Carried Unanimously • 7 --Letter from Mrs. Betsy Darlington 4 Alderman John Gutenberger read the following letter to the Board which' was addressed to him: Dear Gutie: The city hires someone who goes around in the non -snow months looking for deviations in sidewalks and making the homeowners put in new ones if he feels they are needed. 'Why is it, then, that in order to get large areas of the city sidewalks shovelled, one must provide the city with the exact addresses of offenders? This leads to unequal enforcement of the law, it seems to me, since only certain homeowners or landlords "get caught." It seems to me that it should be possible to'call the city with a complaint about an entire area or at least an entire street and have the'city do something about the problem. I recently called the city about Dryden Road, Harvard Place, Bryant Ave., :Delaware Ave., and Elmwood Ave. I was told the city could do nothing unless I provided them with my name and the exact street numbers of all offenders. 'It didn't seem fair to single out just a few people and it was impractical to go around getting all the numbers, so the problem goes unsolved. 1 'There is an 87 year old lady up the street who tried to walk to the IGA a 'few days ago. She actually made it, but walking back, had to ask a stranger for a ride. There is hardly a shovelled walk between her house and College - town. Many of the walks haven't been shovelled all winter (and never are any other winter, either) and are really treacherous, even to a young person. Al If the city is so concerned about safety of the sidewalks during the summer that they can send someone looking around for very minor sidewalk cracks, why can't they do something to make the sidewalks safe in winter, which takes up at least half as many months? I don't know if there is anything you can do to get the code changed, but perhaps this letter could be passed on to the appropriate committee. :Thanks a lot! Sincerely, 1'l t sy Pa ri i n ton N1rs . P.S. Another problem is that the present system only works if people are willing to "tell on" their neighbors. Most people aren't --especially since 'it isn't confidential." 'Alderman Gutenberger asked for a reclarification of the policy of the city 'regarding the cleaning of the sidewalks. Discussion followed on the floor. Supt. Dingman commented that the law is clear on it. The sidewalk within th'e public right-of-way is the owner's responsibility and the owner must, among other things, keep it clear of ice and snow. If he fails to do it within a reasonable length of time, determined by the Superintendent, then the Superintendent causes it to be cleaned by city forces, the cost of the :cleaning plus 50 percent overhead, to be billed to the owner. Fromathede- hom-eowner's point of view this -is not a very economical way to get walk cleaned. When -a complaint is registered, the complainant is required to give his name and address. The calls should be made to City Hall, directed to the Construction and Maintenance Division who have forms to L..register the complaints on. Complaints may also be made through Board .members or Aldermen. Request or Expungement o Bi or Snow Remova James Dennis addressed the Board on behalf of E. R. and Mildred Johnson, 510 Mitchell Street, requesting expungement of a $247.25 bill for services rendered by City of Ithaca for clearing sidewalk of snow and ice. Dennis said that beextenuating circum- stances, and hardship, which Dennis explained in detail, the request should be acted upon favorably. Discussion followed on the floor. qql?r Resolution By Couaii. Ewanicki: Seconded by Comm. Cleveland RESOLVED, That the request for expungement of the City's bill to E. R. & Mildred H. Johnson, 510 Mitchell Street,'Ithaca, New York, dated March 6, 1978, for clearing sidewalk at that address of snow and ice, in the total sum of $247.25, be granted. Carried Unanimously Letter from the Southside Community Center City Clerk Rundle read the following letter to the Board: 411 "Honorable' Mayor Conley Whereas, the Board of Directors of the Southside Communityard Centheteryhasocalled to the attention of the Superintendent of Public Works City of Ithaca certain construction items which were deficient in quality in the renovation of the Center, Whereas, monies remain in the contingency account for the project, Resolved, the Board of Directors of the Southside Community Center respect- fully request prompt action on the part of the City to correct these deficiencies using the contingency fund and such other necessary funds. Passed by vote of the Board of Directors at a regular meeting on February 14, 1978. • Clarence Reed, President of the Board of Directors Nantambu Camara Bomani, Executive Director Southside Community Center 305 South Plain Street Ithaca, New York 14850 cc: To Common Council" Discussion followed on the floor. After determining that -there are no available funds at present, Mayor Conley commented that he wished to take the letter to the Common Council for their consideration. Southside Center Planning and Development Director Van Cort addressed the Board, on behalf of the Urban Renewal Agency, informing them that recently there have been requests for additional work to be done in the Southside Center which is city -owned property. The Agency has done preliminary study through an architect hired .by them -who has outlined a series of tasks which have to be accomplished in the building which range from emergency to things which are more or less optional. At their last meeting the Urban Renewal Agency took action on this, directing that certain of these tysks be accomplished immediately on a work order. basis. Because the property is city -owned, the Agency would like the assistance of the Department of Public Works in implementing improvements for the Southside Center --review by the Engi- neering Division of the construction documents and their preparation, as well as inspection of the project after it is completed, and any other role they feel would be appropriate in doing this work. Community Develop- ment money will be used for the work. •q//,*Y Discussion followed on the floor. Mr. Van Cort provided the following list of work needing to be done: doors and hardware, heating system, kitchen, electrical system, gym balcony rail, gym floor, gym walls, entrance to building (deferred to neighborhood improvements line), exterior paint job, general storage in building, additional storage for gym, rloor tiles, suspended ceiling, walls and miscellaneous items. Supt. Dingman commented that this is an unusual and awkward way of doing business. The property is leased to another corporation with requirements that the city do major maintenance and the Southside Center, Inc. is to do minor maintenance. The department prepared a list of things it felt needed to be done, submitted the list to the Common Council who took no action on it. The department has responsibility with respect to the building, yet the first knowledge it has that somethinggoing to be done is when an 'agency of the city comes to it, saying determination has been made that certain things need to be done and the Department of Public Works is expected to take responsibility to see that these things get done. Supt. Dingman feels that if the Department has the responsibility for the maintenance of this building, then they should -be involved in determining what is going to be done with it and what the relationship with the client is regarding this building. After further discussion the following resolution was presented: Resolution 1/317i By Comm. Shaw: Seconded by Comm. Allan RESOLVED, That the Board accepts what has been presentedand refers it to the Building and Grounds Committee, hopefully for cooperative action at the next meeting of the Board.

There is approximately $42,000 in Community Develop- - ment Grant funds available for use on this project. The project has a recommended budget total ranging from $48,600 to $71,700. It was determined y1a,7/7b/ that the Common Council has approved the project (Renovation of Southside Center) and does not need to approve the details.

The highest priority of work to be accomplished is the repair of doors and hardware, both interior and exterior, and repairs to the heating system. g/47 Resolution By Comm.

Carried Unanimously -18- Bikeways Supt. Dingman commented that the Board and department had gotten some bad press on the way the Common Council closed out the Bikeways System and 0 said that the alderman who was quoted in the press probably was ill-informed on the situation. The Bikeway System plans were supposed to have been approved by Common Council. To date, to his knowledge, there are no finished plans for it. What he has received from the Planning Department is a series of working drawings. Mr. Dingman said although he was prepared to do some work based on the working drawings, he felt that he probably could not do it in time to be effective this year. It did not seem to him that the impact of marking the bike system based on their working drawings would have any great beneficial effect to the city.

She said she had 410, discussed the item with Supt. Dingman and gave.each commissioner a copy of the regulation. c/P-7/7( As a result of an investigation conductedby her committee, and input re- ceived from citizens, the committee feels that the chapter is a little bit stringent, and is therefore asking the Board to reserve jurisdiction of the Board of Public Works to keeping rights-of-way clear at all times and allowing some discretion for leaving wild areas in some of the hilly parts of the city. The purpose is 'to allow the Housing Code, which authorizes the Building Commissioner the jurisdiction over grass and weeds on private lots, to maintain its authority over private lots and the Department and Board of Public Works authority over public areas, rights-of-way, sidewalks, etc. Alderman Nichols suggested that the Board of Public Works amend Chapter 272 by adding the underscored material as shown on the proposed revision of Sec. 272.1, and omit material as indicated by brackets.

The Building, Commissioner's office mailed a certified letter to her which was returned to his office because it could not be delivered. Ms. Garner said the post office allows 15 days for delivery of a certified letter to an addressee; however, upon return of the letter to the Building Commissioner's office, the City proceeded to have the lot mowed and billed the owner for the $30 charge. She feels the charge was reasonable, but feels it was presumptious of the City to clear the lot without waiting the allowed period of time for the letter to be delivered to her. • Secondly, in November 1977, Dr. Gums had a letter prepared, through his attorney, to the City concerning sanitary sewer and storm sewer lines being moved from the center of Cobb Street onto the property along Cobb Street without the owner being notified or informed. Ms. Garner asked for an explanation of the action. V.7/7s/ Resolution By Comm. Ewanicki: Seconded by Comm.

Mrs. Garner says that she manages -this property for Dr. Gums. Investigation shows. that a storm drain line in Cobh Street, including a manhole, are on the public right-of-way adjacent to the Gums property.

In general, their plan proposes to remove the movable type section and replace it with a prefabricated bulletin board which will include rules and regulations of the Commons, coming events on the Commons, and other items of interest to Commons users. The plan is for Steven Karr of the Planning Department to fabricate and install the necessary bulletin boards for a total fee of $206 for labor and materials. The Common Council has indicated that this $206 should be charged against the Commons operating account. /v id/7g Ms. Clardy added that the need for a revision of the current removable type boards apparently has been felt for some time by the Commons Advisory Board who took the initiative in seeking a new design. Mr. Karr's design 'has been approved by the Commons Advisory Board and her understanding is that the Common Council also has approved it. Mr. Karr presented the proposed revision to the Board and answered their Questions. Resolution By Comm. Schickel: Seconded by Comm.

Mr. Cleveland requested 800 feet of shore line in order to put in some docks or at least some wall, primarily to have more dock- ing space for boats. Mr. Cleveland mentioned that a similar request was made in 1972 and all the necessary approvals were obtained by Johnson Boat Yard at that time,'but the project was abandoned because Environmental Flood Control. stipulated that they have floating docks, which Johnson Boat Yard did not want to do: Later, the State Marina opened up and provided for the demand for storage space by boaters. At this time, however, storage is at a premium and the Boat Yard would like to have additional space for boats. Also, they are having some problems in Cascadilla Creek with the depth of water and need more space in deep water. . /0laq n Mr. Cleveland passed around some- pictures which he had showing what the area looks like now and what the Boat Yard would do to the area to improve it. He believes the plan would make the area along the Golf Course look nice and -really clean .it up. At the same time, it would be'advantageous to the Boat Yard because of. the additional space it would have. Mr.. Cleveland guesses that it will cost the Boat Yard a minimum of $5,000 to $6,000 to put the necessary wall in. In order to get its money back it would require a long term lease, at least for 10 years, or much longer if they can get it. Mr. Cleveland mentioned that if their request is approved that somewhere in the future they would look at getting docks. He also said that while it would he nice to have the use of the roadway, he is not asking for permission to use the roadway at this time. • Discussion followed on the floor.
