for violations of the State's laws pertaining to handicap parking. As we worked to implement this new authority, we soon found that set fines would need to be established in order to allow for parking tickets to be issued in the same manner and similar form as is done by the Ithaca Police Department. This is the purpose of this action before the Budget and Administration Committee of Common Council. Current public works legislation (§346-49) sets the range of fines for non-NYS V&T law illegal parking in the range up to a maximum of $100 fine, and/or imprisonment for not more than 15 days for the first conviction, $200 fine and/or imprisonment for not more than 45 days for the second conviction within 10 months, or find of not more than $300 fine and/or not more than 90 day imprisonment for a third conviction within 18 months. In general, §1800 of the NYS V&T law sets penalties for violations of not more than $100 and/or imprisonment of not more than 15 days for the first offense; $200 and/or 45 days in jail; and, $300 and/or 90 days in jail for the third offense (within 18 mos). NYS V&T also defers to local rule or ordinance in the establishment of such penalties. Current fire department legislation (§181-22) sets a discretionary fine of up to $250 for conviction of a violation of the City or State Fire Prevention Code. Subsequent penalties run to $250-$500 for violating an order of the Fire Marshall, to up to $1,000 or year in jail if a violation results in injury or property damage. Parking tickets issued by the Police Department carry fixed fines as follows: Overtime meter $10 Overtime zone 10 Parking ramp overnight without permit 1 5 Curb (>12") 10 School zone 15 Prohibited area 1 5 Between curb and walk 15 Bus stop/taxi stand 1 5 Fire hydrant/Fire zone 2 0 Crosswalk 15 Sidewalk 15 Overtime night, odd/even 1 0 Other 1 0 Driveway 10 Private property 15 Ithaca Fire Department 15 AUG 01 Parking Ticket Fines page 2 Wrong direction 10 Truck zone 15 Double parking 15 Uninspected 15 Abandoned 1 5 Handicap 1st - 80, 2nd 105, 3rd - 130 Yard parking 1st - 20, 2nd - 30, 3rd - 50 Chapter 116, §116-3.A. of the City Code charges the City Judge with setting parking fine amounts and prescribing the form for disposing of such an offense. What we're asking Council to do is to acknowledge and agree with the amounts we are recommending for the fines, so that this endorsement may be presented to the City Judge for use in setting or adjusting fines for use in enforcement of these regulations. IFD's Position Contrary to the advice of the City Attorney's Office, the Ithaca Fire Department is advocating fixed fines for parking violations which we will enforce of $80 for the first violation, $105 for the second violation, and $130 for the third and subsequent violations. These fines are the exact same fines levied for parking in a location designated for handicapped parking. While the City Attorney logically and reasonably suggests that Ithaca should mimic other cities in its parking fine structure, the Fire Department bases its justification on the fact that Ithaca is decidedly different from many cities. In this case, where Syracuse, Rochester, or Binghamton send from 3-6 fire fighters per fire truck, for a total of 18 to 24 fire fighters arriving on a first alarm, Ithaca has two fire fighters per truck, for a total of seven personnel on a first alarm, with an additional four to be dispatched if there is a fire. The densely built and populated, wood frame buildings that make up many of Ithaca's neighborhoods are a significant risk should a fire break out, and only rapid and efficient intervention stands between a small fire contained to the compartment of origin, and a large, multi-building fire which will result if the fire flashes over and extends beyond the compartment of origin. Another factor is the demographics of many violators in areas most at risk. We hear routinely that minor parking fines are acceptable as part of the cost of living in Ithaca. When compared with the cost of a small apartment in Manhattan, rents in Ithaca are cheap. Add to that a few parking tickets received as the result of "convenience" parking, and the total costs of living in Ithaca are still way below what many temporary residents in our fair City are used to paying in their home town. However, the burden on local public safety forces which is imposed as a result is enormous. Parking at a fire hydrant, or obstructing a fire access lane, can result in significant delays. The result of illegally parked vehicles in this case is a matter community risk. Surely, the fine for such an act must be distinguishable between that and the fine for a car parked overtime at a meter. Ithaca Fire Department 15 AUG 01 Parking Ticket Fines page 3 Parking Resolution Whereas, the Ithaca Fire Department has been authorized to issue appearance (parking) tickets for certain violations; and, Whereas, the nature of the offenses for which this authority has been granted are a matter of public safety and community risk reduction; and, Whereas, the need to rapidly and effectively modify behavior of those who tend to violate parking regulations relating to public safety and community risk is imperative; and, Whereas, the imposition of significant fines for those convicted of such offenses is desired by the Fire Department as a means to rapidly achieving a high level of compliance; now, therefore be it Resolved, Common Council endorses the following fine structure for use in the enforcement efforts authorized by §181-23 of the City Code: Violation with set fines. Any person who shall violate any provision of the Municipal Fire Prevention or Safety Code or of Part 1161 of the New York State Uniform Fire Prevention and Building Code or those portions of the New York State Vehicle and Traffic Law which apply to fire or public safety shall be guilty of a violation, as that is defined in Article 10 of the Penal Law. The penalties for such violations shall be as follows: i ) First conviction: fine of $80, or imprisonment for not more than 15 days, or both; i i ) Second conviction within 18 months thereafter: fine of $105, or imprisonment for not more than 45 days, or both; i i i) Third conviction within 18 months thereafter: fine of $130, or imprisonment for not more than 90 days, or both. Changes to Fire Limits in Municipal Code Background Fire limits are areas within the community where additional restrictions on building construction apply. The reason for fire limits is based on preventing conflagrations; in general, wood frame construction is prohibited in fire limits. Ithaca has many areas where very dense concentrations of buildings exist, and the potential for fires involving more than one building at a time has been demonstrated time and again. Fire limits in the City of Ithaca have historically been prescribed by using various zoning designations. As a result, § 181-13 describes Fire Limits 'A' as "those areas of the city which are zoned Industrial 1-1 and Business B-2b, CBD-60, CBD-85 and CBD-100 in the City of Ithaca Zoning Ordinance (Chapter 325 of this Code)." Fire limits 'B' are "those areas of the city which are zoned Business B-2a, B-2c, B-2d, B-5 or B-5 ..." Resolution Whereas, the designation of fire limits is an important component of the community's defense against catastrophic fires; and, Whereas, fire limits in the City of Ithaca are currently defined in the fire prevention code by referencing the zoning ordinance; and, Whereas, changes to the zoning ordinance have removed some areas from designation as fire limits; now, therefore be it Resolved, City of Ithaca Code section 181-13 is amended to read as follows: Fire limits of the City of Ithaca are hereby defined as follows: A Fire limits A: those areas of the city which are zoned Industrial 1-1 and Business B-2b, CBD-60, CBD-85, aPA CBD-100, and (Inlet Island) and (Southwest Parks * in the City of Ithaca Zoning Ordinance (Chapter 325 of this Code). B. Fire limits 'B': those areas of the city which are zoned Business B-2a, B-2c, B-2d, 13- 5 or B-5 in the City of Ithaca Zoning Ordinance (Chapter 325 of this Code). * proper designations to be provided on corrected copy BUDGET & ADMINISTRATION COMMITTEE AGENDA ITEM FOR COMMON COUNCIL MEETING August 22, 2001 Request to Establish a Capital Project for the Remediation of Soils in the Southwest Area WHEREAS, in February 2001, the City of Ithaca retained the consulting firm of GZA to do a Remedial Investigation Plan for two sites in the Southwest Area of the City, and WHEREAS,the investigation involved soil sampling, deliniation of contaminated soils, and a proposal and cost estimate for the excavation and disposal of the contaminated soils, and WHEREAS, GZA has worked in conjunction with the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation to develop a plan in accordance with NYSDEC guidelines, and WHEREAS, GZA has completed their investigative work and have submitted a cost for the excavation and disposal of the contaminated soils, and WHEREAS,the cost for the excavation and disposal of contaminated soils in the former drum disposal area totals $31,525.00, and WHEREAS,the cost for the excavation and disposal of contaminated soils in the relief channel, totals $4,375.00, now, therefore,be it RESOLVED,that Common Council hereby establishes Capital Project# for the Excavation and Disposal of the Contaminated Soils in the Former Drum Disposal Area and the Relief Channel, located in the Southwest Area of the City, for an amount not to exceed $35, 900.00 and be it further RESOLVED,that said project funds shall be advanced from the General Fund.

This proposal addresses both the relief channel drum area and the former drum area, which are located at the Southwest Park Area in the City of Ithaca. The relief channel drum area and the former drum area (Site) are located within an approximate 65 acre area of undeveloped land covered with trees and brush that was historically used for disposal purposes. Based on GZA's review of previous environmental studies completed by the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation (NYSDEC)1 and Clark Patterson AssociateS2, the Site was closed in 1970. RELIEF CHANNEL AREA Background A Subsidiary of GZA GeoEnvironmental Technologies,Inc. The relief channel Site is situated on the bank of a municipal storm relief channel. This bank is approximately 30 feet wide and is located east of the Nates Floral mobile home park, and west of the relief channel surface water. 1 DRAFT"Supplemental Investigation Report,Southwest Park Area,City of Ithaca,Tompkins County", prepared by the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation,September 2000.

An Equal Opportunity Employer M/FN/H Department of Planning and Development July 23, 2001 File 55498.1 and 55498.2 Page 2 Based on the previous report completed by GZA3, 19 drums including six previously identified, are located at the Site. These drums were observed in separate groups (approximately 1 to 6 drums per group). A majority of the drums were observed partially buried or crushed and all drums appeared to be carcasses (empty) with the exception of the six drums previously sampled by the NYSDEC. Additionally, four other 55-gallon drums were observed in an area southwest of the relief channel area (identified as a former drum GZ� area) during this initial site walk over. The results of GZA's soil sampling for toxicity characteristic leachate procedure (TCLP), ignitability reactivity and corrosivity analyses for the six composite soil samples collected underneath the drums are non-hazardous. As such, this proposal addresses removal of the 23 drums. Scope Of Work Task 1: Project Preparation Prepare a site-specific health and safety plan for protection of our workers prior to the commencement of field activities and coordinate with subcontractors who will remove and dispose the 23 identified drums. Task 2: Excavation and Disposal of 55-Gallon Drums Retain the services of a remedial subcontractor to remove and dispose of the 23 identified drums located on Site. The empty drums will be loaded directly onto trucks and transported to a local scrap metal dealer for recycling. Solid material located inside the drums will be transported to a NYSDEC permitted solid waste landfill for disposal as non- hazardous waste. It is GZA's opinion that the soils beneath the empty drums (slated for disposal)will not need to be excavated for disposal. Monitor and document the excavation and transportation of the drums. We will also screen the soils beneath the drums with an organic vapor meter(OVM) to further delineate the area. If elevated OVM measurements are detected (i.e., greater than 1 part per million above background) or if stained soils are observed, this material will be excavated along with the corresponding drum for disposal. If required, the excavated soils will be transported to the former drum area for disposal with soils excavated from this area. - It is GZA's opinion that the analytical testing results from the April 30, 2001 sampling event can be used by the landfill for their waste characterization purposes if disposal of soils is required. Therefore, further analytical testing will not be required. In addition, confirmatory sampling will not be required by the NYSDEC. s"Drum Sample Summary Report,Relief Channel Drum Area,NYSDEC Spill#0065058,Southwest Park Area,Ithaca,New York",Prepared for City of Ithaca DPD;May 2001. 1 Department of Planning and Development July 23, 2001 File 55498.1 and 55498.2 Page 3 Task 3: Report Preparation Prepare a report regarding the work conducted that will summarize.the tasks completed and present an opinion regarding the Site.

Task 4 for the Former Drum Area estimated the quantity of soils to be excavated at 230 tons. This should have read 230 cubic yards, which equates to approximately 375 tons. Thus, the approximate cost for 375 tons of soil at $45/ton is $16,875. The total estimate for the work to be completed at the Former Drum Area should be increased from $25,000 to $31,525.

Assistant Proj c anager Associate Principal A Subsidiary of GZA GeoEnvironmental Technologies,Inc. An Equal Opportunity Employer M/FN/H r Department of Planning and Development July 23, 2001 File 55498.1 and 55498.2 Page 4 FORMER DRUM AREA Background The previous NYSDEC report indicated an estimated 26 (55-gallon) drums were removed from the Site in 2000 by the City of Ithaca. NYSDEC collected and analyzed drum wastes GZ% and surface soil samples from the area where the drums were historically stored. Compounds exceeding NYSDEC recommended soil cleanup objectives (RSCO) guidance values include polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) and metals (specifically arsenic, lead, barium and mercury). As part of GZA's May 2001 report4, GZA collected 10 sets of soil samples from the former drum.area for chemical analysis. The sampling was conducted to assess the vertical and horizontal extent of potential contamination resulting from the 26 drums previously located at the Site and also from the area to the north previously sampled by NYSDEC. GZA collected soil samples from the four previous NYSDEC sampled locations at depths of 12-24 inches and 24-36 inches below ground surface (bgs); NYSDEC previously collected soil samples from 0-12 inches bgs. These four locations are designated as FDA- 1, FDA-2, FDA-3 and FDA-4. Additionally, GZA collected soil samples from six locations from within the area previously occupied by the 26 drums. Soil samples were collected at one-foot intervals (0-12 inches, 12-24 inches and 24-36 inches bgs). The locations are identified as FDA-5 through-10. The analytical test results indicated that soils located underneath the area previously occupied by the 26 drums (FDA-5 to FDA-10) do not appear to be significantly contaminated, and thus no remedial action is recommended assuming the property is used for non-residential purposes. However, the subsurface soils below the previously NYSDEC sampled locations (FDA-1 to FDA-4) indicated that the soils were impacted with compound concentrations exceeding the RSCO at depths up to 36 inches below ground surfaces. These soils are to be excavated and disposed at the request of the Ithaca DPD. Scope of Work GZA's Soil Remediation Plans and the following scope of work is proposed to fulfill the above-stated purpose for the former drum area as requested by Ithaca DPD. 4"Drum Sample Summary Report,Former Drum Area,NYSDEC Spill#0065058,Southwest Park Area, Ithaca,New York",Prepared for City of Ithaca DPD;May 2001. 5"Soil Remediation Plan,Former Drum Disposal Area,Southwest Park Area,NYSDEC Spill#0065058 Ithaca,New York",Prepared for the NYSDEC;July 2001.

We will also coordinate with subcontractors who will handle the soil excavation and disposal. GZXGZA will obtain the required pen-nits and arrange for utility locating companies to mark subsurface utilities in the public right-of-way; and require that the site manager(identified by Ithaca DPD)provide us with the location of on-site utilities prior to excavating on Site. In an effort to excavate impacted soils, tree removal will be required. GZA assumes the removed trees can be disposed of at the Ithaca Department of Public Works storage area located adjacent to the Site on the west. Task 2: Excavation of Impacted Soil GZA will retain the services of a remedial subcontractor to excavate the identified impacted areas. The depth of excavation is estimated to be three feet bgs in the areas of FDA-1 to -4 as shown on the attached Figure 1. However, since the Site is located on a former disposal area, the excavation may be terminated at a shallower depth if solid waste is encountered within the excavation. The impacted soils (assume 230 cubic yards for budgetary purposes) will be directly loaded into dump trucks for transportation to a state permitted facility capable of disposing the soil. All excavations will be backfilled with suitable material as recommended by the NYSDEC. The material will be placed at one-foot lifts and compacted with the bucket of the excavator. GZA will monitor and document the excavation/backfilling activities related to the impacted soils. Unless requested, GZA assumes the backfilled excavation will not require reseeding. Task 3: Analytical Testing It is GZA's opinion that analytical testing results from the April 30, 2001 sampling event can be used by the landfill for their waste characterization purposes if disposal of soils is required. Therefore, further analytical testing for waste characterization of the soils will not be required. GZA will collect 3 to 5 confirmatory samples (depending on the size of the excavation) from the excavation floor. These samples will be tested for SVOCs, total metals and PCBs.

J lJ THE DOWNTOWN PARTNERSHIP �t f Wv'rbC1 w . August 20, 2001 TO: Pat Vaughan FROM: Gary Ferguson RE: DOWNTOWN EXTENDED HOURS AND TWO-HOUR FREE PARKING: UPDATE REPORT Introduction Late in 2000, the Ithaca Common Council approved a Memorandum of Understanding with the Ithaca Downtown Partnership that resulted in two distinct actions: the creation of two-hour free parking in downtown municipal garages and lots and the commitment to undertake a program to extend downtown business hours. This report summarizes progress made to date on the issues spelled out in that Memorandum of Understanding. Two-Hour Free Parking The City began two-hour free parking in January 2001 at the Seneca and Green Street garages and Lot D. Collection hours were extended to 8:00 p.m: and daily rates were raised to fifty cents per hour. The Ithaca Downtown Partnership began its campaign to make the public aware of the two-hour free parking in March. The campaign consisted of table tents distributed to downtown restaurants and businesses,posters,print advertisements and radio spots coupled with restaurant give-away certificates. The City Public Works Department also installed signs at the garages informing people about the free parking. Businesses reported that the learning curve for customers was slow but the free parking was well appreciated. Impact of Two-Hour Free Parking to Date Informal surveys of merchants and offices suggest that customers have found two-hour free parking to be useful and attractive. A number of downtown merchants currently refer to two-hour free parking in their advertising. Office managers are likewise 202 The Commons,Suite 304 - P.O.Box 6884 - Ithaca,New York 14851-6884 607/277-8679 - Fax 607/277-8691 E-mail: ithaca@lightlink.com positively inclined toward the two-hour free policy. A number of interviewed managers regularly inform their clientele about the policy. Utilization of two-hour free parking is hard to determine without studying City parking data. Visual observation suggests that Lot D receives substantial short-term use, particularly by patrons of the new Library. Has two-hour parking positively affected the downtown business economy? It is, unfortunately, too early to tell. What can be reported is that despite the national economic downtown in 2001 that has affected retail sales across the country, downtown Ithaca has held its own. Storefront occupancy rates peaked at 97%and returned to a current 92%, similar to twelve months ago. Retail sales for many merchants have held steady or increased. In a downward economy, this is noteworthy. Certainly, two-hour free parking has helped downtown during this critical business period. Extended Hours The Ithaca Downtown Partnership launched its extended hour marketing program in May/June. The intent of the marketing effort was two fold: to expose the public to the opportunity to shop during extended hours and to encourage new merchants to open additional hours. The target hours were Thursday evenings, Friday evenings and Sunday afternoons. Extended Hours Marketing Plan The marketing effort consisted of an intensive campaign clustered around a six-week period during June and July. The program included a print and radio advertisements, posters and PSAs all designed to hype extended hours in downtown. Prizes were awarded each week to shoppers who registered only during extended hour periods. A grand prize of round trip tickets to Orlando was offered throughout the campaign and awarded in the sixth week. During the evening hours special programming was scheduled to entice more people to visit and to entertain those who chose to make the trip downtown. Groups like the SPCA signed on to showcase pets during the evening hours. The Partnership moved its Thursday summer concerts to 6:00 p.m. to encourage concert goers to shop and dine while downtown. The Partnership also launched a"busker"program designed to provide informal street music and entertainment throughout the evenings. Dozens of buskers performed during this period. Impact of Extended Hours The Partnership is currently evaluating the effectiveness of the summer extended hours effort in anticipation of undertaking a fall campaign. Merchants expressed varying degrees of support for the added hours. The Partnership experienced some success in encouraging merchants to remain open for extended hours. The chart below summarizes merchant participation in the extended hours campaign. Figures are based on a selection of 57 downtown businesses originally SUMMARY OF EXTENDED HOURS ACTIVTY Time % Originally % Currently Net SF Added* Net Stores Q= Q= Added* Thursday Eve. 73% 91% 15,500 4 Friday Eve. 65% 69% 2,000 3 Sunday 88% 90% (3,000) 2 *During this period 4 new stores were added and 3 stores left. developed by Gary Ferguson and Mayor Alan Cohen. Several businesses not open during the summer have committed to open for extended hours on Thursday. Theses are contemporary Trends and Mansour Jewelers. New stores Urban Imports, Dollar Bazaar, PAWS, Spirit and Kitsch and Seespot all are open extended hours. Next Steus The City and Partnership should review parking utilization data to determine who uses two-free parking and to assess how well it serves the intent of encouraging more shopping and business activity in downtown. The Partnership will complete its assessment of the extended hours campaign and make changes as appropriate. The two-hour free parking campaign should be continued,with appropriate monitoring for abuse. Thursday Evening Extended Hours: Targeted Businesses Num. Store Nam Size* Location Thur.
