had.been investigating the Capital Projects for the last two or three years, amount
appropriated and amounts expended. He brought out the fact that the balances
indicated that projects were not being comlleted. Economists felt that when
$100,000.00 of money was spent that this generated approximately $400,000.00
through purchases, sales, etc. He felt it was up to the Board to establish a policy
with respect to this Capital Improvement authorization. He felt that what the
Superintendent could have done should be done and what couldn't be done by city
forces be contracted. He felt it was wise to spend the funds when needed in the
community and every year that it goes by the cost goes up. He felt that even if
the .cost of contracting the jobs went up ten percent the annual increase in cost of
the''project would more than offset this. Comm. Putney reported that he felt the same
way and has for a long time. He felt that every year the jobs that could not be
handled by the department should be contracted out. Mayor Conley reported that the
Finance Committee was trying to establish a six year Capital Improvements plan'
and set a budgetary procedure each year as the time came closer to do the projects.
Mayor Conley wanted to see as much work done by our own forces as possible but we
should recognize that when we see that we cannot do the jobsweshould contract
them out. Supt. Dingman felt that the Board should be cautious in establishing
a positive policy until they become fully acquainted with the problem and the policy
that they establish would be to the advantage to the city. Mayor Conley reported
that the Federal Revenue Sharing was returning the policy making back to the city and
furnishing the funds for it. This should help the city in establishing better
capital projects. After much more discussion,
By Comm. Downing: seconded by Comm. Putney Z�
RESOLVED, That it is the policy of the Board of Public Wor s that all authorized
Capital Improvements be carried out in the year that they re authorized wherever
possible, and
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, That the Supt. be authorized to determine which work will be
done by his forces and which work will be contracted out, and
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, That the Supt. report each year early enough so that the Board
will have an understanding what the program will be. Carried

CAPITAL PROJECTS RESOLUTION: Comm. Parkes asked that the Capital Projects
resolution be discussed in committee soon, effectuation of Council policy regarding
capital projects. Comm. Downing felt that the Superintendent should prepare r'
specifications and plans with respect to current expenditures as to how he is
going to carry out the work, and then to ask the committee when this is available2j—
to meet and disucss the methods which he proposes on the expenditures. Engineer
Schlieder reported that lack of positive direction is one of his problems in his
department. New projects should be divorced from regular projects. He felt that
two things should be done. One is that a list be made of the regular housekeeping
and maintenance for the year and the other one is that which should be planned for
new development. Planning should be done a year in advance and not done by panic.,
Comm. Downing felt that if more help was needed we should proceed and pay for this.
This would stop the delay -year after year. Alderman Nichols reported that at the
March Council meeting they had requested bids be achieved by work not to be done
by City forces, such as South Hill Playground, DeWitt Park and MacDaniels Park and
after last nights Planning meeting the drawings are available for Conway Parka
She hoped that one of the first things to be done under this newly implemented
policy will be to get the bids on these parks.
The chairman of the Capital Improvements Committee has requested the submission
of projects to be considered in the 1974 capital budget and for the following 1,�.� r
five year capital program. The Board may wish to determine which capital pro -(i
jects it wishes to have the department prepare and submit.

SUPERINTENDENT'S REPORT
Sup't. Dingman gave the following report to the Board:
I have put in your hands a review of Capital Projects as of November 15,
1973, showing the unencumbered balances in the accounts with comments on the
progress. This year the department has recommended payment of, or authorized
expenditures of $655,355 of capital construction in the General Fund Account;
$53,302. of capital construction in the Water Fund Account; $119,753 of
capital construction in the Sewer Find Account. Common Council approved in
1973 new money for capital projects as follows:
$255,800 General Fund
103,270 Water Fund
38,100 Sewer Fund
I have received a letter from the Bureau of Water Management of the NYS
Department of Environmental Co nservaticiiadvising me that the Corps of Engineers
will not dredge the lower sector of the Cayuga Inlet project. The dredging
project now in progress begins at ths. drop structure and proceeds downstream
to a point approximately 200 ft. sou..n of the State Street Bridge. The letter
from the Bureau indicates that the spoil area on city land in the vicinity of
Cass Park which had beea authori3ed by the Board, will not be needed.
As a matter of information to the Board, as of November 1, 1973, street
lighting in the city ':.ad a total annum rate of $109,334.79. In addition to
this, $10,589.80 of iizhting has been ordered for Cass Park, and it is estimated
that the competion of relighting the downtorn business district, not including
the State Street Mall, will cost an additirnal $25,400 per year. All of this
put together will give us an annual street lighting bill of approxima:ely
$145,650.
