Superintendent's Report
Supt. Dingman reported that the Tompkins County Trust Company has
sponsored the time and temperature indicators on the Commons since
they were instituted late in 1974. Under their contract they pay
$3,300 a year towards the maintenance of the indicators and the
present five-year contract will expire on September 30, 1980. The
Trust Company has been reviewing its policies and has notified Mr.
Dingman that it will be willing to continue sponsorship to the
extent of $1,000 per year for the next five years. The Trust Company
is willing to share sponsorship with others. 3/�0-/K
Supt. Dingman said that this matter will be handled by passing this
information on to the Commons Advisory Board for its recommendation
to the Board of Public Works as to what method to take in the
sponsorship of the indicators. Mr. Dingman requested that a conclu-
sion be arrived at in sufficient time before September 30th so that
his Department can consider what further arrangements will have to
be made. Supt. Dingman also mentioned that it is not likely that
the continuing price for maintaining the indicators will remain at
$3,300 a year because the contract calls for a cost of living adjust-
ment and it is conceivable that the cost of the maintenance contract
will increase for the coming five-year period. Mr. Dingman said
that he just wanted to let the Board know what was happening and that
he would have a further report on the project unless it was decided
at this time not to continue such maintenance.

New York 'State Electric 'Gas Corporation re Cherry Street
Industrial Park Gas Line
Mayor Bordoni passed -out copies of letter from New York State
Electric & Gas Corporation to him with. reference to proposal for
providing natural gas service to Cherry Street Industrial Park.
The Mayor discussed .the background of the letter and mentioned that
the contract had been passed back. and forth in an effort to find out
who was suppose to approve .or disapprove of the proposal. .The Mayor
checked with. City Attorney Shapiro and with Planning Director Van Cort,
both of whom were under the impression that the Board of Public Works
has the final say -on -approval or disapproval. The Mayor.further
explained that the $30,000 expense will be refundable as stated in
NYSEG's letter after usage of gas reaches a certain amount. It is
important that the contract be approved because the gas line has to
be installed before the paving is done at the Industrial Park..

Letter. from .Toinplkins County Golf Association
The following letter was sent to Dave.Banfi.eld by Edward A. Mazza,
President of Tompkins County Golf Association:
"Dear Dave:
7/9/0
I am writing you this letter as President of the .Tompkins County Golf
Association. We are in the process of planning the annual county golf.
tournament. The tournament will be played on September 6, 7, 13 and
14. The September 7 round will be played at th.e Cornell University
Golf Club. The September 13 round will be played at th.e Hillendale
Golf Course and the Trumansburg Golf Club.(the field being split that
day according to flights.). The September 14 round will be played
at the Country Club of Ithaca. Each of these courses has agreed as
usual, to give the golf association the use of th.e course without any
charge for greens fees.
We would like to request that the City of Ithaca allow the golf associa-
tion to use the Newman Municipal Golf Course on September 6, 198Q,
without any charge for greens fees. We estimate 110 players will
participate in the tournament this year.
The tournament is designed to promote golf in the county b
gettin
, together the players from the various clubs in the county andplaying
on the various courses. It is planned in September due to the fact
that the Labor Day weekend traditionally marks the end of the summer
golf season in this area. This way the clubs do not bear a financial
burden by allowing us to use their courses.
Over the recent past the tournament was played on the Country Club of
,Ithaca, Cornell, Trumansburg and Stonehedges. Last year Hillendale
was added to the list. This year Stonehedges has a scheduling con-
flict and cannot participate.
The golf association would greatly appreciate your presentation of
.this request to the City of Ithaca Board of Public Works for their
,approval. If I can be of any assistance to you or to the Board, I
would be happy to answer any questions or explain the tournament
;more fully.
Thanking you for your, cooperation in this matter, I remain
Very truly yours,

After a brief discussion, Mayor Bordoni requested that the letter
be referred to Commissioner Schickel's Public Buildings, Grounds and
