HALL OF. JUSTICE FENCING: By Comm. Putney: seconded by Comm. Parkes Z �_
RESOLVED, That the Superintendent be authorized to proceed with the cons ruction

that the fencing should be done unless all of the fencing could be done at once.

available to do the entire job, and asked that he be authorized to close out that
project and the project be reviewed again for 1974. Comm. Putney withdrew his
resolution and Comm. Parkes his second.

As directed by the Board,
Mr. Dingman presented the following response to the letter from Alderman Wallace
inquiring about the progress of the repairs to the golf course. To date, 2,190
cu. yds. of top soil have been placed on the fairways at a cost of $17,520; 153.5 cu.
yds. of sand soil mixture have been placed in the greens at a cost of $3,760.75;
21,788 sq. yds. of raking, rolling, and seeding have been performed on the fairways
at a cost of $5,664.88; and 1,134 sq. yds, of green preparation have been performed
at a cost of $430.92. In addition, $603 of extra work has been performed. McGuire
has been paid for 90% of the work to date, or a total of $20,983.11. Completed
and not billed for is $4,530 worth of work, and it is anticipated that approximately
$150 in chargeable work remains to be done. Mr. McGuire is present today and will
explain to you the progress of the work to date, and his estimate of the time needed
to complete. No action by the Board is necessary.-iitl
Mrb Tom McGuire of McGuire Gardens appeared before the Board and made the following
comments:
The work on the Golf Course is just about completed. We have to wait and let
nature take its course on growing the grass, this could take as long as eight to
twelve months. About ninety five percent of the work has been done, but some of it
will have to be done over at a later date. The conditions are not right, they
have never been right. Mr. McGuire said we started too late last fall, and the
weather has been against them. Four greens were unplayable, but one green will be
open in two to four weeks. Mr. McGuire said he worked closely with the Dept. of
Public Works staff. He said the Golf Course would not be fully playable until next
year.
Alderman Wallace commented that he wrote the letter mainly to get some answers. Mr.
Wallace said he was not attacking anyone, that he was just trying to get some an-
swers to many questions asked by the golfers.
On July 12, 1973, McGuire Gardens presented an estimate for payment in connection
with the reconstruction of the Municipal Golf Course in the amount of $4,530.24.
A recommendation for payment was withheld at that time because work had not progressed
satisfactorily. The total billings of McGuire in connection with this reconstruction
are $27,979.80. They have been paid to date $20,983.11. It is proposed to retain
$2,797.98 (10% of total) to assure final completion. The work has progressed
sufficiently so that the department makes the following recommendation:

The letter read as follows: appeared on the Agenda under Public and Buildings Ithaca

Gentlemen:
At a joint meeting of representatives from the City of Ithaca, Tomn of Ithaca,
United Fund and. the Ithaca School District held on June 22, 1973, to discuss
recreational needs of the area, the question of a joint maintenance facility
arese. Some of the potential advantages and disadvantages of releasing the
space in the Aviarkles Flat area now being used by the school system for main-
tenance operations was discussed. The use of the old naval reserve building 1
for potential maintenance purposes was also discussed.
Before we proceed with any further conversations and/or negotiations in this
area, it would be very desirable to obtain the Department of Public Works'
requirements (space, type of facilities, equipment, etc.) for a new maintenance
facility and their evaluation of the necessity of such a facility. It wog id also
be desirable to know the Board's and Departments' evaluatio.? -f the poten i1
advantages and disadvantages of making a new maintenance facility a joint venture
amond the City, the Town of Ithaca and the Ithaca School District.
Consideration of this request by the Board and Department would be greatly
appreciated.

Attn: Mr. Robert Dingman
Gentlemen:
Carried
The undersigned owners of 105 and 107 Miller Street hereby respectfully
request that the sidewalk on the south side of the street which extends from
Cobb Street to Cornell Street except for a small gap of 50 feet along the
property of Professor William E. Taylor, be made continuous. Professor Taylor's
property is on the corner with sidewalk on Cornell Street and Miller Street
except for the missing portion. A new house has been built at 105 Miller Street
and will be the residence of two families, and 107 Miller Street is occupied by
a family with five children. To make the sidewalk continuous seems to make common
sense from the standpoint of safety, convenience, and neighborhood appearance.
Gentlemen:
Sincerely,
Joseph A. Kahl
Owner of 105 Miller St.
Fairview Manor Realty Company
By Norbert H. Schickel, Jr.
Owner of 107 Miller St.
I have been informed by Mr. Dingman that at your meeting of September 26, you
authorized him to require me to construct a sidewalk along the portion of my
property (221 Cornell Street) bounding Miller Street.
Unfortunately, I was not notified prior to this meeting and consequently was unable
to present to you my view of this matter - which maintains that a sidewalk is
unwarranted under the circumstances peculiar to our neighborhood. Judging from
errors in Mr. Dingman's letter which I find repeated. in Mr. Schickel's original
letter drawing your attention to this matter, I conclude that you have based your
judgement solely upon the information provided by Mr. Schickel. As he and I have
opposite interests in the matter, I feel only half the evidence has been heard.
I would appreciate the opportunity of bringing my view to your attention, either
in person or in writing. I am new to Ithaca and unfamiliar with the rules under
which the Board of Public Works operates; if you would inform me (i) when and (ii)
in what form to present my side, I would be grateful.
c.c.: N. Schickel
R. Dingman
Sincerely yours,
William E. Taylor

$10,00 per cleaning. Mr. Dingman said he was preparing a memo to his peopl
for handling such complaints. When the complaints arereceived the property
